Exodus 3
1 Moses was a shepherd, looking after the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the Midianite priest. He led the flock far into the wilderness until he came to God's mountain, Mount Horeb.
Mosi ni Midian vaihma, a masei Jethro e tu hoi hmaenaw a khoum navah, thingyeiyawn e kanîloumlah a ceikhai teh, Horeb tie Cathut e mon koe a pha.
2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from inside a bush. Moses looked carefully and saw that though the bush was on fire, it wasn't being burned up.
Hatnavah, BAWIPA e kalvantami teh buruk dawk hoi ka tâcawt e hmaito lahoi a kamnue. Mosi ni a khet navah, hmai a to ei, buruk teh a kak hoeh e hah a hmu navah,
3 “Let me go over and take a look,” Moses said to himself. “It's very odd to see a bush that's not burning up.”
Bangkongmaw buruk kang laipalah ao. Hete kângairu e hno heh ka cei vaiteh ka khet han telah ati.
4 When the Lord saw that Moses was coming to take a look, God called to him from inside the bush, “Moses! Moses!” “I'm here,” Moses replied.
Mosi ni a khet e BAWIPA ni a hmu navah, Mosi, Mosi telah buruk thung hoiyah a kaw. Mosi ni hai ka o telah atipouh.
5 “Don't come any closer!” God told him. “Take off your sandals because you're standing on holy ground.”
Cathut ni hai hnai hanh. Na khokkhawm hah rading haw. Na kangduenae hmuen teh kathounge talai doeh.
6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses covered his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
Kai teh nange na pa e Cathut, Abraham e Cathut, Isak e Cathut, Jakop e Cathut, doeh telah atipouh. Mosi ni Cathut teh a khet ngam hoeh dawkvah a minhmai a ramuk.
7 “I'm completely aware of the misery of my people in Egypt,” the Lord told him. “I have heard them crying out because of their taskmasters. I know how much they're suffering.
BAWIPA ni hai Izip ram kaawm e ka taminaw e a khang e rektapnae hah kai ni khei ka hmu toe. Ahnimouh thaw ka tawksak e bawinaw kecu dawk ahnimae hramnae lawk ka thai teh, reithai khangnae hai ka panue.
8 That's why I have come down to rescue them from Egyptian oppression and to take them up from that country to a productive, wide-open land—a land flowing with milk and honey—where currently the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites are living.
Ahnimouh teh Izip ram, Izip taminaw e kut dawk hoi ratang vaiteh, Kanaannaw, Hitnaw, Amornaw, Periznaw, Hivnaw hoi Jebusitnaw onae ram, sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae ram dawk hrawi hanlah kai ka kum.
9 Listen! The cries of the Israelites have reached me, and I have seen how badly the Egyptians are mistreating them.
Atu haiyah, Isarelnaw khuika lawk kai koe a pha teh, Izipnaw ni ahnimouh rektapnae hai ka hmu toe.
10 Now you must leave, because I'm sending you to Pharaoh to lead my people Israel out of Egypt.”
Hatdawkvah, atu cet leih. Nang teh ka tami, Isarelnaw hah Izip ram hoi hrawi tâcokhai hanlah, nang teh Faro siangpahrang koe kai ni na patoun han telah atipouh.
11 But Moses said to God, “Why me? I'm a nobody! I couldn't go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt!”
Mosi nihai, kai teh bang patet e tami lah maw ka o teh, Faro siangpahrang koe ka cei vaiteh, Isarelnaw hah Izip ram hoi hrawi tâcokhai han telah Cathut koe atipouh navah,
12 “I'll be with you,” the Lord replied, “and this will be the sign that it is really me who is sending you: when you have led the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.”
Cathut ni atangcalah kai teh nang koe lah ka o han. Kai ni nang na patounnae mitnoutnae teh, nang ni hote taminaw hah Izip ram hoi hrawi tâcokhai hnukkhu, hete mon dawk Cathut na bawk han telah atipouh.
13 Then Moses said to God, “Look! If I were to go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ —then what should I tell them?”
