Exodus 7
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen [carefully]. [Just like I enabled prophet to speak my messages], I will cause the king [to consider that] you are like a god, and that Aaron is like a prophet.
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Na, kua oti koe te mea e ahau hei atua ki a Parao; ko Arona hoki, ko tou tuakana, hei poropiti mau.
2 You must tell everything I command you [to tell to your older] brother Aaron, and he will tell that to the king. He must tell the king to let the Israeli people leave his land.
Korerotia nga mea katoa e ki ai ahau ki a koe; a ma Arona, ma tou tuakana, e korero ki a Parao, kia tukua e ia nga tama a Iharaira i tona whenua.
3 But I will make the king stubborn [IDM]. As a result, even though I perform many kinds of (miracles/terrifying things) [DOU] [here] in Egypt,
A maku e whakapakeke te ngakau o Parao, e whakamaha hoki aku tohu me aku merekara ki te whenua o Ihipa.
4 the king will not pay any attention to what you say. Then I will punish [MTY] the people of Egypt [MTY] very severely [MTY], and I will lead/bring the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Otiia e kore a Parao e rongo ki a korua, a ka pa toku ringa ki Ihipa, he nui ano hoki nga whakawa e whakaputaina ai e ahau aku mano tini, taku iwi, nga tama a Iharaira, i te whenua o Ihipa.
5 Then, when I show my great power [MTY] to the Egyptian people and bring the Israeli people out from among them, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
A e mohio nga Ihipiana ko Ihowa ahau, ina totoro toku ringa ki Ihipa, a ka whakaputaina mai e ahau nga tama a Iharaira i roto i a ratou.
6 Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh told them/us to do. They/We [went and spoke to the king].
I mea ano a Mohi raua ko Arona i ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a raua, pera ana raua.
7 At that time, Moses/I was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 years old.
A e waru tekau nga tau o Mohi, e waru tekau ma toru nga tau o Arona, i ta raua korerotanga ki a Parao.
8 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
9 “If the king says to you, ‘Prove [that God sent] you by performing a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Throw your stick down in front of the king, in order that it may become a snake.’”
Ki te puta ki a korua ta Parao kupu, Tena koa, tetahi merekara i a korua; ko reira koe mea ai ki a Arona, E mau ki tau tokotoko, maka iho ki te aroaro o Parao, a ka nakahi.
10 So Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and did what Yahweh had commanded [them/us to do]. Aaron threw his stick down in front of the king and his officials, and it became a snake.
Na ka haere a Mohi raua ko Arona ki a Parao, a peratia ana e raua me ta Ihowa i mea ai: maka iho ana e Arona tona tokotoko ki te aroaro o Parao, ki te aroaro hoki o ana tangata, na, kua nakahi.
11 Then the king summoned his sorcerers and men who performed magic. They did the same thing, using their magic.
Na ka karanga hoki a Parao i nga tangata mohio, i nga tohunga maori: na, ko ratou, ko nga tohunga o Ihipa, i pera ano ratou ki a ratou nei karakia maori.
12 They all threw down their sticks, and they became snakes. But Aaron’s stick, [which had become a snake], swallowed up all their sticks!
Maka iho ana hoki e tenei, e tenei, a ratou tokotoko, a nakahi ana: otiia i horomia a ratou tokotoko e te tokotoko a Arona.
13 But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], just as Yahweh had predicted, and he would not pay attention to [what Aaron and Moses/I said].
Na ka whakapakeketia e ia te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i rongo ki a raua, ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai.
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king is very stubborn [IDM]. He refuses to allow [my] people to go.
I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, E pakeke ana te ngakau o Parao, kahore ia e whakaae ana ki te tuku i te iwi.
15 So [tomorrow] morning, go to him as he is going down to the [Nile] River [to bathe]. Wait for him at the riverbank. [When he comes out of the water, show] him the stick, the one which became a snake.
Haere ki a Parao i te ata, na, e haere ana ia ki te wai; a hei te pareparenga o te awa tu atu ai koe ki a ia; ko te tokotoko hoki i nakahi ra, maua i tou ringa.
16 Say to him, ‘Yahweh God, the one [we] Hebrews [worship], sent me to you to tell you to let my people go, in order that they may worship him in the desert. [We told you that], but you have not paid any attention to it.
A ka mea koe ki a ia, Na Ihowa, na te Atua o nga Hiperu ahau i unga mai ki a koe; e mea ana ia, Tukua taku iwi kia mahi ki ahau i te koraha: titiro, kahore koe kia rongo a mohoa noa nei.
17 [So now] Yahweh says this: “This is the way you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. Watch this: I am going to strike the water that is in the Nile [River] with the stick that is in my hand. [When I do that], the water will become blood (OR, [red like] blood [MTY]).
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, ma konei e mohio ai koe ko Ihowa ahau: nana, maku e patu nga wai i te awa ki te tokotoko i toku ringa, a ka riro ke hei toto.
18 Then the fish in the Nile [River] will die, and the [water in] the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the Nile River.”’”
E mate hoki nga ika i roto i te awa, a e piro te awa; a e anuanu nga Ihipiana ki te inu i te wai o te awa.
19 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[When you are talking to the king], say to Aaron, ‘Hold your stick out [as though you were holding it] over the water in Egypt—over the rivers, the canals, the ponds, and over the pools of water, in order that [all of it] may become [red like] blood.’ When Aaron does that, there will be blood throughout Egypt, even in wooden jars and in stone jars.”
A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Mea atu ki a Arona, E mau ki tau tokotoko, totoro hoki tou ringa ki nga wai o Ihipa, ki o ratou wai e rere ana, ki o ratou awa, ki o ratou roto, ki o ratou huihuinga wai katoa, kia meinga ai hei toto; a ka whai toto nga oko rakau, kohatu hoki, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
20 So Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. As the king and his officials were watching, Aaron lifted up his stick and then struck the water in the Nile [River] with it. And all the water in the river turned [red like] blood.
A peratia ana e Mohi raua ko Arona me ta Ihowa i ako ai; hapainga ana e ia te tokotoko, patua ana ki nga wai o te awa, i te tirohanga a Parao, i te tirohanga ano hoki a ana tangata; a riro ke ana hei toto nga wai katoa o te awa.
21 Then all the fish died. And the water stank, with the result that the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. Everywhere in Egypt [the water] became [red like] blood.
A mate ana nga ika i te awa; a piro ana te awa, kihai hoki i ahei i nga Ihipiana te inu i te wai o te awa: na he toto tera i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
22 But the men who performed magic did the same thing using their magic. So the king remained stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/I said, just as Yahweh had predicted.
A, peratia ana e nga tohunga o Ihipa ki a ratou na mahi maori: a ka whakapakeketia te ngakau o Parao, kahore hoki ia i whakarongo ki a raua; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa i korero ai.
23 The king turned and went back to his palace, and he did not think any more about it [IDM].
Na tahuri ana a Parao, haere ana ki roto ki tona whare, kihai ano hoki i whakaanga i tona ngakau ki tenei.
24 The Egyptians [HYP] dug [into the ground] near the Nile [River] to get water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
Na ka keri nga Ihipiana katoa ki nga taha o te awa i te wai hei inu; kihai hoki i ahei te inu i te wai o te awa.
25 (One week/Seven days) passed after Yahweh caused the water in the Nile [River to become red like blood].
Na kua rite nga ra e whitu i muri i ta Ihowa patunga i te awa.
