Exodus 7
1 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'See, I have set thee in God's stead to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Emeela m gị ka ị dịrị ka Chineke nʼebe Fero nọ. Nwanne gị Erọn ga-abụkwa onye amụma gị.
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.
Ị ga-agwa Erọn ihe niile m gwara gị. Ọ ga-ekwukwa ha nʼihu Fero, rịọọ ya ka o kwere ka ụmụ Izrel hapụ ala Ijipt.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
Ma aga m eme ka obi Fero sie ike. Ọ bụ ezie na m ga-eme ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama nʼihe ebube nʼala Ijipt,
4 But 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.
ma Fero agaghị ege unu ntị. Mgbe ahụ aga m eme ka aka m bịakwasị Ijipt. Aga m esite nʼoke ọrụ nke ikpe ọmụma dị oke egwu, mee ka ndị m, Izrel, dịka usuu ha niile si dị, site nʼala Ijipt pụọ.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.'
Ndị Ijipt ga-amata nʼezie na m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m setịpụrụ aka nʼIjipt, ma site nʼetiti ha kpọpụta ụmụ Izrel.”
6 And Moses and Aaron did so; as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
Mosis na Erọn mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha iwu.
7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
Nʼoge a, mgbe ha gwara Fero okwu, Mosis agbaala iri afọ asatọ. Ma Erọn agbaala iri afọ asatọ na atọ.
8 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn sị,
9 'When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying: Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'
“Mgbe Fero ga-agwa unu okwu sị, ‘Meenụ ihe ebube.’ Ị ga-agwa Erọn okwu sị ya, ‘Were mkpanaka gị tụpụ ya nʼala nʼihu Fero.’ Ọ ga-aghọ agwọ.”
10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn jekwuuru Fero mee dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu. Erọn tụpụrụ mkpanaka ya nʼala nʼihu Fero na ndị ozi ya. Ọ ghọrọ agwọ.
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts.
Ma Fero kpọkọtara ndị maara ihe, na ndị mgbaasị, na ndị majiki nọ nʼIjipt. Ha bịara mee ụdị ihe ịrịbama ahụ Mosis na Erọn mere site nʼihe nzuzo nke akaọrụ ha.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents; but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
Onye ọbụla nʼime ha tụpụrụ mkpanaka ya, nke ghọkwara agwọ. Ma mkpanaka ahụ Erọn tụpụrụ, nke ghọrọ agwọ, loro mkpanaka ndị ahụ niile ndị Ijipt tụpụrụ.
13 And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
Fero nyịchiri obi ya, mee ka o sie ike. O geghị Erọn na Mosis ntị dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Pharaoh's heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Obi Fero siri ike. Ọ bụ nke a mere o ji na-aga nʼihu na-ajụ ka ndị m laa.
15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.
Ma otu ọ dị; nʼisi ụtụtụ echi, jekwuru Fero tupu ọ gaa nʼosimiri. Guzoro nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl, jidekwa mkpanaka ahụ ghọrọ agwọ nʼaka gị.
16 And thou shalt say unto him: The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying: Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness; and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened;
Ị ga-agwa Fero sị, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ndị Hibru, ezitela m ka m gwa gị sị, hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa nʼọzara fee m ofufe. Tutu ruo ugbu a, ị jụrụ ige ntị.’
17 thus saith the LORD: In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD — behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
Ugbu a Onyenwe anyị kwuru nke a sị, ‘Ị ga-amata site na nke a na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. Aga m ewere mkpanaka a nke m ji nʼaka tie nʼosimiri Naịl. Ọ ga-agbanwe ghọọ ọbara.
18 And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.'
Azụ niile dị nʼime ya ga-anwụ. Osimiri ahụ ga-esikwa isi dịka ihe rere ure. Nke a ga-eme ka ọ bụrụ ihe rara ahụ nye ndị Ijipt ịṅụ mmiri site na ya.’”
19 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Gwa Erọn ka o setịpụ mkpanaka ya nʼelu mmiri niile dị nʼIjipt. Nke a metụtara osimiri ha niile, mmiri ntakịrị ha niile, ọdọ mmiri ha niile, na ebe niile ha na-echekọta mmiri. Ọbara ga-ejupụta ebe niile nʼIjipt, ite mmiri na ite aja na ite osisi niile.”
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
Mosis na Erọn mere dị ka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu ime. Nʼihu Fero na ndịisi ọrụ ya, Erọn weliri mkpanaka ya tie ya nʼelu mmiri dị nʼosimiri Naịl. Nʼotu ntabi anya, mmiri ahụ gbanwere ghọọ ọbara.
21 And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ka azụ dị nʼime mmiri Naịl nwụsịrị, mmiri ahụ malitere na-esi isi ọjọọ, nke mere ka ndị Ijipt hapụ inwe ike ịṅụ mmiri sitere na ya. Ọbara jupụtakwara nʼala Ijipt niile.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
Ma ndị majiki Ijipt jikwa ihe nzuzo ha mee ka mmiri chaa ọbara ọbara. Nke a mere ka Fero nyịchie obi ya. Ọ ṅaghị Mosis na Erọn ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara ha na ọ ga-eme.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
Fero tụgharịrị laghachi nʼụlọeze ya, na-echeghị echiche banyere ihe niile ahụ e mere.
24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
Ya mere, ndị Ijipt niile gwuru olulu mmiri nʼakụkụ osimiri ahụ ịchọ mmiri ọṅụṅụ ebe ha na-enweghị ike ịṅụ mmiri sitere nʼosimiri Naịl.
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
Ụbọchị asaa gasịrị, site nʼụbọchị Onyenwe anyị tichara ihe otiti ahụ na Naịl.
