Exodus 10
1 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Faro khaeah caeh ah; anih hmaa ah hae baktih dawnrai hmuennawk kam tuengsak hanah, anih hoi a tamnanawk ih palungthin to kam taksak boeh;
And the Lord said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart, and that of his servants, so that I may accomplish these, my signs, in him,
2 Izip prae nuiah ka sak ih hmuen hoi nihcae khaeah ka sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to, na capa hoi na capa ih capa patoeng khaeah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
and so that you may describe to the ears of your sons and your grandsons how often I opposed the Egyptians and wrought my signs among them, and so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
3 To pongah Mosi hoi Aaron loe Faro khaeah caeh hoi moe, anih khaeah, Hebru kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah, Ka hmaa ah poek pahnaem hanah nasetto maw nang maak han vop? Kai a bok o hanah, kai ih kaminawk to tacawtsak lai ah.
Therefore, Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they said to him: “Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long will you be unwilling to be subject to me? Release my people to sacrifice to me.
4 Na tacawtsak ai nahaeloe, khenah, khawnbang ah na prae thung boih ah pakhuh kang tacawtsak han;
But if you resist, and you are unwilling to release them, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your borders.
5 pakhuh loe long ah koi o boih tih, long to na hnu o thai mak ai; nihcae loe qaetui mah bop ai ih kanghmat, lawk ah kamprawk aannawk hoi thingnawk to caa o king tih.
And they shall cover the face of the earth, lest any part of it be seen. Yes, and what remains from the hail shall be eaten. For they will gnaw away all the trees that spring up in the fields.
6 Nam panawk hoi nam panawk ih ampanawk mah hae long nuiah khosak o tangsuek nathuem hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to hnu o vai ai ih, to baktih pakhuhnawk loe na im, na tamnanawk ih im hoi Izip kaminawk ih im boih ah koi o tih, tiah a thuih, tiah a thuih pae hoi; to pacoengah Mosi mah Faro to caehtaak.
And they will fill your houses, and those of your servants and of all the Egyptians: so many as your fathers and ancestors have not seen, from the time that they rose up over the earth, even until this present day.” And he turned himself away, and he departed from Pharaoh.
7 Faro ih tamnanawk mah anih khaeah, Hae kami mah aicae han nasetto maw thaang patung o vop tih? Angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to a bok o hanah, nihcae to tacawtsak lai ah; Izip prae loe amro boeh, tiah na panoek ai vop maw? tiah a naa o.
Then the servants of Pharaoh said to him: “How long must we endure this scandal? Release the men, in order to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Do you not see that Egypt is perishing?”
8 To pacoengah Mosi hoi Aaron to Faro khaeah kawk o let; Faro mah nihnik khaeah, Caeh hoi ah loe, na Angraeng Sithaw to bok oh; toe mi kawbaktih kaminawk maw caeh o tih? tiah a naa.
And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh, who said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God. Who are they who would go?”
9 Mosi mah, Angraeng khaeah poihsak han oh pongah, thendoengnawk, mitongnawk, kaimacae ih capa hoi canunawk, tuunawk hoi maitawnawk hoi nawnto ka caeh o han, tiah a naa.
Moses said: “We will travel with our little ones and our elderly, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds. For it is a solemnity of the Lord our God.”
10 To naah Faro mah, Caeh hanah nangcae hoi nawktanawk kang prawt o baktih toengah, nangcae khaeah Angraeng to om nasoe; acoe oh; kasae sak han na poek o bae hae!
And Pharaoh responded: “So let the Lord be with you. But if I were to release you and your little ones, who would doubt that you intend some great wickedness?
11 To tiah poek han om ai! Nongpanawk khue caeh o nasoe loe, canghni ah nang hnik o ih baktih toengah, Angraeng to bok o nasoe, tiah a naa. To naah Mosi hoi Aaron to Faro hmaa hoiah haek o ving.
It will not be so. However, go only with the men, and sacrifice to the Lord. For this, too, is what you yourselves requested.” And immediately they were cast out from the sight of Pharaoh.
12 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Izip prae thungah pakhuh angzoh moe, qaetui mah tahmat ih, long ah amprawk aankungnawk to caak boih hanah, na ban to Izip prae nuiah payangh ah, tiah a naa.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand over the land of Egypt, toward the locusts, so that they may rise up over it, and devour every plant which remains from the hail.”
13 To pongah Mosi mah a ban ih cunghet to Izip prae nuiah phok; to na niah aqum athun Angraeng mah ni angzae bang ih takhi to songsak; khawnbang phak naah loe takhi mah pakhuhnawk to caeh haih boih.
And Moses extended his staff over the land of Egypt. And the Lord brought a burning wind all that day and night. And when morning came, the burning wind lifted up the locusts.
