1 Por eso, el Señor le dijo a Moisés: «Mira, cuando te presentes ante el faraón será como si yo mismo estuviera allí, y tu hermano Aarón será como tu profeta, el que habla en lugar tuyo.
1 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 Dile a Aarón todo lo que yo te diga, para que él se lo repita al faraón. Así que será Aarón el que le pedirá al faraón que deje salir de Egipto a mi pueblo Israel.
2 You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 Pero yo haré que el faraón se niegue a hacerlo. Yo entonces multiplicaré mis milagros en la tierra de Egipto.
3 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 Aun así el faraón no los oirá; por lo que traeré sobre Egipto un desastre final de grandes proporciones, y luego sacaré a mi pueblo de esta tierra.
4 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 Cuando les muestre mi poder y los obligue a dejar salir a mi pueblo, los egipcios comprenderán que yo soy el Señor».
5 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”
6 Moisés y Aarón hicieron lo que el Señor les había ordenado.
6 Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did.
7 Cuando se presentaron ante el faraón, Moisés tenía ochenta años y Aarón, ochenta y tres.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 El Señor les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
8 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 «El faraón les exigirá un milagro que demuestre que yo los he enviado. Cuando lo haga, Aarón arrojará al suelo la vara, y esta se convertirá en serpiente».
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”
10 Entonces Moisés y Aarón fueron a ver al faraón, y realizaron el milagro de la manera que el Señor les había dicho: Aarón arrojó al suelo la vara ante el faraón, y esta se convirtió en serpiente.
10 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yahweh had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Pero el faraón llamó a sus encantadores, los magos de Egipto, y ellos hicieron lo mismo mediante sus artes mágicas.
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
12 Pero la serpiente de Aarón se tragó a todas las serpientes de ellos.
12 For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 El corazón del faraón permaneció duro y obstinado y no quiso oír, tal como el Señor lo había advertido.
13 Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
14 El Señor le dijo a Moisés que el faraón era terco y se empeñaría en no dejar salir de Egipto al pueblo de Israel.
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 Pero que, a pesar de eso, debería regresar por la mañana, cuando el faraón salía a bañarse, y esperarlo a las orillas del Nilo. Y le recordó que debía llevar la vara que se había convertido en serpiente.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.
16 Además, le dijo que cuando estuviera frente al faraón, le dijera: «El Señor, el Dios de los hebreos, me ha dicho que vuelva a pedirte que dejes que mi pueblo salga a adorarlo en el desierto. Como no quisiste oír antes,
16 You shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you haven’t listened.”
17 ahora el Señor te dice lo siguiente: “Vas a saber que yo soy el Señor, porque le he dado orden a Moisés de tocar el agua del Nilo con su vara, y el río se transformará en sangre.
17 Yahweh says, “In this you shall know that I am Yahweh. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Morirán los peces, y el río apestará, de tal modo que los egipcios no querrán beber su agua”».
18 The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.”’”
19 El Señor ordenó a Moisés: «Dile a Aarón que dirija su vara hacia las aguas de Egipto, para que todos sus ríos, arroyos, estanques y los depósitos de agua, y aun el agua de las casas, se les convierta en sangre».
19 Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your 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. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
20 Mientras el faraón y todos sus funcionarios miraban, Aarón tocó con su vara la superficie del Nilo, y el agua se convirtió en sangre.
20 Moses and Aaron did so, as Yahweh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck 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 Los peces murieron, y el agua se contaminó, de tal modo que los egipcios tuvieron asco de beberla, y hubo sangre en todo Egipto.
21 The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Pero los magos usaron sus artes secretas y también pudieron convertir el agua en sangre. Por lo tanto, el faraón persistió en su terquedad y no quiso escuchar a Moisés y a Aarón, tal como el Señor lo había advertido.
22 The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
23 El faraón regresó a su palacio, como si nada importante hubiera acontecido.
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
24 Entonces los egipcios cavaron pozos a lo largo del río para conseguir agua, porque no podían beber el agua del río.
24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
25 Después de que el Señor golpeó las aguas del Nilo, pasaron siete días.
25 Seven days were fulfilled, after Yahweh had struck the river.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… says, "looking towards heaven, and observing the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and all the ornament of heaven, falling into error, thou shouldest adore and serve them." And Moses himself, being a man of God, was indeed given as a god before Pharaoh; but he is not properly termed Lord, nor is called God by the prophets, but …
For the magicians did likewise, and casting down their rods they exhibited serpents: but the serpent of Moses swallowed up the rods of all those magicians. Let there be perceived therefore even now the body of the devil: this is what is coming to pass, he is being devoured by the Gentiles who have believed, he hath become meat for …
