< Exodus 7 >

1 The Lord told Moses, “Look, I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
I MAI la o Iehova ia Mose, e nana hoi, ua hoonoho wau ia oe i akua no Parao, a o Aarona kou kaikuaana, oia no auanei kou kaula.
2 You are to repeat everything that I tell you to say, and your brother Aaron must repeat it to Pharaoh so that he will let the Israelites leave his country.
O na mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku ai ia oe, oia kau e hai aku ai: a o Aarona kou kaikuaana ke olelo aku ia Parao, e hoouna aku ia i na mamo a Iseraela mai kona aina aku.
3 But I will give Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and though I will perform many signs and wonders in Egypt, he won't listen to you.
A e hoopaakiki auanei au i ka naau o Parao, a e hana no au i ko'u mau ouli a nui, a me ko'u mau mea mana ma ka aina o Aigupita.
4 Then I will attack Egypt, imposing heavy punishments on them, and I will lead out by their tribes my people the Israelites.
Aole nae e hoolohe mai o Parao ia olua, i kau aku ai au i ko'u lima maluna o Aigupita, a e lawe mai iwaho i ko'u poe kaua i ka poe kanaka o'u, i na mamo a Iseraela, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, me ka hoopai nui aku.
5 In this way the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord—when I take action against Egypt and lead the Israelites out of the country.”
A e ike auanei ko Aigupita, owau no Iehova, ia'u e hookakauha aku ai i ko'u lima maluna o Aigupita, a e lawe mai i na mamo a Iseraela maiwaena mai o lakou.
6 Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered.
Hana iho la o Mose laua o Aarona, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia laua; pela laua i hana aku ai.
7 Moses was eighty and Aaron was eighty-three when they went and spoke to Pharaoh.
He kanawalu na makahiki o Mose, a he kanawalu na makahiki o Aarona a me kumamakolu, i ka wa a laua i olelo aku ai ia Parao.
8 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, i mai la,
9 “When Pharaoh asks you, ‘Why don't you perform a miracle, then?’ tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick and throw it down in front of Pharaoh,’ and it will turn into a snake.”
I ka wa e olelo mai ai o Parao ia olua, i ka i ana mai, E hoike mai olua i kekahi hana mana; alaila e olelo ae oe ia Aarona, E lalau i kou kookoo, a e kiola iho imua o Parao, a e lilo ia i nahesa:
10 Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had ordered. Aaron threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it turned into a snake.
Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona io Parao la, hana iho la laua e like me ke kauoha ana a Iehova, a kiola iho la o Aarona i kona kookoo imua o Parao, a imua o kana poe kauwa, a lilo iho la ia i nahesa.
11 But Pharaoh called in wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts.
Kii aku la hoi o Parao i na kanaka akamai, a me na kilo; a o na magoi o Aigupita, hana iho la hoi lakou pela, i ko lakou kilokilo ana.
12 Each of them threw down their walking sticks and they also turned into snakes, but Aaron's walking stick swallowed up all their walking sticks.
No ka mea, kiola iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka a pau i kona kookoo iho, i lilo lakou i mau nahesa: aka, o ke kookoo o Aarona, moni iho la ia i ko lakou mau kookoo.
13 But Pharaoh had a hard, stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't listen to them, as the Lord had predicted.
A hoopaakikiia mai la ka naau o Parao, i hoolohe ole ai oia ia laua, e like me ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai.
14 The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh has a stubborn attitude—he's refusing to let the people go.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Ua hoopaakikiia ko Parao naau, i ole ai ia e hookuu mai i ka poe kanaka.
15 So tomorrow morning go to Pharaoh as he walks down to the river. Wait to meet him on the bank of the Nile. Take with you the walking stick that turned into a snake.
A kakahiaka ae, e hele oe io Parao la, aia e hele ana no ia i ka wai; e ku oe ma ke kapa o ka muliwai e halawai me ia: a e lawe oe ma kou lima i ke kookoo i lilo ai i nahesa.
16 Tell him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you, ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me in the desert. But you have not listened up until now.
A e olelo aku oe ia ia, Ua hoouna mai nei ke Akua o ka poe Hebera ia'u ion nei, ua i mai, E hookuu mai oe i ko'u poe kanaka, i hookauwa mai lakou na'u ma ka waonahele: aia hoi, aole oe i manao e hoolohe mamua.
17 This is what the Lord is now telling you: This is how you will know that I am the Lord.’” “Watch! Using the walking stick I'm holding, I'm going to hit the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Ma keia mea e ike auanei oe, owau no Iehova: aia hoi, e hahau no wau i keia kookoo ma kuu lima, maluna o ka wai maloko o ka muliwai, a e lilo ia i koko.
18 The fish in the Nile will die, the river will smell, and the Egyptians won't be able to drink any of its water.”
A e make no ka ia maloko o ka muliwai, a e hoopailua ko Aigupita ke inu i ka wai o ka muliwai.
19 The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick in your hand and hold it out over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers and canals and ponds and pools, so that they will turn to blood. There will be blood through all of Egypt, even in containers made of wood and stone.’”
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E olelo aku oe ia Aarona, E lalau oe i kou kookoo, a e o aku kou lima maluna o na wai o Aigupita, ma na kahawai, a ma na muliwai, a ma na loko, a ma na huinawai a pau o lakou, i lilo ai lakou i koko: i hiki mai ke koko ma na aina a pau o Aigupita nei, maloko o ka laau, a maloko o ka pohaku.
20 Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered. While Pharaoh and all his officials watched, Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the water of the Nile. Immediately the whole river turned to blood!
A hana iho la o Mose laua o Aarona e like me ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai. Hapai ae la ia i ke kookoo a hahau iho la i ka wai maloko o ka muliwai, imua i ke alo o Parao, a imua i ke alo o kana poe kauwa: a lilo ae la ka wai a pau o ka muliwai i koko.
21 The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so awful that the Egyptians could not drink its water. There was blood through all of Egypt!
A make iho la ka ia maloko o ka muliwai; pilau mai la ka muliwai; aole i hiki i ko Aigupita ke inu i ka wai o ua muliwai la: a he koko no ma ka aina o Aigupita a pau.
22 But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. Pharaoh maintained his stubborn attitude and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
Hana iho la no pela na magoi o Aigupita i ko lakou mea e kilokilo ai; a ua hoopaakikiia ka naau o Parao, aole hoi ia i hoolohe mai ia laua, e like no me ka mea a Iehova i olelo mai ai.
23 Pharaoh went back to his palace and didn't pay any attention to what had happened.
Huli ae la o Parao, a hoi aku la i kona hale; aole hoi ia i kau aku i kona manao ma ia mea.
24 All the Egyptians dug alongside the Nile because they couldn't drink its water.
Kohi iho la ko Aigupita a pau i na wahi e kokoke ana i ka muliwai, i loaa'i ka wai e inu: no ka mea, aole i hiki ia lakou ke inu i ka wai o ka muliwai.
25 Seven days went by after the Lord hit the Nile.
A ua hala ae la na la ehiku mai ka wa mai o ko Iehova hahau ana i ka muliwai.
