< Exodus 3 >

1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb.
HANAI iho la o Mose i na holoholona a Ietero a kona makuahonowaikane, a ke kahuna ma Midiana; alakai aku la no ia i na holoholona ma ke kua o ka waonahele, a hiki aku la i ke kuahiwi o ke Akua, i Horeba.
2 Yahweh’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Ikea mai la e ia ka anela o Iehova maloko o ka lapalapa o ke ahi mawaenakonu o ka laalaau: nana aku la ia, aia hoi, e aa ana ka laalaau i ko ahi, aole nae i pau ka laau.
3 Moses said, “I will go now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.”
I iho la o Mose, E kipa ae no wau e ike i keia mea nui, i ka mea i pau ole ai ka laau i ke ahi.
4 When Yahweh saw that he came over to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!” He said, “Here I am.”
A ike mai la o Iehova i kona huli ana e makaikai, hea mai la ke Akua ia ia mailoko mai o ua laalaau la, E Mose, e Mose. I aku la ia, Eia no wau.
5 He said, “Don’t come close. Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”
I mai la kela, Mai hookokoke mai oe: e wehe ae oe i kou mau kamaa mai kou mau kapuwai aku, no ka mea, o kahi au e ku nei, he aina hoano ia.
6 Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.
I mai la hoi oia, Owau no ke Akua o kou makuakane, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua hoi o Iakoba. Papani iho la o Mose i kona maka; no ka mea, ua makau ia ke nana aku i ke Akua.
7 Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
I mai la o Iehova, I kuu nana ana ua ike no wau i ka luhi ana o ko'u poe kanaka ma Aigupita, ua lohe no hoi au i ka lakou kaniuhu ana, no na luna hooluhi o lakou; ua ike hoi au i ko lakou ehaeha ana.
8 I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Ua iho mai nei au ilalo nei e hookuu ia lakou mai ka lima mai o ko Aigupita, a e lawe mai ia lakou mai ia aina mai, a kekahi aina maikai. a nui no hoi. he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli; i kahi o ka poe Kanaana, a me ka Heta, a me ka Amora, a me ka Pereza, a me ka Hiva, a me ka Iebusa.
9 Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
Eia hoi, no ka mea, ua hiki mai io'u nei ke kaniuhu ana o na mamo a Iseraela; a na ike no hoi au i ka luhi ana a ko Aigupita i hooluhi iho ai ia lakou.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
Nolaila la, e hele mai oe, a na'u no oe e hoouna aku io Parao la, i lawe mai ai oe i o'u poe kanaka, i na mamo a Iseraela mailoko ae o Aigupita.
11 Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
I aku la o Mose i ke Akua, Owai la wau, i hele aku ai au io Parao la, a i lawe mai ai hoi au i na mamo a Iseraela mailoko mai o Aigupita?
12 He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
I mai la kela, He oiaio, owau no kekahi me oe, eia hoi ka hoailona o ko'u hoouna ana aku ia oe; i ka wa au e lawe mai ai i ka poe kanaka mai Aigupita mai, e hoomana auanei oukou i ke Akua ma keia kuahiwi.
13 Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what should I tell them?”
Ninau aku la o Mose i ke Akua, Aia hoi, a hiki aku au i na mamo a Iseraela, a e olelo au ia lakou, Na ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna owau i hoouna mai io oukou nei, a e ninau lakou ia'u, Owai kona inoa? Pehea la hoi ka'u e olelo aku ai ia lakou?
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
I mai la ke Akua ia Mose, OWAU MAU LOA AKU NO. I mai la hoi oia, Penei kau e olelo aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela, OWAU MAU, oia ka i hoouna mai ia'u io oukou nei.
15 God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
I hou mai la ke Akua ia Mose, Penei oe e olelo aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela, Na Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua o Iakoba, owau i hoouna mai io oukou nei. Oia no ko'u inoa mau loa, oia hoi ko'u mea e hoomanaoia i ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.
16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.
O hele oe, a e hoakoakoa ae i ka poe lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, a e olelo aku ia lakou, Ua ikeia'ku e au o Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna, ke Akua o Aberahama, o Isaaka a o Iakoba; ua olelo mai oia, Ua ike io no au ia oukou, a me ka mea i hanaia mai ia oukou ma Aigupita.
17 I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’
Ua olelo hoi au, Na'u no oukou e lawe aku iluna, mailoko ae o ka popilikia o Aigupita, a hiki i ka aina o ka Kanaana a me ka Heta a me ka Amora a me ka Pereza a me ka Hiva, a me ka Iebusa, i ka aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
18 They will listen to your voice. You shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.’
A e hoolohe mai lakou i kou leo: a e hele pu oe me ka poe lunakahiko o ka Iseraela i ke alii o Aigupita, a e olelo aku oukou ia ia, Ua halawai mai me makou o Iehova ke Akua o ka poe Hebera: no ia mea, e hookuu mai oe ia makou e hele ma ka waonahele, i ekolu la hele, e kaumaha aku ai na Iehova ko makou Akua.
19 I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand.
Ua ike no nae au, aole e hookuu mai ke alii o Aigupita ia oukou, aole no ma ka lima ikaika.
20 I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do among them, and after that he will let you go.
Aka, e o aku no wau i ko'u lima, a e paopao wau ia Aigupita me na mea mana a pau a'u e hana aku ai mawaena konu o lakou: a mahope e hookuu no oia ia oukou.
21 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.
Ae haawi aku wau i ka lokomaikai i keia poe kanaka imua o na maka o ko Aigupita, a i ka wa a oukou e hele mai ai, aole oukou e hele nele mai.
22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing. You shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”
E noi aku no kela wahine keia wahine i kona hoalauna, a i ka mea e noho pu ana maloko o kona hale, i na mea kala, a me na mea gula, a me na mea aahu, a e hoaahu iho oukou i ka oukou poe keikikane, a me ka oukou poe kaikamahine; e hao hoi oukou i ko Aigupita.
