10 ¶ Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Ale bò kot farawon an. Se mwen menm ki fè l' gen tèt di, li menm ansanm ak moun pa l' yo, pou m' fè yo wè mèvèy mwen ka fè nan mitan yo.

Konsa tou, n'a rakonte pitit nou yo ak pitit pitit nou yo sa mwen te fè moun peyi Lejip yo pase ak kalite mèvèy mwen te fè nan mitan yo. Lè sa a nou tout n'a konnen se mwen menm menm ki Seyè a.

Se konsa Moyiz ak Arawon ale bò kote farawon an. Yo di l': -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp ebre a, voye di ou: Kilè w'a aprann soumèt tèt ou devan mwen? Kite pèp mwen an ale pou l' ka fè yon sèvis pou mwen.

Si ou refize kite pèp mwen an ale, men sa m' pral fè: Denmen, mwen pral voye krikèt vèt sou tout peyi a.

Yo pral kouvri tout tè a, jouk moun p'ap ka wè tè a ankò. Yo pral devore ti rès lagrèl te kite pou nou an. y'a devore tout pyebwa ki nan jaden nou yo.

Y'ap anvayi tout kay ou yo, kay tout moun pa ou yo ak kay tout moun nan peyi a. Se bagay granpapa nou yo ak zansèt nou yo pa t' janm wè depi yo fèt jouk jounen jòdi a. Apre sa, Moyiz vire do l', li soti kay farawon an.

Moun pa farawon yo vin di l': -Kilè nonm sa a va sispann ban nou pwoblèm? Kite moun yo ale non. Kite yo al fè sèvis pou Bondye yo a. Ou pa wè jan peyi Lejip la ap fini!

Se konsa yo fè Moyiz ak Arawon tounen vin kote farawon an. Farawon an di yo: -Nou mèt al fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Kilès ki prale?

Moyiz reponn li: -Nou prale ak tout timoun yo, ak tout granmoun yo, ak tout pitit gason nou yo, ak tout pitit fi nou yo ansanm ak bèf, mouton ak kabrit nou yo, paske se yon gwo sèvis pou n' fè pou Seyè a.

10 Farawon an di yo: -Gade jan nou gen move lide dèyè tèt nou! Mwen ta swete pou Seyè a ede nou vre! Men, mwen p'ap kite nou ale ansanm ak timoun yo.

11 Non. Sa p'ap pase konsa. Se nou menm gason yo ase ki mèt ale pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Se pa sa nou te mande? Lè l' fin di yo sa, li fè mete yo deyò lakay li.

12 ¶ Seyè a di Moyiz: -Lonje men ou sou peyi Lejip la pou fè krikèt yo vini sou li. Y'ap vini, y'ap devore tout fèy bwa nan peyi a. Wi, y'a devore tou sa lagrèl te kite.

13 Moyiz lonje baton l' lan sou peyi Lejip la. Seyè a fè yon van nòde soufle sou peyi a. Van an soufle tout yon jounen ak tout yon nwit. Nan maten, van an pote krikèt vèt yo vini.

14 Krikèt yo tonbe sou peyi Lejip la, yo poze toupatou nan peyi a. Moun pa t' janm wè kantite krikèt konsa, epi se bagay yo p'ap janm wè ankò.

15 Krikèt yo kouvri tè a nèt. Tè a vin tou nwa ak krikèt. Krikèt yo manje tou sak t'ap pouse nan peyi a, tout fwi ki te nan pyebwa yo, tou sa lagrèl te kite. pa t' rete yon ti fèy vèt nan pyebwa yo ankò nan tout peyi Lejip la. Tout jaden te pèdi nèt.

16 Lè sa a, farawon an prese fè rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Mwen peche kont Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen peche kont nou menm tou.

17 Tanpri, padonnen peche m' fwa sa a. Lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ankò pou l' wete chatiman sa a sou mwen. Se touye chatiman sa a ap touye m'!

18 Moyiz soti kay farawon an. Li lapriyè Seyè a.

19 Seyè a fè yon gwo van lwès soufle fwa sa a. Van an pote tout krikèt yo al jete nan lanmè Wouj la. Pat rete yon sèl grenn krikèt nan tout peyi Lejip la.

