Eksodho 9

¹Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Pinda kuna Farao, undomuudza, uti, `Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waVaHebheru: Tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandinamate.'Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

²Nokuti kana ukaramba kuvatendera, ukaramba uchivadzivisa,For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,

³tarira, ruoko rwaJehovha ruchava pamusoro pezvipfuwo zvako zviri kusango, napamusoro pamabhiza, napamusoro pembongoro, napamusoro pamakamera, napamusoro pemombe, napamusoro pezvipfuwo zviduku; hosha yakaipa kwazvo ichavapo.Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.

⁴Jehovha acharaura zvipfuwo zvavaIsiraeri pazvipfuwo zvavaIjipiti; hapana chimwe chingafa pazvipfuwo zvose zvavaIsiraeri.And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children’s of Israel.

⁵Zvino Jehovha akatara nguva akati, Mangwana Jehovha achaita chinhu ichi munyika ino.And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.

⁶Fume mangwana Jehovha akaita chinhu ichocho, zvipfuwo zvose zveIjipiti zvikafa; asi pazvipfuwo zvavana vaIsiraeri hapana zvakafa, kunyange nechimwe chete.And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

⁷Farao akatuma vanhu, vakawana kuti pazvipfuwo zvavaIsiraeri hapana zvakafa, kunyange chimwe chete. Asi moyo waFarao wakava mukukutu, akasatendera vanhu kuenda.And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

⁸Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi naAroni, Torai tsama dzamadota echoto, Mozisi aakushire kudenga pamberi paFarao.And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

⁹Achashanduka guruva rakatsetseka panyika yose yeIjipiti, achiita mamota anoputika semhoni pavanhu napazvipfuwo zvose zveIjjipiti.And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

¹⁰Ivo vakatora madota echoto, vakamira pamberi paFarao, Mozisi akaakushira kudenga, akaita mamota anoputika semhoni pavanhu napazvipfuwo.And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.

¹¹Zvino n’anga dzakanga dzisingagoni kumira pamberi paMozisi nokuda kwamamota, nokuti mamota akanga ari pan’anga napavaIjipiti vose.And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

¹²Asi Jehovha akaomesa moyo waFarao, akasavateerera, sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha kuna Mozisi.And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.

¹³Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Fumira mangwanani, undomira pamberi paFarao, uti kwaari, `Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari wavaHebheru: Tendera vanhu vangu kuenda vandinamate.'And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

¹⁴Nokuti nenguva ino ndichatuma matambudziko angu ose pamusoro pomoyo wako, napamusoro pavaranda vako, napamusoro pavanhu vako, uzive kuti hapana akafanana neni panyika dzose.For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

¹⁵Nokuti dai ndisakadaro, ndingadai ndaitambanudza ruoko rwangu, ndikakurova iwe navanhu vako nehosha yakaipa, ukaparadzwa chose panyika;For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

¹⁶asi zvirokwazvo ndakakuraramisa nokuda kwaizvozvo, kuti ndikuratidze simba rangu, uye kuti zita rangu rikurumbire kunyika dzose.And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

¹⁷Zvino ucharamba uchingozvikudza uchirwa navanhu vangu, usingadi kuvatendera kuenda here?As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

¹⁸Tarira, mangwana, nenguva yakaita seino, ndichanisa chimvuramabwe chakaipa kwazvo, chisina kumbovapo paIjipiti kubva pakuvambwa kwayo kusvikira zvino.Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

¹⁹Naizvozvo zvino tuma vanhu, uunganidze zvipfuwo zvako nezvose zvaunazvo kusango, nokuti vanhu vose nezvipfuwo zvose zvinowanikwa kusango, zvisina kuiswa mudzimba, zvicharohwa nechimvuramabwe zvikafa.Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

²⁰Zvino vakatya shoko raJehovha pakati pavaranda vaFarao vakaraira kuti varanda vavo nezvipfuwo zvavo zvitizire mudzimba.He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:

²¹Asi vakanga vasingateereri shoko raJehovha, vakarega varanda vavo nezvipfuwo zvavo kusango.And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.

²²Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Tambanudzira ruoko rwako kudenga, chimvuramabwe chivepo panyika yose yeIjipiti, pamusoro pavanhu, napamusoro pezvipfuwo, napamusoro pemiriwo yose yeminda panyika yose yeIjipiti.And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

²³Mozisi akatambanudzira tsvimbo yake kudenga, Jehovha akatuma kutinhira nechimvuramabwe, moto wemheni ukarova pasi. Jehovha akanaisa chimvuramabwe panyikaAnd Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

²⁴Chimvuramabwe chikavapo, nomoto wakavengana nechimvuramabwe, chikanyanya kwazvo, chisina kumbovapo panyika yose yeIjipiti, kubva pakutanga kworudzi ipapo.So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

²⁵Chimvuramabwe chikarova zvose zvakanga zviri kusango, vanhu nezvipfuwo, panyika yose yeIjipiti; chimvuramabwe chikarova miriwo yose yeminda, chikavhuna miti yose yesango.And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.

²⁶Asi munyika yeGosheni bedzi, imo makanga muna vana vaIsiraeri, ndipo pakanga pasina chimvuramabwe.Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

²⁷Zvino Farao akatuma vanhu kundodana Mozisi naAroni, akati kwavari, Nguva ino ndatadza; Jehovha akarurama, asi ini navaranda vangu takaipa.And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

²⁸Nyengeterai kuna Jehovha, nokuti kutinhira kukuru kwaMwari nechimvuramabwe zvaringana; ndichakutenderai kuenda, murege kugara.Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.

²⁹Mozisi akati kwaari, Kana ndangobuda paguta, ndichatambanudzira maoko angu kuna Jehovha; ipapo kutinhira kuchanyarara, nechimvuramabwe hachizovipo; muchaziva kuti nyika yose ndeyaJehovha.And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD’S.

³⁰Asi kana murimwi navaranda venyu, ndinoziva kuti hamungatyi Jehovha Mwari.But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.

³¹Miti yoruchinda nebhari zvikarohwa, nokuti bhari yakanga yatumbuka, nemiti yoruchinda yakanga yava namaruva.And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.

³²Asi zviyo zvekoroni nezvesipereti hazvina kurohwa, nokuti zvakanga zvisina kukura.But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.

³³Zvino Mozisi akabuda muguta pamberi paFarao, akatambanudzira maoko ake kuna Jehovha, kutinhira nechimvuramabwe zvikanyarara, nemvura ikasadururirwa panyika.And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

³⁴Zvino Farao akati aona kuti mvura nechimvuramabwe nokutinhira zvanyarara, akawedzera kutadza, akaomesa moyo wake, iye navaranda vake.And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

³⁵moyo waFarao ukaomeswa, akasatendera vana vaIsiraeri kuenda; sezvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha nomuromo waMozisi.And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
