Exodus 7
1 The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Na, kua oti koe te mea e ahau hei atua ki a Parao; ko Arona hoki, ko tou tuakana, hei poropiti mau.
2 You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land.
Korerotia nga mea katoa e ki ai ahau ki a koe; a ma Arona, ma tou tuakana, e korero ki a Parao, kia tukua e ia nga tama a Iharaira i tona whenua.
3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
A maku e whakapakeke te ngakau o Parao, e whakamaha hoki aku tohu me aku merekara ki te whenua o Ihipa.
4 Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt, and by mighty acts of judgment I will bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
Otiia e kore a Parao e rongo ki a korua, a ka pa toku ringa ki Ihipa, he nui ano hoki nga whakawa e whakaputaina ai e ahau aku mano tini, taku iwi, nga tama a Iharaira, i te whenua o Ihipa.
5 And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.”
A e mohio nga Ihipiana ko Ihowa ahau, ina totoro toku ringa ki Ihipa, a ka whakaputaina mai e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i roto i a ratou.
6 So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them.
I mea ano a Mohi raua ko Arona i ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a raua, pera ana raua.
7 Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.
A e waru tekau nga tau o Mohi, e waru tekau ma toru nga tau o Arona, i ta raua korerotanga ki a Parao.
8 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
9 “When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ you are to say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a serpent.”
Ki te puta ki a korua ta Parao kupu, Tena koa, tetahi merekara i a korua; ko reira koe mea ai ki a Arona, E mau ki tau tokotoko, maka iho ki te aroaro o Parao, a ka nakahi.
10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent.
Na ka haere a Mohi raua ko Arona ki a Parao, a peratia ana e raua me ta Ihowa i mea ai: maka iho ana e Arona tona tokotoko ki te aroaro o Parao, ki te aroaro hoki o ana tangata, na, kua nakahi.
11 But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts.
Na ka karanga hoki a Parao i nga tangata mohio, i nga tohunga maori: na, ko ratou, ko nga tohunga o Ihipa, i pera ano ratou ki a ratou nei karakia maori.
12 Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up the other staffs.
Maka iho ana hoki e tenei, e tenei, a ratou tokotoko, a nakahi ana: otiia i horomia a ratou tokotoko e te tokotoko a Arona.
13 Still, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
Na ka whakapakeketia e ia te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i rongo ki a raua, ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai.
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go.
I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, E pakeke ana te ngakau o Parao, kahore ia e whakaae ana ki te tuku i te iwi.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning as you see him walking out to the water. Wait on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a snake.
Haere ki a Parao i te ata, na, e haere ana ia ki te wai; a hei te pareparenga o te awa tu atu ai koe ki a ia; ko te tokotoko hoki i nakahi ra, maua i tou ringa.
16 Then say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to tell you: Let My people go, so that they may worship Me in the wilderness. But you have not listened until now.
A ka mea koe ki a ia, Na Ihowa, na te Atua o nga Hiperu ahau i unga mai ki a koe; e mea ana ia, Tukua taku iwi kia mahi ki ahau i te koraha: titiro, kahore koe kia rongo a mohoa noa nei.
17 This is what the LORD says: By this you will know that I am the LORD. Behold, with the staff in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, ma konei e mohio ai koe ko Ihowa ahau: nana, maku e patu nga wai i te awa ki te tokotoko i toku ringa, a ka riro ke hei toto.
18 The fish in the Nile will die, the river will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink its water.’”
E mate hoki nga ika i roto i te awa, a e piro te awa; a e anuanu nga Ihipiana ki te inu i te wai o te awa.
19 And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over their rivers and canals and ponds and reservoirs—that they may become blood.’ There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in the vessels of wood and stone.”
A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Mea atu ki a Arona, E mau ki tau tokotoko, totoro hoki tou ringa ki nga wai o Ihipa, ki o ratou wai e rere ana, ki o ratou awa, ki o ratou roto, ki o ratou huihuinga wai katoa, kia meinga ai hei toto; a ka whai toto nga oko rakau, kohatu hoki, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
20 Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials, Aaron raised the staff and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was turned to blood.
A peratia ana e Mohi raua ko Arona me ta Ihowa i ako ai; hapainga ana e ia te tokotoko, patua ana ki nga wai o te awa, i te tirohanga a Parao, i te tirohanga ano hoki a ana tangata; a riro ke ana hei toto nga wai katoa o te awa.
21 The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink its water. And there was blood throughout the land of Egypt.
A mate ana nga ika i te awa; a piro ana te awa, kihai hoki i ahei i nga Ihipiana te inu i te wai o te awa: na he toto tera i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
A, peratia ana e nga tohunga o Ihipa ki a ratou na mahi maori: a ka whakapakeketia te ngakau o Parao, kahore hoki ia i whakarongo ki a raua; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa i korero ai.
23 Instead, Pharaoh turned around, went into his palace, and did not take any of this to heart.
Na tahuri ana a Parao, haere ana ki roto ki tona whare, kihai ano hoki i whakaanga i tona ngakau ki tenei.
24 So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
Na ka keri nga Ihipiana katoa ki nga taha o te awa i te wai hei inu; kihai hoki i ahei te inu i te wai o te awa.
25 And seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
Na kua rite nga ra e whitu i muri i ta Ihowa patunga i te awa.
