< 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.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Wò ó, Èmi ti ṣe ọ bí Ọlọ́run fún Farao, Aaroni arákùnrin rẹ ni yóò jẹ́ agbẹnusọ rẹ.
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.
Ìwọ yóò sì sọ ohun gbogbo tí Èmi ti pàṣẹ fún ọ, Aaroni arákùnrin rẹ yóò sísọ fún Farao kí ó jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò sé Farao lọ́kàn le. Bí Mo tilẹ̀ ṣe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iṣẹ́ àmì àti ìyanu ni Ejibiti,
4 Then I will attack Egypt, imposing heavy punishments on them, and I will lead out by their tribes my people the Israelites.
síbẹ̀ òun kì yóò fi etí sí ọ. Nígbà náà ni Èmi yóò gbé ọwọ́ mi lé Ejibiti, pẹ̀lú agbára ìdájọ́ ńlá mi ni èmi yóò mú àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli jáde ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́.
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.”
Àwọn ará Ejibiti yóò sì mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa ní ìgbà tí mo bá na ọwọ́ mi jáde lé Ejibiti, tí mo sì mú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde kúrò níbẹ̀.”
6 Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered.
Mose àti Aaroni sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún wọn.
7 Moses was eighty and Aaron was eighty-three when they went and spoke to Pharaoh.
Mose jẹ́ ọmọ ọgọ́rin ọdún Aaroni sì jẹ́ ọmọ ọdún mẹ́tàlélọ́gọ́rin ni ìgbà tí wọ́n bá Farao sọ̀rọ̀.
8 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni,
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.”
“Ní ìgbà tí Farao bá sọ fún un yín pé, ‘Ẹ ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu kan,’ sọ fún Aaroni ní ìgbà náà pé, ‘Mú ọ̀pá rẹ kí ó sì sọ ọ́ sílẹ̀ níwájú Farao,’ yóò sì di ejò.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Mose àti Aaroni tọ Farao lọ, wọ́n sì ṣe bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún wọn, Aaroni ju ọ̀pá rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní iwájú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, ọ̀pá náà sì di ejò.
11 But Pharaoh called in wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts.
Farao sì pe àwọn amòye, àwọn oṣó àti àwọn onídán ilẹ̀ Ejibiti jọ, wọ́n sì fi idán wọn ṣe ohun tí Mose àti Aaroni ṣe.
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.
Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn sọ ọ̀pá rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ọ̀pá náà sì di ejò. Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀pá Aaroni gbé ọ̀pá tiwọn mì.
13 But Pharaoh had a hard, stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't listen to them, as the Lord had predicted.
Síbẹ̀ ọkàn Farao sì yigbì, kò si fetí sí wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ.
14 The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh has a stubborn attitude—he's refusing to let the people go.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Ọkàn Farao ti di líle, ó kọ̀ láti jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn náà ó lọ.
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.
Tọ Farao lọ ni òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù bí ó ti ń lọ sí etí odò, dúró ni etí bèbè odò Naili láti pàdé rẹ, mú ọ̀pá rẹ tí ó di ejò ni ọwọ́ rẹ.
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.
Sọ fún un pé, ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn Heberu rán mi sí ọ láti sọ fún ọ pé, Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn mi kí ó lọ, kí wọn kí ó lè sìn mi ni aginjù. Ṣùgbọ́n títí di àkókò yìí, ìwọ kò gba.
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.
Èyí ni Olúwa wí, nípa èyí ni ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa. Wò ó, èmi yóò fi ọ̀pá ti ó wà ní ọwọ́ mi, èmi yóò ná omi tí ó wà nínú odò Naili yóò sì di ẹ̀jẹ̀.
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.”
Àwọn ẹja tí ó wà nínú odò Naili yóò kú, odò náà yóò sì máa rùn, àwọn ará Ejibiti kò sì ni lè mu omi rẹ̀.’”
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.’”
Olúwa sọ fún Mose, “Sọ fún Aaroni, ‘Mú ọ̀pá rẹ kí ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ jáde lórí àwọn omi Ejibiti. Lórí àwọn odò kéékèèké àti odò ńlá, lórí àbàtà àti adágún omi, wọn yóò sì di ẹ̀jẹ̀.’ Ẹ̀jẹ̀ yóò wà ni ibi gbogbo ni Ejibiti, àní nínú ọpọ́n àti nínú kete omi àti nínú ìkòkò tí a pọn omi sí nínú ilé.”
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!
Mose àti Aaroni sí ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún wọn. Ó gbé ọ̀pá rẹ̀ sókè ni iwájú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, ó sì lu omi odò Naili, omi odò náà sì yípadà sí ẹ̀jẹ̀.
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!
Ẹja inú odò Naili sì kú, odò náà ń rùn gidigidi tí ó fi jẹ́ pé àwọn ará Ejibiti kò le è mu omi inú rẹ̀. Ẹ̀jẹ̀ sì wà ni ibi gbogbo ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn apidán ilẹ̀ Ejibiti sì ṣe bákan náà pẹ̀lú agbára òkùnkùn wọn, ọkàn Farao sì yigbì síbẹ̀ kò sì fetí sí wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ.
23 Pharaoh went back to his palace and didn't pay any attention to what had happened.
Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, ó yíjú padà, ó sì lọ sí ààfin rẹ̀, kò sì jẹ́ kí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí wà ni oókan àyà rẹ̀.
24 All the Egyptians dug alongside the Nile because they couldn't drink its water.
Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn ará Ejibiti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í gbẹ́ etí odò Naili láti wá omi tí wọn yóò mu, nítorí wọn kò le è mu omi tí ó wà nínú odò náà.
25 Seven days went by after the Lord hit the Nile.
Ọjọ́ méje sì kọjá ti Olúwa ti lu odò Naili.
