Exodus 10
1 And the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart, and that of his servants, so that I may accomplish these, my signs, in him,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu kia Felo: he kuo u fakafefeka hono loto, mo e loto ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fakaʻilonga ni ʻi hono ʻao:
2 and so that you may describe to the ears of your sons and your grandsons how often I opposed the Egyptians and wrought my signs among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
Pea koeʻuhi ke ke tala ʻi he telinga ʻo ho foha, mo e fānau ʻa ho foha, ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo u fai ʻi ʻIsipite, mo ʻeku ngaahi fakaʻilonga, ʻaia kuo u fai ʻi honau ʻao koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.”
3 Therefore, Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they said to him: “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long will you be unwilling to be subject to me? Release my people to sacrifice to me.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone kia Felo, ʻo na pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ‘ʻE tuku afe hoʻo taʻefakavaivai koe ʻi hoku ʻao? Tuku hoku kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au.’
4 But if you resist, and you are unwilling to release them, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your borders.
Pea kapau te ke taʻofi ʻae tukuange ʻo hoku kakai, vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae fanga heʻe ki ho fonua ʻapongipongi:
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, lest any part of it be seen. Yes, and what remains from the hail shall be eaten. For they will gnaw away all the trees that spring up in the fields.
Pea te nau ʻufiʻufi ʻae funga ʻoe fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa mamata ʻe ha tokotaha ki he kelekele: pea te nau kai ʻo ʻosi hono toe ʻo ia naʻe hao, ʻaia naʻe toe ʻiate kimoutolu mei he ʻuha maka, pea te nau kai ʻae ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku tupu ʻi he ngoue kiate kimoutolu:
6 And they will fill your houses, and those of your servants and of all the Egyptians: so many as your fathers and ancestors have not seen, from the time that they rose up over the earth, even until this present day.” And he turned himself away, and he departed from Pharaoh.
Pea te nau fakapito ho ngaahi fale, mo e ngaahi fale ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e ngaahi fale ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē; ʻaia naʻe ʻikai mamata ai ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tamai, pe ko e nau ngaahi kui, talu ʻae ʻaho naʻa nau ʻi he fonua ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe tafoki ia ʻo ʻalu mei he ʻao ʻo Felo.”
7 Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: “How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?”
Pea pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Felo kiate ia, “ʻE fēfeeʻi hono fuoloa mo e kei ʻiate kitautolu ʻae tangata ni ko e tauhele? Tuku ʻae kau tangata ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua: ʻoku teʻeki ai te ke ʻilo kuo ʻauha ʻa ʻIsipite?”
8 And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, who said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God. Who are they who would go?”
Pea naʻe toe omi ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone kia Felo: pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻAlu ʻo tauhi ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua: ka ko hai ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻalu?
9 Moses said: “We will travel with our little ones and our elderly, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds. For it is a solemnity of the Lord our God.”
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, Te mau ʻalu mo e mau fānau siʻi mo e mau mātuʻa, mo homau ngaahi foha, mo homau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻa ʻemau fanga sipi mo ʻemau fanga manu lalahi: he ʻoku tonu ke mau fai ha kātoanga kia Sihova.”
10 And Pharaoh responded: “So let the Lord be with you. But if I were to release you and your little ones, who would doubt that you intend some great wickedness?
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ke ʻiate kimoutolu pehē pe ʻa Sihova, ʻo kapau te u tuku ʻakimoutolu ke ʻalu mo hoʻomou fānau iiki: vakai ki ai; he ʻoku ʻi homou ʻao ʻae kovi.”
11 It will not be so. However, go only with the men, and sacrifice to the Lord. For this, too, is what you yourselves requested.” And immediately they were cast out from the sight of Pharaoh.
“ʻE ʻikai pehē: ka e ʻalu pe ʻakimoutolu ʻoku tangata, pea tauhi ʻa Sihova; he ko ia ne mou kole ki ai.” Pea naʻe kapusi ai ʻakinaua mei he ʻao ʻo Felo.
12 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt, toward the locusts, so that they may rise up over it, and devour every plant which remains from the hail.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Mafao atu ho nima ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite ki he fanga heʻe, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻalu hake ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo kai ʻae ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻio, ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe hao ʻi he ʻuha maka.”
13 And Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt. And the Lord brought a burning wind all that day and night. And when morning came, the burning wind lifted up the locusts.
Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻae tokotoko ʻo Mōsese, ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae matangi hahake ki he fonua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, pea mo e pō kotoa ko ia; pea kuo pongipongi ai, naʻe ʻomi ʻe he matangi hahake ʻae fanga heʻe.
14 And they ascended over the entire land of Egypt. And they settled into all the parts of the Egyptians: innumerable, such as had not been before that time, nor ever would be thereafter.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fanga heʻe ki he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite; ko e meʻa fakamamahi ʻaupito: naʻe ʻikai ha fanga heʻe pehē ʻi muʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai ha toe heʻe pehē ʻamui.
15 And they covered the entire face of the land, laying waste to all things. And the plants of the land were devoured, along with whatever fruits were on the trees, which the hail had left behind. And nothing at all of the greenery remained on the trees or on the plants of the earth in all of Egypt.
He naʻa nau ʻufiʻufi ʻae funga fonua kotoa pē, ko ia naʻe fakapoʻuli ai ʻae fonua: pea naʻe kai ʻae ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo e fua kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau naʻe toe ʻi he ʻuha maka: pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa mata ʻe toe ʻi he ngaahi ʻakau pe ʻi he ngaahi louʻakau ʻoe ngoue, ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
16 For this reason, Pharaoh hurriedly called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
Pea naʻe fekau fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe Felo ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone; ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo u fai angahala kia Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua, pea mo kimoua.
17 But now, release me from my sin even this time, and petition the Lord your God, so that he may take this death away from me.”
Pea ko ʻeni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, fakamolemole ʻeku angahala ʻi he meʻa ni pe taha, pea fakakolekole kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻave pe ʻiate au ʻae mate ni.”
18 And Moses, departing from the sight of Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo hū kia Sihova.
19 And he caused a very strong wind to blow from the west, and, seizing the locusts, it cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not so much as one in all the parts of Egypt.
Pea liliu ʻe Sihova ʻae fuʻu matangi mālohi mei lulunga, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻave ʻae fanga heʻe, ʻo lī ia ki he tahi Kulokula; naʻe ʻikai ke toe ha heʻe ʻe taha ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
20 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel.
Ka naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu.
21 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky. And let there be a darkness over the land of Egypt, so dense that they may be able to feel it.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Mafao hake ho nima ki langi, koeʻuhi he hoko ai ʻae fakapoʻuli ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻio, ʻae poʻuli matolu.”
22 And Moses extended his hand into the sky. And there came a horrible darkness in the entire land of Egypt for three days.
Pea naʻe mafao hake hono nima ʻe Mōsese ki langi; pea hoko ʻae poʻuli matolu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu:
23 No one saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was. But wherever the sons of Israel were living, there was light.
Naʻe ʻikai te nau femātaaki ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai tuʻu hake ha tokotaha mei hono potu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu: ka naʻe māmangia ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi nofoʻanga.
24 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord. Only let your sheep and herds remain behind. Your little ones may go with you.”
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Felo kia Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou ʻalu, ʻo tauhi ʻa Sihova: kae tuku hoʻomou fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu lalahi; kae ʻalu hoʻomou ngaahi fānau siʻi mo kimoutolu.”
25 Moses said: “You must also permit us victims and holocausts, which we may offer to the Lord our God.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Ka te ke tuku mai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau foki mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu, koeʻuhi ke mau feilaulau ʻaki kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua.
26 All the flocks shall travel with us. Not one hoof of them shall remain behind. For they are necessary for the worship of the Lord our God, especially since we do not know what ought to be immolated, until we arrive at the very place.”
ʻE ʻalu ʻemau fanga manu mo kimautolu ʻe ʻikai tuku ki mui ha pesipesi pe taha koeʻuhi te mau toʻo mei ai ʻaia te mau tauhi ʻaki ʻa Sihova ko homau ʻOtua: pea ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo pau, ʻaia te mau tauhi ʻaki ʻa Sihova, kaeʻoua ke mau hoko ki ai.”
27 But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to release them.
Ka naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu.
28 And Pharaoh said to Moses: “Withdraw from me, and beware that you no longer see my face. On whatever day you will appear in my sight, you shall die.”
Pea talaange ʻe Felo kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe ʻiate au, vakai kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke toe sio ki hoku mata; he ko e ʻaho ko ia te ke mamata ai ki hoku mata te ke mate.”
29 Moses responded: “So be it, just as you have said. I will no longer see your face.”
Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Kuo ke lea lelei, ʻe ʻikai te u toe mamata ki ho mata.”
