Potdohbu 4

1 Hinlah Mose avel'in akiphin kit in, “Eitahsan lel-u henlang kathusei ngai hih uleh iti tantem? 'Nangma heng'a Pakai akilah kha him him poi' tiu leh iti tantem?”

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 Chuin Pakaiyin ajah a, “Nakhut a nachoi chu ipi ham?” tia adoh le, Mosen a donbut in “Tenggol ahi,” ati.

And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

3 Pakaiyin ajah a, “Tol'ah seplhan,” ati. Hichun Mosen tenggol chu tol'ah asep lhan, chuin gul ahung kisoh tan! Mose anung chop jeng'in ahi.

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 Chuin Pakaiyin aheng'a, “nakhut lhangdoh in lang ameiyin man tem'in” ati. Hichun Mosen akhut alhangdoh in aman in ahile, akhut ah kelngoi chinna tenggol ahung kinung soh doh kit tan ahi.

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 Pakaiyin ajah-a, “Hiche melchih nahi nabol ding ahi. Chuteng apu apateu Pathen - Abraham Pathen, Isaac Pathen chuleh Jacob Pathen chu nangma heng'ah akilah mong'e ti ahin tahsan dingu ahi,” ati.

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 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose heng'ah, “Tunna khut chu na pon ah sung nadip a koiyin,” atile, Mose'n jong akhut chu apon ah sung adip a akoiyin, akhut chu alah doh kit a ahile, akhut chu avun aphah in buhbang bangin abang jeng'in ahi.

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 Pakaiyin, “Tun nakhut chu napon ah sung nadip'a avel'in koikit tem in,” atin ahi. Hijeh chun Mose in jong akhut chu anung koilut kit in, chuin ala doh kit in ahile atidang bang'in atahsa adamsel tan ahi.

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 Pakaiyin Mose heng'a asei jin, “ijem tia nangma natahsan lou uva chule melchih na masapen jeng'a jong atahsan theilou uva ahile, melchina anichanna a atahsan diu ahi tai.

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 Chule hiche melchih na teni jeng'a jong atahsan thei lou'uva ahile, Nile Vadunga kon in twi themkhat la in lang tolgo laiya sung lhan. Hichu nabol teng, Nile Vadung twi chu tolgo laiya thisan kisoh ding ahi,” ati.

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 Ahin Mose Pakai heng'a ataovin, “O Pakai, keima thusei them kahipoi. Achesa phat hihen, chule tujeng in jong, kahenga thu nasei nung hijong leh, ka lei a-oh jin, chule kathusei a-ngongkai jie,” ati.

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 Hichun Pakaiyin Mose adong paijin, “Koiham mihem kam sem? Koi ham mihem apaothei ahilou leh apaomo, kho jathei ahilou leh ana ngong, kho muthei ahilou leh micho umsah nadia gellhuh na sem ji? Hichu Keima, na Pakai kahi hilou ham?

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 Tun chen! napao doh na chan'a Ka umpi ding, chule na thusei na chan'a Keiman kalamhil ding nahi,” ati.

So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.

13 Ahinlah Mose avel in Pakai heng'a ataovin, “Pakai, lungset tah in! midang khattou sol tan,” ati.

And he said, O Lord, send, if you will, by the hand of anyone whom it seems good to you to send.

14 Chuin Pakai Mose chung'a alung hang tan, “Aphai,” ati. “Na sopipa Levi mi Aaron um'a hilou ham? Aman lei kileh pel'in thu aseitheiye ti keiman kahei. Chule vetan! Tun nang toh kimuto ding in ahung tai. Nang toh kimu ding lung thanop na'a dim ahi,” ati.

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 Ama chu houlim pin lang, thuho hi akamsung'a mop in. Keiman napao doh na chan lhon'a ka umpi ding, na ni lhon'a nathilbol nachan lhon'a nalamhil lhon nang'e, ati.

