Exodus 10
1 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants. I have done this to show these signs of my power among them.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere ki a Parao; kua whakapakeke hoki ahau i tona ngakau, i te ngakau hoki o ona tangata, kia whakakite ai ahau i enei tohu aku ki tona aroaro;
2 I have also done this so that you may tell your children and grandchildren the things I have done, how I have harshly treated Egypt, and how I have given various signs of my power among them. In this way you will know that I am Yahweh.”
Kia korero ai hoki koe ki nga taringa o tau tama, o te tama hoki a tau tama, i taku i mahi ai ki Ihipa, i aku tohu hoki i meatia e ahau i roto i a ratou; kia mohio ai koutou ko Ihowa ahau.
3 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says this: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go so that they may worship me.
A haere ana a Mohi raua ko Arona ki a Parao, mea ana ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga Hiperu, Kia pehea te roa ou kahore nei e ngohengohe ki toku aroaro? Tukua taku iwi kia haere, kia mahi ki ahau.
4 But if you refuse to let my people go, listen, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your land.
Ko tenei, ka kore koe e rongo ki te tuku i taku iwi, nana, apopo ahau kawe mai ai i te mawhitiwhiti ki tou rohe:
5 They will cover the surface of the ground so that no one will be able to see the earth. They will eat the remains of whatever escaped from the hail. They will also eat every tree that grows for you in the fields.
A e kapi i a ratou te mata o te whenua, e kore ano e ahei te kite i te whenua; a e kai ratou i nga toenga i mahue, i toe ma koutou i te whatu, e kai hoki ratou i nga rakau katoa e tupu ana ma koutou i te mara:
6 They will fill your houses, those of all your servants, and those of all the Egyptians—something neither your father nor your grandfather ever saw, nothing ever seen since the day that they were on the earth to this present day.'” Then Moses left and went out from Pharaoh.
A e ki i a ratou ou whare, me nga whare o ou tangata katoa, me nga whare o nga Ihipiana katoa; he mea kihai nei i kitea e ou matua, e nga matua ranei o ou matua, o te ra iho ano i noho ai ratou ki te whenua a moroki noa nei. A tahuri ana ia, haer e atu ana i a Parao.
7 Pharaoh's servants said to him, “How long will this man be a menace to us? Let the Israelites go so that they may worship Yahweh their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is destroyed?”
A ka mea nga tangata a Parao ki a ia, Kia pehea te roa o tenei tangata ka waiho nei hei rore ki a tatou? tukua nga tangata ki te mahi ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua: kiano koe i mohio noa kua ngaro a Ihipa?
8 Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, who said to them, “Go worship Yahweh your God. But what people will go?”
Na ka whakahokia a Mohi raua ko Arona ki a Parao; a ka mea ia ki a raua, Haere, e mahi ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua: ko wai ma oti e haere?
9 Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and our daughters. We will go with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a festival for Yahweh.”
A ka mea a Mohi, E haere ra matou me a matou taitamariki, me o matou koroheke, me a matou tama, me a matou tamahine, e haere me a matou hipi, me a matou kau; he hakari hoki ta matou ki a Ihowa.
10 Pharaoh said to them, “May Yahweh indeed be with you, if I ever let you go and your little ones go. Look, you have some evil in mind.
Na ka mea ia ki a raua, Kia pena te noho o Ihowa ki a koutou, me ahau ka tuku nei i a koutou me a koutou potiki: ma koutou e titiro; he kino hoki kei mua i a koutou.
11 No! Go, just the men among you, and worship Yahweh, for that is what you want.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Kahore ra hoki: haere e nga tane, e mahi ki a Ihowa; ko ta koutou hoki tena i whai na. A peia ana raua i te aroaro o Parao.
12 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the land of Egypt to the locusts, that they may attack the land of Egypt and eat every plant in it, everything that the hail has left.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Totoro atu tou ringaringa ki te whenua o Ihipa mo te mawhitiwhiti kia puta ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki te kai i nga otaota katoa o te whenua, i nga mea katoa i toe i te whatu.
13 Moses reached out with his staff over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind over the land all that day and night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts.
