Pukaana 3

1 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.

Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

2 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.

There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from within a bush. Moses saw the bush ablaze with fire, but it was not consumed.

3 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.

So Moses thought, “I must go over and see this marvelous sight. Why is the bush not burning up?”

4 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.

When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from within the bush, “Moses, Moses!” “Here I am,” he answered.

5 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.

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”

6 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.

Then He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

7 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.

The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the affliction of My people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their oppressors, and I am aware of their sufferings.

8 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.

I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

9 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.

And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them.

10 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.

Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

11 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?

But Moses asked God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

12 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.

“I will surely be with you,” God said, “and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, all of you will worship God on this mountain.”

13 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?

Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?”

14 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.

God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

15 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.

God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.

16 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.

Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me and said: I have surely attended to you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.

17 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.

And I have promised to bring you up out of your affliction in Egypt, into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

18 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.

The elders of Israel will listen to what you say, and you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’

19 Ua ike no nae au, aole e hookuu mai ke alii o Aigupita ia oukou, aole no ma ka lima ikaika.

But I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless a mighty hand compels him.

20 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.

So I will stretch out My hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders I will perform among them. And after that, he will release you.

21 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.

And I will grant this people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that when you leave, you will not go away empty-handed.

22 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.

Every woman shall ask her neighbor and any woman staying in her house for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, and you will put them on your sons and daughters. So you will plunder the Egyptians.”
