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?”
Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’”
2 Chuin Pakaiyin ajah a, “Nakhut a nachoi chu ipi ham?” tia adoh le, Mosen a donbut in “Tenggol ahi,” ati.
The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” 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.
He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold 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.
“This is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to 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.
The LORD said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, 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.
He said, “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as 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.
“It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter 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.
It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which 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.
Moses said to the LORD, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow 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?
The LORD said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it 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.
Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”
13 Ahinlah Mose avel in Pakai heng'a ataovin, “Pakai, lungset tah in! midang khattou sol tan,” ati.
Moses said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”
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.
The LORD’s anger burnt against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. 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.
You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall 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.
He will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you 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.
You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall 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.
Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”

The LORD said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”
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.
Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod 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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart 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.”
You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘The LORD says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
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 have said to you, “Let my son go, that he may serve me;” and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”
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.
On the way at a lodging place, the LORD met Moses and wanted to kill him.

Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, “Surely you are a bridegroom 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 alone. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
