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;
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Laba, nkufudde nga Katonda awali Falaawo, ne muganda wo Alooni y’ajja okubeera nnabbi wo.
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.
Ojjanga kwogera bye nkulagira, ne muganda wo Alooni ayogere ne Falaawo asobole okuleka abaana ba Isirayiri bave mu nsi ye.
3 And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,
Naye ndikakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo; ne bwe ndikolera ebyamagero ebingi ennyo mu nsi y’e Misiri,
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;
tagenda kubawuliriza. Ndirumba Misiri n’amaanyi, ne ngisalira omusango, ne ndyoka nzigyayo abantu bange Abayisirayiri bonna.
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.”
Era Abamisiri balitegeera nti Nze Mukama, bwe ndirumba Misiri n’amaanyi ne nzigyayo Abayisirayiri.”
6 And Moses does—Aaron also—as YHWH commanded them; so have they done;
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira.
7 and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty-three years, in their speaking to Pharaoh.
We baayogerera ne Falaawo, Musa yali aweza emyaka kinaana egy’obukulu, ne Alooni ng’aweza emyaka kinaana mu esatu.
8 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Mukama n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
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.”
“Falaawo bw’anaabagamba nti, ‘Mukoleeyo ekyamagero,’ nga ggwe ogamba Alooni nti, ‘Ddira omuggo gwo ogusuule wansi awali Falaawo,’ era gunaafuuka omusota.”
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.
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bagenda ewa Falaawo, ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira. Alooni n’asuula omuggo gwe wansi awali Falaawo n’abaweereza be, ne gufuuka omusota.
11 And Pharaoh also calls for wise men and for sorcerers; and the enchanters of Egypt, they also, with their [enchanting] flames, do so,
Falaawo naye n’atumya basajja be abagezigezi, n’abalogo; abakujjukujju abo Abamisiri ne bakola ekintu kye kimu mu magezi gaabwe ag’ekyama.
12 and they each cast down his rod, and they become dragons, and the rod of Aaron swallows their rods;
Kubanga nabo baasuula wansi emiggo gyabwe, ne gifuuka emisota; naye omuggo gwa Alooni ne gumira emiggo gyabwe.
13 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.
Naye era omutima gwa Falaawo ne gukakanyala, nga Mukama bwe yali agambye.
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “The heart of Pharaoh has been hard, he has refused to send the people away;
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Omutima gwa Falaawo gukakanyadde, era agaanye okuleka abantu okugenda.
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,
Mu makya genda eri Falaawo ng’afuluma okulaga ku mazzi, omulindirire ku lubalama lw’omugga Kiyira. Era twala n’omuggo ogwafuuka omusota.
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.
Olyoke omugambe nti, ‘Mukama Katonda wa Abaebbulaniya yantuma gy’oli ng’agamba nti, Leka abantu bange bajje mu ddungu bansinze; naye, laba, n’okutuusa leero okyagaanyi okuŋŋondera.’
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,
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Ku kino kw’olitegeerera nga nze Mukama: laba ndikuba ku mazzi agali mu mugga, n’omuggo oguli mu mukono gwange, era galifuuka musaayi,
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.”
n’ebyennyanja ebiri mu mugga birifa, n’omugga guliwunya; era n’Abamisiri nga tebakyayagala kunywa ku mazzi gaagwo.’”
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.”
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Tegeeza Alooni nti, ‘Twala omuggo gwo ogwolekeze amazzi gonna mu Misiri: ku migga gyabwe, n’emikutu gyabwe, n’obuyanja bwabwe, n’ebidiba byabwe, byonna bifuuke musaayi. Era wagenda kubeerawo omusaayi mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri: mu ntiba ez’emiti ne mu matogero ag’amayinja.’”
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,
Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira. Alooni n’addira omuggo gwe n’akuba ku mazzi ag’omu mugga, nga Falaawo n’abaweereza be balaba; amazzi gonna ag’omu mugga ne gafuuka omusaayi.
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.
Era n’ebyennyanja byonna mu mugga Kiyira ne bifa. Omugga ne guwunya, Abamisiri nga tebakyasobola kunywa mazzi ga mu mugga Kiyira; omusaayi ne gubuna wonna mu nsi y’e Misiri.
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,
Abalogo ab’omu Misiri nabo ne bakola bwe batyo mu magezi gaabwe ag’ekyama. Omutima gwa Falaawo ne gweyongera okukakanyala, ebya Musa ne Alooni n’atabiwuliriza era nga Mukama bwe yali agambye;
23 and Pharaoh turns and goes into his house, and has not set his heart even to this;
n’akyuka ne yeddirayo mu lubiri lwe, nga byonna ebibaddewo tabissizzaako mwoyo.
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.
Abamisiri bonna ne basimaasima okumpi n’omugga nga banoonya amazzi ag’okunywa, kubanga amazzi g’omu mugga nga tegakyanyweka.
25 And seven days are completed after YHWH’s striking the River.
Awo ne wayitawo ennaku musanvu okuva ku lunaku Mukama lwe yakubirako omugga.
