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 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back to the king and tell him, ‘Yahweh says that you must let my people go, in order that they can worship me [in the desert].
2 Ka tâcawt sak mahoeh tetpawiteh na ram pueng ekka hoi bout ka rek han rah.
But if you refuse to let them go, I will punish you by sending frogs to cover 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.
[Not only] will the Nile [River] be full of frogs, [but] the frogs will come up [out of the river] into your palace. They will come into your bedroom and onto your bed. They will be in the houses of your officials and all [the rest of] your people. They will even get into your ovens and your pans for mixing the materials for baking bread.
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.
The frogs will jump up on you and your officials and [all the rest of] your people.’”
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.
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Say this to Aaron: ‘Hold your stick in your hand and stretch it out [as though you were stretching it] over the river, the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up [from all this water and] cover the land of 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.
[After Moses/I told that to] Aaron, he stretched out his hand [as though he were stretching it] over all the water in Egypt. And the frogs came up [from the water and] covered Egypt.
7 Camkathoumnaw ni hai camthoumnae lahoi hottelah a sak teh ekkanaw Izip ram dawk a thokhai awh.
But the men who performed magic did the same thing, and they caused [more] frogs to come up [from the water onto the land].
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.
Then the king summoned Moses/me and said, “Ask Yahweh to take away these frogs from me and my people. After that happens, I will allow your people to go, in order that they can offer sacrifices to Yahweh.”
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,
Moses/I said to the king, “I will be glad to pray for you and for your officials and for [the rest of] your people. [I will ask Yahweh] to get rid of the frogs from all your houses. The only frogs left will be [those] in the Nile [River]. Just tell me when I should pray.”
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,
He replied, “Tomorrow.” So Moses/I said, “[I will do] what you say, and then you will know that Yahweh God, the one we [worship, is the only true god], and that there is no other god like him.
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 officials and all [the rest of] your people. The only ones left will be in the Nile [River].”
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.
Aaron and Moses/I left the king. Then Moses/I prayed to Yahweh, [asking him to take away] all the frogs he had [brought to the king’s land].
13 Mosi ni a hei e patetlah BAWIPA Cathut ni a sak pouh teh, ekkanaw teh imnaw, khonaw, ayawnnaw dawk a due awh.
And Yahweh did just what Moses/I [asked him to do]. As a result, all the frogs in the houses, in their courtyards, and in the fields died.
14 A ronaw a pâkhueng awh dawkvah ram pueng dawk a hmui a tho.
The people gathered together all the dead frogs into big piles, and the land stank [from the smell].
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 the king saw that [the problem] was ended, he became stubborn [IDM] [again]. And just as Yahweh had predicted, he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/we told him.
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,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell Aaron to strike the ground with his stick. [When he does that], all the fine particles of ground/dust will become gnats, all over the land of 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.
So they/we did that. Aaron struck the ground with his stick, and all over Egypt, the fine particles of ground/dirt became gnats. The gnats covered the people and all [their] animals.
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 men who worked magic tried to cause gnats to appear, but they were unable to do it. So the gnats [stayed] on the Egyptian people and on their 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.
The men who worked magic said to the king, “It is God who has done this with his power [MTY]!” But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to us, just as Yahweh 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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. [Go down] to the river and wait for the king. [When he comes to bathe] [MTY], say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says to you: “Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
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.
[I warn you that] if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies to you. They will come down on you and on your officials and on [the rest of] your people. The houses of all you Egyptians will be full of flies. They will [even] cover the ground.
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.
But when that happens, I will treat the Goshen region, where my people live, differently. There will be no swarms of flies there. In that way, you will know that I, Yahweh, am doing these things [here] in this land.
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 clearly between [how I act toward] my people and [how I act toward] your people. And this plague is going to happen 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.
[Early the next morning, Moses/I told that to the king, but the king would not pay any attention]. So Yahweh did what he said he would do. He sent great swarms of flies into the palace of the king and into the houses of his officials. The whole country of Egypt was ruined by the 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,
Then the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You Israeli people can go and offer sacrifices to your god, [but you must do it] here in [this] land.”
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.
But Moses/I replied, “It would not be right [for us] to do that, because we will be offering sacrifices that are very offensive to the Egyptian people. If we offer sacrifices that the Egyptian people think are disgusting, they will kill us by throwing stones at us [RHQ]!
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.
No, we need to travel for three days into the desert. There we will offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God we worship, just as he commands (OR, has commanded) 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.
So the king said, “I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, your god, in the desert. But you must not go very far. [Now] pray for me!”
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,
Moses/I said, “Listen [to me]! After I leave you, I will pray to Yahweh, [asking] that tomorrow [he will cause] the swarms of flies to leave you and your officials and [the rest of] your people. But do not deceive us again by refusing to let our people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh!”
30 Mosi ni Faro koehoi a tâco teh, BAWIPA koe a kâhei pouh.
Then Moses/I left the king and prayed to Yahweh.
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 Yahweh did what Moses/I asked, and he got rid of the swarms of flies from [around] the king and his officials and [the rest of] his people. No flies remained.
32 Hatnae tueng dawk haiyah, Faro siangpahrang lung bout a pata sak teh, Isarelnaw hah tha ngai laipalah bout ao.
But the king was stubborn [IDM] this time also, and he did not allow the Israeli people to go.
