Exodus 7
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen [carefully]. [Just like I enabled prophet to speak my messages], I will cause the king [to consider that] you are like a god, and that Aaron is like a prophet.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “We ngũtuĩte ta Ngai harĩ Firaũni, nake mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni egũtuĩka mũnabii waku.
2 You must tell everything I command you [to tell to your older] brother Aaron, and he will tell that to the king. He must tell the king to let the Israeli people leave his land.
Wee ũriugaga ũrĩa wothe ndĩgwathaga, nake mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni nĩwe ũrĩĩraga Firaũni arekererie andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wake.
3 But I will make the king stubborn [IDM]. As a result, even though I perform many kinds of (miracles/terrifying things) [DOU] [here] in Egypt,
No nĩngũtũma ngoro ya Firaũni yũme, na o na ndaingĩhia ciama ciakwa na morirũ gũkũ bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ,
4 the king will not pay any attention to what you say. Then I will punish [MTY] the people of Egypt [MTY] very severely [MTY], and I will lead/bring the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
ndakamũigua. Ningĩ nĩngatambũrũkia guoko gwakwa kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na ndute ikundi cia andũ akwa a Isiraeli moime kuo na ũndũ wa ciĩko nene cia ũtuanĩri ciira.
5 Then, when I show my great power [MTY] to the Egyptian people and bring the Israeli people out from among them, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Nao andũ a Misiri nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, rĩrĩa ngataambũrũkia guoko gwakwa njũkĩrĩre bũrũri wa Misiri na ndute andũ a Isiraeli moime kuo.”
6 Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh told them/us to do. They/We [went and spoke to the king].
Musa na Harũni magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aamaathĩte meke.
7 At that time, Moses/I was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 years old.
Musa aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana nake Harũni mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana na ĩtatũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maaragia na Firaũni.
8 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
9 “If the king says to you, ‘Prove [that God sent] you by performing a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Throw your stick down in front of the king, in order that it may become a snake.’”
“Rĩrĩa Firaũni arĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ringai kĩama,’ nawe Musa wĩre Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Oya rũthanju rwaku, ũrũikie thĩ o hau mbere ya Firaũni,’ naruo rũtuĩke nyoka.”
10 So Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and did what Yahweh had commanded [them/us to do]. Aaron threw his stick down in front of the king and his officials, and it became a snake.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Harũni magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni, nao magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa maathĩtwo nĩ Jehova. Harũni agĩikia rũthanju rwake thĩ mbere ya Firaũni na anene ake, naruo rũgĩtuĩka nyoka.
11 Then the king summoned his sorcerers and men who performed magic. They did the same thing, using their magic.
Nake Firaũni agĩĩta andũ arĩa oogĩ o na ago, na aringi ciama a Misiri, nao magĩĩka o ũguo magĩtũmĩra maũgĩ mao ma ũgo.
12 They all threw down their sticks, and they became snakes. But Aaron’s stick, [which had become a snake], swallowed up all their sticks!
O mũndũ agĩikia rũthanju rwake thĩ na rũgĩtuĩka nyoka. No rũthanju rwa Harũni rũkĩmeria thanju ciao.
13 But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], just as Yahweh had predicted, and he would not pay attention to [what Aaron and Moses/I said].
No rĩrĩ, ngoro ya Firaũni ĩkĩũma nake akĩrega kũmaigua, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king is very stubborn [IDM]. He refuses to allow [my] people to go.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ngoro ya Firaũni ndĩngĩororoa; nĩaregete kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ.
15 So [tomorrow] morning, go to him as he is going down to the [Nile] River [to bathe]. Wait for him at the riverbank. [When he comes out of the water, show] him the stick, the one which became a snake.
Nĩũgathiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni rũciinĩ agĩthiĩ rũũĩ. Weterere mũcemanie nake hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Nili, na ũthiĩ na rũthanju rũrĩa rwagarũrũkĩte rũgatuĩka nyoka.
