Exodus 7
1 And the LORD said to Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Emeela m gị ka ị dịrị ka Chineke nʼebe Fero nọ. Nwanne gị Erọn ga-abụkwa onye amụma gị.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
Ị ga-agwa Erọn ihe niile m gwara gị. Ọ ga-ekwukwa ha nʼihu Fero, rịọọ ya ka o kwere ka ụmụ Izrel hapụ ala Ijipt.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Ma aga m eme ka obi Fero sie ike. Ọ bụ ezie na m ga-eme ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama nʼihe ebube nʼala Ijipt,
4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken to you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
ma Fero agaghị ege unu ntị. Mgbe ahụ aga m eme ka aka m bịakwasị Ijipt. Aga m esite nʼoke ọrụ nke ikpe ọmụma dị oke egwu, mee ka ndị m, Izrel, dịka usuu ha niile si dị, site nʼala Ijipt pụọ.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
Ndị Ijipt ga-amata nʼezie na m bụ Onyenwe anyị, mgbe m setịpụrụ aka nʼIjipt, ma site nʼetiti ha kpọpụta ụmụ Izrel.”
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
Mosis na Erọn mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha iwu.
7 And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty and three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Nʼoge a, mgbe ha gwara Fero okwu, Mosis agbaala iri afọ asatọ. Ma Erọn agbaala iri afọ asatọ na atọ.
8 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn sị,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then thou shalt say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
“Mgbe Fero ga-agwa unu okwu sị, ‘Meenụ ihe ebube.’ Ị ga-agwa Erọn okwu sị ya, ‘Were mkpanaka gị tụpụ ya nʼala nʼihu Fero.’ Ọ ga-aghọ agwọ.”
10 And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis na Erọn jekwuuru Fero mee dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu. Erọn tụpụrụ mkpanaka ya nʼala nʼihu Fero na ndị ozi ya. Ọ ghọrọ agwọ.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
Ma Fero kpọkọtara ndị maara ihe, na ndị mgbaasị, na ndị majiki nọ nʼIjipt. Ha bịara mee ụdị ihe ịrịbama ahụ Mosis na Erọn mere site nʼihe nzuzo nke akaọrụ ha.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
Onye ọbụla nʼime ha tụpụrụ mkpanaka ya, nke ghọkwara agwọ. Ma mkpanaka ahụ Erọn tụpụrụ, nke ghọrọ agwọ, loro mkpanaka ndị ahụ niile ndị Ijipt tụpụrụ.
13 And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he hearkened not to them; as the LORD had said.
Fero nyịchiri obi ya, mee ka o sie ike. O geghị Erọn na Mosis ntị dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
14 And the LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Obi Fero siri ike. Ọ bụ nke a mere o ji na-aga nʼihu na-ajụ ka ndị m laa.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out to the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.
Ma otu ọ dị; nʼisi ụtụtụ echi, jekwuru Fero tupu ọ gaa nʼosimiri. Guzoro nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl, jidekwa mkpanaka ahụ ghọrọ agwọ nʼaka gị.
16 And thou shalt say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, until now thou wouldest not hear.
Ị ga-agwa Fero sị, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ndị Hibru, ezitela m ka m gwa gị sị, hapụ ndị m ka ha gaa nʼọzara fee m ofufe. Tutu ruo ugbu a, ị jụrụ ige ntị.’
17 Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
Ugbu a Onyenwe anyị kwuru nke a sị, ‘Ị ga-amata site na nke a na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị. Aga m ewere mkpanaka a nke m ji nʼaka tie nʼosimiri Naịl. Ọ ga-agbanwe ghọọ ọbara.
18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
Azụ niile dị nʼime ya ga-anwụ. Osimiri ahụ ga-esikwa isi dịka ihe rere ure. Nke a ga-eme ka ọ bụrụ ihe rara ahụ nye ndị Ijipt ịṅụ mmiri site na ya.’”
19 And the LORD spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị ya, “Gwa Erọn ka o setịpụ mkpanaka ya nʼelu mmiri niile dị nʼIjipt. Nke a metụtara osimiri ha niile, mmiri ntakịrị ha niile, ọdọ mmiri ha niile, na ebe niile ha na-echekọta mmiri. Ọbara ga-ejupụta ebe niile nʼIjipt, ite mmiri na ite aja na ite osisi niile.”
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote 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 into blood.
Mosis na Erọn mere dị ka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu ime. Nʼihu Fero na ndịisi ọrụ ya, Erọn weliri mkpanaka ya tie ya nʼelu mmiri dị nʼosimiri Naịl. Nʼotu ntabi anya, mmiri ahụ gbanwere ghọọ ọbara.
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ka azụ dị nʼime mmiri Naịl nwụsịrị, mmiri ahụ malitere na-esi isi ọjọọ, nke mere ka ndị Ijipt hapụ inwe ike ịṅụ mmiri sitere na ya. Ọbara jupụtakwara nʼala Ijipt niile.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken to them; as the LORD had said.
Ma ndị majiki Ijipt jikwa ihe nzuzo ha mee ka mmiri chaa ọbara ọbara. Nke a mere ka Fero nyịchie obi ya. Ọ ṅaghị Mosis na Erọn ntị, dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara ha na ọ ga-eme.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
Fero tụgharịrị laghachi nʼụlọeze ya, na-echeghị echiche banyere ihe niile ahụ e mere.
24 And all the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
Ya mere, ndị Ijipt niile gwuru olulu mmiri nʼakụkụ osimiri ahụ ịchọ mmiri ọṅụṅụ ebe ha na-enweghị ike ịṅụ mmiri sitere nʼosimiri Naịl.
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
Ụbọchị asaa gasịrị, site nʼụbọchị Onyenwe anyị tichara ihe otiti ahụ na Naịl.
