< Potdohbu 3 >
1 Mosen nikhat anupa pa Median thempu pa Jethro kelngoi achin laijin. Kelgoi hon chu gamlha tah gamthip lam'a apuiyin, Pathen molsang, Sinai lam'a chun ahung tan ahi.
Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, Horeb.
2 Hiche laimun'a chun Pathen vantil meikong in hamboh lah'a ahung kilah in, Mose in lungdong tah in aven ahi. Hamboh chu akong jeng in hinlah akavam deh pon ahi.
And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire and was not burnt.
3 Chuin Mose ama leh ama aki houlim in, “Hiche hi datmah umtah thil ahiye, ipijeh pentah a hiche hamboh khu kavam lou ahidem? kache a kavet tei angaiye” ati.
And Moses said: I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 Hichu ve dinga Mose in hilam chu anailut jep jep e ti Pakaiyin amuphat'in, Pathen in hamboh lailung akon in, “Mose! Mose!” tin akouvin ahile, Mose in jong a donbut in “Keima hiva ka um'e,” ati.
And when the Lord saw that he went forward to see, he called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said: Moses, Moses. And he answered: Here I am.
5 “Hin nailut hihbeh in” tin Pakaiyin agih tan ahi. “Nakeng chot kisut in, ajeh chu nang ma muntheng'a ding nahi.
And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 Keima napa dinga a-Pathen kahi - Abraham Pathen, Isaac Pathen, leh Jacob Pathen kahi”, ati. Hichu Mose in ajah phat in amai akhutai, ajeh chu Pathen avet ngamlou ahi.
And he said: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Moses hid his face: for he durst not look at God.
7 Chuphat in Pakaiyin ahenga aseijin, “Egypt a kamite kibol gimna ka muchen tai. Achung'uva tohvai hom hon asuh gimnau aka awgin'u kaja tan ahi. Heng'e, a thohgim nau abonchan ka hechen tai, ati.
And the Lord said to him: I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of the rigour of them that are over the works:
8 Hijeh a chu Egypt mite thannei nanoiya kon'a amaho huhdoh ding le Egypt gam'a kon'a gampha tah, khoiju le bongnoi lon na gam hichu - Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amor mite, Periz mite, Hivi mite Chule Jebus mite tua achenna'u gam'a puilut dinga Keima hikoma hung kumlha kahi, ati.
And knowing their sorrow, I am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land into a good and spacious land, into a land that floweth with milk and honey, to the places of the Chanaanite, and Hethite, and Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite.
9 Vetan! Israel chate ka awgin ka angsung ahung lhung tai, chule Egypt miten asuh gimnau kichen tah in kamutai.
For the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have seen their affliction, wherewith they are oppressed by the Egyptians.
10 Tun che jengin, ajeh chu Keiman nanghi Pharaoh henga kasol nahiye. Kami Israelte Egypt gam'a kona nahin puidoh ding ahi,” ati.
But come, and I will send thee to Pharao, that thou mayst bring forth my people, the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 Hinlah Mose Pathen heng'ah akiphin in, “Kei koi kahia Pharaoh henga kaga kilah ding ham? Kei koi ka hia Israelte Egypt gam'a kon'a ka hin puidoh ding ham?” ati.
And Moses said to God: Who am I that I should go to Pharao, and should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 Pathen in adonbut in, “Keiman ka umpi jing ding nahiye. Keiman kasol nahina nangma dinga melchihna hiche hi ahi: Nangman miho chu Egypt gam'a kon'a nahin puidoh teng leh, hiche mol tah a hi Pathen na hou ding'u ahi,” ati.
And he said to him: I will be with thee: and this thou shalt have for a sign, that I have sent thee: When thou shalt have brought my people out of Egypt, thou shalt offer sacrifice to God upon this mountain.
13 Ahivang'in Mose akiphin'in, “Keima Israel chate henga kachea ajah uva, ‘Napu napateu Pathen in na heng uva eihinsol ahi,’ tin sei leng ‘Amin ipi ham?’ tia eidoh diu ahi, chuteng amaho chu iti ka donbut ding ham?,” ati.
Moses said to God: Lo, I shall go to the children of Israel, and say to them: The God of your fathers hath sent me to you. If they should say to me: What is his name? what shall I say to them?
14 Pathen in Mose a donbut in, “Keima hi Keima ka hi jeng'e. Hiche hi Israelte heng'a seipeh in: Keima chun na heng'uva eihinsol ahi,” tin ati.
God said to Moses: I AM WHO AM. He said: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: HE WHO IS, hath sent me to you.
15 Pathen in jong Mose heng'a aseiyin, “Hiche hi Israelte heng'a seipeh in: Yahweh, napu napateu Pathen - Abraham Pathen, Isaac Pathen, chule Jacob Pathen in - naheng uva eihin sol ahi. Hiche hi ka tonsot min ahi, akhang akhang'a nageldoh jing diu kamin ahi.
And God said again to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
16 “Tun chenlang Israel sung'a upa ho gakou khom tan. Aheng'uva seipeh in 'Yahweh, napu napauteu Pathen - Abraham, Isaac, chule Jacob Pathen - kahenga akilah in ahi. Aman kajah-a aseiyin, “Keiman naichan kanave jing'un, chule Egypt miten na-engbol nau keiman kamui.
Go, gather together the ancients of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying: Visiting I have visited you: and I have seen all that hath befallen you in Egypt.
17 Keiman nangho Egypt a nagenthei thoh nauva kon'a huh doh ding'a kakitep ahi. Keiman khoiju leh bongnoi lon na gam'a chu kapuilut ding nahiuve - hichu Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amor mite, Periz mite, Hivi mite Chule Jebus mite tua achen nau gam khu ahi,” ati.
And I have said the word to bring you forth out of the affliction of Egypt, into the land of the Chanaanite, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite, to a land that floweth with milk and honey.
18 “Israel upa hon nathusei angai diu ahi. Chuteng nang leh Israel upa chengse Egypt lengpa heng'a nache tei uva, ‘Pakai, Hebrew mite Pathen chun, eikimupi uve. Hijeh chun lungset tah in nithum sung'a gamthip lam'a kakhol jin uva Pakai ka Pathen'u henga kilhaina kasem dingu ahi” tia aheng'a nagasei diu ahi.
And they shall hear thy voice: and thou shalt go in, thou and the ancients of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews hath called us: we will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, to sacrifice unto the Lord our God.
19 “Amavang Egypt lengpa chu khut thahat in ano kahse a nahin soldoh lou diu keiman kahei,” ati.
But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, but by a mighty hand.
20 “Hijeh a chu Keiman kakhut ka lhan a, chule Egypt mite kajep ding, alah uva thil kidang jouse kabol ding ahi. Ajona le Aman nahin soldoh ding'u ahi.
For I will stretch forth my hand and will strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of them: after these he will let you go.
21 Chule keiman Egypt mite mitvet a khotona ka hin chan sah ding na hiuve. Ama hon thilpeh na hin peh dingu chuteng khut goh keova na dalhah lou diu ahiye.
And I will give favour to this people, in the sight of the Egyptians: and when you go forth, you shall not depart empty:
22 Israel numei jousen akinaipiu Egypt mite leh a in'uva um gamchom numei ho hokom'a sana leh dangka chule ponsil akithum cheh ding'u ahi. Na chanu teu leh na chapa teu hiche ho chu navon peh dingu, Egypt mite haosatna jouse na holhah peh dingu ahi,” ati.
But every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is in her house, vessels of silver and of gold, and raiment: and you shall put them on your sons and daughters, and shall spoil Egypt.
