Exodus 7 (GOFL)

1Goday Museko, “Heko taani nena Gibxe kawas Xoossa mela oothas. Ne ishaa Aaroni ne nabe gididi iyaw odana.The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.

2Taani nena kiitida kiita ubbaa Aaronas oda. I, Isra7eeleta ba biittafe kessi yeddana mela kawas odana.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.

3Shin taani kawa wozanaa muumisana. Taani Gibxe biittan malaatatanne malaalsiyabata oothikoka,But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,

4I hinte odiyaba si7enna. He wode taani Gibxeta pirdana; ta deriya Isra7eele Gibxefe 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.

5Hessi haniya wode taani godaa gididaysa Gibxeti erana” yaagis.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 Aaroni Goday kiitidaysada oothidosona.So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.

7Enti kawas odiya wode, Muses hospun tammu laythi; Aaronas qassi hospun tammanne heedzu laythi.Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.

8Goday Musenne Aarona,The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

9“Kawoy hintena, malaata oothidi tana bessite giiko, Aaroni ba xam7a ekidi kawa sinthan yeggana mela iyaw oda; he xam7ay shooshi gidana” yaagis.“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.”

10Museynne Aaroni kawako bidi Goday enta kiitidaysada oothidosona. Aaroni ba xam7aa kawa sinthaninne iya moorinnata sinthan yeggin xam7ay shooshu gidis.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, kawoy marotanne bitanchota xeegisis. Entika banta bitan hessada oothidosona.But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.

12Enti ubbay banta xam7aa sa7an yeggida wode xam7ati shooshi gididosona. Shin Aarona xam7ay enta xam7ata mittisEach one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.

13Gidoshin Goday gidaysa mela kawa wozanay muumis. I enti geysa si7onna ixis.Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

14Goday Muse, “Kawa wozanay muumis; I asaa yeddonna ixis.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.

15Wonto wonta guura shooshi laametida xam7aa ekada, Nayle Shaafa matan eqada, kawuwara gahetanaw naaga.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.

16Iyako, ‘Goday, Ibraaweta Xoossay ta asay mela biittan taw goyinnana mela yedda’ yaagidi tana neeko kiittis. Shin neeni hanno gakanaw ixadasa.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, I, Godaa gideysa I oothiyaban neeni erana. Taani Nayle Shaafa haatha ta kushen de7iya xam7an shociko haathay suuthi laametana.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.

18Nayle Shaafan de7iya moloy hayqana; shaafayka xinqana. Gibxeti he shaafa haatha uyanaw danda7okona” yaagada oda.The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”

19Goday Museko, “Aaroni Gibxen de7iya haathata bolla, shaafata bolla, zara haathata bolla, teqe haatha bollanne duuqetida haathi ubbaa bolla ba xam7aa denthana mela oda. He wode haatha ubbay suuthi laametana. Hari attoshin Gibxe biittan mithafenne shuchafe oosetida haathe tikiya miishetan de7iya haathay ubbay suuthi laametana yaaga” yaagis.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 Aaroni Goday kiitidaysada oothidosona. Kawa sinthaninne iya moorinnata sinthan ba xam7aa denthidi, Nayle Shaafa haatha shocis. Haatha ubbay suuthi laametis.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 haathan de7iya moloti hayqidosona. Shaafa haathay iita xinqida gisho, Gibxe asay uyanaw danda7ibookona. Gibxe biitta ubban suuthi kumis.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.

22Shin Gibxe bitanchoti banta bitan hessada oothidosona. Goday gidaysada kawa wozanay muumin, Museynne Aaroni odidaysa si7onna ixis.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.

23Kawoy he hanidaba aybinka taybonna yeggi aggidi ba gadho simmidi bis.Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.

24Gibxe asay Nayle Shaafa haatha uyanaw danda7iboona gisho, uyiya haathi demmanaw Shaafa gaxan olla bookidosona.So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.

25Goday haatha shoci simmin laapun gallas gidis.And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
