Exodus 7
1 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, I have appointed you as the god of Pharaoh. And Aaron, your brother, will be your prophet.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Tala, nakomisi yo nzambe liboso ya Faraon, mpe Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, akozala mosakoli na yo.
2 You will speak to him all that I command you. And he will speak to Pharaoh, so that he may release the sons of Israel from his land.
Okoloba makambo nyonso oyo natindi yo; mpe Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, akoyebisa yango epai ya Faraon mpo ete Faraon abimisa bana ya Isalaele na mokili na ye.
3 But I will harden his heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
Kasi Ngai, nakokomisa motema ya Faraon makasi lokola libanga, nakosala bilembo mpe bikamwa ebele na Ejipito.
4 and he will not listen to you. And I will send my hand over Egypt, and I will lead my army and my people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt, through very great judgments.
Atako bongo, Faraon akoyokela bino te. Boye, nakosembola loboko na Ngai kati na Ejipito; mpe na nzela ya bitumbu minene, nakobimisa wuta na Ejipito mampinga na Ngai, bato na Ngai, bana ya Isalaele.
5 And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, who has extended my hand over Egypt, and who has led the sons of Israel from their midst.”
Bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete nazali Yawe tango nakosembola loboko na Ngai kati na mokili na bango mpe nakobimisa bana ya Isalaele wuta na Ejipito. »
6 And so, Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And so it was done.
Moyize mpe Aron basalaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki bango.
7 Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Tango basololaki na Faraon, Moyize azalaki na mibu ya mbotama tuku mwambe; mpe Aron, tuku mwambe na misato.
8 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
9 “When Pharaoh will say to you, ‘Show signs,’ you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will be turned into a snake.’”
« Tango Faraon akoloba na bino: ‹ Bosala bikamwa, › yo Moyize, okoloba na Aron: ‹ Kamata lingenda na yo, bwaka yango liboso ya Faraon, › mpe lingenda ekobongwana nyoka. »
10 And so Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they did just as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the staff in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and it was turned into a snake.
Boye Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki epai ya Faraon mpe basalaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki bango. Aron abwakaki lingenda na ye liboso ya Faraon mpe bakalaka na ye, mpe yango ebongwanaki nyoka.
11 Then Pharaoh called the wise men and the sorcerers. And they also, by Egyptian incantations and certain secrets, did similarly.
Faraon abengisaki bato ya bwanya mpe bato ya soloka. Bongo bato ya maji ya Ejipito, bango mpe basalaki bikamwa ya ndenge moko na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka.
12 And each one cast down their staffs, and they were turned into serpents. But the staff of Aaron devoured their staffs.
Moko na moko kati na bango abwakaki lingenda na ye na mabele mpe ebongwanaki nyoka. Kasi lingenda ya Aron emelaki mangenda na bango.
13 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
Atako bongo, motema ya Faraon ekomaki lisusu makasi; mpe aboyaki koyokela bango, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
14 Then the Lord said to Moses: “The heart of Pharaoh has been hardened; he is not willing to release the people.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Motema ya Faraon ezali kaka makasi, aboyi kaka kotika bato na Ngai kokende.
15 Go to him in the morning; behold, he will go out to the waters. And you will stand to meet him above the bank of the river. And you will take, in your hand, the staff that was turned into a serpent.
Kende epai ya Faraon na tongo-tongo, na tango oyo abimaka mpo na kokende na mayi. Zela ye pembeni ya Nili mpo na kokutana na ye mpe simba na loboko na yo lingenda oyo ebongwanaki nyoka.
16 And you will say to him: ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to you, saying: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me in the desert. And even until the present time, you were not willing to listen.
Bongo okoloba na ye: ‹ Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, atindi ngai epai na yo mpo na koyebisa yo: ‘Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai na esobe. Kasi kino lelo, ozali kaka koyoka te.
17 Therefore, thus says the Lord: In this you will know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike, with the staff that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it will be turned into blood.
Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Tala ndenge nini okoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe: Nakobeta na mayi ya Nili lingenda oyo nazali na yango na maboko, mpe mayi yango ekobongwana makila.
18 Also, the fishes that are in the river will die, and the waters will be polluted, and the Egyptians will be afflicted when they drink the water of the river.’”
Mbisi ya Nili ekokufa mpe mayi ya Nili ekokoma solo ya kopola, bongo bato ya Ejipito bakokoka lisusu komela yango te.’ › »
19 The Lord also said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Take your staff; and extend your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers and streams and marshes and all the pools of waters, so that they may be turned into blood. And let there be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, as much in vessels of wood as in those of stone.’”
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: « Yebisa Aron: ‹ Kamata lingenda na yo mpe sembola yango na ngambo ya mayi nyonso ya Ejipito: etima mpe miluka, maziba mpe mabulu nyonso ya mayi ekobongwana makila. › Makila ekozala na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito kino na bimelelo ya mayi oyo esalema na nzete to na mabanga. »
20 And Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And lifting up the staff, he struck the water of the river in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants. And it was turned into blood.
Moyize mpe Aron basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki bango. Aron atombolaki nzete na ye mpe abetaki lingenda oyo azalaki na yango, na mayi ya Nili na miso ya Faraon mpe ya basali na ye; mpe mayi nyonso ebongwanaki makila.
21 And the fishes that were in the river died, and the river was polluted, and the Egyptians were not able to drink the water of the river, and there was blood throughout the entire land of Egypt.
Mbisi ya Nili ekufaki mpe mayi elumbaki solo ya kopola na ndenge ete bato ya Ejipito bakokaki lisusu te komela yango. Makila ezalaki na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito.
22 And the sorcerers of the Egyptians, with their incantations, did similarly. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
Kasi bato ya maji ya Ejipito, bango mpe basalaki bikamwa ya ndenge moko na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka. Motema ya Faraon ekomaki lisusu makasi mpe aboyaki koyokela Moyize mpe Aron ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.
23 And he turned himself away, and he entered his house, neither did he apply his heart to this turn of events.
Atako bongo, Faraon abalukaki, akotaki na ndako na ye mpe azwaki likambo yango na motema te.
24 Then all the Egyptians dug along the borders of the river for water to drink. For they were not able to drink from the water of the river.
Bato nyonso ya Ejipito batimolaki mabulu pene ya Nili mpo na kozwa mayi ya komela, pamba te bakokaki lisusu te komela mayi ya ebale.
25 And seven days were completed, after the Lord struck the river.
Mikolo sambo elekaki sima na Yawe kobebisa mayi ya Nili.
