Exodus 3
1 Now Moses was pasturing the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro, a priest of Midian. And when he had driven the flock into the interior of the desert, he came to the mountain of God, Horeb.
Moses tah a masae, Midian khosoih Jethro kah boiva aka luem puei la om. Te vaengah boiva te khosoek haellaa hmaithawn hatah Pathen kah tlang Horeb la pawk.
2 And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. And he saw that the bush was burning and was not burnt.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawnte anih taengah tangpuem khui lamkah hmairhong hmai neha phoe pah. A sawt vaengah tangpuemte hmai loha dom dae tangpuemte tlum pawh.
3 Therefore, Moses said, “I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”
Te dongah Moses loh, “Ka nong vetih a hmuethma tanglue he ka hmu lah eh. Balae tih tangpuem ke a ung pawh,” a ti.
4 Then the Lord, discerning that he proceeded on to see it, called to him from the midst of the bush, and he said, “Moses, Moses.” And he responded, “Here I am.”
Hmuh hamla a nong te BOEIPA loh a hmuh. Te dongah Pathen loh anih te tangpuem khui lamkah a khue tih, “Moses, Moses,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni he ue,” a ti nah.
5 And he said: “Lest you should approach here, remove the shoes from your feet. For the place on which you stand is holy ground.”
Te vaengah, “Hela ha mop boeh. Na khokhomte na kho dong lamloh dul dae, a soah na pai thil hmuen he hmuencim khohmuen ni,” a ti nah.
6 And he said, “I am the God of your father: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face, for he dared not look directly at God.
Te phoeiah, “Kai tah na pa Pathen, Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen neh Jakob kah Pathen ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Moses loh a maelhmai a thuh tih Pathen te paelki ham khaw a rhih.
7 And the Lord said to him: “I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their outcry because of the harshness of those who are over the works.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Egypt ah ka pilnam kah phacipphabaem te ka hmuh rhoe ka hmuh coeng tih anih aka tueihno mikhmuh kah a pangngawlnah te ka yaak. Te phoeiah a nganboh te ka ming coeng.
8 And knowing their sorrow, I have descended in order to free them from the hands of the Egyptians, and to lead them from that land into a good and spacious land, into a land which flows with milk and honey, to the places of the Canaanite, and Hittite, and Amorite, and Perizzite, and Hivite, and Jebusite.
Egypt kut lamloh anih huul ham nehte khohmuen lamloh khohmuen then neh hubung khuila, suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen la, Kanaan neh Khitti, Amori neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi hmuen la thak ham ka suntla coeng.
9 And so, the outcry of the sons of Israel has come to me. And I have seen their affliction, with which they are oppressed by the Egyptians.
Israel carhoek pangngawlnah loh kai taengla ha pawk coeng tih amih aka nen Egypt kah nennah khaw ka hmuh coeng he.
10 But come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may lead my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.”
Pharaoh taengla nang kan tueih coeng dongah cet lamtah ka pilnam Israel ca rhoek te Egypt lamloh khuen laeh,” a ti nah.
11 And Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should lead the sons of Israel out of Egypt?”
Tedae Moses loh Pathen te, “Pharaoh taengla ka caeh ham neh Egypt lamloh Israel ca rhoek khuen ham khaw kai tah unim?” a ti nah.
12 And he said to him: “I will be with you. And you will have this as a sign that I have sent you: When you will have brought my people out of Egypt, you will offer sacrifice to God upon this mountain.”
Te vaengah, “Nang taengah rhep ka om vetih he he nang ham miknoek coeng ni. Kai loh nang kan tueih coeng tih pilnam te Egypt lamloh na khuen vaengah he tlang ah Pathen te thothueng thil uh,” a ti nah.
13 Moses said to God: “Behold, I will go to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ If they say to me, ‘What is his name?’ What shall I say to them?”
Tedae Moses loh Pathen taengah, “Israel carhoek taengla ka pawk tih amih te, 'Na pa rhoek kah Pathen loh nangmih taengla kai n'tueih,’ ka tinah vaengah kai te, 'A ming ta?' ti uh koinih amih taengah balae ka thui eh? ' a ti nah.
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO AM.” He said: “Thus shall you say to the sons of Israel: ‘HE WHO IS has sent me to you.’”
Pathen loh Moses taengah, “Ka om bangla ka om coeng,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “He Israel ca rhoek te, 'Akaom long ni nangmih taengla kai n'tueih,’ ti nah,” a ti.
15 And God said again to Moses: “Thus shall you say to the sons of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is the name for me in eternity, and this is my memorial from generation to generation.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Moses te, “He he Israel carhoek taengah, 'Na pa rhoek kah Pathen, Abraham kah Pathen, Isaak Pathen, Jakob Pathen BOEIPA loh kai he nangmih taengla n'tueih,’ ti nah. He tah kumhal kah kai ming ham neh Cadilcahma kah cadilcahma taengah kai poekkoepnah ni.
16 Go and gather together the elders of Israel, and you shall say to them: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying: When visiting, I have visited you, and I have seen all that has befallen you in Egypt.
Cet lamtah Israel kah patongrhoek te coi laeh. Te phoeiah amih te, “Na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPAte kai taengah phoe coeng. Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob kah Pathen loh, 'Nangmih neh nangmih taengah Egypt kaha saii te ka hip rhoe ka hip coeng.
17 And I have spoken in order to lead you out of the affliction of Egypt, into the land of the Canaanite, and Hittite, and Amorite, and Perizzite, and Hivite, and Jebusite, into a land flowing with milk and honey.’
Te dongah ni nangmih te Egypt kah phacipphabaem lamloh Kanaan neh Khitti, Amori neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi khohmuen la, suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen la kang khuen eh ka ti coeng.
18 And they shall hear your voice. And you shall enter, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him: ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has called us. We shall go three days’ journey into the wilderness, in order to offer sacrifice to the Lord our God.’
Te vaengah na ol tea hnatun uh bitni. Namah neh Israel kah a hamca rhoek te Egypt manghai taengla cet uh. Te phoeiah anih te, 'Hebrew kah Pathen BOEIPA loh kaimih he m'mah coeng. Te dongah hnin thum long caeh kah khosoek ah BOEIPA ka Pathen te ka nawn mai pawn eh?,’ ti nah.
19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not release you, unless you go out by a powerful hand.
Tedaea tlungluen kut nen pawt atahna caeh ham khaw Egypt manghai loh nangmih m'pae mahpawh tila ka ming.
20 For I will extend my hand, and I will strike Egypt with all my wonders that I will do in the midst of them. After these things, he will release you.
Te dongah ka kut he ka hlah vetih Egypt te ka ngawn ni. Kamah kah khobaerhambae cungkuem neh a khui ah ka saii daengah ni nangmih te n'tueih pueng eh.
21 And I will grant favor to this people in the sight of the Egyptians. And so, when you go forth, you shall not go out empty.
Pilnam he Egypt mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka khueh vetihna caeh uh vaengah khaw kuttling la na cet uh mahpawh.
22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and of her hostess vessels of silver and of gold, as well as garments. And you shall set them upon your sons and daughters, and you shall despoil Egypt.”
Te dongah huta loh a imben taeng neh a im kah aka bakuep taengah ngun hnopai neh sui hnopai khaw, himbai khaw hoe saeh. Te phoeiah tah na capa rhoek so neh na canu rhoek pum dongla khueh uh lamtah Egypt kah te huul pa uh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
