Tâconae 8
1 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, nang ni Faro siangpahrang koe cet nateh Ka taminaw ni Kai na bawk nahanelah tâcawt sak leih.
Then the Lord told Moses, “Go and see Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
2 Ka tâcawt sak mahoeh tetpawiteh na ram pueng ekka hoi bout ka rek han rah.
If you refuse to let them leave, I will send a plague of frogs all over your country.
3 Tuipui ni ekka moi a tâco sak vaiteh na im dawk, inae rakhan dawk, ikhun van thoseh, na sannaw e im dawk thoseh, na taminaw e a lathueng thoseh, na takhuen dawk thoseh, tavai na kanawknae kawlung dawk thoseh a luen han.
They will swarm out of the Nile, and they will enter your palace and get into your bedroom and jump onto your bed. They will get into the houses of your officials and jump around your people—even into your ovens and breadmaking bowls.
4 Nangmouh koehoi kamtawng vaiteh na taminaw, na sannaw pueng lathueng vah a luen awh han telah BAWIPA ni a dei e hah thaisak loe telah Mosi koe atipouh.
Frogs will jump all over you, your people, and all your officials.’”
5 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe bout a dei pouh e teh, Aron ni palang, tuipui tui, talînaw e lathueng vah sonron a sin teh kut a dâw navah, Izip ram dawk ekkanaw luen sak hanelah dei pouh telah atipouh.
The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Hold out your walking stick in your hand over the rivers and canals and ponds, and make frogs spread over Egypt.’”
6 Aron ni Izip ram dawk kaawm e tuinaw lathueng kut a dâw teh ekkanaw ni a tho teh Izip ram pueng koung a ramuk.
So Aaron held out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up and covered the land.
7 Camkathoumnaw ni hai camthoumnae lahoi hottelah a sak teh ekkanaw Izip ram dawk a thokhai awh.
But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. They brought up frogs in Egypt.
8 Hat navah, Faro siangpahrang ni Mosi hoi Aron a kaw teh, BAWIPA ni ekkanaw hah kai hoi ka taminaw koehoi takhoe hanelah dei pouh leih. Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA koe thuengnae kâ ka poe han toe telah atipouh.
Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and pleaded with them, “Pray to the Lord, and ask him to take away the frogs from me and my people. Then I will let your people go so they can offer sacrifices to the Lord.”
9 Mosi ni hai nang hoi na imnaw dawk hoi ekkanaw takhoe teh, tuipui dawk dueng o sak hanlah, nang hoi na sannaw, na taminaw hanlah, kai ni ngaithoumnae tueng na khoe atipouh eiteh,
“You may have the honor of deciding when I'll pray for you, your officials, and your people that the frogs will be removed from you and your houses. They will remain only in the Nile.”
10 tangtho ngaithoumnae het leih atipouh teh, Mosi ni kaimae Cathut Jehovah hoi kâvan e cathut awm hoeh tie na panue nahanlah na dei e patetlah,
“Do it tomorrow,” Pharaoh replied. Moses said, “It will happen as you have requested so you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11 Ekkanaw teh nang hoi na imnaw, na sannaw, na taminaw koehoi a tâco teh tuipui dawk dueng ao han telah Mosi ni a dei pouh hnukkhu,
The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials and your people, and they will remain only in the Nile.”
12 Aron hoi cungtalah ahni koehoi a tâco roi teh, Faro siangpahrang e lathueng vah a pha sak e ekkanaw kecu dawk Mosi ni a ratoum.
Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, and Moses pleaded with the Lord about the frogs he had sent against Pharaoh.
13 Mosi ni a hei e patetlah BAWIPA Cathut ni a sak pouh teh, ekkanaw teh imnaw, khonaw, ayawnnaw dawk a due awh.
The Lord did as Moses asked. The frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
14 A ronaw a pâkhueng awh dawkvah ram pueng dawk a hmui a tho.
The people collected them in pile upon pile, and the whole country smelled terrible.
15 Faro siangpahrang ni ahawi toe ti a panue navah, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah a lungpata teh ahnimae lawk hah ngâi laipalah bout ao.
But when Pharaoh realized the plague had passed he chose to become hard and stubborn again, wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
16 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe bout a dei pouh e teh, Izip ram e vaiphunaw pueng heh tangkarang lah o sak hanelah Aron ni sonron a pho teh vaiphu hah hem hanelah dei pouh atipouh e patetlah,
The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Pick up your walking stick and hit the dust of the ground. The dust will become gnats swarming all over Egypt.’”
17 Aron ni sonron a pho teh vaiphu hah a hem. Vaiphu teh tami dawk thoseh, saring koe thoseh, tangkarang lah ao. Izip ram pueng dawk kaawm e vaiphunaw pueng teh tangkarang lah a coung.
They did what the Lord said. When Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the dust of the earth, gnats swarmed over both people and animals. The dust in the whole of Egypt turned into gnats.
