Exodus 7
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, I have made you a god to Pharao, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Laba, nkufudde nga Katonda awali Falaawo, ne muganda wo Alooni y’ajja okubeera nnabbi wo.
2 And you shall say to him all things that I charge you, and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharao, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of his land.
Ojjanga kwogera bye nkulagira, ne muganda wo Alooni ayogere ne Falaawo asobole okuleka abaana ba Isirayiri bave mu nsi ye.
3 And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.
Naye ndikakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo; ne bwe ndikolera ebyamagero ebingi ennyo mu nsi y’e Misiri,
4 And Pharao will not listen 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.
tagenda kubawuliriza. Ndirumba Misiri n’amaanyi, ne ngisalira omusango, ne ndyoka nzigyayo abantu bange Abayisirayiri bonna.
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.
Era Abamisiri balitegeera nti Nze Mukama, bwe ndirumba Misiri n’amaanyi ne nzigyayo Abayisirayiri.”
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron his brother was eighty-three years old, when he spoke to Pharao.
We baayogerera ne Falaawo, Musa yali aweza emyaka kinaana egy’obukulu, ne Alooni ng’aweza emyaka kinaana mu esatu.
8 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Mukama n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
9 Now if Pharao should speak to you, saying, Give us a sign or a wonder, then shall you say to your brother Aaron, Take your rod and cast it upon the ground before Pharao, and before his servants, and it shall become a serpent.
“Falaawo bw’anaabagamba nti, ‘Mukoleeyo ekyamagero,’ nga ggwe ogamba Alooni nti, ‘Ddira omuggo gwo ogusuule wansi awali Falaawo,’ era gunaafuuka omusota.”
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.
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bagenda ewa Falaawo, ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira. Alooni n’asuula omuggo gwe wansi awali Falaawo n’abaweereza be, ne gufuuka omusota.
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.
Falaawo naye n’atumya basajja be abagezigezi, n’abalogo; abakujjukujju abo Abamisiri ne bakola ekintu kye kimu mu magezi gaabwe ag’ekyama.
12 And they cast down each his rod, and they became serpents, but the rod of Aaron swallowed up their rods.
Kubanga nabo baasuula wansi emiggo gyabwe, ne gifuuka emisota; naye omuggo gwa Alooni ne gumira emiggo gyabwe.
13 and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord charged them.
Naye era omutima gwa Falaawo ne gukakanyala, nga Mukama bwe yali agambye.
14 and the Lord said to Moses, The heart of Pharao is made hard, so that he should not let the people go.
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Omutima gwa Falaawo gukakanyadde, era agaanye okuleka abantu okugenda.
15 Go to Pharao early in the morning: behold, he goes forth to the water; and you shall meet him on the bank of the river, and you shall take in your hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
Mu makya genda eri Falaawo ng’afuluma okulaga ku mazzi, omulindirire ku lubalama lw’omugga Kiyira. Era twala n’omuggo ogwafuuka omusota.
16 And you shall say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Send my people away, that they may serve me in the wilderness, and, behold, hitherto you have not listened.
Olyoke omugambe nti, ‘Mukama Katonda wa Abaebbulaniya yantuma gy’oli ng’agamba nti, Leka abantu bange bajje mu ddungu bansinze; naye, laba, n’okutuusa leero okyagaanyi okuŋŋondera.’
17 These things says the Lord: Hereby shall you 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.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Ku kino kw’olitegeerera nga nze Mukama: laba ndikuba ku mazzi agali mu mugga, n’omuggo oguli mu mukono gwange, era galifuuka musaayi,
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.
n’ebyennyanja ebiri mu mugga birifa, n’omugga guliwunya; era n’Abamisiri nga tebakyayagala kunywa ku mazzi gaagwo.’”
19 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to your brother Aaron, Take your rod in your hand, and stretch forth your 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.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Tegeeza Alooni nti, ‘Twala omuggo gwo ogwolekeze amazzi gonna mu Misiri: ku migga gyabwe, n’emikutu gyabwe, n’obuyanja bwabwe, n’ebidiba byabwe, byonna bifuuke musaayi. Era wagenda kubeerawo omusaayi mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri: mu ntiba ez’emiti ne mu matogero ag’amayinja.’”
20 and Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded them; and [Aaron] having lifted up [his hand] with his rod, struck the water in the river before Pharao, and before his servants, and changed all the water in the river into blood.
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira. Alooni n’addira omuggo gwe n’akuba ku mazzi ag’omu mugga, nga Falaawo n’abaweereza be balaba; amazzi gonna ag’omu mugga ne gafuuka omusaayi.
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.
Era n’ebyennyanja byonna mu mugga Kiyira ne bifa. Omugga ne guwunya, Abamisiri nga tebakyasobola kunywa mazzi ga mu mugga Kiyira; omusaayi ne gubuna wonna mu nsi y’e Misiri.
22 And the charmers also of the Egyptians did so with their sorceries; and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not listen to them, even as the Lord said.
Abalogo ab’omu Misiri nabo ne bakola bwe batyo mu magezi gaabwe ag’ekyama. Omutima gwa Falaawo ne gweyongera okukakanyala, ebya Musa ne Alooni n’atabiwuliriza era nga Mukama bwe yali agambye;
23 And Pharao turned and entered into his house, nor did he fix his attention even on this thing.
n’akyuka ne yeddirayo mu lubiri lwe, nga byonna ebibaddewo tabissizzaako mwoyo.
24 And all the Egyptians dug round about the river, so as to drink water, for they could not drink water from the river.
Abamisiri bonna ne basimaasima okumpi n’omugga nga banoonya amazzi ag’okunywa, kubanga amazzi g’omu mugga nga tegakyanyweka.
25 and seven days were fulfilled after the Lord has struck the river.
Awo ne wayitawo ennaku musanvu okuva ku lunaku Mukama lwe yakubirako omugga.
