Eksodosy 7
1 Hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Hehe t’ie najadoko ho fanalolahy amy Parò, vaho ho mpitoki’o t’i Aharone rahalahi’o.
The Lord told Moses, “Look, I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2 Hene isaontsio ze taroñeko ama’o, le i Aharone rahalahi’o ty hisaontsy amy Parò hampiavote’e an-tane’e o ana’ Israeleo.
You are to repeat everything that I tell you to say, and your brother Aaron must repeat it to Pharaoh so that he will let the Israelites leave his country.
3 Fe ho gàñeko hey ty arofo’ i Parò hampitomboako an-tane Mitsraime ao o vilokoo naho o halatsàko.
But I will give Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and though I will perform many signs and wonders in Egypt, he won't listen to you.
4 Toe tsy hañaoñe anahareo t’i Parò, le hapaoko amy Mitsraime ty tañako vaho hampiavoteko an-tane Mitsraime an-jaka ra’elahy o valobohòkoo, ondatikoo, o ana’ Israeleo.
Then I will attack Egypt, imposing heavy punishments on them, and I will lead out by their tribes my people the Israelites.
5 Ho fohi’ o nte-Mitsraimeo te Izaho Iehovà, naho ahitiko amy Mitsraime ty sirako hampiavoteko boak’ am’ iereo ao o ana’ Israeleo.
In this way the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord—when I take action against Egypt and lead the Israelites out of the country.”
6 Aa le nanoe’ i Mosè naho i Aharone; ze nandilia’ Iehovà iareo ty nanoe’ iereo.
Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered.
7 Ni-valom-polo taoñe t’i Mosè naho aman-taoñe valom-polo-telo’ amby t’i Aharone t’ie nisaontsy amy Parò.
Moses was eighty and Aaron was eighty-three when they went and spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè naho i Aharone,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
9 Ie anoa’ i Parò ty hoe, Ampiboaho raha tsitantane, le hoe ty ho asa’o amy Aharone, Rambeso ty kobai’o vaho afetsaho añatrefa’ i Parò hinjarea’e fañaneñe.
“When Pharaoh asks you, ‘Why don't you perform a miracle, then?’ tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick and throw it down in front of Pharaoh,’ and it will turn into a snake.”
10 Aa le nimb’ amy Parò mb’eo t’i Mosè naho i Aharone, le nanoe’ iereo i nandilia’ Iehovày; nafetsa’ i Aharone añatrefa’ i Parò naho aolo’ o mpitoro’eo i kobai’ey vaho ninjare bajy.
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had ordered. Aaron threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it turned into a snake.
11 Kinai’ i Parò amy zao ondaty mahihitseo naho o mpamorekeo vaho nitoloñe an-tsahàtse o ambiasa’ i Mitsraimeo.
But Pharaoh called in wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts.
12 Songa nañifi-kobaiñe ambane eo vaho ninjare mereñe, le sindre natele’ ty kobai’ i Aharone o kobai’ iareoo.
Each of them threw down their walking sticks and they also turned into snakes, but Aaron's walking stick swallowed up all their walking sticks.
13 Fe nihagàñe avao ty arofo’ i Parò, tsy hinao’e iareo, amy nitsarae’ Iehovày.
But Pharaoh had a hard, stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't listen to them, as the Lord had predicted.
14 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, gañe ty arofo’ i Parò; ie mifoneñe tsy hampienga ondatio.
The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh has a stubborn attitude—he's refusing to let the people go.
15 Aa le akia, mb’ amy Parò mb’eo maraindray t’ie miavotse mb’an-drano mb’eo, le tintino am-pità’o i kobaiñe nampanjarieñe fañaneñey,
So tomorrow morning go to Pharaoh as he walks down to the river. Wait to meet him on the bank of the Nile. Take with you the walking stick that turned into a snake.
16 le isaontsio ty hoe, Nañirak’ ahy homb’ ama’o mb’ etoa t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ o nte-Evreo hinday o entañe zao: Apoho hañavelo ondatikoo, hitoroñe ahy am-patrambey añe. Inao t’ie mbe tsy nañaoñe pake henane.
Tell him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you, ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me in the desert. But you have not listened up until now.
17 Aa hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà, Zao ty hahafohina’o te izaho Iehovà. Inao, havangoko amo rano amy sàkaio ty kobaiñe an-tañako toy, hiova’e ho lio.
This is what the Lord is now telling you: This is how you will know that I am the Lord.’” “Watch! Using the walking stick I'm holding, I'm going to hit the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
18 Ho mate ze fiañe amo sàkao le hitrotròtse i sàkay vaho hampangorý o nte-Mitsraimeo ty hinon-drano amy sàkay.
The fish in the Nile will die, the river will smell, and the Egyptians won't be able to drink any of its water.”
19 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Saontsio t’i Aharone, Rambeso o kobai’oo le ahitio ambone’ o rano’ i Mitsraimeo ty fità’o, ambone’ o saka’eo naho o talaha’eo naho o sihana’eo vaho ze hene kiantara-antaran-drano’e, hiova’e ho lio, le lio avao ty hanitsike ty tane Mitsraime, ndra an-tsajoa hatae ndra am-bato.
The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick in your hand and hold it out over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers and canals and ponds and pools, so that they will turn to blood. There will be blood through all of Egypt, even in containers made of wood and stone.’”
20 Nanoe’ i Mosè naho i Aharone hambañe amy nandilia’ Iehovày. Naonjo’e am-pahaisaha’ i Parò naho o mpitoro’eo i kobai’ey vaho trinàbo’e ty rano amy sakay, le niova ho lio ze hene rano amy sakay;
Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered. While Pharaoh and all his officials watched, Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the water of the Nile. Immediately the whole river turned to blood!
21 nimate o fiañe amy sakaio, le nañantifofotse i sakay naho tsy nahay nikama ty rano’ i sàkay o nte-Mitsraimeo fa nitsitsike lio ty tane Mitsraime.
The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so awful that the Egyptians could not drink its water. There was blood through all of Egypt!
22 Fe tsinikombe’ o ambiasa’ i Mitsraimeo an-tsahàtse, le nihagàñe ty arofo’ i Parò naho nihiritsirita’e, amy nitsarae’ Iehovày.
But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. Pharaoh maintained his stubborn attitude and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
23 Te mone nitolike t’i Parò, nimoak’ añ’anjomba’e ao, tsy nihaoñe’ ty arofo’e i raha zay.
Pharaoh went back to his palace and didn't pay any attention to what had happened.
24 Aa le fonga nihaly vovoñe añ’olo’ i sàkay o nte-Mitsraimeo, fa tsy nimete nòmeñe ty rano’ i sàkay.
All the Egyptians dug alongside the Nile because they couldn't drink its water.
25 Ie nimodo ty fito andro le nipaoha’ Iehovà i sàkay,
Seven days went by after the Lord hit the Nile.
