Exodus 7
1 YHWH said to Moses, "Look, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce constitui te Deum Pharaonis: et Aaron frater tuus erit propheta tuus.
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.
Tu loqueris ei omnia quae mando tibi: et ille loquetur ad Pharaonem, ut dimittat filios Israel de terra sua.
3 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Sed ego indurabo cor eius, et multiplicabo signa et ostenta mea in Terra Aegypti,
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.
et non audiet vos: immittamque manum meam super Aegyptum, et educam exercitum et populum meum filios Israel de Terra Aegypti per iudicia maxima.
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."
Et scient Aegyptii quia ego sum Dominus qui extenderim manum meam super Aegyptum, et eduxerim filios Israel de medio eorum.
6 Moses and Aaron did so. As YHWH commanded them, so they did.
Fecit itaque Moyses et Aaron sicut praeceperat Dominus: ita egerunt.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Erat autem Moyses octoginta annorum, et Aaron octoginta trium, quando locuti sunt ad Pharaonem.
8 YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron:
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.'"
Cum dixerit vobis Pharao, Ostendite signa: dices ad Aaron: Tolle virgam tuam, et proiice eam coram Pharaone, ac vertatur in colubrum.
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.
Ingressi itaque Moyses et Aaron ad Pharaonem, fecerunt sicut praeceperat Dominus. tulitque Aaron virgam coram Pharaone et servis eius, quae versa est in colubrum.
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.
Vocavit autem Pharao sapientes et maleficos: et fecerunt etiam ipsi per incantationes Aegyptiacas et arcana quaedam similiter.
12 For they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents: but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs.
Proieceruntque singuli virgas suas, quae versae sunt in dracones: sed devoravit virga Aaron virgas eorum.
13 Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as YHWH had spoken.
Induratumque est cor Pharaonis, et non audivit eos, sicut praeceperat Dominus.
14 YHWH said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Ingravatum est cor Pharaonis, non vult dimittere populum.
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.
Vade ad eum mane, ecce egredietur ad aquas: et stabis in occursum eius super ripam fluminis: et virgam, quae conversa est in draconem, tolles in manu tua.
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.
Dicesque ad eum: Dominus Deus Hebraeorum misit me ad te, dicens: Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi in deserto: et usque ad praesens audire noluisti.
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.
Haec igitur dicit Dominus: In hoc scies quod sim Dominus: ecce percutiam virga, quae in manu mea est, aquam fluminis, et vertetur in sanguinem.
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."'"
Pisces quoque, qui sunt in fluvio, morientur, et computrescent aquae, et affligentur Aegyptii bibentes aquam fluminis.
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.'"
Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Dic ad Aaron, Tolle virgam tuam, et extende manum tuam super aquas Aegypti, et super fluvios eorum, et rivos ac paludes, et omnes lacus aquarum, ut vertantur in sanguinem: et sit cruor in omni Terra Aegypti, tam in ligneis vasis quam in saxeis.
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.
Feceruntque Moyses et Aaron sicut praeceperat Dominus: et elevans virgam percussit aquam fluminis coram Pharaone et servis eius: quae versa est in sanguinem.
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.
Et pisces, qui erant in flumine, mortui sunt: computruitque fluvius, et non poterant Aegyptii bibere aquam fluminis, et fuit sanguis in tota Terra Aegypti.
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.
Feceruntque similiter malefici Aegyptiorum incantationibus suis: et induratum est cor Pharaonis, nec audivit eos, sicut praeceperat Dominus.
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
Avertitque se, et ingressus est domum suam, nec apposuit cor etiam hac vice.
24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn't drink of the water of the river.
Foderunt autem omnes Aegyptii per circuitum fluminis aquam ut biberent: non enim poterant bibere de aqua fluminis.
25 Seven days were fulfilled, after YHWH had struck the river.
Impletique sunt septem dies, postquam percussit Dominus fluvium.
