< Exodus 9 >

1 Then YHWH said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, 'This is what YHWH, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Pea folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu kia Felo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ‘Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu,’ koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au.”
2 For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
He kapau te ke taʻofi hono tukuange, mo ke puke pe ʻakinautolu,
3 look, the hand of YHWH is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
Vakai, ko e nima ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻi hoʻo ngaahi manu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, ki he fanga hoosi, pea ki he fanga asi, ki he fanga kāmeli, ki he fanga pulu, pea ki he fanga sipi: ʻe ai ʻae mahaki lahi mo mamahi.
4 YHWH will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that belongs to the children of Israel."'"
Pea ʻe vaheʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi manu ʻa ʻIsileli mei he ngaahi manu ʻa ʻIsipite: pea ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe mate ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
5 God appointed a set time, saying, "Tomorrow YHWH shall do this thing in the land."
Pea naʻe kotofa ʻe Sihova hono feituʻulaʻā, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ni ʻapongipongi ʻi he fonua.”
6 YHWH did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ko ia ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea naʻe mate ai ʻae ngaahi manu ʻa ʻIsipite; ka ko e ngaahi manu ʻae kakai ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻikai mate ai ha taha.
7 Pharaoh sent, and, look, there was not so much as one of the livestock of Israel dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go.
Pea fekau ʻe Felo, pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai mate ha manu ʻe taha ʻi he kakai ʻIsileli. Pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻae kakai ke ʻalu.
8 YHWH said to Moses and to Aaron, "Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, pea mo ʻElone, “Mo toʻo ʻae faluku ʻoe efuefu mei he ngotoʻumu, pea tuku ke laku hake ia ʻe Mōsese ki langi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo:
9 It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with boils on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt."
Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e efu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e hangatāmaki mo e vakafoha, ki he tangata mo e manu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.”
10 They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became a boil breaking forth with boils on man and on animal.
Pea naʻa na toʻo mai ʻae efuefu ʻoe ngotoʻumu, ʻo na tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo: pea laku hake ia ʻe Mōsese ki langi; pea naʻe hoko ia ko e hangatāmaki, pea naʻe tupu ʻae vakafoha ki he tangata mo e manu.
11 The magicians couldn't stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.
Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ʻae kau fie mana ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese ko e meʻa ʻi he hangatāmaki; he naʻe ʻi he kau fie mana ʻae hangatāmaki, pea naʻe ʻi he kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē.
12 YHWH hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as YHWH had spoken to Moses.
Pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga ia kiate kinaua; ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
13 YHWH said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, 'This is what YHWH, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ‘Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au.’
14 For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
He te u fekau eni ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tautea kotoa pē ki ho loto, pea ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo ho kakai; koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ai ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi māmani ʻo hangē ko au.
15 For now I would have put forth my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;
He ko ʻeni, teu mafao atu hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke u taaʻi koe mo ho kakai ʻaki ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha; pea ʻe tuʻusi koe mei māmani.
16 but indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth;
Pea ko e moʻoni kuo u fokotuʻu koe, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ʻiate koe ʻeku mālohi; pea ke fakaongo atu ai hoku huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
17 as you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won't let them go.
‌ʻOku ke kei fakahikihiki koe ki hoku kakai, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fie tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu?
18 Look, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
Vakai, ko e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi, Te u pule ke tō ai ʻae ʻuha maka fakamamahi lahi, naʻe ʻikai hano tatau ʻi ʻIsipite, talu hono fokotuʻu ʻo ia ʻo aʻu ki heni.
19 Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. Every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn't brought home, the hail shall come down on them, and they shall die."'"
Ko ia ke ke fekau ni, ke tānaki hoʻo fanga manu mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi he ngoue; he ko e tangata kotoa pē mo e manu kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe ʻilo ʻi he ngoue, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻomi ia ki ʻapi, ʻe tō hifo ʻae ʻuha maka ki ai, pea te nau mate.”
20 Those who feared the word of YHWH among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
Pea ʻilonga ia naʻe manavahē ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Felo, naʻa ne pule ke puna ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e fanga manu ki he ngaahi fale:
21 Whoever did not regard the word of YHWH left his servants and his livestock in the field.
Pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki mo e fanga manu ʻi he ngoue.
22 YHWH said to Moses, "Stretch forth your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt."
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Mafao atu ho nima ki langi: koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻae ʻuha maka ki he tangata mo e manu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ki he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue, ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.”
23 Moses stretched forth his staff toward the heavens, and YHWH sent thunder, and hail, and fire fell to the earth. YHWH rained hail on the land of Egypt.
Pea mafao atu hono tokotoko e Mōsese ki langi: pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae mana mo e ʻuha maka, pea naʻe malele ʻae afi ʻi he funga fonua; pea naʻe fakaʻuha maka ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
24 So there was very severe hail, and fire mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻuha maka naʻe fefiofi mo e afi, ko e meʻa mamahi ʻaupito, naʻe ʻikai hano tatau ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite talu hono hoko ko e puleʻanga.
25 The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every plant of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
Pea naʻe teʻia ʻe he ʻuha maka ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu: pea teʻia ʻe he ʻuha maka ʻae ʻakau siʻi kotoa pē, pea ne fesiʻi ʻae ʻakau lahi kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue.
26 Only in the land of Gesen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
Ka ko e fonua ko Koseni, ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻuha maka.
27 Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinned this time. YHWH is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Felo ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Kuo u fai angahala ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ni: ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova, ka ko au mo hoku kakai ʻoku angahala.
28 Pray to YHWH; for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail and fire. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."
Mo hū kia Sihova (he kuo lahi, ) ke ʻoua naʻa kei fai ʻae mana lahi mo e ʻuha maka; pea te u tuku ʻakimoutolu ke ʻalu, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou tatali.”
29 Moses said to him, "As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to YHWH. The thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is YHWH's.
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate ia, “ʻI heʻeku hoko leva ki he tuʻa kolo, teu mafao atu hoku nima kia Sihova; pea ʻe tuku leva ʻae mana, pea ʻe ʻikai kei tō ʻae ʻuha maka: koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ai ʻoku ʻo Sihova ʻa māmani.
30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear YHWH God."
Ka ko koe mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe ʻikai te mou manavahē kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
31 The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
Pea naʻe teʻia ʻae falakesi mo e paʻale he naʻe fua ʻae paʻale, pea kamata fua mo e falakesi.
32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are late.
Ka ko e uite mo e lai naʻe ʻikai teʻia, he naʻe teʻeki ai tupu hake.
33 Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to YHWH; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured on the land.
Pea ʻalu ʻa Mōsese meia Felo ki he tuaʻā kolo, ʻo ne mafao atu hono nima kia Sihova: pea naʻe tuku ai ʻae mana mo e ʻuha maka, pea naʻe ʻikai kei tō ʻae ʻuha ki he kelekele.
34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Felo kuo matuʻu ʻae ʻuha mo e ʻuha maka, mo e mana, naʻe toe fai angahala ia, ʻo fakafefeka hono loto, ʻaia mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
35 The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go, just as YHWH had spoken through Moses.
Pea naʻe fefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu: ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
