Exodus 7
1 And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I have appointed thee the God of Pharao: 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 to him all that I command thee; and he shall speak to Pharao, 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 But I shall harden his heart, and shall multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
Kasi Ngai, nakokomisa motema ya Faraon makasi lokola libanga, nakosala bilembo mpe bikamwa ebele na Ejipito.
4 And he will not hear you: and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and will bring forth my army and my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by very 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 the Lord, who have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought forth the children of Israel out of the midst of 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 the Lord had commanded: so did they.
Moyize mpe Aron basalaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki bango.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharao.
Tango basololaki na Faraon, Moyize azalaki na mibu ya mbotama tuku mwambe; mpe Aron, tuku mwambe na misato.
8 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
9 When Pharao shall say to you, Shew signs: thou shalt say to Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharao, and it shall be turned into 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 So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharao, and did as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the rod before Pharao, and his servants, and it was turned into 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 Pharao called the wise men and the magicians: and they also by Egyptian enchantments and certain secrets did in like manner.
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 And they every one cast down their rods, and they were turned into serpents: but Aaron’s rod devoured their rods.
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 Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as the Lord had commanded.
Atako bongo, motema ya Faraon ekomaki lisusu makasi; mpe aboyaki koyokela bango, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
14 And the Lord said to Moses: Pharao’s heart is hardened, he will not let the people go.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Motema ya Faraon ezali kaka makasi, aboyi kaka kotika bato na Ngai kokende.
15 Go to him in the morning, behold he will go out to the waters: and thou shalt stand to meet him on the bank of the river: and thou shalt take in thy hand the rod 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 thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to thee saying: Let my people go to sacrifice to me in the desert: and hitherto thou wouldst not hear.
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 therefore saith the Lord: In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold I will strike with the rods that is in my hand, the water of 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 fishes that are in the river shall die, and the waters shall be corrupted, and the Egyptians shall be afflicted when they drink the water 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 The Lord also said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch forth thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, and upon their rivers, and streams and pools, and all the ponds of waters, that they may be turned into blood: and let blood be in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and 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 as the Lord had commanded: and lifting up the rod he struck the water of the river before Pharao and his servants: and it was 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 fishes that were in the river died: and the river corrupted, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river, and there was blood in all 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 magicians of the Egyptians with their enchantments did in like manner: and Pharao’s heart was hardened, neither did he hear them, as the Lord had commanded.
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 he turned himself away and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to it this time also.
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 fully ended, after that the Lord struck the river.
Mikolo sambo elekaki sima na Yawe kobebisa mayi ya Nili.
