< Exodus 6 >
1 But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”
BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh taengah ka saii ham te na hmuh pawn ni. Tlungluen kut he amih taengah a tueih vetih tlungluen kutloh amih te a khohmuen lamloh a haek ni,” a ti nah.
2 God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.
Pathen loh Moses te a voek bal tih a taengah, “Kai tah Yahweh ni.
3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by My name the LORD I did not make Myself known to them.
Abraham taengah, Isaak taeng neh Jakob taengah Tlungthang Pathen la ka phoe coeng dae ka ming te amih taengah Yahweh la ka ming sak moenih.
4 I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.
Te dongah Kanaan khohmuen te amih taengah paek hamla amih taengah ka paipi te ka thoh bal. A khuiah ana bakuep nah te a lampahnah khohmuen ni.
5 Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant.
Kai loh Israel ca rhoek kah nguekcoinah te khaw ka yaak coeng. Egypt loh amih thohtat sak cakhaw ka paipi te ka poek.
6 Therefore tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek te thui pah. Kai BOEIPA loh nangmih te Egypt bitloh hmui lamkah kan loh vetih amih kah thohtatnah lamloh nangmih te kang huul ni. Nangmih te ban ka yueng vetih tholhphu tanglue neh kan tlan ni.
7 I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
Nangmih te kamah taengah pilnam la kan loh vetih nangmih taengah Pathen la ka om ni. Te vaengah Egypt bitloh hmui lamloh nangmih aka khuen BOEIPA na Pathen kamah he nan ming uh bitni.
8 And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”

9 Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.
Moses loh Israel loh ca rhoek taengah a thui dae mangkhak la thohtatnah neh mueihla kobawtnah dongah Moses ol te hnatun uh pawh.
10 So the LORD said to Moses,
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
11 “Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.”
Paan lamtah Egypt manghai Pharaoh te thui, Israel ca rhoek te a khohmuen lamloh hlah laeh saeh,” a ti nah.
12 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”
Tedae Moses loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah rhep a thui tih, “Israel ca rhoek long pataeng kai ol he a hnatun uh moenih he. Te dongah kai tah ka hmuilai aka ngun he Pharaoh loh metlam kai ol a hnatun eh?” a ti nah.
13 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih Israel ca kawng neh Egypt manghai Pharaoh kawng khaw, Egypt khohmuen lamloh Israel ca rhoek a khuen ham te khaw a uen.
