ʻEkisotosi 7
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, Kuo u ngaohi koe ke ke hangē ko e ʻotua kia Felo: pea ko ʻElone ko ho taʻokete, ko hoʻo fakafofonga ia.
And Yhwh said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
2 Pea ke ke lea ʻaki ʻe koe ʻaia kotoa pē te u fekau kiate koe: pea ʻe lea ʻa ho taʻokete ko ʻElone kia Felo, koeʻuhi ke ne tuku atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei hono fonua.
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3 Pea te u fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea te u fakalahi ʻeku mana mo ʻeku meʻa fakaofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 Ka ʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Felo kiate kimoua, koeʻuhi ke u hili hoku nima ki ʻIsipite, ʻo ʻomi kituaʻā ʻeku ngaahi kautau, mo hoku kakai ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he ngaahi tautea lahi.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka mafao atu hoku nima ki ʻIsipite, ʻo ʻomi kituaʻā ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli meiate kinautolu.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am Yhwh, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate kinaua, ko ia ia ne na fai.
And Moses and Aaron did as Yhwh commanded them, so did they.
7 Pea naʻe valungofulu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Mōsese, pea valungofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe tolu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻElone, ʻi heʻena lea kia Felo.
And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
8 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo pehēange,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
9 ʻOka lea ʻa Felo kiate kimoua, ʻo pehē, “Fakahā mai haʻa mo mana: te ke lea ai kia ʻElone, Toʻo ho tokotoko, ʻo si ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e ngata.”
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10 Pea naʻa na ō, ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo hoko atu kia Felo, pea ne na fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova: pea si hifo ʻe ʻElone hono tokotoko ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, mo e ʻao ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea hoko ia ko e ngata.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as Yhwh had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe Felo ke haʻu foki ʻae kau tangata poto mo e kau kikite: pea ko eni, ko e kau fie mana ʻo ʻIsipite, naʻa nau fai pehē foki ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi ngāue fakalilolilo.
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 He naʻa nau taki taha si ki lalo hono tokotoko, pea naʻe liliu ia ko e ngaahi ngata: ka ko e tokotoko ʻo ʻElone naʻa ne folo hifo ʻo ʻosi honau ngaahi tokotoko.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Pea ne fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga kiate kinautolu; ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as Yhwh had said.
14 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Kuo fefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, ʻoku ʻikai loto ia ke ʻalu ʻae kakai.
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
15 Ke ke ʻalu ʻapongipongi kia Felo; vakai, ʻoku ʻalu atu ia ki he vai; pea te ke tuʻu koe ʻo ofi ki he veʻe vai ko hono tali; pea ke ke toʻo ʻi ho nima ʻae tokotoko naʻe liliu ko e ngata.
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
16 Pea te ke lea kiate ia, ‘Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai Hepelū kuo ne fekau au kiate koe, ke pehē, Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au ʻi he toafa: pea vakai, ʻoku teʻeki ai te ke tokanga ki ai.
And thou shalt say unto him, Yhwh God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
17 ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ʻi he meʻa ni te ke ʻilo ko au ko Sihova: vakai, teu tā ʻae vai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vaitafe, ʻaki ʻae tokotoko ʻoku ʻi hoku nima, pea ʻe liliu ia ko e toto.
Thus saith Yhwh, In this thou shalt know that I am Yhwh: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Pea ko e ngaahi ika ʻoku ʻi he vaitafe, ʻe mate ia, pea ʻe namukū ʻae vaitafe: pea ʻe fakaliliʻa ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ke inu ʻae vai ʻi he vaitafe.’”
And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
19 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, Tala kia ʻElone, “Toʻo ho tokotoko, mo ke mafao atu ho nima ki he ngaahi vai ʻo ʻIsipite, ki honau vaitafe siʻi mo e vai tafe lahi, ki he ngaahi luovai, mo e ngaahi anovai, koeʻuhi ke liliu ia ko e toto: koeʻuhi ke ai ʻae toto ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai ʻakau, mo e ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai maka.”
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova: pea naʻa ne hiki hake ʻae tokotoko ʻo taaʻi ʻaki ʻae vai ʻi he vaitafe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, mo e ʻao ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki; pea naʻe liliu ʻae ngaahi vai kotoa pē ʻi he vaitafe ko e toto.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as Yhwh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 Pea naʻe mate ai ʻae ika naʻe ʻi he vaitafe; pea naʻe namukū ʻae vaitafe, pea ʻikai faʻa inu ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻae vai ʻoe vaitafe; pea naʻe ai ʻae toto ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Pea naʻe fai pehē pe ʻe he kau fie mana ʻo ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi ngāue fakalilolilo: pea naʻe fefeka ai ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga kiate kinaua, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as Yhwh had said.
23 Pea foki atu ʻa Felo ʻo hū ki hono fale, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakatokangaʻi hono loto ki he meʻa ni.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
24 Pea naʻe keli ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē ʻo ofi ki he vaitafe ke maʻu ʻae vai ke inu; he naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa inu ʻae vai mei he vaitafe.
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Pea naʻe ʻosi ange ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu, hili hono taaʻi ʻae vai lahi ʻe Sihova.
And seven days were fulfilled, after that Yhwh had smitten the river.
