< Exodus 8 >

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go that they may serve me.
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 thou shalt refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
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 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bed-chamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy ovens, and into thy kneading troughs:
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 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy 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 spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause 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 Aaron stretched his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
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 magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon 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 called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people: and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice 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 to Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee, and thy houses, [that] they may remain in the river only?
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, To-morrow. And he said, [Be it] according to thy word; that thou mayest know that [there is] none 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 shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
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 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried to the LORD, because of the frogs which he had brought against 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 according to the word of Moses: and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of 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 gathered them into heaps: and the land was offensive in smell.
Pea naʻa nau tānaki fakataha ia ki he ngaahi fokotuʻunga: pea naʻe namuhāhā ai ʻae fonua.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respit, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not 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, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout 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: for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout 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 magicians did so with their inchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man and upon 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 magicians said to Pharaoh, This [is] the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not 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, Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; (lo, he cometh forth to the water) and say to him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
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 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms [of flies] upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms [of flies], and also the ground on which they [are].
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 I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms [of flies] shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I [am] the LORD in the midst of 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 thy people: to-morrow shall this sign be.
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 there came a grievous swarm [of flies] into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm [of 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 called for Moses, and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God 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 meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: Lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
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 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God as he shall command us.
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 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat 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, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the Lord that the swarms [of flies] may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to-morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more, in not letting the people go to sacrifice 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 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD:
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Mōsese meia Felo, ʻo ne hū kia Sihova.
31 And 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.
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 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he 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.
