Exodus 7
1 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Khenah, Faro hmaa ah Sithaw baktiah kang suek boeh, nam ya Aaron loe nang ih tahmaa ah om tih.
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 Kang paek ih loknawk boih to thui ah; Faro mah a prae thung hoi Israel kaminawk tacawtsak hanah, nam ya Aaron mah Faro khaeah lok na thui pae tih.
You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
3 Faro ih palung to kam taaksak moe, Izip prae thungah dawnrai hmuen hoi angmathaih to ka pungsak han.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 To pongah Faro mah na lok to tahngai mak ai; to pacoengah Izip nuiah ban ka phok moe, thacak lokcaekhaih hoiah kaimah ih misatuh kaminawk hoi Israel caanawk to Izip prae thung hoi ka tacawtsak han.
But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgements.
5 Izip nuiah ban ka payangh moe, nihcae salak hoiah Israel kaminawk to ka zaehhoih naah, Izip kaminawk mah kai loe Angraeng ni, tito panoek o tih.
The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from amongst them.”
6 Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah Mosi hoi Aaron mah sak hoi.
Moses and Aaron did so. As the LORD commanded them, so they did.
7 Faro khaeah lokthuih hoi naah, Mosi loe saning qui tazetto oh boeh moe, Aaron loe saning qui tazet, thumto oh boeh.
Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Angraeng mah Mosi hoi Aaron khaeah,
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 Faro mah nang hnik khaeah lokthuih naah, anih mah Dawnrai hmuen to sah hoi ah, tiah na thui nahaeloe, Aaron khaeah, Nangmah ih cunghet to la ah loe, Faro hmaa ah va ah, tiah thui paeh; to naah cunghet to pahui ah angcoeng tih, tiah a naa.
“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”
10 To pongah Mosi hoi Aaron loe Faro khaeah caeh hoi moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak hoi; Aaron mah angmah ih cunghet to Faro hoi a tamnanawk hmaa ah vah pae; to naah cunghet to pahui ah angcoeng.
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as the LORD had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Faro mah angmah ih palungha kaminawk hoi lungh aah kop kaminawk to kawk: miklet kop kaminawk mah doeh miklet kophaih hoiah a sak o toeng.
Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
12 Nihcae mah angmacae ih cunghet to vah o naah, pahui ah angcoeng boih; toe Aaron ih cunghet mah nihcae ih cunghet to pa-aeh pae boih.
For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Toe Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Faro loe palungthah moe, nihnik mah thuih ih lok to tahngai pae ai.
Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
14 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Faro loe palungthah pongah, kaminawk caehsak han koeh ai.
The LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
15 Khenah, Faro loe khawnthaw ah tui ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh, to naah anih khaeah caeh hoih; anih angzo ai naah vapui taengah zing hoi ah loe, pahui ah kangcoeng na ban ih cunghet to sin hoih.
Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.
16 To naah anih khaeah, Hebrunawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah nang khaeah lokthuih han ih ang patoeh; praezaek ah kai bok o hanah, kai ih kaminawk to tacawtsak ah, tiah ang thuisak, toe vaihi khoek to lok na tahngai ai.
You shall tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you haven’t listened.”
17 Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Ka ban ah kaom cunghet hoi vapui to ka boh moe, athii ah angcoeng naah, kai loe Angraeng ni, tito na panoek tih.
The LORD says, “In this you shall know that I am the LORD. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 To naah vapui thung ih tahnganawk to dueh o boih ueloe, vapui to ahmui sae tih; Izip kaminawk loe tui nae o thai mak ai, tiah a thuih, tiah ang thuihsak, tiah a naa.
The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.”’”
19 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Aaron khaeah, Cunghet to lak hanah thui paeh loe, Izip prae ih tuinawk, vacongnawk hoi vapuinawk, kangbuem tuinawk hoi pauem ih tuilinawk nuiah na ban to payangh ah, tuinawk loe athii ah angcoeng o boih tih; Izip prae thung boih ah athii to om ueloe, thing sabae hoi thlung hoiah sak ih laom thung khoek to athii to om tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
20 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi hoi Aaron mah sak hoi; Faro hoi anih ih tamnanawk hmaa ah, angmah ih cunghet to phok moe, vapui tui to a boh; to naah vapui tuinawk loe athii ah angcoeng boih.
Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 Vapui thung ih tanganawk loe duek o boih; vapui tui loe ahmui set parai pongah, Izip kaminawk mah tui to nae o thai ai; Izip prae thung boih ah athii to oh.
The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Toe Izip prae thung ih miklet sah kop kaminawk doeh, miklet kophaih hoiah to baktih hmuen to a sak o toeng; to pongah Faro loe palungthah aep aep; Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi hoi Aaron mah thuih ih lok to tahngai pae ai.
The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
23 Faro loe angqoi moe, nihnik to angmah im ah caehtaak; nihnik mah sak ih hmuen to tiah doeh sah pae ai.
Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
24 Vapui tui to nae o thai ai boeh pongah, Izip kaminawk boih mah, vapui taengah naek han tui to takaeh o.
All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
25 Angraeng mah vapui to boh pacoengah, ni sarihto laemhsak.
Seven days were fulfilled, after the LORD had struck the river.
