Pukaana 4

1 OLELO aku la o Mose, i aku la, Aia hoi; aole paha auanei lakou e manaoio mai ia'u, aole hoi e hoolohe mai i ko'u leo; no ka mea, e olelo auanei lakou, Aole i ikeia 'ku o Iehova e oe.

And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not listen to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to you), what shall I say to them?

2 I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Heaha kela mea ma kou lima? I aku la ia, He kookoo.

And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in your hand? and he said, A rod.

3 I mai la kela, E hoolei ia ilalo i ka honua. Hoolei iho la ia ilalo i ka honua, a lilo ae la ia i nahesa: a holo aku la o Mose mai kona maka aku.

And he said, Cast it on the ground: and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it.

4 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E kikoo aku kou lima, a e lalau aku ma kona huelo. Kikoo aku la kona lima a lalau iho la, a hoi hou ae la ia i kookoo ma kona lima.

And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,

5 Ilaila e manaoio ai lakou, ua ikea e oe o Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua hoi o Iakoba.

and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe you, that the God of your fathers has appeared to you, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.

6 Olelo hou mai la o Iehova ia ia, E hooholo oe i kou lima ma kou umauma iho. Hooholo ae la ia i kona lima ma kona umauma, a i kona unuhi ana mai, aia hoi, ua lepera ia e like me ka hau.

And the Lord said again to him, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.

7 I mai la oia, E hooholo hou ae oe i kou lima ma kou umauma. Hooholo hou i kona lima ma kona umauma, a unuhi hou mai, aia hoi, ua hoi hou ae la no e like me kekahi io ona.

And he said again, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of his [other] flesh.

8 A ina aole lakou e manaoio mai ia oe, aole hoi e hoolohe mai i ka leo o ka hoailona mua, e manaoio paha lakou i ka leo o ka hoailona hope.

And if they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you [because] of the voice of the second sign.

9 A ina aole lakou e manaoio mai i keia mau hoailona elua, aole hoi e hoolohe i kou leo, alaila e lawe ae oe i kahi wai o ka muliwai, a e ninini ma kahi maloo, a e lilo auanei ka wai au e lawe ai mailoko mai o ka muliwai, i koko ma kahi maloo.

And it shall come to pass if they will not believe you for these two signs, and will not listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which you shall take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.

10 I aku la o Mose ia Iehova, E kun Haku e, he kanaka akamai ole wau i ka olelo, aole mamua mai a hiki i keia wa au e olelo mai ai i kau kauwa nei, he kali ko'u waha, a he kali hoi ko'u elelo.

And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that you have begun to speak to your servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.

11 I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Nawai i hana ka waha o ke kanaka? Nawai hoi i hana i ka aa, a me ke kuli, a me ka ike, a me ka makapo? Aole anei na'u, na Iehova?

And the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?

12 Nolaila, o hele, a owau pu no me kou waha, e ao aku ana ia oe i ka mea au e olelo aku ai.

And now go and I will open your mouth, and will instruct you in what you shall say.

13 I aku la ia, E kuu Haku e, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoouna aku oe ma ka lima o ka mea au e hoouna aku ai.

And Moses said, I pray you, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom you shall send.

14 Wela mai la ka inaina o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la kela, Aole anei ke kaikuaana ou o Aarona ka Levi? Ua ike no au e hiki no ia ia ke olelo; aia hoi ke hele mai nei ia e halawai me oe: aia ike mai kela ia oe, e olioli auanei oia ma kona naau.

And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Behold! is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he will surely speak to you; and, behold, he will come forth to meet you, and beholding you he will rejoice within himself.

15 Nau e olelo aku ia ia, a e waiho aku i na hua ma kona waha; a owau pu no me kou waha, a me kona waha, a e ao aku ia olua i ka olua mea e hana'i.

And you shall speak to him; and you shall put my words into his mouth, and I will open your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you shall do.

16 A oia no kou mea nana e olelo aku i na kanaka: a e lilo no oia i waha nou, a o oe hoi nona e like me ke Akua.

And he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be for him in things pertaining to God.

17 E lawe pu aku oe i keia kookoo maloko o kou lima, i mea e hana aku ai i na hoailona.

And this rod that was turned into a serpent you shall take in your hand, wherewith you shall work miracles.

18 Alaila hele aku la o Mose a hoi aku la io Ietero la i kona makuahonowaikane, i aku la ia ia, E hele paha au, a hoi hou i o'u poe hoahanau aia ma Aigupita, i ike ai au i ko iakou ola ana. I mai la o Ietero ia Mose, O hele oe me ka maluhia.

And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.

19 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose ma Midiana, E hele oe, a e hoi hou i Aigupita, no ka mea, ua make na kanaka a pau, ka poe i imi e lawe i kou ola.

And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought your life are dead.

20 Lawe ae la o Mose i kana wahine, a me kana mau keikikane, a hoonoho aku la ia lakou maluna o ka hoki, a hoi aku la ia i ka aina o Aigupita. A lawe pu aku la o Mose i ke kookoo o ke Akua maloko o kona lima.

And Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from God in his hand.

21 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, I kou hele ana aku e hoi i Aigupita, e ao oe, e hana aku imua o Parao i na hana mana a pau a'u i waiho ai maloko o kou lima: a na'u no e hoopaakiki i kona naau, i hookuu ole ai ia i na kanaka.

And the Lord said to Moses, When you go and return to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged you with, you shall work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.

22 E olelo aku oe ia Parao, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, O Iseraela no ka'u keikikane, o ka'u hiapo hoi;

And you shall say to Pharao, These things says the Lord, Israel [is] my firstborn.

23 Ke olelo aku nei au ia oe, E hookuu oe i ka'u keiki, i malama mai ia ia'u: a ina e hoole mai oe i kona hookuuia, aia hoi, e pepehi aku no au i kau keikikane, i kau hiapo hoi.

And I said to you, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if you will not send them away, see, I will kill your firstborn son.

24 A hiki mai hoi ia ma ke ala, maloko o ka halekipa, halawai mai la o Iehova me ia, a imi iho la e pepehi ia ia.

And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to kill him.

25 Lalau aku la o Zipora i pahi, a okipoepoe iho la i ka omaka o kana keikikane, a hoolei iho la ma kona mau wawae, i mai la, He kane koko oe na'u.

and Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:

26 Hookuu iho la oia ia ia. Alaila olelo ae la ia, He kane koko oe no ke okipoepoe ana.

and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.

27 I mai la o Iehova ia Aarona, E hele oe e halawai me Mose ma ka waonahele. Hele aku la ia, a halawai iho la ma ke kuahiwi o ke Akua, a honi ae la ia ia.

And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses; and he went and met him in the mount of God, and they kissed each other.

28 Hai ae la o Mose ia Aarona i na olelo a pau a Iehova, nana ia i hoouna mai, a me na ouli a pau ana i kauoha mai ai ia ia.

And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.

29 Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona, hoakoakoa iho la laua i na lunakahiko a pau o na mamo a Iseraela.

And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.

30 Hai aku la o Aarona i na olelo a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Mose; a hana iho la ia i na ouli imua o na maka o kanaka.

And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.

31 Manaoio iho la no hoi na kanaka: a lohe pono no lakou, ua ike mai o Iehova i ka poe mamo a Iseraela, a ua nana mai hoi oia i ko lakou popilikia, alaila kulou iho la ko lakou poo, a hoomana aku la.

and the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.
