ʻEkisotosi 7
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, Kuo u ngaohi koe ke ke hangē ko e ʻotua kia Felo: pea ko ʻElone ko ho taʻokete, ko hoʻo fakafofonga ia.
Then the Lord saide to Moses, Behold, I haue made thee Pharaohs God, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy Prophet.
2 Pea ke ke lea ʻaki ʻe koe ʻaia kotoa pē te u fekau kiate koe: pea ʻe lea ʻa ho taʻokete ko ʻElone kia Felo, koeʻuhi ke ne tuku atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei hono fonua.
Thou shalt speake all that I commanded thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speake vnto Pharaoh, that he suffer the children of Israel to go out of his land.
3 Pea te u fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea te u fakalahi ʻeku mana mo ʻeku meʻa fakaofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
But I will harden Pharaohs heart, and multiplie my miracles and my wonders in the lande of Egypt.
4 Ka ʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Felo kiate kimoua, koeʻuhi ke u hili hoku nima ki ʻIsipite, ʻo ʻomi kituaʻā ʻeku ngaahi kautau, mo hoku kakai ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he ngaahi tautea lahi.
And Pharaoh shall not hearken vnto you, that I may lay mine hand vpon Egypt, and bring out myne armies, euen my people, the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by great iudgements.
5 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka mafao atu hoku nima ki ʻIsipite, ʻo ʻomi kituaʻā ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli meiate kinautolu.”
Then the Egyptians shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I stretch foorth mine hand vpon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate kinaua, ko ia ia ne na fai.
So Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, euen so did they.
7 Pea naʻe valungofulu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Mōsese, pea valungofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe tolu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻElone, ʻi heʻena lea kia Felo.
(Nowe Moses was foure score yeere olde, and Aaron foure score and three, when they spake vnto Pharaoh)
8 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehēange,
And the Lord had spoken vnto Moses and Aaron, saying,
9 ʻOka lea ʻa Felo kiate kimoua, ʻo pehē, “Fakahā mai haʻa mo mana: te ke lea ai kia ʻElone, Toʻo ho tokotoko, ʻo si ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e ngata.”
If Pharaoh speake vnto you, saying, Shewe a miracle for you, then thou shalt say vnto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shalbe turned into a serpent.
10 Pea naʻa na ō, ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo hoko atu kia Felo, pea ne na fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova: pea si hifo ʻe ʻElone hono tokotoko ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, mo e ʻao ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea hoko ia ko e ngata.
Then went Moses and Aaron vnto Pharaoh, and did euen as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh and before his seruants, and it was turned into a serpent.
11 Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe Felo ke haʻu foki ʻae kau tangata poto mo e kau kikite: pea ko eni, ko e kau fie mana ʻo ʻIsipite, naʻa nau fai pehē foki ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi ngāue fakalilolilo.
Then Pharaoh called also for the wise men and sorcerers: and those charmers also of Egypt did in like maner with their enchantmens,
12 He naʻa nau taki taha si ki lalo hono tokotoko, pea naʻe liliu ia ko e ngaahi ngata: ka ko e tokotoko ʻo ʻElone naʻa ne folo hifo ʻo ʻosi honau ngaahi tokotoko.
For they cast downe euery man his rod, and they were turned into serpents: but Aarons rodde deuoured their rods.
13 Pea ne fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga kiate kinautolu; ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
So Pharaohs heart was hardened, and hee hearkened not to them, as the Lord had saide.
14 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Kuo fefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, ʻoku ʻikai loto ia ke ʻalu ʻae kakai.
The Lord then saide vnto Moses, Pharaohs heart is obstinate, hee refuseth to let the people goe.
15 Ke ke ʻalu ʻapongipongi kia Felo; vakai, ʻoku ʻalu atu ia ki he vai; pea te ke tuʻu koe ʻo ofi ki he veʻe vai ko hono tali; pea ke ke toʻo ʻi ho nima ʻae tokotoko naʻe liliu ko e ngata.
