1 Entonces Yavé dijo a Moisés: Mira, te designé como ʼelohim ante Faraón, y tu hermano Aarón será tu profeta.
1 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 Tú hablarás cuanto Yo te ordene, y tu hermano Aarón hablará a Faraón para que deje salir de su tierra a los hijos de 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 Sin embargo, Yo endureceré el corazón de Faraón, y aunque multiplique mis señales y mis prodigios 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 cuando Faraón no los escuche, entonces Yo asentaré mi mano sobre Egipto, y con grandes juicios sacaré de la tierra de Egipto a mis escuadrones, mi pueblo, los hijos de Israel.
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 Y los egipcios sabrán que Yo soy Yavé cuando extienda mi mano sobre Egipto y saque a los hijos de Israel de en medio de ellos.
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 como Yavé les ordenó. Así hicieron.
6 Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did.
7 Moisés tenía 80 años y Aarón 83 cuando hablaron a Faraón.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Yavé habló a Moisés y a Aarón:
8 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 Cuando Faraón les hable: Hagan un prodigio, entonces dirás a Aarón: Toma tu vara y échala delante de Faraón para que se convierta en una 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 Moisés y Aarón fueron a Faraón e hicieron como Yavé ordenó. Aarón echó su vara ante Faraón y sus esclavos, y 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 Faraón también llamó sabios y hechiceros. Los hechiceros de Egipto también hicieron lo mismo con sus encantamientos,
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 pues cada uno echó su vara y se convirtieron en serpientes. Sin embargo, la vara de Aarón devoró las varas de ellos.
12 For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Y tal como Yavé dijo, el corazón de Faraón se endureció y no los escuchó.
13 Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
14 Entonces Yavé dijo a Moisés: El corazón de Faraón se endureció y no quiere dejar que el pueblo se vaya.
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 Vé a Faraón por la mañana cuando él sale al agua, y ubícate en la orilla del Nilo. Lleva en tu mano la vara que se convirtió 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 y dile: Yavé, el ʼElohim de los hebreos, me envió a ti para decirte: Deja salir a mi pueblo para que me sirva en el desierto. Pero en verdad no has obedecido hasta ahora.
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 Yavé dice: Por esto sabrás que Yo soy Yavé. Mira, golpearé el agua del Nilo con la vara que tengo en mi mano, y se convertirá 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 Los peces que están en el Nilo morirán, el río hederá, y los egipcios tendrán asco de beber agua del Nilo.
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 Yavé dijo a Moisés: Dí a Aarón: Toma tu vara y extiende tu mano sobre las aguas de Egipto, sus ríos, sus arroyos, sus pozos, sus estanques y todos sus depósitos de agua para que se conviertan en sangre. Haya sangre por toda la tierra de Egipto tanto en las vasijas de madera como en las de piedra.
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 Moisés y Aarón hicieron lo que Yavé ordenó. Él alzó la vara y golpeó las aguas que estaban en el Nilo delante de Faraón y de sus esclavos. Y todas las aguas del Nilo se convirtieron 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 que estaban en el Nilo murieron y el río hedió. Los egipcios no pudieron beber el agua del Nilo. Hubo sangre por toda la tierra de 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 hechiceros de Egipto hicieron lo mismo con sus encantamientos. Tal como Yavé lo predijo, el corazón de Faraón se endureció, y no los escuchó.
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 Faraón regresó a su palacio sin alguna preocupación sobre esto.
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
24 Todos los egipcios excavaron pozos alrededor del Nilo para beber agua, porque no podían beber agua del Nilo.
24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
25 Siete días transcurrieron después que Yavé golpeó el Nilo.
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 …
