The Next Six Punishments

Moses and Aaron carry God message to Pharaoh: ‘If you not let my people go, I will send cow fly to Egypt.’ Plenty cow fly enter the Egyptian dem house, both the rich and the poor people. The cow fly full up the whole country. But no cow fly wor in Goshen, the place the Israelite dem wor living. Starting from this fourth punishment to the last punishment, da only the Egyptians suffer. Pharaoh tell Moses say: ‘Beg Jehovah to take the cow fly from the land. Then your people can go.’ But when Jehovah take the cow fly from the land, Pharaoh change his mind. You think Pharaoh will ever learn?

Jehovah say: ‘If Pharaoh not let my people go, the Egyptian dem animals will get sick and die.’ The next day, the animal dem start dying. But the Israelite dem animals not die. Pharaoh wor still hardhead, and he not give up.

Then Jehovah tell Moses to go back to Pharaoh and throw ashes in the air. The ashes turn to dust and it wor all in the air, it waste on all the Egyptian dem. The dust make sore to come on all the Egyptians and on all their animal dem. The sore wor painful. But Pharaoh refuse to let the Israelite dem go.

Jehovah send Moses back to Pharaoh with His message: ‘You still not want allow my people to go? Tomorrow I will make hail to come down like rain on the land.’ The next day, Jehovah send hail, thunder, and fire. It wor the worst storm the people in Egypt na ever see. All the trees and their plant dem spoil, but the trees and the plants in Goshen not spoil. Pharaoh tell Moses say: ‘Beg Jehovah to stop this thing! Then you can go.’ As soon the hail and the rain stop, Pharaoh change his mind.

Then Moses say: ‘Grasshoppers will eat any plant da the hailstorm not spoil.’ Plenty-plenty grasshoppers eat everything da wor on the trees and on the farm. Pharaoh tell Moses: ‘Please beg Jehovah to send the grasshoppers away.’ But even after Jehovah stop the grasshoppers, Pharaoh wor still hardhead.

Jehovah tell Moses say: ‘Stretch your hand to the sky.’ Right away, the whole sky get dark. For three days, the Egyptians wor not even able to see anybody or anything. Only the Israelite dem wor having light in their house dem.

Pharaoh tell Moses say: ‘You and your people can go. But just leave yor animal dem here.’ Moses say: ‘We have to carry our animal dem so we can make offering to our God.’ Pharaoh wor too vex. He start shouting: ‘Move from here! If I see you here again, I will kill you.’
