< Exodus 7 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses, See I have made you a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother will be your prophet.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “We ngũtuĩte ta Ngai harĩ Firaũni, nake mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni egũtuĩka mũnabii waku.
2 Say whatever I give you orders to say: and Aaron your brother will give word to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Wee ũriugaga ũrĩa wothe ndĩgwathaga, nake mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni nĩwe ũrĩĩraga Firaũni arekererie andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wake.
3 And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and my signs and wonders will be increased in the land of Egypt.
No nĩngũtũma ngoro ya Firaũni yũme, na o na ndaingĩhia ciama ciakwa na morirũ gũkũ bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ,
4 But Pharaoh will not give ear to you, and I will put my hand on Egypt, and take my armies, my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt, after great punishments.
ndakamũigua. Ningĩ nĩngatambũrũkia guoko gwakwa kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na ndute ikundi cia andũ akwa a Isiraeli moime kuo na ũndũ wa ciĩko nene cia ũtuanĩri ciira.
5 And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when my hand is stretched out over Egypt, and I take the children of Israel out from among them.
Nao andũ a Misiri nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngataambũrũkia guoko gwakwa njũkĩrĩre bũrũri wa Misiri na ndute andũ a Isiraeli moime kuo.”
6 And Moses and Aaron did so: as the Lord gave them orders, so they did.
Musa na Harũni magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aamaathĩte meke.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they gave the Lord's word to Pharaoh.
Musa aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana nake Harũni mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana na ĩtatũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maaragia na Firaũni.
8 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
9 If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.
“Rĩrĩa Firaũni arĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ringai kĩama,’ nawe Musa wĩre Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Oya rũthanju rwaku, ũrũikie thĩ o hau mbere ya Firaũni,’ naruo rũtuĩke nyoka.”
10 Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Harũni magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni, nao magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa maathĩtwo nĩ Jehova. Harũni agĩikia rũthanju rwake thĩ mbere ya Firaũni na anene ake, naruo rũgĩtuĩka nyoka.
11 Then Pharaoh sent for the wise men and the wonder-workers, and they, the wonder-workers of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.
Nake Firaũni agĩĩta andũ arĩa oogĩ o na ago, na aringi ciama a Misiri, nao magĩĩka o ũguo magĩtũmĩra maũgĩ mao ma ũgo.
12 For every one of them put down his rod on the earth, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod made a meal of their rods.
O mũndũ agĩikia rũthanju rwake thĩ na rũgĩtuĩka nyoka. No rũthanju rwa Harũni rũkĩmeria thanju ciao.
13 But Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
No rĩrĩ, ngoro ya Firaũni ĩkĩũma nake akĩrega kũmaigua, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
14 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh's heart is unchanged; he will not let the people go.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ngoro ya Firaũni ndĩngĩororoa; nĩaregete kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning; when he goes out to the water, you will be waiting for him by the edge of the Nile, with the rod which was turned into a snake in your hand;
Nĩũgathiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni rũciinĩ agĩthiĩ rũũĩ. Weterere mũcemanie nake hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Nili, na ũthiĩ na rũthanju rũrĩa rwagarũrũkĩte rũgatuĩka nyoka.
16 And say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go so that they may give me worship in the waste land; but up to now you have not given ear to his words.
Ũcooke ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova, o we Ngai wa Ahibirania, nĩandũmĩte ngwĩre ũũ: Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ nĩgeetha makandungatĩre marĩ werũ-inĩ. No nginya rĩu nĩũregete gũthikĩrĩria.
17 So the Lord says, By this you may be certain that I am the Lord; see, by the touch of this rod in my hand the waters of the Nile will be turned to blood;
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũgũtũma ũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova: Ngũgũtha maaĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Nili na rũthanju rũrũ rũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa, namo magarũrũke matuĩke thakame.
18 And the fish in the Nile will come to destruction, and the river will send up a bad smell, and the Egyptians will not be able, for disgust, to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking.
Thamaki iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩigũkua, naruo rũũĩ rũnunge; andũ a Misiri maremwo nĩ kũnyua maaĩ maruo.’”
19 And the Lord said, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the waters of Egypt, and over the rivers and the streams and the pools, and over every stretch of water, so that they may be turned to blood; and there will be blood through all the land of Egypt, in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Oya rũthanju rwaku na ũtambũrũkie guoko igũrũ rĩa maaĩ ma bũrũri wa Misiri, na igũrũ rĩa tũrũũĩ, na mĩtaro, na tũmaria o na kũrĩa guothe kũhingĩrĩrie maaĩ nakuo guothe gũtuĩke thakame. Thakame ĩkaiyũra kũndũ guothe bũrũri wa Misiri, o na kũu ndoo-inĩ cia mĩtĩ na mĩtũngi-inĩ ya mahiga.’”
20 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had said; and when his rod had been lifted up and stretched out over the waters of the Nile before the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, all the water in the Nile was turned to blood;
Musa na Harũni magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte. Agĩkĩambararia rũthanju rwake arĩ mbere ya Firaũni na anene ake, nake akĩgũtha maaĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Nili, namo maaĩ mothe makĩgarũrũka magĩtuĩka thakame.
21 And the fish in the Nile came to destruction, and a bad smell went up from the river, and the Egyptians were not able to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking; and there was blood through all the land of Egypt.
Thamaki iria ciarĩ Rũũĩ rwa Nili igĩkua, naruo rũũĩ rũkĩnunga ũũru mũno, nginya andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri makĩremwo nĩ kũnyua maaĩ maruo. Bũrũri wa Misiri wothe ũkĩiyũra thakame.
22 And the wonder-workers of Egypt did the same with their secret arts: but Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
No aringi ciama a bũrũri wa Misiri magĩĩka maũndũ o ta macio na ũndũ wa maũgĩ mao ma ũgo, nayo ngoro ya Firaũni ĩkĩũma; akĩrega kũigua Musa na Harũni, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
23 Then Pharaoh went into his house, and did not take even this to heart.
Handũ ha kũigua-rĩ, akĩhũndũka agĩthiĩ nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, na ndaigana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ yake.
24 And all the Egyptians made holes round about the Nile to get drinking-water, for they were not able to make use of the Nile water.
Nao andũ othe a Misiri makĩenja ithima gũkuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩguo mone maaĩ ma kũnyua, tondũ matingĩahotire kũnyua maaĩ ma rũũĩ rũu.
25 And seven days went past, after the Lord had put his hand on the Nile.
Mĩthenya mũgwanja nĩyahĩtũkire thuutha wa Jehova kũgũtha maaĩ ma Nili.
