1 N A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Akuanei koe kite ai i taku e mea ai ki a Parao; he kaha hoki te ringa e tuku ai ia i a ratou, he kaha hoki te ringaringa e pei ai ia i a ratou i tona whenua.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

2 A ka korero te Atua ki a Mohi, ka mea ki a ia, Ko Ihowa ahau:

And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord.

3 I oku putanga ia ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa, ko te Atua Kaha Rawa ahau, otiia kihai ratou i mohio ki ahau, ko IHOWA toku ingoa.

I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord I was not known to them.

4 K a whakamana ano e ahau taku kawenata ki a ratou, kia hoatu te whenua o Kanaana ki a ratou, te whenua o to ratou nohoanga manenetanga, i noho manene ai ratou.

I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers.

5 K ua rongo ano ahau ki te aue a nga tama a Iharaira, e whakamahia nei e nga Ihipiana, kua mahara hoki ki taku kawenata.

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.

6 M o konei me ki e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ko Ihowa ahau, a maku koutou e whakaputa i raro i nga kawenga a nga Ihipiana, maku hoki koutou e tango i ta ratou whakamahinga, he maro hoki te ringa, he nui nga whakawa, e whakaora ai ahau i a koutou:

Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

7 A ka tongo ahau i a koutou hei iwi maku, ko ahau ano hei Atua mo koutou: a e mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua, e whakaputa ana i a koutou i raro i nga kawenga a nga Ihipiana.

I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 M aku ano hoki koutou e kawe atu ki te whenua i whakamaro ai ahau i toku ringaringa mo reira kia hoatu ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa: a ka hoatu a reira e ahau ki a koutou hei kainga tuturu: ko Ihowa ahau.

And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’”

9 A he pena ta Mohi korero ki nga tama a Iharaira: otiia kihai ratou i whakarongo ki a Mohi i te mamae o te ngakau, i te kino o te mahi.

So Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not heed Moses, because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage.

10 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

11 H aere, korero ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa kia tukua e ia nga tama a Iharaira i tona whenua.

“Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the children of Israel go out of his land.”

12 N a ka korero a Mohi i te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, Nana, kahore nga tama a Iharaira i whakarongo ki ahau; me pehea e rongo ai a Parao ki ahau, he ngutu kokotikore nei hoki ahau?

And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, “The children of Israel have not heeded me. How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?”

13 N a ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, homai ana e ia ki a raua he ako ki nga tama a Iharaira, ki a Parao hoki kingi o Ihipa, mo nga tama a Iharaira kia whakaputaina i te whenua o Ihipa.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a command for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. The Family of Moses and Aaron

These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi were one hundred and thirty-seven.

These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.”

27 K o raua enei nana i korero ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa, kia whakaputaina mai nga tama a Iharaira i Ihipa: ko taua Mohi raua ko Arona tenei.

These are the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are the same Moses and Aaron. Aaron Is Moses’s Spokesman

28 A i te ra ano i korero ra a Ihowa ki a Mohi i te whenua o Ihipa,

And it came to pass, on the day the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 K a korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea, Ko Ihowa ahau: korerotia ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa nga mea katoa e korero nei ahau ki a koe.

that the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “I am the Lord. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.”

30 A ka mea a Mohi i te aroaro o Ihowa, Nana, he ngutu kokotikore ahau, a me pehea e rongo ai a Parao ki ahau?

But Moses said before the Lord, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heed me?”
