< 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;
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs among them,
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 that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt [Abode of slavery], and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Adonai.”
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.
Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what Adonai, the God of the Hebrews [Immigrants], says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may abad ·serve· me.
4 Na tacawtsak ai nahaeloe, khenah, khawnbang ah na prae thung boih ah pakhuh kang tacawtsak han;
Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,
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 surface of the earth, so that one won’t be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.
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.
Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]; as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out 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.
Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may abad ·serve· Adonai, their God. Don’t you yet know that Egypt [Abode of slavery] is destroyed?”
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.
Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, abad ·serve· Adonai your God; but who are those who will 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 [Drawn out] said, “We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Adonai.”
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!
He said to them, “Adonai be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.
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.
Not so! Go now you who are men, and abad ·serve· Adonai; for that is what you desire!” They were divorced from Pharaoh’s presence.
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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”
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.
Moses [Drawn out] stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and Adonai brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought 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.
The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and rested in all the borders of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be again.
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.
For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
16 Faro mah Mosi hoi Aaron to karangah kawk moe, Nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw hoi nanghnik nuiah zaehaih ka sak moeng boeh.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] in haste, and he said, “I have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· against Adonai 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.
Now therefore please forgive my habitual sin ·missing the mark· again, and pray to Adonai your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”
18 Mosi mah Faro to tacawt taak moe, Angraeng khaeah lawk a thuih.
He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Adonai.
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.
Adonai turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea]. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
20 Toe Angraeng mah Faro to palungthahsak toengtoeng vop pongah, Israel kaminawk to prawt ai.
But Adonai hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he didn’t let the children of Israel [God prevails] go.
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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], even darkness which may be felt.”
22 To pongah Mosi mah van bangah ban to payangh; to naah kathah parai khoving mah Izip prae to ni thumto thung khuk khoep.
Moses [Drawn out] stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] 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.
They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel [God prevails] had light in their dwellings.
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.
Pharaoh called to Moses [Drawn out], and said, “Go, abad ·serve· Adonai. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also 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 [Drawn out] said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh 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.
Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]; and we don’t know with what we must serve Adonai, until we come there.”
27 Toe Angraeng mah Faro palungthahsak pongah, nihcae to caehsak han koeh ai.
But Adonai hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he wouldn’t let them go.
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.
Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face 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 [Drawn out] said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”
