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 will see what I will do to Pharaoh. For he will be made to let them go because of My strong hand. By My strong hand, he will make them go out of his land.” God Calls Moses

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

God said to Moses, “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 showed Myself as God All-powerful to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I did not make Myself known to them by My name, the Lord.

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 also made My agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land where 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.

I have heard the crying of the people of Israel, because they are being held by the Egyptians. And I have remembered My agreement.

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:

So say to the people of Israel, ‘I am the Lord. I will take you away from the hard work and suffering in Egypt. I will take you away from being their servants. I will make you free by the strength of My arm and by the great things I will do to punish the guilty.

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.

Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God. And you will know that I am the Lord your God. I will bring you out from under the heavy loads 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.

I will bring you to the land I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I will give it to you for your own. 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 said this to the people of Israel. But they did not listen to Moses because of their broken spirit and how hard they were made to work.

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

Then the Lord said to Moses,

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

“Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people 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?

But Moses said to the Lord, “See, the people of Israel have not listened to me. How then will Pharaoh listen to me? I am not able to speak well.”

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.

But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He told them to tell the people of Israel and Pharaoh king of Egypt that they were to bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt. The Family of Moses and Aaron

It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “Bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their family groups.”

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.

They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing the people of Israel out of Egypt. It was the same Moses and Aaron.

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

On the day when 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.

the Lord said to Moses, “I am the Lord. Tell 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 to the Lord, “See, I am not able to speak well. How then will Pharaoh listen to me?”
