7 — Exodus

1And the Lord said to Moses: Behold, I have appointed thee the god of Pharao; and Aaron, thy brother, shall be thy prophet.E il Signore disse a Mosè: Ecco che io ti ho costituito dio di Faraone: e Aronne tuo fratello sarà tuo profeta.AND our Lord said to Moyses: Behold I haue appointed thee the God of Pharao: and Aaron thy brother shal be thy prophet.Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce constitui te Deum Pharaonis: et Aaron frater tuus erit propheta tuus. 2Thou shalt speak to him all that I command thee; and he shall speak to Pharao, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.Tu dirai a lui tutto quello che io ordino a te: ed egli dirà a Faraone, che lasci partire dal suo paese i figliuoli d'Israele.Thou shalt speake to him al thinges that I command thee: and he shal speake to Pharao, that he dismisse the children of Israel out of his land.Tu loqueris ei omnia quæ mando tibi: et ille loquetur ad Pharaonem, ut dimittat filios Israël de terra sua. 3But I shall harden his heart, and shall multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.Ma io indurerò il cuore di lui, e moltiplicherò i segni, e i prodigi miei nella terra di Egitto;But I wil indurate his hart, and wil multiplie my signes and wonders in the Land of Aegypt,Sed ego indurabo cor ejus, et multiplicabo signa et ostenta mea in terra Ægypti, 4And he will not hear you: and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and will bring forth my army and my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt, by very great judgments.Ed ei non vi ascolterà: e io stenderò la mia mano sopra l'Egitto, e ne trarrò i figliuoli d'Israele, esercito e popolo mio dalla terra d'Egitto per mezzo di grandi vendette.and he wil not heare you: and I wil put in my hand vpon Aegypt, and wil bring forth my armie and people the children of Israel out of the Land of Aegypt, by very great iudgements.et non audiet vos: immittamque manum meam super Ægyptum, et educam exercitum et populum meum filios Israël de terra Ægypti per judicia maxima. 5And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, who have stretched forth my hand upon Egypt, and have brought forth the children of Israel out of the midst of them.E conosceranno gli Egiziani, che io sono il Signore, che stenderò la mia mano sopra l'Egitto, e trarrò i figliuoli d'Israele di mezzo ad essi.And the Aegyptians shal know that I am the Lord, which haue stretched forth my hand vpon Aegypt, and haue brought forth the children of Israel out of the middes of themEt scient Ægyptii quia ego sum Dominus qui extenderim manum meam super Ægyptum, et eduxerim filios Israël de medio eorum.

6And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded; so did they.Fece adunque Mosè, e Aronne, conforme avea comandato il Signore: così fecero.Therfore Moyses and Aaron did as our Lord had commanded: so did they.Fecit itaque Moyses et Aaron sicut præceperat Dominus: ita egerunt. 7And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharao.E Mosè avea ottant'anni, e Aronne ottantatré, quando parlarono a Faraone.And Moyses was eightie yeares old, and Aaron eightie three, when they spake to Pharao.Erat autem Moyses octoginta annorum, et Aaron octoginta trium, quando locuti sunt ad Pharaonem. 8And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:E il Signore disse a Mosè, e ad Aronne:And our Lord said to Moyses and Aaron:Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron: 9When Pharao shall say to you, Shew signs; thou shalt say to Aaron: Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharao, and it shall be turned into a serpent.Quando Faraone vi dirà: Fate vedere i miracoli: tu dirai ad Aronne: Prendi la tua verga, e gettala davanti a Faraone; ed ella si cangerà in serpente.When Pharao shal say vnto you, Shew signes: thou shalt say to Aaron: Take thy rodde, and cast it before Pharao, and it shal be turned into a serpent.Cum dixerit vobis Pharao, Ostendite signa: dices ad Aaron: Tolle virgam tuam, et projice eam coram Pharaone, ac vertetur in colubrum. 10So Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharao, and did as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the rod before Pharao and his servants, and it was turned into a serpent.Andati adunque Mosè, e Aronne a trovar Faraone, fecero, come il Signore avea lor comandato: e Aronne gettò la verga dinanzi a Faraone, e dinanzi a' servi di lui, e quella si cangiò in serpente.Therfore Moyses and Aaron going in vnto Pharao, did as our Lord had commanded. And Aaron tooke the rodde before Pharao and his seruantes, the which was turned into a serpent.Ingressi itaque Moyses et Aaron ad Pharaonem, fecerunt sicut præceperat Dominus: tulitque Aaron virgam coram Pharaone et servis ejus, quæ versa est in colubrum. 11And Pharao called the wise men and the magicians; and they also by Egyptian enchantments and certain secrets, did in like manner.Ma Faraone chiamò i sapienti, e i maghi: e questi ancora mediante gl'incantesimi egiziani, e mediante certi segreti fecero il simile.And Pharao called the wise men and the enchanters: and they also by Aegyptian enchantments and certaine secrecies did in like maner.Vocavit autem Pharao sapientes et maleficos: et fecerunt etiam ipsi per incantationes ægyptiacas et arcana quædam similiter. 12And they every one cast down their rods, and they were turned into serpents: but Aaron’s rod devoured their rods.E gettarono ognun di essi le loro verghe, le quali si mutarono in dragoni: ma la verga di Aronne divorò le loro verghe.And euery one did cast forth their roddes, the which were turned into dragons: but Aarons rodde deuoured their roddes.Projeceruntque singuli virgas suas, quæ versæ sunt in dracones: sed devoravit virga Aaron virgas eorum.

