Ekoruhe 7
1 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Na, kua oti koe te mea e ahau hei atua ki a Parao; ko Arona hoki, ko tou tuakana, hei poropiti mau.
The LORD said to Moses, "Look, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 Korerotia nga mea katoa e ki ai ahau ki a koe; a ma Arona, ma tou tuakana, e korero ki a Parao, kia tukua e ia nga tama a Iharaira i tona whenua.
You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 A maku e whakapakeke te ngakau o Parao, e whakamaha hoki aku tohu me aku merekara ki te whenua o Ihipa.
I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 Otiia e kore a Parao e rongo ki a korua, a ka pa toku ringa ki Ihipa, he nui ano hoki nga whakawa e whakaputaina ai e ahau aku mano tini, taku iwi, nga tama a Iharaira, i te whenua o Ihipa.
But Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring forth my regiments, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 A e mohio nga Ihipiana ko Ihowa ahau, ina totoro toku ringa ki Ihipa, a ka whakaputaina mai e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i roto i a ratou.
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them."
6 I mea ano a Mohi raua ko Arona i ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a raua, pera ana raua.
Moses and Aaron did so. As the LORD commanded them, so they did.
7 A e waru tekau nga tau o Mohi, e waru tekau ma toru nga tau o Arona, i ta raua korerotanga ki a Parao.
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 Ki te puta ki a korua ta Parao kupu, Tena koa, tetahi merekara i a korua; ko reira koe mea ai ki a Arona, E mau ki tau tokotoko, maka iho ki te aroaro o Parao, a ka nakahi.
"When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, 'Perform a miracle.' then you shall tell Aaron, 'Take your staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent.'"
10 Na ka haere a Mohi raua ko Arona ki a Parao, a peratia ana e raua me ta Ihowa i mea ai: maka iho ana e Arona tona tokotoko ki te aroaro o Parao, ki te aroaro hoki o ana tangata, na, kua nakahi.
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Na ka karanga hoki a Parao i nga tangata mohio, i nga tohunga maori: na, ko ratou, ko nga tohunga o Ihipa, i pera ano ratou ki a ratou nei karakia maori.
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their secret arts.
12 Maka iho ana hoki e tenei, e tenei, a ratou tokotoko, a nakahi ana: otiia i horomia a ratou tokotoko e te tokotoko a Arona.
For they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents: but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs.
13 Na ka whakapakeketia e ia te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i rongo ki a raua, ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai.
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as the LORD had spoken.
14 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, E pakeke ana te ngakau o Parao, kahore ia e whakaae ana ki te tuku i te iwi.
The LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 Haere ki a Parao i te ata, na, e haere ana ia ki te wai; a hei te pareparenga o te awa tu atu ai koe ki a ia; ko te tokotoko hoki i nakahi ra, maua i tou ringa.
Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Look, he goes out to the water; and you shall stand by the river's bank to meet him; and the staff which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand.
16 A ka mea koe ki a ia, Na Ihowa, na te Atua o nga Hiperu ahau i unga mai ki a koe; e mea ana ia, Tukua taku iwi kia mahi ki ahau i te koraha: titiro, kahore koe kia rongo a mohoa noa nei.
You shall tell him, 'The LORD, God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, "Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness:" and look, until now you haven't listened.
17 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, ma konei e mohio ai koe ko Ihowa ahau: nana, maku e patu nga wai i te awa ki te tokotoko i toku ringa, a ka riro ke hei toto.
Thus says the LORD, "In this you shall know that I am the LORD. Look, I will strike with the staff that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 E mate hoki nga ika i roto i te awa, a e piro te awa; a e anuanu nga Ihipiana ki te inu i te wai o te awa.
The fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river."'"
19 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Mea atu ki a Arona, E mau ki tau tokotoko, totoro hoki tou ringa ki nga wai o Ihipa, ki o ratou wai e rere ana, ki o ratou awa, ki o ratou roto, ki o ratou huihuinga wai katoa, kia meinga ai hei toto; a ka whai toto nga oko rakau, kohatu hoki, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Take your staff, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'"
20 A peratia ana e Mohi raua ko Arona me ta Ihowa i ako ai; hapainga ana e ia te tokotoko, patua ana ki nga wai o te awa, i te tirohanga a Parao, i te tirohanga ano hoki a ana tangata; a riro ke ana hei toto nga wai katoa o te awa.
Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 A mate ana nga ika i te awa; a piro ana te awa, kihai hoki i ahei i nga Ihipiana te inu i te wai o te awa: na he toto tera i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
The fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians couldn't drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 A, peratia ana e nga tohunga o Ihipa ki a ratou na mahi maori: a ka whakapakeketia te ngakau o Parao, kahore hoki ia i whakarongo ki a raua; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa i korero ai.
The magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as the LORD had spoken.
23 Na tahuri ana a Parao, haere ana ki roto ki tona whare, kihai ano hoki i whakaanga i tona ngakau ki tenei.
Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart.
24 Na ka keri nga Ihipiana katoa ki nga taha o te awa i te wai hei inu; kihai hoki i ahei te inu i te wai o te awa.
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn't drink of the water of the river.
25 Na kua rite nga ra e whitu i muri i ta Ihowa patunga i te awa.
Seven days were fulfilled, after the LORD had struck the river.
