ʻEkisotosi 6

1 Pea naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ko eni, te ke mamata ki he meʻa te u fai kia Felo: koeʻuhi ʻi he nima mālohi te ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu, pea ʻi he nima mālohi te ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua.”

Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. You will see this, for he will let them go because of my strong hand. Because of my strong hand, he will drive them out of his land.”

2 Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko au ko Sihova.

God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am Yahweh.

3 Pea naʻaku fakahā au kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope, ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi, ka ko hoku huafa KO SIHOVA, naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ai au ʻekinautolu.

I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty; but by my name, Yahweh, I was not known to them.

4 Pea kuo u fakapapau ʻeku fuakava mo kinautolu, ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, ko e fonua ʻo ʻenau fononga fano, ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai ko e muli.

I also established my covenant with them, in order to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as non-citizens, the land in which they wandered about.

5 Pea kuo u ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi toʻe foki ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kei fakapōpulaʻi ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite: pea kuo u manatuʻi ʻeku fuakava.

Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have enslaved, and I have called to mind my covenant.

6 Ko ia, lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ‘Ko au ko Sihova, pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu kituʻa mei he ngaahi kavenga ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, pea te u fakangata ʻa hoʻomou pōpula kiate kinautolu, pea teu huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae nima kuo mafao, mo e ngaahi tautea lahi:

Therefore, say to the Israelites, 'I am Yahweh. I will bring you out from slavery under the Egyptians, and I will free you from their power. I will rescue you with a display of my power, and with mighty acts of judgment.

7 Pea te u maʻu ʻakimoutolu kiate au ko hoku kakai, pea teu ʻiate kimoutolu ko homou ʻOtua: pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻoku ou ʻomi ʻakimoutolu kituʻa mei he ngaahi kavenga ʻae kakai ʻIsipite.

I will take you to myself as my people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from slavery under the Egyptians.

8 Pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua, ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ke foaki ia kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope; pea te u foaki ia kiate kimoutolu ko e tofiʻa: Ko au ko Sihova.’”

I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am Yahweh.'”

9 Pea naʻe lea pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga kia Mōsese ko e meʻa ʻi he feinga ʻa honau laumālie, mo e māmani ʻo honau pōpula.

When Moses told this to the Israelites, they would not listen to him because of their discouragement about their harsh slavery.

10 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

11 “ʻAlu, ʻo lea kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, ke ne tukuange ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke ʻalu mei hono fonua.”

“Go tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to let the people of Israel go from his land.”

12 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au: pea ʻe tokanga fēfeeʻi ʻa Felo kiate au, ko e loungutu taʻekamu ko au?”

Moses said to Yahweh, “If the Israelites have not listened to me, why will Pharaoh listen to me, since I am not good at speaking?”

13 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, pea mo ʻElone, “ʻO ne tuku kiate kinaua ʻae fekau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, ke ʻomi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He gave them a command for the Israelites and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

14 Pea ko e ngaahi ʻeiki eni ʻoe fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai: Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Lupeni ko e ʻuluaki foha ʻo ʻIsileli; ko Henoke, mo Falu, mo Hesiloni, mo Kalimi; ko e ngaahi faʻahinga eni ʻo Lupeni.

16 Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Livai ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi toʻutangata; ko Kesoni, mo Kohate, mo Melali: pea ko e ngaahi taʻu ʻoe moʻui ʻa Livai ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma fitu.

Here are listed the names of the sons of Levi, together with their descendants. They were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi lived until he was 137 years old.

17 Ko e ongo foha ʻo Kesoni: ko Sipinai, mo Simi, ʻo fakatatau ki hona faʻahinga:

The sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimei.

18 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Kohate; ko ʻAmilami, mo ʻIsa, mo Hepeloni, mo ʻUsili: pea ko e ngaahi taʻu ʻoe moʻui ʻa Kohate, ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu.

The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath lived until he was 133 years old.

20 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻAmilami ʻa Sokapeti ko e tuofefine ʻo ʻene tamai ʻo na mali; pea ne fanauʻi kiate ia ʻa ʻElone mo Mōsese: pea ko e ngaahi taʻu ʻoe moʻui ʻa ʻAmilami ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma fitu.

23 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻElone ʻa ʻElisipa, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻAminatape, ko e tuofefine ʻo Neasoni, ʻo na mali; pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻa Natipi mo ʻApiu, mo ʻEliesa, mo ʻItama.

Eleazar, Aaron's son, married one of the daughters of Putiel. She bore him Phinehas. These were the heads of the fathers' houses among the Levites, together with their descendants.

26 Ko eni ʻae ʻElone mo e Mōsese ko ia, naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova, “Mo omi kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi kongakau.

These two men were the Aaron and Moses to whom Yahweh said, “Bring out the Israelites from the land of Egypt, by their groups of fighting men.”

27 Ko kinaua ʻeni ʻaia naʻa na lea kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, ke ʻomi kituaʻā ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite: ko eni ʻae Mōsese mo e ʻElone ko ia.”

Aaron and Moses spoke to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to allow them bring out the Israelites from Egypt. These were the same Moses and Aaron.

28 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite,

When Yahweh spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehēange, “Ko au ko Sihova: ke ke tala ʻe koe kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe.”

he said to him, “I am Yahweh. Say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything that I will tell you.”

30 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, “Vakai, ko e loungutu taʻekamu au, pea ʻe tokanga fēfeeʻi ʻa Felo kiate au?”

But Moses said to Yahweh, “I am not good at speaking, so why will Pharaoh listen to me?”
