< Исход 7 >

1 И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя: се, дах тя Бога фараону, и Аарон брат твой будет твой пророк:
Jehovah said to Moses, "Look, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 ты же возглаголеши ему вся, елика тебе заповедаю: Аарон же брат твой возглаголет к фараону, да отпустит сыны Израилевы от земли своея:
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 Аз же ожесточу сердце фараоново и умножу знамения Моя и чудеса в земли Египетстей:
I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 и не послушает вас фараон, и возложу руку Мою на Египет и изведу с силою Моею люди Моя сыны Израилевы от земли Египетския, со отмщением великим:
But Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring forth my regiments, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 и уведят вси Египтяне, яко Аз есмь Господь, простирая руку Мою на Египет, и изведу сыны Израилевы от среды их.
The Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them."
6 Сотвори же Моисей и Аарон, якоже заповеда им Господь, тако сотвориша.
Moses and Aaron did so. As Jehovah commanded them, so they did.
7 Моисей же бе осмидесяти лет, Аарон же брат его осмидесяти трех лет, егда глаголаста к фараону.
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 И рече Господь к Моисею и Аарону глаголя:
Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 и аще речет к вам фараон, глаголя: дадите нам знамение или чудо: и речеши Аарону брату твоему: возми жезл и повержи на землю пред фараоном и пред рабы его, и будет змий.
"When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, 'Perform a miracle.' then you shall tell Aaron, 'Take your staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'"
10 Вниде же Моисей и Аарон пред фараона и пред рабы его, и сотвориша тако, якоже заповеда им Господь: и поверже Аарон жезл пред фараоном и пред рабы его, и бысть змий.
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Jehovah had commanded: and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Созва же фараон мудрецы Египетския и волхвы: и сотвориша и волсви египетскии чарованиями своими такожде:
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts.
12 и повергоша кийждо жезл свой, и быша змиеве: и пожре жезл Ааронов оных жезлы.
For they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents: but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs.
13 И укрепися сердце фараоне, и не послуша их, якоже глагола им Господь.
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as Jehovah had spoken.
14 И рече Господь к Моисею: отягчися сердце фараоне, еже не отпустити людий:
Jehovah said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 иди к фараону заутра: се, той исходит на воды, и буди сретая его на брезе речнем: и жезл обращейся в змия возми в руку твою,
Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Look, he goes out to the water; and you shall stand by the river's bank to meet him; and the staff which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand.
16 и речеши к нему: Господь Бог Еврейский посла мя к тебе, глаголя: отпусти люди Моя, да Ми послужат в пустыни: и се, не послушал еси доселе:
You shall tell him, 'Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, "Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness:" and look, until now you haven't listened.
17 сия глаголет Господь: по сему увеси, яко Аз Господь: се, аз ударю жезлом, иже в руце моей, по воде речней, и преложится в кровь:
Thus says Jehovah, "In this you shall know that I am Jehovah. Look, I will strike with the staff that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 и рыбы, яже в реце изомрут, и возсмердится река, и не возмогут Египтяне пити воды от реки.
The fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river."'"
19 Рече же Господь к Моисею: рцы Аарону брату твоему: возми жезл твой в руку твою, и простри руку твою на воды Египетския и на реки их и на кладязи их и на езера их и на всякое собрание вод их, и будет кровь, и бысть кровь по всей земли Египетстей, в древесех же и в камениих.
Jehovah said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Take your staff, 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; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'"
20 И сотвориша тако Моисей и Аарон, якоже заповеда им Господь: и взем Аарон жезл свой, удари воду речную пред фараоном и пред рабы его, и преложи всю воду речную в кровь:
Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah commanded; and he lifted up the staff, 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 и рыбы яже в реце изомроша, и возсмердеся река, и не можаху Египтяне пити воды от реки, и бяше кровь по всей земли Египетстей.
The fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians couldn't drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Сотвориша же и волсви Египетстии волхвованиями своими такожде: и ожесточися сердце фараоново, и не послуша их, якоже рече Господь.
The magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as Jehovah had spoken.
23 Возвратився же фараон вниде в дом свой, и не положи себе и сего во уме.
Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
24 Ископаша же вси Египтяне окрест реки, да пиют воду: и не можаху пити воды от реки.
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn't drink of the water of the river.
25 И исполнишася седмь дний, по ударении Господни в реку.
Seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had struck the river.
