Exodus 7
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kpɔ ɖa, mewɔ wò abe Mawu ene na Farao, eye nɔviwò ŋutsu Aron abe wò nyagblɔɖila ene.
2 Thou shall speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
Gblɔ nu sia nu si ƒe se mede na wò la na Aron. Eya agblɔe na Farao, eye wòabia be Farao naɖe asi le Israelviwo ŋu woadzo le Egipte.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Ke mana Farao nasẽ dzi me, agbe. Ekema magawɔ dzesi dziŋɔ geɖewo le Egiptenyigba dzi.
4 But Pharaoh will not hearken to you. And I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people the sons of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
Ke le esiawo megbe hã la, Farao maɖo to wò o. Ekema mana nye asi nava Egiptetɔwo dzi, mabu fɔ wo kple nukudɔ geɖewo, eye makplɔ nye amehawo, nye dukɔ, Israel, adzoe le Egiptenyigba dzi.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the sons of Israel from among them.
Ekema Egiptetɔwo adze sii be le nyateƒe me la, nyee nye Yehowa, ne meɖe nye ŋusẽ fia Egiptetɔwo, eye mekplɔ Israelviwo dzoe le wo dome.”
6 And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah commanded them, so they did.
Mose kple Aron wowɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo na wo.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Mose xɔ ƒe blaenyi, eye Aron xɔ ƒe blaenyi-vɔ-etɔ̃ le ɣeyiɣi sia me, esi wodo ɖe Farao ŋkume.
8 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show a wonder for you, then thou shall say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.
“Ne Farao abia be, ‘Miawɔ nukunu aɖe la,’ ekema gblɔ na Aron be, ‘Tsɔ wò atikplɔ la da ɖe anyigba le Farao ŋkume,’ eye wòatrɔ azu da.”
10 And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh. And they did so, as Jehovah had commanded, and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Ale Mose kple Aron woyi Farao gbɔ, eye wowɔ nukunu la abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na wo ene. Aron ɖe asi le eƒe atikplɔ ŋu da ɖe anyigba le Farao kple eŋumewo ŋkume, eye wòzu da.
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. And they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their enchantments.
Tete Farao yɔ eƒe nunyalawo kple afakalawo kple Egipte ƒe akunyawɔlawo. Woawo hã te ŋu wɔ nu ma ke kple woƒe akunyawɔwɔ!
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents, but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
Woawo hã ƒe atikplɔwo trɔ zu dawo esi wotsɔ wo da ɖe anyigba. Ke Aron ƒe atikplɔ lé woƒe atikplɔwo mi.
13 And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had spoken.
Farao gasẽ dzi me kokoko, eye meɖo to wo o, abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ do ŋgɔe ene.
14 And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is stubborn; he refuses to let the people go.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Farao ƒe dzi me sẽ, eye wògbe be yemaɖe asi le ameawo ŋu woadzo o.
15 Get thee to Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he goes out to the water, and thou shall stand by the river's edge to meet him, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou shall take in thy hand.
“Togbɔ be nuwo anɔ alea hã la, gbugbɔ yi Farao gbɔ le ŋdi me, esime wòanɔ tɔsisi la to yim. Tsi tsitre ɖe tɔsisi la to, eye nàdo goe le afi ma; nàlé wò atikplɔ si zu da la ɖe asi.
16 And thou shall say to him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. And, behold, until now thou have not hearkened.
Gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Yehowa, Hebritɔwo ƒe Mawu la, gaɖom ɖa be mana nàɖe asi le yeƒe amewo ŋu woayi aɖasubɔ ye le gbedzi.’ Gake va se ɖe fifi meɖo tom o.
17 Thus says Jehovah, In this thou shall know that I am Jehovah. 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.
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Èle si dze gee be nyee nye Yehowa, elabena megblɔ na Mose be wòatsɔ eƒe atikplɔ la aƒo Nil tɔsisi la ƒe tsi dzi, eye tɔsisi la atrɔ azu ʋu!
18 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.
Tɔmelãwo aku, eye tsi la aʋẽ ale be Egiptetɔwo magalɔ̃ be yewoanoe o.’”
19 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to 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.
Emegbe Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gblɔ na Aron be, ‘Tsɔ wò atikplɔ do ɖe Egipte tsiwo katã dzi ekema Egipte tɔsisiwo, tɔʋuwo, tawo, tsi si woku da ɖi katã atrɔ zu ʋu! Ʋu anɔ afi sia afi le Egiptenyigba dzi, anɔ tsitɔkpowo kple kpezɔwo gɔ̃ hã me.’”
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah 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.
Mose kple Aron wowɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo na wo be woawɔ. Aron ƒo Nil tɔsisi la kple eƒe atikplɔ la, eye tɔsisi la trɔ zu ʋu le Farao kple eŋumewo katã ŋkume.
21 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.
Tɔmelãwo katã ku, tsi la ƒaƒã ale be, Egiptetɔwo megate ŋu noe o. Ʋu xɔ Egiptenyigba ƒe akpa sia akpa dzi.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments. And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had spoken.
Egiptetɔwo ƒe akunyawɔlawo hã wɔ woƒe nunya ɣaɣlawo ŋu dɔ, eye woawo hã wotrɔ tsi wòzu ʋu. Nu sia na Farao ƒe dzi me gasẽ kokoko. Meɖo to Mose kple Aron o, abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe do ŋgɔ ene tututu.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
Mose kple Aron ƒe wɔnawo mewɔ dɔ aɖeke ɖe edzi o; etrɔ yi eƒe fiasã me.
24 And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river.
Egiptetɔwo ɖe vudowo ɖe tɔsisi la to be yewoakpɔ tsi nono, elabena womate ŋu ano tɔsisi la me tsi o.
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river.
Nil tɔsisi la trɔ zu ʋu ŋkeke adre sɔŋ esi Yehowa gblẽe.
