ʻEkisotosi 10
1 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:
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
2 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.”
And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am Yhwh.
3 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.’
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith Yhwh God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
4 Pea kapau te ke taʻofi ʻae tukuange ʻo hoku kakai, vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae fanga heʻe ki ho fonua ʻapongipongi:
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
5 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:
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
6 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.”
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
7 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?”
And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve Yhwh their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
8 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?
And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve Yhwh your God: but who are they that shall go?
9 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.”
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto Yhwh.
10 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.”
And he said unto them, Let Yhwh be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
11 “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.
Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve Yhwh; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
12 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.”
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
13 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.
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, And Yhwh brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 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.
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15 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.
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
16 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.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Yhwh your God, and against you.
17 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.”
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat Yhwh your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
18 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo hū kia Sihova.
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated Yhwh.
19 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.
And Yhwh turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 Ka naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu.
But Yhwh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
21 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.”
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
22 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:
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
23 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.
They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
24 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.”
And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve Yhwh; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
25 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.
And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto Yhwh our God.
26 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.”
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve Yhwh our God; and we know not with what we must serve Yhwh, until we come thither.
27 Ka naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu.
But Yhwh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
28 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.”
And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
29 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Kuo ke lea lelei, ʻe ʻikai te u toe mamata ki ho mata.”
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
