Exodus 4
1 Then Moses answered, and said, But lo, they will not beleeue me, nor hearken vnto my voyce: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared vnto thee.
A Ka whakahoki a Mohi, ka mea, Na, e kore ratou e whakapono ki ahau, e kore hoki e whakarongo ki toku reo; e mea hoki ratou, Kahore a Ihowa i puta mai ki a koe.
2 And the Lord said vnto him, What is that in thine hande? And he answered, A rod.
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, He aha tena i tou ringa? A ka mea ia, He tokotoko.
3 Then said he, Cast it on the ground. So he cast it on the grounde, and it was turned into a serpent: and Moses fled from it.
Na ka mea ia, Maka atu ki te whenua. Na maka ana e ia ki te whenua, na, he nakahi! ko te tino rerenga o Mohi i tona aroaro.
4 Againe the Lord saide vnto Moses, Put foorth thine hand, and take it by the tayle. Then he put foorth his hande and caught it, and it was turned into a rod in his hand.
Ka mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Totoro atu tou ringa, hopukia i te hiku: ko te toronga atu o tona ringaringa, hopukina iho, na, kua tokotoko ano ki tona ringa.
5 Do this that they may beleeue, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath appeared vnto thee.
Kia whakapono ai ratou kua puta ki a koe a Ihowa, te Atua o o ratou matua, te Atua o Aperahama, te Atua o Ihaka, te Atua o Hakopa.
6 And the Lord saide furthermore vnto him, Thrust nowe thine hand into thy bosome. And he thrust his hand into his bosome, and when he tooke it out againe, behold, his hand was leprous as snowe.
I mea ano a Ihowa ki a ia, Tena, kuhua tou ringa ki tou uma: a kuhua ana e ia tona ringa ki tona uma; te unuhanga ano, na, kua repera tona ringa, kua rite ki te hukarere.
7 Moreouer he said, Put thine hand into thy bosome againe. So he put his hande into his bosome againe, and pluckt it out of his bosome, and behold, it was turned againe as his other flesh.
I mea ano ia, Whakahokia ano tou ringa ki tou uma: a whakahokia ana ano e ia tona ringa ki tona uma; a, no te unuhanga i tona uma, na, kua hoki, kua rite ki tona kiri ano.
8 So shall it be, if they wil not beleeue thee, neither obey the voyce of ye first signe, yet shall they beleeue for the voyce of the seconde signe.
A, ki te kore ratou e whakapono ki a koe, ki te kore e whakarongo ki te reo o te tohu tuatahi, na, ka whakapono ki te reo o to muri tohu.
9 But if they will not yet beleeue these two signes, neither obey vnto thy voyce, then shalt thou take of the water of the riuer, and powre it vpon the drie lande: so the water which thou shalt take out of the riuer, shalbe turned to blood vpon the drie land.
A, ki te kore ano ratou e whakapono ki enei tohu e rua, ki te kore e whakarongo ki tou reo, utuhia e koe ki te wai o te awa, ka riringi ki te oneone maroke; a, ko te wai e utuhia e koe i te awa, hei toto ki runga ki te whenua maroke.
10 But Moses said vnto the Lord, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither at any time haue bene, nor yet since thou hast spoken vnto thy seruant: but I am slowe of speach and slowe of tongue.
Na ka ki a Mohi ki a Ihowa, E toku Ariki, ehara ahau i te pukorero, i mua, i muri ranei i tau korerotanga ki tau pononga; he reo ngoikore hoki toku he arero paremo.
11 Then the Lord said vnto him, Who hath giuen the mouth to man? or who hath made the domme, or the deafe, or him that seeth, or the blinde? haue not I the Lord?
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Na wai i hunga te mangai o te tangata? Na wai hoki i mea kia wahangu, kia turi, kia titiro ranei, kia matapo ranei? Ehara koia i ahau, i a Ihowa?
12 Therefore goe nowe, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
Na, haere, a hei tou waha ahau, ako ai i a koe ki tau e korero ai.
13 But he saide, Oh my Lord, sende, I pray thee, by the hande of him, whome thou shouldest sende.
Na ka mea ia, E toku Ariki, mau ra e nga tau e unga ai.
14 Then the Lord was verie angrie with Moses, and said, Doe not I know Aaron thy brother the Leuite, that he himselfe shall speake? for loe, he commeth also foorth to meete thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
Na ka mura te riri a Ihowa ki a Mohi; ka mea ia, Ehara ianei a Arona Riwaiti i te tuakana nou? E matau ana ahau he pukorero ia. Ina hoki, na, e haere mai nei ia ki te whakatau i a koe; a, ka kite i a koe, ka koa tona ngakau.
15 Therefore thou shalt speake vnto him, and put the wordes in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye ought to doe.