14 Izip prae thung boih ah pakhu to koi, Izip prae angzithaih ramri taeng khoek to, kroek laek ai ah oh o; to baktih pakhuhnawk loe natuek naah doeh to tiah om vai ai; angzo han koi atue ah doeh to tiah om mak ai.
And they ascended over the entire land of Egypt. And they settled into all the parts of the Egyptians: innumerable, such as had not been before that time, nor ever would be thereafter.
15 Long boih ah koi o pongah, long loe amnum ving; qaetui mah bop ai ih kanghmat, lawk ah kamprawk aankungnawk hoi thingkung pong ih kanghmat thingthainawk to a caak o boih; Izip prae thung boih ah thingkung kahing, to ai boeh loe lawk ih aannawk roe om ai boeh.
And they covered the entire face of the land, laying waste to all things. And the plants of the land were devoured, along with whatever fruits were on the trees, which the hail had left behind. And nothing at all of the greenery remained on the trees or on the plants of the earth in all of Egypt.
16 Faro mah Mosi hoi Aaron to karangah kawk moe, Nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw hoi nanghnik nuiah zaehaih ka sak moeng boeh.
For this reason, Pharaoh hurriedly called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17 To pongah vaihi ka zaehaih to tahmen ah loe, na Angraeng Sithaw mah hae duekhaih maeto hae kai khae hoiah takhoe ving hanah, lawk na thui paeh, tiah a naa.
But now, release me from my sin even this time, and petition the Lord your God, so that he may take this death away from me.”
18 Mosi mah Faro to tacawt taak moe, Angraeng khaeah lawk a thuih.
And Moses, departing from the sight of Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
19 To naah Angraeng mah thacak takhi to niduem bang hoiah songsak moe, pakhuhnawk to tuipui kathim thungah hmuh pae boih; Izip prae thung boih ah pakhuh maeto doeh anghmat ai boeh.
And he caused a very strong wind to blow from the west, and, seizing the locusts, it cast them into the Red Sea. There remained not so much as one in all the parts of Egypt.
20 Toe Angraeng mah Faro to palungthahsak toengtoeng vop pongah, Israel kaminawk to prawt ai.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh; neither did he release the sons of Israel.
21 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Khoving mah Izip prae to khuk khoep hanah, van bangah na ban to payangh ah, tiah a naa.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Extend your hand into the sky. And let there be a darkness over the land of Egypt, so dense that they may be able to feel it.”
22 To pongah Mosi mah van bangah ban to payangh; to naah kathah parai khoving mah Izip prae to ni thumto thung khuk khoep.
And Moses extended his hand into the sky. And there came a horrible darkness in the entire land of Egypt for three days.
23 Maeto hoi maeto ang hnuh o thai ai moe, ni thumto thung naa ah doeh caeh o thai ai; toe Israel kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah loe aanghaih to oh.
No one saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was. But wherever the sons of Israel were living, there was light.
24 To naah Faro mah Mosi to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Caeh oh loe Angraeng to bok oh; nongpata hoi nawktanawk doeh caeh o boih ah; tuunawk hoi maitawnawk khue to caeh o taak ah, tiah a naa.
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Go, sacrifice to the Lord. Only let your sheep and herds remain behind. Your little ones may go with you.”
25 Toe Mosi mah anih khaeah, Kaicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih hoi hmuen paekhaih ka sak o haih hanah moi hoi hmuennawk to na paek ah.
Moses said: “You must also permit us victims and holocausts, which we may offer to the Lord our God.
26 Ka pacah o ih moinawk doeh ka caeh o haih han; maeto doeh ka caeh o taak mak ai; to moinawk loe kaimacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to bok hanah ka patoh o han; to ahmuen ka pha o ai karoek to, kaimacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to kawbaktih moi hoiah maw ka bok o han, tito ka panoek o ai vop, tiah a naa.
All the flocks shall travel with us. Not one hoof of them shall remain behind. For they are necessary for the worship of the Lord our God, especially since we do not know what ought to be immolated, until we arrive at the very place.”
27 Toe Angraeng mah Faro palungthahsak pongah, nihcae to caehsak han koeh ai.
But the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to release them.
28 Faro mah Mosi khaeah, Ka hmaa hoi tacawt ah, kai tongh hanah angzo let hmah lai ah! Ka mikhmai na hnuk lethaih ni loe, na duekhaih niah om tih boeh, tiah a naa.
And Pharaoh said to Moses: “Withdraw from me, and beware that you no longer see my face. On whatever day you will appear in my sight, you shall die.”
29 Mosi mah, Na thuih ih lok loe hoih; na hmaa ah kam tueng let mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
Moses responded: “So be it, just as you have said. I will no longer see your face.”
