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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen [carefully]. [Just like I enabled prophet to speak my messages], I will cause the king [to consider that] you are like a god, and that Aaron is like a 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 must tell everything I command you [to tell to your older] brother Aaron, and he will tell that to the king. He must tell the king to let the Israeli people leave his land.
3 Fe ho gàñeko hey ty arofo’ i Parò hampitomboako an-tane Mitsraime ao o vilokoo naho o halatsàko.
But I will make the king stubborn [IDM]. As a result, even though I perform many kinds of (miracles/terrifying things) [DOU] [here] in Egypt,
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.
the king will not pay any attention to what you say. Then I will punish [MTY] the people of Egypt [MTY] very severely [MTY], and I will lead/bring the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
5 Ho fohi’ o nte-Mitsraimeo te Izaho Iehovà, naho ahitiko amy Mitsraime ty sirako hampiavoteko boak’ am’ iereo ao o ana’ Israeleo.
Then, when I show my great power [MTY] to the Egyptian people and bring the Israeli people out from among them, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
6 Aa le nanoe’ i Mosè naho i Aharone; ze nandilia’ Iehovà iareo ty nanoe’ iereo.
Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh told them/us to do. They/We [went and spoke to the king].
7 Ni-valom-polo taoñe t’i Mosè naho aman-taoñe valom-polo-telo’ amby t’i Aharone t’ie nisaontsy amy Parò.
At that time, Moses/I was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 years old.
8 Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè naho i Aharone,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
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.
“If the king says to you, ‘Prove [that God sent] you by performing a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Throw your stick down in front of the king, in order that it may become 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.
So Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and did what Yahweh had commanded [them/us to do]. Aaron threw his stick down in front of the king and his officials, and it became a snake.
11 Kinai’ i Parò amy zao ondaty mahihitseo naho o mpamorekeo vaho nitoloñe an-tsahàtse o ambiasa’ i Mitsraimeo.
Then the king summoned his sorcerers and men who performed magic. They did the same thing, using their magic.
12 Songa nañifi-kobaiñe ambane eo vaho ninjare mereñe, le sindre natele’ ty kobai’ i Aharone o kobai’ iareoo.
They all threw down their sticks, and they became snakes. But Aaron’s stick, [which had become a snake], swallowed up all their sticks!
13 Fe nihagàñe avao ty arofo’ i Parò, tsy hinao’e iareo, amy nitsarae’ Iehovày.
But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], just as Yahweh had predicted, and he would not pay attention to [what Aaron and Moses/I said].
14 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, gañe ty arofo’ i Parò; ie mifoneñe tsy hampienga ondatio.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king is very stubborn [IDM]. He refuses to allow [my] people to 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 him as he is going down to the [Nile] River [to bathe]. Wait for him at the riverbank. [When he comes out of the water, show] him the stick, the one which became 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.
Say to him, ‘Yahweh God, the one [we] Hebrews [worship], sent me to you to tell you to let my people go, in order that they may worship him in the desert. [We told you that], but you have not paid any attention to it.
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.
[So now] Yahweh says this: “This is the way you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. Watch this: I am going to strike the water that is in the Nile [River] with the stick that is in my hand. [When I do that], the water will become blood (OR, [red like] blood [MTY]).
18 Ho mate ze fiañe amo sàkao le hitrotròtse i sàkay vaho hampangorý o nte-Mitsraimeo ty hinon-drano amy sàkay.
Then the fish in the Nile [River] will die, and the [water in] the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the Nile River.”’”
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.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[When you are talking to the king], say to Aaron, ‘Hold your stick out [as though you were holding it] over the water in Egypt—over the rivers, the canals, the ponds, and over the pools of water, in order that [all of it] may become [red like] blood.’ When Aaron does that, there will be blood throughout Egypt, even in wooden jars and in stone jars.”
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;
So Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. As the king and his officials were watching, Aaron lifted up his stick and then struck the water in the Nile [River] with it. And all the water in the river turned [red like] 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.
Then all the fish died. And the water stank, with the result that the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. Everywhere in Egypt [the water] became [red like] blood.
22 Fe tsinikombe’ o ambiasa’ i Mitsraimeo an-tsahàtse, le nihagàñe ty arofo’ i Parò naho nihiritsirita’e, amy nitsarae’ Iehovày.
But the men who performed magic did the same thing using their magic. So the king remained stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/I said, just as Yahweh had predicted.
23 Te mone nitolike t’i Parò, nimoak’ añ’anjomba’e ao, tsy nihaoñe’ ty arofo’e i raha zay.
The king turned and went back to his palace, and he did not think any more about it [IDM].
24 Aa le fonga nihaly vovoñe añ’olo’ i sàkay o nte-Mitsraimeo, fa tsy nimete nòmeñe ty rano’ i sàkay.
The Egyptians [HYP] dug [into the ground] near the Nile [River] to get water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
25 Ie nimodo ty fito andro le nipaoha’ Iehovà i sàkay,
(One week/Seven days) passed after Yahweh caused the water in the Nile [River to become red like blood].
