Thaama 7
1 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “We ngũtuĩte ta Ngai harĩ Firaũni, nake mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni egũtuĩka mũnabii waku.
And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Wee ũriugaga ũrĩa wothe ndĩgwathaga, nake mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni nĩwe ũrĩĩraga Firaũni arekererie andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wake.
Thou shalt speak all that I shall command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send away the children of Israel out of his land.
3 No nĩngũtũma ngoro ya Firaũni yũme, na o na ndaingĩhia ciama ciakwa na morirũ gũkũ bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ,
And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and I will multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 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.
And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by means of great judgments.
5 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.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth my hand over Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from the midst of them.
6 Musa na Harũni magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehova aamaathĩte meke.
And Moses and Aaron did so; as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
7 Musa aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana nake Harũni mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana na ĩtatũ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maaragia na Firaũni.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
8 Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,
And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 “Rĩrĩa Firaũni arĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ringai kĩama,’ nawe Musa wĩre Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Oya rũthanju rwaku, ũrũikie thĩ o hau mbere ya Firaũni,’ naruo rũtuĩke nyoka.”
If Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for yourselves: then shalt thou say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast it down before Pharaoh; it shall become a serpent.
10 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.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as the Lord had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Nake Firaũni agĩĩta andũ arĩa oogĩ o na ago, na aringi ciama a Misiri, nao magĩĩka o ũguo magĩtũmĩra maũgĩ mao ma ũgo.
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did with their secret arts in like manner.
12 O mũndũ agĩikia rũthanju rwake thĩ na rũgĩtuĩka nyoka. No rũthanju rwa Harũni rũkĩmeria thanju ciao.
And they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
13 No rĩrĩ, ngoro ya Firaũni ĩkĩũma nake akĩrega kũmaigua, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
But the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken.
14 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ngoro ya Firaũni ndĩngĩororoa; nĩaregete kũrekereria andũ mathiĩ.
And the Lord said unto Moses, The heart of Pharaoh is obdurate, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Nĩũgathiĩ kũrĩ Firaũni rũciinĩ agĩthiĩ rũũĩ. Weterere mũcemanie nake hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Nili, na ũthiĩ na rũthanju rũrĩa rwagarũrũkĩte rũgatuĩka nyoka.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt place thyself opposite to him by the brink of the river; and the staff which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.
16 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.
And thou shalt say unto him, The Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, thou wouldst not hear, up to this time.
17 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.
Thus hath said the Lord, By this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Thamaki iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩigũkua, naruo rũũĩ rũnunge; andũ a Misiri maremwo nĩ kũnyua maaĩ maruo.’”
And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loath to drink water from the river.
19 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.’”
And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, over their rivers, and over their ponds, and over all their pools of water, that they become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, also in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20 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.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord had commanded; and he lifted up [his hand] with the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 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.
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 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.
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their secret arts: and the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not hearken unto them; as the Lord had spoken.
23 Handũ ha kũigua-rĩ, akĩhũndũka agĩthiĩ nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, na ndaigana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ yake.
And Pharaoh turned away and went into his house, and he did not set his heart to this thing also.
24 Nao andũ othe a Misiri makĩenja ithima gũkuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩguo mone maaĩ ma kũnyua, tondũ matingĩahotire kũnyua maaĩ ma rũũĩ rũu.
And all the Egyptians dug in the neighborhood of the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Mĩthenya mũgwanja nĩyahĩtũkire thuutha wa Jehova kũgũtha maaĩ ma Nili.
And full seven days elapsed, after that the Lord had smitten the river.
