Eksodosy 7
1 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro, efa nataoko andriamanitra ho an’ i Farao ianao; ary Arona rahalahinao kosa ho mpaminaninao.
Yahweh said to Moses, “See, I have made you like a god to Pharaoh. Aaron your brother will be your prophet.
2 Hianao hilaza izay rehetra nandidiako anao, ary Arona rahalahinao kosa hilaza amin’ i Farao, mba handefasany ny Zanak’ Isiraely hiala amin’ ny taniny,
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 Ary Izaho hanamafy ny fon’ i Farao sy hanamaro ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana izay hataoko eto amin’ ny tany Egypta.
But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and I will display many signs of my power, many wonders, in the land of Egypt.
4 Fa tsy hihaino anareo Farao, ka dia hamely an’ i Egypta ny tanako, ary fitsarana lehibe no hitondrako ny antokon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely oloko hiala amin’ ny tany Egypta.
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 Dia ho fantatry ny Egyptiana fa Izaho no Jehovah, rehefa maninjitra ny tanako amin’ i Egypta Aho ka mitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely hivoaka avy any.
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 Dia nataon’ i Mosesy sy Arona izany: araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah azy no nataony.
Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as Yahweh commanded them.
7 Ary efa valo-polo taona Mosesy, ary efa telo amby valo-polo taona kosa Arona, raha niteny tamin’ i Farao izy mirahalahy.
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona:
Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron,
9 Raha miteny aminareo Farao ka manao hoe: Manaova fahagagana hanambara anareo, dia lazao amin’ i Arona hoe: Raiso ny tehinao, ka atsipazo eo anatrehan’ i Farao, dia ho tonga menarana iny.
“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 Ary Mosesy sy Arona nankao amin’ i Farao ka nanao araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah; dia natsipin’ i Arona teo anatrehan’ i Farao sy teo anatrehan’ ny mpanompony ny tehiny, ka tonga menarana iny.
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 Dia nampanalain’ i Farao ny olon-kendry sy ny mpanana ody; ary ireo ombiasy teo Egypta ireo dia nanao toy izany tamin’ ny fankatovany.
Then Pharaoh also called for his wise men and sorcerers. They did the same thing by their magic.
12 Fa samy nanipy ny tehiny avy izy ireo, ka tonga menarana ireny; nefa ny tehin’ i Arona nitelina ny tehin’ ireo.
Each man threw down his staff, and the staffs became snakes. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their snakes.
13 Dia nihamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nihaino azy mirahalahy izy, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah.
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen, just as Yahweh had foretold.
14 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Efa mafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka mandà tsy handefa ny olona izy.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh's heart is hard, and he refuses to let the people go.
15 Mankanesa ao aminy ianao rahampitso; indro, hivoaka ho any amin’ ny rano izy; dia mijanona eo amoron’ i Neily ianao ambara-pihaviny (ary ny tehina, ilay novàna ho menarana, ho entinao eny an-tananao),
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 dia lazao aminy hoe: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo, no naniraka ahy nankaty aminao hanao hoe: Alefaso ny oloko mba hanompoany Ahy any an-efitra; fa, indro, tsy nihaino ianao mandraka ankehitriny.
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 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Izao no hahafantaranao fa Izaho no Jehovah: indro, ny tehiko etỳ an-tanako no hikapohako ny rano ao Neily, ka ho tonga rà izy.
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 Dia ho faty ny hazandrano ao Neily, ka ho maimbo Neily, ary tsy ho tian’ ny Egyptiana intsony ny hisotro ny rano ao.
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 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Lazao amin’ i Arona hoe: Raiso ny tehinao, ka ahinjiro ambonin’ ny ranon’ i Egypta ny tananao, dia ambonin’ ny sampan-dranony sy ambonin’ ny lahin-dranony, sy ambonin’ ny heniheniny, ary ambonin’ ny kamoriny rehetra, mba ho tonga rà ireny; ary hisy rà eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, na amin’ ny fitoeran-drano hazo na amin’ ny fitoeran-drano vato.
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 Ary nataon’ i Mosesy sy Arona izany, araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah; dia nanainga ny tehina izy ka namely ny rano tao Neily teo imason’ i Farao sy teo imason’ ny mpanompony, dia tonga rà ny rano rehetra tao Neily;
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 koa maty ny hazandrano izay tao Neily, dia maimbo Neily, ka tsy azon’ ny Egyptiana nosotroina ny rano avy ao; ary ny rà dia nanerana ny tany Egypta rehetra.
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 Ary ny ombiasy teo Egypta, dia mba nanao toy izany koa tamin’ ny fankatovany; ka dia nihamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nihaino azy mirahalahy izy, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah.
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 Dia niverina Farao ka nankao an-tranony, kanefa tsy mba nahoany akory, na dia izany aza.
Then Pharaoh turned and went into his house. He did not even pay attention to this.
24 Dia nihady rano hosotroiny teo amoron’ i Neily ny Egyptiana rehetra; fa tsy azony nisotroana ny rano tao Neily.
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink, but they could not drink the water of the river itself.
25 Ary nisy hafitoana taorian’ ny namelezan’ i Jehovah an’ i Neily.
Seven days passed after Yahweh had attacked the river.
