< Ekoruhe 9 >

1 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere ki a Parao, mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga Hiperu, Tukua taku iwi kia haere ki te mahi ki ahau.
Then Jehovah said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, 'This is what Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ki te kore hoki koe e rongo ki te tuku, ki te pupuri tonu i a ratou;
For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
3 Nana, ka pa te ringa o Ihowa ki au kararehe i te parae, ki nga hoiho ki nga kaihe, ki nga kamera, ki nga kau, ki nga hipi: ka pa he mate kino rawa.
look, the hand of Jehovah is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
4 A e wehewehe a Ihowa i nga kararehe a Iharaira, i nga karerehe a Ihipa: e kore e mate tetahi o nga mea katoa a nga tama a Iharaira.
Jehovah will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that belongs to the children of Israel."'"
5 I whakaritea ano e Ihowa he taima, i mea ia, Ko apopo a Ihowa mea ai i tenei mea ki te whenua.
God appointed a set time, saying, "Tomorrow Jehovah shall do this thing in the land."
6 I te aonga ake ka meatia taua mea e Ihowa, a mate iho nga kararehe katoa o Ihipa; ko nga kararehe ia a nga tama a Iharaira, kihai i mate tetahi.
Jehovah did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
7 Na ka tonoa he kaititiro e Parao, na, kahore i mate kia kotahi o nga kararehe a nga tama a Iharaira. A ka whakapakeketia te ngakau o Parao, kihai hoki ia i tuku i te iwi.
Pharaoh sent, and, look, there was not so much as one of the livestock of Israel dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go.
8 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, Aohia mai etahi pungarehu ma korua i te oumu, kia ki nga ringa, a ma Mohi e ruke whaka te rangi i te tirohanga a Parao.
Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, "Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 A ka whakapuehu ririki ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, a ka meinga hei whewhe pukupuku e tupu ana ki te tangata, ki te kararehe i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with boils on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt."
10 Na ka aohia e raua he pungarehu i te oumu, a tu ana ki te aroaro o Parao; a ka rukea e Mohi whaka te rangi, na he whewhe pukupuku e tupu ana ki te tangata, ki te kararehe.
They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became a boil breaking forth with boils on man and on animal.
11 A kihai nga tohunga i ahei te tu ki te aroaro o Mohi i nga whewhe; kei nga tohunga hoki te whewhe, kei nga Ihipiana katoa ano hoki.
The magicians couldn't stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.
12 Na ka whakapakeke a Ihowa i te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i rongo ki a raua; ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai ki a Mohi.
Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as Jehovah had spoken to Moses.
13 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Maranga wawe i te ata, ka tu ki te aroaro o Parao, ka mea ki a ia, E penei mai ana a Ihowa, te Atua o nga Hiperu, Tukua taku iwi kia haere ki te mahi ki ahau.
Jehovah said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, 'This is what Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14 Ko a tenei taima hoki ka tukua atu e ahau aku whiu katoa ki tou ngakau, ki ou tangata hoki, ratou ko tou iwi; kia mohio ai koe kahore tetahi e rite ana ki ahau i te whenua katoa.
For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
15 Ko akuanei hoki takiritia ai toku ringa, a ka patu ahau i a koe, i tou iwi hoki, ki te mate uruta; a ka ngaro atu koe i te whenua.
For now I would have put forth my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;
16 Otiia mo konei pu ahau i whakaara ai i a koe, kia ai koe hei whakakitenga mo toku kaha; kia korerotia ai hoki toku ingoa ki te ao katoa.
but indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth;
17 E whakakake tonu ana ano koe ki taku iwi, te tuku ai i a ratou?
as you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won't let them go.
18 Nana, kia penei apopo, ka uaina e ahau he whatu, he mea nanakia rawa, kahore he pena i Ihipa o te pito nohoanga iho ano a mohoa noa nei.
