Sunglatnah 4
1 Tedae Moses loh a doo tih, “Kai he n'tangnah uh pawt koinih kai ol he hnatun pawt vetih, 'Nang taengah BOEIPA a phoe moenih,’ a ti uh ni,” a ti nah.
And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.
2 Te dongah amah te BOEIPA loh, “Na kut dongkah te balae?” a ti nah hatah, “Conghol,” a ti nah.
And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.
3 Te phoeiah, “Te te diklai la voei lah,” a ti nah tih diklai la a voeih. Te vaengah rhul la a poeh pah dongah Moses khaw a taeng lamloh rhaelrham.
And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.
4 Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Na kut yueng lamtah a mai ah tu,” a ti nah. A kut a yueng tangloeng tih a tuuk vaengah tah a kut dongah conghol la poeh.
And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand: )
5 Te dongah a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA, Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen, Jakob Pathen tah nang taengah phoe tila a tangnah uh bitni.
So that they may be certain that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by you.
6 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh anih te, “Na kut te na rhang ah puei bal dae,” a ti nah. A kut te a rhang ah a puei tangloeng tih a yueh vaengah tah a kut te vuelsong bangla a pahuk pah.
Then the Lord said to him again, Put your hand inside your clothing. And he put his hand inside his robe: and when he took it out it was like the hand of a leper, as white as snow.
7 Te phoeiah, “Na kut te na rhang ah koep puei lah,” a ti nah. A kut te a rhang ah a puei tangloeng tih a rhang lamloh a yueh vaengah tah a saa thim la tarha a om pah.
And he said, Put your hand inside your robe again. (And he put his hand into his robe again, and when he took it out he saw that it had become like his other flesh.)
8 Nang te n'tangnah uh pawt akhaw ana om ngawn saeh. Lamhma kah miknoek ol te a yaak pawt atah a pabae kah miknoek ol te tangnah uh saeh.
And if they do not have faith in you or give ear to the voice of the first sign, they will have faith in the second sign.
9 Tedae miknoek rhoi dongkah he khaw tangnah uh pawt tih na ol te a yaak uh pawt akhaw ana om saeh. Sokko lamkah tui te lo lamtah laiphuei te bueih pah. Sokko lamkah na loh tui te poehlip vetih laikoeng dongah thii la poeh ni,” a ti nah.
And if they have no faith even in these two signs and will not give ear to your voice, then you are to take the water of the Nile and put it on the dry land: and the water you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.
10 Te vaengah Moses loh BOEIPA te, “Aw ka Boeipa, hlaem ah khaw, hlaemvai ah khaw na sal taengah na thui vaeng lamlong mah kai he olka dongah ka hlang voel moenih. Te dongah ka ka tonga tih ka ol khol,” a ti nah.
And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I am not a man of words; I have never been so, and am not now, even after what you have said to your servant: for talking is hard for me, and I am slow of tongue.
11 Tedae BOEIPA loh amah te, “Hlang ham ka aka khueh pah te unim? Olmueh neh hnapang, miktueng neh mikdael aka khueh te unim? BOEIPA kamah moenih a?
And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
12 Te dongah cet laeh lamtah nang kah hmuilai dongah kamah ka om vetih na thui ham te kan thuinuet bitni,” a ti nah.
So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.
13 Tedae, “Aw ka Boeipa, na tueih akhaw kuttoem mah tueih laeh,” a ti nah.
And he said, O Lord, send, if you will, by the hand of anyone whom it seems good to you to send.
14 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek te Moses taengah sai tih, “Na manuca Aron te Levi moenih a? Ka ming ta, thui ham koi te anih loh a thui ta. Te dongah anih khaw nang doe ham ha lo coeng. Te vaengah nang m'hmuh vetih a lungbuei ah a kohoe bitni.
And the Lord was angry with Moses, and said, Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? To my knowledge he is good at talking. And now he is coming out to you: and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.
15 Anih te voek tangloeng lamtah olka he a hmuilai ah khueh pah. Kai he nang kah hmuilai dongah khaw anih kah hmuilai dongah khaw ka om vetih na saii ham te nang kan thuinuet bitni.
