Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, Yhwh hath not appeared unto 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 Yhwh said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
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 Yhwh said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod 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 Yhwh 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 Yhwh said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, 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 thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other 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 latter 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 these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which 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 unto Yhwh, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but 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 Yhwh said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I Yhwh?
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 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and 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, O my 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 And the anger of Yhwh 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 cometh forth 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 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 be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of 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 rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do 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 unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be 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 Yhwh said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which 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 upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod 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 Yhwh said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but 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 unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Yhwh, Israel is my son, even 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 unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even 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 by the way in the inn, that Yhwh met him, and sought to kill 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 sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband 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 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, 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 Yhwh said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount 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 Yhwh who had sent him, and all the signs which 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 together 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 spake all the words which Yhwh had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight 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 Yhwh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon 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.
