Sunglatnah 7
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te, “So lah, nangte Pharaoh taengah Pathen la kang khueh tih na maya Aaronte nang kah tonghma la om coeng.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen [carefully]. [Just like I enabled prophet to speak my messages], I will cause the king [to consider that] you are like a god, and that Aaron is like a prophet.
2 Nang kang uen boeih te namah loh thui lamtah na maya Aaron loh Pharaoh taengah thui saeh. Te vaengah Israel carhoek te a khohmuen lamloha hlah bitni.
You must tell everything I command you [to tell to your older] brother Aaron, and he will tell that to the king. He must tell the king to let the Israeli people leave his land.
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 make the king stubborn [IDM]. As a result, even though I perform many kinds of (miracles/terrifying things) [DOU] [here] in Egypt,
4 Te lalah nang ol te Pharaoh loh hnatun pawt cakhaw ka kut he Egypt soah ka hlah ni. Te vaengah tholhphu tangluea paek rhangneh ka pilnam Israel ca Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka caempuei la ka khuen ni.
the king will not pay any attention to what you say. Then I will punish [MTY] the people of Egypt [MTY] very severely [MTY], and I will lead/bring the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
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.
Then, when I show my great power [MTY] to the Egyptian people and bring the Israeli people out from among them, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
6 A saii vaengah khaw BOEIPA kah a uen banglam ni Moses neh Aaron loh amih taengah a saii rhoi.
Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh told them/us to do. They/We [went and spoke to the king].
7 Pharaoh taengah a voek rhoi vaengah he Moses te kum sawmrhet lo ca tih Aaron te kum sawmrhet kum thum lo ca coeng.
At that time, Moses/I was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 years old.
8 BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron tea voek tih,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
9 “Pharaoh loh nangmih te m'voek tih, 'Nangmih kah kopoekrhai tueng sak,’ a ti. Te vaengah Aaron te,’ Na conghol te khuen laeh. Te phoeiah Pharaoh mikhmuh ah tloeng lamtah tuihnam la poeh bitni,” a ti nah.
“If the king says to you, ‘Prove [that God sent] you by performing a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Throw your stick down in front of the king, in order that it may become a snake.’”
10 Te dongah Moses neh Aaronte Pharaoh taengah cet rhoi tih BOEIPA loh a uen vanbanglaa saii rhoi. Te vaengah Aaron loh a conghol te Pharaoh mikhmuh neh a sal rhoek mikhmuh aha voeih pah tih tuihnam la poeh.
So Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and did what Yahweh had commanded [them/us to do]. Aaron threw his stick down in front of the king and his officials, and it became a snake.
11 Pharaoh long khaw hlangcueih neh hlangbirhoek tea khue. Amih Egypt hmayuep rhoek long khaw amamih kah hmaitak neh pheka saii uh.
Then the king summoned his sorcerers and men who performed magic. They did the same thing, using their magic.
12 Hlang loh a conghol tah a voeih uh tih tuihnam la poeh ngawn dae Aaron kah conghol loh amih kah conghol tea dolh pah.
They all threw down their sticks, and they became snakes. But Aaron’s stick, [which had become a snake], swallowed up all their sticks!
13 Te phoeiah Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah mangkhak pueng tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], just as Yahweh had predicted, and he would not pay attention to [what Aaron and Moses/I said].
14 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah thah tih pilnam te hlah hama aal.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king is very stubborn [IDM]. He refuses to allow [my] people to go.
15 Pharaoh te mincang aha paan rhoi. Tui taenglaa 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 him as he is going down to the [Nile] River [to bathe]. Wait for him at the riverbank. [When he comes out of the water, show] him the stick, the one which became 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.
Say to him, ‘Yahweh God, the one [we] Hebrews [worship], sent me to you to tell you to let my people go, in order that they may worship him in the desert. [We told you that], but you have not paid any attention to it.
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.
[So now] Yahweh says this: “This is the way you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. Watch this: I am going to strike the water that is in the Nile [River] with the stick that is in my hand. [When I do that], the water will become blood (OR, [red like] blood [MTY]).
18 Sokko kah nga te duek vetih sokko te rhim ni. Sokko lamkah tuia ok ham vaengah Egypt rhoek te khobing uh ni,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
Then the fish in the Nile [River] will die, and the [water in] the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the Nile River.”’”
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.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[When you are talking to the king], say to Aaron, ‘Hold your stick out [as though you were holding it] over the water in Egypt—over the rivers, the canals, the ponds, and over the pools of water, in order that [all of it] may become [red like] blood.’ When Aaron does that, there will be blood throughout Egypt, even in wooden jars and in stone jars.”
20 Moses neh Aaron loh BOEIPA kah a uen banglaa saii rhoi. Conghol tea thueng tih Pharaoh mikhmuh neh a sal rhoek mikhmuh ah sokko kah tui tea boh. Te vaengah sokko kah tui boeihte thii la poeh.
So Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. As the king and his officials were watching, Aaron lifted up his stick and then struck the water in the Nile [River] with it. And all the water in the river turned [red like] 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.
Then all the fish died. And the water stank, with the result that the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. Everywhere in Egypt [the water] became [red like] blood.
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 men who performed magic did the same thing using their magic. So the king remained stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/I said, just as Yahweh had predicted.
23 Pharaoh te mael tih amah im laa pawk phoeiah tah he he a lungbueiah dueh pawh.
The king turned and went back to his palace, and he did not think any more about it [IDM].
24 Sokko tui te ok hama coeng pawt dongah, ok ham tuite Egypt pum loh sokko kaepvaiah a too.
The Egyptians [HYP] dug [into the ground] near the Nile [River] to get water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
25 BOEIPA loh sokkoa ngawn te ahnukah hnin rhiha cup sak.
(One week/Seven days) passed after Yahweh caused the water in the Nile [River to become red like blood].
