Exodus 7 (GMVL)

1Hessafe guye GODAY Muses, «Beya; tani nena Gibxe kawaas Xoossa mala ooththadis; ne isha Aarooney ne doona gididi ne gishshas haasayana;The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.

2tani nena azazidayssa ubbaa ne isha Aaroones yootandassa; kawozi Isra7eele nayta ba biittafe kessi yeddana mala izi yootana.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.

3Gido attiin tani kawoza wozina minththana; tani Gibxe biittan ta malaatanne maalalissiza miish darsa ooththikokka,But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,

4izi intte yootizayssa siyenna. He wode tani ta kushe Gibxe asaa bolla denththana; tani ta dereta Isra7eele nayta wolqqama pirdan Gibxeppe kessana.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.

5Qasse Gibxeti tani ta qese Gibxe asaa bolla denththada Isra7eele nayta istta giddofe kessiza wode tani GODAA gididayssa istti erana» gides.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.”

6Museynne Aarooney GODAY istta azazida mala ooththida.So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.

7Istti kawozas yootiza wode Muses layththay osppun tamma; Aarooney qasse 83 layththa asa.Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.

8GODAY Musenne Aaroone,The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

9«Kawoy inttena, ‹Ane malaata tana bessite› giikko neni Aaroone, ‹Ne guufaa ekkada kawoza sinththan yegga› ga; histtiko izi shoosh gidana» gides.“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.”

10Histtiin Museynne Aarooney kawozaakko gelidi GODAY istta azazida mala ooththida; Aarooney ba guufe kawoza sinththaninne daannata sinththan yeggiin guufezi shoosh gidides.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.

11Hessafe guye kawozi daro eranchchatanne bitizayta xeygisiin Gibxe dere marotikka ba deren hessaththo ooththida.But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.

12Istti wurikka ba guufe guufe gaden yeggiin guufeti wurikka shoosh gidida shin Aaroone guufeya istta guufeta ubbaa mittadus.Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.

13Gidikkoka GODAY yootida mala kawoza wozinay minnida gishshas izi istta yo7o siyontta ixxides.Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

14GODAY Muses, «Kawoza wozinay muumiin asaa izi yeddontta ixxida gishshas,Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.

15kawozi shaafa biza wode maaladora neni izakko baada izara gaaggana mala Abbaye shaafaa doonan eqqa; hee bashe shooshshan laamettida guufeza oykka ekkada ba.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.

16Neni iza, ‹GODAA Ibraaweta Xoossay nena, «Bazzon taas goynnana mala ta asaa yedda» giidi tana neekko kiittides shin hanno gakkanaas neni ero gabeekka.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.

17GODAY, «Tani GODAA gididayssa neni hayssan erana» gides. Tani Abbaye shaafa haaththaa ta kushen diza guufezan shocikko haaththay suuththan laamettana.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.

18Abbaye shaafaa moleykka hayqqana; shaafaykka xinqqana; Gibxeti he shaafa haaththaa uyanaas dandayettenna› gaada yoota» gides.The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”

19GODAY Muses, «Neni Aaroones, ‹Ne guufe oykkada Gibxe haaththata bolla, shaafata bolla, zara haaththata bollanne eellida haaththi dizaso ubbaa bolla ne kushe piddisa› ga; izi ba kushe piddisikko haaththi wuri suuththan laamettana; Gibxe biitta ubbaan, haray attoshin, miththafenne shuchchafe wooci kessida haath tigiza miishshata ubbaan suuththi kumana» gides.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.”

20Museynne Aarooney GODAY azazida mala ooththida. Kawoza sinththaninne daannata sinththan Aarooney ba guufeza denththidi shaafa haaththaa shociin haaththi wuri suuththan laamettides.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.

21He shaafa haaththaa giddon diza moleti hayqqida; shaafa haaththi keehi xinqqida gishshas Gibxe asay uyanaas dandaybeenna. Gibxe biittay kumeth suuth xalla gidides.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.

22Gido attiin Gibxe maroti ba biittan izaththoka ooththida; GODAY yootida malakka kawoza wozinay minnida gishshas Museynne Aarooney yootidayssa siyontta ixxides.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.

23Hessafe guye kawozi hessas aykko babbontta dishe ba soo simmi bides.Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.

24Gibxe asay wuri Abbaye shaafa haaththaa uyanaas dandayontta gishshas, uyiza haath demmanaas Abbaye shaafaa achchan olla bookkida.So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.

25GODAY haaththaa suuththan laammiin laappun gallas gidides.And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
