< 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.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, I have made you a god to Pharao, 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.
And you shall say to him all things that I charge you, and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharao, that he should send forth the children of Israel 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.
And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and I will multiply my signs and 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.
And Pharao will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt; and will bring out my people the children of Israel with my power out of the land of Egypt with great vengeance.
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.”
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, stretching out my hand upon Egypt, and I will bring out the children of Israel out of the midst of them.
6 Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te fè jan SENYÈ a te mande yo a; se te konsa yo te Fè l.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
7 Moïse te gen katre-ven lane, e Aaron katre-ven-twa, lè yo te pale ak Farawon an.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron his brother was eighty-three years old, when he spoke to Pharao.
8 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse ak Aaron e te di:
And the Lord spoke to Moses and 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.”
Now if Pharao should speak to you, saying, Give us a sign or a wonder, then shall you say to your brother Aaron, Take your rod and cast it upon the ground before Pharao, and before his servants, and it shall 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.
And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and [before] his servants, and they did so, as the Lord commanded them; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharao, 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.
But Pharao called together the wise men of Egypt, and the sorcerers, and the charmers also of the Egyptians did likewise with their sorceries.
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.
And they cast down each his rod, and they became serpents, but the rod of Aaron swallowed up their rods.
13 Men kè Farawon te vin di, e li pa t koute yo, jan SENYÈ a te di a.
and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord charged them.
14 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Kè a Farawon di; li refize kite pèp la ale.
and the Lord said to Moses, The heart of Pharao is made hard, so that he should not 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 Pharao early in the morning: behold, he goes forth to the water; and you shall meet him on the bank of the river, and you shall take in your hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
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.’”
And you shall say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Send my people away, that they may serve me in the wilderness, and, behold, hitherto 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.
These things says the Lord: Hereby shall you know that I am the Lord: behold, I strike with the rod that is in my hand on the water which is in the river, and it shall change it into 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.”
And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall stink thereupon, and the Egyptians shall not be able 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.’”
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to your brother Aaron, Take your rod in your hand, and stretch forth your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers, and over their canals, and over their ponds, and over all their standing water, and it shall become blood: and there was blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and 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.
and Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded them; and [Aaron] having lifted up [his hand] with his rod, struck the water in the river before Pharao, and before his servants, and changed all the water in the river into 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.
And the fish in the river died, and the river stank thereupon; and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river, and the blood was in 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.
And the charmers also of the Egyptians did so with their sorceries; and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not listen to them, even as the Lord said.
23 Alò, Farawon te vire antre lakay li. Li pa t pran sa akè.
And Pharao turned and entered into his house, nor did he fix his attention even on this thing.
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.
And all the Egyptians dug round about the river, so as to drink water, for they could not drink water from the river.
25 Sèt Jou te pase apre SENYÈ a te frape Nil lan.
and seven days were fulfilled after the Lord has struck the river.
