Exodus 7
King James Version
7 And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.
7 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10 And 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.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
16 And thou shalt say unto him, The Lord 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 wouldest not hear.
17 Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
19 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20 And 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.
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the Lord had said.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the Lord had smitten the river.

7 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Gagawin kitang parang Diyos sa harapan ng Faraon, at ang kapatid mong si Aaron ang magiging tagapagsalita mo. 2 Lahat ng sabihin ko sa iyo ay sasabihin mo kay Aaron; siya naman ang magsasabi sa Faraon na payagan na kayong umalis ng Egipto. 3 Ngunit(A) patitigasin ko ang puso ng Faraon, at gumawa man ako ng maraming kababalaghan sa Egipto 4 ay hindi siya makikinig sa iyo. Kung magkagayon ipadarama ko sa kanila ang bigat ng aking kamay. Paparusahan ko ang buong Egipto at ilalabas ko mula roon ang aking mga hukbo, ang aking bayan, ang mga Israelita. 5 Makikilala ng mga Egipcio na ako si Yahweh kapag natikman nila ang bigat ng aking kamay at inilabas ko na sa Egipto ang mga Israelita.” 6 At ginawa nina Moises at Aaron ang lahat ng iniutos ni Yahweh. 7 Walumpung taon si Moises at walumpu't tatlo naman si Aaron nang makipag-usap sila sa Faraon.
Ang Tungkod ni Aaron
8 Sinabi pa ni Yahweh kina Moises at Aaron, 9 “Kapag sinabi sa inyo ng Faraon na magpakita kayo ng kababalaghan bilang katunayan ng pagkasugo ko sa inyo, sabihin mo kay Aaron na ihagis ang kanyang tungkod sa harapan ng Faraon at magiging ahas iyon.” 10 Nagpunta nga sila sa Faraon tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh. Pagdating doon, inihagis ni Aaron ang kanyang tungkod sa harapan ng Faraon at ng mga tauhan nito. At naging ahas nga ang tungkod. 11 Kaya ipinatawag ng Faraon ang mga matatalinong tao at mga salamangkero at sa pamamagitan ng kanilang lihim na karunungan ay ipinagaya ang ginawa ni Aaron. 12 Inihagis nila sa lupa ang kanilang mga tungkod at naging ahas din, ngunit ang mga ito'y nilulon ng tungkod ni Aaron. 13 Gayunma'y nagmatigas pa rin ang Faraon at hindi nakinig kina Moises at Aaron, gaya ng sinabi ni Yahweh.
Ang Unang Salot: Naging Dugo ang Tubig
14 Sinabi(B) ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Nagmamatigas ang Faraon. Ayaw pa ring paalisin ang mga Israelita. 15 Kaya, bukas ng umaga, dalhin mo ang tungkod na naging ahas, at hintayin mo ang Faraon pagpunta niya sa tabing ilog. 16 Sabihin mo sa kanya ang ganito, ‘Pinapunta ako rito ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng mga Hebreo upang sabihin sa iyo na payagan mong umalis ang kanyang bayang Israel at sumamba sa kanya sa ilang. Hanggang ngayon ay ayaw mo pa ring sumunod. 17 Ngunit(C) tiyak na kikilalanin mo si Yahweh sa pamamagitan nitong gagawin niya. Tingnan mo, ihahampas ko sa Ilog Nilo ang tungkod na ito at magiging dugo ang tubig 18 at mamamatay ang mga isda. Dahil dito, babaho ang ilog at hindi maiinom ng mga Egipcio ang tubig nito.’”
19 Idinugtong pa ni Yahweh, “Pagkatapos, sabihin mo kay Aaron na itaas ang kanyang tungkod at sumpain ang lahat ng tubig sa Egipto. Ang lahat ng tubig sa mga ilog, kanal at lawa ay magiging dugo, pati ang nasa mga batya at tapayan.”
20 Ginawa nina Moises at Aaron ang iniutos sa kanila ni Yahweh. Sa harapan ng Faraon at ng mga tauhan nito ay inihampas ni Aaron sa tubig ang kanyang tungkod at naging dugo nga ang tubig. 21 Namatay ang mga isda at bumaho ang ilog, kaya't hindi mainom ng mga Egipcio ang tubig nito. Naging dugo rin ang lahat ng tubig sa buong Egipto. 22 Ngunit nagaya rin ito ng mga salamangkerong Egipcio sa pamamagitan ng kanilang lihim na karunungan kaya't lalong nagmatigas ang Faraon. Ayaw pa rin niyang pakinggan sina Moises at Aaron, tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh. 23 Ang ginawa nila'y hindi pinansin ng Faraon, umuwi na lang ito sa palasyo. 24 Samantala, ang mga Egipcio ay humukay sa tabing ilog upang kumuha ng inumin sapagkat hindi nila mainom ang tubig sa ilog.
25 At lumipas ang pitong araw mula nang hampasin ni Yahweh ang tubig.
