Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere ki a Parao, mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga Hiperu, Tukua taku iwi kia haere ki te mahi ki ahau.

Ki te kore hoki koe e rongo ki te tuku, ki te pupuri tonu i a ratou;

Nana, ka pa te ringa o Ihowa ki au kararehe i te parae, ki nga hoiho ki nga kaihe, ki nga kamera, ki nga kau, ki nga hipi: ka pa he mate kino rawa.

A e wehewehe a Ihowa i nga kararehe a Iharaira, i nga karerehe a Ihipa: e kore e mate tetahi o nga mea katoa a nga tama a Iharaira.

I whakaritea ano e Ihowa he taima, i mea ia, Ko apopo a Ihowa mea ai i tenei mea ki te whenua.

I te aonga ake ka meatia taua mea e Ihowa, a mate iho nga kararehe katoa o Ihipa; ko nga kararehe ia a nga tama a Iharaira, kihai i mate tetahi.

Na ka tonoa he kaititiro e Parao, na, kahore i mate kia kotahi o nga kararehe a nga tama a Iharaira. A ka whakapakeketia te ngakau o Parao, kihai hoki ia i tuku i te iwi.

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, Aohia mai etahi pungarehu ma korua i te oumu, kia ki nga ringa, a ma Mohi e ruke whaka te rangi i te tirohanga a Parao.

A ka whakapuehu ririki ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, a ka meinga hei whewhe pukupuku e tupu ana ki te tangata, ki te kararehe i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.

10 Na ka aohia e raua he pungarehu i te oumu, a tu ana ki te aroaro o Parao; a ka rukea e Mohi whaka te rangi, na he whewhe pukupuku e tupu ana ki te tangata, ki te kararehe.

11 A kihai nga tohunga i ahei te tu ki te aroaro o Mohi i nga whewhe; kei nga tohunga hoki te whewhe, kei nga Ihipiana katoa ano hoki.

12 Na ka whakapakeke a Ihowa i te ngakau o Parao, a kihai ia i rongo ki a raua; ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai ki a Mohi.

13 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Maranga wawe i te ata, ka tu ki te aroaro o Parao, ka mea ki a ia, E penei mai ana a Ihowa, te Atua o nga Hiperu, Tukua taku iwi kia haere ki te mahi ki ahau.

14 Ko a tenei taima hoki ka tukua atu e ahau aku whiu katoa ki tou ngakau, ki ou tangata hoki, ratou ko tou iwi; kia mohio ai koe kahore tetahi e rite ana ki ahau i te whenua katoa.

15 Ko akuanei hoki takiritia ai toku ringa, a ka patu ahau i a koe, i tou iwi hoki, ki te mate uruta; a ka ngaro atu koe i te whenua.

16 Otiia mo konei pu ahau i whakaara ai i a koe, kia ai koe hei whakakitenga mo toku kaha; kia korerotia ai hoki toku ingoa ki te ao katoa.

17 E whakakake tonu ana ano koe ki taku iwi, te tuku ai i a ratou?

18 Nana, kia penei apopo, ka uaina e ahau he whatu, he mea nanakia rawa, kahore he pena i Ihipa o te pito nohoanga iho ano a mohoa noa nei.

19 Na, unga atu, huihuia au kararehe, me au mea katoa i te parae; ko nga tangata katoa me nga kararehe e rokohanga ki te parae, a kihai i huihuia ki te whare, ina, ka rere iho te whatu ki runga ki a ratou, a ka mate.

20 Ko te tangata a Parao i wehi i te kupu a Ihowa, i meatia e ia ona tangata me ana kararehe kia rere ki nga whare:

21 Ko te tangata ia kihai i anga tona ngakau ki te kupu a Ihowa, i waiho atu e ia ana tangata me ana kararehe i te parae.

22 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Totoro atu tou ringa ki te rangi, kia puta ai he whatu ki te whenua katoa o Ihipa, ki te tangata, ki te kararehe, ki nga mea tupu katoa o te mara, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.

23 Na ka toro atu te tokotoko a Mohi whaka te rangi: ko te tino tukunga mai a Ihowa i nga whatitiri, i te whatu; a rere ana te ahi ki runga i te whenua; a uaina iho ana e Ihowa te whatu ki te whenua o Ihipa.

