Ekoruhe 10
1 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;
And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have declared his heart hard, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these signs of Mine in their midst,
2 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.
and so that you recount in the ears of your son, and of your son’s son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
3 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.
And Moses comes in—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and they say to him, “Thus said YHWH, God of the Hebrews: Until when have you refused to be humbled at My presence? Send My people away, and they serve Me,
4 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:
for if you are refusing to send My people away, behold, tomorrow I am bringing in the locust into your border,
5 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:
and it has covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it has eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it has eaten every tree which is springing out of the field for you;
6 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.
and they have filled your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither your fathers nor your father’s fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground to this day.” And he turns and goes out from Pharaoh.
7 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?
And the servants of Pharaoh say to him, “Until when does this [one] become a snare to us? Send the men away, and they serve their God YHWH; do you not yet know that Egypt has perished?”
8 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?
And Moses is brought back—Aaron also—to Pharaoh, and he says to them, “Go, serve your God YHWH, but who—who [are] those going?”
9 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.
And Moses says, “With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to YHWH.”
10 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.
And he says to them, “Be it so, YHWH [is] with you when I send you and your infants away; see—for evil [is] before your faces.
11 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.
Not so! Go now, you who [are] men, and serve YHWH, for that you are seeking”; and [one] casts them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
12 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.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goes up against the land of Egypt, and eats every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”
13 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:
And Moses stretches out his rod against the land of Egypt, and YHWH has led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning has been, and the east wind has lifted up the locust.
14 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.
And the locust goes up against all the land of Egypt, and rests in all the border of Egypt—very grievous: before it there has not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such;
15 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.
and it covers the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eats every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail has left, and there has not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.
16 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.
And Pharaoh hurries to call for Moses and for Aaron and says, “I have sinned against your God YHWH, and against you,
17 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.
and now, please bear with my sin, only this time, and make supplication to your God YHWH, that He may turn aside from off me only this death.”
18 A mawehe ana ia i a Parao, inoi ana ki a Ihowa.
And he goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,
19 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.
and YHWH turns a very strong sea wind, and it lifts up the locust, and blows it into the Red Sea—there has not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt;
20 Otiia whakapakeke ana a Ihowa i te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i tuku i nga tama a Iharaira.
and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not sent the sons of Israel away.
21 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.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.”
22 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:
And Moses stretches out his hand toward the heavens, and there is darkness—thick darkness in all the land of Egypt [for] three days;
23 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.
they have not seen one another, and none has risen from his place [for] three days; but there has been light for all the sons of Israel in their dwellings.
24 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.
And Pharaoh calls to Moses and says, “Go, serve YHWH, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you”;
25 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.
and Moses says, “You also give sacrifices and burnt-offerings in our hand, and we have prepared for our God YHWH;
26 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.
and also our livestock go with us—there is not left a hoof, for we take from it to serve our God YHWH; and we do not know how we serve YHWH until our going there.”
27 Otiia whakapakeketia ana e Ihowa te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i pai ki te tuku i a ratou.
And YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh, and he has not been willing to send them away;
28 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.
and Pharaoh says to him, “Go from me, take heed to yourself, do not add to see my face, for in the day you see my face you die”;
29 Ano ra ko Mohi, Ka tika tau korero, heoi ano taku kitenga i tou kanohi ki muri ake nei.
and Moses says, “You have spoken correctly, I do not add to see your face anymore.”
