Egzòd 7
1 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Gade! Mwen pral fè ou tounen Bondye pou farawon an. Arawon, frè ou la, pral pale avè l' pou ou tankou yon pwofèt.
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 W'a di Arawon tou sa mwen te ba ou lòd di. Li menm, l'a repete l' bay farawon an pou farawon an voye pitit Izrayèl yo pati kite peyi a.
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 Mwen menm menm, m'ap fè farawon an fè tèt di. Konsa, m'a fè plis mirak ak plis mèvèy toujou nan peyi Lejip la.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 Farawon an p'ap koute nou. Lè sa a, m'a frape peyi Lejip la. m'a pini l' byen pini. m'a pran pitit Izrayèl yo, sòlda mwen yo, pèp mwen an, m'ap fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip.
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 judgements.
5 Lè m'a frape peyi Lejip, lè m'a fè pitit Izrayèl yo soti nan mitan yo, moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm menm ki Seyè a vre.
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from amongst them.”
6 Moyiz ak Arawon te fè tou sa Seyè a te ba yo lòd fè. Wi, yo fè tou sa li te di yo fè a.
Moses and Aaron did so. As the LORD commanded them, so they did.
7 Moyiz te gen katrevenzan, Arawon te gen katreventwazan lè yo t al pale ak farawon an.
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Seyè a di Moyiz ak Arawon konsa:
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 -Si farawon an mande nou fè yon mirak pou moutre ki moun nou ye, ou menm Moyiz w'a di Arawon pran baton l' lan, voye l' atè devan farawon an. Baton an va tounen yon koulèv.
“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 Moyiz ak Arawon al bò kote farawon an. Yo fè sa Seyè a te ba yo lòd fè a. Arawon voye baton l' lan devan farawon an ak devan tout moun farawon yo. Baton an tounen yon koulèv.
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Men farawon an rele nèg save l' yo ak divinò l' yo. Yo menm tou, avèk maji yo, yo te rive fè menm bagay la tou.
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 Yo voye baton pa yo atè, baton yo tounen koulèv tou. Men, baton Arawon an vale tout lòt baton yo.
For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Farawon an t'ap fè tèt di toujou. Li pa t' vle koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
14 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Farawon an ap fè tèt di toujou. Li pa vle kite pèp la ale.
The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 Ale bò kote farawon an denmen maten, lè li pral soti pou l' al bò gwo larivyè Nil la. Al tann li bò larivyè a. Baton ki te tounen koulèv la, w'a kenbe l' nan men ou.
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 W'a di farawon an: Seyè a, Bondye ebre yo, te voye m' di ou konsa kite pèp li a ale pou yo ka fè yon sèvis pou li nan dezè a. Men, jouk koulye a ou pa vle koute l'.
You shall tell him, ‘The LORD, 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 Jòdi a, men sa Seyè a di: mwen pral fè ou konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Mwen pral frape dlo gwo larivyè a avèk baton ki nan men m' lan, dlo a pral tounen san.
The LORD says, “In this you shall know that I am the LORD. 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 Tout pwason yo pral mouri, dlo a pral santi move, moun peyi Lejip yo p'ap ka bwè dlo ladan li ankò.
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 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Di Arawon pran baton l' lan, lonje l' sou tout dlo ki nan peyi Lejip la: larivyè, kannal, letan, m'a dlo, wi, sou tout dlo ki genyen. Dlo yo va tounen san. Konsa va gen san sou tout peyi a, menm nan ganmèl yo ak nan kannari yo.
The LORD 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 Moyiz ak Arawon fè sa Seyè a te ba yo lòd fè a. Arawon leve baton l' lan, li frape dlo gwo larivyè a devan farawon an ak devan tout moun farawon yo. Tout dlo gwo larivyè a tounen san.
Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD 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 Tout pwason nan larivyè a mouri. Dlo a vin santi move. Moun peyi Lejip yo pa t' kapab pran dlo ladan l' pou yo bwè ankò. Te gen san toupatou nan peyi a.
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 Men, majisyen peyi Lejip yo te rive fè menm bagay la tou avèk maji yo. Farawon an menm t'ap fè tèt di pi rèd. Li pa koute Moyiz ak Arawon, tankou Seyè a te di a.
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 the LORD had spoken.
23 Farawon an vire do ba yo, l' al lakay li tankou si anyen pa t' rive.
Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
24 Moun peyi Lejip yo pran fouye twou sou bò gwo larivyè a pou yo te ka jwenn dlo pròp pou yo bwè, paske yo pa t' kapab bwè dlo gwo larivyè a.
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
25 Apre Seyè a te fin frape gwo larivyè a, li kite sèt jou pase.
Seven days were fulfilled, after the LORD had struck the river.
