< Exodo 7 >
1 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Kitaem, pinagbalinka a kasla maysa a dios kenni Faraon. Ni Aaron a kabsatmo ti agbalin a profetam.
The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2 Ibagamto amin nga ibilinko kenka nga ibagam. Ni Aaron a kabsatmo ti agsao kenni Faraon tapno palubosanna dagiti tattao iti Israel a pumanaw manipud iti dagana.
You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land.
3 Ngem patangkenekto ti puso ni Faraon, ken ipakitakto dagiti adu a pagilasinan iti pannakabalinko, adu a nakaskasdaaw iti daga ti Egipto.
But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
4 Ngem saanto a dumngeg kenka ni Faraon, isu nga iturongko ti imak iti Egipto ket iruarkonto dagiti bunggoy ti mannakigubatko, dagiti tattaok, dagiti kaputotan ni Israel manipud iti daga ti Egipto babaen iti panangiramid ti dakkel a pannakadusa.
Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt, and by mighty acts of judgment I will bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
5 Maammoanto dagiti Egipcio a siak ni Yahweh inton iyunnatko ti imak iti Egipto ken inton iruarko dagiti Israelita manipud kadakuada.”
And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.”
6 Inaramid ngarud da Moises ken Aaron daytoy; inaramidda daytoy kas imbilin ni Yahweh kadakuada.
So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.
7 Walo pulo ti tawen ni Moises ken walo pulo ket tallo ti tawen ni Aaron idi nakisaoda kenni Faraon.
Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Kinuna ni Yahweh kada Moises ken Aaron,
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
9 “No ibaga ni Faraon kadakayo, 'Agaramidkayo iti milagro,' ket ibagamto kenni Aaron, 'Alaem ti bastonmo ket ipuruakmo iti sangoanan ni Faraon, tapno agbalin daytoy nga uleg.'”
“When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ you are to say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a serpent.”
10 Ket napan da Moises ken Aaron kenni Faraon, ket inaramidda kas imbilin ni Yahweh. Impuruak ni Aaron ti bastonna iti sangoanan ni Faraon ken dagiti adipenna, ket nagbalin daytoy nga uleg.
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.
11 Kalpasanna, nangayab met ni Faraon kadagiti masirib a lallaki ken kadagiti manggagamud. Inaramidda ti isu met laeng a banag babaen iti panagsalamangkada.
But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.
12 Impuruak ti tunggal lalaki ti bastonna, ket nagbalin nga uleg dagiti baston. Ngem inalun-on ti baston ni Aaron dagiti ulegda.
Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.
13 Napatangken ti puso ni Faraon, ket saan a dimngeg, kas imbaga ni Yahweh.
Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
14 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Natangken ti puso ni Faraon, ket agkedked isuna a mangpalubos kadagiti tattao a pumanaw.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.
15 Mapanka kenni Faraon iti agsapa inton rummuar isuna a mapan ti danum. Agtakderka iti igid ti karayan a mangsabat kenkuana, ket alaem ti baston a nagbalin nga uleg.
Go to Pharaoh in the morning as you see him walking out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake.
16 Ibagam kenkuana, 'Ni Yahweh, ti Dios dagiti Hebreo ket imbaonnak a mangibaga kenka, “Palubosam dagiti tattaok a pumanaw, tapno makapagdayawda kaniak idiay let-ang. Agingga ita saanka a dimngeg.”
Then say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you: Let My people go, so that they may worship Me in the wilderness. But you have not listened until now.
17 Imbaga ni Yahweh daytoy: “Babaen iti daytoy ket maamoam a siak ni Yahweh. Abblatakto ti danum iti Karayan Nilo babaen iti baston nga ig-iggamak, ket agbalinto a dara ti karayan.
This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD. Behold, with the staff in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
18 Matayto dagiti lames nga adda iti karayan, ket bumangsitto ti karayan. Saanto a mabalin nga inumen dagiti Egipcio ti danum manipud iti karayan.””
The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”
19 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Ibagam kenni Aaron, 'Alaem ti bastonmo ket iyunnatmo ta imam kadagiti danum ti Egipto, ken kadagiti karayanda, waig, pagdigusan ken amin a lugnakda, tapno agbalin a dara dagiti danumda. Aramidem daytoy tapno addanto dara iti entero a daga ti Egipto, uray pay kadagiti pagkargaan a kayo ken bato.'”
And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers and canals and ponds and reservoirs—that they may become blood.’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the vessels of wood and stone.”
20 Inaramid da Moises ken Aaron ti imbilin ni Yahweh. Ingngato ni Aaron ti baston ket inablatanna ti danum ti karayan, iti imatang ni Faraon ken dagiti adipenna. Nagbalin a dara ti amin a danum iti karayan.
Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials, Aaron raised the staff and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was turned to blood.
21 Natay dagiti lames iti karayan, ken nangrugi a bimmangsit ti karayan. Saanen a makainum manipud iti karayan dagiti Egipcio, ken adda dara iti sadinnoman iti daga ti Egipto.
The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. And there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
22 Ngem inaramid dagiti salamangkero ti Egipto ti isu met laeng a banag babaen iti panagsalamangkada. Isu a napatangken ti puso ni Faraon, ket nagkedked isuna a dumngeg kada Moises ken Aaron, kas imbaga ni Yahweh a mapasamak.
But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
23 Kalpasanna, timmalikod ni Faraon ket napan iti balayna. Saanna pay nga impangag daytoy.
Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.
24 Nagkali dagiti amin nga Egipcio iti aglawlaw ti karayan para iti danum a mainum, ngem saanda a mainum ti mismo a danum ti karayan.
So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
25 Pito nga aldaw ti naglabas kalpasan a dinidigra ni Yahweh ti karayan.
And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
