Sunglatnah 11

1 BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh so neh Egypt soah tloh pakhat ka khuen pueng ni. Te phoeiah nangmih te he lamloh n'hlah vetih n'tueih vaengah khaw a boeih hil nangmih te he lamloh m'haek rhoe n'haek ni.

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I will cause one more disaster to strike the king of Egypt and all his people [MTY]. After that, he will let you leave. In fact, he will expel you all.

2 Pilnam hna ah thui pah laeh. Te daengah ni ngun hnopai neh sui hnopai he tongpa loh a hui taengah, huta long khaw amah hui taengah a hoe thai eh.

So now speak to all the [Israeli] people. Tell them to ask all their [Egyptian] neighbors, both men and women, to give them some silver and gold jewelry.”

3 BOEIPA loh pilnam te Egypt mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la a khueh. Moses khaw Egypt kho kah Pharaoh sal mikhmuh neh pilnam mikhmuh ah hlang tanglue la bahoeng a poek.

Yahweh made the Egyptians highly respect the Israeli people. In particular, the Egyptian officials and all [the rest of] the people considered Moses/me to be a very great man.

4 Te dongah Moses loh, “BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Khoyin pathung ah Egypt khui la ka pawk ni.

Then Moses/I [went to the king and] said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘About midnight [tonight] I will go throughout Egypt,

5 Te vaengah Egypt Egypt kho kah caming boeih tah, a ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol Pharaoh caming lamloh kuelhsum taengah aka ngol salnu caming neh rhamsa caming boeih te duek ni.

and I will cause all the firstborn/oldest [sons] to die. That will include your oldest son, the oldest sons of the slave women who grind grain, [and the oldest sons of everyone else]. I will also kill the oldest males of the Egyptians’ livestock.

6 Egypt kho tom ah pangngawlnah bahoeng om ni. Te bang te om vai pawt tih te bang te koep khoep mahpawh.

When that happens, people all over Egypt will wail loudly. They have never wailed like that before, and they will never wail like that again.

7 Tedae Israel ca boeih taengah tah ui long pataeng hlang neh rhamsa te a ol neh naak mahpawh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh Egypt laklo neh Israel laklo ah a hoep tila na ming uh eh.

But among the Israeli people [it will be so quiet that] not even a dog will bark! Then you will know for sure that I, Yahweh, distinguish [how I act toward] the Egyptians and [how I act toward] the Israeli people.

8 Na sal rhoek boeih he kai taengah ha suntla uh vetih, 'Namah neh na kho kung kah pilnam boeih te khuen,” aka ti ham ka taengah a bakop uh daengah ni ka nong eh?,” a ti nah tih Pharaoh taeng lamloh thintoek thinling neh nong.

Then all these officials of yours will come and bow down before me and will say, “Please get out [of Egypt], you and all the Israeli people!”’ After that, I will leave Egypt!” [After Moses/I said that], he/I very angrily left the king.

9 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Egypt kho ah kai kah kopoekrhai te ping sak ham ni Pharaoh loh nangmih rhoi ol a hnatun pawt eh?,” a ti nah.

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king will not pay any attention to what you say. The result will be that I will perform more plagues in the land of Egypt.”

10 Moses neh Aaron loh kopoekrhai cungkuem he Pharaoh mikhmuh ah a saii rhoi tangloeng dae Pharaoh lungbuei te BOEIPA loh a moem pah pueng dongah Israel ca te a khohmuen lamloh hlah pawh.

Aaron and Moses/I performed all these miracles in front of the king, but Yahweh made the king stubborn, and he did not let the Israeli people leave his country.
