Sunglatnah 7
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te, “So lah, nang te Pharaoh taengah Pathen la kang khueh tih na maya Aaron te nang kah tonghma la om coeng.
The Lord told Moses, “Look, I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
2 Nang kang uen boeih te namah loh thui lamtah na maya Aaron loh Pharaoh taengah thui saeh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te a khohmuen lamloh a hlah bitni.
You are to repeat everything that I tell you to say, and your brother Aaron must repeat it to Pharaoh so that he will let the Israelites leave his country.
3 Tedae kai loh Pharaoh kah lungbuei te ka mangkhak sak vetih ka miknoek neh kai kah kopoekrhai he Egypt khohmuen ah ka ping sak ni.
But I will give Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and though I will perform many signs and wonders in Egypt, he won't listen to you.
4 Te lalah nang ol te Pharaoh loh hnatun pawt cakhaw ka kut he Egypt soah ka hlah ni. Te vaengah tholhphu tanglue a paek rhangneh ka pilnam Israel ca te Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka caempuei la ka khuen ni.
Then I will attack Egypt, imposing heavy punishments on them, and I will lead out by their tribes my people the Israelites.
5 Egypt te ka kut ka hlah thil tih Israel ca te amih khui lamloh ka khuen vaengah Egypt loh kai he BOEIPA la a ming uh bitni,” a ti nah.
In this way the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord—when I take action against Egypt and lead the Israelites out of the country.”
6 A saii vaengah khaw BOEIPA kah a uen banglam ni Moses neh Aaron loh amih taengah a saii rhoi.
Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered.
7 Pharaoh taengah a voek rhoi vaengah he Moses te kum sawmrhet lo ca tih Aaron te kum sawmrhet kum thum lo ca coeng.
Moses was eighty and Aaron was eighty-three when they went and spoke to Pharaoh.
8 BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
9 “Pharaoh loh nangmih te m'voek tih, ‘Nangmih kah kopoekrhai tueng sak,’ a ti ni. Te vaengah Aaron te, ‘Na conghol te khuen laeh. Te phoeiah Pharaoh mikhmuh ah tloeng lamtah tuihnam la poeh bitni,’” a ti nah.
“When Pharaoh asks you, ‘Why don't you perform a miracle, then?’ tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick and throw it down in front of Pharaoh,’ and it will turn into a snake.”
10 Te dongah Moses neh Aaron te Pharaoh taengah cet rhoi tih BOEIPA loh a uen vanbangla a saii rhoi. Te vaengah Aaron loh a conghol te Pharaoh mikhmuh neh a sal rhoek mikhmuh ah a voeih pah tih tuihnam la poeh.
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had ordered. Aaron threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it turned into a snake.
11 Pharaoh long khaw hlangcueih neh hlangbi rhoek te a khue. Amih Egypt hmayuep rhoek long khaw amamih kah hmaitak neh phek a saii uh.
But Pharaoh called in wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts.
12 Hlang loh a conghol tah a voeih uh tih tuihnam la poeh ngawn dae Aaron kah conghol loh amih kah conghol te a dolh pah.
Each of them threw down their walking sticks and they also turned into snakes, but Aaron's walking stick swallowed up all their walking sticks.
13 Te phoeiah Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah mangkhak pueng tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
But Pharaoh had a hard, stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't listen to them, as the Lord had predicted.
14 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah thah tih pilnam te hlah ham a aal.
The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh has a stubborn attitude—he's refusing to let the people go.
15 Pharaoh te mincang ah paan rhoi. Tui taeng la a pawk vaengah sokko soktaeng ah anih tong ham ana pai rhoi ne. Te vaengah rhul la aka poeh conghol te na kut dongah khuen rhoi.
So tomorrow morning go to Pharaoh as he walks down to the river. Wait to meet him on the bank of the Nile. Take with you the walking stick that turned into a snake.
16 Te phoeiah anih te, ‘Hebrew kah Pathen YAHWEH loh nang taengah kai he n'tueih tih, Ka pilnam te tueih lamtah khosoek ah kai ham thothueng uh saeh,’ a ti. Tedae tahae duela na hnatun moenih ko he.
Tell him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you, ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me in the desert. But you have not listened up until now.
17 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. ‘He nen ni kai he BOEIPA la na ming eh. Ka kut dongkah conghol neh sokko kah tui te ka boh vetih thii la poeh pawn ni he.
This is what the Lord is now telling you: This is how you will know that I am the Lord.’” “Watch! Using the walking stick I'm holding, I'm going to hit the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
18 Sokko kah nga te duek vetih sokko te rhim ni. Sokko lamkah tui a ok ham vaengah Egypt rhoek te khobing uh ni,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
The fish in the Nile will die, the river will smell, and the Egyptians won't be able to drink any of its water.”
19 BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Aaron te, ‘Na conghol khuen lamtah Egypt tui so neh a tuiva soah, a sokko so neh a tuibap ah, a tui tungnah boeih soah na kut thueng pah. Te vaengah thii la poeh vetih Egypt khohmuen tom ah thing khuikah neh lungto khuikah khaw thii la poeh ni,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick in your hand and hold it out over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers and canals and ponds and pools, so that they will turn to blood. There will be blood through all of Egypt, even in containers made of wood and stone.’”
20 Moses neh Aaron loh BOEIPA kah a uen bangla a saii rhoi. Conghol te a thueng tih Pharaoh mikhmuh neh a sal rhoek mikhmuh ah sokko kah tui te a boh. Te vaengah sokko kah tui boeih te thii la poeh.
Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered. While Pharaoh and all his officials watched, Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the water of the Nile. Immediately the whole river turned to blood!
21 Te vaengah sokko kah nga khaw duek tih sokko te rhim coeng. Te dongah Egypt rhoek loh sokko lamkah tui ok ham coeng voel pawh. Egypt khohmuen tom ah thii om.
The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so awful that the Egyptians could not drink its water. There was blood through all of Egypt!
22 Tedae Egypt hmayuep rhoek long khaw a tuisiduei neh a saii uh van. Te dongah Pharaoh kah lungbuei mangkhak tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. Pharaoh maintained his stubborn attitude and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
23 Pharaoh te mael tih amah im la a pawk phoeiah tah he he a lungbuei ah dueh pawh.
Pharaoh went back to his palace and didn't pay any attention to what had happened.
24 Sokko tui te ok ham a coeng pawt dongah, ok ham tui te Egypt pum loh sokko kaepvai ah a too.
All the Egyptians dug alongside the Nile because they couldn't drink its water.
25 BOEIPA loh sokko a ngawn te a hnukah hnin rhih a cup sak.
Seven days went by after the Lord hit the Nile.
