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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen [carefully]. [Just like I enabled prophet to speak my messages], I will cause the king [to consider that] you are like a god, and that Aaron is like a 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 must tell everything I command you [to tell to your older] brother Aaron, and he will tell that to the king. He must tell the king to let the Israeli people leave 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 make the king stubborn [IDM]. As a result, even though I perform many kinds of (miracles/terrifying things) [DOU] [here] in 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.
the king will not pay any attention to what you say. Then I will punish [MTY] the people of Egypt [MTY] very severely [MTY], and I will lead/bring the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
5 Maammoanto dagiti Egipcio a siak ni Yahweh inton iyunnatko ti imak iti Egipto ken inton iruarko dagiti Israelita manipud kadakuada.”
Then, when I show my great power [MTY] to the Egyptian people and bring the Israeli people out from among them, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
6 Inaramid ngarud da Moises ken Aaron daytoy; inaramidda daytoy kas imbilin ni Yahweh kadakuada.
Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh told them/us to do. They/We [went and spoke to the king].
7 Walo pulo ti tawen ni Moises ken walo pulo ket tallo ti tawen ni Aaron idi nakisaoda kenni Faraon.
At that time, Moses/I was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 years old.
8 Kinuna ni Yahweh kada Moises ken Aaron,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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.'”
“If the king says to you, ‘Prove [that God sent] you by performing a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Throw your stick down in front of the king, in order that it may become a snake.’”
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 Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and did what Yahweh had commanded [them/us to do]. Aaron threw his stick down in front of the king and his officials, and it became a snake.
11 Kalpasanna, nangayab met ni Faraon kadagiti masirib a lallaki ken kadagiti manggagamud. Inaramidda ti isu met laeng a banag babaen iti panagsalamangkada.
Then the king summoned his sorcerers and men who performed magic. They did the same thing, using their magic.
12 Impuruak ti tunggal lalaki ti bastonna, ket nagbalin nga uleg dagiti baston. Ngem inalun-on ti baston ni Aaron dagiti ulegda.
They all threw down their sticks, and they became snakes. But Aaron’s stick, [which had become a snake], swallowed up all their sticks!
13 Napatangken ti puso ni Faraon, ket saan a dimngeg, kas imbaga ni Yahweh.
But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], just as Yahweh had predicted, and he would not pay attention to [what Aaron and Moses/I said].
14 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Natangken ti puso ni Faraon, ket agkedked isuna a mangpalubos kadagiti tattao a pumanaw.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king is very stubborn [IDM]. He refuses to allow [my] people to 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.
So [tomorrow] morning, go to him as he is going down to the [Nile] River [to bathe]. Wait for him at the riverbank. [When he comes out of the water, show] him the stick, the one which became 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.”
Say to him, ‘Yahweh God, the one [we] Hebrews [worship], sent me to you to tell you to let my people go, in order that they may worship him in the desert. [We told you that], but you have not paid any attention to it.
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.
[So now] Yahweh says this: “This is the way you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. Watch this: I am going to strike the water that is in the Nile [River] with the stick that is in my hand. [When I do that], the water will become blood (OR, [red like] blood [MTY]).
18 Matayto dagiti lames nga adda iti karayan, ket bumangsitto ti karayan. Saanto a mabalin nga inumen dagiti Egipcio ti danum manipud iti karayan.””
Then the fish in the Nile [River] will die, and the [water in] the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the Nile River.”’”
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.'”
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[When you are talking to the king], say to Aaron, ‘Hold your stick out [as though you were holding it] over the water in Egypt—over the rivers, the canals, the ponds, and over the pools of water, in order that [all of it] may become [red like] blood.’ When Aaron does that, there will be blood throughout Egypt, even in wooden jars and in stone jars.”
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.
So Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. As the king and his officials were watching, Aaron lifted up his stick and then struck the water in the Nile [River] with it. And all the water in the river turned [red like] 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.
Then all the fish died. And the water stank, with the result that the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. Everywhere in Egypt [the water] became [red like] blood.
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 men who performed magic did the same thing using their magic. So the king remained stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/I said, just as Yahweh had predicted.
23 Kalpasanna, timmalikod ni Faraon ket napan iti balayna. Saanna pay nga impangag daytoy.
The king turned and went back to his palace, and he did not think any more about it [IDM].
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.
The Egyptians [HYP] dug [into the ground] near the Nile [River] to get 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.
(One week/Seven days) passed after Yahweh caused the water in the Nile [River to become red like blood].
