Tâconae 9
1 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, Faro siangpahrang koe cet nateh dei pouh, Hebrunaw e Cathut Jehovah ni, ka taminaw ni Kai koe thuengnae a sak awh hanelah tâcawt sak leih.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go to the king and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God [we] Hebrews [worship], says: “Allow my people to go, in order that they may worship me.
2 Ka cetsak mahoeh telah na cakâ rah boi pawiteh,
If you still keep refusing to let them go [DOU],
3 BAWIPA e thaonae kut teh ayawn e kaawm saring, marang, la, kalauk, tu, hoi maitonaw lathueng ka patawpoung e lacik ka pha sak han.
I warn you that I will punish you with my power [MTY] by sending a terrible disease on all your animals—on your horses, donkeys, camels, on your cattle, and on your flocks [of sheep and goats].
4 BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw e saring hoi Izipnaw e saring rahak kapeknae a tawn vaiteh Isarelnaw e saring teh buet touh boehai dout mahoeh.
But I, Yahweh, will distinguish between [what I do to] the animals that belong to the Israeli people and [what I do to] your animals. The result will be that no animal that belongs to the Israeli people will die.”’
5 Bawipa ni tueng a khoe e patetlah tangtho vah BAWIPA ni hete ram dawk a sak han telah ati.
[Tell him that] I have determined/decided that tomorrow is the day that I will do this in this land.”
6 A tangtho vah hote hno a sak teh, Izipnaw e saringnaw pueng koung a due. Hatei, Isarelnaw e saringnaw teh buet touh boehai dout hoeh.
The next day Yahweh did just what he said [that he would do]. A terrible disease afflicted all of the Egyptians’ animals, and many of them [HYP] died. But none of the Israeli people’s animals died.
7 Faro siangpahrang ni tami a patoun teh, Isarelnaw e saring buet touh boehai dout hoeh tie a panue. hat ei, a lung bout a pata teh Isarelnaw tâcawt sak hoeh.
The king sent [men to investigate], and they were surprised [to see] that none of the Israeli people’s animals had died. But [after they reported that to] the king, he continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he did not let the [Israeli] people go.
8 Bawipa ni takhuen dawk e hraba kut hoi pham nateh, Mosi ni Faro siangpahrang hmalah kahlun lah kahei naseh.
Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me, “Take a few handfuls of ashes/soot from (a furnace/an oven where they burn lime), and let Moses throw them up into the air, in front of the king.
9 Hote hraba teh Izip ram pueng dawk vaiphu dikkaneng e lah ao vaiteh, ram pueng dawk e tami hoi moithangnaw koe parep hoi kakawi e patawnae kathout lah ao han telah Mosi hoi Aron koe a dei pouh e patetlah,
The [ashes/soot] will spread all over the country of Egypt like fine dust. And the ashes/soot will cause boils to afflict both the Egyptian people and their animals, all over the land.”
10 ahnimouh roi ni takhuen dawk e hraba hah a pham teh Faro hmalah kangdue teh kahlun lah Mosi ni a kahei. Hote hraba teh tami hoi moithangnaw dawk parep hoi kakawi e yako patawnae lah ao.
So they/we both got some ashes/soot and [went and] stood in front of the king. Moses/I threw the ashes/soot up into the air. The ashes/soot spread all over, causing boils to afflict the [Egyptian] people and their animals. All the boils became open sores.
11 Mitpaleikathoumnaw ni yako kecu dawk Mosi hmalah kangdout ngam awh hoeh. Hote yako teh mitpaleikathoumnaw koe thoseh, Izip taminaw koe thoseh, koung a kâkai.
Even the men who worked magic had boils. The result was that [they were suffering so much that] they were not able to come to Moses/me, because the men who worked magic had boils just like all [the rest of] the Egyptian people.
12 BAWIPA ni Faro siangpahrang e lung a pata sak dawkvah, Mosi koe a dei pouh e patetlah ahnimae lawk hah ngâi laipalah ao.
But Yahweh caused the king to [continue to] be stubborn [IDM]. He did not pay any attention to what they/we [said], just as Yahweh had told Moses/me [would happen].
13 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, amom thaw nateh Faro hmalah kangdout nateh Hebrunaw e Cathut Jehovah ni, ka taminaw ni Kai na bawk thai nahanelah tâcawt sak leih.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. Go and stand in front of the king and tell him that Yahweh God, the one that the Hebrew people [worship], says this: ‘Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
14 Na hoehpawiteh, atu e tueng dawk teh, nang hoi na sannaw koe thoseh, na taminaw koe thoseh, Kaie reknae ka pha sak han. Kai patetlah e talai van pueng dawk awm hoeh tie hah na panue han.
[If you do not let them go], this time I will [punish] with plagues [not only] your officials and the rest of your people, but I will punish you yourself [SYN], in order that you will know there is no [god] like me anywhere in the world.
15 Ka kut ka dâw vaiteh nang hoi na taminaw hah lacik hoi ka rek han. Nang haiyah talai dawk hoi takhoe lah na o han.
By this time I could have used my power [MTY] to strike you and your people with terrible diseases that would have wiped you all from the earth.
16 Atangcalah, ka hnosakthainae hah nang patue hanelah, talai van pueng dawk ka min kamsawng nahanelah Kai ni nang teh na tawm toe.
But I have let you live. The reason I have let you live is to show you my power, with the result that [people] all over the earth [HYP] will know how great I [MTY] am.
17 Nang ni ka taminaw tâcawt sak laipalah na rektap rah maw.
You are still acting proudly and refusing to let my people go.
18 Khenhaw! Izip ram kamtawngnae koehoi atu totouh kabawt boihoeh e roun, tangtho atu e tueng dawk puenghoi ka rak sak han.
