< Exodus 7 >

1 The Lord told Moses, “Look, I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseiyin, “Hiche hi phatechan ngaiyin. Pharaoh lengpa koma Pathen tobang'a kasem ding nahiye, chule na sopipa, Aaron, hi nang dia themgaova pang ding ahi.
2 You are to repeat everything that I tell you to say, and your brother Aaron must repeat it to Pharaoh so that he will let the Israelites leave his country.
Kathupeh jouse hi Aaron jah'a sei in lang, Aaron in Pharaoh heng'a Israel mite agamsung'a kon'a asol doh nading'a thu apeh tei ding ahi.
3 But I will give Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and though I will perform many signs and wonders in Egypt, he won't listen to you.
Ahinlah Keiman Pharaoh lungthim ka suhtah ding, chuteng melchihna le thil kidang tampi Egypt gamsung'a kapunsah ding ahi.
4 Then I will attack Egypt, imposing heavy punishments on them, and I will lead out by their tribes my people the Israelites.
Hiche a jong chu Pharaoh in na thu angai lou lai ding ahi. Keiman Egypt gamsung'a ka khut kahin lhanjah ding. Keiman ka thaneina kon - kamite, Israelte - Egypt gam'a kon thutanna gimnei tah pum'a ka huh doh ding ahiuve.
5 In this way the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord—when I take action against Egypt and lead the Israelites out of the country.”
Keiman ka khut ban thahat ka hinlhan'a Israelte kahin puidoh teng, Egypt miten Keima hi Pakai kahi ahin hetdoh diu ahitai.”
6 Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered.
Chuin Pakai thupeh bang'in Mose leh Aaron injong abol lhon tan, ahi.
7 Moses was eighty and Aaron was eighty-three when they went and spoke to Pharaoh.
Pharaoh heng'a ngehna aganei lai lhon chun, Mose kum somget ahitan, chule Aaron chu kum som get leh kum thum ahitai.
8 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Chuin Pakaiyin Mose leh Aaron heng'ah thu aseiyin,
9 “When Pharaoh asks you, ‘Why don't you perform a miracle, then?’ tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick and throw it down in front of Pharaoh,’ and it will turn into a snake.”
“Pharaoh in ngehna ahin nei ding, ‘thil kidang neivetsah lhonin.' hitobang ahin seiteng, Aaron henga seiyin ‘nateng gol chu la in lang Pharaoh masang laiya chun sep lhan, chuteng gul hung kisoh ding ahi.”
10 Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had ordered. Aaron threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it turned into a snake.
Chuin Mose leh Aaron jong Pharaoh heng'a achelhon in Pakai thupeh bang'in abol lhon tai. Aaron in tenggol chu Pharaoh le avaipipo teho angsung'a chun asep lhan ahile, gul ahung kisoh tai!
11 But Pharaoh called in wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts.
Hichun Pharaoh in ama miching ho le doithem ho a koukhom in, Egypt gamma mitphel doithem hon jong chuche tobang chu athemguh un abol'un ahi.
12 Each of them threw down their walking sticks and they also turned into snakes, but Aaron's walking stick swallowed up all their walking sticks.
Atenggol'u tol'a a seplha cheh uvin ahile, amahoa jong gul aki sohtai! Ahinlah Aaron tenggol chun amaho tenggolho chu aval lhum soh tai.
13 But Pharaoh had a hard, stubborn attitude, and he wouldn't listen to them, as the Lord had predicted.
Hicheng nung jeng hin jong Pakaiyin asei masat bang chun Pharaoh lungthim chu atah jing nalaiyin, thu ima ngaisah in anei hih laiye.
14 The Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh has a stubborn attitude—he's refusing to let the people go.
Chuin Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseiyin, “Pharaoh lungchang atah in, chule aman mipiho soldoh ding anom naipoi.
15 So tomorrow morning go to Pharaoh as he walks down to the river. Wait to meet him on the bank of the Nile. Take with you the walking stick that turned into a snake.
Hijeh chun jingkah teng Pharaoh vadung lam'a hung suh teng nangma na che ding. Nile vadung pam'a nadin ding, hikoma chu nakimupi ding ahi. Na tenggol gul kisoh chu kichoi teiyin.
16 Tell him: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you, ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me in the desert. But you have not listened up until now.
Chuteng akoma hiti hin seiyin, 'Pakai, Hebrew mite Pathen in nakoma thuseiya eihin sol ahi: “Kamite soldoh tan, chuteng amahon gamthip noiya keima eihou na ding uvin.” Tugeiyin, nangman ama thusei iman na ngaisah poi.
17 This is what the Lord is now telling you: This is how you will know that I am the Lord.’” “Watch! Using the walking stick I'm holding, I'm going to hit the water of the Nile, and it will turn to blood.
Hijeh a chu hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi: “Keima Pakai kahina ka kilah sah ding ahi.” Vetan! Ka khut'a um tenngol hi mang cha'a Nile twi kajep ding, chu teng vadung hi thisan kisoh ding ahi.
18 The fish in the Nile will die, the river will smell, and the Egyptians won't be able to drink any of its water.”
Asung'a Nga jouse thi ding, chule vadung uilhahel ding, Egypt miten Nile vadung'a kon twi adon thei lou hel diu ahitai,” ati.
19 The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your walking stick in your hand and hold it out over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers and canals and ponds and pools, so that they will turn to blood. There will be blood through all of Egypt, even in containers made of wood and stone.’”
Chu jongle Pakaiyin Mose heng ah aseiyin: “Aaron jah a seiyin, 'Na tenggol kimat in lang Egypt gam'a twi jouse chunga na khut jah in lang - vadung jouse, twinah jouse, luikhuh jouse chunga. Twi jouse thisan so sah tan. Egypt gam muntin'a twi jouse, thingtwikong le songkong jouse sunga twi jouse geiya thisan soh ding ahi.'”
20 Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered. While Pharaoh and all his officials watched, Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the water of the Nile. Immediately the whole river turned to blood!
Chuin Mose leh Aaron in jong Pakai thupeh bang'in abol lhon tan ahi. Pharaoh le athunei vaihomte hon avet laiyun, Aaron in jong a tenggol ajahdoh'in Nile luidung chu ajep jeng tan ahi. Phulou helouvin, Vadung twi apumpin thisan akisoh hel tan ahi.
21 The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so awful that the Egyptians could not drink its water. There was blood through all of Egypt!
Luidunga nga jouse athisoh heltan, chule twi anen behseh phat chun Egypt miten adon thei tapouvin ahi. Egypt gamsung pumpi mun jouse thisan dim ahitai.
22 But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. Pharaoh maintained his stubborn attitude and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
Ahivang'in Egypt gam'a mitphel doithem hon jong adoiyu mangchan amahon jong twi thisan asosah uvin ahi. Hijeh chun Pharaoh lungthim chu atah jing nalaiye. Pakaiyin asei bang in Mose leh Aaron thusei chu nahsah in anei hih laiye.
23 Pharaoh went back to his palace and didn't pay any attention to what had happened.
Pharaoh jong a leng inpi lam'ah akilen, hicheng thilsoh jouse ho chu alungthim'a gel lut kham asa hih laiye.
24 All the Egyptians dug alongside the Nile because they couldn't drink its water.
Ahin Egypt mite jousen luipang dung alai thuh'un twi akihol le tauvin ahi, ajeh chu amahon Nile luidunga twi chu a donthei tah louvu ahi.
25 Seven days went by after the Lord hit the Nile.
Pakaiyin Nile luidung ajep kal nisagi alhing tan ahi.
