1Pea naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ko eni, te ke mamata ki he meʻa te u fai kia Felo: koeʻuhi ʻi he nima mālohi te ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu, pea ʻi he nima mālohi te ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua.”
1And the Lord said to Moses: Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao: for by a mighty hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he cast them out of his land.
2Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko au ko Sihova.
2And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: I am the Lord,
3Pea naʻaku fakahā au kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope, ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi, ka ko hoku huafa KO SIHOVA, naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ai au ʻekinautolu.
3That appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty; and my name ADONAI I did not shew them.
4Pea kuo u fakapapau ʻeku fuakava mo kinautolu, ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, ko e fonua ʻo ʻenau fononga fano, ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai ko e muli.
4And I made a covenant with them, to give them the land of Chanaan, the land of their pilgrimage wherein they were strangers.
5Pea kuo u ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi toʻe foki ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kei fakapōpulaʻi ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite: pea kuo u manatuʻi ʻeku fuakava.
5I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, wherewith the Egyptians have oppressed them: and I have remembered my covenant.
6Ko ia, lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ‘Ko au ko Sihova, pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu kituʻa mei he ngaahi kavenga ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, pea te u fakangata ʻa hoʻomou pōpula kiate kinautolu, pea teu huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae nima kuo mafao, mo e ngaahi tautea lahi:
6Therefore say to the children of Israel: I am the Lord who will bring you out from the work prison of the Egyptians, and will deliver you from bondage: and redeem you with a high arm, and great judgments.
7Pea te u maʻu ʻakimoutolu kiate au ko hoku kakai, pea teu ʻiate kimoutolu ko homou ʻOtua: pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻoku ou ʻomi ʻakimoutolu kituʻa mei he ngaahi kavenga ʻae kakai ʻIsipite.
7And I will take you to myself for my people, I will be your God: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the work prison of the Egyptians.
8Pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua, ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ke foaki ia kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope; pea te u foaki ia kiate kimoutolu ko e tofiʻa: Ko au ko Sihova.’”
8And brought you into the land, concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and I will give it you to possess, I am the Lord.
9¶ Pea naʻe lea pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga kia Mōsese ko e meʻa ʻi he feinga ʻa honau laumālie, mo e māmani ʻo honau pōpula.
9And Moses told all this to the children of Israel: but they did not hearken to him, for anguish of spirit, and most painful work.
10Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
10And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
11“ʻAlu, ʻo lea kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, ke ne tukuange ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke ʻalu mei hono fonua.”
11Go in, and speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
12Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au: pea ʻe tokanga fēfeeʻi ʻa Felo kiate au, ko e loungutu taʻekamu ko au?”
12Moses answered before the Lord Behold the children of Israel do no hearken to me; and how will Pharao hear me, especially as I am of uncircumcised lips?
13Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, pea mo ʻElone, “ʻO ne tuku kiate kinaua ʻae fekau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, ke ʻomi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”
13And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and he gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharao the king of Egypt, that they should bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
