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.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is 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 — thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel 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.
'And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land 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 doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;
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.”
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.'
6 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate kinaua, ko ia ia ne na fai.
And Moses doth — Aaron also — as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;
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.
and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.
8 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehēange,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto 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.”
'When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh — it becometh a monster.'
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.
And Moses goeth in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.
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.
And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers; and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do so,
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.
and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters, and the rod of Aaron swalloweth 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.
and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.
14 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Kuo fefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, ʻoku ʻikai loto ia ke ʻalu ʻae kakai.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'The heart of Pharaoh hath been hard, he hath refused to send the people away;
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.
go unto Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he is going out to the water, and thou hast stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou dost take in thy 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 hast said unto him: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and lo, thou hast not hearkened hitherto.
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 said Jehovah: By this thou knowest that I [am] Jehovah; lo, I am smiting with the rod which [is] in my hand, on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been 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 [are] in the River die, and the River hath stank, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters from the River.'
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.”
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood — and there hath been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those 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.
And Moses and Aaron do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and he lifteth up [his hand] with the rod, and smiteth the waters which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are] in the River are turned to 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 which [is] in the River hath died, and the River stinketh, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land 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 scribes of Egypt do so with their flashings, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken,
23 Pea foki atu ʻa Felo ʻo hū ki hono fale, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakatokangaʻi hono loto ki he meʻa ni.
and Pharaoh turneth and goeth in unto his house, and hath not set his heart even to this;
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.
and all the Egyptians seek water round about the river to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.
25 Pea naʻe ʻosi ange ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu, hili hono taaʻi ʻae vai lahi ʻe Sihova.
And seven days are completed after Jehovah's smiting the River,
