Ekoruhe 8

1 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere ki a Parao, mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tukua taku iwi kia haere, kia mahi ratou ki ahau.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 A ki te kore koe e rongo ki te tuku i a ratou, na, ka patua e ahau ou rohe katoa ki te poroka.

And if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your borders with frogs:

3 A ka ngahuehue ake te poroka i te awa, ka tae ratou ki tou whare, ki tou whare moenga, ki runga hoki ki tou moenga, ki roto hoki ki te whare o ou tangata, ki runga hoki ki tou iwi, ki roto ki au oumu, ki roto hoki ki au pokepokenga paraoa:

And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, 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 A e haere ake te poroka ki runga ki a koe, ki runga ki tou iwi, ki runga hoki ki ou tangata katoa.

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

5 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Mea atu ki a Arona, Totoro tou ringa, me tau tokotoko, ki nga wai e rere ana, ki nga awa, ki nga roto, kia haere ake ai nga poroka ki te whenua o Ihipa.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth your hand with your rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

6 A ka totoro atu te ringa o Arona ki nga wai o Ihipa; na kua puta ake te poroka, a kapi ana te whenua o Ihipa.

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

7 A i peratia ano e nga tohunga ki a ratou karakia maori, a whakaputaina ake ana e ratou te poroka ki te whenua o Ihipa.

And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

8 Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea, Inoi atu ki a Ihowa, kia tangohia e ia nga poroka i ahau, i toku iwi hoki; a ka tuku ahau i te iwi ki te mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa.

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.

9 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a Parao, Kia whakanuia ake koe i ahau; ahea inoi ai ahau mou, mo ou tangata, mo tou iwi hoki, kia whakakahoretia atu nga poroka i a koe, i ou whare ano hoki, kia toe ki te awa anake?

And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I entreat for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only?

10 A ka mea ia, Hei apopo. Na ka mea ia, Kia rite ki tau na, kia mohio ai koe kahore tetahi e rite ana ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua.

And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to your word: that you may know that there is none like to the LORD our God.

11 A ka mawehe atu i a koe nga poroka, i ou whare hoki, i ou tangata, i tou iwi ano hoki; a e toe ki te awa anake.

And 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 Na ka haere atu a Mohi raua ko Arona i a Parao: a ka karanga a Mohi ki a Ihowa, mo nga poroka i whakamuia ake e ia ki a Parao.

And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried to the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.

13 A peratia ana e Ihowa me ta Mohi i mea ai; na ka mate atu nga poroka i nga whare, i nga kainga, i nga mara ano hoki.

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.

14 A apoapohia ana e ratou, puranga atu, puranga atu: a, piro ana te whenua.

And they gathered them together on heaps: and the land stank.

15 Otira i te kitenga o Parao ka whai taanga manawa, ka whakapakeke ano i tona ngakau, kahore hoki i rongo ki a raua; ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and listened not to them; as the LORD had said.

16 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Mea atu ki a Arona, Totoro tau tokotoko, patua te puehu o te whenua, kia kutu ai ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa.

And the LORD said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

17 A pera ana raua; ko te toronga atu o te ringa o Arona me tana tokotoko, patua ana te puehu o te whenua, a ka meinga hei kutu ki te tangata, ki te kararehe; he kutu kau te puehu katoa o te oneone, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.

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.

18 A pera ana ano nga tohunga ki a ratou mahi maori, kia puta ai te kutu; kihai ia i taea e ratou; a muia ana te tangata me te kararehe e te kutu.

And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice on man, and on beast.

19 Na ka mea nga tohunga ki a Parao, Na te matikara o te Atua tenei: a ka whakapakeketia te ngakau o Parao, kihai hoki ia i rongo ki a raua: ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai.

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he listened not to them; as the LORD had said.

20 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Maranga wawe i te ata, e tu ki te aroaro o Parao; na, e haere ana ia ki te wai; mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Tukua taku iwi ki te mahi ki ahau.

And the LORD said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; see, he comes forth to the water; and say to him, Thus says the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

21 A ki te kahore koe e tuku i taku iwi, na, ka tukua atu e ahau nga pokai namu ki a koe, ki ou tangata, ki tou iwi, ki ou whare; e ki hoki nga whare o nga Ihipiana i nga pokai namu, me te whenua e noho nei ratou.

Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, 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 where on they are.

22 A ka wehea atu e ahau i taua ra te whenua o Kohena, e noho nei taku iwi, kei whai pokai namu a reira; kia mohio ai koe ko Ihowa ahau i waenganui o te whenua.

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 you may know that I am the LORD in the middle of the earth.

23 Ka whakatakoto arai ano ahau ki waenganui o taku iwi, o tou iwi: ko apopo tenei tohu meatia ai.

And I will put a division between my people and your people: to morrow shall this sign be.

24 A pera ana a Ihowa; na kua tae mai nga pokai namu, tona nanakia ra, ki te whare o Parao, ki nga whare o ana tangata, ki te whenua katoa ano hoki o Ihipa; a ngaro ana te whenua i te huihuinga namu.

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.

25 Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, ka mea, Haere, meatia he patunga tapu ki to koutou Atua, ki te whenua nei.

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

26 Na ka mea a Mohi, E kore e pai kia pena; ka patua hoki e matou ma Ihowa, ma to matou Atua, ta nga Ihipiana e morikarika ai: na, ki te patua e matou ki to ratou aroaro nga mea e morikarika ai nga Ihipiana, e kore ranei ratou e aki i a matou ki te kohatu?

And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: see, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?

27 Ka haere matou ki te koraha, kia toru nga ra ki te ara, ka mea patunga tapu ai ki a Ihowa, ki to matou Atua, ka pera ai me tana e ako ai ki a matou.

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

28 Na ka mea a Parao, Ka tukua koutou ki te mea patunga tapu ma Ihowa, ma to koutou Atua, ki te koraha; otiia aua e haere rawa ki tawhiti: inoi korua moku.

And 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: entreat for me.

29 A ka mea a Mohi, Nana, ka mawehe atu ahau i a koe, ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa kia turere atu nga pokai namu i a Parao, i ona tangata, i tona iwi apopo; otiia kaua a Parao e tinihanga ano, a kore ake e tuku i te iwi ki te mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa.

And Moses said, Behold, I go out from you, 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.

30 Na, ka mawehe a Mohi i a Parao, a ka inoi ki a Ihowa.

And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.

31 A peratia ana e Ihowa me ta Mohi i mea ai; i mea ia i nga pokai namu kia rere atu i a Parao, i ona tangata, i tona iwi: kihai i toe tetahi.

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.

32 Na ka whakapakeke ano a Parao i tona ngakau i taua taima hoki, a kihai i tuku i te iwi.

And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
