< Exodus 7 >

1 The Lord told Moses, “Look, I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Duba, na maishe ka kamar Allah ga Fir’auna, ɗan’uwanka Haruna kuma zai zama annabinka.
2 You are to repeat everything that I tell you to say, and your brother Aaron must repeat it to Pharaoh so that he will let the Israelites leave his country.
Za ka faɗi kome da na umarce ka, ɗan’uwanka Haruna kuwa zai faɗa wa Fir’auna, yă bar Isra’ilawa su fita daga ƙasarsa.
3 But I will give Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and though I will perform many signs and wonders in Egypt, he won't listen to you.
Amma zan taurare zuciyar Fir’auna, kuma ko da na ninka mu’ujizai da kuma alamu a Masar,
4 Then I will attack Egypt, imposing heavy punishments on them, and I will lead out by their tribes my people the Israelites.
ba zai saurare ku ba. Don haka zan miƙa hannuna a kan Masar, in murƙushe ta da bala’i iri-iri, bayan haka zan fitar da taron mutanen Isra’ila daga ƙasar Masar ta wurin hukuntaina masu girma.
5 In this way the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord—when I take action against Egypt and lead the Israelites out of the country.”
Masarawa kuwa za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji sa’ad da na miƙa hannuna a kan Masar, na kuma fitar da Isra’ilawa daga gare ta.”
6 Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered.
Musa da Haruna suka aikata yadda Ubangiji ya umarce su.
7 Moses was eighty and Aaron was eighty-three when they went and spoke to Pharaoh.
Musa yana da shekara tamanin da haihuwa, Haruna kuma yana da shekara tamanin da uku, sa’ad da suka yi magana da Fir’auna.
8 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa da Haruna,
9 “When Pharaoh asks you, ‘Why don't you perform a miracle, then?’ tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick and throw it down in front of Pharaoh,’ and it will turn into a snake.”
“Sa’ad da Fir’auna ya ce muku, ‘Aikata wani al’ajabi,’ sai ka ce wa Haruna, ‘Ɗauki sandanka ka jefa shi a ƙasa, a gaban Fir’auna,’ zai kuwa zama maciji.”
10 Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had ordered. Aaron threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it turned into a snake.
Sai Musa da Haruna suka tafi wurin Fir’auna, suka yi yadda Ubangiji ya umarce su. Haruna ya jefa sandansa ƙasa, a gaban Fir’auna da bayinsa, sai sandan ya zama maciji.
11 But Pharaoh called in wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts.
Fir’auna kuwa ya kira masu hikima da masu sihiri, sai bokayen Masarawa ma suka yi irin abubuwan nan da bokancinsu.
12 Each of them threw down their walking sticks and they also turned into snakes, but Aaron's walking stick swallowed up all their walking sticks.
Kowannensu ya jefa sandansa ƙasa, ya kuwa zama maciji. Amma sandan Haruna ya haɗiye sandunansu.
13 But Pharaoh had a hard, stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't listen to them, as the Lord had predicted.
Duk da haka zuciyar Fir’auna ta taurare, bai kuwa saurare su ba, kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya riga ya faɗa.
14 The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh has a stubborn attitude—he's refusing to let the people go.
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Zuciyar Fir’auna taurariya ce, ya ƙi yă bar mutanen su tafi.
15 So tomorrow morning go to Pharaoh as he walks down to the river. Wait to meet him on the bank of the Nile. Take with you the walking stick that turned into a snake.
Ka je wurin Fir’auna da safe, yayinda za shi kogi. Ka jira a bakin Nilu don ka sadu da shi, ka ɗauki sandan nan da ya canja zuwa maciji a hannunka.
16 Tell him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you, ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me in the desert. But you have not listened up until now.
Sa’an nan ka ce masa, ‘Ubangiji, Allah na Ibraniyawa, ya aiko ni in faɗa maka, Ka bar mutanena su tafi domin su yi mini sujada a hamada. Amma har yanzu ba ka yi biyayya ba.
17 This is what the Lord is now telling you: This is how you will know that I am the Lord.’” “Watch! Using the walking stick I'm holding, I'm going to hit the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, da wannan za ka san cewa ni ne Ubangiji. Da sandan da yake hannuna zan bugi ruwan Nilu, zai kuma zama jini.
18 The fish in the Nile will die, the river will smell, and the Egyptians won't be able to drink any of its water.”
Kifi a ciki Nilu za su mutu, ruwan kuma zai yi ɗoyi; Masarawa ba za su iya shan ruwansa ba.’”
19 The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick in your hand and hold it out over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers and canals and ponds and pools, so that they will turn to blood. There will be blood through all of Egypt, even in containers made of wood and stone.’”
Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Ka ce wa Haruna, ‘Ka ɗauki sandanka, ka miƙa hannunka kan ruwan Masar, kan kogunansu da rafuffukansu da kududdufansu da kuma dukan tafkunansu, za su zama jini.’ Jini zai kasance ko’ina a Masar, har ma a cikin abubuwan ajiyar ruwansu da aka yi da itace da kuma dutse.”
20 Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered. While Pharaoh and all his officials watched, Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the water of the Nile. Immediately the whole river turned to blood!
Musa da Haruna suka yi yadda Ubangiji ya umarta. Ya ɗaga sandansa a gaban Fir’auna da bayinsa, ya bugi ruwan Nilu, dukan ruwan kuwa ya zama jini.
21 The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so awful that the Egyptians could not drink its water. There was blood through all of Egypt!
Kifin da suke cikin Nilu suka mutu, kogin kuwa ya yi wari sosai yadda Masarawa ba su iya shan ruwan ba. Jini ya bazu ko’ina a Masar.
22 But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. Pharaoh maintained his stubborn attitude and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
Amma bokayen Masar ma suka yi abubuwan nan da sihirinsu, sai zuciyar Fir’auna ta taurare; bai saurari Musa da Haruna ba, kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya riga ya faɗa.
23 Pharaoh went back to his palace and didn't pay any attention to what had happened.
A maimakon yă saurara, sai ya juya ya koma fadarsa, bai ma damu da abin da aka yi ba.
24 All the Egyptians dug alongside the Nile because they couldn't drink its water.
Sai dukan Masarawa suka yi ta tonon gefen Nilu don su sami ruwan sha, domin ba su iya shan ruwan kogin ba.
25 Seven days went by after the Lord hit the Nile.
Kwana bakwai suka wuce bayan da Ubangiji ya bugi kogin.
