Kobima 7
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Tala, nakomisi yo nzambe liboso ya Faraon, mpe Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, akozala mosakoli na yo.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, I have made you a god to Pharao, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 Okoloba makambo nyonso oyo natindi yo; mpe Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, akoyebisa yango epai ya Faraon mpo ete Faraon abimisa bana ya Isalaele na mokili na ye.
And you shall say to him all things that I charge you, and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharao, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of his land.
3 Kasi Ngai, nakokomisa motema ya Faraon makasi lokola libanga, nakosala bilembo mpe bikamwa ebele na Ejipito.
And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 Atako bongo, Faraon akoyokela bino te. Boye, nakosembola loboko na Ngai kati na Ejipito; mpe na nzela ya bitumbu minene, nakobimisa wuta na Ejipito mampinga na Ngai, bato na Ngai, bana ya Isalaele.
And Pharao will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt; and will bring out my people the children of Israel with my power out of the land of Egypt with great vengeance.
5 Bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete nazali Yawe tango nakosembola loboko na Ngai kati na mokili na bango mpe nakobimisa bana ya Isalaele wuta na Ejipito. »
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, stretching out my hand upon Egypt, and I will bring out the children of Israel out of the midst of them.
6 Moyize mpe Aron basalaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki bango.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
7 Tango basololaki na Faraon, Moyize azalaki na mibu ya mbotama tuku mwambe; mpe Aron, tuku mwambe na misato.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron his brother was eighty-three years old, when he spoke to Pharao.
8 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
9 « Tango Faraon akoloba na bino: ‹ Bosala bikamwa, › yo Moyize, okoloba na Aron: ‹ Kamata lingenda na yo, bwaka yango liboso ya Faraon, › mpe lingenda ekobongwana nyoka. »
Now if Pharao should speak to you, saying, Give us a sign or a wonder, then shall you say to your brother Aaron, Take your rod and cast it upon the ground before Pharao, and before his servants, and it shall become a serpent.
10 Boye Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki epai ya Faraon mpe basalaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki bango. Aron abwakaki lingenda na ye liboso ya Faraon mpe bakalaka na ye, mpe yango ebongwanaki nyoka.
And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharao, and [before] his servants, and they did so, as the Lord commanded them; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharao, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Faraon abengisaki bato ya bwanya mpe bato ya soloka. Bongo bato ya maji ya Ejipito, bango mpe basalaki bikamwa ya ndenge moko na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka.
But Pharao called together the wise men of Egypt, and the sorcerers, and the charmers also of the Egyptians did likewise with their sorceries.
12 Moko na moko kati na bango abwakaki lingenda na ye na mabele mpe ebongwanaki nyoka. Kasi lingenda ya Aron emelaki mangenda na bango.
And they cast down each his rod, and they became serpents, but the rod of Aaron swallowed up their rods.
13 Atako bongo, motema ya Faraon ekomaki lisusu makasi; mpe aboyaki koyokela bango, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord charged them.
14 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Motema ya Faraon ezali kaka makasi, aboyi kaka kotika bato na Ngai kokende.
and the Lord said to Moses, The heart of Pharao is made hard, so that he should not let the people go.
15 Kende epai ya Faraon na tongo-tongo, na tango oyo abimaka mpo na kokende na mayi. Zela ye pembeni ya Nili mpo na kokutana na ye mpe simba na loboko na yo lingenda oyo ebongwanaki nyoka.
Go to Pharao early in the morning: behold, he goes forth to the water; and you shall meet him on the bank of the river, and you shall take in your hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.
16 Bongo okoloba na ye: ‹ Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, atindi ngai epai na yo mpo na koyebisa yo: ‘Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai na esobe. Kasi kino lelo, ozali kaka koyoka te.
And you shall say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Send my people away, that they may serve me in the wilderness, and, behold, hitherto you have not listened.
17 Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Tala ndenge nini okoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe: Nakobeta na mayi ya Nili lingenda oyo nazali na yango na maboko, mpe mayi yango ekobongwana makila.
These things says the Lord: Hereby shall you know that I am the Lord: behold, I strike with the rod that is in my hand on the water which is in the river, and it shall change it into blood.
18 Mbisi ya Nili ekokufa mpe mayi ya Nili ekokoma solo ya kopola, bongo bato ya Ejipito bakokoka lisusu komela yango te.’ › »
And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall stink thereupon, and the Egyptians shall not be able to drink water from the river.
19 Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Yebisa Aron: ‹ Kamata lingenda na yo mpe sembola yango na ngambo ya mayi nyonso ya Ejipito: etima mpe miluka, maziba mpe mabulu nyonso ya mayi ekobongwana makila. › Makila ekozala na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito kino na bimelelo ya mayi oyo esalema na nzete to na mabanga. »
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to your brother Aaron, Take your rod in your hand, and stretch forth your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers, and over their canals, and over their ponds, and over all their standing water, and it shall become blood: and there was blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone.
20 Moyize mpe Aron basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki bango. Aron atombolaki nzete na ye mpe abetaki lingenda oyo azalaki na yango, na mayi ya Nili na miso ya Faraon mpe ya basali na ye; mpe mayi nyonso ebongwanaki makila.
and Moses and Aaron did so, as the Lord commanded them; and [Aaron] having lifted up [his hand] with his rod, struck the water in the river before Pharao, and before his servants, and changed all the water in the river into blood.
21 Mbisi ya Nili ekufaki mpe mayi elumbaki solo ya kopola na ndenge ete bato ya Ejipito bakokaki lisusu te komela yango. Makila ezalaki na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito.
And the fish in the river died, and the river stank thereupon; and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river, and the blood was in all the land of Egypt.
22 Kasi bato ya maji ya Ejipito, bango mpe basalaki bikamwa ya ndenge moko na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka. Motema ya Faraon ekomaki lisusu makasi mpe aboyaki koyokela Moyize mpe Aron ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
And the charmers also of the Egyptians did so with their sorceries; and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not listen to them, even as the Lord said.
23 Atako bongo, Faraon abalukaki, akotaki na ndako na ye mpe azwaki likambo yango na motema te.
And Pharao turned and entered into his house, nor did he fix his attention even on this thing.
24 Bato nyonso ya Ejipito batimolaki mabulu pene ya Nili mpo na kozwa mayi ya komela, pamba te bakokaki lisusu te komela mayi ya ebale.
And all the Egyptians dug round about the river, so as to drink water, for they could not drink water from the river.
25 Mikolo sambo elekaki sima na Yawe kobebisa mayi ya Nili.
and seven days were fulfilled after the Lord has struck the river.
