Exodus 7 (ASG) · Opened

1Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa, <<Pana, mi ta̱ o kubonoko wu an Ka̱shile u FiriꞋauna. Mokoshi ma̱ nu Haruna wi ta̱ o kokpo an keneki ka na ka kuyaꞋan kadanshi n una̱ u nu.The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.

2Vu dana yi ili i na n tonokoi nu dem. Ka̱ta̱ a̱yi Haruna u dana FiriꞋauna u ka̱sukpa̱ aza a Isaraila a̱ uta̱ punu a iɗika i ni.You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land.

3Ama mi ta̱ a kuzuwa FiriꞋauna ugbamukaci. Ka̱ta̱ n doku kpamu urotu wi ili i mereve i va̱, a iɗika i Masar,But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,

4ko n nannai FiriꞋauna wi ta na a kupanaka ɗa̱ ba. Ka̱ta̱ mpa n neke aza a Masar atakaci n a̱bunda̱i, ka̱ta̱ mu uta̱ka̱ uma a̱ va̱ aza a Isaraila kakau.Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt, and by mighty acts of judgment I will bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

5Ayin a na baci m ba̱ra̱kpa̱i kukiye ku va̱ wa aza a Masar, ciya̱ mu utuka̱ n aza a Isaraila a̱ ka̱tsuma̱ ke le, i ta̱ e kuyeve a na mpa ɗa Vuzavaguɗu.>>And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.”

6Musa n Haruna a yaꞋin tsu na Vuzavaguɗu u danai le.So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.

7A ayin a na a banai a yaꞋankai FiriꞋauna kadanshi, Musa wi ta̱ n a̱ya̱ amanga̱na̱shi. A̱yi Haruna tamkpamu wi ta̱ n a̱ya̱ amanga̱na̱shi n a tatsu.Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.

8Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa n Haruna,The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

9<<FiriꞋauna u dana baci, <YaꞋin ili i mereve,> vu dana Haruna, <Ɗika kalangu ka̱ nu, vu vakangu kaꞋa a iɗika e kelime ka FiriꞋauna.> kaꞋa ki ta̱ a kuvaza koko.>>“When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ you are to say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a serpent.”

10Ɗa Musa n Haruna a banai u FiriꞋauna a yaꞋin ili i na Vuzavaguɗu u danai le. Ana a yawai, ɗa Haruna u vakangi kalangu ka̱ ni lo a̱ ubuta̱ u FiriꞋauna n anan taji a̱ ni, ɗa ta na ka vazai koko.So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.

11Ɗa FiriꞋauna u ɗekei aza e kuyeve n aza a̱ kula̱na̱ a̱ ni, n oboci a aza a Masar, ɗaɗa a̱ ka̱na̱i kuyaꞋan ili i mereve i nanlo feu derere.But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.

12Yaba dem vi le feu ɗa u vakangi kalangu ka̱ ni a iɗika ɗa ta na a vazai oko. Ama ɗa kalangu ka Haruna ko soɗongi alangu e le ra̱ka̱.Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.

13Ko n nannai, ɗa FiriꞋauna u doku ɗa u yaꞋin ugbamukaci, ɗa u kpa̱ɗa̱i kupanaka le, uteku u na Vuzavaguɗu u danai ɗe.Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

14Ɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa, <<FiriꞋauna wi ta̱ n ugbamukaci n a̱bunda̱i, u iwain kuka̱sukpa̱ uma a̱ va̱ a laza.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.

15Bana u FiriꞋauna n usana, ayin a na wi a̱ kuta̱ a kubana e kuyene ku Nilu. Ka̱ta̱ vu vana yi ɗe a̱ ka̱ga̱Ꞌin ka̱ kuyene ka, vi ɗika kalangu ka na ka vazai koko ka.Go to Pharaoh in the morning as you see him walking out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake.

16Ka̱ta̱ vu dana yi, <Vuzavaguɗu Ka̱shile ka aza a Ibirahim, u suku mu ta̱ wa̱ nu u danai vu ka̱sukpa̱ uma a̱ va̱ a wala a bana a cikpa mu na ɗe e meremune, ama ali n gogo na vu iwain kushuku.Then say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you: Let My people go, so that they may worship Me in the wilderness. But until now you have not listened.

17Pana ili i na Vuzavaguɗu u danai, nannai ɗa ve kuyeve a na mpa ɗa Vuzavaguɗu. N kalangu ka na ki e kukiye ku va̱ na, mi ta̱ a kulapa mini ma̱ Nilu ka̱ta̱ mo bono mpasa.This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD. Behold, with the staff in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.

18Adan a na i punu a̱ mini ma i ta̱ a̱ kukuwa̱, mini kpamu mi ta̱ o kokpo n ushami tsu na aza Masar a kufuɗa o doku o soꞋo mini ma ba.> >>The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”

19Ɗaɗa Vuzavaguɗu u danai Musa, <<Dana Haruna <U ɗika kalangu ka̱ ni, ka̱ta̱ u shamgba u sapangu nɗolu m Masar ni nyeneke n adaɓa n ayinva a na o koꞋi dem. I ta̱ o kokpo mpasa, ali m mini ma na mi lo a̱ ndiki n okotsu koɓolo n ogbodo a iɗika i Masar dem.> >>And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers and canals and ponds and all the reservoirs—that they may become blood.’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the vessels of wood and stone.”

20Ɗa Musa n Haruna a yaꞋin tsu na Vuzavaguɗu u danai le a yaꞋan. Ɗa Haruna u ɗengusa̱i kalangu ka̱ ni lo e kelime ka FiriꞋauna n anan taji a̱ ni dem lo a kinda. Ɗa u lapai Kuyene ku Nilu, ɗa ko okpoi mpasa.Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials, Aaron raised the staff and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was turned to blood.

21Adan a na i punu a̱ mini ma a̱ kuwa̱i. Ɗa mini ma shamai ka̱u, ali aza a Masar a fuɗa o doku soꞋo ba. Ɗa mini dem a iɗika i Masar mo okpoi mpasa.The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. And there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.

22Ama oboci a Masar a̱ ka̱na̱i kuyaꞋan ili i tsuboci i le, ɗa feu o bonokoi mini ma mpasa. Ɗa ka̱ɗu ka FiriꞋauna ko doku ka gbamasakai, u ciga kupanaka Musa ele n Haruna ba, tsu na Vuzavaguɗu u danai.But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.

23Ɗa FiriꞋauna u lazai o kubono e kefeku ka̱ ni, ko ka̱ɗu ka̱ ni ka̱ muɗa̱ adama a ili i nampa ya ba.Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.

24Ɗa aza a Masar dem a̱ ga̱va̱i ayinva a̱ ka̱ga̱Ꞌin ke kuyene ku Nilu a̱ kula̱nsa̱ mini mo kusoꞋo adama a na o doku a fuɗa o soꞋo mini me kuyene ma ba.So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.

25Ayin e cindere a lazai ana Vuzavaguɗu u la̱nga̱sa̱i Kuyene ku Nilu.And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
