< Exodus 8 >

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back to the king and tell him, ‘Yahweh says that you must let my people go, in order that they can worship me [in the desert].
ALAILA, i mai la o Iehova ia Mose, O hele oe io Parao la, a e i aku ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E hookuu mai oe i ko'u poe Kanaka, i hookauwa mai lakou na'u.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will punish you by sending frogs to cover your country.
A ina paha e hookuu ole mai oe, aia hoi, e hoino no wau i kou mau mokuna a pau i na rana;
3 [Not only] will the Nile [River] be full of frogs, [but] the frogs will come up [out of the river] into your palace. They will come into your bedroom and onto your bed. They will be in the houses of your officials and all [the rest of] your people. They will even get into your ovens and your pans for mixing the materials for baking bread.
A e hoopuka nui mai ka muliwai i na rana, a e hele mai lakou iloko o kou hale, a me kou keena moe, a maluna o kou hikiee, a iloko o ka hale o kau poe kauwa, a maluna o kou poe kanaka, a maloko o kou mau imu, a maloko hoi o kou mau pa wili ai.
4 The frogs will jump up on you and your officials and [all the rest of] your people.’”
A e hele mai auanei na rana maluna ou, a maluna o kou poe kanaka, a maluna o kau poe kauwa a pau.
5 Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Say this to Aaron: ‘Hold your stick in your hand and stretch it out [as though you were stretching it] over the river, the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up [from all this water and] cover the land of Egypt.’”
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E i aku oe ia Aarona, E o aku kou lima me kou kookoo maluna o na kahawai, a me na muliwai, a me na loko, i hiki mai na rana maluna o ka aina o Aigupita.
6 [After Moses/I told that to] Aaron, he stretched out his hand [as though he were stretching it] over all the water in Egypt. And the frogs came up [from the water and] covered Egypt.
O aku la no ko Aarona lima maluna o ka wai o Aigupita, a hiki mai la na rana, a hoouhi paapu ae la i ka aina o Aigupita.
7 But the men who performed magic did the same thing, and they caused [more] frogs to come up [from the water onto the land].
Hana iho la no pela na magoi i ka lakou mea e kilokilo ai, i hoohiki mai ai i na rana ma ka aina o Aigupita.
8 Then the king summoned Moses/me and said, “Ask Yahweh to take away these frogs from me and my people. After that happens, I will allow your people to go, in order that they can offer sacrifices to Yahweh.”
Alaila, hea mai la o Parao ia Mose a me Aarona, i mai la, E pule aku olua ia Iehova, i lawe aku ia i na rana mai o'u aku nei, a mai ko'u poe kanaka aku, a e hookuu no wau i na kanaka, i kaumaha ai lakou na Iehova.
9 Moses/I said to the king, “I will be glad to pray for you and for your officials and for [the rest of] your people. [I will ask Yahweh] to get rid of the frogs from all your houses. The only frogs left will be [those] in the Nile [River]. Just tell me when I should pray.”
I aku la o Mose ia Parao, E kauoha pono mai oe ia'u, i ka manawa hea ka'u e pule aku ai nou, a no kau poe kauwa hoi, a no kou poe kanaka, i laweia aku na rana mai ou aku la, a mai kou kauhale aku, a koe ma ka muliwai wale no?
10 He replied, “Tomorrow.” So Moses/I said, “[I will do] what you say, and then you will know that Yahweh God, the one we [worship, is the only true god], and that there is no other god like him.
Olelo mai la kela, Apopo. I aku la ia, E like me kau olelo, pela no auanei ia, i ike pono ai oe, aohe mea e ae e like me Iehova ko makou Akua.
11 The frogs will leave you and your officials and all [the rest of] your people. The only ones left will be in the Nile [River].”
A e haalele mai no na rana ia oe, a me kou hale, a me kau poe kauwa, a me kou poe kanaka, a e koe ma ka muliwai wale no.
12 Aaron and Moses/I left the king. Then Moses/I prayed to Yahweh, [asking him to take away] all the frogs he had [brought to the king’s land].
Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona mai o Parao aku la: uwe aku la o Mose ia Iehova no na rana ana i lawe mai ai maluna o Parao.
13 And Yahweh did just what Moses/I [asked him to do]. As a result, all the frogs in the houses, in their courtyards, and in the fields died.
Hana iho la o Iehova e like me ka Mose olelo ana, a make iho la na rana ma na hale, a ma na pahale a ma na kula.
14 The people gathered together all the dead frogs into big piles, and the land stank [from the smell].
Hoiliili ae la lakou i na rana ma na puu: a pilau iho la ka aina.
15 But when the king saw that [the problem] was ended, he became stubborn [IDM] [again]. And just as Yahweh had predicted, he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/we told him.
A ike iho la o Parao, he maha, hoopaakiki iho la ia i kona naau, aole i hoolohe mai i ka laua; e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell Aaron to strike the ground with his stick. [When he does that], all the fine particles of ground/dust will become gnats, all over the land of Egypt.”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E i aku oe ia Aarona, e o aku oe i kou kookoo, a e hahau i ka lepo o ka aina, i lilo ia i makika ma ka aina a pau o Aigupita.
17 So they/we did that. Aaron struck the ground with his stick, and all over Egypt, the fine particles of ground/dirt became gnats. The gnats covered the people and all [their] animals.
Hana iho la laua pela; o aku la no ko Aarona lima me kona kookoo, hahau iho la i ka lepo o ka aina, a lilo ae la ia i makika ma na kanaka, a ma na holoholona; lilo no na hunalepo a pau o ka aina i makika ma ka aina a pau o Aigupita.
