1Pea 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:
1And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants: that I may work these my signs in him.
2Pea 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.”
2And thou mayest tell in the ears of thy sons, and of they grandsons, how often I have plagued the Egyptians, and wrought my signs amongst them: and you may know that I am the Lord:
3Pea 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.’
3Therefore Moses and Aaron went in to Pharao, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to submit to me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me.
4Pea kapau te ke taʻofi ʻae tukuange ʻo hoku kakai, vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae fanga heʻe ki ho fonua ʻapongipongi:
4But if thou resist, and wilt not let them go, behold I will bring in tomorrow the locust into thy coasts:
5Pea 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:
5To cover the face of the earth that nothing thereof may appear, but that which the hail hath left may be eaten: for they shall feed upon all the trees that spring in the fields.
6Pea 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.”
6And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of thy servants, and of all the Egyptians: such a number as thy fathers have not seen, nor thy grandfathers, from the time they were first upon the earth, until this present day. And he turned himself away, and went forth from Pharao.
7Pea 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?”
7And Pharao’s servants said to him: How long shall we endure this scandal? let the men go to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Dost thou not see that Egypt is undone?
8Pea 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?
8And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharao: and he said to them: Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God: who are they that shall go?
9Pea 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.”
9Moses said: We will go with our young and old, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds: for it is the solemnity of the Lord our God.
10Pea 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.”
10And Pharao answered: So be the Lord with you, as I shall let you and your children go: who can doubt but that you intend some great evil?
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.
11It shall not be so: but go ye men only, and sacrifice to the Lord: for this yourselves also desired. And immediately they were cast out from Pharao’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.”
12And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand upon the land of Egypt unto the locust, that it may come upon it, and devour every herb that is left after the hail.
13Pea 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.
13And Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt: and the Lord brought a burning wind all that day, and night: and when it was morning, the burning wind raised the locusts:
14Pea 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.
14And they came up over the whole land of Egypt: and rested in all the coasts of the Egyptians innumerable, the like as had not been before that time, nor shall be hereafter.
15He 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.
15And they covered the whole face of the earth, wasting all things. And the grass of the earth was devoured, and what fruits soever were on the trees, which the hail had left: and there remained not any thing that was green on the trees, or in the herbs of the earth in all 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.
16Wherefore Pharao in haste called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17Pea 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.”
17But now forgive me my sin this time also, and pray to the Lord your God, that he take away from me this death.
18Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo hū kia Sihova.
18And Moses going forth from the presence of Pharao, prayed to the Lord.
19Pea 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.
19And he made a very strong wind to blow from the west, and it took the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea: there remained not so much as one in all the coasts of Egypt.
20Ka naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu.
20And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, neither did he 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.”
21And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch out they hand towards heaven: and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that it may be felt.
22Pea 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:
22And Moses stretch forth his hand towards heaven: and there came horrible darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23Naʻe 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.
23No man saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was: but wheresoever the children of Israel dwelt there was light.
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.”
24And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go sacrifice to the Lord: let your sheep only, and herds remain; let your children go with you.
25Pea 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.
25Moses said: Thou shalt give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, to the Lord our God.
26ʻE 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.”
26All the flocks shall go with us: there shall not a hoof remain of them: for they are necessary for the service of the Lord our God: especially as we know not what must be offered, till we come to the very place.
27¶ Ka naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu.
27And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he would not let them go.
28Pea 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.”
28And Pharao said to Moses: Get thee from me, and beware thou see not my face any more: in what day soever thou shalt come in my sight, thou shalt die.
29Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Kuo ke lea lelei, ʻe ʻikai te u toe mamata ki ho mata.”
29Moses answered: So shall it be as thou hast spoken, I will not see thy face any more.
