Ekoruhe 9
1 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere ki a Parao, mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga Hiperu, Tukua taku iwi kia haere ki te mahi ki ahau.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: Release my people, to sacrifice to me.
2 Ki te kore hoki koe e rongo ki te tuku, ki te pupuri tonu i a ratou;
But if you still refuse, and you retain them,
3 Nana, ka pa te ringa o Ihowa ki au kararehe i te parae, ki nga hoiho ki nga kaihe, ki nga kamera, ki nga kau, ki nga hipi: ka pa he mate kino rawa.
behold, my hand will be over your fields. And a very grievous pestilence will be upon the horses, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the oxen, and the sheep.
4 A e wehewehe a Ihowa i nga kararehe a Iharaira, i nga karerehe a Ihipa: e kore e mate tetahi o nga mea katoa a nga tama a Iharaira.
And the Lord will cause a miracle between the possessions of Israel and the possessions of the Egyptians, so that nothing at all will perish from those things which belong to the sons of Israel.”
5 I whakaritea ano e Ihowa he taima, i mea ia, Ko apopo a Ihowa mea ai i tenei mea ki te whenua.
And the Lord appointed a time, saying: “Tomorrow, the Lord will accomplish this word in the land.”
6 I te aonga ake ka meatia taua mea e Ihowa, a mate iho nga kararehe katoa o Ihipa; ko nga kararehe ia a nga tama a Iharaira, kihai i mate tetahi.
Therefore, the Lord accomplished this word the next day. And all the animals of the Egyptians died. Yet truly, of the animals of the sons of Israel, nothing at all perished.
7 Na ka tonoa he kaititiro e Parao, na, kahore i mate kia kotahi o nga kararehe a nga tama a Iharaira. A ka whakapakeketia te ngakau o Parao, kihai hoki ia i tuku i te iwi.
And Pharaoh sent to see; neither was there anything dead of those things that Israel possessed. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not release the people.
8 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, Aohia mai etahi pungarehu ma korua i te oumu, kia ki nga ringa, a ma Mohi e ruke whaka te rangi i te tirohanga a Parao.
And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron: “Take handfuls of ashes from the oven, and let Moses sprinkle it into the air, in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 A ka whakapuehu ririki ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, a ka meinga hei whewhe pukupuku e tupu ana ki te tangata, ki te kararehe i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
And let there be dust upon all the land of Egypt. For there will be sores and swelling pustules on men and on beasts, throughout the entire land of Egypt.”
10 Na ka aohia e raua he pungarehu i te oumu, a tu ana ki te aroaro o Parao; a ka rukea e Mohi whaka te rangi, na he whewhe pukupuku e tupu ana ki te tangata, ki te kararehe.
And they took ashes from the oven, and they stood in the sight of Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it in the air. And there came sores with swelling pustules on men and on beasts.
11 A kihai nga tohunga i ahei te tu ki te aroaro o Mohi i nga whewhe; kei nga tohunga hoki te whewhe, kei nga Ihipiana katoa ano hoki.
Neither could the sorcerers stand in the sight of Moses, because of the sores that were on them and on all the land of Egypt.
12 Na ka whakapakeke a Ihowa i te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i rongo ki a raua; ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai ki a Mohi.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord said to Moses.
13 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Maranga wawe i te ata, ka tu ki te aroaro o Parao, ka mea ki a ia, E penei mai ana a Ihowa, te Atua o nga Hiperu, Tukua taku iwi kia haere ki te mahi ki ahau.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Rise up in the morning, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: Release my people to sacrifice to me.
14 Ko a tenei taima hoki ka tukua atu e ahau aku whiu katoa ki tou ngakau, ki ou tangata hoki, ratou ko tou iwi; kia mohio ai koe kahore tetahi e rite ana ki ahau i te whenua katoa.
For at this turn, I will send all my plagues upon your heart, and upon your servants, and upon your people. So may you know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 Ko akuanei hoki takiritia ai toku ringa, a ka patu ahau i a koe, i tou iwi hoki, ki te mate uruta; a ka ngaro atu koe i te whenua.
For now, extending my hand, I shall strike you and your people with pestilence, and you will perish from the earth.
16 Otiia mo konei pu ahau i whakaara ai i a koe, kia ai koe hei whakakitenga mo toku kaha; kia korerotia ai hoki toku ingoa ki te ao katoa.
But it was for this reason that I appointed you, so that I may reveal my strength by you, and so that my name may be described throughout all the earth.
17 E whakakake tonu ana ano koe ki taku iwi, te tuku ai i a ratou?
Do you still retain my people, and are you still unwilling to release them?
18 Nana, kia penei apopo, ka uaina e ahau he whatu, he mea nanakia rawa, kahore he pena i Ihipa o te pito nohoanga iho ano a mohoa noa nei.
So then, tomorrow, at this same hour, I will rain down exceedingly great hail, such as has not been in Egypt from the day that it was founded, even until this present time.
