1Zvino Jehovha akati kuna. Mozisi, Pinda kuna Farao, uti kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha, tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandondinamata.
1Yahweh spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, “This is what Yahweh says, ‘Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2Kana ukaramba kuvatendera, tarira, ndicharova nyika yako yose namatatya;
2If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs:
3rwizi ruchazara kwazvo namatatya; achakwira, achipinda mumba mako, nomuimba yako yokuvata, napanhovo dzako, nomudzimba dzavaranda vako, napamusoro pavanhu vako, nomuzvoto zvako, nomumidziyo yako mamunokanyira zvokudya;
3and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:
4matatya achakwira pamusoro pako napamusoro pavanhu vako, napamusoro pavaranda vako vose.
4and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.’”
5Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Iti kuna Aroni, Tambanudzira ruoko rwako rwakabata tsvimbo yako pamusoro penzizi, napamusoro pehova, napamusoro pamadziva, uraire matatya kuti akwire panyika
5Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’”
6Ipapo Aroni akatambanudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro pemvura yeEgipita, matatya akakwira, akafukidza nyika yeEgipita.
6Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7n'anga dzikaita saizvozvo nouroyi hwadzo dzikaraira matatya kuti akwire panyika yeEgipita.
7The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
8Zvino Farao akadana Mozisi naAroni, akati, Nyengeterai kuna Jehovha kuti abvise matatya kwandiri nokuvanhu vangu, nditendere vanhu kuenda kundobayira Jehovha.
8Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.”
9Mozisi akati kuna Farao, imwi mukudzwe kupfuura ini ! Ndokunyengetererai nguva ipi, imwi navaranda venyu, navanhu venyu, kuti matatya aparadzwe kwamuri, nomudzimba dzenyu, asare murwizi chete?
9Moses said to Pharaoh, “I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only.”
10Iye akati, Mangwana. Akati, Zvichaitwa sezvamareva; kuti muzive kuti hakuna mumwe akafanana naJehovha, Mwari wedu.
10He said, “Tomorrow.” He said, “Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like Yahweh our God.
11Matatya achabva kwamuri, nomudzimba dzenyu, nokuvaranda venyu, nokuvanhu venyu; achasara murwizi chete.
11The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.”
12Mozisi naAroni vakabuda muna Farao, Mozisi akadana kuna Jehovha nokuda kwamatatya aakanga atuma kuna Farao.
12Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to Yahweh concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
13Jehovha akaita sezvakanga zvarehwa naMozisi, matatya akafa mudzimba nomuzvivanze nokuruwa.
13Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
14Vakaaunganidza, vakaaita mirwi, nyika ikanhuwa.
14They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
15Zvino Farao akati achiona kuti zvava zviri nani, akaomesa moyo wake, akasavateerera; sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha.
15But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
16Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Iti kuna Aroni, Tambanudza tsvimbo yako, urove guruva rapasi, rishanduke utunga panyika
16Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’”
17Vakaita saizvozvo; Aroni akatambanudza ruoko rwake rwakabata tsvimbo yake, akarova guruva rapasi, utunga ukavapo pavanhu napazvipfuwo; guruva rose rapasi rikashanduka utunga panyika yose
17They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18n'anga dzikaita saizvozvo nouroyi hwadzo kuti dzibudise utunga, asi hadzina kugona; utunga hwakanga huri pavanhu napazvipfuwo.
18The magicians tried with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on man, and on animal.
19Zvino n'anga dzakati kuna Farao, Mumwe waMwari; asi moyo waFarao wakaomeswa, akasavateerera, sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha.
19Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God:” and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them; as Yahweh had spoken.
20Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Fumira mangwanani, undomira pamberi paFarao; tarira, achabuda achienda kumvura, uti kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha, tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandinamate.
20Yahweh said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes out to the water; and tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21nekuti kana ukaramba kutendera vanhu vangu, tarira ndichatuma bute renhunzi pamusoro pako, napamusoro pavaranda vako, napamusoro pavanhu vako, nomudzimba dzako; dzimba dzavaEgipita dzichazara namapute enhunzi, kunyange nevhu padzimire.
21Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
22Nomusi iwoyo ndichatsaura nyika yeGosheni pagere vanhu vangu, kuti ipapo mapute enhunzi arege kuvapo; kuti uzive kuti ndini Jehovha pakati penyika dzose.
22I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am Yahweh in the midst of the earth.
23Ndichaparadzanisa vanhu vangu navanhu vako; chiratidzo ichi chichavapo mangwana.
23I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be.”’”
24Zvino Jehovha akaita saizvozvo, mapute makuru-kuru enhunzi akapinda mumba maFarao, nomudzimba dzavaranda vake, nomunyika yose yeEgipita; nyika ikaodzwa namapute enhunzi.
24Yahweh did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
25Zvino Farao akadana Mozisi naAroni, akati, Endai, mundobayira Mwari wenyu munyika ino.
25Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land!”
26Mozisi akati, Hazvina kunaka kuita saizvozvo, nekuti tichabayira Jehovha, Mwari wedu, zvibayiro zvinonyangadza vaEgipita; tarirai, kana tikabayira zvinonyangadza vaEgipita havangatitaki namabwe here?
26Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Yahweh our God. Behold, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won’t they stone us?
27Tichaenda rwendo rwamazuva matatu murenje, tigobayira Jehovha Mwari wedu sezvaanotiraira.
27We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as he shall command us.”
28Farao akati, Ndichakutenderai kuenda mundobayira Jehovha Mwari wenyu murenje, asi musaenda kure-kure. Ndinyengetererei.
28Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me.”
29Mozisi akati, Tarirai, ndinobuda kwamuri, ndichandonyengetera kuna Jehovha kuti mapute enhunzi abve kuna Farao, nokuvaranda vake, nokuvanhu vake mangwana; asi Farao ngaarege kuzonyengerazve, achiramba kutendera vanhu kuenda kundobayira Jehovha.
29Moses said, “Behold, I go out from you, and I will pray to Yahweh that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don’t let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Yahweh.”
30Ipapo Mozisi akabuda kuna Farao, akandonyengetera kuna Jehovha.
30Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh.
31Jehovha akaita sezvakakumbira Mozisi, akabvisa mapute enhunzi kuna Farao, nokuvaranda vake, nokuvanhu vake; haana kusara kunyange neimwe.
31Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.
32Asi Farao akaomesa moyo wake nenguva iyowo, akasatendera vanhu kuenda.
32Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn’t let the people go.
