1 BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh te paan laeh, a khui ah ka miknoek ka khueh ham dongah ni amah lungbuei neh a sal rhoek kah lungbuei khaw ka thangpom sak.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants. I have done this to show these signs of my power among them.
2 Te daengah ni na ca rhoek neh na ca kah a ca hna dongah Egypt te ka poelyoe tih amih taengah ka miknoek ka khueh te na tae uh vetih tite kai he Yahweh la nan ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
I have also done this so that you may tell your children and grandchildren the things I have done, how I have harshly treated Egypt, and how I have given various signs of my power among them. In this way you will know that I am Yahweh.”
3 Te dongah Moses neh Aaron te Pharaoh taengah cet tih anih te, “Hebrew kah Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Me hil nim ka mikhmuh ah yalh ham na aal ve, ka pilnam te hlah lamtah kai ham thothueng uh saeh.
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says this: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go so that they may worship me.
4 Tedae ka pilnam te hlah ham na aal atah na khorhi la thangvuen ah kaisih kang khuen ni ne.
But if you refuse to let my people go, listen, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your land.
5 Te vaengah diklai hman he a thing vetih lai he tueng thai mahpawh. Rhael lamloh nangmih taengah aka sueng rhalyong hlangrhuel han caak vetih khohmuen ah nangmih ham aka duei thingkung boeih khaw a caak ni.
They will cover the surface of the ground so that no one will be able to see the earth. They will eat the remains of whatever escaped from the hail. They will also eat every tree that grows for you in the fields.
6 Namah im neh na sal boeih kah im ah khaw, Egypt pum kah im ah khaw bae ni. Diklai ah a om uh hnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela na pa rhoek neh na pa kah a napa rhoek loh a hmuh uh noek moenih,” a ti nah rhoi. Te phoeiah mael rhoi tih Pharaoh taeng lamloh nong rhoi.
They will fill your houses, those of all your servants, and those of all the Egyptians—something neither your father nor your grandfather ever saw, nothing ever seen since the day that they were on the earth to this present day.'” Then Moses left and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Te vaengah Pharaoh kah sal rhoek loh a taengah, “Me hil nim mamih taengah hlaeh la a om ve he. tongpa rhoek te tueih mai lamtah a Pathen Yaweh taengah thothueng uh saeh, Egypt a rhawp coeng he na ming hlan nim?” a ti uh.
Pharaoh's servants said to him, “How long will this man be a menace to us? Let the Israelites go so that they may worship Yahweh their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is destroyed?”
8 Te dongah Moses neh Aaron te Pharaoh taengla a mael puei uh tih amih rhoi te, “Cet uh lamtah na Pathen Yahweh taengah thothueng uh. Tedae ubang ubang lae a caeh eh?” a ti nah.
Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, who said to them, “Go worship Yahweh your God. But what people will go?”
9 Te phoeiah Moses loh, “Camoe neh patong khaw ka cet uh vetih, ka capa neh ka canu khaw, ka boiva neh ka saelhung neh ka BOEIPA kah khotue te ka paan uh ni,” a ti nah.
Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and our daughters. We will go with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a festival for Yahweh.”
10 Te phoeiah amih rhoi te, “BOEIPA te nangmih taengah om tangloeng saeh. Nangmih neh na camoe rhoek te kan hlah sitoe cakhaw na maelhmai ah boethae phaeng tueng.
Pharaoh said to them, “May Yahweh indeed be with you, if I ever let you go and your little ones go. Look, you have some evil in mind.
11 Te tlam moenih. Te te na hoe uh dongah tongpa rhoek te cet uh lamtah BOEIPA taengah thothueng uh laeh,” a ti nah tih amih rhoi te Pharaoh mikhmuh lamloh a haek.
No! Go, just the men among you, and worship Yahweh, for that is what you want.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Kaisih ham te Egypt khohmuen ah na kut thueng laeh. Te vaengah Egypt Khohmuen ah pongpa vetih rhael loh a hlun boeih neh khohmuen baelhing boeih te a caak bitni,” a ti nah.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand over the land of Egypt to the locusts, that they may attack the land of Egypt and eat every plant in it, everything that the hail has left.”
13 Te dongah Moses loh a conghol te Egypt khohmuen la a thueng. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh khothoeng yilh te khohmuen sola khohnin yung neh khoyin puet ah a thawn pah. Mincang a pha vaengah kanghawn yilh loh kaisih a khuen pah.
Moses reached out with his staff over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind over the land all that day and night. When it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts.
