< 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.
And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy 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.
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 Tusruktu nga ac akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac finne pus mwe aksangeng nga orala in acn Egypt,
And I will render Pharaoh's heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my 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.
And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
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 shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Moses ac Aaron oru oana God El sapkin.
And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they.
7 Ke pacl se eltal kaskas nu sel tokosra, Moses el yac oalngoul matwal, ac Aaron el yac oalngoul tolu.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
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 shall speak to you, saying, Do a miracle for yourselves, — then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast [it] before Pharaoh — 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.
And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his bondmen, and it became a serpent.
11 Na tokosra el pangonma mwet lalmwetmet ac mwet orek inutnut lal, ac elos oru oapana.
And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments:
12 Elos sisya sikal lalos ah, ac sikal lalos uh ekla wet pac. Tusruktu sikal lal Aaron ah okomla sikal lalos ah.
they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.
13 Ne ouinge, nunak lal tokosra srakna upa, ac el tiana lohngol Moses ac Aaron, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk.
And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.
14 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Arulana upa nunkal tokosra, ac el tiana lela mwet ah in som.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened: he refuseth 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 unto Pharaoh in the morning — behold, he will go out unto the water — and take thy stand by the bank of the river in front of him; and take in thy hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.
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.
And say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; but behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.
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.
Thus saith Jehovah: In this shalt thou know that I am Jehovah — behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water which is in the river, and it shall be turned into 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.’”
And the fish that is in the river shall die; and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water out of the river.
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 Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of the Egyptians — upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood and in [vessels of] 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.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his bondmen; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into 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.
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and the blood was 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.
And the scribes of Egypt did so with their sorceries; and Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, neither did he hearken to them, as Jehovah had said.
23 El folokla nu inkul fulat sel, ac tiana lohang nu ke ma sikyak inge.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and took not this to heart either.
24 Mwet Egypt nukewa pikin pe infacl ah in suk kof in nimnim mweyen elos tia ku in nim kof ke infacl ah.
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 Len itkosr somla tukun LEUM GOD El sringilya infacl ah.
And seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river.
