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 the Lord said to Moses: Behold I have appointed thee the God of Pharao: 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 shalt speak to him all that I command thee; and he shall speak to Pharao, that he let the children 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,
But I shall harden his heart, and shall multiply my signs and 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.
And he will not hear you: and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and will bring forth my army and my people the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by very 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 the Lord, who have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought forth the children of Israel out of the midst of them.
6 Mosis na Erọn mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha iwu.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded: so did they.
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, when they spoke to Pharao.
8 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn sị,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
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 Pharao shall say to you, Shew signs: thou shalt say to Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharao, and it shall be turned into 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.
So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharao, and did as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the rod before Pharao, and his servants, and it was turned into 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.
And Pharao called the wise men and the magicians: and they also by Egyptian enchantments and certain secrets did in like manner.
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.
And they every one cast down their rods, and they were turned into serpents: but Aaron’s rod devoured their rods.
13 Fero nyịchiri obi ya, mee ka o sie ike. O geghị Erọn na Mosis ntị dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
And Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as the Lord had commanded.
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 the Lord said to Moses: Pharao’s heart is hardened, he will not 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.
Go to him in the morning, behold he will go out to the waters: and thou shalt stand to meet him on the bank of the river: and thou shalt take in thy hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
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 shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to thee saying: Let my people go to sacrifice to me in the desert: and hitherto thou wouldst not hear.
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 therefore saith the Lord: In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold I will strike with the rods that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it shall be turned into 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 fishes that are in the river shall die, and the waters shall be corrupted, and the Egyptians shall be afflicted when they drink the water of 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.”
The Lord also said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch forth thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, and upon their rivers, and streams and pools, and all the ponds of waters, that they may be turned into blood: and let blood be in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and 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 as the Lord had commanded: and lifting up the rod he struck the water of the river before Pharao and his servants: and it was turned into 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 fishes that were in the river died: and the river corrupted, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river, and there was blood in 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 the Egyptians with their enchantments did in like manner: and Pharao’s heart was hardened, neither did he hear them, as the Lord had commanded.
23 Fero tụgharịrị laghachi nʼụlọeze ya, na-echeghị echiche banyere ihe niile ahụ e mere.
And he turned himself away and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to it this time also.
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 fully ended, after that the Lord struck the river.