19 Na, unga atu, huihuia au kararehe, me au mea katoa i te parae; ko nga tangata katoa me nga kararehe e rokohanga ki te parae, a kihai i huihuia ki te whare, ina, ka rere iho te whatu ki runga ki a ratou, a ka mate.
Therefore, send immediately and gather together your cattle, and all that you have in the field. For men and beasts, and all things that will be found outside, not gathered in from the fields, and on which the hail will fall, shall die.’”
20 Ko te tangata a Parao i wehi i te kupu a Ihowa, i meatia e ia ona tangata me ana kararehe kia rere ki nga whare:
He who feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh caused his servants and cattle to flee together into the houses.
21 Ko te tangata ia kihai i anga tona ngakau ki te kupu a Ihowa, i waiho atu e ia ana tangata me ana kararehe i te parae.
But he who neglected the word of the Lord released his servants and cattle into the fields.
22 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Totoro atu tou ringa ki te rangi, kia puta ai he whatu ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, ki te tangata, ki te kararehe, ki nga mea tupu katoa o te mara, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky, so that there may be hail in the entire land of Egypt, on men, and on beasts, and on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.”
23 Na ka toro atu te tokotoko a Mohi whaka te rangi: ko te tino tukunga mai a Ihowa i nga whatitiri, i te whatu; a rere ana te ahi ki runga i te whenua; a uaina iho ana e Ihowa te whatu ki te whenua o Ihipa.
And Moses extended his staff into the sky, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and also lightning dashing across the earth. And the Lord rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 Na he whatu tena, he ahi hoki e whakauru ana ki roto ki te whatu, he nanakia rawa, kahore ona rite i te whenua katoa o Ihipa, o te timatanga iho ano o taua iwi.
And the hail and intermingled fire drove on together. And it was of such magnitude as had never before been seen in the entire land of Egypt, from the time when that nation was formed.
25 Na i patua iho e te whatu, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa, nga mea katoa i te parae, te tangata, te kararehe; i patu ano te whatu i nga otaota katoa o te mara, i whatiwhati hoki i nga rakau katoa o te mara.
And the hail struck, throughout all the land of Egypt, everything that was in the fields, from man even to beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field, and it broke every tree of the region.
26 Ko te whenua ia o Kohena, i nga tama a Iharaira, kahore he whatu.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, did the hail not fall.
27 Na ka tono tangata a Parao hei karanga i a Mohi raua ko Arona, a ka mea ia ki a raua, Kua hara ahau i tenei wa: he tika a Ihowa, tena ko ahau, matou tahi ko toku iwi, he kino.
And Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron, saying to them: “I have sinned even until now. The Lord is just. I and my people are impious.
28 Inoi ki a Ihowa; kua iro na hoki i enei whatitiri nunui me nga whatu; a ka tuku ahau i a koutou, a heoi ano to koutou nohoanga.
Pray to the Lord, so that the thundering of God and the hail may cease, so that I may release you, and so that you may by no means remain here any longer.”
29 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ia, Kia puta atu ahau ki waho i te pa, ka whakatuwhera atu ahau i oku ringa ki a Ihowa: a e mutu nga whatitiri, a ka kore noa iho te whatu; kia mohio ai koe no Ihowa te whenua.
Moses said: “When I have departed from the city, I will extend my hands to the Lord, and the thunders will cease, and the hail will not be, so that you may know that the earth belongs to the Lord.
30 Ko koe ia, me au tangata, e mohio ana ahau kahore ano koutou i wehi noa i a Ihowa, i te Atua.
But I know that both you and your servants do not yet fear the Lord God.”
31 I patua te korari me te parei; kua pupuku hoki te parei, kua pua hoki te korari.
And so, the flax and the barley were damaged, because the barley was growing, and the flax was already developing grains.
32 Ko te witi ia me te rai kihai i patua; kahore hoki ena i tupu noa.
But the wheat and the spelt were not damaged, because they were late.
33 Na ka mawehe atu a Mohi i a Parao ki waho i te pa, a ka whakatuwhera i ona ringa ki a Ihowa; a mutu iho nga whatitiri me te whatu, kihai hoki te ua i ringihia ki te whenua.
And Moses, departing from Pharaoh out of the city, reached out his hands toward the Lord. And the thunders and hail ceased, neither did there drop any more rain upon the land.
34 A, no te kitenga a Parao kua mutu te ua, te whatu, me nga whatitiri, ka hara ano ia, ka whakapakeke i tona ngakau, ratou tahi ko ona tangata.
Then Pharaoh, seeing that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders had ceased, added to his sin.
35 Heoi, whakapakeketia ana te ngakau o Parao, kihai hoki ia i tuku i nga tama a Iharaira; ko ta Ihowa hoki i korero ai ki a Mohi.
And his heart was weighed down, along with that of his servants, and it was hardened exceedingly. Neither did he release the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had instructed by the hand of Moses.
