Exodus 4
1 Then responded Moses, and said, And lo! they will not believe me, neither hearken to my voice, —for they will say, Yahweh, 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 Yahweh said unto him—What is this in thy hand? And he said—A staff.
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Heaha kela mea ma kou lima? I aku la ia, He kookoo.
3 Then said he—Cast it to the earth. And he cast it to the earth, and it became a serpent, —and Moses fled from the face thereof.
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 Yahweh said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by its tail: So he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a staff 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 Yahweh, God of their fathers, —God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and 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 Then said Yahweh unto him, yet again—Bring, I pray thee, thy hand, into thy bosom. So he brought his hand, into his bosom, —and then took it out, and lo! his hand, was leprous, —like 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 back thy hand into thy bosom: So he put back his hand into his bosom, —and then took it out of his bosom, and lo it had come again like his own 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 thus shall it come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, then will they believe the voice of the next 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 even these two signs nor hearken to thy voice, then shalt thou take of the water of the river, and pour it out on the dry land, —so shall the water which thou hast taken from the river, become, yea it shall become, blood, on 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 Yahweh—Pardon, O My Lord! not a man of words, am I, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant, —for heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue, I am.
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 Then Yahweh said unto him—Who appointed a mouth for man, or who appointeth him to be dumb, or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh?
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, so will I direct thee, what thou shalt speak.
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—Pardon, 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 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Moses, and he said—Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he, can speak. Moreover also lo! he himself is coming forth to meet thee, as surely as he seeth thee, so surely will he rejoice 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 Then shalt thou speak unto him, and shalt put the words in his mouth, —and, I, will be with thy mouth and with his mouth, so will I direct 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 speak for thee unto the people, —so shall it come to pass that he shall become thy mouth, and thou shalt become to him as 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 this staff, take thou in thy hand, —wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
E lawe pu aku oe i keia kookoo maloko o kou lima, i mea e hana aku ai i na hoailona.
18 So Moses went and returned unto Jethro his father-in-law and said to him—Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren who are in Egypt, that I may see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses: Go and prosper.
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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt, —for all the men are dead who were seeking 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 So Moses took his wife and his sons, and caused them to ride upon the ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt, —and Moses took the staff 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 Yahweh said unto Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see as touching all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, that thou do them before Pharaoh—but, I, will let his heart wax bold, and he will not suffer the people to 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 Then shalt thou say unto Pharaoh, Thus, saith Yahweh—My son—my firstborn, is Israel;
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 Therefore I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me, But if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I, am going to slay, thy son, 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, on the way, in the resting-place for the night, that Yahweh fell upon 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 So Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it down at his feet, —and said—Surely, a bridegroom by rites of blood, 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, it was that she said, A bridegroom by rites of blood—with regard to the rites of circumcision.
Hookuu iho la oia ia ia. Alaila olelo ae la ia, He kane koko oe no ke okipoepoe ana.
27 And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Go thy way to meet Moses, towards the desert. So he went his way, and fell in with him in the mountain 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 Yahweh wherewith he had sent him, —and all the signs wherewith he had charged 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 So Moses and Aaron went their way, —and gathered together all the elders of the sons 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 Yahweh had spoken unto Moses, —and did the signs before the eyes 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 Yahweh had concerned himself for the sons of Israel, and that he had looked upon their humiliation, then bent they their heads and bowed themselves down.
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.