13And Pharao’s heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as the Lord had commanded.E s'indurò il cuore di Faraone; e non gli ascoltò, come il Signore avea ordinato.And Pharaos hart was indurate, and he heard them not, as our Lord had commanded.Induratumque est cor Pharaonis, et non audivit eos, sicut præceperat Dominus. 14And the Lord said to Moses: Pharao’s heart is hardened, he will not let the people go.E il Signore disse a Mosè: Il cuore di Faraone è ostinato: non vuol lasciar partire il mio popolo.And our Lord said to Moyses: Pharaoes hart is aggrauated, he wil not dismisse the people.Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Ingravatum est cor Pharaonis: non vult dimittere populum. 15Go to him in the morning, behold he will go out to the waters: and thou shalt stand to meet him on the bank of the river: and thou shalt take in thy hand the rod that was turned into a serpent.Va' a trovarlo al mattino, quando anderà al fiume: e tu sta attendendolo sulla riva del fiume: e prendi in mano la verga, che si cangiò in dragone.Goe to him in the morning, behold he wil goe forth to the waters: and thou shalt stand to meete him vpon the banke of the riuer: and the rodde that was turned into a dragon, thou shalt take in thy hand.Vade ad eum mane, ecce egredietur ad aquas: et stabis in occursum ejus super ripam fluminis: et virgam quæ conversa est in draconem, tolles in manu tua. 16And thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to thee, saying: Let my people go to sacrifice to me in the desert: and hitherto thou wouldst not hear.E gli dirai: Il Signore Dio degli Ebrei mi mandò a dirti: Lascia andare il mio popolo ad offerirmi sacrifizio nel deserto: e tu, fino al presente non hai voluto dar retta.And thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrewes sent me to thee, saying: Dismisse my people to sacrifice vnto me in the desert: and vntil this present thou wouldest not heare.Dicesque ad eum: Dominus Deus Hebræorum misit me ad te, dicens: Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi in deserto: et usque ad præsens audire noluisti. 17Thus therefore saith the Lord: In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold I will strike with the rod, that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it shall be turned into blood.Il Signore adunque dice queste cose: Da questo conoscerai, ch'io sono il Signore: Ecco ch'io percuoterò colla verga, che ho in mano, l'acqua del fiume, ed ella si cangerà in sangue.This therfore saith our Lord: In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold I wil strike with the rodde, that is in my hand, the water of the riuer, and it shal be turned into bloud.Hæc igitur dicit Dominus: In hoc scies quod sim Dominus: ecce percutiam virga, quæ in manu mea est, aquam fluminis, et vertetur in sanguinem.

