< Exodus 8 >
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, "This is what the LORD says, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere ki a Parao, mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tukua taku iwi kia haere, kia mahi ratou ki ahau.
2 If you refuse to let them go, look, I will plague all your borders with frogs:
A ki te kore koe e rongo ki te tuku i a ratou, na, ka patua e ahau ou rohe katoa ki te poroka.
3 and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:
A ka ngahuehue ake te poroka i te awa, ka tae ratou ki tou whare, ki tou whare moenga, ki runga hoki ki tou moenga, ki roto hoki ki te whare o ou tangata, ki runga hoki ki tou iwi, ki roto ki au oumu, ki roto hoki ki au pokepokenga paraoa:
4 and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.'"
A e haere ake te poroka ki runga ki a koe, ki runga ki tou iwi, ki runga hoki ki ou tangata katoa.
5 The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, 'Stretch forth your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Mea atu ki a Arona, Totoro tou ringa, me tau tokotoko, ki nga wai e rere ana, ki nga awa, ki nga roto, kia haere ake ai nga poroka ki te whenua o Ihipa.
6 Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
A ka totoro atu te ringa o Arona ki nga wai o Ihipa; na kua puta ake te poroka, a kapi ana te whenua o Ihipa.
7 The magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
A i peratia ano e nga tohunga ki a ratou karakia maori, a whakaputaina ake ana e ratou te poroka ki te whenua o Ihipa.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Pray to the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD."
Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea, Inoi atu ki a Ihowa, kia tangohia e ia nga poroka i ahau, i toku iwi hoki; a ka tuku ahau i te iwi ki te mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa.
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only."
Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Parao, Kia whakanuia ake koe i ahau; ahea inoi ai ahau mou, mo ou tangata, mo tou iwi hoki, kia whakakahoretia atu nga poroka i a koe, i ou whare ano hoki, kia toe ki te awa anake?
10 He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like the LORD our God.
A ka mea ia, Hei apopo. Na ka mea ia, Kia rite ki tau na, kia mohio ai koe kahore tetahi e rite ana ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua.
11 The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."
A ka mawehe atu i a koe nga poroka, i ou whare hoki, i ou tangata, i tou iwi ano hoki; a e toe ki te awa anake.
12 Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
Na ka haere atu a Mohi raua ko Arona i a Parao: a ka karanga a Mohi ki a Ihowa, mo nga poroka i whakamuia ake e ia ki a Parao.
13 The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
A peratia ana e Ihowa me ta Mohi i mea ai; na ka mate atu nga poroka i nga whare, i nga kainga, i nga mara ano hoki.
14 They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
A apoapohia ana e ratou, puranga atu, puranga atu: a, piro ana te whenua.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
Otira i te kitenga o Parao ka whai taanga manawa, ka whakapakeke ano i tona ngakau, kahore hoki i rongo ki a raua; ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai.
16 The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'"
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Mea atu ki a Arona, Totoro tau tokotoko, patua te puehu o te whenua, kia kutu ai ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
17 They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
A pera ana raua; ko te toronga atu o te ringa o Arona me tana tokotoko, patua ana te puehu o te whenua, a ka meinga hei kutu ki te tangata, ki te kararehe; he kutu kau te puehu katoa o te oneone, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
18 The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal.
A pera ana ano nga tohunga ki a ratou mahi maori, kia puta ai te kutu; kihai ia i taea e ratou; a muia ana te tangata me te kararehe e te kutu.
19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as the LORD had spoken.
Na ka mea nga tohunga ki a Parao, Na te matikara o te Atua tenei: a ka whakapakeketia te ngakau o Parao, kihai hoki ia i rongo ki a raua: ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai.
20 The LORD said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; look, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what the LORD says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Maranga wawe i te ata, e tu ki te aroaro o Parao; na, e haere ana ia ki te wai; mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tukua taku iwi ki te mahi ki ahau.
21 Else, if you will not let my people go, look, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
A ki te kahore koe e tuku i taku iwi, na, ka tukua atu e ahau nga pokai namu ki a koe, ki ou tangata, ki tou iwi, ki ou whare; e ki hoki nga whare o nga Ihipiana i nga pokai namu, me te whenua e noho nei ratou.
22 I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
A ka wehea atu e ahau i taua ra te whenua o Kohena, e noho nei taku iwi, kei whai pokai namu a reira; kia mohio ai koe ko Ihowa ahau i waenganui o te whenua.
23 I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be."'"
Ka whakatakoto arai ano ahau ki waenganui o taku iwi, o tou iwi: ko apopo tenei tohu meatia ai.
24 The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
A pera ana a Ihowa; na kua tae mai nga pokai namu, tona nanakia ra, ki te whare o Parao, ki nga whare o ana tangata, ki te whenua katoa ano hoki o Ihipa; a ngaro ana te whenua i te huihuinga namu.
25 Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land."
Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea, Haere, meatia he patunga tapu ki to koutou Atua, ki te whenua nei.
26 Moses said, "It isn't appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Look, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won't they stone us?
Na ka mea a Mohi, E kore e pai kia pena; ka patua hoki e matou ma Ihowa, ma to matou Atua, ta nga Ihipiana e morikarika ai: na, ki te patua e matou ki to ratou aroaro nga mea e morikarika ai nga Ihipiana, e kore ranei ratou e aki i a matou ki te kohatu?
27 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us."
Ka haere matou ki te koraha, kia toru nga ra ki te ara, ka mea patunga tapu ai ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua, ka pera ai me tana e ako ai ki a matou.
28 Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me."
Na ka mea a Parao, Ka tukua koutou ki te mea patunga tapu ma Ihowa, ma to koutou Atua, ki te koraha; otiia aua e haere rawa ki tawhiti: inoi korua moku.
29 Moses said, "Look, I go out from you, and I will pray to God that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."
A ka mea a Mohi, Nana, ka mawehe atu ahau i a koe, ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa kia turere atu nga pokai namu i a Parao, i ona tangata, i tona iwi apopo; otiia kaua a Parao e tinihanga ano, a kore ake e tuku i te iwi ki te mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa.
30 Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.
Na, ka mawehe a Mohi i a Parao, a ka inoi ki a Ihowa.
31 The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.
A peratia ana e Ihowa me ta Mohi i mea ai; i mea ia i nga pokai namu kia rere atu i a Parao, i ona tangata, i tona iwi: kihai i toe tetahi.
32 Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
Na ka whakapakeke ano a Parao i tona ngakau i taua taima hoki, a kihai i tuku i te iwi.
