Sunglatnah 8

1 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh taengah cet lamtah anih te, 'BOEIPA loh ka pilnam te hlah lamtah kai taengah thothueng saeh,’ a ti.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.

2 Tedae hlah ham na aal atah na khorhi boeih ah bukak kan yok sak coeng ne.

But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country 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.

The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.

4 Namah so neh na pilnam soah khaw na sal boeih soah khaw bukak luei ni, 'ti nah,” a ti.

The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”

5 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Aaron te na kut thueng lamtah na conghol neh tuiva soah khaw, sokko soah khaw, tuibap soah khi laeh,'ti nah. Te vaengah bukak te Egypt khohmuen ah ha luei saeh,” a ti nah.

And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto 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.

So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

7 Tedae hmayuep loh a tuisiduei neh phek a saii uh tih bukak te Egypt kho la luei van.

But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.

8 Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Moses neh Aaron te a khue tih, “BOEIPA taengah thangthui lamtah bukak he kai lamkah neh ka pilnam taeng lamlong khaw nong sak saeh. Te vaengah pilnam te ka tueih vetih BOEIPA taengah hmueih a nawn uh bitni,” a ti nah.

Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may 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.

Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”

10 “Thangvuen ah,” a ti nah dongah, “Na ol bangla kaimih kah Pathen Yahweh bang a om pawt khaw na ming van bitni.

“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like 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.

The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”

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.

After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.

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 as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.

14 Te te a hlom a hlom la a hmoek uh tih khohmuen tom ah rhim.

They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.

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.

When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.

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.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”

17 A saii rhoi tangloeng tih Aaron loh a kut te a thueng. A conghol neh diklai dongkah laipi te a taam vaengah pilhlip te hlang pum dong neh rhamsa dongah om. Diklai laipi boeih te Egypt kho tom ah pilhlip la poeh.

This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout 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.

The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.

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.

“This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

20 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Mincang ah thoo lamtah Pharaoh mikhmuh ah pai pah. Tui taengla a pawk vaengah amah te, 'BOEIPA loh, 'Ka pilnam he hlah lamtah kai ham thothueng uh saeh,’ a ti coeng he.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and when Pharaoh goes out to the water, stand before him and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship 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 you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground where they stand will be full of flies.

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.

But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people live; no swarms of flies will be found there. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in the land.

23 Ka pilnam laklo neh na pilnam laklo ah tlannah ka khueh vetih miknoek he thangvuen ah thoeng bitni,’ ti nah,” a ti.

I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”

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. Thick swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by swarms 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.

Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within 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?

But Moses replied, “It would not be right to do that, because the sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. If we offer sacrifices that are detestable before the Egyptians, will they not 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 must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands 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.

Pharaoh answered, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now 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.

“As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”

30 Te phoeiah Moses te Pharaoh taeng lamloh nong tih BOEIPA taengah thangthui.

Then Moses left Pharaoh 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 the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.

32 Tedae tahae tue ah khaw Pharaoh te a lungbuei a thangpom tih pilnam te tueih pawh.

But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
