Sunglatnah 3

1 Moses tah a masae, Midian khosoih Jethro kah boiva aka luem puei la om. Te vaengah boiva te khosoek hael la a hmaithawn hatah Pathen kah tlang Horeb la pawk.

And Moses has been feeding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, priest of Midian, and he leads the flock behind the wilderness, and comes to the mountain of God, to Horeb;

2 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn te anih taengah tangpuem khui lamkah hmairhong hmai neh a phoe pah. A sawt vaengah tangpuem te hmai loh a dom dae tangpuem te tlum pawh.

and the Messenger of YHWH appears to him in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he sees, and behold, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is 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.

And Moses says, “Now I turn aside and see this great appearance. Why is the bush not burned?”

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.

And YHWH sees that he has turned aside to see, and God calls to him out of the midst of the bush and says, “Moses! Moses!” And he says, “Here I [am].”

5 Te vaengah, “Hela ha mop boeh. Na khokhom te na kho dong lamloh dul dae, a soah na pai thil hmuen he hmuencim khohmuen ni,” a ti nah.

And He says, “Do not come near here. Cast your shoes from off your feet, for the place on which you are standing 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.

He also says, “I [am] the God of your father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob”; and Moses hides his face, for he is afraid to look toward 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.

And YHWH says, “I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;

8 Egypt kut lamloh anih huul ham neh te 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.

and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land to a land good and broad, to a land flowing with milk and honey—to the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

9 Israel ca rhoek pangngawlnah loh kai taengla ha pawk coeng tih amih aka nen Egypt kah nennah khaw ka hmuh coeng he.

And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,

10 Pharaoh taengla nang kan tueih coeng dongah cet lamtah ka pilnam Israel ca rhoek te Egypt lamloh khuen laeh,” a ti nah.

and now, come, and I send you to Pharaoh; and bring out My people, the sons of Israel, from 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.

And Moses says to God, “Who [am] I, that I go to Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from 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.

And He says, “Because I am with you, and this [is] the sign to you that I have sent you: in your bringing out the people from Egypt—you serve God on this mountain.”

13 Tedae Moses loh Pathen taengah, “Israel ca rhoek taengla ka pawk tih amih te, 'Na pa rhoek kah Pathen loh nangmih taengla kai n'tueih,’ ka ti nah vaengah kai te, 'A ming ta?' ti uh koinih amih taengah balae ka thui eh? ' a ti nah.

And Moses says to God, “Behold, I am coming to the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they have said to me, What [is] His Name? What do I say to 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.

And God says to Moses, “I AM THAT WHICH I AM.” He also says, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.”

15 Te phoeiah Pathen loh Moses te, “He he Israel ca rhoek 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.

And God says again to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: YHWH, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this [is] My Name for all time, and this [is] My memorial, to generation [and] generation.

16 Cet lamtah Israel kah patong rhoek te coi laeh. Te phoeiah amih te, “Na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te kai taengah phoe coeng. Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob kah Pathen loh, 'Nangmih neh nangmih taengah Egypt kah a saii te ka hip rhoe ka hip coeng.

Go, and you have gathered the elderly of Israel, and have said to them: YHWH, God of your fathers, has appeared to me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and 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.

and I say [that] I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

18 Te vaengah na ol te a 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.

And they have listened to your voice, and you have entered, you and [the] elderly of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH.

19 Tedae a tlungluen kut nen pawt atah na caeh ham khaw Egypt manghai loh nangmih m'pae mahpawh tila ka ming.

And I have known that the king of Egypt does not permit you to go, unless by a strong 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.

and I have put forth My hand, and have struck Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst—and afterward he sends you away.

21 Pilnam he Egypt mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka khueh vetih na caeh uh vaengah khaw kuttling la na cet uh mahpawh.

And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it has come to pass, when you go, you do not go empty;

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.

and [every] woman has asked from her neighbor, and from her who is sojourning in her house, [for] vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and you have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.”
