Tâconae 10
1 BAWIPA ni Mosi, Faro koe cet nateh Kai ni hete mitnoutnaw heh ahnie hmalah patue hane lah,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king [again]. I have made him and his officials stubborn [IDM]. I have done that in order that I would [have a good reason to] perform all these plagues among them,
2 Izip ram dawk ka sak e hnonaw hoi Izip taminaw koe ka sak e mitnoutnaw heh, na ca catounnaw koe na dei pouh teh, Kai teh Jehovah doeh tie nangmouh ni na panue awh nahanelah thoseh, ahni hoi a sannaw e lung teh Kai ni ka pata sak telah atipouh.
and also in order that you would [be able to] tell your children and your grandchildren how I caused the Egyptians to act very foolishly [when] I performed all these miracles. Then all of you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
3 Mosi hoi Aron ni Faro siangpahrang koe a kâen roi teh Hebrunaw e Cathut Jehovah ni, nang ni ka hmalah na kârahnoum laipalah na sittouh maw na o han rah. Ka taminaw ni Kai na bawk na hanelah tâcawt sak leih.
So Aaron and Moses/I went into the king’s [palace] and said to him, “Yahweh God, whom we Hebrews [worship], says this: ‘How long will you stubbornly refuse to do what I tell you [MTY]? Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert]
4 Ka taminaw na tâcawt sak hoehpawiteh, khenhaw! na ram dawk tangtho samtongnaw ka patoun han.
If you [keep] refusing to let them go, I warn you that tomorrow I will bring (locusts/[large flying insects called] locusts) into your country.
5 Talai kamnuek laipalah ahnimouh ni talai muen a ramuk awh han. Roun ni be a dêi hoeh e kaawm rae naw pueng thoseh, nangmouh hanlah talai dawk kapâw e a kung pueng thoseh a ca awh han.
[They will completely cover the ground so that] you will not even be able to see the ground. They will eat everything that the hail did not [destroy]. They will eat [everything that is left on] the trees.
6 Na mintoenaw talai dawk khosak kamtawngnae koehoi atu totouh a hmu awh boihoeh e hah na imnaw, na sannaw e imnaw, Izipnaw e imnaw dawk akawi awh han telah a dei pouh roi hnukkhu Faro koehoi a kamlang roi teh a tâco roi.
They will fill your houses, and the houses of all your officials, and the houses of all [the rest of] the Egyptians. [There will be more locusts] than you or your parents or your grandparents have ever seen, from the time your ancestors first came to [this] land until the present time!’” Then he/I turned and [Aaron and] I left the king.
7 Faro siangpahrang e a sannaw ni hai hete taminaw ni maimouh na totouh maw na tarawk awh han. Hote taminaw ni amamae Cathut Jehovah koe thueng hanelah tâcawt sak leih. Izip ram a rawk e heh na panuek hoeh rah maw telah a dei pouh navah,
The king’s officials said to him, “(How long is this man going to continue to bring disasters on us?/We must not let this man continue to cause trouble for us!) [RHQ] Let the [Israeli] men leave, in order that they may worship Yahweh, their god. (Do you not yet understand that [this man] has ruined Egypt?/You ought to realize by now that [this man] has ruined Egypt!)” [RHQ]
8 Mosi hoi Aron hah Faro siangpahrang koe bout a kâen sak awh teh, nangmae Cathut Jehovah thueng hanelah tâcawt awh. Hateiteh, apipi maw na ka cet awh han telah a pacei navah,
So they brought Aaron and Moses/me back to the king. He said to them/us, “[All right], you can go and worship Yahweh your god. But who are the ones who will go?”
9 Mosi ni, kaimouh teh camo, matawng, ka capanaw, ka canunaw, tu hoi maitonaw hoi ka cei awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA koe pawito han ao telah bout atipouh navah,
Moses/I replied, “We [all] need to go, everyone, including those who are young and those who are old. We need to take our sons and our daughters and our flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of livestock], because we must have a festival to [honor] Yahweh.”
10 Faro siangpahrang ni nangmouh hoi na canaw teh kai ni na tâco sak e patetlah BAWIPA teh nangmouh koe awm naseh. Kâhruetcuet awh. Kahawi hoeh e pouknae na tawn awh boma.
[Moses/I really did not intend that the Israelis would ever return to Egypt, and the king knew that also. So] the king replied [sarcastically], “[If you all leave], [it will be clear that] Yahweh has helped you, but I myself will never let you [take] your children [and your wives] when you go! It is clear that you are wickedly planning [not to return].
11 Hottelah mahoeh. Hmaloe na hei e patetlah tongpa dueng cet awh nateh BAWIPA Cathut bawk awh, telah atipouh teh ahnimouh teh ama koehoi a pâlei.
So no, [I will not let you all go]. [The Israeli] men may go [and worship Yahweh], if that is what you want.” Then the king expelled them/us from [his palace].
12 BAWIPA ni samtongnaw hah Izip ram dawk a patoun teh roun ni a dêi nawi e talai dawk kaawm rae akungnaw pueng ca sak hanelah, Izip ram lah na kut dâw telah Mosi koe atipouh e patetlah,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach out your hand as [though you were stretching it] over the land to welcome the locusts. They will come to the country of Egypt and eat every plant that is [left] in the land, every plant that the hail has not destroyed.”
13 Mosi ni a sonron hah Izip ram lathueng vah a dâw teh, hote kanîruirui, karum tuettuet Kanîtholah hoi BAWIPA ni kahlî a tho sak teh, amom torei teh Kanîtholae kahlî ni samtongnaw hah a thokhai.