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 “Aaron hi nangma ding'a miho lah a thuseija pang ding ahi. Nangma ding'a nakam sung'a pang ding chule ama ding'a nangma hi Pathen khel'a na din ding, aman ipi asei ding nahil ding ahi,” ati.

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 Na kelngoi tenggol hi kichoiyin lang, melchih na bol ding'a ka thumop chengse bol nading'in mang chan,” ati.

And take in your hand this rod with which you will do the signs.

18 Hijeh chun Mose in lam anu-pa-pa Jethro heng lam'a akile tan ahi. “Lungset tah in kasopi ho heng lam Egypt gam'a kile tange,” tin Mosen aseiyin, “Hing nalaiyu hinauvam tijong hepha lou kahi,” ati in ahile, Jethro in “lungmong in chen,” tin adonbut in ahi.

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 Mose in Median adalhah masang'in Pakaiyin aheng'a aseiyin, “Egypt a kile tan, ijeh-inem itileh nangma nathat nom ho abonchauvin athi gam tauve,” ati.

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 Hijeh chun Mose in ajinu leh achate akipuiyin, sangan chunga atousah in, chuin Egypt gam'a akile tauvin ahi. Akhut a Pathen tenggol chu achoiyin ahi.

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 Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseiyin, “Egypt gamsung nalelhun teng, Pharaoh henga chen lang keiman bol ding'a thuneina kapeh bang'in thil kidang ho jouse abonchan gabol'in, ati. Ahinlah Keiman alungthim kasuh tah ding chuteng miho chedoh ding aphal lou ding ahi.”

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 “Chuteng nangman aheng'a nasei ding, “Hiche hi Pakai thusei ahiye: Israel hi keima chapa peng masapen ahi.”

And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:

23 Keiman thu kapeh nahi, “Ka chapa soldoh tan, chuti leh aman keima eihou thei ding ahi.”'Ahivanga nangman nah sah louva na koi jeh in, tua hi keiman nang chapa amasapen katha ding ahi tai!”' ati.

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 Egypt gam ajot laiyun Mose leh a insung mite jan geh din ngahmun khat'a akinga tauvin, Pakaiyin amapa chu akimaitopin, amapa chu atha pai ding ahitai.

Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.

25 Amavang Mose jinu Zipporah, in songiel chem alan achapa chep atan peh in ahi. Amanun chep chu amapa keng atohkhah sah in hiti hin aseiye, “Tua hi nangma hiche thisan jal'a kei dia moulang nahitai,” ati.

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 (Amanun “thisan jal'a moulang” tia asei chu chep tan chu aseina ahi.) Chujou chun Pakaiyin amapa chu adalhatai.

So he let him go. Then she said, You are a husband of blood because of the circumcision.

27 Tun Pakaiyin Aaron henga, “Mose kimupi din Gamthip lam'a khun chedoh in,” ati. Hijeh chun Aaron Pathen molsang lam'a achen Mose aga kimupi in, a angkoiyin ahi.

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 Hichun Mose in jong Aaron jah a Pakaiyin sei dinga athupeh jouse ajah a asei peh tan ahi. Chule bol dinga athupeh thil kidang melchih naho chung chang ho chu aseipeh tan ahi.

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 Chuin Mose le Aaron Egypt gam ahung kile lhon'in Israel upa jouse abonchan akoukhom lhon tan ahi.

Then Moses and Aaron went and got together all the chiefs of the children of Israel:

30 Aaron in Pakaiyin Mose athumop chengse chu abonchan amaho jah a aseipeh soh keiyin, Chule Mose in melchihna thil kidang hochu aheng uvah abol in avetsah soh kei uve.

And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people.

31 Hichun Israel miten Mose leh Aaron chu Pathen in ahin sol mong ahi ti atahsan tauve. Pakaiyin amaho chung chang agelkhoh in agim hesoh nau amu taiti ajahdoh phat un, abohkhup uvin ahou tauvin ahi.

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.
