Egzòd 7
1 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ou wè, Mwen fè ou vin tankou Bondye devan Farawon; epi frè ou a Aaron va pwofèt ou.
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 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.
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.
3 “Mwen va fè kè Farawon vin di, e mwen va miltipliye sign ak mèvè mwen yo nan peyi Égypte la.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 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.
But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 “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.”
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”
6 Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te fè jan SENYÈ a te mande yo a; se te konsa yo te Fè l.
Moses and Aaron did so. As the LORD commanded them, so they did.
7 Moïse te gen katre-ven lane, e Aaron katre-ven-twa, lè yo te pale ak Farawon an.
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse ak Aaron e te di:
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 “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.”
“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”
10 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.
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 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.
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
12 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.
For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Men kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t koute yo, jan SENYÈ a te di a.
Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
14 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Kè a Farawon di; li refize kite pèp la ale.
The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 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.
Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.
16 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.’”
You shall tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you have not listened.”
17 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.
The LORD says, “In this you shall know that I am the LORD. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 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.”
The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.”’”
19 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.’”
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, 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. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
20 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.
Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, 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.
21 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.
The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians could not drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 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.
The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
23 Alò, Farawon te vire antre lakay li. Li pa t pran sa akè.
Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not even take this to heart.
24 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.
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they could not drink the river water.
25 Sèt Jou te pase apre SENYÈ a te frape Nil lan.
Seven days were fulfilled, after the LORD had struck the river.
