Exodus 8
1 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Faro khaeah caeh loe, Angraeng mah, Praezaek ah kai bok hanah, kai ih kaminawk to tacawtsak lai ah.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
2 Nihcae to na tacawtsak ai nahaeloe, Khenah, na prae thung boih ukong hoiah raihaih kang paek han;
But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
3 pop parai ukongnawk loe vapui thung hoiah tacawt o ueloe, na ohhaih siangpahrang im, na iihhhaih ahmuen, na iihhaih imthung, na tamnanawk ih imthung, nangmah kaminawk ih imthung, buh laom thung hoi takaw naephaih laom thung khoek to daw o tih.
The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.
4 Nangmah hoi na tamnanawk, nangmah kaminawk ih takpum nui boih ah ukongnawk to daw o tih, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
5 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Aaron hanah, Na ban ih cunghet to vacongnawk, vapui tuinawk hoi kangbuem tuinawk nuiah payangh ah loe, Izip prae boih ah ukongnawk to tacawtsak ah, tiah thuih pae han a naa.
And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.’”
6 To pongah Aaron mah Izip prae thung ih tuinawk nuiah a ban to payangh naah, ukongnawk to tacawt o moe, Izip prae thung boih ah koi o.
So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Toe miklet kop kaminawk mah doeh angmacae miklet kophaih hoiah to baktih hmuen to sak o moe, Izip prae thungah ukongnawk to tacawt o sak toeng.
But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.
8 To pacoengah Faro mah Mosi hoi Aaron to kawk moe, Angraeng mah kai hoi kaimah ih kaminawk khaeah kaom ukongnawk to lak let hanah, Angraeng khaeah lawkthui paeh; to tiah nahaeloe nang ih kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih to sak hanah, kang caeh o sak han, tiah a naa.
Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”
9 Mosi mah Faro khaeah, Ukongnawk loe vapui ah khue oh o moe, nangmah hoi na tamnanawk, nangmah ih kaminawk, nangmah im hoi nangmah kaminawk imthung ah kaom ukongnawk to dueksak hanah, lawk ka thuihaih atue to na pahoe paeh, tiah a naa.
Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”
10 Faro mah, Khawnbang ah soe, tiah a naa. Mosi mah Kaicae Angraeng Sithaw baktih mi doeh om ai, tiah na panoek thai hanah, na thuih ih lok baktiah om tih.
“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
11 Ukongnawk loe nangmah hoi na imnawk, na tamnanawk, nangmah ih kaminawk khae hoiah tacawt o boih tih, toe vapui ah khue ni om o tih boeh, tiah a naa.
The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
12 Mosi hoi Aaron mah Faro to caeh hoi taak pacoengah, Faro khae hoi ukongnawk anghmat o hanah, Mosi mah Sithaw khaeah lawkthuih.
After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.
13 Mosi mah hnik ih baktih toengah, Angraeng mah sak pae; imthung, avangnawk hoi lawknawk ah kaom ukongnawk loe duek o.
And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
14 Kadueh qok to nawnto tapop o pongah, prae thung boih ah ahmui set.
They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.
15 Toe hoikhang boeh, tiah Faro mah panoek naah, palungthahsak let moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi hoi Aaron ih lok to tahngai pae ai.
When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
16 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Aaron han, Na cunghet to payangh sak tahang ah loe, long ih maiphu to bopsak ah; to naah Izip prae thung boih ih maiphunawk to alung ah angcoeng tih, tiah a thuihsak.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”
17 To tiah a sak hoi. Aaron mah a ban ih cunghet to payangh tahang moe, long ih maiphu to boh; to naah kaminawk hoi moinawk nuiah alungh to oh; Izip prae thung boih ih maiphunawk loe alungh ah angcoeng.
This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
18 Toe Izip prae thung ih miklet kop kaminawk mah angmacae kophaih hoiah alungh ah angcoengsak hanah a sak o, toe angcoeng o sak thai ai; to pongah alungh loe kami hoi moinawk nui boih ah acuk o.
The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.
19 To pacoeng loe miklet kop kaminawk mah Faro khaeah, Hae hmuen loe Sithaw ih ban rang hoiah ni oh boeh, tiah a naa o. Toe Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Faro ih palung to thahsak toengtoeng vop pongah, nihnik mah thuih ih lok to tahngai pae ai.
“This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
20 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Khawnthaw ah angthawk ah loe, Faro vapui ah caeh naah anih to tongh hanah zing ah; Angraeng mah, Kai a bok o hanah, kai ih kaminawk to tacawtsak ah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a thuisak.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and when Pharaoh goes out to the water, stand before him and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
21 Kai ih kaminawk na tacawtsak ai nahaeloe, Khenah, nangmah hoi na tamnanawk, nangmah ih kami hoi na imthung ah, taksae to kang patoeh han; Izip kaminawk ih imthung boih ah taksae to koi tih, nihcae ohhaih long ah doeh taksae cing ah om tih.
But if you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground where they stand will be full of flies.
22 Toe Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah long um li ah na panoek o hanah, to na ni hoi kamtong kaimah ih kaminawk ohhaih Goshen to, kalah ta ah ka pahoe han, to ahmuen ah loe taksae roe om mak ai.
But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people live; no swarms of flies will be found there. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in the land.
23 Kai ih kami hoi nang ih kaminawk to ka tapraek han; hae dawnrai hmuen loe khawnbang ah om amtong tih, tiah a thuih, tiah thuih pae han a naa.
I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”
24 Angraeng mah to tiah hmuen to ohsak pongah, Faro siangpahrang ih im, a tamna ih im hoi Izip prae thung boih ah taksae to koi.
And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by swarms of flies.
25 To naah Faro mah Mosi hoi Aaron to kawk moe, Caeh oh loe, na Sithaw khaeah sak ih angbawnhaih to hae prae thungah sah oh, tiah a naa.
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”
26 Toe Mosi mah, To tiah loe amsoem mak ai; Kaicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, ka sak o ih angbawnhaih loe Izip kaminawk hanah panuet thok hmuen ah om tih; khenah, nangcae mikhnuk ah Izip kaminawk panuet thok ah angbawnhaih to ka sak o nahaeloe, thlung hoi na va o mak ai maw?
But Moses replied, “It would not be right to do that, because the sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. If we offer sacrifices that are detestable before the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
27 To pongah ni thumto caehhaih praezaek ah ka caeh o moe, ang thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kaicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, angbawnhaih to ka sak o han, tiah a naa.
We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”
28 Faro mah, Praezaek ah nangmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, angbawnhaih sak hanah kang caeh o sak han; toe kangthla ah caeh o hmah; vaihi kai hanah lawk na thui paeh, tiah a naa.
Pharaoh answered, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”
29 Mosi mah, Khenah, nang khae hoi ka tacawt pacoengah, khawnbang hoi kamtong, taksaenawk mah Faro hoi a tamnanawk, angmah ih kaminawk to tacawt taak hanah, Angraeng khaeah lawk ka thuih roep han; toe Israel kaminawk Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih sak o thai hanah, Faro mah na ling hmah nasoe loe, caehsak ai ah om hmah nasoe, tiah a naa.
“As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”
30 To pacoengah Mosi mah Faro to caehtaak moe, Angraeng khaeah lawk a thuih.
Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
31 Mosi mah hnik ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng mah sak pae; taksaenawk loe Faro hoi a tamnanawk, anih ih kaminawk khae hoiah tacawt o; to pacoeng hoiah loe taksae to om ai boeh.
and the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.
32 To nathuem ah doeh Faro loe palung thah vop moe, kaminawk to caehsak ai.
But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
