< Fitowa 7 >
1 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Duba, na maishe ka kamar Allah ga Fir’auna, ɗan’uwanka Haruna kuma zai zama annabinka.
And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Za ka faɗi kome da na umarce ka, ɗan’uwanka Haruna kuwa zai faɗa wa Fir’auna, yă bar Isra’ilawa su fita daga ƙasarsa.
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 Amma zan taurare zuciyar Fir’auna, kuma ko da na ninka mu’ujizai da kuma alamu a Masar,
And I will render Pharaoh's heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 ba zai saurare ku ba. Don haka zan miƙa hannuna a kan Masar, in murƙushe ta da bala’i iri-iri, bayan haka zan fitar da taron mutanen Isra’ila daga ƙasar Masar ta wurin hukuntaina masu girma.
And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 Masarawa kuwa za su san cewa ni ne Ubangiji sa’ad da na miƙa hannuna a kan Masar, na kuma fitar da Isra’ilawa daga gare ta.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Musa da Haruna suka aikata yadda Ubangiji ya umarce su.
And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they.
7 Musa yana da shekara tamanin da haihuwa, Haruna kuma yana da shekara tamanin da uku, sa’ad da suka yi magana da Fir’auna.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa da Haruna,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 “Sa’ad da Fir’auna ya ce muku, ‘Aikata wani al’ajabi,’ sai ka ce wa Haruna, ‘Ɗauki sandanka ka jefa shi a ƙasa, a gaban Fir’auna,’ zai kuwa zama maciji.”
When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Do a miracle for yourselves, — then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast [it] before Pharaoh — it will become a serpent.
10 Sai Musa da Haruna suka tafi wurin Fir’auna, suka yi yadda Ubangiji ya umarce su. Haruna ya jefa sandansa ƙasa, a gaban Fir’auna da bayinsa, sai sandan ya zama maciji.
And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his bondmen, and it became a serpent.
11 Fir’auna kuwa ya kira masu hikima da masu sihiri, sai bokayen Masarawa ma suka yi irin abubuwan nan da bokancinsu.
And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments:
12 Kowannensu ya jefa sandansa ƙasa, ya kuwa zama maciji. Amma sandan Haruna ya haɗiye sandunansu.
they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
13 Duk da haka zuciyar Fir’auna ta taurare, bai kuwa saurare su ba, kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya riga ya faɗa.
And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
14 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Zuciyar Fir’auna taurariya ce, ya ƙi yă bar mutanen su tafi.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened: he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Ka je wurin Fir’auna da safe, yayinda za shi kogi. Ka jira a bakin Nilu don ka sadu da shi, ka ɗauki sandan nan da ya canja zuwa maciji a hannunka.
Go unto Pharaoh in the morning — behold, he will go out unto the water — and take thy stand by the bank of the river in front of him; and take in thy hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.
16 Sa’an nan ka ce masa, ‘Ubangiji, Allah na Ibraniyawa, ya aiko ni in faɗa maka, Ka bar mutanena su tafi domin su yi mini sujada a hamada. Amma har yanzu ba ka yi biyayya ba.
And say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; but behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
17 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, da wannan za ka san cewa ni ne Ubangiji. Da sandan da yake hannuna zan bugi ruwan Nilu, zai kuma zama jini.
Thus saith Jehovah: In this shalt thou know that I am Jehovah — behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water which is in the river, and it shall be turned into blood.
18 Kifi a ciki Nilu za su mutu, ruwan kuma zai yi ɗoyi; Masarawa ba za su iya shan ruwansa ba.’”
And the fish that is in the river shall die; and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water out of the river.
19 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Ka ce wa Haruna, ‘Ka ɗauki sandanka, ka miƙa hannunka kan ruwan Masar, kan kogunansu da rafuffukansu da kududdufansu da kuma dukan tafkunansu, za su zama jini.’ Jini zai kasance ko’ina a Masar, har ma a cikin abubuwan ajiyar ruwansu da aka yi da itace da kuma dutse.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of the Egyptians — upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood and in [vessels of] stone.
20 Musa da Haruna suka yi yadda Ubangiji ya umarta. Ya ɗaga sandansa a gaban Fir’auna da bayinsa, ya bugi ruwan Nilu, dukan ruwan kuwa ya zama jini.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his bondmen; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood.
21 Kifin da suke cikin Nilu suka mutu, kogin kuwa ya yi wari sosai yadda Masarawa ba su iya shan ruwan ba. Jini ya bazu ko’ina a Masar.
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and the blood was throughout the land of Egypt.
22 Amma bokayen Masar ma suka yi abubuwan nan da sihirinsu, sai zuciyar Fir’auna ta taurare; bai saurari Musa da Haruna ba, kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya riga ya faɗa.
And the scribes of Egypt did so with their sorceries; and Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, neither did he hearken to them, as Jehovah had said.
23 A maimakon yă saurara, sai ya juya ya koma fadarsa, bai ma damu da abin da aka yi ba.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and took not this to heart either.
24 Sai dukan Masarawa suka yi ta tonon gefen Nilu don su sami ruwan sha, domin ba su iya shan ruwan kogin ba.
And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Kwana bakwai suka wuce bayan da Ubangiji ya bugi kogin.
And seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river.