24 Na he whatu tena, he ahi hoki e whakauru ana ki roto ki te whatu, he nanakia rawa, kahore ona rite i te whenua katoa o Ihipa, o te timatanga iho ano o taua iwi.

25 Na i patua iho e te whatu, i te whenua katoa o Ihipa, nga mea katoa i te parae, te tangata, te kararehe; i patu ano te whatu i nga otaota katoa o te mara, i whatiwhati hoki i nga rakau katoa o te mara.

26 Ko te whenua ia o Kohena, i nga tama a Iharaira, kahore he whatu.

27 Na ka tono tangata a Parao hei karanga i a Mohi raua ko Arona, a ka mea ia ki a raua, Kua hara ahau i tenei wa: he tika a Ihowa, tena ko ahau, matou tahi ko toku iwi, he kino.

28 Inoi ki a Ihowa; kua iro na hoki i enei whatitiri nunui me nga whatu; a ka tuku ahau i a koutou, a heoi ano to koutou nohoanga.

29 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ia, Kia puta atu ahau ki waho i te pa, ka whakatuwhera atu ahau i oku ringa ki a Ihowa: a e mutu nga whatitiri, a ka kore noa iho te whatu; kia mohio ai koe no Ihowa te whenua.

30 Ko koe ia, me au tangata, e mohio ana ahau kahore ano koutou i wehi noa i a Ihowa, i te Atua.

31 I patua te korari me te parei; kua pupuku hoki te parei, kua pua hoki te korari.

32 Ko te witi ia me te rai kihai i patua; kahore hoki ena i tupu noa.

33 Na ka mawehe atu a Mohi i a Parao ki waho i te pa, a ka whakatuwhera i ona ringa ki a Ihowa; a mutu iho nga whatitiri me te whatu, kihai hoki te ua i ringihia ki te whenua.

34 A, no te kitenga a Parao kua mutu te ua, te whatu, me nga whatitiri, ka hara ano ia, ka whakapakeke i tona ngakau, ratou tahi ko ona tangata.

35 Heoi, whakapakeketia ana te ngakau o Parao, kihai hoki ia i tuku i nga tama a Iharaira; ko ta Ihowa hoki i korero ai ki a Mohi.

The Plague on Livestock

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, so that they may worship(A) me.” If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, the hand(B) of the Lord will bring a terrible plague(C) on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats. But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and that of Egypt,(D) so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”

The Lord set a time and said, “Tomorrow the Lord will do this in the land.” And the next day the Lord did it: All the livestock(E) of the Egyptians died,(F) but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died. Pharaoh investigated and found that not even one of the animals of the Israelites had died. Yet his heart(G) was unyielding and he would not let the people go.(H)

The Plague of Boils

Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils(I) will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”

10 So they took soot from a furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on people and animals. 11 The magicians(J) could not stand before Moses because of the boils that were on them and on all the Egyptians. 12 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart(K) and he would not listen(L) to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had said to Moses.

The Plague of Hail

13 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, confront Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship(M) me, 14 or this time I will send the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and your people, so you may know(N) that there is no one like(O) me in all the earth. 15 For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people(P) with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. 16 But I have raised you up[a] for this very purpose,(Q) that I might show you my power(R) and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. 17 You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go. 18 Therefore, at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm(S) that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded till now.(T) 19 Give an order now to bring your livestock and everything you have in the field to a place of shelter, because the hail will fall on every person and animal that has not been brought in and is still out in the field, and they will die.’”

20 Those officials of Pharaoh who feared(U) the word of the Lord hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside. 21 But those who ignored(V) the word of the Lord left their slaves and livestock in the field.

22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt—on people and animals and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt.” 23 When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the Lord sent thunder(W) and hail,(X) and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt; 24 hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.(Y) 25 Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both people and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree.(Z) 26 The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen,(AA) where the Israelites were.(AB)

27 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,”(AC) he said to them. “The Lord is in the right,(AD) and I and my people are in the wrong. 28 Pray(AE) to the Lord, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go;(AF) you don’t have to stay any longer.”

29 Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands(AG) in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth(AH) is the Lord’s. 30 But I know that you and your officials still do not fear(AI) the Lord God.”

31 (The flax and barley(AJ) were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom. 32 The wheat and spelt,(AK) however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)

33 Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the Lord; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land. 34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts. 35 So Pharaoh’s heart(AL) was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.
