Okuva 7
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Laba, nkufudde nga Katonda awali Falaawo, ne muganda wo Alooni y’ajja okubeera nnabbi wo.
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'See, I have set thee in God's stead to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Ojjanga kwogera bye nkulagira, ne muganda wo Alooni ayogere ne Falaawo asobole okuleka abaana ba Isirayiri bave mu nsi ye.
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 Naye ndikakanyaza omutima gwa Falaawo; ne bwe ndikolera ebyamagero ebingi ennyo mu nsi y’e Misiri,
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 tagenda kubawuliriza. Ndirumba Misiri n’amaanyi, ne ngisalira omusango, ne ndyoka nzigyayo abantu bange Abayisirayiri bonna.
But 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 Era Abamisiri balitegeera nti Nze Mukama, bwe ndirumba Misiri n’amaanyi ne nzigyayo Abayisirayiri.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.'
6 Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira.
And Moses and Aaron did so; as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7 We baayogerera ne Falaawo, Musa yali aweza emyaka kinaana egy’obukulu, ne Alooni ng’aweza emyaka kinaana mu esatu.
And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
8 Mukama n’agamba Musa ne Alooni nti,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
9 “Falaawo bw’anaabagamba nti, ‘Mukoleeyo ekyamagero,’ nga ggwe ogamba Alooni nti, ‘Ddira omuggo gwo ogusuule wansi awali Falaawo,’ era gunaafuuka omusota.”
'When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying: Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'
10 Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bagenda ewa Falaawo, ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira. Alooni n’asuula omuggo gwe wansi awali Falaawo n’abaweereza be, ne gufuuka omusota.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Falaawo naye n’atumya basajja be abagezigezi, n’abalogo; abakujjukujju abo Abamisiri ne bakola ekintu kye kimu mu magezi gaabwe ag’ekyama.
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts.
12 Kubanga nabo baasuula wansi emiggo gyabwe, ne gifuuka emisota; naye omuggo gwa Alooni ne gumira emiggo gyabwe.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents; but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Naye era omutima gwa Falaawo ne gukakanyala, nga Mukama bwe yali agambye.
And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
14 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Omutima gwa Falaawo gukakanyadde, era agaanye okuleka abantu okugenda.
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Pharaoh's heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Mu makya genda eri Falaawo ng’afuluma okulaga ku mazzi, omulindirire ku lubalama lw’omugga Kiyira. Era twala n’omuggo ogwafuuka omusota.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.
16 Olyoke omugambe nti, ‘Mukama Katonda wa Abaebbulaniya yantuma gy’oli ng’agamba nti, Leka abantu bange bajje mu ddungu bansinze; naye, laba, n’okutuusa leero okyagaanyi okuŋŋondera.’
And thou shalt say unto him: The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying: Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness; and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened;
17 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Ku kino kw’olitegeerera nga nze Mukama: laba ndikuba ku mazzi agali mu mugga, n’omuggo oguli mu mukono gwange, era galifuuka musaayi,
thus saith the LORD: In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD — behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 n’ebyennyanja ebiri mu mugga birifa, n’omugga guliwunya; era n’Abamisiri nga tebakyayagala kunywa ku mazzi gaagwo.’”
And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.'
19 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Tegeeza Alooni nti, ‘Twala omuggo gwo ogwolekeze amazzi gonna mu Misiri: ku migga gyabwe, n’emikutu gyabwe, n’obuyanja bwabwe, n’ebidiba byabwe, byonna bifuuke musaayi. Era wagenda kubeerawo omusaayi mu nsi yonna ey’e Misiri: mu ntiba ez’emiti ne mu matogero ag’amayinja.’”
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'
20 Awo Musa ne Alooni ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira. Alooni n’addira omuggo gwe n’akuba ku mazzi ag’omu mugga, nga Falaawo n’abaweereza be balaba; amazzi gonna ag’omu mugga ne gafuuka omusaayi.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 Era n’ebyennyanja byonna mu mugga Kiyira ne bifa. Omugga ne guwunya, Abamisiri nga tebakyasobola kunywa mazzi ga mu mugga Kiyira; omusaayi ne gubuna wonna mu nsi y’e Misiri.
And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Abalogo ab’omu Misiri nabo ne bakola bwe batyo mu magezi gaabwe ag’ekyama. Omutima gwa Falaawo ne gweyongera okukakanyala, ebya Musa ne Alooni n’atabiwuliriza era nga Mukama bwe yali agambye;
And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
23 n’akyuka ne yeddirayo mu lubiri lwe, nga byonna ebibaddewo tabissizzaako mwoyo.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
24 Abamisiri bonna ne basimaasima okumpi n’omugga nga banoonya amazzi ag’okunywa, kubanga amazzi g’omu mugga nga tegakyanyweka.
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Awo ne wayitawo ennaku musanvu okuva ku lunaku Mukama lwe yakubirako omugga.
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
