< Exodus 3 >

1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the farthest end of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, unto Horeb.
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 appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
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 turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.'
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 that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said: '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: 'Draw not nigh hither; put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.'
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 Moreover He said: 'I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon 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 the LORD said: 'I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their pains;
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 am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto 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 And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto Me; moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress 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 now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth 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 unto God: 'Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth 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: 'Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be the token unto thee, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon 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 unto God: 'Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them: The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me: What is His name? what shall I say unto 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 unto Moses: 'I AM THAT I AM'; and He said: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto 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 said moreover unto Moses: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this is My name for ever, and this is My memorial unto 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 gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying: I have surely remembered you, and seen that which 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 bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto 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 shall hearken to thy voice. And thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him: The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us. And now let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice 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 know that the king of Egypt will not give you leave to go, except by a mighty hand.
Ua ike no nae au, aole e hookuu mai ke alii o Aigupita ia oukou, aole no ma ka lima ikaika.
20 And I will put forth My hand, and smite Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in the midst thereof. 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 favour in the sight of the Egyptians. And it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty;
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 but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment; and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil 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.
