Exodus 6

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Now you will see what I am about to do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand he will be forced to let them go, driving them out of his land because of my outstretched arm.

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.”

2 And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh:

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

3 I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

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.

4 And I made an agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their wanderings.

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.

5 And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke; and I have kept in mind my agreement.

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.

6 Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.

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:

7 And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God; and you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, who takes you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

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.

8 And I will be your guide into the land which I made an oath to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for your heritage: I am Yahweh.

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.’”

9 And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, but they gave no attention to him, because of the grief of their spirit and the cruel weight of their work.

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.

10 And the Lord said to Moses,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

11 Go in and say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he is to let the children of Israel go out of his land.

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

12 And Moses, answering the Lord, said, See, the children of Israel will not give ear to me; how then will Pharaoh give ear to me, whose lips are unclean?

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?”

13 And the word of the Lord came to Moses and Aaron, with orders for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

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.”

14 These are the heads of their fathers' families: the sons of Reuben the oldest son of Israel: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi: these are the families of Reuben.

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.

15 And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan: these are the families of Simeon.

Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Simione; ko Semueli, mo Samini, mo ʻOhati, mo Sakini mo Sohali, mo Saula, ko e tama ʻae fefine Kēnani: ko e ngaahi faʻahinga eni ʻo Simione.

16 And these are the names of the sons of Levi in the order of their generations: Gershon and Kohath and Merari: and the years of Levi's life were a hundred and thirty-seven.

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.

17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, in the order of their families.

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

18 And the sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel: and the years of Kohath's life were a hundred and thirty-three.

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.

19 And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi: these are the families of the Levites, in the order of their generations.

Pea ko e ongo foha ʻo Melali; ko Mali mo Musi: ko e ngaahi faʻahinga eni ʻo Livai ʻi honau ngaahi toʻutangata.

20 And Amram took Jochebed, his father's sister, as wife; and she gave birth to Aaron and Moses: and the years of Amram's life were a hundred and thirty-seven.

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.

21 And the sons of Izhar: Korah and Nepheg and Zichri.

Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsa: ko Kola, mo Nefaki, mo Sikili.

22 And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael and Elzaphan and Sithri.

Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻUsili; ko Miseli, mo ʻElisefani, mo Sitili.

23 And Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon; and she gave birth to Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

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.

24 And the sons of Korah: Assir and Elkanah and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korahites.

Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Kola; ko ʻAsili, mo ʻElikena, mo ʻApiasafi: ko e ngaahi faʻahinga eni ʻo Kola.

25 And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel; and she gave birth to Phinehas. These are the heads of the families of the Levites, in the order of their families.

Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ʻae tokotaha ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Piuteli ʻo na mali: pea ne fanauʻi kiate ia ʻa Finiasi: ko ʻeni ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻoe kau Livai ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.

26 These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, Take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt in their armies.

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.

27 These are the men who gave orders to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of Egypt: these are the same Moses and Aaron.

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.”

28 And on the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses in the land of Egypt,

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

29 The Lord said to Moses, I am the Lord: say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything I am saying to you.

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.”

30 And Moses said to the Lord, My lips are unclean; how is it possible that Pharaoh will give me a hearing?

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