Tâconae 4
1 Mosi ni, ahnimanaw ni kai na yuem awh mahoeh, ka lawk hai ngâi awh mahoeh, BAWIPA ni nang koe kamnuek mahoeh telah a ti awh han doeh atipouh.
Moses answered and said: They will not believe me, nor hear my voice, but they will say: The Lord hath not appeared to thee.
2 BAWIPA ni na kut dawk bang hno maw kaawm telah a pacei navah, sonron ao telah atipouh.
Then he said to him: What is that thou holdest in thy hand? He answered: A rod.
3 Talai dawk tâkhawng haw atipouh e patetlah a tâkhawng navah, sonron teh tahrun lah a coung teh, Mosi ni a yawng takhai.
And the Lord said: Cast it down upon the ground. He cast it down, and it was turned into a serpent: so that Moses fled from it.
4 BAWIPA ni na kut hoi a mai dawk man hottelah atipouh e patetlah Mosi ni a kut hoi a man navah, a kut dawk sonron lah bout a coung pouh.
And the Lord said: Put out thy hand and take it by the tail. He put forth his hand, and took hold of it, and it was turned into a rod.
5 Hottelah, na sak pawiteh ahnimae mintoenaw e Cathut, Abraham e Cathut, Isak e Cathut, Jakop e Cathut lah kaawm e BAWIPA ni nang koe a kamnuenae hah hote taminaw ni a yuem awh han telah atipouh.
That they may believe, saith he, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to thee.
6 BAWIPA ni na kut na lungtabue thung tapu haw bout atipouh e patetlah a kut a lungtabue thung a tapu teh a rasa navah, a kut teh a hrikbei.
And the Lord said again: Put thy hand into thy bosom. And when he had put it into his bosom, he brought it forth leprous as snow.
7 Na kut hah na lungtabue dawk bout tapu atipouh e patetlah a kut a lungtabue dawk bout a tapu teh a rasa navah, hmaloe e patetlah bout a coung.
And he said: Put back thy hand into thy bosom. He put it back, and brought it out again, and it was like the other flesh.
8 Hote taminaw ni na yuem awh hoeh, hmaloe e mitnoutnae hai ngai awh hoehpawiteh, apâhni e mitnoutnae teh a yuem awh han.
If they will not believe thee, saith he, nor hear the voice of the former sign, they will believe the word of the latter sign.
9 Hote mitnoutnae kahni touh e hah yuem awh hoeh, na lawk hai ngâi awh hoehpawiteh, Nai tui youn touh lat nateh a oung lah rabawk, hottelah tuipui dawk e la e tui teh talai kaphui dawk thi lah ao han telah atipouh.
But if they will not even believe these two signs, nor hear thy voice: take of the river water, and pour it out upon the dry land, and whatsoever thou drawest out of the river shall be turned into blood.
10 Hat navah Mosi ni BAWIPA koe Oe ka Bawipa, kai teh ha hoehnahlan hai na san koe lawk na dei hnukkhu hai lawk ka dei thai e lah kaawm hoeh. Lawkdei khokpakhak e lah ka o atipouh.
Moses said: I beseech thee, Lord. I am not eloquent from yesterday and the day before: and since thou hast spoken to thy servant, I have more impediment and slowness of tongue.
11 BAWIPA ni hai tami e pahni apinimaw a sak. Lawka, hnâpang, mitdawn, mitang hah apinimaw a sak. Kai, BAWIPA ni ka sak e nahoehmaw.
The Lord said to him: Who made man’s mouth? or who made the dumb and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? did not I?
12 Hatdawkvah, atu cet leih. Na pahni dawk ka o vaiteh, nang ni bangtelamaw na dei han tie hah na cangkhai han telah atipouh.
Go therefore and I will be in thy mouth: and I will teach thee what thou shalt speak.
13 Mosi ni Oe ka Bawipa, na ngai e tami e kut dawk mah poe lawih telah atipouh navah,
But he said: I beseech thee, Lord send whom thou wilt send.
14 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a lungkhuek teh Levih tami Aron teh na hmau nahoehmaw. Ahni teh lawk a dei thai tie ka panue. Ahni teh nang dawn hanelah a tho lahun. Na kâhmo torei a lunghawi han.
The Lord being angry at Moses, said Aaron the Levite is thy brother, I know that he is eloquent: behold he cometh forth to meet thee, and seeing thee shall be glad at heart.
15 Nang ni ahni hoi kâpan nateh, ahni ni a dei hane lawk hah ka poe han. Nange pahni dawk thoseh, ahnie pahni dawk thoseh, Kai ka o vaiteh nangmouh roi ni bangtelamaw na sak han tie na cangkhai han.
