< Exodus 7 >

1 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Wò ó, Èmi ti ṣe ọ bí Ọlọ́run fún Farao, Aaroni arákùnrin rẹ ni yóò jẹ́ agbẹnusọ rẹ.
Yahweh said to Moses, “See, I have made you like a god to Pharaoh. Aaron your brother will be your prophet.
2 Ìwọ yóò sì sọ ohun gbogbo tí Èmi ti pàṣẹ fún ọ, Aaroni arákùnrin rẹ yóò sísọ fún Farao kí ó jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò sé Farao lọ́kàn le. Bí Mo tilẹ̀ ṣe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iṣẹ́ àmì àti ìyanu ni Ejibiti,
But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and I will display many signs of my power, many wonders, in the land of Egypt.
4 síbẹ̀ òun kì yóò fi etí sí ọ. Nígbà náà ni Èmi yóò gbé ọwọ́ mi lé Ejibiti, pẹ̀lú agbára ìdájọ́ ńlá mi ni èmi yóò mú àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli jáde ní ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́.
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 Àwọn ará Ejibiti yóò sì mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa ní ìgbà tí mo bá na ọwọ́ mi jáde lé Ejibiti, tí mo sì mú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde kúrò níbẹ̀.”
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 Mose àti Aaroni sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún wọn.
Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as Yahweh commanded them.
7 Mose jẹ́ ọmọ ọgọ́rin ọdún Aaroni sì jẹ́ ọmọ ọdún mẹ́tàlélọ́gọ́rin ni ìgbà tí wọ́n bá Farao sọ̀rọ̀.
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Olúwa sọ fún Mose àti Aaroni,
Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron,
9 “Ní ìgbà tí Farao bá sọ fún un yín pé, ‘Ẹ ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu kan,’ sọ fún Aaroni ní ìgbà náà pé, ‘Mú ọ̀pá rẹ kí ó sì sọ ọ́ sílẹ̀ níwájú Farao,’ yóò sì di ejò.”
“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 Nígbà náà ni Mose àti Aaroni tọ Farao lọ, wọ́n sì ṣe bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún wọn, Aaroni ju ọ̀pá rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní iwájú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, ọ̀pá náà sì di ejò.
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 Farao sì pe àwọn amòye, àwọn oṣó àti àwọn onídán ilẹ̀ Ejibiti jọ, wọ́n sì fi idán wọn ṣe ohun tí Mose àti Aaroni ṣe.
Then Pharaoh also called for his wise men and sorcerers. They did the same thing by their magic.
12 Ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan wọn sọ ọ̀pá rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ọ̀pá náà sì di ejò. Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀pá Aaroni gbé ọ̀pá tiwọn mì.
Each man threw down his staff, and the staffs became snakes. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their snakes.
13 Síbẹ̀ ọkàn Farao sì yigbì, kò si fetí sí wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ.
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen, just as Yahweh had foretold.
14 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Ọkàn Farao ti di líle, ó kọ̀ láti jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn náà ó lọ.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh's heart is hard, and he refuses to let the people go.
15 Tọ Farao lọ ni òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù bí ó ti ń lọ sí etí odò, dúró ni etí bèbè odò Naili láti pàdé rẹ, mú ọ̀pá rẹ tí ó di ejò ni ọwọ́ rẹ.
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 Sọ fún un pé, ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn Heberu rán mi sí ọ láti sọ fún ọ pé, Jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn mi kí ó lọ, kí wọn kí ó lè sìn mi ni aginjù. Ṣùgbọ́n títí di àkókò yìí, ìwọ kò gba.
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 Èyí ni Olúwa wí, nípa èyí ni ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa. Wò ó, èmi yóò fi ọ̀pá ti ó wà ní ọwọ́ mi, èmi yóò ná omi tí ó wà nínú odò Naili yóò sì di ẹ̀jẹ̀.
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 Àwọn ẹja tí ó wà nínú odò Naili yóò kú, odò náà yóò sì máa rùn, àwọn ará Ejibiti kò sì ni lè mu omi rẹ̀.’”
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 Olúwa sọ fún Mose, “Sọ fún Aaroni, ‘Mú ọ̀pá rẹ kí ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ jáde lórí àwọn omi Ejibiti. Lórí àwọn odò kéékèèké àti odò ńlá, lórí àbàtà àti adágún omi, wọn yóò sì di ẹ̀jẹ̀.’ Ẹ̀jẹ̀ yóò wà ni ibi gbogbo ni Ejibiti, àní nínú ọpọ́n àti nínú kete omi àti nínú ìkòkò tí a pọn omi sí nínú ilé.”
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 Mose àti Aaroni sí ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún wọn. Ó gbé ọ̀pá rẹ̀ sókè ni iwájú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, ó sì lu omi odò Naili, omi odò náà sì yípadà sí ẹ̀jẹ̀.
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 Ẹja inú odò Naili sì kú, odò náà ń rùn gidigidi tí ó fi jẹ́ pé àwọn ará Ejibiti kò le è mu omi inú rẹ̀. Ẹ̀jẹ̀ sì wà ni ibi gbogbo ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn apidán ilẹ̀ Ejibiti sì ṣe bákan náà pẹ̀lú agbára òkùnkùn wọn, ọkàn Farao sì yigbì síbẹ̀ kò sì fetí sí wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ.
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 Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, ó yíjú padà, ó sì lọ sí ààfin rẹ̀, kò sì jẹ́ kí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí wà ni oókan àyà rẹ̀.
Then Pharaoh turned and went into his house. He did not even pay attention to this.
24 Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn ará Ejibiti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í gbẹ́ etí odò Naili láti wá omi tí wọn yóò mu, nítorí wọn kò le è mu omi tí ó wà nínú odò náà.
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink, but they could not drink the water of the river itself.
25 Ọjọ́ méje sì kọjá ti Olúwa ti lu odò Naili.
Seven days passed after Yahweh had attacked the river.
