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.
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 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.
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 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,
“Mwen va fè kè Farawon vin di, e mwen va miltipliye sign ak mèvè mwen yo nan peyi Égypte la.
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.
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 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].”
“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 Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh told them/us to do. They/We [went and spoke to the king].
Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te fè jan SENYÈ a te mande yo a; se te konsa yo te Fè l.
7 At that time, Moses/I was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 years old.
Moïse te gen katre-ven lane, e Aaron katre-ven-twa, lè yo te pale ak Farawon an.
8 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse ak Aaron e te di:
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.’”
“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 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.
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 the king summoned his sorcerers and men who performed magic. They did the same thing, using their magic.
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 They all threw down their sticks, and they became snakes. But Aaron’s stick, [which had become a snake], swallowed up all their sticks!
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 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].
Men kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t koute yo, jan SENYÈ a te di a.
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king is very stubborn [IDM]. He refuses to allow [my] people to go.
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Kè a Farawon di; li refize kite pèp la ale.
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.
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 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.
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 [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]).
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 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.”’”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 The king turned and went back to his palace, and he did not think any more about it [IDM].
Alò, Farawon te vire antre lakay li. Li pa t pran sa akè.
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.
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 (One week/Seven days) passed after Yahweh caused the water in the Nile [River to become red like blood].
Sèt Jou te pase apre SENYÈ a te frape Nil lan.
