Ekoruhe 3
1 Na, i te tiaki a Mohi i nga hipi a tona hungawai, a Ietoro, tohunga o Miriana; a ka arahi ia i nga hipi ki te taha ki muri o te koraha, ka tae ki te maunga o te Atua, ki Horepa.
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 A ka puta ki a ia te anahera a Ihowa i roto i te mura ahi, i waenganui o tetahi rakau; a ka titiro ia, na, e toro ana te rakau i te ahi, a kihai i pau te rakau.
And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 Na ka mea a Mohi, Ka tahuri ahau, ka matakitaki atu ki tenei mea nui kua puta nei, he aha te rakau te pau ai.
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 A ka kite a Ihowa e tahuri ana ia ki te matakitaki, ka karanga te Atua ki a ia i waenganui o te rakau, ka mea, E Mohi, e Mohi! A ka mea ia, Tenei ahau.
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 Na ka mea ia, Kaua e whakatata mai ki konei; wetekina ou hu i ou waewae, ko te wahi hoki e tu na koe, he wahi tapu.
And he said, Draw not near here: put off your shoes from off your feet, for the place where on you stand is holy ground.
6 Ka mea ano ia, Ko ahau te Atua o tou papa, te Atua o Aperahama, te Atua o Ihaka, te Atua o Hakopa. A huna ana a Mohi i tona kanohi; i wehi hoki ia ki te titiro atu ki te Atua.
Moreover he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look on God.
7 A ka mea a Ihowa, Kua kite pu ahau i te tukino o taku iwi i Ihipa, kua rongo hoki ki ta ratou aue i o ratou kaiakiaki; e mohio ana hoki ahau ki o ratou mamae;
And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 A kua heke iho nei ahau ki te whakaora i a ratou i te ringa o nga Ihipiana, ki te kawe atu i a ratou i tera whenua ki tetahi whenua pai, whenua nui, ki tetahi whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, ki te wahi o nga Kanaani, o nga Hiti, o nga Amori, o nga Perihi, o nga Hiwi, o nga Iepuhi.
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good land and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9 Na, kua tae ake te karanga a nga tama a Iharaira ki ahau: kua kite hoki ahau i te tukino e tukinotia nei ratou e nga Ihipiana.
Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me: and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Na reira, haere mai, maku koe e unga ki a Parao, a mau e whakaputa mai taku iwi, nga tama a Iharaira, i Ihipa.
Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 Na ka mea a Mohi ki te Atua, He aha ahau, kia haere ahau ki a Parao, kia whakaputa mai hoki i nga tama a Iharaira i Ihipa?
And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 A ka mea ia, Kei a koe tonu ra ahau: ko te tohu ano tenei mou ka unga nei e ahau: ka whakaputaina mai e koe te iwi i Ihipa, ka mahi koutou ki te Atua ki runga i tenei maunga.
And he said, Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be a token to you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.
13 Na ka mea a Mohi ki te Atua, Na ka tae ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira, ka mea ki a ratou, Na te Atua o o koutou matua ahau i ngare mai ki a koutou; a ka mea mai ratou ki ahau, Ko wai tona ingoa? Me pehea atu ahau ki a ratou?
And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say to them?
14 Na ka mea te Atua ki a Mohi, Ko AHAU ANO AHAU NEI: i mea ano ia, Kia penei atu koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, Na te AHAU NEI ahau i ngare mai ki a koutou.
And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.
15 A ka mea ano te Atua ki a Mohi, Kia penei atu koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, Na Ihowa, na te Atua o o koutou matua, na te Atua o Aperahama, na te Atua o Ihaka, na te Atua hoki o Hakopa, i tono mai ahau ki a koutou; ko toku ingoa tenei ake ake, ko t oku whakamaharatanga hoki tenei ki nga whakapaparanga katoa.
And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, the LORD 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 for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
16 Haere, whakaminea nga kaumatua o Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Kua puta mai ki ahau a Ihowa, te Atua o o koutou matua, te Atua o Aperahama, o Ihaka, o Hakopa: e ai tana, Kua tikina mai, kua tirohia marietia koutou e ahau, me nga mea e meatia ana ki a koutou i Ihipa:
Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
17 Kua mea nei ano ahau, ka whakaputaina mai koutou e ahau i te whakawhiu a Ihipa ki te whenua o nga Kanaani, o nga Hiti, o nga Amori, o nga Perihi, o nga Hiwi, o nga Iepuhi, ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.
And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.
18 A e rongo ratou ki tou reo; a ka haere koe, koutou tahi ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira, ki te kingi o Ihipa, ka mea ki a ia, Kua tutaki a Ihowa, te Atua o nga Hiperu ki a matou: tukua matou kia haere, kia toru nga ra e haere ana i te koraha, kia pat u ai matou he whakahere ma Ihowa, ma to matou Atua.
And they shall listen to your voice: and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us: and now let us go, we beseech you, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
19 A e mohio ana ahau e kore te kingi o Ihipa e tuku i a koutou, kahore, ki te kahore he ringa kaha.
And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 A ka takiritia toku ringa, ka patua hoki a Ihipa ki aku merekara katoa, e mea ai ahau i waenganui ona; a, muri iho, ka tukua mai koutou e ia.
And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the middle thereof: and after that he will let you go.
21 A maku e mea kia paingia tenei iwi i te aroaro o nga Ihipiana: a ka haere koutou, e kore e haere kau;
And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when you go, you shall not go empty.
22 Engari me tono e ia wahine, e ia wahine, ki tona hoa tata, ki te wahine hoki e noho ana i tona whare, he mea hiriwa, he mea korua, he kakahu; a ka hoatu ki a koutou tama, ki a koutou tamahine; a ka pahuatia e koutou nga Ihipiana.
But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters; and you shall spoil the Egyptians.
