Exodus 7
1 And YHWH says to Moses, “See, I have given you [as] a god to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron is your prophet;
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce constitui te Deum Pharaonis: et Aaron frater tuus erit propheta tuus.
2 you speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron speaks to Pharaoh, and he has sent the sons of Israel out of his land.
Tu loqueris ei omnia quæ mando tibi: et ille loquetur ad Pharaonem, ut dimittat filios Israel de terra sua.
3 And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,
Sed ego indurabo cor eius, et multiplicabo signa et ostenta mea in Terra Ægypti,
4 and Pharaoh does not listen, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;
et non audiet vos: immittamque manum meam super Ægyptum, et educam exercitum et populum meum filios Israel de Terra Ægypti per iudicia maxima.
5 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.”
Et scient Ægyptii quia ego sum Dominus qui extenderim manum meam super Ægyptum, et eduxerim filios Israel de medio eorum.
6 And Moses does—Aaron also—as YHWH commanded them; so have they done;
Fecit itaque Moyses et Aaron sicut præceperat Dominus: ita egerunt.
7 and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty-three years, in their speaking to Pharaoh.
Erat autem Moyses octoginta annorum, et Aaron octoginta trium, quando locuti sunt ad Pharaonem.
8 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron:
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, Give a wonder for yourselves; then you have said to Aaron, Take your rod and cast [it] before Pharaoh—it becomes a dragon.”
Cum dixerit vobis Pharao, Ostendite signa: dices ad Aaron: Tolle virgam tuam, et proiice eam coram Pharaone, ac vertetur in colubrum.
10 And Moses goes in—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and they do so as YHWH has commanded; and Aaron casts his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it becomes a dragon.
Ingressi itaque Moyses et Aaron ad Pharaonem, fecerunt sicut præceperat Dominus. tulitque Aaron virgam coram Pharaone et servis eius, quæ versa est in colubrum.
11 And Pharaoh also calls for wise men and for sorcerers; and the enchanters of Egypt, they also, with their [enchanting] flames, do so,
Vocavit autem Pharao sapientes et maleficos: et fecerunt etiam ipsi per incantationes Ægyptiacas et arcana quædam similiter.
12 and they each cast down his rod, and they become dragons, and the rod of Aaron swallows their rods;
Proieceruntque singuli virgas suas, quæ versæ sunt in dracones: sed devoravit virga Aaron virgas eorum.
13 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.
Induratumque est cor Pharaonis, et non audivit eos, sicut præceperat Dominus.
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “The heart of Pharaoh has been hard, he has refused to send the people away;
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Ingravatum est cor Pharaonis, non vult dimittere populum.
15 go to Pharaoh in the morning, behold, he is going out to the water, and you have stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent you take in your hand,
Vade ad eum mane, ecce egredietur ad aquas: et stabis in occursum eius super ripam fluminis: et virgam, quæ conversa est in draconem, tolles in manu tua.
16 and you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and behold, you have not listened until now.
Dicesque ad eum: Dominus Deus Hebræorum misit me ad te, dicens: Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi in deserto: et usque ad præsens audire noluisti.
17 Thus said YHWH: By this you know that I [am] YHWH; behold, I am striking with the rod which [is] in my hand, on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been turned to blood,
Hæc igitur dicit Dominus: In hoc scies quod sim Dominus: ecce percutiam virga, quæ in manu mea est, aquam fluminis, et vertetur in sanguinem.
18 and the fish that [are] in the River die, and the River has stunk, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters from the River.”
Pisces quoque, qui sunt in fluvio, morientur, et computrescent aquæ, et affligentur Ægyptii bibentes aquam fluminis.
19 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood—and there has been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those of] stone.”
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Dic ad Aaron, Tolle virgam tuam, et extende manum tuam super aquas Ægypti, et super fluvios eorum, et rivos ac paludes, et omnes lacus aquarum, ut vertantur in sanguinem: et sit cruor in omni Terra Ægypti, tam in ligneis vasis quam in saxeis.
20 And Moses and Aaron do so, as YHWH has commanded, and he lifts up [his hand] with the rod, and strikes the waters which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are] in the River are turned to blood,
Feceruntque Moyses et Aaron sicut præceperat Dominus: et elevans virgam percussit aquam fluminis coram Pharaone et servis eius: quæ versa est in sanguinem.
21 and the fish which [is] in the River has died, and the River stinks, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of Egypt.
Et pisces, qui erant in flumine, mortui sunt: computruitque fluvius, et non poterant Ægyptii bibere aquam fluminis, et fuit sanguis in tota Terra Ægypti.
22 And the enchanters of Egypt do so with their secrets, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken,
Feceruntque similiter malefici Ægyptiorum incantationibus suis: et induratum est cor Pharaonis, nec audivit eos, sicut præceperat Dominus.
23 and Pharaoh turns and goes into his house, and has not set his heart even to this;
Avertitque se, et ingressus est domum suam, nec apposuit cor etiam hac vice.
24 and all the Egyptians seek water all around the River to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
Foderunt autem omnes Ægyptii per circuitum fluminis aquam ut biberent: non enim poterant bibere de aqua fluminis.
25 And seven days are completed after YHWH’s striking the River.
Impletique sunt septem dies, postquam percussit Dominus fluvium.
