< Exodus 7 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, I have made thee a god to Pharao, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “We ngũtuĩte ta Ngai harĩ Firaũni, nake mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni egũtuĩka mũnabii waku.
2 And thou shalt say to him all things that I charge thee, and Aaron thy brother shall speak to Pharao, that he should send forth the children of Israel 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 harden the heart of Pharao, and I will multiply my signs and wonders 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 And Pharao will not hearken to you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt; and will bring out my people the children of Israel with my power out of the land of Egypt with great vengeance.
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 all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, stretching out my hand upon Egypt, and I will bring out the children of Israel out of the midst of 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 as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
Musa na Harũni magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aamaathĩte meke.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron his brother was eighty-three years old, when he spoke to Pharao.
Musa aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana nake Harũni mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana na ĩtatũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maaragia na Firaũni.
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
9 Now if Pharao should speak to you, saying, Give us a sign or a wonder, then shalt thou say to thy brother Aaron, Take thy rod and cast it upon the ground before Pharao, and before his servants, and it shall become a serpent.
“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 And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and [before] his servants, and they did so, as the Lord commanded them; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharao, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
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 But Pharao called together the wise men of Egypt, and the sorcerers, and the charmers also of the Egyptians did likewise with their sorceries.
Nake Firaũni agĩĩta andũ arĩa oogĩ o na ago, na aringi ciama a Misiri, nao magĩĩka o ũguo magĩtũmĩra maũgĩ mao ma ũgo.
12 And they cast down each his rod, and they became serpents, but the rod of Aaron swallowed up their rods.
O mũndũ agĩikia rũthanju rwake thĩ na rũgĩtuĩka nyoka. No rũthanju rwa Harũni rũkĩmeria thanju ciao.
13 and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he hearkened not to them, as the Lord charged them.
No rĩrĩ, ngoro ya Firaũni ĩkĩũma nake akĩrega kũmaigua, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
14 and the Lord said to Moses, The heart of Pharao is made hard, so that he should not let the people go.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ngoro ya Firaũni ndĩngĩororoa; nĩaregete kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ.
15 Go to Pharao early in the morning: behold, he goes forth to the water; and thou shalt meet him on the bank of the river, and thou shalt take in thine hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
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 thou shalt say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Send my people away, that they may serve me in the wilderness, and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
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 These things saith the Lord: Hereby shalt thou know that I am the Lord: behold, I strike with the rod that is in my hand on the water which is in the river, and it shall change it into 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 that are in the river shall die, and the river shall stink thereupon, and the Egyptians shall not be able to drink water from the river.
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 to Moses, Say to thy brother Aaron, Take thy rod in thy hand, and stretch forth thy hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers, and over their canals, and over their ponds, and over all their standing water, and it shall become blood: and there was blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and 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 so, as the Lord commanded them; and [Aaron] having lifted up [his hand] with his rod, smote the water in the river before Pharao, and before his servants, and changed all the water in the river into 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 river died, and the river stank thereupon; and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river, and the blood was in 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 charmers also of the Egyptians did so with their sorceries; and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, even as the Lord 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 And Pharao turned and entered into his house, nor did he fix his attention even on this thing.
Handũ ha kũigua-rĩ, akĩhũndũka agĩthiĩ nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, na ndaigana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ yake.
24 And all the Egyptians dug round about the river, so as to drink water, for they could not drink water from the river.
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 were fulfilled after the Lord has smitten the river.
Mĩthenya mũgwanja nĩyahĩtũkire thuutha wa Jehova kũgũtha maaĩ ma Nili.