18 The men who worked magic tried to cause gnats to appear, but they were unable to do it. So the gnats [stayed] on the Egyptian people and on their animals.
Hana iho la no pela na magoi, me ko lakou mea kilokilo, i hiki mai ai ka makika, aole nae i hiki ia lakou. He makika no nae maluna o na kanaka, a maluna o na holoholona.
19 The men who worked magic said to the king, “It is God who has done this with his power [MTY]!” But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to us, just as Yahweh had predicted.
Alaila olelo ae la na magoi ia Parao, Eia no ka lima o ke Akua. Ua hoopaakikiia no nae ko Parao naau; aole ia i hoolohe i ka laua, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
20 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. [Go down] to the river and wait for the king. [When he comes to bathe] [MTY], say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says to you: “Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, A kakahiaka nui, e ala ae oe, a e ku imua i ke alo o Parao, aia hoi, e hele mai no ia iwaho i ka wai, a e i aku oe ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E hookuu oe i ko'u poe kanaka, i hookauwa mai lakou na'u.
21 [I warn you that] if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies to you. They will come down on you and on your officials and on [the rest of] your people. The houses of all you Egyptians will be full of flies. They will [even] cover the ground.
Aka hoi, ina aole oe e hookuu mai i ko'u poe kanaka, aia hoi, e hoouna aku no au i na nalonahu maluna ou, a maluna o kau poe kauwa, a maluna o kou poe kanaka, a maloko o kou mau hale; a e piha na hale o ko Aigupita i na nalonahu, a me ka aina hoi kahi a lakou e noho ai.
22 But when that happens, I will treat the Goshen region, where my people live, differently. There will be no swarms of flies there. In that way, you will know that I, Yahweh, am doing these things [here] in this land.
Ia la hoi, e hookaawale auanei au i ka aina o Gosena, i kahi e noho nei ko'u poe kanaka, i hiki ole ai ka nalonahu ilaila; i mea e ike ai oe, owau no Iehova mawaena o ka honua.
23 I will distinguish clearly between [how I act toward] my people and [how I act toward] your people. And this plague is going to happen tomorrow!”’”
A e kaa no au i pale mawaena o ko'u poe kanaka a me kou poe kanaka. Apopo e hiki mai keia mea.
24 [Early the next morning, Moses/I told that to the king, but the king would not pay any attention]. So Yahweh did what he said he would do. He sent great swarms of flies into the palace of the king and into the houses of his officials. The whole country of Egypt was ruined by the flies.
Hana iho la no o Iehova pela: a hiki mai la na nalonahu he nui loa maloko o ka hale o Parao, a me na hale o kana poe kauwa, a ma ka aina a pau o Aigupita: ua oki loa ka aina i na nalonahu.
25 Then the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You Israeli people can go and offer sacrifices to your god, [but you must do it] here in [this] land.”
Hea mai la o Parao ia Mose a me Aarona, i mai la, E hele oukou, a e kaumaha aku i ko oukou Akua maloko o ka aina nei.
26 But Moses/I replied, “It would not be right [for us] to do that, because we will be offering sacrifices that are very offensive to the Egyptian people. If we offer sacrifices that the Egyptian people think are disgusting, they will kill us by throwing stones at us [RHQ]!
I aku la o Mose, Aole pono ke hana pela; no ka mea, e kaumaha auanei makou na Iehova ko makou Akua i ka mea hoopailua a ko Aigupita nei: a ina e kaumaha aku makou i ka mea hoopailua a ko Aigupita nei imua o ko lakou maka, aole anei lakou e hailuku mai ia makou i ka pohaku?
27 No, we need to travel for three days into the desert. There we will offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God we worship, just as he commands (OR, has commanded) us.”
E hele no makou i ekolu la hele iloko o ka waonahele, a e kaumaha aku na Iehova ko makou Akua, e like me kana e kauoha mai ai ia makou.
28 So the king said, “I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, your god, in the desert. But you must not go very far. [Now] pray for me!”
I mai la o Parao, E hookuu aku no wau ia oukou, i kaumaha aku ai oukou na Iehova ko oukou Akua, ma ka waonahele: aka, mai hele aku oukou i kahi mamao. E pule aku olua no'u.
29 Moses/I said, “Listen [to me]! After I leave you, I will pray to Yahweh, [asking] that tomorrow [he will cause] the swarms of flies to leave you and your officials and [the rest of] your people. But do not deceive us again by refusing to let our people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh!”
I aku la o Mose, Aia hoi, ke hele aku nei au mai ou aku nei, a e nonoi aku au ia Iehova e lawe aku ia i na nalonahu mai o Parao aku, a mai kana poe kauwa aku, a mai kona poe kanaka aku; aia apopo. Aka, mai hoopunipuni hou mai o Parao. i ka hookuu ole i na kanaka e kaumaha aku na Iehova.
30 Then Moses/I left the king and prayed to Yahweh.
Hele aku la o Mose mai o Parao aku, a nonoi aku la ia Iehova.
31 And Yahweh did what Moses/I asked, and he got rid of the swarms of flies from [around] the king and his officials and [the rest of] his people. No flies remained.
Hana mai la o Iehova e like me ka olelo a Mose, a lawe aku la ia i na nalonahu mai o Parao aku, a mai kana poe kauwa aku, a mai kona poe kanaka aku; aole hookahi i koe.
32 But the king was stubborn [IDM] this time also, and he did not allow the Israeli people to go.
Hoopaakiki hou iho la o Parao i kona naau ia manawa no hoi, aole i hookuu aku i na kanaka.
