< Ekoruhe 5 >
1 A muri iho, ka haere a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka korero ki a Parao, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Tukua taku iwi kia haere ki te taka hakari ki ahau i te koraha.
Pea hili ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo tala kia Felo, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Tukuange ʻa hoku kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻae kātoanga kiate au ʻi he toafa.”
2 Na ka mea a Parao, Ko wai a Ihowa, kia rongo ahau ki tona reo, kia tukua a Iharaira? Kahore ahau e mohio ki a Ihowa, e kore hoki e tukua atu e ahau a Iharaira.
Pea pehēange ʻe Felo, “Ko hai ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke u talangofua ai ki hono leʻo ʻo tukuange ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu? ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ʻa Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai te u tukuange ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu.”
3 A ka mea raua, Kua tutaki te Atua o nga Hiperu ki a matou: kia haere ra matou, kia toru nga ra ki te ara i te koraha, ka mea patunga tapu ai matou ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua; kei torere mai ia ki a matou i te mate uruta ranei, i te hoari ranei.
Pea naʻa na pehē, “Kuo hāʻele mai ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe kau Hepelū kiate kimautolu: ko ia ʻoku mau kole ai kiate koe, tuku ʻakimautolu ke mau ʻalu ki he toafa, ko e fonongaʻanga ʻoe ʻaho ʻe tolu, ke feilaulau kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua; telia naʻa hoko ia kiate kimautolu ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha pe ko e heletā.
4 Na ka mea te kingi o Ihipa ki a raua, He aha korua, e Mohi korua ko Arona, i whakaware ai i te iwi ki a ratou mahi? haere ki a koutou kawenga.
Pea pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kiate kinaua, “ʻE Mōsese mo ʻElone, ko e hā ʻoku mo taʻofi ai ʻae kakai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngāue? Mou fei mo ʻalu ki hoʻomou ngaahi kavenga.
5 I mea ano a Parao, Nana, ka tini nei nga tangata o te whenua, na korua hoki ratou i noho ai i a ratou kawenga.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Felo, “Vakai, ko ʻeni, ʻoku tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua pea ʻoku mou taʻofi ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi kavenga.”
6 Na ka ako a Parao i taua ra ki nga kaiakiaki o te iwi, ki o ratou rangatira, ka mea,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Felo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he kau enginaki ngāue ʻoe kakai, mo honau kau matāpule, ʻo pehē,
7 Kaua e hoatu he takakau ki te iwi a muri ake nei, hei hanga pereki, pera i o mua ra: me haere ratou ki te kohikohi takakau ma ratou.
“ʻOua te mou kei ʻatu ki he kakai ʻae mohuku mōmoa ke ngaohi ʻae makaʻumea ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai: tuku ke nau ʻalu ʻo tānaki ʻae mohuku mōmoa maʻanautolu.
8 Otiia, whakaritea ki a ratou kia rite tonu nga pereki te maha ki era i hanga e ratou i mua; kaua e whakahokia iho te maha; he mangere hoki ratou; koia ratou i karanga ai, i mea ai, Kia haere matou ki te mea patunga tapu ki to matou Atua.
Pea ko hono lau ʻoe ngaahi makaʻumea ʻaia naʻa nau muʻaki ngaohi, te mou fakapapau ia kiate kinautolu; ʻe ʻikai te mou fakasiʻisiʻi ia, he ʻoku nau fakapikopiko; ko ia ʻoku nau tangi ai, ʻo pehē, Tukuange ʻakimautolu ke ʻalu ʻo feilaulau ki homau ʻOtua.
9 Whakanuia te mahi ma nga tangata ra, a ko tena hei mahi ma ratou; kaua hoki ratou e whakarongo ki nga kupu horihori.
Fakalahi ki he ngāue ʻae kau tangata, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻua ai; pea ʻoua naʻa nau tokanga ki he ngaahi launoa.”
10 Na ka haere nga kaiakiaki o te iwi, me o ratou rangatira, ka korero ki te iwi, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Parao, e kore e hoatu e ahau he takakau ki a koutou.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻae kau ʻenginaki ngāue ʻoe kakai, mo honau kau matāpule, ʻonau lea ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Felo, ʻE ʻikai te u ʻatu ʻae mohuku mōmoa kiate kimoutolu.
11 Haere ki te kohikohi takakau ma koutou i te wahi e kitea ai e koutou: otiia, kaua e whakahokia iho tetahi wahi o ta koutou e mahi ai.
Mou ʻalu, ʻo maʻu ʻae mohuku mōmoa mei ha potu pe: ka ʻe ʻikai siʻi fakasiʻisiʻi ai hoʻomou ngāue.”
12 Na ka marara noa atu te iwi ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, ki te kohikohi putake witi hei takakau.
