1Pea folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu kia Felo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ‘Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu,’ koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au.”
1Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
2He kapau te ke taʻofi hono tukuange, mo ke puke pe ʻakinautolu,
2But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,
3Vakai, ko e nima ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻi hoʻo ngaahi manu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, ki he fanga hoosi, pea ki he fanga asi, ki he fanga kāmeli, ki he fanga pulu, pea ki he fanga sipi: ʻe ai ʻae mahaki lahi mo mamahi.
3then the hand of the LORD will bring a severe plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
4Pea ʻe vaheʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi manu ʻa ʻIsileli mei he ngaahi manu ʻa ʻIsipite: pea ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe mate ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
4But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”
5Pea naʻe kotofa ʻe Sihova hono feituʻulaʻā, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ni ʻapongipongi ʻi he fonua.”
5The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”
6Pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ko ia ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea naʻe mate ai ʻae ngaahi manu ʻa ʻIsipite; ka ko e ngaahi manu ʻae kakai ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻikai mate ai ha taha.
6And the next day the LORD did just that. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
7Pea fekau ʻe Felo, pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai mate ha manu ʻe taha ʻi he kakai ʻIsileli. Pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻae kakai ke ʻalu.
7Pharaoh sent officials and found that none of the livestock of the Israelites had died. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go.
8¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, pea mo ʻElone, “Mo toʻo ʻae faluku ʻoe efuefu mei he ngotoʻumu, pea tuku ke laku hake ia ʻe Mōsese ki langi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo:
8Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the furnace; in the sight of Pharaoh, Moses is to toss it into the air.
9Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e efu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e hangatāmaki mo e vakafoha, ki he tangata mo e manu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.”
9It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”
10Pea naʻa na toʻo mai ʻae efuefu ʻoe ngotoʻumu, ʻo na tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo: pea laku hake ia ʻe Mōsese ki langi; pea naʻe hoko ia ko e hangatāmaki, pea naʻe tupu ʻae vakafoha ki he tangata mo e manu.
10So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast.
11Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ʻae kau fie mana ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese ko e meʻa ʻi he hangatāmaki; he naʻe ʻi he kau fie mana ʻae hangatāmaki, pea naʻe ʻi he kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē.
11The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.
12Pea naʻe fakafefeka ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga ia kiate kinaua; ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
12But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.
13¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai Hepelū, ‘Tukuange hoku kakai ke ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi au.’
13Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
14He te u fekau eni ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tautea kotoa pē ki ho loto, pea ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo ho kakai; koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ai ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi māmani ʻo hangē ko au.
14Otherwise, I will send all My plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.
15He ko ʻeni, teu mafao atu hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke u taaʻi koe mo ho kakai ʻaki ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha; pea ʻe tuʻusi koe mei māmani.
15For by this time I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the earth.
16Pea ko e moʻoni kuo u fokotuʻu koe, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ʻiate koe ʻeku mālohi; pea ke fakaongo atu ai hoku huafa ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
16But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power to you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
17ʻOku ke kei fakahikihiki koe ki hoku kakai, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fie tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu?
17Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.
18Vakai, ko e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi, Te u pule ke tō ai ʻae ʻuha maka fakamamahi lahi, naʻe ʻikai hano tatau ʻi ʻIsipite, talu hono fokotuʻu ʻo ia ʻo aʻu ki heni.
18Behold, at this time tomorrow I will rain down the worst hail that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded until now.
19Ko ia ke ke fekau ni, ke tānaki hoʻo fanga manu mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi he ngoue; he ko e tangata kotoa pē mo e manu kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe ʻilo ʻi he ngoue, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻomi ia ki ʻapi, ʻe tō hifo ʻae ʻuha maka ki ai, pea te nau mate.”
19So give orders now to shelter your livestock and everything you have in the field. Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the hail comes down upon them.’”
20Pea ʻilonga ia naʻe manavahē ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Felo, naʻa ne pule ke puna ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e fanga manu ki he ngaahi fale:
20Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,
21Pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki mo e fanga manu ʻi he ngoue.
21but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.
22¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Mafao atu ho nima ki langi: koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻae ʻuha maka ki he tangata mo e manu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ki he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue, ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.”
22Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt—on man and beast and every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt.”
23Pea mafao atu hono tokotoko e Mōsese ki langi: pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae mana mo e ʻuha maka, pea naʻe malele ʻae afi ʻi he funga fonua; pea naʻe fakaʻuha maka ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
23So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
24Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻuha maka naʻe fefiofi mo e afi, ko e meʻa mamahi ʻaupito, naʻe ʻikai hano tatau ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite talu hono hoko ko e puleʻanga.
24The hail fell and the lightning continued flashing through it. The hail was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.
25Pea naʻe teʻia ʻe he ʻuha maka ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻae tangata mo e manu: pea teʻia ʻe he ʻuha maka ʻae ʻakau siʻi kotoa pē, pea ne fesiʻi ʻae ʻakau lahi kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue.
25Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down every plant of the field and stripped every tree.
26Ka ko e fonua ko Koseni, ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻuha maka.
26The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.
27¶ Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Felo ke haʻu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Kuo u fai angahala ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ni: ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova, ka ko au mo hoku kakai ʻoku angahala.
27Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28Mo hū kia Sihova (he kuo lahi,) ke ʻoua naʻa kei fai ʻae mana lahi mo e ʻuha maka; pea te u tuku ʻakimoutolu ke ʻalu, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou tatali.”
28Pray to the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not need to stay any longer.”
29Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate ia, “ʻI heʻeku hoko leva ki he tuʻa kolo, teu mafao atu hoku nima kia Sihova; pea ʻe tuku leva ʻae mana, pea ʻe ʻikai kei tō ʻae ʻuha maka: koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ai ʻoku ʻo Sihova ʻa māmani.
29Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
30Ka ko koe mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe ʻikai te mou manavahē kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
30But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”
31Pea naʻe teʻia ʻae falakesi mo e paʻale he naʻe fua ʻae paʻale, pea kamata fua mo e falakesi.
31(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;
32Ka ko e uite mo e lai naʻe ʻikai teʻia, he naʻe teʻeki ai tupu hake.
32but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)
33Pea ʻalu ʻa Mōsese meia Felo ki he tuaʻā kolo, ʻo ne mafao atu hono nima kia Sihova: pea naʻe tuku ai ʻae mana mo e ʻuha maka, pea naʻe ʻikai kei tō ʻae ʻuha ki he kelekele.
33Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
34Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Felo kuo matuʻu ʻae ʻuha mo e ʻuha maka, mo e mana, naʻe toe fai angahala ia, ʻo fakafefeka hono loto, ʻaia mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
34When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.
35Pea naʻe fefeka ʻae loto ʻo Felo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu: ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
35So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
