< Exodus 7 >

1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac oru kom in oana God nu sel tokosra, ac Aaron, tamulel lom, ac fah kaskas nu sel oana mwet palu se lom.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 Fahk nu sel Aaron ma nukewa nga sapkin nu sum uh, ac el ac fah fahk nu sel tokosra elan lela mwet Israel in som liki facl sel uh.
You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 Tusruktu nga ac akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac finne pus mwe aksangeng nga orala in acn Egypt,
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 el ac fah tiana lohng kom. Na nga fah sang mwe kai na upa nu fin acn Egypt ac kolla mwet in sruf nukewa luk liki facl sac.
But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 Na mwet Egypt elos tufah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD, ke pacl se nga ac srukak pouk lainulos, ac kolla mwet Israel liki facl selos.”
The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”
6 Moses ac Aaron oru oana God El sapkin.
Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did.
7 Ke pacl se eltal kaskas nu sel tokosra, Moses el yac oalngoul matwal, ac Aaron el yac oalngoul tolu.
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses ac Aaron,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 “Tokosra el fin sap komtal in oru sie mwenmen in akpwayeye kas lomtal uh, fahk nu sel Aaron elan srukak sikal lal ac sisya nu infohk uh ye mutal tokosra, na ac fah ekla nu ke wet soko.”
“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”
10 Ouinge Moses ac Aaron som nu yorol tokosra, ac oru oana LEUM GOD El sap. Aaron el sisya sikal lal nu ye mutal tokosra ac mwet fulat lal, ac sikal soko ah ekla nu ke wet soko.
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yahweh had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Na tokosra el pangonma mwet lalmwetmet ac mwet orek inutnut lal, ac elos oru oapana.
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
12 Elos sisya sikal lalos ah, ac sikal lalos uh ekla wet pac. Tusruktu sikal lal Aaron ah okomla sikal lalos ah.
For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Ne ouinge, nunak lal tokosra srakna upa, ac el tiana lohngol Moses ac Aaron, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk.
Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
14 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Arulana upa nunkal tokosra, ac el tiana lela mwet ah in som.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 Ouinge fahla ac sonol lututang ke el ac tufokla nu ke Infacl Nile uh. Us sikal soko ma tuh ekla nu ke wet soko ah, ac soanel pe infacl ah.
Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.
16 Na kom fahk nu sel tokosra, ‘LEUM GOD lun mwet Hebrew El supweyume in fahkot nu sum kom in fuhlela mwet lal ah in som, tuh elos in ku in alu nu sel in acn mwesis. Tuh pa kom tiana akos.
You shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you haven’t listened.”
17 Inge, Tokosra, LEUM GOD El fahk mu kom ac fah etu lah su El uh ke ma El ac oru. Liye, nga ac sringilya fin kof uh ke sikal soko inge, na kof uh ac fah ekla nu ke srah.
Yahweh says, “In this you shall know that I am Yahweh. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Ik infacl ah ac fah misa, ac infacl uh ac fah arulana pusrosrak, oru mwet Egypt ac fah tia ku in nim kof kac.’”
The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.”’”
19 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Fahkang nu sel Aaron elan us sikal lal ah ac kolak ac asroela nu fin infacl nukewa, inyoa ac inlulu nukewa in acn Egypt. Kof uh ac fah ekla nu ke srah, na ac fah oasr srah yen nukewa, finne luin tup sak ac mwe neinyuk kof ma orek ke eot.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
20 Na Moses ac Aaron oru oana LEUM GOD El sapkakin. Ye mutun tokosra ac mwet fulat lal, Aaron el kolak sikal lal ac sringilya kof infacl ah, ac kof loac ekla nu ke srah.
Moses and Aaron did so, as Yahweh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 Ik infacl ah misa, ac foul infacl uh arulana pusrosrak, oru mwet Egypt tiana ku in nim kof kac. Oasr srah yen nukewa in Egypt.
The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Na mwet inutnut lal tokosra orala mwenmen lalos ac sikyak oapana, ac nankal tokosra srakna upa. Oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, tokosra el tiana lohngol Moses ac Aaron.
The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
23 El folokla nu inkul fulat sel, ac tiana lohang nu ke ma sikyak inge.
Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
24 Mwet Egypt nukewa pikin pe infacl ah in suk kof in nimnim mweyen elos tia ku in nim kof ke infacl ah.
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
25 Len itkosr somla tukun LEUM GOD El sringilya infacl ah.
Seven days were fulfilled, after Yahweh had struck the river.
