< Exodus 7 >

1 YHWH said to Moses, "Look, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ou wè, Mwen fè ou vin tankou Bondye devan Farawon; epi frè ou a Aaron va pwofèt ou.
2 You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Ou va pale tout sa ke mwen te kòmande ou yo. E frè ou a, Aaron va pale avèk Farawon pou li kite fis Israël yo ale sòti nan peyi li a.
3 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
“Mwen va fè kè Farawon vin di, e mwen va miltipliye sign ak mèvè mwen yo nan peyi Égypte la.
4 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring forth my regiments, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
Men Farawon an pa p koute ou, epi konsa Mwen va mete men M sou Égypte. Mwen va mennen lame Mwen yo, pèp Mwen an, fis Israël yo, pou soti deyò peyi Égypte la avèk gwo jijman yo.
5 The Egyptians shall know that I am YHWH, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them."
“Ejipsyen yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a lè mwen lonje men M sou Égypte, e fè fis Israël yo sòti nan mitan yo.”
6 Moses and Aaron did so. As YHWH commanded them, so they did.
Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te fè jan SENYÈ a te mande yo a; se te konsa yo te Fè l.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Moïse te gen katre-ven lane, e Aaron katre-ven-twa, lè yo te pale ak Farawon an.
8 YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse ak Aaron e te di:
9 "When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, 'Perform a miracle.' then you shall tell Aaron, 'Take your staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'"
“Lè Farawon pale nou pou di: ‘Fè yon mirak,’ alò nou va di a Aaron: Pran baton nou an e jete li atè devan Farawon, pou li kapab vin fè yon sèpan.”
10 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as YHWH had commanded: and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te vin vè Farawon, epi konsa yo te fè jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande yo a. Aaron te jete baton li an atè devan Farawon avèk sèvitè li yo, epi li te devni yon sèpan.
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts.
Farawon osi te rele nonm saj avèk sa ki fè maji yo. Konsa, yo menm te fè menm bagay la tou. Majisyen nan Égypte yo te fè menm bagay avèk metye sekrè ak wanga pa yo.
12 For they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents: but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs.
Paske yo chak te jete baton yo atè, e chak te vin fè yon sèpan. Men baton Aaron an te vale lòt baton yo nèt.
13 Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as YHWH had spoken.
Men kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t koute yo, jan SENYÈ a te di a.
14 YHWH said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Kè a Farawon di; li refize kite pèp la ale.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Look, he goes out to the water; and you shall stand by the river's bank to meet him; and the staff which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand.
Ale kote Farawon nan maten. Gade byen, l ap antre nan dlo. Plase ou menm pou rankontre li arebò lariviyè Nil lan. Ou va pran nan men ou baton ki te vin tounen sèpan an.
16 You shall tell him, 'YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, "Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness:" and look, until now you haven't listened.
Ou va di li: ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo, te voye m kote ou. Li te di: Kite pèp Mwen an ale, pou yo kapab sèvi Mwen nan dezè a. Men, gade byen, ou pa koute jiska prezan.’”
17 Thus says YHWH, "In this you shall know that I am YHWH. Look, I will strike with the staff that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Konsa ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a: gade byen, Mwen va frape dlo ki nan Nil lan avèk baton ki nan men m nan, e li va tounen san.
18 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."'"
Pwason ki nan Nil yo va mouri, Nil la va vin santi move, e Ejipsyen yo va twouve ke li difisil pou bwè dlo Nil lan.”
19 YHWH said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Take your staff, and stretch out your 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.'"
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Di Aaron: ‘Pran baton ou an, e lonje men ou sou dlo Égypte yo, sou rivyè yo, sou ti dlo ki koule yo, sou ti lak yo, sou rezèvwa pa yo, pou tout kapab vin tounen san. Va gen san toupatou nan tout peyi Égypte la, ni nan veso ki fèt an bwa, ak nan veso an wòch.’”
20 Moses and Aaron did so, as YHWH commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and struck 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.
Moïse avèk Aaron te fè sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande yo a. Li te leve baton an wo e li te frape dlo ki te nan Nil lan, devan zye a Farawon, devan zye a sèvitè li yo, e tout dlo ki te nan Nil lan te vin tounen san.
21 The fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians couldn't drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
Pwason ki te nan Nil yo te mouri, e Nil lan te vin pouri jiskaske Ejipsyen yo pa t kapab bwè dlo Nil lan. Konsa, san an te toupatou nan peyi Égypte la.
22 The magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as YHWH had spoken.
Men majisyen an Égypte yo te fè menm bagay la avèk metye maji pa yo. Pou sa a, kè a Farawon te vin di, e li pa t koute yo, jan Bondye te di a.
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
Alò, Farawon te vire antre lakay li. Li pa t pran sa akè.
24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn't drink of the water of the river.
Tout Ejipsyen yo te fouye akote larivyè Nil lan pou jwenn dlo pou yo bwè, akoz ke yo pa t kab bwè dlo larivyè Nil lan.
25 Seven days were fulfilled, after YHWH had struck the river.
Sèt Jou te pase apre SENYÈ a te frape Nil lan.