Pea ko ia naʻe movetevete ai ʻae kakai ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ke tānaki ʻae louveve ko e fetongi ʻoe mohuku mōmoa.
13 A ka whakatatutatu nga kaiakiaki, ka mea, Whakaotia a koutou mahi, to tenei rangi, to tenei rangi, kia rite ki o te wa i whai takakau ai.
Pea naʻe fakavavevave ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau enginaki ngāue, ʻo pehē, “Fakakakato hoʻomou ngāue ki he ʻaho taki taha, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he ʻi ai ʻae mohuku.
14 Na ka whiua nga rangatira o nga tama a Iharaira i whakaritea mo ratou e nga kaiakiaki a Parao, ka mea ratou, He aha te whakaotia ai inanahi, inaianei, a koutou pereki i whakaritea ki a koutou, te pera ai me o mua ra?
Pea ko e kau matāpule ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he kau enginaki ngāue ʻa Felo, ke pule kiate kinautolu, naʻe teʻia, pea ʻeke kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te mou fakakakato ai hono lau ʻoe maka naʻe tala ke ngaohi ʻaneafi, pea mo e ʻaho ni, ʻo hangē ko hono muʻaki fai?”
15 Na ka haere nga rangatira o nga tama a Iharaira, me te tangi ano, ki a Parao, ka mea, He aha koe i penei ai ki au pononga?
Pea haʻu ai ʻae kau matāpule ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Felo, ʻo tangi ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai pehē ai ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki?
16 Kahore he takakau i homai ki au pononga, a e mea ana ratou ki a matou, Hanga he pereki: na ka whiua au pononga; no au tangata ia te he.
ʻOku ʻikai tuku mai ha mohuku mōmoa ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻoku nau tala mai, ‘Ngaohi ʻae maka:’ pea vakai, kuo teʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ka ko hono kovi ʻoku ʻi ho kakai ʻoʻou.”
17 Na ka mea ia, He mangere koutou, he mangere; na reira koutou ka mea ai, Tukua matou kia haere ki te mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku mou fakapikopiko, ʻoku mou fakapikopiko: ko ia ʻoku mou pehē ai, ‘Tuku ʻakimautolu ke mau ʻalu ʻo feilaulau kia Sihova.’
18 Na, haere, e mahi; e kore hoki e hoatu he takakau ki a koutou; otiia me homai ano nga pereki i whakaritea ra.
Ko ia mou ʻalu ni ʻo ngāue: ʻe ʻikai ʻatu ha mohuku mōmoa kiate kimoutolu, ka te mou ʻatu hono lau totonu ʻo hoʻomou makaʻumea.”
19 Na, ka kite nga rangatira o nga tama a Iharaira i te kino mo ratou, i te kianga ra, Kaua e whakaokuokutia iho a koutou pereki, hei mahinga ma koutou i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
Pea mamata ʻae kau matāpule ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻoku nau tuʻutāmaki, hili hono tala, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te mou fakasiʻisiʻi ʻae makaʻumea mei he ngāue ʻoe ʻaho taki taha.”
20 A ka tutaki ratou ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, e tu mai ana i mua i a ratou, i to ratou haerenga mai i a Parao:
Pea naʻa nau fetaulaki mo Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻoku tutuʻu ʻi he hala, ʻi heʻenau haʻu kituʻa meia Felo.
21 A ka mea ki a raua, Ma Ihowa e titiro ki a korua, e whakawa; na korua hoki matou i piro whakarihariha ai ki te aroaro o Parao, ki te aroaro hoki o ana pononga, na korua i hoatu he hoari ki o ratou ringa hei patu i a matou.
Pea nau pehē kiate kinaua, “Ke vakai ʻa Sihova kiate kimoua, pea fakamaauʻi: koeʻuhi kuo mo fakanamukūʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, pea mo e ʻao ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ke ai ʻae heletā ʻi honau nima ke fakapoongi ʻaki ʻakimautolu.”
22 Na ka hoki a Mohi ki a Ihowa, a ka mea, E te Ariki, he aha koe i mahi he ai ki tenei iwi? he aha koe i unga ai i ahau?
Pea naʻe toe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki ko e hā kuo ke fai kovi pehē ai ki he kakai ni? Ko e hā kuo ke fekau ai au?
23 No toku haerenga atu hoki ki a Parao ki te korero i runga i tou ingoa, i kino ai ia ki tenei iwi; kahore ano hoki koe kia whakaora noa i tau iwi, kahore rawa.
He talu ʻeku haʻu kia Felo ke lea ʻi ho huafa, kuo fai kovi ʻe ia ki he kakai ni; pea ʻoku teʻeki ʻaupito te ke fakamoʻui ho kakai.”
