< Ọpụpụ 7 >
1 Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Emeela m gị ka ị dịrị ka Chineke nʼebe Fero nọ. Nwanne gị Erọn ga-abụkwa onye amụma gị.
And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Ị ga-agwa Erọn ihe niile m gwara gị. Ọ ga-ekwukwa ha nʼihu Fero, rịọọ ya ka o kwere ka ụmụ Izrel hapụ ala Ijipt.
Thou shall speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
3 Ma aga m eme ka obi Fero sie ike. Ọ bụ ezie na m ga-eme ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama nʼihe ebube nʼala Ijipt,
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 ma Fero agaghị ege unu ntị. Mgbe ahụ aga m eme ka aka m bịakwasị Ijipt. Aga m esite nʼoke ọrụ nke ikpe ọmụma dị oke egwu, mee ka ndị m, Izrel, dịka usuu ha niile si dị, site nʼala Ijipt pụọ.
But Pharaoh will not hearken to you. And I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people the sons of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 Ndị Ijipt ga-amata nʼezie na m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m setịpụrụ aka nʼIjipt, ma site nʼetiti ha kpọpụta ụmụ Izrel.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the sons of Israel from among them.
6 Mosis na Erọn mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha iwu.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah commanded them, so they did.
7 Nʼoge a, mgbe ha gwara Fero okwu, Mosis agbaala iri afọ asatọ. Ma Erọn agbaala iri afọ asatọ na atọ.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn sị,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 “Mgbe Fero ga-agwa unu okwu sị, ‘Meenụ ihe ebube.’ Ị ga-agwa Erọn okwu sị ya, ‘Were mkpanaka gị tụpụ ya nʼala nʼihu Fero.’ Ọ ga-aghọ agwọ.”
When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show a wonder for you, then thou shall say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.
10 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn jekwuuru Fero mee dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu. Erọn tụpụrụ mkpanaka ya nʼala nʼihu Fero na ndị ozi ya. Ọ ghọrọ agwọ.
And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh. And they did so, as Jehovah had commanded, and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Ma Fero kpọkọtara ndị maara ihe, na ndị mgbaasị, na ndị majiki nọ nʼIjipt. Ha bịara mee ụdị ihe ịrịbama ahụ Mosis na Erọn mere site nʼihe nzuzo nke akaọrụ ha.
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. And they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 Onye ọbụla nʼime ha tụpụrụ mkpanaka ya, nke ghọkwara agwọ. Ma mkpanaka ahụ Erọn tụpụrụ, nke ghọrọ agwọ, loro mkpanaka ndị ahụ niile ndị Ijipt tụpụrụ.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents, but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Fero nyịchiri obi ya, mee ka o sie ike. O geghị Erọn na Mosis ntị dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had spoken.
14 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Obi Fero siri ike. Ọ bụ nke a mere o ji na-aga nʼihu na-ajụ ka ndị m laa.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is stubborn; he refuses to let the people go.
15 Ma otu ọ dị; nʼisi ụtụtụ echi, jekwuru Fero tupu ọ gaa nʼosimiri. Guzoro nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl, jidekwa mkpanaka ahụ ghọrọ agwọ nʼaka gị.
Get thee to Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he goes out to the water, and thou shall stand by the river's edge to meet him, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou shall take in thy hand.
16 Ị ga-agwa Fero sị, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ndị Hibru, ezitela m ka m gwa gị sị, hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa nʼọzara fee m ofufe. Tutu ruo ugbu a, ị jụrụ ige ntị.’
And thou shall say to 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. And, behold, until now thou have not hearkened.
17 Ugbu a Onyenwe anyị kwuru nke a sị, ‘Ị ga-amata site na nke a na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. Aga m ewere mkpanaka a nke m ji nʼaka tie nʼosimiri Naịl. Ọ ga-agbanwe ghọọ ọbara.
Thus says Jehovah, In this thou shall know that I am Jehovah. Behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Azụ niile dị nʼime ya ga-anwụ. Osimiri ahụ ga-esikwa isi dịka ihe rere ure. Nke a ga-eme ka ọ bụrụ ihe rara ahụ nye ndị Ijipt ịṅụ mmiri site na ya.’”
And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul, and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.
19 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Gwa Erọn ka o setịpụ mkpanaka ya nʼelu mmiri niile dị nʼIjipt. Nke a metụtara osimiri ha niile, mmiri ntakịrị ha niile, ọdọ mmiri ha niile, na ebe niile ha na-echekọta mmiri. Ọbara ga-ejupụta ebe niile nʼIjipt, ite mmiri na ite aja na ite osisi niile.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy 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, and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
20 Mosis na Erọn mere dị ka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu ime. Nʼihu Fero na ndịisi ọrụ ya, Erọn weliri mkpanaka ya tie ya nʼelu mmiri dị nʼosimiri Naịl. Nʼotu ntabi anya, mmiri ahụ gbanwere ghọọ ọbara.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah commanded. And he lifted up the rod, and smote 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 Ka azụ dị nʼime mmiri Naịl nwụsịrị, mmiri ahụ malitere na-esi isi ọjọọ, nke mere ka ndị Ijipt hapụ inwe ike ịṅụ mmiri sitere na ya. Ọbara jupụtakwara nʼala Ijipt niile.
And the fish that were in the river died, and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. And the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Ma ndị majiki Ijipt jikwa ihe nzuzo ha mee ka mmiri chaa ọbara ọbara. Nke a mere ka Fero nyịchie obi ya. Ọ ṅaghị Mosis na Erọn ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara ha na ọ ga-eme.
And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments. And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had spoken.
23 Fero tụgharịrị laghachi nʼụlọeze ya, na-echeghị echiche banyere ihe niile ahụ e mere.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
24 Ya mere, ndị Ijipt niile gwuru olulu mmiri nʼakụkụ osimiri ahụ ịchọ mmiri ọṅụṅụ ebe ha na-enweghị ike ịṅụ mmiri sitere nʼosimiri Naịl.
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 Ụbọchị asaa gasịrị, site nʼụbọchị Onyenwe anyị tichara ihe otiti ahụ na Naịl.
And seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river.
