Potdohbu 5
1 Hicheng jouse chu Israel upa hole lamkai chengse heng'a asei peh chai lhon phat'in, Pharaoh heng'a Mose le Aaron achelhon in aga sei lhon tai. “Hiche hi ahi Israelte Pakai, Pathen in asei chu: gamthip noiya kami Israelten keima jabol naa kut abolna diuvin soltauvin,” tin amapa henga asei lhon tai.
Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
2 Pharaoh in ale donbut in, “Hichu hi mong ham? Pakai kitipa chu koiham? Keiman ipi jeh a ama thu kangaiya Israelte chu kasol doh ding ham? Pakai kitipa chu keiman kahekha poi, chule keiman Israelte kasol doh lou ding ahi,” ati.
Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know the LORD, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”
3 Ahinlah Aaron leh Mose apang tinten lhon in, “Hebrew mite Pathen chun eikimupi lhon ahi,” tin aphongdoh lhon'e. “Hijeh chun ni thum sung'a gamthip a kache uva Pakai ka Pathen'u henga kilhaina ka ga sem na diuvin neisol tauvin. Achuti louva ahile, Pakaiyin gamna hise ahinlan sah ding ahilou leh chemjam'a eitha gam diu ahi,” ati lhon'e.
They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
4 Pharaoh in a donbut in, “Mose leh Aaron, ipi ding'a mipite ana toh nauva konna alungu nalahmang lhon'a nasuboi lhon ham? Na kitoh kit tauvin!
The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
5 Ven, “Gamsung'a namite hi tampi ahiuvin, ahin nangnin amaho hi anatoh nau natansah lhon tai,” ati.
Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
6 Hiche nikho mama chun Pharaoh in Egypt mite ding'a soh natong vaipo ho leh Israel lamkai ho chu hiche thupeh hi ape tan ahi:
The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,
7 “Chehlhang semna ding'in changpol pe tahih un. Ama ama cheh kihol sah tauvin!
“You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8 Ahivang'a masang'a na bolsah ngai bang'uva chehlhang nasem sah jat u kibanga nasem sah dingu ahi. Achanvou u lhom jong lhom sah hih un. Athase gam tauve. Hijeh chun amahon, 'cheu hitin I-Pathen'u henga kilhaina gasem tauhite,' tia asap jengu ahi, ati.
You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’
9 Achung'uva natoh hahsa cheh koibe peh un! A-ulsau lonsah un! Hichun jou thu angaisah lou na diuva ahil dingu ahi!” ati.
Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labour in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
10 Hichun soh natong vaipo ho leh natong lamkai ho chu acheuvin mipi ho heng'a asei peh tauvin: “Pharaoh in asei hiche hi ahi: Tuapat changpol kapeh talou ding'u nahi.
The taskmasters of the people went out with their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
11 Cheuvin lang nangma nangman ga kipoh uvin. Hoilaimun hijongle namu thei chan'un ga kihol tauvin. Ahinlah masanga banga chehlhang atam nathei chan'a na sem doh dingu ahi,” ati.
Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
12 Hijeh chun mipi jong Egypt gamtin ah changpol hol nan aki the cheh tauvin ahi.
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13 Chomkhat jouvin, Egypt natong vaipo hon gah tah in aboljom nalaiyun, “Changpol kapeh laiyuva nasem bang'uva, niseh leh chehlhang nasem doh ding jat u nasuh bulhit tei ding'u ahi” tin ngeh na aneiyuve.
The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfil your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
14 Chuin Israel natong lamkaiya anganse hou chu ajep uvin, “Ipi ding'a janhia chule tunia jong natoh doh diu jat na toh doh louvu ham? tin ngehna aneiyuvin ahi.
The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
15 Chuphat in Israel natong lamkai cheng Pharoah heng'a ache un chule atao uvin, “lungset tah in nasohte hi hitin neibol hih un,” tin athum un ahi.
Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
16 “Changpol la eipe pouvin, ahinlah soh vaipo hon angeh nalaiyun “chehlhang sem'un!” tin eivo jing'un, ahinlah hiche hi keiho themmo ahi poi! Nangma mite ho mama ngoh ding ahijoi!” tin asei uve.
No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
17 Ahivang'in Pharoah apeng jah jeng'in, “Nangho na thaset u ahi! a thase na hiuve! Hijeh a chu hitia hi naseiyu ahi, 'Cheu hitin chule I-Pakaiyu heng'a kilhaina ga toh doh ute natiu ahi.'
But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
18 “Tun natong din kileuvin! Nangho changpol na kipe lou diu, ahivang'a chehlhang nasem doh diu jat lhingset a nasem doh teitei ding'u ahi,” ati.
Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
19 “Niseh a chehlhang nasem jat u nakemsuh sah theilou ding'u ahi,” ati jeh u chun Israel natong lamkai hon nasa tah abol gim'a aum'u chu amu tauvin ahi.”
The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”
20 Pharoah thutanna insung ahin dalhah phat un, pam lang'a amaho ana ngah Mose leh Aaron chu aki mupi uvin ahi.
They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out from Pharaoh.
21 Chuin natong lamkai ho chun ajah lhon'ah, “Pakaiyin nachung chang thu lhon tan hen lang gotna nape lhon hen, ijeh inem itileh Pharaoh leh alhacha ho angsung'a nei suh namset u ahi. Nangnin amaho khut a chemjam na koipeh lhon in, neitha gamsah kigot un ahi,” atiuve.
They said to them, “May the LORD look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”
22 Chuin Mose Pakai heng'a akile in akiphin tai, “Ipi ding'a namite chung'a hitobang gimna hi nalhun sah hitam, Pakai? Ipi ding'a keima nei sol ham?”
Moses returned to the LORD, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
23 Nangma thalheng'a thusei dinga Pharoah heng kahunga kipat namite chunga akhanse cheh cheh jon ahi. Hinlah nangman amaho huhdoh nadin ima nabol poi!”
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”