So Moses/I held out his/my stick [as though he/I was stretching it] over the whole land of Egypt. Then Yahweh caused a [strong] wind to blow from the east, and it blew over the land all that day and all that night. By the [next] morning, it had brought the locusts.
14 Hote samtong ni Izip ram pueng muen a ramuk teh ramrinaw pueng dawk a kâhat awh teh moiapap awh. Hote samtongnaw teh ayan hoi atu totouh awm boihoeh. Ao hnukkhu hai bout awm mahoeh.
The locusts swarmed all over Egypt. It was larger than any swarm of locusts that had ever [been seen], and there will never be [a swarm of locusts like that] again.
15 Talai pueng muen ka tamang lah a ramuk teh ram pueng dawk e phovai kaawm pueng, roun ni a dêi nawi e a paw kaawm e naw pueng a ca dawkvah, Izip ram pueng dawk kaawm e thingkung phokungnaw dawk kahring e banghai awm hoeh.
They covered the surface of the ground and made it [appear] black. They ate all the plants in the land and everything on the trees that had not been destroyed by the hail. Nothing that was green was left on any plant or on any tree, anywhere in Egypt.
16 Hat toteh, Faro siangpahrang ni Mosi hoi Aron hah karanglah a kaw teh, nangmae Cathut Jehovah koe thoseh, nangmouh koe thoseh ka yon toe.
The king quickly summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “I have sinned against Yahweh, your god, and against you [two].
17 Hatdawkvah, atu vai touh ka yonnae ngaithoum ei. Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni het duenae lacik buet touh dueng kai koehoi takhoe hanelah na kâ pouh ei, atipouh e patetlah,
So now I ask you to forgive me this one time [for having] sinned, and pray to Yahweh your god to stop [these locusts] [MTY] [from causing everything] to die.”
18 Mosi ni ahni koehoi a cei teh BAWIPA koe ngaithoumnae a hei.
They/We left the king, and Moses/I prayed to Yahweh.
19 BAWIPA ni a tha kaawm e kanîloumlae kahlî a patoun teh, hote kahlî ni samtongnaw hah a tawm teh thipaling talî dawk a pabo. Izip ram dawk samtong buet touh boehai awm hoeh.
Then Yahweh changed the wind so that it blew [strongly] from the west, and it blew all the locusts into the Red Sea (OR, the Gulf of Suez). There was not one locust left anywhere in the country of Egypt.
20 Hateiteh, BAWIPA ni Faro e a lung bout a pata sak dawkvah, Isarel canaw tâcawt sak laipalah bout ao.
But Yahweh made the king stubborn [IDM] [again], and he did not let the Israeli people go.
21 Hahoi, BAWIPA ni Izip ram dawk rumram e hmonae tho laipalah thupthup payam e hmonae o sak hanelah na kut kahlun lah dâw haw telah Mosi koe a dei pouh e patetlah,
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach your hand up toward the sky, in order that there will be darkness over all the land of Egypt, a darkness [so complete] that people will have to grope around [to know where to walk].”
22 Mosi ni a kut kahlun lah a dâw navah Izip ram pueng dawk kingkahmawt e hmonae hnin thum touh ao sak.
So Moses/I reached his/my hand toward the sky, and it became totally dark all over Egypt for three days [and nights].
23 Hat navah, buet touh hoi buet touh hai kahmawt awh hoeh. Hnin thum touh thung apihaiyah a onae hmuen koehoi thaw awh hoeh. Hatei, Isarelnaw teh a onae hmuen koe angnae a hmu awh.
People could not see each other. No one left his house during that whole time. But there was light in the area where the Israeli people were living.
24 Hat navah, Faro siangpahrang ni Mosi hoi Aron a kaw teh BAWIPA bawk hanelah tâcawt awh leih. Hatei, camonaw hrawi awh nateh tu, maitonaw teh cettakhai awh naseh, telah atipouh.
The king summoned Moses/me and said, “All right, you may go and worship Yahweh. [Your wives and] your children may go with you. But your flocks of sheep and goats and your herds of cattle must remain here.”
25 Mosi ni hottelah boipawiteh, ka Cathut Jehovah ka thueng awh nahanelah satheinaw, hmaisawi thueng han hnopainaw hah nang ni poe hanelah a ngai han.
But Moses/I replied, “[No], you must let us [take along the sheep and goats, in order] that we may have [some of them] to sacrifice and give as burned offerings to Yahweh, our God.
26 Kaimouh ni saringnaw hah ka hrawi awh han. Buet touh boehai ka tat awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hotnaw thung dawk hoi kaimae Cathut Jehovah thueng nahanelah ka rawi awh han. BAWIPA bangpatet e saring hoi maw ka bawk awh han tie hote hmuen koe a pha awh hoehroukrak ka panuek awh hoeh telah atipouh navah,
Our livestock must also go with us; we are not going to leave one of them [SYN] behind. We must take them to worship Yahweh. We will not know [which animals to sacrifice] until we get to where we are going.”
27 BAWIPA ni Faro siangpahrang e a lung bout a pata sak dawkvah Isarelnaw tâcawt sak hoeh.
But Yahweh made the king [continue to be] stubborn [IDM], and he would not let [the Israeli] people go.
28 Mosi hanlah kai koehoi tâcawt leih. Ka minhmai bout na hmu hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet. Ka minhmai na hmunae hnin nah na due han atipouh.
The king said to me, “Get out of here! Make sure that you never come to see me [SYN] again! The day you see me again, [I will have] you executed!”
29 Mosi ni hai na dei e teh ahawi. Na minhmai bout kahmawt mahoeh atipouh.
Moses/I replied, “You are correct! You will never see me [SYN] again!”
