< Exodus 10 >
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials, that I may perform these miraculous signs of Mine among them,
BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh te paan laeh, a khui ah ka miknoek ka khueh ham dongah ni amah lungbuei neh a sal rhoek kah lungbuei khaw ka thangpom sak.
2 and that you may tell your children and grandchildren how severely I dealt with the Egyptians when I performed miraculous signs among them, so that all of you may know that I am the LORD.”
Te daengah ni na ca rhoek neh na ca kah a ca hna dongah Egypt te ka poelyoe tih amih taengah ka miknoek ka khueh te na tae uh vetih tite kai he Yahweh la nan ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
3 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
Te dongah Moses neh Aaron te Pharaoh taengah cet tih anih te, “Hebrew kah Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Me hil nim ka mikhmuh ah yalh ham na aal ve, ka pilnam te hlah lamtah kai ham thothueng uh saeh.
4 But if you refuse to let My people go, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
Tedae ka pilnam te hlah ham na aal atah na khorhi la thangvuen ah kaisih kang khuen ni ne.
5 They will cover the face of the land so that no one can see it. They will devour whatever is left after the hail and eat every tree that grows in your fields.
Te vaengah diklai hman he a thing vetih lai he tueng thai mahpawh. Rhael lamloh nangmih taengah aka sueng rhalyong hlangrhuel han caak vetih khohmuen ah nangmih ham aka duei thingkung boeih khaw a caak ni.
6 They will fill your houses and the houses of all your officials and every Egyptian—something neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since the day they came into this land.’” Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.
Namah im neh na sal boeih kah im ah khaw, Egypt pum kah im ah khaw bae ni. Diklai ah a om uh hnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela na pa rhoek neh na pa kah a napa rhoek loh a hmuh uh noek moenih,” a ti nah rhoi. Te phoeiah mael rhoi tih Pharaoh taeng lamloh nong rhoi.
7 Pharaoh’s officials asked him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the LORD their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is in ruins?”
Te vaengah Pharaoh kah sal rhoek loh a taengah, “Me hil nim mamih taengah hlaeh la a om ve he. tongpa rhoek te tueih mai lamtah a Pathen Yaweh taengah thothueng uh saeh, Egypt a rhawp coeng he na ming hlan nim?” a ti uh.
8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” he said. “But who exactly will be going?”
Te dongah Moses neh Aaron te Pharaoh taengla a mael puei uh tih amih rhoi te, “Cet uh lamtah na Pathen Yahweh taengah thothueng uh. Tedae ubang ubang lae a caeh eh?” a ti nah.
9 “We will go with our young and old,” Moses replied. “We will go with our sons and daughters, and with our flocks and herds, for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
Te phoeiah Moses loh, “Camoe neh patong khaw ka cet uh vetih, ka capa neh ka canu khaw, ka boiva neh ka saelhung neh ka BOEIPA kah khotue te ka paan uh ni,” a ti nah.
10 Then Pharaoh told them, “May the LORD be with you if I ever let you go with your little ones. Clearly you are bent on evil.
Te phoeiah amih rhoi te, “BOEIPA te nangmih taengah om tangloeng saeh. Nangmih neh na camoe rhoek te kan hlah sitoe cakhaw na maelhmai ah boethae phaeng tueng.
11 No, only the men may go and worship the LORD, since that is what you have been requesting.” And Moses and Aaron were driven from Pharaoh’s presence.
Te tlam moenih. Te te na hoe uh dongah tongpa rhoek te cet uh lamtah BOEIPA taengah thothueng uh laeh,” a ti nah tih amih rhoi te Pharaoh mikhmuh lamloh a haek.
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt, so that the locusts may swarm over it and devour every plant in the land—everything that the hail has left behind.”
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Kaisih ham te Egypt khohmuen ah na kut thueng laeh. Te vaengah Egypt Khohmuen ah pongpa vetih rhael loh a hlun boeih neh khohmuen baelhing boeih te a caak bitni,” a ti nah.
13 So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and throughout that day and night the LORD sent an east wind across the land. By morning the east wind had brought the locusts.