Na ka toro atu te tokotoko a Mohi ki runga i te whenua o Ihipa, a kua puta he hau i a Ihowa, he marangai, ki te whenua, a pau katoa taua rangi, pau katoa taua po; a huaki ake te ata, na, kua kawea mai nga mawhitiwhiti e te marangai:
14 The locusts went through all the land of Egypt and infested all parts of it. Never before had there been such a swarm of locusts in the land, and nothing like this will come after it.
A puta ake ana te mawhitiwhiti ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, a tau iho ki nga rohe katoa o Ihipa: he nanakia rawa; kahore he mawhitiwhiti o mua atu hei rite mo enei, e kore ano hoki e rite a muri ake nei.
15 They covered the surface of the whole land so that it was darkened. They ate every plant in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Throughout all the land of Egypt, no living green plant remained, nor any tree or plant in the fields.
Ngaro ana hoki i a ratou te mata o te whenua katoa, pouri ana te whenua; a kainga ake e ratou nga otaota katoa o te whenua, me nga hua katoa o nga rakau i toe i te whatu: kihai i mahue tetahi tupu o nga rakau, o nga otaota ranei o te mara, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
16 Then Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God and against you.
Na ka hohoro a Parao te karanga ki a Mohi raua ko Arona ka mea, Kua hara ahau ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, ki a korua hoki.
17 Now then, forgive my sin this time, and pray to Yahweh your God that he will take this death away from me.”
Na, whakarerea toku hara, heoi rawa ano ko to tenei taima, a inoi ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, kia tangohia atu e ia ko tenei mate anake i ahau.
18 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh.
A mawehe ana ia i a Parao, inoi ana ki a Ihowa.
19 Yahweh brought a very strong west wind that picked up the locusts and drove them into the Sea of Reeds; not a single locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
Na whakataka ana e Ihowa he hauauru nui rawa nana i kahaki atu nga mawhitiwhiti, i whiu ki te Moana Whero; kihai i toe tetahi mawhitiwhiti i nga rohe katoa o Ihipa.
20 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go.
Otiia whakapakeke ana a Ihowa i te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i tuku i nga tama a Iharaira.
21 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand toward the sky, so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness that may be felt.”
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Totoro ake tou ringaringa ki te rangi, kia whai pouri ai ki te whenua o Ihipa, he pouri e hakiri mai ana ki te ringa.
22 Moses reached out with his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
Na ka toro atu te ringa o Mohi ki te rangi, a kua pouri kerekere i te whenua katoa o Ihipa, e toru nga ra:
23 No one could see anyone else; no one left his home for three days. However, all the Israelites had light in the place where they lived.
Kahore tetahi i kite i tetahi, kihai ano hoki i whakatika atu tetahi i tona wahi i nga ra e toru: tena ko nga tama a Iharaira, marama ana o ratou na nohoanga.
24 Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go worship Yahweh. Even your families may go with you, but your flocks and herds must remain behind.”
Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Mohi, ka mea, Haere, e mahi ki a Ihowa; otiia me waiho a koutou hipi me a koutou kau: ko a koutou tamariki nonohi hoki me haere tahi i a koutou.
25 But Moses said, “You must also give us animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings so that we may sacrifice them to Yahweh our God.
A ka mea a Mohi, Me homai ano e koe ki a matou he patunga tapu, he tahunga tinana, hei mahinga ma matou ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua.
26 Our cattle must also go with us; not a hoof of them may be left behind, for we must take them to worship Yahweh our God. For we do not know with what we must worship Yahweh until we arrive there.”
Me haere ano a matou kararehe i a matou; e kore tetahi maikuku e mahue; ka tangohia hoki e matou etahi o ena hei mahinga ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua; e kore hoki matou e mohio ki ta matou e mahi ai ki a Ihowa, kia tae ra ano ki reira.
27 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Otiia whakapakeketia ana e Ihowa te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i pai ki te tuku i a ratou.
28 Pharaoh said to Moses, “Go from me! Be careful about one thing, that you do not see me again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
Na ka mea a Parao ki a ia, Mawehe atu i ahau, kia tupato kei kite koe i toku kanohi a muri ake nei; ko te ra hoki e kite ai koe i toku kanohi, ka mate koe.
29 Moses said, “You yourself have spoken. I will not see your face again.”
Ano ra ko Mohi, Ka tika tau korero, heoi ano taku kitenga i tou kanohi ki muri ake nei.