A mau e korero ki a ia, e hoatu nga kupu ki tona waha: a hei tou mangai ahau, hei tona mangai hoki, whakaako ai i a korua ki ta korua e mea ai.
16 And he shall be thy spokesman vnto the people: and he shall be, euen he shall be as thy mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God.
A ko ia hei kaikorero mau ki te iwi; a, ko ia, ina, ka ai ia hei mangai mou, ko koe hoki hei atua ki a ia.
17 Moreouer thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do miracles.
Maua atu ano tenei tokotoko i tou ringa, e mea ai koe i nga tohu.
18 Therefore Moses went and returned to Iethro his father in lawe, and said vnto him, I pray thee, let me goe, and returne to my brethren, which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet aliue. Then Iethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Na haere ana a Mohi, hoki ana ki a Ietoro, ki tona hungawai, a ka mea ki a ia, Tukua ahau kia haere, kia hoki ki oku tuakana i Ihipa, kia kite kei te ora ano ranei ratou. A ka mea a Ietoro ki a Mohi, Haere i runga i te pai.
19 (For the Lord had said vnto Moses in Midian, Goe, returne to Egypt: for they are all dead which went about to kill thee)
I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i Miriana, Haere, e hoki ki Ihipa: kua mate katoa hoki nga tangata i whai i a koe kia patua.
20 Then Moses tooke his wife, and his sonnes, and put them on an asse, and returned towarde the lande of Egypt, and Moses tooke the rod of God in his hand.
Na ka mau a Mohi ki tana wahine ratou ko ana tama, a whakanohoia ana ki runga ki te kaihe, a hoki ana ki te whenua o Ihipa: i tango ano a Mohi i te tokotoko a te Atua ki tona ringa.
21 And the Lord saide vnto Moses, When thou art entred and come into Egypt againe, see that thou doe all the wonders before Pharaoh, which I haue put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, and he shall not let the people goe.
I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, E haere koe, e hoki ki Ihipa, kia mahara kia meatia ki te aroaro o Parao ena merekara katoa kua hoatu na e ahau ki tou ringa: otiia maku e whakapakeke tona ngakau, kia kore ai ia e tuku i te iwi.
22 Then thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my sonne, euen my first borne.
A ka mea koe ki a Parao, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko Iharaira taku tama, taku matamua:
23 Wherefore I say to thee, Let my sonne go, that he may serue me: if thou refuse to let him goe, beholde, I will slay thy sonne, euen thy first borne.
Ko taku kupu ano tenei ki a koe, Tukua taku tama kia mahi ki ahau: a ki te kore koe e rongo ki te tuku i a ia, na, ka patua e ahau tau tama, tau matamua.
24 And as he was by the waye in the ynne, the Lord met him, and would haue killed him.
A i a ratou i te whare tira i te ara, na pono pu a Ihowa ki a ia, a ka whai i a ia kia whakamatea.
25 Then Zipporah tooke a sharpe knife, and cut away the foreskinne of her sonne, and cast it at his feete, and said, Thou art indeede a bloody husband vnto me.
A ka tango a Hipora i tetahi kohatu koi, a kotia iho te kiri matamata o tana tama, na whakapakia ana e ia ki ona waewae, ka mea, He tane toto koe ki ahau.
26 So he departed from him. Then she saide, O bloodie husband (because of the circumcision)
Heoi ka tuku atu ia i a ia: i reira ano ka mea te wahine, He tane toto koe; mo te kotinga hoki.
27 Then the Lord saide vnto Aaron, Goe meete Moses in the wildernesse. And he went and mette him in the Mount of God, and kissed him.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Arona, Haere ki te koraha, ki te whakatau i a Mohi, A haere ana ia, a ka tutaki ki a ia ki te maunga o te Atua, ka kihi i a ia.
28 Then Moses tolde Aaron all the wordes of the Lord, who had sent him, and all the signes wherewith he had charged him.
A korerotia ana e Mohi ki a Arona nga kupu katoa a Ihowa i unga nei i a ia, me nga tohu katoa i ako ai ia ki a ia.
29 So went Moses and Aaron, and gathered all the Elders of the children of Israel.
Na haere ana a Mohi raua ko Arona, a whakaminea ana nga kaumatua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira:
30 And Aaron told all the wordes, which the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, and he did the miracles in the sight of the people,
Na korerotia ana e Arona nga kupu katoa i korero ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi, mahia ana hoki e ia nga tohu i te tirohanga a te iwi.
31 And the people beleeued, and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and had looked vpon their tribulation, they bowed downe, and worshipped.
A whakapono tonu te iwi: a, ka rongo ratou kua tae mai a Ihowa ki nga tama a Iharaira, kua titiro ki to ratou whakawhiunga, ka tuohu ratou, ka koropiko.
