< Sunglatnah 3 >

1 Moses tah a masae, Midian khosoih Jethro kah boiva aka luem puei la om. Te vaengah boiva te khosoek haellaa hmaithawn hatah Pathen kah tlang Horeb la pawk.
Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb.
2 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawnte anih taengah tangpuem khui lamkah hmairhong hmai neha phoe pah. A sawt vaengah tangpuemte hmai loha dom dae tangpuemte tlum pawh.
The LORD’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burnt with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 Te dongah Moses loh, “Ka nong vetih a hmuethma tanglue he ka hmu lah eh. Balae tih tangpuem ke a ung pawh,” a ti.
Moses said, “I will go now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”
4 Hmuh hamla a nong te BOEIPA loh a hmuh. Te dongah Pathen loh anih te tangpuem khui lamkah a khue tih, “Moses, Moses,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni he ue,” a ti nah.
When the LORD saw that he came over to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!” He said, “Here I am.”
5 Te vaengah, “Hela ha mop boeh. Na khokhomte na kho dong lamloh dul dae, a soah na pai thil hmuen he hmuencim khohmuen ni,” a ti nah.
He said, “Don’t come close. Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”
6 Te phoeiah, “Kai tah na pa Pathen, Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen neh Jakob kah Pathen ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Moses loh a maelhmai a thuh tih Pathen te paelki ham khaw a rhih.
Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.
7 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Egypt ah ka pilnam kah phacipphabaem te ka hmuh rhoe ka hmuh coeng tih anih aka tueihno mikhmuh kah a pangngawlnah te ka yaak. Te phoeiah a nganboh te ka ming coeng.
The LORD said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
8 Egypt kut lamloh anih huul ham nehte khohmuen lamloh khohmuen then neh hubung khuila, suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen la, Kanaan neh Khitti, Amori neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi hmuen la thak ham ka suntla coeng.
I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
9 Israel carhoek pangngawlnah loh kai taengla ha pawk coeng tih amih aka nen Egypt kah nennah khaw ka hmuh coeng he.
Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Pharaoh taengla nang kan tueih coeng dongah cet lamtah ka pilnam Israel ca rhoek te Egypt lamloh khuen laeh,” a ti nah.
Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
11 Tedae Moses loh Pathen te, “Pharaoh taengla ka caeh ham neh Egypt lamloh Israel ca rhoek khuen ham khaw kai tah unim?” a ti nah.
Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
12 Te vaengah, “Nang taengah rhep ka om vetih he he nang ham miknoek coeng ni. Kai loh nang kan tueih coeng tih pilnam te Egypt lamloh na khuen vaengah he tlang ah Pathen te thothueng thil uh,” a ti nah.
He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
13 Tedae Moses loh Pathen taengah, “Israel carhoek taengla ka pawk tih amih te, 'Na pa rhoek kah Pathen loh nangmih taengla kai n'tueih,’ ka tinah vaengah kai te, 'A ming ta?' ti uh koinih amih taengah balae ka thui eh? ' a ti nah.
Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what should I tell them?”
14 Pathen loh Moses taengah, “Ka om bangla ka om coeng,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “He Israel ca rhoek te, 'Akaom long ni nangmih taengla kai n'tueih,’ ti nah,” a ti.
God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
15 Te phoeiah Pathen loh Moses te, “He he Israel carhoek taengah, 'Na pa rhoek kah Pathen, Abraham kah Pathen, Isaak Pathen, Jakob Pathen BOEIPA loh kai he nangmih taengla n'tueih,’ ti nah. He tah kumhal kah kai ming ham neh Cadilcahma kah cadilcahma taengah kai poekkoepnah ni.
God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
16 Cet lamtah Israel kah patongrhoek te coi laeh. Te phoeiah amih te, “Na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPAte kai taengah phoe coeng. Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob kah Pathen loh, 'Nangmih neh nangmih taengah Egypt kaha saii te ka hip rhoe ka hip coeng.
Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.
17 Te dongah ni nangmih te Egypt kah phacipphabaem lamloh Kanaan neh Khitti, Amori neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi khohmuen la, suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen la kang khuen eh ka ti coeng.
I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’
18 Te vaengah na ol tea hnatun uh bitni. Namah neh Israel kah a hamca rhoek te Egypt manghai taengla cet uh. Te phoeiah anih te, 'Hebrew kah Pathen BOEIPA loh kaimih he m'mah coeng. Te dongah hnin thum long caeh kah khosoek ah BOEIPA ka Pathen te ka nawn mai pawn eh?,’ ti nah.
They will listen to your voice. You shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD, our God.’
19 Tedaea tlungluen kut nen pawt atahna caeh ham khaw Egypt manghai loh nangmih m'pae mahpawh tila ka ming.
I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 Te dongah ka kut he ka hlah vetih Egypt te ka ngawn ni. Kamah kah khobaerhambae cungkuem neh a khui ah ka saii daengah ni nangmih te n'tueih pueng eh.
I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do amongst them, and after that he will let you go.
21 Pilnam he Egypt mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka khueh vetihna caeh uh vaengah khaw kuttling la na cet uh mahpawh.
I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.
22 Te dongah huta loh a imben taeng neh a im kah aka bakuep taengah ngun hnopai neh sui hnopai khaw, himbai khaw hoe saeh. Te phoeiah tah na capa rhoek so neh na canu rhoek pum dongla khueh uh lamtah Egypt kah te huul pa uh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
But every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing. You shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”