20 Men Seyè a fè farawon an fè tèt di ankò. Farawon an pa kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale.

21 ¶ Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Lonje men ou anlè pou fènwa kouvri peyi Lejip la, yon fènwa sitèlman pwès moun ta ka santi li anba men yo.

22 Moyiz leve men li anlè, epi yon fènwa byen pwès desann kouvri tout peyi Lejip la pandan twa jou.

23 Moun peyi Lejip yo fè twa jou yonn pa t' ka wè lòt, pesonn pa mete tèt deyò. Men, te gen klète kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rete a.

24 Farawon an fè rele Moyiz, li di l' konsa: -Nou mèt ale fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Nou mèt ale ak timoun nou yo. Men mouton nou yo, kabrit nou yo ak bèf nou yo ap rete isit la.

25 Moyiz reponn li: -Bon, lè sa a, se ou menm ki pral ban nou bèt pou nou touye pou nou boule pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an?

26 Tout bèt nou fèt pou ale ak nou. Nou p'ap kite yonn dèyè. Paske, se ladan yo pou nou pran sa nou bezwen pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Tout tan nou pa rive, nou poko konnen kisa nou pral chwazi pou ofri bay Seyè a.

27 Men Seyè a fè farawon an fè tèt di pi rèd toujou. Farawon an pa t' vle kite yo ale.

28 Farawon an di Moyiz konsa: -Wete kò ou devan m'. Gade! Pa janm parèt devan m' ankò, paske jou ou ta parèt devan m' ankò, m'ap disparèt ou.

29 Moyiz reponn li: -Jan ou vle! Mwen p'ap janm parèt devan ou ankò.

The Plague of Locusts

10 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart(A) and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these signs(B) of mine among them that you may tell your children(C) and grandchildren how I dealt harshly(D) with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the Lord.”(E)

So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble(F) yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse(G) to let them go, I will bring locusts(H) into your country tomorrow. They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left(I) after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields.(J) They will fill your houses(K) and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians—something neither your parents nor your ancestors have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.’”(L) Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh.

Pharaoh’s officials said to him, “How long will this man be a snare(M) to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the Lord their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is ruined?”(N)

Then Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship(O) the Lord your God,” he said. “But tell me who will be going.”

Moses answered, “We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, and with our flocks and herds, because we are to celebrate a festival(P) to the Lord.”

10 Pharaoh said, “The Lord be with you—if I let you go, along with your women and children! Clearly you are bent on evil.[a] 11 No! Have only the men go and worship the Lord, since that’s what you have been asking for.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh’s presence.

12 And the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand(Q) over Egypt so that locusts swarm over the land and devour everything growing in the fields, everything left by the hail.”

13 So Moses stretched out his staff(R) over Egypt, and the Lord made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts;(S) 14 they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts,(T) nor will there ever be again. 15 They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured(U) all that was left after the hail—everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees. Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.

16 Pharaoh quickly summoned(V) Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned(W) against the Lord your God and against you. 17 Now forgive(X) my sin once more and pray(Y) to the Lord your God to take this deadly plague away from me.”

18 Moses then left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord.(Z) 19 And the Lord changed the wind to a very strong west wind, which caught up the locusts and carried them into the Red Sea.[b] Not a locust was left anywhere in Egypt. 20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart,(AA) and he would not let the Israelites go.

The Plague of Darkness

21 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness(AB) spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness(AC) covered all Egypt for three days. 23 No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.(AD)

24 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go,(AE) worship the Lord. Even your women and children(AF) may go with you; only leave your flocks and herds behind.”(AG)

25 But Moses said, “You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings(AH) to present to the Lord our God. 26 Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind. We have to use some of them in worshiping the Lord our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are to use to worship the Lord.”

27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart,(AI) and he was not willing to let them go. 28 Pharaoh said to Moses, “Get out of my sight! Make sure you do not appear before me again! The day you see my face you will die.”

29 “Just as you say,” Moses replied. “I will never appear(AJ) before you again.”