18 mitpaleikathoumnaw ni hai tangkarang lah coung sak hanelah a thoumnae lahoi hottelah a sak a eiteh sak thai awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, tami hoi saringnaw pueng dawk tangkarangnaw ao.
The magicians also tried to make gnats using their magic arts, but they couldn't. The gnats stayed on both people and animals.
19 Hat navah, mitpaleikathoumnaw ni hote hno heh Cathut e kutdawn doeh telah Faro siangpahrang koe a dei pouh awh. Hateiteh, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah Faro siangpahrang teh a lungpata teh ahnimae lawk hah ngâi laipalah bout ao.
“This is an act of God,” the magicians told Pharaoh. But Pharaoh chose to be stubbornly hard-hearted, and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
20 BAWIPA ni hai nang ni amom thaw haw. Tui namran lah ka cet e Faro siangpahrang hmalah kangdout nateh BAWIPA ni, ka taminaw ni Kai na bawk nahanelah cetsak leih.
The Lord told Moses, “Tomorrow morning get up early and block Pharaoh's way as he walks down to the river. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
21 Na cetsak hoehpawiteh, nang hoi na sannaw, taminaw, imnaw dawkvah bitsei hah kai ni ka patoun vaiteh Izipnaw onae im, kangduenae talai teh bitsei hoi akawi han.
If you don't let my people leave, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, and on your people and your houses. Every Egyptian house and even the ground on which they stand will be filled with swarms of flies.
22 Kai teh talai van pueng dawk BAWIPA lah ka o e na panue thai nahanelah kaie taminaw onae Goshen ram dawk teh hote hnin nah kapek vaiteh, hote ram dawk bitsei awm mahoeh.
However, on this occasion I will treat the land of Goshen differently—that's where my people live—there won't be any swarms of flies there. This is how you will know that I, the Lord, am here in your country.
23 Hottelah ka taminaw hoi na taminaw rahak vah kapeknae ka o sak han. Tangtho vah hete mitnoutnaw teh ao han tie heh dei pouh telah Mosi koe atipouh.
I will distinguish my people from your people. You will see this sign that confirms it tomorrow.”
24 Hottelah BAWIPA ni a sak dawkvah Faro im hoi a kamtawng teh a sannaw e im hoi Izip ram pueng dawk bitsei moikapap a tho teh, hote bitseinaw kecu dawk Izip ram a rawk.
The Lord did what he had said. Huge swarms of flies swept into Pharaoh's palace and into the houses of his officials. The whole of Egypt was devastated because of these swarms of flies.
25 Hat navah, Faro siangpahrang ni Mosi hoi Aron a kaw teh, nangmouh ni hote ram dawk na Cathut koe thuengnae sak hanelah cet awh telah ati eiteh,
Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and told them, “Go and offer sacrifices to your God here in this country.”
26 Mosi ni hettelah sak hane nahoeh. Ka sak awh pawiteh, Izipnaw ni a panuet e hno hoi BAWIPA Cathut koe thuengnae ka sak awh han nahoehmaw. Izipnaw e mithmu vah ahnimouh hanlah panuettho e hno hoi thuengnae ka sak awh boipawiteh, talung hoi na dei awh mahoeh na maw.
“No, that wouldn't be the right thing to do,” Moses replied. “The sacrifices we offer to the Lord our God would be offensive to Egyptians. If we went ahead and offered sacrifices offensive to Egyptians, they'd stone us!
27 Hatdawkvah, kahrawng hnin thum lamcei koe, ka cei awh vaiteh kaimae BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e patetlah thuengnae ka sak awh han telah a dei pouh.
We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and offer sacrifices there to the Lord our God as he has told us.”
28 Faro siangpahrang ni hai nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah kahrawng vah na thueng awh nahanelah na cei awh han. Hatei, kahlat lah na cet awh mahoeh. Kai hanlah na kâhet pouh ei telah ati.
“I'll let you go and offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the desert, but don't go very far,” Pharaoh answered. “Now pray for me that this plague ends.”
29 Mosi ni hai nang koehoi kai ni ka cei vaiteh bitseinaw ni Faro siangpahrang hoi a sannaw, taminaw koehoi tangtho a tâco hanelah BAWIPA koe ka kâhei han. Hateiteh, Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA koe thueng hane bout na pasoung laipalah na dum awh hanh telah a dei pouh hnukkhu,
“As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the Lord,” Moses replied, “and tomorrow the flies will leave Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh should be sure not to be deceitful again and refuse to let the people go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.”
30 Mosi ni Faro koehoi a tâco teh, BAWIPA koe a kâhei pouh.
Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord,
31 BAWIPA ni hai Mosi lawk a ngâi teh, Bitseinaw hah Faro siangpahrang hoi a sannaw, a taminaw koehoi buet touh boehai ao hoeh nahanlah a takhoe pouh.
and the Lord did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. Not a single fly remained.
32 Hatnae tueng dawk haiyah, Faro siangpahrang lung bout a pata sak teh, Isarelnaw hah tha ngai laipalah bout ao.
But once again Pharaoh chose to be stubbornly hard-hearted and would not let the people leave.
