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.
Moses answered and said: They will not believe me, nor hear my voice, but they will say: The Lord hath not appeared to thee.
2 Te dongah amah te BOEIPA loh, “Na kut dongkah te balae?” a ti nah hatah, “Conghol,” a ti nah.
Then he said to him: What is that thou holdest in thy hand? He answered: 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 the Lord said: Cast it down upon the ground. He cast it down, and it was turned into a serpent: so that Moses fled 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: Put out thy hand and take it by the tail. He put forth his hand, and took hold of it, and it was turned into a rod.
5 Te dongah a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA, Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen, Jakob Pathen tah nang taengah phoe tila a tangnah uh bitni.
That they may believe, saith he, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to thee.
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.
And the Lord said again: Put thy hand into thy bosom. And when he had put it into his bosom, he brought it forth leprous 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 back thy hand into thy bosom. He put it back, and brought it out again, and it was like the 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.
If they will not believe thee, saith he, nor hear the voice of the former sign, they will believe the word of the latter 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.
But if they will not even believe these two signs, nor hear thy voice: take of the river water, and pour it out upon the dry land, and whatsoever thou drawest out of the river shall be turned into blood.
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.
Moses said: I beseech thee, Lord. I am not eloquent from yesterday and the day before: and since thou hast spoken to thy servant, I have more impediment and slowness 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?
The Lord said to him: Who made man’s mouth? or who made the dumb and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? did not I?
12 Te dongah cet laeh lamtah nang kah hmuilai dongah kamah ka om vetih na thui ham te kan thuinuet bitni,” a ti nah.
Go therefore and I will be in thy mouth: and I will teach thee what thou shalt speak.
13 Tedae, “Aw ka Boeipa, na tueih akhaw kuttoem mah tueih laeh,” a ti nah.
But he said: I beseech thee, Lord send whom thou wilt 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.
The Lord being angry at Moses, said Aaron the Levite is thy brother, I know that he is eloquent: behold he cometh forth to meet thee, and seeing thee shall be glad at 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.
Speak to him, and put my words in his mouth: and I will be in thy mouth, and in his mouth, and will shew you what you must 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.
He shall speak in thy stead to the people, and shall be thy mouth: but thou shalt be to him in those things that pertain to God.
17 Tedae he conghol he na kut dongah pom lamtah te nen te miknoek saii,” a ti nah.
And take this rod in thy hand, wherewith thou shalt 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.
Moses went his way, and returned to Jethro his father in law and said to him: I will go and return to my brethren into Egypt, that I may see if they be yet alive. And Jethro said to him: 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 Madian: Go, and return into Egypt: for they are all dead that sought thy 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.
Moses therefore took his wife, and his sons, and set them upon an ass: and returned into Egypt, carrying 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 him as he was returning into Egypt: See that thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I shall harden his heart, 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 thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son, my firstborn.
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.
I have said to thee: Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou wouldst not let him go: behold I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
24 Longpuei kah rhaehim ah a om vaengah anih te BOEIPA neh hum uh tih ngawn la cai.
And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and would have killed him.
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.
Immediately Sephora took a very sharp stone, and circumcised the fore skin of her son, and touched his feet and said: A bloody spouse art thou to me.
26 Te daengah BOEIPA te Moses taeng lamloh nong. Te vaengah hmuicuerhetnah te ni thii dongkah yulokung la a thui.
And he let him go after she had said A bloody spouse art thou to me, 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 desert to meet Moses. And he went forth to meet him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.
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 told Aaron all the words of the Lord, by which he had sent him, and the signs that he had commanded.
29 Moses neh Aaron te cet tih Israel ca a ham boeih te a coi rhoi.
And they came together, and they assembled all the ancients 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 spoke all the words which the Lord had said to Moses: and he wrought the signs before 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 believed. And they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel: and that he had looked upon their affliction: and falling down they adored.
