Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”
2 Cathut ni Mosi koe bout a dei pouh e teh, Kai teh Jehovah doeh.
God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
3 Kai ni Abraham, Isak, Jakop tinaw koe, Athakasaipounge Cathut tie min lahoi ka kamnue pouh eiteh, ka min teh Jehovah lah ahnimouh ka panuek sak hoeh.
I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].
4 Ahnimouh ni a hmuen pueng koe a kâva awh teh, imyin lah onae Kanaan ram ahnimouh poe han ka tie lawkkam ka caksak toe.
I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which they were living as foreigners.
5 Izipnaw ni santoung sak e Isarelnaw e hramnae lawk ka thai toe. Ka lawkkam hah ka pahnim hoeh.
Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].
6 Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw koe a dei pouh hane lawk teh; Kai teh BAWIPA doeh. Kai ni nangmouh, Izipnaw e kut dawk hoi na tâco sak vaiteh, ahnimae rektapnae dawk hoi na rasa han. Kutdawnae, ka patawpoung lah reknae lahoi nangmouh teh na ratang awh han.
So tell the Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.
7 Ka tami hanlah na la han. Kai teh nangmae Cathut lah ka o han. Kai teh Izipnaw e kut dawk hoi na ka tâcawt sak e BAWIPA Cathut lah ka o e na panue awh han.
I will cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.
8 Kai ni Abraham, Isak, Jakop ti koe poe hanlah lawk ka kam e ram dawk na hrawi awh vaiteh, râw lah na pang sak awh han. Kai teh BAWIPA doeh telah atipouh.
And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”
9 Hottelah, Mosi ni Isarelnaw koe patuen a dei pouh eiteh, ahnimouh teh a lungthin puenghoi a pata awh teh, puenghoi rektapnae a khang awh dawkvah Mosi e lawk ngâi laipalah ao awh.
Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].

Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 Ahni ni Isarelnaw hah a ram dawk hoi tâco sak hanlah dei pouh telah Mosi koe atipouh.
“Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”

But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]
