Exodus 7
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Tala, nakomisi yo nzambe liboso ya Faraon, mpe Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, akozala mosakoli na yo.
2 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.
Okoloba makambo nyonso oyo natindi yo; mpe Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, akoyebisa yango epai ya Faraon mpo ete Faraon abimisa bana ya Isalaele na mokili na ye.
3 And I will render Pharaoh's heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Kasi Ngai, nakokomisa motema ya Faraon makasi lokola libanga, nakosala bilembo mpe bikamwa ebele na Ejipito.
4 And 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.
Atako bongo, Faraon akoyokela bino te. Boye, nakosembola loboko na Ngai kati na Ejipito; mpe na nzela ya bitumbu minene, nakobimisa wuta na Ejipito mampinga na Ngai, bato na Ngai, bana ya Isalaele.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
Bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete nazali Yawe tango nakosembola loboko na Ngai kati na mokili na bango mpe nakobimisa bana ya Isalaele wuta na Ejipito. »
6 And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they.
Moyize mpe Aron basalaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki bango.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Tango basololaki na Faraon, Moyize azalaki na mibu ya mbotama tuku mwambe; mpe Aron, tuku mwambe na misato.
8 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
9 When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Do a miracle for yourselves, — then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast [it] before Pharaoh — it will become a serpent.
« Tango Faraon akoloba na bino: ‹ Bosala bikamwa, › yo Moyize, okoloba na Aron: ‹ Kamata lingenda na yo, bwaka yango liboso ya Faraon, › mpe lingenda ekobongwana nyoka. »
10 And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his bondmen, and it became a serpent.
Boye Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki epai ya Faraon mpe basalaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki bango. Aron abwakaki lingenda na ye liboso ya Faraon mpe bakalaka na ye, mpe yango ebongwanaki nyoka.
11 And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments:
Faraon abengisaki bato ya bwanya mpe bato ya soloka. Bongo bato ya maji ya Ejipito, bango mpe basalaki bikamwa ya ndenge moko na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka.
12 they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
Moko na moko kati na bango abwakaki lingenda na ye na mabele mpe ebongwanaki nyoka. Kasi lingenda ya Aron emelaki mangenda na bango.
13 And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
Atako bongo, motema ya Faraon ekomaki lisusu makasi; mpe aboyaki koyokela bango, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
14 And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened: he refuseth to let the people go.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Motema ya Faraon ezali kaka makasi, aboyi kaka kotika bato na Ngai kokende.
15 Go unto Pharaoh in the morning — behold, he will go out unto the water — and take thy stand by the bank of the river in front of him; and take in thy hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.
Kende epai ya Faraon na tongo-tongo, na tango oyo abimaka mpo na kokende na mayi. Zela ye pembeni ya Nili mpo na kokutana na ye mpe simba na loboko na yo lingenda oyo ebongwanaki nyoka.
16 And say unto 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; but behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
Bongo okoloba na ye: ‹ Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, atindi ngai epai na yo mpo na koyebisa yo: ‘Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai na esobe. Kasi kino lelo, ozali kaka koyoka te.
17 Thus saith Jehovah: In this shalt thou know that I am Jehovah — behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water which is in the river, and it shall be turned into blood.
Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Tala ndenge nini okoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe: Nakobeta na mayi ya Nili lingenda oyo nazali na yango na maboko, mpe mayi yango ekobongwana makila.
18 And the fish that is in the river shall die; and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water out of the river.
Mbisi ya Nili ekokufa mpe mayi ya Nili ekokoma solo ya kopola, bongo bato ya Ejipito bakokoka lisusu komela yango te.’ › »
19 And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of the Egyptians — upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood and in [vessels of] stone.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Yebisa Aron: ‹ Kamata lingenda na yo mpe sembola yango na ngambo ya mayi nyonso ya Ejipito: etima mpe miluka, maziba mpe mabulu nyonso ya mayi ekobongwana makila. › Makila ekozala na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito kino na bimelelo ya mayi oyo esalema na nzete to na mabanga. »
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his bondmen; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood.
Moyize mpe Aron basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki bango. Aron atombolaki nzete na ye mpe abetaki lingenda oyo azalaki na yango, na mayi ya Nili na miso ya Faraon mpe ya basali na ye; mpe mayi nyonso ebongwanaki makila.
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and the blood was throughout the land of Egypt.
Mbisi ya Nili ekufaki mpe mayi elumbaki solo ya kopola na ndenge ete bato ya Ejipito bakokaki lisusu te komela yango. Makila ezalaki na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito.
22 And the scribes of Egypt did so with their sorceries; and Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, neither did he hearken to them, as Jehovah had said.
Kasi bato ya maji ya Ejipito, bango mpe basalaki bikamwa ya ndenge moko na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka. Motema ya Faraon ekomaki lisusu makasi mpe aboyaki koyokela Moyize mpe Aron ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and took not this to heart either.
Atako bongo, Faraon abalukaki, akotaki na ndako na ye mpe azwaki likambo yango na motema te.
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.
Bato nyonso ya Ejipito batimolaki mabulu pene ya Nili mpo na kozwa mayi ya komela, pamba te bakokaki lisusu te komela mayi ya ebale.
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river.
Mikolo sambo elekaki sima na Yawe kobebisa mayi ya Nili.