14 Kaisih khaw Egypt khohmuen tom ah van tih Egypt khorhi boeih ah bop. A mikhmuh ah tlung khungdaeng coeng tih te bang kaisih te ana om noek pawt tih te hnukah khaw om bal mahpawh.
The locusts went through all the land of Egypt and infested all parts of it. Never before had there been such a swarm of locusts in the land, and nothing like this will come after it.
15 Diklai hman te boeih a thing tih diklai khaw hmuep. Diklai baelhing boeih neh rhael loh a hlun thing thaih boeih te a caak. Te dongah thing hing neh lohma baelhing boeih tah Egypt khohmuen tom ah sueng voel pawh.
They covered the surface of the whole land so that it was darkened. They ate every plant in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Throughout all the land of Egypt, no living green plant remained, nor any tree or plant in the fields.
16 Te vaengah Pharaoh tah Moses neh Aaron te khue hamla tokthuet tih, “Na Pathen Yahweh teang neh nangmih taengah ka tholh coeng.
Then Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God and against you.
17 Te dongah ka tholhnah he phuei mai laeh. Na Pathen BOEIPA taengah vai mah thangthui rhoi lamtah dueknah he khaw kai taeng lamloh nong sak saeh,” a ti nah.
Now then, forgive my sin this time, and pray to Yahweh your God that he will take this death away from me.”
18 Te dongah Pharaoh taeng lamloh nong rhoi tih BOEIPA taengah a thangthui pah.
So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh.
19 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh khotlak yilh te bahoeng a tlungluen la a maelh tih kaisih te a khuen. Carhaek tuipuei la a yawn tih Egypt khorhi tom ah kaisih pakhat khaw hlun pawh.
Yahweh brought a very strong west wind that picked up the locusts and drove them into the Sea of Reeds; not a single locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
20 Tedae BOEIPA loh Pharaoh lungbuei te te a moem pah dongah Israel ca rhoek te hlah pawh.
But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go.
21 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Vaan la na kut thueng lamtah a hmuep loh Egypt khohmuen a tlak thil vaengah a hmuep te phatuem saeh,” a ti nah.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out with your hand toward the sky, so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness that may be felt.”
22 Te dongah Moses loh a kut te vaan la a thueng tih Egypt khohmuen boeih te khohmuep hmaisuep loh hnin thum a khuk.
Moses reached out with his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 Hlang loh a manuca khaw hmu pawt tih hlang he amah lamloh hnin thum khuiah thoo uh voel pawh. Tedae Israel ca boeih ham tah a tolrhum ah vangnah om.
No one could see anyone else; no one left his home for three days. However, all the Israelites had light in the place where they lived.
24 Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Moses te a khue tih, “Cet uh lamtah BOEIPA taengah thothueng uh. Tedae na boiva neh na saelhung te khueh lamtah na ca rhoek khaw namamih neh cet uh,” a ti nah.
Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go worship Yahweh. Even your families may go with you, but your flocks and herds must remain behind.”
25 Tedae Moses loh, “Namah long khaw kaimih kut ah hmueih neh hmueihhlutnah te nam paek uh daengah man ka Pathen Yahweh te ka nawn uh thai ve.
But Moses said, “You must also give us animals for sacrifices and burnt offerings so that we may sacrifice them to Yahweh our God.
26 Te dongah ka boiva khaw kamamih neh ka puei uh vetih a khomae pataeng hlun mahpawh. Kaimih kah Pathen Yahweh taengah thothueng ham vaengah te khui lamkah ni ka loh uh eh. Tedae te la ka pawk uh hlan atah BOEIPA taengah metla thothueng ham khaw ka ming uh moenih,” a ti.
Our cattle must also go with us; not a hoof of them may be left behind, for we must take them to worship Yahweh our God. For we do not know with what we must worship Yahweh until we arrive there.”
27 BOEIPA loh Pharaoh lungbuei te a moem pah dongah amih te hlah ham huem pawh.
But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Te dongah anih te Pharaoh loh, “Kai taeng lamloh nong laeh, nang te ngaithuen, ka maelhmai hmuh ham koei voel boeh, ka maelhmai na hmuh hnin ah na duek ni,” a ti nah.
Pharaoh said to Moses, “Go from me! Be careful about one thing, that you do not see me again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
29 Te dongah Moses loh, “Na thui bangla na maelhmai hmuh ham koep ka khoep mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Moses said, “You yourself have spoken. I will not see your face again.”
