Baʼuu 7
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ilaa, ani Faraʼooniif waaqa si godheera; obboleessi kee Aroon immoo raajii siif taʼa.
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 Ati waan ani si ajaju hunda ni dubbata; obboleessi kee Aroon immoo akka inni Israaʼeloota biyya isaa keessaa gad dhiisu Faraʼoonitti ni hima.
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 Ani garuu Faraʼoonin mata jabeessa nan godha; yoo ani biyya Gibxi keessatti mallattoowwanii fi dinqiiwwan koo baayʼise iyyuu,
And I will harden the heart of Pharao, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 inni isin hin dhaggeeffatu. Ani harka koo Gibxi irratti ol nan kaasa; murtii jabaadhaanis raayyaa koo, saba Israaʼel biyya Gibxi keessaa nan baasa.
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 Warri Gibxi yommuu ani harka koo Gibxi irratti ol kaafadhee saba Israaʼel achi keessaa baasutti akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.”
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 Musee fi Aroonis akkuma Waaqayyo isaan ajaje godhan.
And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
7 Yeroo Faraʼoonitti dubbatanitti Museen nama waggaa saddeettama ture; Aroon immoo nama waggaa saddeettamii sadii ture.
And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron his brother was eighty-three years old, when he spoke to Pharao.
8 Waaqayyos Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
9 “Yommuu Faraʼoon, ‘Dinqii hojjedhaa’ isiniin jedhutti, ati immoo Arooniin, ‘Ulee kee fuudhiitii fuula Faraʼoon duratti lafa buusi’ jetta; uleen sunis bofa taʼa.”
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 Musee fi Aroon Faraʼoon bira dhaqanii akkuma Waaqayyo isaan ajaje sana godhan. Aroon fuula Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltota isaa duratti ulee isaa lafa buuse; uleen sunis bofa taate.
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 Faraʼoonis beektotaa fi falfaltoota ofitti waame; tolfattoonni Gibxi ogummaa isaanii dhokataa sanaan akkasuma godhan.
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 Tokkoon tokkoon isaanii ulee isaanii lafa buusan; uleen isaaniis bofa taʼe. Uleen Aroon garuu ulee isaanii liqimsite.
And they cast down each his rod, and they became serpents, but the rod of Aaron swallowed up their rods.
13 Taʼus Faraʼoon akkuma Waaqayyo dubbate sana mata jabeessa taʼee isaan dhaggeeffachuu dide.
and the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord charged them.
14 Kana irratti Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Faraʼoon mata jabeessa taʼeera; saba sanas gad dhiisuu dide.
and the Lord said to Moses, The heart of Pharao is made hard, so that he should not let the people go.
15 Ganamaan gara Faraʼoon dhaqi; kunoo inni bishaanitti gad baʼa. Ulee bofatti geeddaramte sana harkatti qabadhuutii qarqara laga Abbayyaatti isa eegi.
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 Akkanas jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni Ibrootaa akkana jedhee sitti na ergeera: Akka sabni koo dhaqee gammoojjii keessatti naaf sagaduuf gad lakkisi. Ati garuu hamma ammaatti ajajamuu diddeerta.
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 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ati kanaan beekta: Kunoo ani ulee harka koo keessa jiru kanaan bishaan Abbayyaa nan dhaʼa; bishaan sunis dhiigatti geeddarama.
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 Qurxummiiwwan laga Abbayyaa keessaa ni duʼu; lagni sunis ni ajaaʼa; warri Gibxis bishaan laga sanaa dhuguu hin dandaʼan.’”
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 Waaqayyo immoo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Arooniin akkana jedhi; ‘Ulee kee qabadhuutii bishaanota Gibxi irratti, lageen isaanii irratti, doloolloo isaanii irratti, haroo isaaniitii fi kuusaa bishaanii hunda irratti harka kee diriirsi.’ Isaanis dhiigatti geeddaramu. Gibxi guutuun dhiigaan guutama; qodaan mukaatii fi okkoteen dhagaa dhiigaan guutaman.”
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 Musee fi Aroon akkuma Waaqayyo isaan ajaje sana godhan. Aroon ulee isaa ol fuudhee fuula Faraʼooniitii fi qondaaltota isaa duratti bishaan Abbayyaa dhaʼe; bishaan sun hundis dhiigatti geeddarame.
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 Qurxummiiwwan Abbayyaa duunaan lagichi ajaaʼe; warri Gibxis bishaan isaa dhuguu hin dandeenye. Gibxi guutuunis dhiigaan guutame.
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 Garuu tolfattoonni Gibxi tolcha isaaniitiin akkasuma hojjetan; Faraʼoonis mata jabeessa taʼe. Innis akkuma Waaqayyo jedhe sana Musee fi Aroon dhagaʼuu dide.
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 Faraʼoonis deebiʼee masaraa isaa seene; innis waan kana yaadatti illee hin qabanne.
And Pharao turned and entered into his house, nor did he fix his attention even on this thing.
24 Warri Gibxi hundi waan bishaan laga sanaa dhuguu hin dandaʼiniif bishaan dhugaatii baafachuuf jedhanii qarqara Abbayyaa qotatan.
And all the Egyptians dug round about the river, so as to drink water, for they could not drink water from the river.
25 Erga Waaqayyo Abbayyaan dhaʼee guyyaan torba darbe.
and seven days were fulfilled after the Lord has struck the river.