16 Say to him, ‘Yahweh God, the one [we] Hebrews [worship], sent me to you to tell you to let my people go, in order that they may worship him in the desert. [We told you that], but you have not paid any attention to it.
Ũcooke ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova, o we Ngai wa Ahibirania, nĩandũmĩte ngwĩre ũũ: Rekereria andũ akwa mathiĩ nĩgeetha makandungatĩre marĩ werũ-inĩ. No nginya rĩu nĩũregete gũthikĩrĩria.
17 [So now] Yahweh says this: “This is the way you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. Watch this: I am going to strike the water that is in the Nile [River] with the stick that is in my hand. [When I do that], the water will become blood (OR, [red like] blood [MTY]).
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũgũtũma ũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova: Ngũgũtha maaĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Nili na rũthanju rũrũ rũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa, namo magarũrũke matuĩke thakame.
18 Then the fish in the Nile [River] will die, and the [water in] the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the Nile River.”’”
Thamaki iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩigũkua, naruo rũũĩ rũnunge; andũ a Misiri maremwo nĩ kũnyua maaĩ maruo.’”
19 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[When you are talking to the king], say to Aaron, ‘Hold your stick out [as though you were holding it] over the water in Egypt—over the rivers, the canals, the ponds, and over the pools of water, in order that [all of it] may become [red like] blood.’ When Aaron does that, there will be blood throughout Egypt, even in wooden jars and in stone jars.”
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Oya rũthanju rwaku na ũtambũrũkie guoko igũrũ rĩa maaĩ ma bũrũri wa Misiri, na igũrũ rĩa tũrũũĩ, na mĩtaro, na tũmaria o na kũrĩa guothe kũhingĩrĩrie maaĩ nakuo guothe gũtuĩke thakame. Thakame ĩkaiyũra kũndũ guothe bũrũri wa Misiri, o na kũu ndoo-inĩ cia mĩtĩ na mĩtũngi-inĩ ya mahiga.’”
20 So Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. As the king and his officials were watching, Aaron lifted up his stick and then struck the water in the Nile [River] with it. And all the water in the river turned [red like] blood.
Musa na Harũni magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte. Agĩkĩambararia rũthanju rwake arĩ mbere ya Firaũni na anene ake, nake akĩgũtha maaĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Nili, namo maaĩ mothe makĩgarũrũka magĩtuĩka thakame.
21 Then all the fish died. And the water stank, with the result that the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. Everywhere in Egypt [the water] became [red like] blood.
Thamaki iria ciarĩ Rũũĩ rwa Nili igĩkua, naruo rũũĩ rũkĩnunga ũũru mũno, nginya andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri makĩremwo nĩ kũnyua maaĩ maruo. Bũrũri wa Misiri wothe ũkĩiyũra thakame.
22 But the men who performed magic did the same thing using their magic. So the king remained stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/I said, just as Yahweh had predicted.
No aringi ciama a bũrũri wa Misiri magĩĩka maũndũ o ta macio na ũndũ wa maũgĩ mao ma ũgo, nayo ngoro ya Firaũni ĩkĩũma; akĩrega kũigua Musa na Harũni, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
23 The king turned and went back to his palace, and he did not think any more about it [IDM].
Handũ ha kũigua-rĩ, akĩhũndũka agĩthiĩ nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, na ndaigana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ yake.
24 The Egyptians [HYP] dug [into the ground] near the Nile [River] to get water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
Nao andũ othe a Misiri makĩenja ithima gũkuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩguo mone maaĩ ma kũnyua, tondũ matingĩahotire kũnyua maaĩ ma rũũĩ rũu.
25 (One week/Seven days) passed after Yahweh caused the water in the Nile [River to become red like blood].
Mĩthenya mũgwanja nĩyahĩtũkire thuutha wa Jehova kũgũtha maaĩ ma Nili.
