< 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 touch Pharaoh and Egypt with one more plague, and after these things he will release you, and he will compel you to go out.
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.
Therefore, you will tell all the people to ask, a man of his friend, and a woman of her neighbor, for vessels 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.
Then the Lord will grant favor to his people in the sight of the Egyptians.” And Moses was a very great man in the land of Egypt, in the sight of the servants of Pharaoh and of all 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 he said: “Thus says the Lord: ‘In the middle of the night I will enter into 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 every firstborn in the land of the Egyptians shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the handmaid, who is at the millstone, and all the firstborn of the beasts of burden.
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 outcry throughout the entire land of Egypt, such as has not been before, nor ever will be afterward.
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 among all the sons of Israel there shall not be even a mutter from a dog, from man, even to cattle, so that you may know how miraculously the Lord divides the Egyptians from Israel.’
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, shall descend to me and shall reverence me, by saying: ‘Depart, you and all the people who are subject to you.’ After these things, we will depart.”
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 he went out from Pharaoh exceedingly angry. Then the Lord said to Moses: “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that many signs may be accomplished 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.
Now Moses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, in the sight of Pharaoh. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel from his land.
