Eksodo 7
1 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Taona ine ndakuyika kuti ukhale ngati Mulungu kwa Farao, ndipo mʼbale wako Aaroni adzakhala mneneri wako.
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'See, I have set thee in God's stead to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Iwe ukanene zonse zimene ndakulamulirazi, ndipo Aaroni mʼbale wako ndiye akaziyankhule kwa Farao kuti atulutse ana a Israeli mʼdziko la Igupto.
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 Koma ndidzawumitsa mtima wa Farao, ndipo ngakhale nditachulukitsa zizindikiro zozizwitsa ndi zodabwitsa mu Igupto,
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 iyeyo sadzakumverani. Choncho ndidzakantha Igupto, ndipo ndi ntchito zachiweruzo ndidzatulutsa magulu anga, anthu anga Aisraeli kuwachotsa mʼdziko la Igupto.
But Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay My hand upon Egypt, and bring forth My hosts, My people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt, by great judgments.
5 Ndipo Aigupto adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova, ndikadzatambasula dzanja langa kukantha Igupto ndi kutulutsa Aisraeli mʼdzikomo.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.'
6 Mose ndi Aaroni anachita monga momwe Yehova anawalamulira.
And Moses and Aaron did so; as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7 Mose anali ndi zaka 80, ndipo Aaroni anali ndi zaka 83 pamene anakayankhula kwa Farao.
And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
8 Yehova anati kwa Mose ndi Aaroni,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
9 “Ngati Farao adzati kwa inu, ‘Chitani chozizwitsa,’ iwe Mose udzati kwa Aaroni, ‘Tenga ndodo yako ndipo uyiponye pamaso pa Farao,’ ndipo idzasanduka njoka.”
'When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying: Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'
10 Kotero Mose ndi Aaroni anapita kwa Farao ndi kuchita monga momwe Yehova anawalamulira. Aaroni anaponya ndodo yake pansi patsogolo pa Farao ndi nduna zake ndipo inasanduka njoka.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Naye Farao anayitanitsa anthu ake anzeru ndi amatsenga, ndipo nawonso amatsenga a Chiigupto anachita zinthu zomwezo mwa matsenga awo.
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts.
12 Aliyense wa iwo anaponya ndodo yake pansi ndipo inasanduka njoka. Koma ndodo ya Aaroni inameza ndodo zawo.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents; but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Koma mtima wa Farao unawuma ndipo sanawamvere monga momwe Yehova ananenera.
And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
14 Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Farao ndi wowuma mtima. Akukana kulola anthu anga kuti apite.
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Pharaoh's heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Upite kwa Farao mmawa pamene azidzapita ku madzi. Ukamudikire mʼmbali mwa Nailo kuti ukakumane naye ndipo unyamule ndodo imene inasanduka njoka ija mʼdzanja lako.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.
16 Ndipo ukamuwuze Farao kuti, ‘Yehova, Mulungu wa Ahebri wandituma kuti ndikuwuzeni kuti: Lolani anthu anga apite kuti akandipembedze mʼchipululu. Koma mpaka tsopano inu simunandimvere.
And thou shalt say unto him: The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying: Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness; and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened;
17 Izi ndi zimene Yehova akunena: Ndi ndodo imene ili mʼdzanja langa ndidzamenya madzi a mu Nailo, ndipo madzi adzasanduka magazi. Ndikadzachita ichi udzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova:
thus saith the LORD: In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD — behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Nsomba za mu Nailo zidzafa, mtsinje udzanunkha ndipo Aigupto sadzatha kumwa madzi ake.’”
And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.'
19 Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Uza Aaroni kuti, ‘Tenga ndodo yako uyilozetse ku madzi a mu Igupto pa mitsinje, pa ngalande, pa zithaphwi ndi pa madambo, ndipo onse adzasanduka magazi.’ Mʼdziko lonse la Igupto mudzakhala magazi, ngakhale mʼzotungira madzi zopangidwa ndi mitengo ndi miyala.”
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'
20 Mose ndi Aaroni anachita monga momwe Yehova analamulira. Anakweza ndodo yake pamaso pa Farao ndi akuluakulu ake ndipo anamenya madzi a mu Nailo, ndipo madzi onse anasanduka magazi.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 Nsomba za mu Nailo zinafa ndipo mtsinje unanunkha kwambiri kotero kuti Aigupto sanathe kumwa madzi ake. Magazi anali ponseponse mu Igupto.
And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Koma amatsenga a Chiigupto anachita zinthu zomwezo mwa matsenga awo. Choncho Farao anawumabe mtima, ndipo sanamvere zonena za Mose ndi Aaroni monga momwe Yehova ananeneratu.
And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
23 Mʼmalo mwake iye anatembenuka ndi kupita ku nyumba yake yaufumu ndipo zimenezi sanazilabadire.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
24 Anthu onse a ku Igupto anayamba kukumba mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Nailo kuti apeze madzi akumwa, chifukwa sanathe kumwa madzi a mu mtsinjemo.
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Panapita masiku asanu ndi awiri Yehova atamenya madzi a mu mtsinje wa Nailo.
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
