And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
2 Tedae hlah ham na aal atah na khorhi boeih ah bukak kan yok sak coeng ne.
But if thou wilt not let them go behold I will strike all thy coasts with frogs.
3 Bukak te sokko ah kah vetih ha luei ni. Te vaengah na im khui neh imhman kah na thingkong dongah, na baiphaih dongah, na sal im khui neh na pilnam soah, na tapkhuel khui neh na vaidambael khuila kun ni.
And the river shall bring forth an abundance of frogs: which shall come up, and enter into thy house, and thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and in the houses of thy servants, and to thy people, and into thy ovens, and into the remains of thy meats;

And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand upon the streams and upon the rivers and the pools, and bring forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
6 Te dongah Aaron loh a kut te Egypt tui soah a thueng. Te vaengah bukak ha luei tih Egypt khohmuen te a khuk.
And Aaron stretched forth his hand upon the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

But Pharao called Moses and Aaron and said to them: Pray ye to the Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
9 Te phoeiah Moses loh Pharaoh te, “Kai ham mah hoep dae. Nang ham neh na sal rhoek ham, na pilnam ham khaw, bukak te namah neh na im lamloh a hnawt tih sokko ah dawk a om ham me vaengah lae thangthui eh?” a ti nah.
And Moses said to Pharao: Set me a time when I shall pray for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs may be driven away from thee and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people: and may remain only in the river.
10 “Thangvuen ah,” a ti nah dongah, “Na ol bangla kaimih kah Pathen Yahweh bang a om pawt khaw na ming van bitni.
And he answered: Tomorrow. But he said: I will do according to thy word; that thou mayst know that there is none like to the Lord our God.
11 Te vaengah bukak te nang lamkah neh na im lamlong khaw, na sal rhoek taeng lamkah neh na pilnam taeng lamloh nong vetih sokko ah ni dawk a om eh?,” a ti nah.
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people; and shall remain only in the river.
12 Te phoeiah Moses neh Aaron te Pharaoh taeng lamloh nong tih Pharaoh sokah a khueh olka, bukak kawng te Moses loh BOEIPA taengah a pang pah.
And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao: and Moses cried to the Lord for the promise, which he had made to Pharao concerning the frogs.
13 Moses kah ol bangla BOEIPA loh a saii dongah bukak te im ah khaw, vongup ah khaw, lohma ah khaw duek.
And the Lord did according to the word of Moses: and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields:
14 Te te a hlom a hlom la a hmoek uh tih khohmuen tom ah rhim.
And they gathered them together into immense heaps, and the land was corrupted.
15 A hmuh daengah Pharaoh te hilhoemnah a om pah. Tedae a lungbuei a thangpom tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
And Pharao seeing that rest was given, hardened his own heart, and did not hear them, as the Lord had commanded.
16 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Aaron te, 'Na conghol thueng lamtah diklai kah laipi te taam. Te vaengah Egypt khohmuen boeih ah pilhlip la om ni, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy rod, and strike the dust of the earth: and may there be sciniphs in all the land of Egypt.

And they did so. And Aaron stretched forth his hand, holding the rod: and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came sciniphs on men and on beasts: all the dust of the earth was turned into sciniphs through all the land of Egypt.
18 Tedae hmayuep rhoek long khaw pilhlip om sak ham a thaai neh a saii uh van tangloeng. Tedae pilhlip te hlang dong neh rhamsa dongah khaw om thai pawh.
And the magicians with their enchantments practiced in like manner, to bring forth sciniphs, and they could not and there were sciniphs as well on men as on beasts.
19 Te vaengah ah hmayuep rhoek loh Pharaoh taengah, “Pathen kah kutdawn la he,” a ti uh. Tedae Pharaoh lungbuei tah ning tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
And the magicians said to Pharao This is the finger of God. And Pharao heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them, as the Lord had commanded.

The Lord also said to Moses: Arise early, and stand before Pharao: for he will go forth to the waters: and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.
21 Tedae ka pilnam te nan hlah pawt atah namah so neh na sal rhoek soah khaw, na pilnam so neh na im ah khaw pil ka tueih coeng ne. Te dongah pil te Egypt imkhui neh amih kah a diklai dongah khaw bae ni.
But if thou wilt not let them go, behold I will send in upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy houses all kind of flies: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with flies of divers kinds, and the whole land wherein they shall be.
22 Tedae te khohnin ah Goshen khohmuen kah ka pilnam te ka hoep vetih a khuikah aka om te pil om pah mahpawh. Te daegah ni diklai hman ah kai he BOEIPA la nan ming eh.
And I will make the land of Gessen wherein my people is, wonderful in that lay, so that flies shall not be there: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 Ka pilnam laklo neh na pilnam laklo ah tlannah ka khueh vetih miknoek he thangvuen ah thoeng bitni,’ ti nah,” a ti.
And I will put a division between my people and thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
24 BOEIPA loh a saii tangkhuet tih Pharaoh im khui neh a sal im neh Egypt khohmuen boeih ah pil tlung ha pawk. Pil dongah mah khohmuen khaw poci.
And the Lord did so. And there came a very grievous swarm of flies into he houses of Pharao and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt: and the land was corrupted by this kind of flies.
25 Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Moses neh Aaron te a khue tih, “Cet uh lamtah khohmuen ah na Pathen te nawn uh laeh,” a ti nah.
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go, and sacrifice to your God in this land.
26 Tedae Moses loh, “Egypt kah tueilaehkoi dongah he he saii ham a thuem moenih. Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA ham ka nawn uh vaengah Egypt lamkah tueilaehkoi te ka nawn uh koinih amih mikhmuh ah kaimih n'dae uh mahpawt nim?
And Moses said: It cannot be so: for we shall sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God: now if we kill those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.
27 Kaimih n'uen bangla hnin thum long caeh kah khosoek ah kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA te ka nawn uh eh,” a ti nah.
We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness: and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
28 Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh, “Kai loh nangmih kan hlah bitni, khosoek ah na Pathen BOEIPA te nawn tangloeng. Tedae a hla, hla la cet uh boel lamtah kai ham khaw thangthui uh,” a ti nah.
And Pharao said: I will let you go to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness: but go no farther: pray for me.
29 Te vaengah Moses loh, “Nang taeng lamloh ka nong vetih BOEIPA taengah ka thangthui bitni. Pil khaw Pharaoh neh a sal rhoek taeng lamloh, a pilnam taeng lamloh thangvuen ah nong bitni ne. Tedae Pharaoh te omsaa ham koei boel saeh, pilnam te BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla tueih pawt ve,” a ti nah.
And Moses said: I will go out from thee, and will pray to the Lord: and the flies shall depart from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people tomorrow: but do not deceive any more, in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.
30 Te phoeiah Moses te Pharaoh taeng lamloh nong tih BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
So Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to the Lord.
31 Moses kah ol bangla BOEIPA loh a saii dongah pil te Pharaoh taeng lamkah neh a sal rhoek taeng lamloh, a pilnam taeng lamloh nong tih pakhat khaw om pawh.
And he did according to his word: and he took away the flies from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people: there was not left so much as one.
32 Tedae tahae tue ah khaw Pharaoh te a lungbuei a thangpom tih pilnam te tueih pawh.
And Pharao’s heart was hardened, so that neither this time would he let the people go.
