Exodus 7
1 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, I have appointed you as the god of Pharaoh. And Aaron, your brother, 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 will speak to him all that I command you. And he will speak to Pharaoh, so that he may release the sons of Israel from 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 his heart, and 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 and he will not listen to you. And I will send my hand over Egypt, and I will lead my army and my people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt, through very great judgments.
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, who has extended my hand over Egypt, and who has led the sons of Israel from their midst.”
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 And so, Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And so it was done.
I mea ano a Mohi raua ko Arona i ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a raua, pera ana raua.
7 Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron 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 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
9 “When Pharaoh will say to you, ‘Show signs,’ you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will be turned into a snake.’”
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 And so Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they did just as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the staff in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and it was turned into a snake.
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 Then Pharaoh called the wise men and the sorcerers. And they also, by Egyptian incantations and certain secrets, did similarly.
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 And each one cast down their staffs, and they were turned into serpents. But the staff of Aaron devoured their 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 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
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: “The heart of Pharaoh has been hardened; he is not willing to release the people.
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 him in the morning; behold, he will go out to the waters. And you will stand to meet him above the bank of the river. And you will take, in your hand, the staff that was turned into a serpent.
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 And you will say to him: ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to you, saying: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me in the desert. And even until the present time, you were not willing to listen.
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 Therefore, thus says the Lord: In this you will know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike, with the staff that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it will be turned into 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 Also, the fishes that are in the river will die, and the waters will be polluted, and the Egyptians will be afflicted when they drink the water of the river.’”
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 The Lord also said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Take your staff; and extend your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers and streams and marshes and all the pools of waters, so that they may be turned into blood. And let there be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, as much in vessels of wood as in those of 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 And Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And lifting up the staff, he struck the water of the river in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants. And it was turned into 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 And the fishes that were in the river died, and the river was polluted, and the Egyptians were not able to drink the water of the river, and there was blood throughout the entire 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 And the sorcerers of the Egyptians, with their incantations, did similarly. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
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 And he turned himself away, and he entered his house, neither did he apply his heart to this turn of events.
Na tahuri ana a Parao, haere ana ki roto ki tona whare, kihai ano hoki i whakaanga i tona ngakau ki tenei.
24 Then all the Egyptians dug along the borders of the river for water to drink. For they were not able to drink from the water of 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 days were completed, after the Lord struck the river.
Na kua rite nga ra e whitu i muri i ta Ihowa patunga i te awa.
