Egzòd 7
1 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Gade! Mwen pral fè ou tounen Bondye pou farawon an. Arawon, frè ou la, pral pale avè l' pou ou tankou yon pwofèt.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—See! I have appointed thee to be God unto Pharaoh, —and, Aaron thy brother, shall be thy prophet!
2 W'a di Arawon tou sa mwen te ba ou lòd di. Li menm, l'a repete l' bay farawon an pou farawon an voye pitit Izrayèl yo pati kite peyi a.
Thou, shalt speak all that which I may command thee, and, Aaron thy brother, shall speak unto Pharaoh, and he shall let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
3 Mwen menm menm, m'ap fè farawon an fè tèt di. Konsa, m'a fè plis mirak ak plis mèvèy toujou nan peyi Lejip la.
But, I, will suffer Pharaoh to harden his heart, —so will I multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 Farawon an p'ap koute nou. Lè sa a, m'a frape peyi Lejip la. m'a pini l' byen pini. m'a pran pitit Izrayèl yo, sòlda mwen yo, pèp mwen an, m'ap fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip.
And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, so will I lay my hand on Egypt, —and bring forth my hosts—my people the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, with great judgments.
5 Lè m'a frape peyi Lejip, lè m'a fè pitit Izrayèl yo soti nan mitan yo, moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm menm ki Seyè a vre.
And the Egyptians shall know that I, am Yahweh, when I have stretched forth my hand over Egypt, —and brought forth the sons of Israel out of their midst.
6 Moyiz ak Arawon te fè tou sa Seyè a te ba yo lòd fè. Wi, yo fè tou sa li te di yo fè a.
And Moses and Aaron did [so], —as Yahweh commanded them, so, did they.
7 Moyiz te gen katrevenzan, Arawon te gen katreventwazan lè yo t al pale ak farawon an.
Now Moses, was eighty years old, and, Aaron, eighty-three years old, —when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 Seyè a di Moyiz ak Arawon konsa:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying:
9 -Si farawon an mande nou fè yon mirak pou moutre ki moun nou ye, ou menm Moyiz w'a di Arawon pran baton l' lan, voye l' atè devan farawon an. Baton an va tounen yon koulèv.
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you saying, Shew for yourselves a wonder, then shalt thou say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh let it become a sea-serpent.
10 Moyiz ak Arawon al bò kote farawon an. Yo fè sa Seyè a te ba yo lòd fè a. Arawon voye baton l' lan devan farawon an ak devan tout moun farawon yo. Baton an tounen yon koulèv.
So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and did so as Yahweh had commanded, —and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants and it became a sea-serpent,
11 Men farawon an rele nèg save l' yo ak divinò l' yo. Yo menm tou, avèk maji yo, yo te rive fè menm bagay la tou.
Then called Pharaoh also for the wise men and for the magicians, —and they too, the sacred scribes of Egypt with their secret arts, did in like manner;
12 Yo voye baton pa yo atè, baton yo tounen koulèv tou. Men, baton Arawon an vale tout lòt baton yo.
yea they cast down each man his staff, and they became sea-serpents, —but Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staves.
13 Farawon an t'ap fè tèt di toujou. Li pa t' vle koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
Then waxed bold the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh.
14 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Farawon an ap fè tèt di toujou. Li pa vle kite pèp la ale.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Dull, is the heart of Pharaoh, —he hath refused to let the people go.
15 Ale bò kote farawon an denmen maten, lè li pral soti pou l' al bò gwo larivyè Nil la. Al tann li bò larivyè a. Baton ki te tounen koulèv la, w'a kenbe l' nan men ou.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning—lo! he is coming out to the waters, therefore shalt thou station thyself to meet him on the bank of the river, —and the staff which was turned into a serpent, shalt thou take in thy hand.
16 W'a di farawon an: Seyè a, Bondye ebre yo, te voye m' di ou konsa kite pèp li a ale pou yo ka fè yon sèvis pou li nan dezè a. Men, jouk koulye a ou pa vle koute l'.
Then shalt thou say unto him—Yahweh God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee saying, —Let my people go, that they may serve me in the desert, —And lo! thou hast not hearkened hitherto.
17 Jòdi a, men sa Seyè a di: mwen pral fè ou konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Mwen pral frape dlo gwo larivyè a avèk baton ki nan men m' lan, dlo a pral tounen san.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Hereby, shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh, —Lo! I, am smiting with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters that are in the river and they shall be turned to blood;
18 Tout pwason yo pral mouri, dlo a pral santi move, moun peyi Lejip yo p'ap ka bwè dlo ladan li ankò.
and, the fish that is in the river shall die and the river shall be loathsome, —and the Egyptians, shall disdain, to drink water out of the river.
19 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Di Arawon pran baton l' lan, lonje l' sou tout dlo ki nan peyi Lejip la: larivyè, kannal, letan, m'a dlo, wi, sou tout dlo ki genyen. Dlo yo va tounen san. Konsa va gen san sou tout peyi a, menm nan ganmèl yo ak nan kannari yo.
And Yahweh said unto Moses, —Say unto Aaron—Take thy staff, and stretch forth thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams over their rivers, and over their pools and over all their collections of water—that they may become blood, —so shall there be blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
20 Moyiz ak Arawon fè sa Seyè a te ba yo lòd fè a. Arawon leve baton l' lan, li frape dlo gwo larivyè a devan farawon an ak devan tout moun farawon yo. Tout dlo gwo larivyè a tounen san.
And Moses and Aaron, did so, as Yahweh commanded, and he lifted high the staff, and smote the waters which were in the river, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, —and all the waters which were in the river were turned to blood;
21 Tout pwason nan larivyè a mouri. Dlo a vin santi move. Moun peyi Lejip yo pa t' kapab pran dlo ladan l' pou yo bwè ankò. Te gen san toupatou nan peyi a.
and the fish that was in the river, died and the river became loathsome, so that the Egyptians could not drink water out of the river, —thus came it to pass that blood was in all the land of Egypt.
22 Men, majisyen peyi Lejip yo te rive fè menm bagay la tou avèk maji yo. Farawon an menm t'ap fè tèt di pi rèd. Li pa koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
And the sacred scribes of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts, —so the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.
23 Farawon an vire do ba yo, l' al lakay li tankou si anyen pa t' rive.
Then Pharaoh, turned away, and entered into his house—neither applied he his heart, even to this.
24 Moun peyi Lejip yo pran fouye twou sou bò gwo larivyè a pou yo te ka jwenn dlo pròp pou yo bwè, paske yo pa t' kapab bwè dlo gwo larivyè a.
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink, —for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Apre Seyè a te fin frape gwo larivyè a, li kite sèt jou pase.
And seven days were fulfilled, —after Yahweh had smitten the river.
