Exodus 7
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And the LORD said unto Moses: 'See, I have set thee in God's stead to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
1ΚΑΙ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων· ἰδοὺ δέδωκά σε θεὸν Φαραώ, καὶ Ἀαρὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἔσται σου προφήτης·
2Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
2σὺ δὲ λαλήσεις αὐτῷ πάντα, ὅσα σοι ἐντέλλομαι, ὁ δὲ Ἀαρὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου λαλήσει πρὸς Φαραώ, ὥστε ἐξαποστεῖλαι τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.
3And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
3ἐγὼ δὲ σκληρυνῶ τὴν καρδίαν Φαραὼ καὶ πληθυνῶ τὰ σημεῖά μου καὶ τὰ τέρατα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ.
4But Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay My hand upon Egypt, and bring forth My hosts, My people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt, by great judgments.
4καὶ οὐκ εἰσακούσεται ὑμῶν Φαραώ· καὶ ἐπιβαλῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ᾿ Αἴγυπτον καὶ ἐξάξω σὺν δυνάμει μου τὸν λαόν μου τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου σὺν ἐκδικήσει μεγάλῃ.
5And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.'
5καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι, ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ἐκτείνων τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ᾿ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐξάξω τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν.
6And Moses and Aaron did so; as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
6ἐποίησε δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Κύριος, οὕτως ἐποίησαν.
7And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spoke unto Pharaoh.
7Μωυσῆς δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ὀγδοήκοντα, Ἀαρὼν δὲ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐτῶν ὀγδοηκοντατριῶν, ἡνίκα ἐλάλησε πρὸς Φαραώ.
8And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
8Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγων·
9'When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying: Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'
9καὶ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ λέγων· δότε ἡμῖν σημεῖον ἢ τέρας, καὶ ἐρεῖς Ἀαρὼν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου· λάβε τὴν ράβδον καὶ ρίψον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐναντίον Φαραὼ καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσται δράκων.
10And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
10εἰσῆλθε δὲ Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐναντίον Φαραὼ καὶ τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως, καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Κύριος· καὶ ἔρριψεν Ἀαρὼν τὴν ράβδον ἐναντίον Φαραώ, καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο δράκων.
11Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts.
11συνεκάλεσε δὲ Φαραὼ τοὺς σοφιστὰς Αἰγύπτου καὶ τοὺς φαρμακούς, καὶ ἐποίησαν καὶ οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ταῖς φαρμακείαις αὐτῶν ὡσαύτως.
12For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents; but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
12καὶ ἔρριψαν ἕκαστος τὴν ράβδον αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐγένοντο δράκοντες· καὶ κατέπιεν ἡ ράβδος ἡ Ἀαρὼν τὰς ἐκείνων ράβδους.
13And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
13καὶ κατίσχυσεν ἡ καρδία Φαραώ, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν, καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Κύριος.
14And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Pharaoh's heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go.
14Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· βεβάρηται ἡ καρδία Φαραὼ τοῦ μὴ ἐξαποστεῖλαι τὸν λαόν.
15Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand.
15βάδισον πρὸς Φαραὼ τὸ πρωΐ· ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐκπορεύεται ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ ἔσῃ συναντῶν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ τὴν ράβδον τὴν στραφεῖσαν εἰς ὄφιν λήψῃ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου.
16And thou shalt say unto him: The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying: Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness; and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened;
16καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν· Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῶν Ἑβραίων ἀπέσταλκέ με πρὸς σὲ λέγων· ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου, ἵνα μοι λατρεύσῃ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ εἰσήκουσας ἕως τούτου.
17thus saith the LORD: In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD — behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
17τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐν τούτῳ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τύπτω τῇ ράβδῳ τῇ ἐν χειρί μου ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ, καὶ μεταβαλεῖ εἰς αἷμα·
18And 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.'
18καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες οἱ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ τελευτήσουσι, καὶ ἐποζέσει ὁ ποταμός, καὶ οὐ δυνήσονται οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι πιεῖν ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ.
19And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Say unto Aaron: Take thy rod, and stretch out thy 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.'
19εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· εἰπὸν Ἀαρὼν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου· λάβε τὴν ράβδον σου ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς διώρυγας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἕλη αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶν συνεστηκὸς ὕδωρ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔσται αἷμα, καὶ ἐγένετο αἷμα ἐν πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου ἔν τε τοῖς ξύλοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς λίθοις.
20And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote 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.
20καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρών, καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Κύριος· καὶ ἐπάρας τῇ ράβδῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξε τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ ἐναντίον Φαραὼ καὶ ἐναντίον τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ καὶ μετέβαλε πᾶν τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ εἰς αἷμα.
21And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
21καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες οἱ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ ἐτελεύτησαν, καὶ ἐπώζεσεν ὁ ποταμός, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι πιεῖν ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ ἦν τὸ αἷμα ἐν πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου.
22And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.
22ἐποίησαν δὲ ὡσαύτως καὶ οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ταῖς φαρμακείαις αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐσκληρύνθη ἡ καρδία Φαραώ, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν, καθάπερ εἶπε Κύριος.
23And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
23ἐπιστραφεὶς δὲ Φαραὼ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐπέστησε τὸν νοῦν αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τούτῳ.
24And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
24ὤρυξαν δὲ πάντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι κύκλῳ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ὥστε πιεῖν ὕδωρ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο πιεῖν ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ.
25And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
25καὶ ἀνεπληρώθησαν ἑπτὰ ἡμέραι μετὰ τὸ πατάξαι Κύριον τὸν ποταμόν.
