Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, Jehovah has not appeared to thee.
OLELO aku la o Mose, i aku la, Aia hoi; aole paha auanei lakou e manaoio mai ia'u, aole hoi e hoolohe mai i ko'u leo; no ka mea, e olelo auanei lakou, Aole i ikeia 'ku o Iehova e oe.
2 And Jehovah said to him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A staff.
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Heaha kela mea ma kou lima? I aku la ia, He kookoo.
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
I mai la kela, E hoolei ia ilalo i ka honua. Hoolei iho la ia ilalo i ka honua, a lilo ae la ia i nahesa: a holo aku la o Mose mai kona maka aku.
4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand and take it by the tail — and he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand —
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E kikoo aku kou lima, a e lalau aku ma kona huelo. Kikoo aku la kona lima a lalau iho la, a hoi hou ae la ia i kookoo ma kona lima.
5 that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
Ilaila e manaoio ai lakou, ua ikea e oe o Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua hoi o Iakoba.
6 And Jehovah said moreover to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom, and took it out, and behold, his hand was leprous, as snow.
Olelo hou mai la o Iehova ia ia, E hooholo oe i kou lima ma kou umauma iho. Hooholo ae la ia i kona lima ma kona umauma, a i kona unuhi ana mai, aia hoi, ua lepera ia e like me ka hau.
7 And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again, and took it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his flesh.
I mai la oia, E hooholo hou ae oe i kou lima ma kou umauma. Hooholo hou i kona lima ma kona umauma, a unuhi hou mai, aia hoi, ua hoi hou ae la no e like me kekahi io ona.
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the other sign.
A ina aole lakou e manaoio mai ia oe, aole hoi e hoolohe mai i ka leo o ka hoailona mua, e manaoio paha lakou i ka leo o ka hoailona hope.
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also those two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour [it] on the dry [land]; and the water that thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land].
A ina aole lakou e manaoio mai i keia mau hoailona elua, aole hoi e hoolohe i kou leo, alaila e lawe ae oe i kahi wai o ka muliwai, a e ninini ma kahi maloo, a e lilo auanei ka wai au e lawe ai mailoko mai o ka muliwai, i koko ma kahi maloo.
10 And Moses said to Jehovah, Ah Lord! I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken to thy servant, for I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue.
I aku la o Mose ia Iehova, E kun Haku e, he kanaka akamai ole wau i ka olelo, aole mamua mai a hiki i keia wa au e olelo mai ai i kau kauwa nei, he kali ko'u waha, a he kali hoi ko'u elelo.
11 And Jehovah said to him, Who gave man a mouth? or who maketh dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? [have] not I, Jehovah?
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Nawai i hana ka waha o ke kanaka? Nawai hoi i hana i ka aa, a me ke kuli, a me ka ike, a me ka makapo? Aole anei na'u, na Iehova?
12 And now go, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
Nolaila, o hele, a owau pu no me kou waha, e ao aku ana ia oe i ka mea au e olelo aku ai.
13 And he said, Ah Lord! send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send.
I aku la ia, E kuu Haku e, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoouna aku oe ma ka lima o ka mea au e hoouna aku ai.
14 Then the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also behold, he goeth out to meet thee; and when he seeth thee he will be glad in his heart.
Wela mai la ka inaina o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la kela, Aole anei ke kaikuaana ou o Aarona ka Levi? Ua ike no au e hiki no ia ia ke olelo; aia hoi ke hele mai nei ia e halawai me oe: aia ike mai kela ia oe, e olioli auanei oia ma kona naau.
15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
Nau e olelo aku ia ia, a e waiho aku i na hua ma kona waha; a owau pu no me kou waha, a me kona waha, a e ao aku ia olua i ka olua mea e hana'i.
16 And he shall speak for thee unto the people; and it shall come to pass that he shall be to thee for a mouth, and thou shalt be to him for God.
A oia no kou mea nana e olelo aku i na kanaka: a e lilo no oia i waha nou, a o oe hoi nona e like me ke Akua.
17 And thou shalt take this staff in thy hand, with which thou shalt do the signs.
E lawe pu aku oe i keia kookoo maloko o kou lima, i mea e hana aku ai i na hoailona.
18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, that I may see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Alaila hele aku la o Mose a hoi aku la io Ietero la i kona makuahonowaikane, i aku la ia ia, E hele paha au, a hoi hou i o'u poe hoahanau aia ma Aigupita, i ike ai au i ko iakou ola ana. I mai la o Ietero ia Mose, O hele oe me ka maluhia.
19 And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought thy life.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose ma Midiana, E hele oe, a e hoi hou i Aigupita, no ka mea, ua make na kanaka a pau, ka poe i imi e lawe i kou ola.
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them riding upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.
Lawe ae la o Mose i kana wahine, a me kana mau keikikane, a hoonoho aku la ia lakou maluna o ka hoki, a hoi aku la ia i ka aina o Aigupita. A lawe pu aku la o Mose i ke kookoo o ke Akua maloko o kona lima.
21 And Jehovah said to Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put in thy hand. And I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, I kou hele ana aku e hoi i Aigupita, e ao oe, e hana aku imua o Parao i na hana mana a pau a'u i waiho ai maloko o kou lima: a na'u no e hoopaakiki i kona naau, i hookuu ole ai ia i na kanaka.
22 And thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah: Israel is my son, my firstborn.
E olelo aku oe ia Parao, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, O Iseraela no ka'u keikikane, o ka'u hiapo hoi;
23 And I say to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me. And if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
Ke olelo aku nei au ia oe, E hookuu oe i ka'u keiki, i malama mai ia ia'u: a ina e hoole mai oe i kona hookuuia, aia hoi, e pepehi aku no au i kau keikikane, i kau hiapo hoi.
24 And it came to pass on the way, in the inn, that Jehovah came upon him, and sought to slay him.
A hiki mai hoi ia ma ke ala, maloko o ka halekipa, halawai mai la o Iehova me ia, a imi iho la e pepehi ia ia.
25 Then Zipporah took a stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, A bloody husband indeed art thou to me!
Lalau aku la o Zipora i pahi, a okipoepoe iho la i ka omaka o kana keikikane, a hoolei iho la ma kona mau wawae, i mai la, He kane koko oe na'u.
26 And he let him go. Then she said, A bloody husband — because of the circumcision.
Hookuu iho la oia ia ia. Alaila olelo ae la ia, He kane koko oe no ke okipoepoe ana.
27 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.
I mai la o Iehova ia Aarona, E hele oe e halawai me Mose ma ka waonahele. Hele aku la ia, a halawai iho la ma ke kuahiwi o ke Akua, a honi ae la ia ia.
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah who had sent him, and all the signs that he had commanded him.
Hai ae la o Mose ia Aarona i na olelo a pau a Iehova, nana ia i hoouna mai, a me na ouli a pau ana i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel;
Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona, hoakoakoa iho la laua i na lunakahiko a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.
30 and Aaron spoke all the words that Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs before the eyes of the people.
Hai aku la o Aarona i na olelo a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Mose; a hana iho la ia i na ouli imua o na maka o kanaka.
31 And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Manaoio iho la no hoi na kanaka: a lohe pono no lakou, ua ike mai o Iehova i ka poe mamo a Iseraela, a ua nana mai hoi oia i ko lakou popilikia, alaila kulou iho la ko lakou poo, a hoomana aku la.
