< Exodus 3 >

1 Now Moses was looking after the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he took the flock to the back of the waste land and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
HANAI iho la o Mose i na holoholona a Ietero a kona makuahonowaikane, a ke kahuna ma Midiana; alakai aku la no ia i na holoholona ma ke kua o ka waonahele, a hiki aku la i ke kuahiwi o ke Akua, i Horeba.
2 And the angel of the Lord was seen by him in a flame of fire coming out of a thorn-tree: and he saw that the tree was on fire, but it was not burned up.
Ikea mai la e ia ka anela o Iehova maloko o ka lapalapa o ke ahi mawaenakonu o ka laalaau: nana aku la ia, aia hoi, e aa ana ka laalaau i ko ahi, aole nae i pau ka laau.
3 And Moses said, I will go and see this strange thing, why the tree is not burned up,
I iho la o Mose, E kipa ae no wau e ike i keia mea nui, i ka mea i pau ole ai ka laau i ke ahi.
4 And when the Lord saw him turning to one side to see, God said his name out of the tree, crying, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
A ike mai la o Iehova i kona huli ana e makaikai, hea mai la ke Akua ia ia mailoko mai o ua laalaau la, E Mose, e Mose. I aku la ia, Eia no wau.
5 And he said, Do not come near: take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy.
I mai la kela, Mai hookokoke mai oe: e wehe ae oe i kou mau kamaa mai kou mau kapuwai aku, no ka mea, o kahi au e ku nei, he aina hoano ia.
6 And he said, I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses kept his face covered for fear of looking on God.
I mai la hoi oia, Owau no ke Akua o kou makuakane, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua hoi o Iakoba. Papani iho la o Mose i kona maka; no ka mea, ua makau ia ke nana aku i ke Akua.
7 And God said, Truly, I have seen the grief of my people in Egypt, and their cry because of their cruel masters has come to my ears; for I have knowledge of their sorrows;
I mai la o Iehova, I kuu nana ana ua ike no wau i ka luhi ana o ko'u poe kanaka ma Aigupita, ua lohe no hoi au i ka lakou kaniuhu ana, no na luna hooluhi o lakou; ua ike hoi au i ko lakou ehaeha ana.
8 And I have come down to take them out of the hands of the Egyptians, guiding them out of that land into a good land and wide, into a land flowing with milk and honey; into the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
Ua iho mai nei au ilalo nei e hookuu ia lakou mai ka lima mai o ko Aigupita, a e lawe mai ia lakou mai ia aina mai, a kekahi aina maikai. a nui no hoi. he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli; i kahi o ka poe Kanaana, a me ka Heta, a me ka Amora, a me ka Pereza, a me ka Hiva, a me ka Iebusa.
9 For now, truly, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I have seen the cruel behaviour of the Egyptians to them.
Eia hoi, no ka mea, ua hiki mai io'u nei ke kaniuhu ana o na mamo a Iseraela; a na ike no hoi au i ka luhi ana a ko Aigupita i hooluhi iho ai ia lakou.
10 Come, then, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may take my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.
Nolaila la, e hele mai oe, a na'u no oe e hoouna aku io Parao la, i lawe mai ai oe i o'u poe kanaka, i na mamo a Iseraela mailoko ae o Aigupita.
11 And Moses said to God, Who am I to go to Pharaoh and take the children of Israel out of Egypt?
I aku la o Mose i ke Akua, Owai la wau, i hele aku ai au io Parao la, a i lawe mai ai hoi au i na mamo a Iseraela mailoko mai o Aigupita?
12 And he said, Truly I will be with you; and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: when you have taken the children of Israel out of Egypt, you will give worship to God on this mountain.
I mai la kela, He oiaio, owau no kekahi me oe, eia hoi ka hoailona o ko'u hoouna ana aku ia oe; i ka wa au e lawe mai ai i ka poe kanaka mai Aigupita mai, e hoomana auanei oukou i ke Akua ma keia kuahiwi.
13 And Moses said to God, When I come to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you: and they say to me, What is his name? what am I to say to them?
Ninau aku la o Mose i ke Akua, Aia hoi, a hiki aku au i na mamo a Iseraela, a e olelo au ia lakou, Na ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna owau i hoouna mai io oukou nei, a e ninau lakou ia'u, Owai kona inoa? Pehea la hoi ka'u e olelo aku ai ia lakou?
14 And God said to him, I AM WHAT I AM: and he said, Say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.
I mai la ke Akua ia Mose, OWAU MAU LOA AKU NO. I mai la hoi oia, Penei kau e olelo aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela, OWAU MAU, oia ka i hoouna mai ia'u io oukou nei.
15 And God went on to say to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my sign to all generations.
I hou mai la ke Akua ia Mose, Penei oe e olelo aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela, Na Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua o Iakoba, owau i hoouna mai io oukou nei. Oia no ko'u inoa mau loa, oia hoi ko'u mea e hoomanaoia i ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.
16 Go and get together the chiefs of the children of Israel, and say to them, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by me, and has said, Truly I have taken up your cause, because of what is done to you in Egypt;
O hele oe, a e hoakoakoa ae i ka poe lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, a e olelo aku ia lakou, Ua ikeia'ku e au o Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna, ke Akua o Aberahama, o Isaaka a o Iakoba; ua olelo mai oia, Ua ike io no au ia oukou, a me ka mea i hanaia mai ia oukou ma Aigupita.
17 And I have said, I will take you up out of the sorrows of Egypt into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, into a land flowing with milk and honey.
Ua olelo hoi au, Na'u no oukou e lawe aku iluna, mailoko ae o ka popilikia o Aigupita, a hiki i ka aina o ka Kanaana a me ka Heta a me ka Amora a me ka Pereza a me ka Hiva, a me ka Iebusa, i ka aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
18 And they will give ear to your voice: and you, with the chiefs of Israel, will go to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has come to us: let us then go three days' journey into the waste land to make an offering to the Lord our God.
A e hoolohe mai lakou i kou leo: a e hele pu oe me ka poe lunakahiko o ka Iseraela i ke alii o Aigupita, a e olelo aku oukou ia ia, Ua halawai mai me makou o Iehova ke Akua o ka poe Hebera: no ia mea, e hookuu mai oe ia makou e hele ma ka waonahele, i ekolu la hele, e kaumaha aku ai na Iehova ko makou Akua.
19 And I am certain that the king of Egypt will not let you go without being forced.
Ua ike no nae au, aole e hookuu mai ke alii o Aigupita ia oukou, aole no ma ka lima ikaika.
20 But I will put out my hand and overcome Egypt with all the wonders which I will do among them: and after that he will let you go.
Aka, e o aku no wau i ko'u lima, a e paopao wau ia Aigupita me na mea mana a pau a'u e hana aku ai mawaena konu o lakou: a mahope e hookuu no oia ia oukou.
21 And I will give this people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that when you go out you will go out with your hands full.
Ae haawi aku wau i ka lokomaikai i keia poe kanaka imua o na maka o ko Aigupita, a i ka wa a oukou e hele mai ai, aole oukou e hele nele mai.
22 For every woman will get from her neighbour and from the woman living in her house, ornaments of silver and gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and your daughters; you will take the best of their goods from the Egyptians.
E noi aku no kela wahine keia wahine i kona hoalauna, a i ka mea e noho pu ana maloko o kona hale, i na mea kala, a me na mea gula, a me na mea aahu, a e hoaahu iho oukou i ka oukou poe keikikane, a me ka oukou poe kaikamahine; e hao hoi oukou i ko Aigupita.