So listen [to this]: About this time tomorrow I will cause very heavy hail to fall [in Egypt]. From the time Egypt first became [a country], there has never been a hailstorm [as bad as this one will be].
19 Hatdawkvah, kahrawng kaawm e saringnaw hoi kaawm e pueng pakhum sak leih. Im na pakhum hoehpawiteh ayawn dawk hmu e tami pueng hoi saringnaw pueng, roun ni bawt sin vaiteh, koung a due awh hane hah dei pouh telah Mosi koe atipouh.
So you should send [a message to everyone] to put their cattle, and everything else that they own that is [out] in the fields, under shelters. The hail will fall on every person and every animal that is out in the fields and that is not put under a shelter, and they will all die.’” [So Moses/I did what Yahweh said].
20 BAWIPA e lawk ka taket e Faro siangpahrang e a sannaw teh a san hoi a saringnaw im lah a yawng sak.
Some of the king’s officials who heard what Yahweh had said became very afraid. So they put all their animals and their slaves under shelters.
21 BAWIPA e lawk banglahai ka ngai hoeh e taminaw teh a sannaw hoi a saringnaw teh ayawn dawk a ta awh.
But those who did not pay any attention to what Yahweh had said left their slaves and their animals in the fields.
22 BAWIPA ni Izip ram kho ka sak tami pueng lathueng thoseh, saringnaw pueng lathueng thoseh, ayawn dawk e thingkung pueng lathueng thoseh, roun a bo nahanelah na kut kahlun lah dâw telah Mosi koe atipouh.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Raise your hand up toward the sky, in order that hail will fall all over the land of Egypt—on the people and on their animals and on all the plants in the fields.”
23 Mosi ni a sonron kahlun lah a dâw navah, BAWIPA ni keitat hoi roun a patoun. Hmai hai talai dawk a bo. Hottelah BAWIPA ni Izip ram dawk, roun a bo sak dawkvah,
So Moses/I lifted his/my stick up toward the sky. And Yahweh sent down hail, all over the land of Egypt. There was also thunder and lightning.
24 Izip ram kamtawngnae koehoi vai touh hai ka bawt boihoeh e hmai hoi kâkalawt e roun puenghoi a bo.
While very heavy hail was falling, there was thunder, and lightning struck the ground. There had never been a hailstorm like that since Egypt first became a country.
25 Izip ram pueng, ayawn dawk kaawm e tami hoi saringnaw, phonaw, thingkungnaw pueng teh roun ni reprep a dei.
The hail struck everything that was in the fields all over Egypt—every person and every animal. The hail destroyed the plants in the fields and stripped [the leaves off] the trees.
26 Hateiteh, Isarelnaw khosaknae Goshen ram dawk dueng doeh roun bawt hoeh.
Only in the Goshen region, where the Israeli people were [living], was there no hail.
27 Hat navah, Faro ni Mosi hoi Aron kaw hanlah tami a patoun. Hete hno dawk kai ka yon toe. BAWIPA teh a lan. Kai hoi ka taminaw teh ka yon awh.
Then the king sent [someone] to summon Aaron and Moses/me. [When they/we came to the king], he said to them/us, “This time [I admit that] I have sinned. What Yahweh [has done] is right, and what I and my people [have done] is wrong.
28 A khout toe. Athakaawme keitat hoi roun puenghoi ka bawt e dap sak hanlah BAWIPA koe kâhet leih. Kai ni nangmouh ngang laipalah karanglah na ceisak han telah atipouh.
(Pray to/Plead with) Yahweh [to cause it to stop]! [We] cannot [endure any more] of this thunder and hail! I will let your people go; they do not have to stay [here in Egypt] any longer.”
29 Mosi ni hai khopui thung ka cei nah BAWIPA hmalah ka kut ka dâw han. BAWIPA ni talai pui a uk tie nang panue sak hanelah kei hoi roun ka bawt e a roum sak han.
Moses/I replied, “As soon as I go out of this city, I will lift up my hands [and pray] to Yahweh. Then the thunder will cease, and no more hail [will fall]. [This will happen] in order that you will know that Yahweh, [not your gods], controls everything [that happens] on the earth.
30 Hateiteh, nang hoi na sannaw ni BAWIPA Cathut na taket awh hoeh rah tie ka panue telah atipouh.
But as for you and your officials, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.”
31 Pahla hoi catun hai roun ni a dei. Catun teh a paw hoi akawi. Pahla haiyah a paw a tang toe.
When the hail fell, the flax was ruined because the buds were forming, and the barley was ruined because its grain was ripe.
32 Catun hoi cang teh a pâw hoeh rah dawkvah roun ni dêi hoeh.
But none of the wheat crops was ruined, because their shoots were still very small.
33 Mosi ni Faro koe khopui alawilah a cei hnukkhu, BAWIPA hmalah kuttabei a na teh, keitat hoi roun teh a roum. Talai kho hai rak hoeh toe.
So Moses/I left the king and went outside the city. He/I lifted up his/my hands toward Yahweh [and prayed]. Then the thunder and the hail stopped, and the rain also stopped falling on the land [of Egypt].
34 Hottelah, kho a dep, keitat hoi roun ka bawt e hai a roum e Faro siangpahrang ni a hmu navah, bout a yon awh teh a sannaw hoi a lung bout a pata awh.
But when the king saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had stopped, he sinned again. He and his officials continued to be stubborn [IDM].
35 Faro siangpahrang a lung bout a pata sak dawkvah, BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a dei pouh e patetlah Isarelnaw tâcawt sak laipalah bout ao.
So, just as Yahweh had predicted by what he told Moses/me, the king did not allow the Israeli people to leave.