Speak to him, and put my words in his mouth: and I will be in thy mouth, and in his mouth, and will shew you what you must do.
16 Ahni ni nange yueng lah a dei vaiteh, ahni teh nange pahni patetlah, nang hai ahnie Cathut patetlah na han.
He shall speak in thy stead to the people, and shall be thy mouth: but thou shalt be to him in those things that pertain to God.
17 Nang ni mitnoutnaw na sak thai hanelah hete sonron haiyah, na kut dawk pou na sin han telah atipouh.
And take this rod in thy hand, wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
18 Mosi ni a masei Jethro koe a cei teh, Izip ram kaawm e ka miphunnaw ni paroup a hring rah maw telah khet hanelah, ahnimouh onae hmuen koe ka cei han telah a kâhei navah, Jethro ni lungmawngcalah hoi cet lawi bout atipouh.
Moses went his way, and returned to Jethro his father in law and said to him: I will go and return to my brethren into Egypt, that I may see if they be yet alive. And Jethro said to him: Go in peace.
19 Hat navah BAWIPA ni, Izip ram lah bout ban leih, nang na ka thet hane taminaw teh koung a due awh toe telah midian ram dawk Mosi koe atipouh.
And the Lord said to Moses, in Madian: Go, and return into Egypt: for they are all dead that sought thy life.
20 Hat navah, Mosi ni a yu hoi capa kahni touh la a kâcui sak teh, Cathut e sonron hah a kut dawk a sin teh, Izip ram lah a ban.
Moses therefore took his wife, and his sons, and set them upon an ass: and returned into Egypt, carrying the rod of God in his hand.
21 BAWIPA ni hai nang ni Izip ram lah na ban teh na pha torei teh, na kut dawk Kai ni na poe e kângairu hnonaw pueng hah Faro siangpahrang hmalah sak pouh. Hottelah, na sak nakunghai, Kai ni ahni teh a lung ka pata sak vaiteh, ahni ni Isarel taminaw hah cetsak mahoeh.
And the Lord said to him as he was returning into Egypt: See that thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I shall harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.
22 Hattoteh nang ni Faro siangpahrang koe BAWIPA ni Isarel teh ka camin doeh.
And thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son, my firstborn.
23 Ka ca ni Kai na bawk thai nahanlah cetsak loe, na cetsak hoehpawiteh, na camin hai Kai ni ka thei han telah na ti pouh han telah ati.
I have said to thee: Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou wouldst not let him go: behold I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
24 Kahlawng a cei lahun nah, BAWIPA ni Mosi hah rim dawk a kâhmo teh thei hanlah a kâcai.
And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and would have killed him.
25 Hat navah, Zipporah ni lungtaw a la teh a capa e vuensom a a pouh hnukkhu, a vâ e khok a nep pouh hnukkhu, atangcalah nang teh thipaling ka lawngsakkung vâ lah doeh na o telah atipouh.
Immediately Sephora took a very sharp stone, and circumcised the fore skin of her son, and touched his feet and said: A bloody spouse art thou to me.
26 Hat navah, Mosi hah a ceisak. A yu ni vuensomanae yawhawinae kecu dawk nang teh kai koe thipaling na ka palawng e vâ lah na o telah atipouh nae doeh.
And he let him go after she had said A bloody spouse art thou to me, because of the circumcision.
27 BAWIPA ni hai Mosi dawn hanelah kahrawng lah cet loe telah Aron koe atipouh e patetlah Aron ni a cei teh, Cathut e mon dawk Mosi hah a kâhmo teh a paco.
And the Lord said to Aaron: Go into the desert to meet Moses. And he went forth to meet him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.
28 Mosi ni hai ama ka patoun e BAWIPA e lawknaw pueng thoseh, lawk a thui e mitnoutnaw thoseh, Aron koe a dei pouh.
And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord, by which he had sent him, and the signs that he had commanded.
29 Hote hmaunawngha kahni touh roi ni Isarel tami kacuenaw a pâkhueng roi hnukkhu,
And they came together, and they assembled all the ancients of the children of Israel.
30 Aron ni Mosi koe BAWIPA e a lawknaw pueng bout a dei teh, taminaw e hmalah mitnoutnaw a kamnue sak.
And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had said to Moses: and he wrought the signs before the people,
31 Hote taminaw ni hai a yuem awh. BAWIPA ni Isarel miphun hah a khetyawtnae thoseh, a khang awh e rektapnae thoseh, a hmu tie a thai awh toteh, a lûsaling awh teh a bawk awh.
And the people believed. And they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel: and that he had looked upon their affliction: and falling down they adored.
