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 in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2He kapau te ke taʻofi hono tukuange, mo ke puke pe ʻakinautolu,
2For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
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.
3behold, the LORD’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
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.
4The LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5Pea naʻe kotofa ʻe Sihova hono feituʻulaʻā, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ni ʻapongipongi ʻi he fonua.”
5The LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing 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.
6The LORD did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one 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, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t 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:
8The LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
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 shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt.”
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.
10They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
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 couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians 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.
12The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken 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.’
13The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve 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.
14For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that 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 now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from 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 indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,
17ʻOku ke kei fakahikihiki koe ki hoku kakai, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fie tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu?
17because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them 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, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even 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.”
19Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die.”’”
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 who feared the LORD’s word among the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
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.
21Whoever didn’t respect the LORD’s word left his servants and his 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.”
22The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb 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.
23Moses stretched out his rod toward the heavens, and the LORD sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. The LORD rained hail on 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.
24So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since 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.
25The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26Ka ko e fonua ko Koseni, ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻuha maka.
26Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
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.
27Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. 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 mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no 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, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; 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 servants, I know that you don’t yet fear the LORD God.”
31Pea naʻe teʻia ʻae falakesi mo e paʻale he naʻe fua ʻae paʻale, pea kamata fua mo e falakesi.
31The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
32Ka ko e uite mo e lai naʻe ʻikai teʻia, he naʻe teʻeki ai tupu hake.
32But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.
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.
33Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
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 the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
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.
35The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.
