Exodus 7
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac oru kom in oana God nu sel tokosra, ac Aaron, tamulel lom, ac fah kaskas nu sel oana mwet palu se lom.
The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2 Fahk nu sel Aaron ma nukewa nga sapkin nu sum uh, ac el ac fah fahk nu sel tokosra elan lela mwet Israel in som liki facl sel uh.
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 Tusruktu nga ac akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac finne pus mwe aksangeng nga orala in acn Egypt,
But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
4 el ac fah tiana lohng kom. Na nga fah sang mwe kai na upa nu fin acn Egypt ac kolla mwet in sruf nukewa luk liki facl sac.
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 Na mwet Egypt elos tufah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD, ke pacl se nga ac srukak pouk lainulos, ac kolla mwet Israel liki facl selos.”
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 Moses ac Aaron oru oana God El sapkin.
So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.
7 Ke pacl se eltal kaskas nu sel tokosra, Moses el yac oalngoul matwal, ac Aaron el yac oalngoul tolu.
Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron,
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
9 “Tokosra el fin sap komtal in oru sie mwenmen in akpwayeye kas lomtal uh, fahk nu sel Aaron elan srukak sikal lal ac sisya nu infohk uh ye mutal tokosra, na ac fah ekla nu ke wet soko.”
“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 Ouinge Moses ac Aaron som nu yorol tokosra, ac oru oana LEUM GOD El sap. Aaron el sisya sikal lal nu ye mutal tokosra ac mwet fulat lal, ac sikal soko ah ekla nu ke wet soko.
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 Na tokosra el pangonma mwet lalmwetmet ac mwet orek inutnut lal, ac elos oru oapana.
But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.
12 Elos sisya sikal lalos ah, ac sikal lalos uh ekla wet pac. Tusruktu sikal lal Aaron ah okomla sikal lalos ah.
Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.
13 Ne ouinge, nunak lal tokosra srakna upa, ac el tiana lohngol Moses ac Aaron, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk.
Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
14 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Arulana upa nunkal tokosra, ac el tiana lela mwet ah in som.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.
15 Ouinge fahla ac sonol lututang ke el ac tufokla nu ke Infacl Nile uh. Us sikal soko ma tuh ekla nu ke wet soko ah, ac soanel pe infacl ah.
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 Na kom fahk nu sel tokosra, ‘LEUM GOD lun mwet Hebrew El supweyume in fahkot nu sum kom in fuhlela mwet lal ah in som, tuh elos in ku in alu nu sel in acn mwesis. Tuh pa kom tiana akos.
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 Inge, Tokosra, LEUM GOD El fahk mu kom ac fah etu lah su El uh ke ma El ac oru. Liye, nga ac sringilya fin kof uh ke sikal soko inge, na kof uh ac fah ekla nu ke srah.
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 Ik infacl ah ac fah misa, ac infacl uh ac fah arulana pusrosrak, oru mwet Egypt ac fah tia ku in nim kof kac.’”
The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”
19 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Fahkang nu sel Aaron elan us sikal lal ah ac kolak ac asroela nu fin infacl nukewa, inyoa ac inlulu nukewa in acn Egypt. Kof uh ac fah ekla nu ke srah, na ac fah oasr srah yen nukewa, finne luin tup sak ac mwe neinyuk kof ma orek ke eot.”
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 Na Moses ac Aaron oru oana LEUM GOD El sapkakin. Ye mutun tokosra ac mwet fulat lal, Aaron el kolak sikal lal ac sringilya kof infacl ah, ac kof loac ekla nu ke srah.
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 Ik infacl ah misa, ac foul infacl uh arulana pusrosrak, oru mwet Egypt tiana ku in nim kof kac. Oasr srah yen nukewa in Egypt.
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 Na mwet inutnut lal tokosra orala mwenmen lalos ac sikyak oapana, ac nankal tokosra srakna upa. Oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, tokosra el tiana lohngol Moses ac Aaron.
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 El folokla nu inkul fulat sel, ac tiana lohang nu ke ma sikyak inge.
Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.
24 Mwet Egypt nukewa pikin pe infacl ah in suk kof in nimnim mweyen elos tia ku in nim kof ke infacl ah.
So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
25 Len itkosr somla tukun LEUM GOD El sringilya infacl ah.
And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
