But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”

God spoke to Moses and told him, “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 revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’
4 Nihcae angvin ah oh o haih, nihcae khaeah Kanaan prae to paek hanah, nihcae hoi lokmaihaih ka sak boeh.
I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.

In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.

So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy 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.
I will make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.

I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”
9 Hae lok hae Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih pae; toe palungboeng o, tamna ah ohhaih nung parai pongah tahngai pae o ai.
Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.
