< 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “See, I have made you like a god to Pharaoh. Aaron your brother 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 will say everything that I command you to say. Aaron your brother will speak to Pharaoh so that he will let the people of Israel go from 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 I will display many signs of my power, many 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.
But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will put my hand on Egypt and bring out my groups of fighting men, my people, the descendants of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of punishment.
5 Maammoanto dagiti Egipcio a siak ni Yahweh inton iyunnatko ti imak iti Egipto ken inton iruarko dagiti Israelita manipud kadakuada.”
The Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I reach out with my hand on Egypt and bring out the Israelites from among them.”
6 Inaramid ngarud da Moises ken Aaron daytoy; inaramidda daytoy kas imbilin ni Yahweh kadakuada.
Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as Yahweh 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 eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Kinuna ni Yahweh kada Moises ken Aaron,
Yahweh said to Moses and to 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 says to you, 'Do a miracle,' then you will say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, so 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.
Then Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh, and they did just as Yahweh had commanded. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, 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 Pharaoh also called for his wise men and sorcerers. They did the same thing by their magic.
12 Impuruak ti tunggal lalaki ti bastonna, ket nagbalin nga uleg dagiti baston. Ngem inalun-on ti baston ni Aaron dagiti ulegda.
Each man threw down his staff, and the staffs became snakes. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their snakes.
13 Napatangken ti puso ni Faraon, ket saan a dimngeg, kas imbaga ni Yahweh.
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen, just as Yahweh had foretold.
14 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Natangken ti puso ni Faraon, ket agkedked isuna a mangpalubos kadagiti tattao a pumanaw.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh's heart is hard, and 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 when he goes out to the water. Stand on the riverbank to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that had turned 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.”
Say to him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you to say, “Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the wilderness. Until now you have not listened.”
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.
Yahweh says this: “By this you will know that I am Yahweh. I am going to strike the water of the Nile River with the staff that is in my hand, and the river will be turned 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 that are in the river will die, and the river will stink. The Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the 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.'”
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and reach out with your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers, streams, pools, and all their ponds, so that their water may become blood. Do this so that there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, even in containers 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 as Yahweh commanded. Aaron raised the staff and struck the water in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants. All the water in the river 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 river died, and the river began to stink. The Egyptians could not drink water from the river, and the blood was everywhere in 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 thing with their magic. So Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as Yahweh had said would happen.
23 Kalpasanna, timmalikod ni Faraon ket napan iti balayna. Saanna pay nga impangag daytoy.
Then Pharaoh turned and went into his house. He did not even pay attention to this.
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.
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink, but they could not drink the water of the river itself.
25 Pito nga aldaw ti naglabas kalpasan a dinidigra ni Yahweh ti karayan.
Seven days passed after Yahweh had attacked the river.
