Exodus 7 (LIN) · Opened

1Yawe alobaki na Moyize : « Tala, nakomisi yo nzambe liboso ya Faraon, mpe Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, akozala mosakoli na yo.The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.

2Okoloba makambo nyonso oyo natindi yo ; mpe Aron, ndeko na yo ya mobali, akoyebisa yango epai ya Faraon mpo ete Faraon abimisa bana ya Isalaele na mokili na ye.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.

3Kasi Ngai, nakokomisa motema ya Faraon makasi lokola libanga, nakosala bilembo mpe bikamwa ebele na Ejipito.But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,

4Atako bongo, Faraon akoyokela bino te. Boye, nakosembola loboko na Ngai kati na Ejipito ; mpe na nzela ya bitumbu minene, nakobimisa wuta na Ejipito mampinga na Ngai, bato na Ngai, bana ya Isalaele.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.

5Bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba ete nazali Yawe tango nakosembola loboko na Ngai kati na mokili na bango mpe nakobimisa bana ya Isalaele wuta na Ejipito. »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.”

6Moyize mpe Aron basalaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki bango.So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.

7Tango basololaki na Faraon, Moyize azalaki na mibu ya mbotama tuku mwambe ; mpe Aron, tuku mwambe na misato.Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.

8Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron :The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

9« Tango Faraon akoloba na bino : ‹ Bosala bikamwa, › yo Moyize, okoloba na Aron : ‹ Kamata lingenda na yo, bwaka yango liboso ya Faraon, › mpe lingenda ekobongwana nyoka. »“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.”

10Boye Moyize mpe Aron bakendeki epai ya Faraon mpe basalaki makambo nyonso oyo Yawe atindaki bango. Aron abwakaki lingenda na ye liboso ya Faraon mpe bakalaka na ye, mpe yango ebongwanaki nyoka.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.

11Faraon abengisaki bato ya bwanya mpe bato ya soloka. Bongo bato ya maji ya Ejipito, bango mpe basalaki bikamwa ya ndenge moko na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka.But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.

12Moko na moko kati na bango abwakaki lingenda na ye na mabele mpe ebongwanaki nyoka. Kasi lingenda ya Aron emelaki mangenda na bango.Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.

13Atako bongo, motema ya Faraon ekomaki lisusu makasi ; mpe aboyaki koyokela bango, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

14Yawe alobaki na Moyize : « Motema ya Faraon ezali kaka makasi, aboyi kaka kotika bato na Ngai kokende.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.

15Kende epai ya Faraon na tongo-tongo, na tango oyo abimaka mpo na kokende na mayi. Zela ye pembeni ya Nili mpo na kokutana na ye mpe simba na loboko na yo lingenda oyo ebongwanaki nyoka.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.

16Bongo okoloba na ye : ‹ Yawe, Nzambe ya Ba-Ebre, atindi ngai epai na yo mpo na koyebisa yo : ‘ Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi : Tika bato na Ngai kokende kogumbamela Ngai na esobe. Kasi kino lelo, ozali kaka koyoka te.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.

17Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi : Tala ndenge nini okoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe : Nakobeta na mayi ya Nili lingenda oyo nazali na yango na maboko, mpe mayi yango ekobongwana makila.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.

18Mbisi ya Nili ekokufa mpe mayi ya Nili ekokoma solo ya kopola, bongo bato ya Ejipito bakokoka lisusu komela yango te. ’ › »The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”

19Yawe alobaki na Moyize : « Yebisa Aron : ‹ Kamata lingenda na yo mpe sembola yango na ngambo ya mayi nyonso ya Ejipito : etima mpe miluka, maziba mpe mabulu nyonso ya mayi ekobongwana makila. › Makila ekozala na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito kino na bimelelo ya mayi oyo esalema na nzete to na mabanga. »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.”

20Moyize mpe Aron basalaki ndenge kaka Yawe atindaki bango. Aron atombolaki nzete na ye mpe abetaki lingenda oyo azalaki na yango, na mayi ya Nili na miso ya Faraon mpe ya basali na ye ; mpe mayi nyonso ebongwanaki makila.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.

21Mbisi ya Nili ekufaki mpe mayi elumbaki solo ya kopola na ndenge ete bato ya Ejipito bakokaki lisusu te komela yango. Makila ezalaki na bisika nyonso ya Ejipito.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.

22Kasi bato ya maji ya Ejipito, bango mpe basalaki bikamwa ya ndenge moko na nzela ya misala na bango ya soloka. Motema ya Faraon ekomaki lisusu makasi mpe aboyaki koyokela Moyize mpe Aron ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki.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.

23Atako bongo, Faraon abalukaki, akotaki na ndako na ye mpe azwaki likambo yango na motema te.Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.

24Bato nyonso ya Ejipito batimolaki mabulu pene ya Nili mpo na kozwa mayi ya komela, pamba te bakokaki lisusu te komela mayi ya ebale.So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.

25Mikolo sambo elekaki sima na Yawe kobebisa mayi ya Nili.And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