Te dongah Moses loh a conghol te Egypt khohmuen la a thueng. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh khothoeng yilh te khohmuen sola khohnin yung neh khoyin puet ah a thawn pah. Mincang a pha vaengah kanghawn yilh loh kaisih a khuen pah.
14 The locusts swarmed across the land and settled over the entire territory of Egypt. Never before had there been so many locusts, and never again will there be.
Kaisih khaw Egypt khohmuen tom ah van tih Egypt khorhi boeih ah bop. A mikhmuh ah tlung khungdaeng coeng tih te bang kaisih te ana om noek pawt tih te hnukah khaw om bal mahpawh.
15 They covered the face of all the land until it was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left behind. Nothing green was left on any tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
Diklai hman te boeih a thing tih diklai khaw hmuep. Diklai baelhing boeih neh rhael loh a hlun thing thaih boeih te a caak. Te dongah thing hing neh lohma baelhing boeih tah Egypt khohmuen tom ah sueng voel pawh.
16 Pharaoh quickly summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
Te vaengah Pharaoh tah Moses neh Aaron te khue hamla tokthuet tih, “Na Pathen Yahweh teang neh nangmih taengah ka tholh coeng.
17 Now please forgive my sin once more and appeal to the LORD your God, that He may remove this death from me.”
Te dongah ka tholhnah he phuei mai laeh. Na Pathen BOEIPA taengah vai mah thangthui rhoi lamtah dueknah he khaw kai taeng lamloh nong sak saeh,” a ti nah.
18 So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
Te dongah Pharaoh taeng lamloh nong rhoi tih BOEIPA taengah a thangthui pah.
19 And the LORD changed the wind to a very strong west wind that carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust remained anywhere in Egypt.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh khotlak yilh te bahoeng a tlungluen la a maelh tih kaisih te a khuen. Carhaek tuipuei la a yawn tih Egypt khorhi tom ah kaisih pakhat khaw hlun pawh.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
Tedae BOEIPA loh Pharaoh lungbuei te te a moem pah dongah Israel ca rhoek te hlah pawh.
21 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a palpable darkness.”
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Vaan la na kut thueng lamtah a hmuep loh Egypt khohmuen a tlak thil vaengah a hmuep te phatuem saeh,” a ti nah.
22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days.
Te dongah Moses loh a kut te vaan la a thueng tih Egypt khohmuen boeih te khohmuep hmaisuep loh hnin thum a khuk.
23 No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.
Hlang loh a manuca khaw hmu pawt tih hlang he amah lamloh hnin thum khuiah thoo uh voel pawh. Tedae Israel ca boeih ham tah a tolrhum ah vangnah om.
24 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your little ones may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”
Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Moses te a khue tih, “Cet uh lamtah BOEIPA taengah thothueng uh. Tedae na boiva neh na saelhung te khueh lamtah na ca rhoek khaw namamih neh cet uh,” a ti nah.
25 But Moses replied, “You must also provide us with sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God.
Tedae Moses loh, “Namah long khaw kaimih kut ah hmueih neh hmueihhlutnah te nam paek uh daengah man ka Pathen Yahweh te ka nawn uh thai ve.
26 Even our livestock must go with us; not a hoof will be left behind, for we will need some of them to worship the LORD our God, and we will not know how we are to worship the LORD until we arrive.”
Te dongah ka boiva khaw kamamih neh ka puei uh vetih a khomae pataeng hlun mahpawh. Kaimih kah Pathen Yahweh taengah thothueng ham vaengah te khui lamkah ni ka loh uh eh. Tedae te la ka pawk uh hlan atah BOEIPA taengah metla thothueng ham khaw ka ming uh moenih,” a ti.
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let them go.
BOEIPA loh Pharaoh lungbuei te a moem pah dongah amih te hlah ham huem pawh.
28 “Depart from me!” Pharaoh said to Moses. “Make sure you never see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.”
Te dongah anih te Pharaoh loh, “Kai taeng lamloh nong laeh, nang te ngaithuen, ka maelhmai hmuh ham koei voel boeh, ka maelhmai na hmuh hnin ah na duek ni,” a ti nah.
29 “As you say,” Moses replied, “I will never see your face again.”
Te dongah Moses loh, “Na thui bangla na maelhmai hmuh ham koep ka khoep mahpawh,” a ti nah.