Let him give ear to your voice, and you will put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his, teaching you what you have to do.
16 Te phoeiah anih te pilnam taengah nang yueng la cal saeh lamtah nang kah hmuilai la om rhoe om saeh. Nang ngawn tah anih taengah Pathen bangla na om ni.
And he will do the talking for you to the people: he will be to you as a mouth and you will be to him as God.
17 Tedae he conghol he na kut dongah pom lamtah te nen te miknoek saii,” a ti nah.
And take in your hand this rod with which you will do the signs.
18 Te daengah Moses te cet tih a masae Jether taengla mael. Te phoeiah a masae taengah, “Ka cet pawn saeh lamtah Egypt kah ka manuca rhoek taengah ka mael mai eh. Amih kah hingnah khaw ka hmuh pueng khaming,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jethro loh Moses te, “Sading la cet ne,” a ti nah.
And Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go back now to my relations in Egypt and see if they are still living. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
19 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Midian kah Moses te, “Cet lamtah Egypt la mael laeh, nang kah hinglu aka mae hlang khaw boeih duek uh coeng,” a ti nah.
And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, Go back to Egypt, for all the men are dead who were attempting to take your life.
20 Te dongah Moses loh a yuu neh a ca rhoek te a loh tih laak dongah a ngol sak. Tedae Egypt kho la a mael vaengah Moses loh Pathen kah conghol ni a kut dongah a pom.
And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass and went back to the land of Egypt: and he took the rod of God in his hand.
21 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Na caeh vaengah Egypt la mael. Na kut dongah kopoekrhai cungkuem kam paek te tueng. Te te Pharaoh mikhmuh ah saii pah. Tedae kai loh a lungbuei ka moem vetih pilnam te hlah mahpawh.
And the Lord said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have given you power to do: but I will make his heart hard and he will not let the people go.
22 Tedae Pharaoh te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Israel tah ka capa neh ka caming ni.
And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:
23 Te dongah namah taengah khaw ka thui coeng. Ka ca te tueih lamtah kai ham thothueng saeh. Tedae anih hlah ham na aal atah kai loh na capa khuikah na caming te ka ngawn ne,” a ti.
And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.
24 Longpuei kah rhaehim ah a om vaengah anih te BOEIPA neh hum uh tih ngawn la cai.
Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.
25 Te vaengah Zipporah loh hmailung a loh tih a capa kah hmuicue te a hlueng pah. Te phoeiah a kho ah a net tih, “Nang tah kai ham thii dongkah yulokung ni,” a ti nah.
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cutting off the skin of her son's private parts, and touching his feet with it, she said, Truly you are a husband of blood to me.
26 Te daengah BOEIPA te Moses taeng lamloh nong. Te vaengah hmuicuerhetnah te ni thii dongkah yulokung la a thui.
So he let him go. Then she said, You are a husband of blood because of the circumcision.
27 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Aron taengah, “Khosoek la cet lamtah Moses te doe laeh,” a ti nah. A caeh tangloeng vaengah tah amah neh Pathen kah tlang ah hum uh tih a mok.
And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the waste land and you will see Moses. So he went and came across Moses at the mountain of God, and gave him a kiss.
28 Te phoeiah Moses loh amah tueih tih miknoek cungkuem neh amah a uen bangla BOEIPA ol boeih boeih te Aaron hma te a thui pah.
And Moses gave Aaron an account of all the words of the Lord which he had sent him to say, and of all the signs which he had given him orders to do.
29 Moses neh Aaron te cet tih Israel ca a ham boeih te a coi rhoi.
Then Moses and Aaron went and got together all the chiefs of the children of Israel:
30 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses taengkah a thui ol boeih te Aaron loh a thui pah tih pilnam mikhmuh ah miknoek khaw a tueng sak.
And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people.
31 Pilnam loh a tangnah vaengah tah BOEIPA loh Israel ca a hip tih, amih kah phacipphabaem a hmuh pah te khaw a yaak uh dongah buluk uh tih a bawk uh.
And the people had faith in them; and hearing that the Lord had taken up the cause of the children of Israel and had seen their troubles, with bent heads they gave him worship.
