Exodus 8

1 And this is what the Lord said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh and say to him, The Lord says, Let my people go so that they may give me worship.

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.

2 And if you will not let them go, see, I will send frogs into every part of your land:

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

3 The Nile will be full of frogs, and they will come up into your house and into your bedrooms and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and into your bread-basins.

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:

4 The frogs will come up over you and your people and all your servants.

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

5 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the streams and the waterways and the pools, causing frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

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.”

6 And when Aaron put out his hand over the waters of Egypt, the frogs came up and all the land of Egypt was covered with them.

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,

7 And the wonder-workers did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up over the land of Egypt.

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

8 Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Make prayer to the Lord that he will take away these frogs from me and my people; and I will let the people go and make their offering to the Lord.

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.”

9 And Moses said, I will let you have the honour of saying when I am to make prayer for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs may be sent away from you and your houses, and be only in the Nile.

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?”

10 And he said, By tomorrow. And he said, Let it be as you say: so that you may see that there is no other like the Lord our God.

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.

11 And the frogs will be gone from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people and will be only in the Nile.

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.”

12 Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses made prayer to the Lord about the frogs which he had sent on Pharaoh.

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.

13 And the Lord did as Moses said; and there was an end of all the frogs in the houses and in the open spaces and in the fields.

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.

14 And they put them together in masses, and a bad smell went up from the land.

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

15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

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.

16 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt.

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.”

17 And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.

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.

18 And the wonder-workers with their secret arts, attempting to make insects, were unable to do so: and there were insects on man and on beast.

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.

19 Then the wonder-workers said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: but Pharaoh's heart was hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

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.

20 And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh when he comes out to the water; and say to him, This is what the Lord says: Let my people go to give me worship.

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.

21 For if you do not let my people go, see, I will send clouds of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into their houses; and the houses of the Egyptians and the land where they are will be full of flies.

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.

22 And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.

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.

23 And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen.

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

24 And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses, and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.

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.

25 And Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Go and make your offering to your God here in the land.

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

26 And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes, certainly we will be stoned.

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?

27 But we will go three days' journey into the waste land and make an offering to the Lord our God as he may give us orders.

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.”

28 Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.

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.”

29 And Moses said, When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow: only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord.

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.”

30 Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.

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

31 And the Lord did as Moses said, and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen.

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.

32 But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go.

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