Ekoruhe 11

1 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kia kotahi atu whiu e whakapangia e ahau ki a Parao, ki Ihipa; muri iho ka tukua koutou e ia i konei: ka tukua koutou, ina, ka tino peia katoatia koutou e ia i konei.

And the Lord said to Moses, I will send one more punishment on Pharaoh and on Egypt; after that he will let you go; and when he does let you go, he will not keep one of you back, but will send you out by force.

2 Korero inaianei ki nga taringa o te iwi, a ma te tane, ma te wahine, e tono he mea hiriwa, he mea koura i tona hoa, i tona hoa.

So go now and give orders to the people that every man and every woman is to get from his or her neighbour ornaments of silver and of gold.

3 A i meinga ano e Ihowa kia paingia te iwi e nga Ihipiana. Ko te tangata nei hoki ko Mohi, i nui rawa ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki te aroaro o nga tangata a Parao, ki te aroaro ano hoki o te iwi.

And the Lord gave the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians. For the man Moses was highly honoured in the land of Egypt, by Pharaoh's servants and the people.

4 Na ka mea a Mohi, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Hei waenganui po ahau ka tika na waenganui o Ihipa:

And Moses said, This is what the Lord says: About the middle of the night I will go out through Egypt:

5 A ka mate nga matamua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa, te matamua a Parao e noho ana i runga i tona torona, a tae iho ana ki te matamua a te pononga wahine i tua i te mira; me nga matamua katoa a nga kararehe:

And death will come to every mother's first male child in all the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power, to the child of the servant-girl crushing the grain; and the first births of all the cattle.

6 A ka nui te tangi i te whenua katoa o Ihipa, kahore he pera i mua, e kore ano hoki e pera e takoto ake nei.

And there will be a great cry through all the land of Egypt, such as never has been or will be again.

7 Otira e kore e oraora te arero o tetahi kuri ki tetahi o nga tama a Iharaira, ki te tangata, ki te kararehe; kia mohio ai koutou e titore ana a Ihowa i waenga o nga Ihipiana, o Iharaira.

But against the children of Israel, man or beast, not so much as the tongue of a dog will be moved: so that you may see how the Lord makes a division between Israel and the Egyptians.

8 A e haere ake enei tangata katoa au ki ahau, e piko ki ahau, e mea, Haere koe me te iwi katoa e haere ana i raro i ou waewae; a, muri iho ka haere ahau. A puta ana ia i a Parao, he nui hoki tona riri.

And all these your servants will come to me, going down on their faces before me and saying, Go out, and all your people with you: and after that I will go out. And he went away from Pharaoh burning with wrath.

9 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, E kore a Parao e rongo ki a korua, kia maha ai aku merekara ki te whenua o Ihipa.

And the Lord said to Moses, Pharaoh will not give ear to you, so that my wonders may be increased in the land of Egypt.

10 A meatia ana e Mohi raua ko Arona enei merekara katoa ki te aroaro o Parao: a, i whakapakeke ano a Ihowa i te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i tuku i nga tama a Iharaira i tona whenua.

All these wonders Moses and Aaron did before Pharaoh: but the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