Look, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
19 Na, unga atu, huihuia au kararehe, me au mea katoa i te parae; ko nga tangata katoa me nga kararehe e rokohanga ki te parae, a kihai i huihuia ki te whare, ina, ka rere iho te whatu ki runga ki a ratou, a ka mate.
Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. Every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn't brought home, the hail shall come down on them, and they shall die."'"
20 Ko te tangata a Parao i wehi i te kupu a Ihowa, i meatia e ia ona tangata me ana kararehe kia rere ki nga whare:
Those who feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
21 Ko te tangata ia kihai i anga tona ngakau ki te kupu a Ihowa, i waiho atu e ia ana tangata me ana kararehe i te parae.
Whoever did not regard the word of Jehovah left his servants and his livestock in the field.
22 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Totoro atu tou ringa ki te rangi, kia puta ai he whatu ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, ki te tangata, ki te kararehe, ki nga mea tupu katoa o te mara, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
Jehovah said to Moses, "Stretch forth your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt."
23 Na ka toro atu te tokotoko a Mohi whaka te rangi: ko te tino tukunga mai a Ihowa i nga whatitiri, i te whatu; a rere ana te ahi ki runga i te whenua; a uaina iho ana e Ihowa te whatu ki te whenua o Ihipa.
Moses stretched forth his staff toward the heavens, and Jehovah sent thunder, and hail, and fire fell to the earth. Jehovah rained hail on the land of Egypt.
24 Na he whatu tena, he ahi hoki e whakauru ana ki roto ki te whatu, he nanakia rawa, kahore ona rite i te whenua katoa o Ihipa, o te timatanga iho ano o taua iwi.
So there was very severe hail, and fire mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 Na i patua iho e te whatu, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa, nga mea katoa i te parae, te tangata, te kararehe; i patu ano te whatu i nga otaota katoa o te mara, i whatiwhati hoki i nga rakau katoa o te mara.
The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every plant of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26 Ko te whenua ia o Kohena, i nga tama a Iharaira, kahore he whatu.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
27 Na ka tono tangata a Parao hei karanga i a Mohi raua ko Arona, a ka mea ia ki a raua, Kua hara ahau i tenei wa: he tika a Ihowa, tena ko ahau, matou tahi ko toku iwi, he kino.
Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "I have sinned this time. Jehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Inoi ki a Ihowa; kua iro na hoki i enei whatitiri nunui me nga whatu; a ka tuku ahau i a koutou, a heoi ano to koutou nohoanga.
Pray to Jehovah; for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail and fire. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."
29 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ia, Kia puta atu ahau ki waho i te pa, ka whakatuwhera atu ahau i oku ringa ki a Ihowa: a e mutu nga whatitiri, a ka kore noa iho te whatu; kia mohio ai koe no Ihowa te whenua.
Moses said to him, "As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to Jehovah. The thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Jehovah's.
30 Ko koe ia, me au tangata, e mohio ana ahau kahore ano koutou i wehi noa i a Ihowa, i te Atua.
But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear Jehovah God."
31 I patua te korari me te parei; kua pupuku hoki te parei, kua pua hoki te korari.
The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
32 Ko te witi ia me te rai kihai i patua; kahore hoki ena i tupu noa.
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are late.
33 Na ka mawehe atu a Mohi i a Parao ki waho i te pa, a ka whakatuwhera i ona ringa ki a Ihowa; a mutu iho nga whatitiri me te whatu, kihai hoki te ua i ringihia ki te whenua.
Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to Jehovah; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured on the land.
34 A, no te kitenga a Parao kua mutu te ua, te whatu, me nga whatitiri, ka hara ano ia, ka whakapakeke i tona ngakau, ratou tahi ko ona tangata.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 Heoi, whakapakeketia ana te ngakau o Parao, kihai hoki ia i tuku i nga tama a Iharaira; ko ta Ihowa hoki i korero ai ki a Mohi.
The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go, just as Jehovah had spoken through Moses.
