And the Lord said to Moses, Now you will see what I am about to do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand he will be forced to let them go, driving them out of his land because of my outstretched arm.

2 Sithaw mah Mosi khaeah, Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh;

And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh:

3 Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob khaeah, Lensawk Sithaw ah kang phong pae; toe ka hmin JEHOVAH hoiah nihcae khaeah kang phong pae ai.

I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

4 Nihcae angvin ah oh o haih, nihcae khaeah Kanaan prae to paek hanah, nihcae hoi lokmaihaih ka sak boeh.

And I made an agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their wanderings.

5 To pacoengah, Izip kaminawk mah tamna ah suek o ih, Israel kaminawk hanghaih lok to ka thaih naah, ka sak ih lokmaihaih to ka poek.

And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke; and I have kept in mind my agreement.

6 To pongah Israel kaminawk khaeah, Kai loe ANGRAENG ah ka oh; Izip kaminawk ih hmuenzit phawhhaih thung hoiah nangcae to kang loih o sak han; nihcae ih tamna ah ohhaih thung hoiah kang loih o sak moe, ban ka payangh pacoengah, thacak lokcaekhaih hoiah nangcae to kang loih o sak han.

Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.

7 Kami maeto ah kaimah khaeah kang lak o han, Kai loe nangcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han; to naah Kai loe nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw, Izip kaminawk hmuenzit phawhhaih thung hoi zaehoikung ah ka oh, tiah na panoek o tih.

And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God; and you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, who takes you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

8 Kai mah Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob khaeah ban ka payangh moe, paek han lokkam ih prae thungah, kang caeh o sak han; to prae to nangcae hanah qawk ah kang paek han; Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.

And I will be your guide into the land which I made an oath to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for your heritage: I am Yahweh.

9 Hae lok hae Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih pae; toe palungboeng o, tamna ah ohhaih nung parai pongah tahngai pae o ai.

And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, but they gave no attention to him, because of the grief of their spirit and the cruel weight of their work.

And the Lord said to Moses,

11 a prae thung hoi Israel kaminawk tacawtsak hanah, Faro khaeah caeh ah loe, thui paeh, tiah a naa.

Go in and say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he is to let the children of Israel go out of his land.