Mosi nihai, kai ni Isarelnaw onae hmuen koe ka pha teh, nangmae mintoenaw e Cathut ni kai teh nangmouh koe na patoun toe telah kai ni ka dei pawiteh, ahnimouh ni hote Cathut e min teh apimaw telah kai bout na pacei awh navah, bangtelamaw bout ka dei pouh han telah Cathut koe a pacei.
14 God replied to Moses, “‘I Am’ is who I am. Tell the Israelites this: ‘I Am’ has sent me to you.”
Cathut ni hai KAI teh KAI doeh. KAI ka tet e ni kai teh nangmouh na onae hmuen koe na patoun toe telah Isarelnaw koe bout dei pouh telah Mosi koe atipouh.
15 Then God said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my name forever, the name you are to call me for all generations to come.’
Cathut ni Mosi koe bout a dei pouh e teh, nangmae mintoenaw e Cathut, Abraham e Cathut, Isak e Cathut, Jakop e Cathut lah kaawm e BAWIPA ni kai teh nangmouh koe na patoun toe, telah Isarelnaw koe na dei pouh han. Hote min teh a yungyoe e ka min lah ao teh catounnaw ni pahnim hoeh nahanelah ao.
16 Go, and call all the elders of Israel to meet with you. Tell them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, has appeared to me—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He said, “I have paid close attention to what's been happening to you in Egypt.
Cet nateh Isarel kacuenaw hah pâkhueng nateh, nangmae mintoenaw e Cathut, Abraham e Cathut, Isak e Cathut, Jakop e Cathut lah kaawm e BAWIPA ni kai koe a kamnue teh, nangmouh na khet awh navah, Izip ram vah nangmouh lathueng bangmaw a sak awh tie kamcengcalah ka hmu awh toe.
17 I have decided to take you away from the misery you're having in Egypt and bring you to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
Izip ram vah na khang a e rucatnae dawk hoi nangmouh na ratang vaiteh, Kanaannaw, Hit naw, Amor naw, Periznaw, Hiv naw hoi Jebusitnaw ram, sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae ram dawk hrawi kâenkhai hanlah kai ni lawk ka kam telah ahnimouh koe dei pouh.
18 “The elders of Israel will accept what you say. Then you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews has revealed himself to us. So please let us go three days journey into the desert so we can offer sacrifices to the Lord our God there.’
Ahnimouh ni nange lawk a ngâi awh vaiteh, nang ni Isarel kacuenaw hoi Izip siangpahrang koe na kâen vaiteh, Hebrunaw e BAWIPA Cathut teh kaimouh ni kâhmo awh toe. Ramke dawk hnin thum touh lam cei koe kamamae BAWIPA Cathut thuengnae sak thai hanelah, kâ na poe haw, telah na ti pouh han.
19 But I know that the king of Egypt won't let you go unless he's forced to do so by a power stronger than him.
Izip siangpahrang ni a thaonae kut laipalah teh, cei nahane kâ na poe awh mahoeh tie ka panue.
20 So I will use my power to inflict on Egypt all the terrifying things that I'm about to do to them. After that he'll let you go.
Kai ni hai kut ka daw vaiteh, Izip ram dawk ka sak hane kaie kângairunae hoi hote ram teh runae ka poe han. Hathnukkhu, Izip siangpahrang ni nangmouh teh na tâco sak awh han.
21 I will make the Egyptians treat you well as a people, so when you go you won't leave empty-handed.
Hote miphun teh Izipnaw koe minhmai kahawi a hmu sak vaiteh, nangmouh ni na tâco awh navah, kuthrawng hoi na tâcawt awh mahoeh.
22 Every woman will ask her neighbor as well as any woman living in her house for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, and put them on your sons and daughters. In this way you will take the wealth of the Egyptians with you.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, napui pueng ni imri, amamae im dawk kaawm e koe sui ngun hoi khohnanaw a hei awh vaiteh, nangmae na canaw hah a pathoup awh vaiteh, Izipnaw e hnopai hah na lawp awh han telah Mosi koe a dei pouh.
