ʻEkisotosi 8

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu kia Felo mo ke tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au.

The LORD spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, "This is what the LORD says, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu, vakai, Te u taaʻi ho ngaahi potu fonua kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae fanga poto:

If you refuse to let them go, look, I will plague all your borders with frogs:

3 Pea ʻe tupu ʻi he vaitafe ʻae fanga poto ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ʻaia te nau ʻalu hake ʻo hoko ki ho fale, pea ki ho potu mohe, pea ki ho mohenga, pea ki he fale ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ki hoʻo kakai, pea ki hoʻo ngaahi ngotoʻumu, pea ki hoʻo ngaahi natuʻanga ma:

and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:

4 Pea ʻe haʻu ʻae fanga poto ʻo hoko kiate koe, pea ki ho kakai, pea ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.”

and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.'"

5 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tala kia ʻElone, Mafao atu ho nima, mo hoʻo tokotoko ki he ngaahi vaitafe siʻi mo e vai tafe lahi, mo e ngaahi luo vai, koeʻuhi ke haʻu ai ʻae fanga poto ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”

The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, 'Stretch forth your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"

6 Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe ʻElone hono nima ki he ngaahi vai ʻo ʻIsipite; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fanga poto ʻo ʻufiʻufi ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite,

Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

7 Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he kau fie mana ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi ngāue fakalilolilo, ʻonau ʻomi ʻae fanga poto ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

The magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

8 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Felo ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē, “Mo kole kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻave ʻiate au mo hoku kakai ʻae fanga poto: pea te u tukuange ʻae kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova.”

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Pray to the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD."

9 Pea pehēange ʻe Mōsese kia Felo, “Ke ke fekau kiate au, pe te u fai fakakū ʻae hū, koeʻuhi ko koe, mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo ho kakai, ke fakaʻauha ʻae fanga poto meiate koe mo ho ngaahi fale koeʻuhi ke nau nofo pe ki he vaitafe?”

Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only."

10 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻApongipongi.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke hoko ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea: koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ai ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku hangē ko Sihova ko homau ʻOtua.

He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like the LORD our God.

11 Pea ʻe ʻalu meiate koe ʻae fanga poto, pea mei ho ngaahi fale, pea mei hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mei ho kakai: te nau nofo pe ʻi he vaitafe.”

The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."

12 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone mei he ʻao ʻo Felo: pea naʻe tangi ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova ko e meʻa ʻi he fanga poto, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi kia Felo.

Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.

13 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa Mōsese; pea naʻe mate ai ʻae fanga poto mei he ngaahi fale, mo e ngaahi potu kakai, pea mei he ngaahi ngoue.

The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.

14 Pea naʻa nau tānaki fakataha ia ki he ngaahi fokotuʻunga: pea naʻe namuhāhā ai ʻae fonua.

They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

15 Pea kuo mamata ʻa Felo ʻoku ai ʻae fiefiemālie, naʻa ne fakafefeka ʻa hono loto, ʻo ne taʻetokanga kiate kinaua; ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.

16 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tala kia ʻElone, Mafao atu ho tokotoko, ʻo taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae efu ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko e fanga kutu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.”

The LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your hand with your staff, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'"

17 Pea naʻa na fai ia; he naʻe mafao atu ʻe ʻElone hono nima mo e tokotoko, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae efu ʻoe kelekele, pea naʻe liliu ia ko e kutu ʻi he tangata mo e manu; ko e efu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua naʻe hoko ia ko e fanga kutu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.

They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

18 Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kau fie mana ke fakatupu ʻae kutu ʻaki ʻenau ngāue fakalilolilo ka naʻe ʻikai te nau lavaʻi: pea naʻe ai ʻae kutu ʻi he tangata mo e manu.

The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal.

19 Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau fie mana kia Felo, “Ko e louhiʻi nima eni ʻoe ʻOtua:” ka kuo fefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga ia kiate kinaua; ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as the LORD had spoken.

20 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻapongipongi, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo; vakai, ʻoku haʻu ia ki he vai; ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ‘Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au.

The LORD said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; look, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what the LORD says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me.

21 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tukuange hoku kakai, vakai, te u fekau ʻae ngaahi fuifui lango kehekehe kiate koe, pea ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ki ho kakai, pea ki ho ngaahi fale: pea ko e ngaahi fale ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite ʻe fonu ʻi he ngaahi fuifui lango, pea mo e kelekele foki ʻoku nau tuʻu ai.

Else, if you will not let my people go, look, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.

22 Pea te u vaheʻi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae fonua ko Koseni, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ai hoku kakai, ʻe ʻikai ha fuifui lango ʻi ai; koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ai ko au ko Sihova ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo māmani.

I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.

23 Pea te u ʻai ʻae vahaʻa ʻi hoku kakai mo ho kakai: ʻe hoko ʻapongipongi ʻae fakaʻilonga ni.’”

I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be."'"

24 Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Sihova: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fuifui lango fakamamahi ki he fale ʻo Felo, mo e ngaahi fale ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite: pea naʻe maumau ʻae fonua ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi fuifui lango.

The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.

25 Pea fekau ʻe Felo ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē, “Mo ō, ʻo feilaulau ki homou ʻOtua ʻi he fonua.”

Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land."

26 Pea talaange ʻe Mōsese, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke fai pehē: he te mau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻoku fakaliliʻa ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua: vakai, kapau te mau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻoku fakaliliʻa ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻi honau ʻao, pea ʻikai te nau tolongi ʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻae maka?

Moses said, "It isn't appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Look, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won't they stone us?

27 Te mau ʻalu ko e fonongaʻanga ʻoe ʻaho ʻe tolu ki he toafa, ke feilaulau kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau kiate kimautolu.”

We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us."

28 Pea pehē ʻe Felo, “Te u tuku ke mou ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke mou feilaulau kia Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua ʻi he toafa: ka ʻe ʻikai te mou ʻalu mamaʻo atu: ko ia mou hūfia au.”

Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me."

29 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻalu meiate koe, pea te u hū kia Sihova koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ʻae ngaahi fuifui lango ia Felo, pea mei heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mei hono kakai ʻapongipongi: kaeʻoua naʻa toe fai fakakākā ʻe Felo ʻi he taʻofi ʻae kakai ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu ke feilaulau kia Sihova.”

Moses said, "Look, I go out from you, and I will pray to God that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."

30 Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Mōsese meia Felo, ʻo ne hū kia Sihova.

Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.

31 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa Mōsese: ʻo ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi fuifui lango meia Felo, pea mei heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mei hono kakai; naʻe ʻikai kei toe ha taha.

The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.

32 Pea naʻe fakafefeka hono loto ʻe Felo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia foki, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae kakai ke ʻalu.

Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
