< Exodus 3 >

1 Now, Moses, was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law priest of Midian, —so he led forth the flock behind the desert, and came in unto the mountain of God to 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 Then appeared the messenger of Yahweh unto him, in a flame of fire from the midst of the thorn-bush, —so he looked and lo! the thorn-bush burning with fire and yet the thorn-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, Let me turn aside, pray, and see this great sight, —why the thorn-bush, doth not burn up.
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 Yahweh saw, that he turned aside to see, —so God called unto him out of the midst of the thorn-bush, and said—Moses! Moses! And he said—Behold me!
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—Do not draw nigh hither, —put off thy sandals from thy feet, for, the place whereon thou art standing 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 And he said—I, am the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and 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 Then said Yahweh, I have, seen, the humiliation of my people, who are in Egypt, —and their outcry, have I heard, by reason of their task-masters, 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 therefore have I come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to take them up out of that land, into a land good and large, into a land flowing with milk and honey, —into 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 Now, therefore, lo! the outcry of the sons of Israel, hath come in unto me, —moreover also, I have seen the oppression, wherewith the Egyptians are oppressing 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 Now, therefore, come thou! that I may send thee unto Pharaoh, —and bring thou forth my people—the sons 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 sons 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—I will be with thee, and, this, to thee, [shall be] the sign, that, I have sent thee, —When thou bringest forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall do service unto 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—Lo! as surely as, I, go in unto the sons of Israel, and say unto them, The God of your fathers, hath sent me unto you, So surely will they say unto 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 Will Become whatsoever I please, And he said—Thus, shalt thou say to the sons of Israel, I Will Become 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 yet further unto Moses—Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, Yahweh God of your fathers. God of Abraham God of Isaac and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This, is my name to times age-abiding, And, this, my memorial to generation after generation.
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 thou shalt gather together the elders of Israel and shalt say unto them-Yahweh God of your fathers, hath appeared unto me, the God of Abraham Isaac, and Jacob saying, —I am, concerned, for you, and for what 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 therefore do I say—I will bring you up out of the humiliation of Egypt, into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, —into 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 So will they hearken to thy voice, —and thou shalt go in—thou, and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt and ye shall say unto him—Yahweh, God of the Hebrews, hath fallen in with us, Now, therefore let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the desert, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, 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 But, I, know, that the king of Egypt will not suffer you to go, —not even by a firm hand.
Ua ike no nae au, aole e hookuu mai ke alii o Aigupita ia oukou, aole no ma ka lima ikaika.
20 So then 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 send you forth.
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 Thus will I give favour to this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, —so shall it come to pass that when ye do 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 mantles, —and ye shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters, so shall ye 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.