18And the fishes that are in the river, shall die, and the waters shall be corrupted, and the Egyptians shall be afflicted when they drink the water of the river.I pesci ancora, che sono nel fiume morranno, e si corromperanno le acque, e gli Egiziani, che bevon l'acqua del fiume, patiranno.The fishes also, that are in the riuer, shal dye, and the waters shal putrifie, and the Aegyptians shal be afflicted drinking the water of the riuer.Pisces quoque, qui sunt in fluvio, morientur, et computrescent aquæ, et affligentur Ægyptii bibentes aquam fluminis. 19The Lord also said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Take thy rod; and stretch forth thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, and upon their rivers, and streams and pools, and all the ponds of waters, that they may be turned into blood: and let blood be in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and of stone.Disse ancora il Signore a Mosè: Di' ad Aronne: Prendi la tua verga, e stendi la tua mano sopra le acque d'Egitto, e sopra i loro fiumi, e rivi, e paludi, e su tutti i laghi di acque, affinché si cangino in sangue: e sangue sia in tutta la terra d'Egitto, tanto nei vasi di legno, come in quei di pietra.Our Lord also said to Moyses: Say vnto Aaron, Take thy rodde, and stretch forth thy hand vpon the waters of Aegypt, and vpon their floudes, and riuers and pooles, and al the lakes of waters, that they may be turned into bloud: and be there bloud in al the Land of Aegypt, as wel in the vessels of wood as of stone.Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: Dic ad Aaron: Tolle virgam tuam, et extende manum tuam super aquas Ægypti, et super fluvios eorum, et rivos ac paludes, et omnes lacus aquarum, ut vertantur in sanguinem: et sit cruor in omni terra Ægypti, tam in ligneis vasis quam in saxeis. 20And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had commanded: and lifting up the rod, he struck the water of the river before Pharao and his servants: and it was turned into blood.E fecer Mosè, e Aronne, conforme avea ordinato il Signore; e quegli alzata la verga percosse l'acqua del fiume alla presenza di Faraone, e de' suoi servi: e quella si converse in sangue.And Moyses and Aaron did as our Lord had commanded: and lifting vp the rodde he stroke the water of the riuer before Pharao and his seruantes: which was turned into bloud.Feceruntque Moyses et Aaron sicut præceperat Dominus: et elevans virgam percussit aquam fluminis coram Pharaone et servis ejus: quæ versa est in sanguinem. 21And the fishes that were in the river died; and the river corrupted, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river, and there was blood in all the land of Egypt.E i pesci, che eran nel fiume, morirono: e il fiume si corruppe, e non poteano gli Egiziani bere l'acqua del fiume; e sangue fu per tutta la terra di Egitto.And the fishes, that were in the riuer, died: and the riuer, putrified, and the Aegyptians could not drincke the water of the riuer, and there was bloud in the whole Land of Aegypt.Et pisces, qui erant in flumine, mortui sunt: computruitque fluvius, et non poterant Ægyptii bibere aquam fluminis, et fuit sanguis in tota terra Ægypti.

22And the magicians of the Egyptians with their enchantments did in like manner; and Pharao’s heart was hardened, neither did he hear them, as the Lord had commanded.E fecero il simile i maghi degli Egiziani co' loro incantesimi: e s'indurò il cuore di Faraone, e non ascoltò Mosè, e Aronne, conforme avea loro ordinato il Signore.And the enchaunters of the Aegyptians with their enchantments did in like maner: and Pharaoes hart was indurate, neither did he heare them, as our Lord had commaunded.Feceruntque similiter malefici Ægyptiorum incantationibus suis: et induratum est cor Pharaonis, nec audivit eos, sicut præceperat Dominus. 23And he turned himself away, and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to it this time also.E volse ad essi le spalle, ed entrò nella sua casa, e non si piegò il cuore di lui neppur questa volta.And he turned away him selfe, and went into his house, neither did he yet set his hart to it this time also.Avertitque se, et ingressus est domum suam, nec apposuit cor etiam hac vice. 24And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.E tutti gli Egiziani scavarono intorno al fiume per trovar acqua da bere, non potendo bere l'acqua del fiume.And al the Aegyptians digged round about the riuer for water to drinke: for they could not drinke of the water of the riuer.Foderunt autem omnes Ægyptii per circuitum fluminis aquam ut biberent: non enim poterant bibere de aqua fluminis. 25And seven days were fully ended, after that the Lord struck the river.E passaron sette interi giorni, dopo che il Signore ebbe percorso il fiumeAnd seuen dayes were fully ended, after that our Lord stroke the riuer.Impletique sunt septem dies, postquam percussit Dominus fluvium.
