Exodus 6
1 But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”
BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh taengah ka saii ham te na hmuh pawn ni. Tlungluen kut he amih taengah a tueih vetih tlungluen kut loh amih te a khohmuen lamloh a haek ni,” a ti nah.
2 God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!
Pathen loh Moses te a voek bal tih a taengah, “Kai tah Yahweh ni.
3 I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’
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 confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living 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 In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.
Kai loh Israel ca rhoek kah nguekcoinah te khaw ka yaak coeng. Egypt loh amih thohtat sak cakhaw ka paipi te ka poek.
6 So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy punishments.
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 make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
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 I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”

9 Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.
Moses loh Israel loh ca rhoek taengah a thui dae mangkhak la thohtatnah neh mueihla kobawtnah dongah Moses ol te hnatun uh pawh.
10 Then the Lord said to Moses,
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
11 “Go and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him to let the Israelites leave his country.”
Paan lamtah Egypt manghai Pharaoh te thui, Israel ca rhoek te a khohmuen lamloh hlah laeh saeh,” a ti nah.
12 But Moses replied, “Even my own people don't listen to me. Why would Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I'm such a poor speaker?”
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.