Goe vnto Pharaoh in the morning, (loe, he will come forth vnto the water) and thou shalt stand and meete him by the riuers brinke, and the rod, which was turned into a serpent, shalt thou take in thine hand.
16 Pea te ke lea kiate ia, ‘Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai Hepelū kuo ne fekau au kiate koe, ke pehē, Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au ʻi he toafa: pea vakai, ʻoku teʻeki ai te ke tokanga ki ai.
And thou shalt say vnto him, The Lord God of the Ebrewes hath sent me vnto thee, saying, Let my people goe, that they may serue mee in the wildernesse: and beholde, hitherto thou wouldest not heare.
17 ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ʻi he meʻa ni te ke ʻilo ko au ko Sihova: vakai, teu tā ʻae vai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vaitafe, ʻaki ʻae tokotoko ʻoku ʻi hoku nima, pea ʻe liliu ia ko e toto.
Thus saith the Lord, In this shalt thou know that I am the Lord: behold, I wil smite with the rodde that is in mine hand vpon the water that is in the riuer, and it shalbe turned to blood.
18 Pea ko e ngaahi ika ʻoku ʻi he vaitafe, ʻe mate ia, pea ʻe namukū ʻae vaitafe: pea ʻe fakaliliʻa ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ke inu ʻae vai ʻi he vaitafe.’”
And the fish that is in the riuer shall dye, and the riuer shall stinke, and it shall grieue the Egyptians to drinke of the water of the riuer.
19 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, Tala kia ʻElone, “Toʻo ho tokotoko, mo ke mafao atu ho nima ki he ngaahi vai ʻo ʻIsipite, ki honau vaitafe siʻi mo e vai tafe lahi, ki he ngaahi luovai, mo e ngaahi anovai, koeʻuhi ke liliu ia ko e toto: koeʻuhi ke ai ʻae toto ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai ʻakau, mo e ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai maka.”
The Lord then spake to Moses, Say vnto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand ouer the waters of Egypt, ouer their streames, ouer their riuers, and ouer their pondes, and ouer all pooles of their waters, and they shalbe blood, and there shalbe blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and of stone.
20 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova: pea naʻa ne hiki hake ʻae tokotoko ʻo taaʻi ʻaki ʻae vai ʻi he vaitafe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, mo e ʻao ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki; pea naʻe liliu ʻae ngaahi vai kotoa pē ʻi he vaitafe ko e toto.
So Moses and Aaron did euen as the Lord commanded: and hee lift vp the rodde, and smote the water that was in the riuer in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his seruants: and all the water that was in the riuer, was turned into blood.
21 Pea naʻe mate ai ʻae ika naʻe ʻi he vaitafe; pea naʻe namukū ʻae vaitafe, pea ʻikai faʻa inu ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻae vai ʻoe vaitafe; pea naʻe ai ʻae toto ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
And the fish that was in the ryuer dyed, and the riuer stanke: so that the Egyptians could not drinke of the water of the riuer: and there was blood throughout all the lande of Egypt.
22 Pea naʻe fai pehē pe ʻe he kau fie mana ʻo ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi ngāue fakalilolilo: pea naʻe fefeka ai ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga kiate kinaua, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
And the enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their sorceries: and the heart of Phraoh was hardened: so that he did not hearken vnto them, as the Lord had sayde.
23 Pea foki atu ʻa Felo ʻo hū ki hono fale, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakatokangaʻi hono loto ki he meʻa ni.
Then Pharaoh returned, and went againe into his house, neither did this yet enter into his heart.
24 Pea naʻe keli ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē ʻo ofi ki he vaitafe ke maʻu ʻae vai ke inu; he naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa inu ʻae vai mei he vaitafe.
All the Egyptians then digged rounde about the riuer for waters to drinke: for they could not drinke of the water of the riuer.
25 Pea naʻe ʻosi ange ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu, hili hono taaʻi ʻae vai lahi ʻe Sihova.
And this continued fully seuen dayes after the Lord had smitten the riuer.
