< Exodus 4 >

1 Then Moses answered, and said, But lo, they will not beleeue me, nor hearken vnto my voyce: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared vnto thee.
Tedae Moses loh a doo tih, “Kai he n'tangnah uh pawt koinih kai ol he hnatun pawt vetih, ‘Nang taengah BOEIPA a phoe moenih,’ a ti uh ni,” a ti nah.
2 And the Lord said vnto him, What is that in thine hande? And he answered, A rod.
Te dongah amah te BOEIPA loh, “Na kut dongkah te balae?” a ti nah hatah, “Conghol,” a ti nah.
3 Then said he, Cast it on the ground. So he cast it on the grounde, and it was turned into a serpent: and Moses fled from it.
Te phoeiah, “Te te diklai la voei lah,” a ti nah tih diklai la a voeih. Te vaengah rhul la a poeh pah dongah Moses khaw a taeng lamloh rhaelrham.
4 Againe the Lord saide vnto Moses, Put foorth thine hand, and take it by the tayle. Then he put foorth his hande and caught it, and it was turned into a rod in his hand.
Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Na kut yueng lamtah a mai ah tu,” a ti nah. A kut a yueng tangloeng tih a tuuk vaengah tah a kut dongah conghol la poeh.
5 Do this that they may beleeue, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath appeared vnto thee.
Te dongah a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA, Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen, Jakob Pathen tah nang taengah phoe tila a tangnah uh bitni.
6 And the Lord saide furthermore vnto him, Thrust nowe thine hand into thy bosome. And he thrust his hand into his bosome, and when he tooke it out againe, behold, his hand was leprous as snowe.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh anih te, “Na kut te na rhang ah puei bal dae,” a ti nah. A kut te a rhang ah a puei tangloeng tih a yueh vaengah tah a kut te vuelsong bangla a pahuk pah.
7 Moreouer he said, Put thine hand into thy bosome againe. So he put his hande into his bosome againe, and pluckt it out of his bosome, and behold, it was turned againe as his other flesh.
Te phoeiah, “Na kut te na rhang ah koep puei lah,” a ti nah. A kut te a rhang ah a puei tangloeng tih a rhang lamloh a yueh vaengah tah a saa thim la tarha a om pah.
8 So shall it be, if they wil not beleeue thee, neither obey the voyce of ye first signe, yet shall they beleeue for the voyce of the seconde signe.
“Nang te n'tangnah uh pawt akhaw ana om ngawn saeh. Lamhma kah miknoek ol te a yaak pawt atah a pabae kah miknoek ol te tangnah uh saeh.
9 But if they will not yet beleeue these two signes, neither obey vnto thy voyce, then shalt thou take of the water of the riuer, and powre it vpon the drie lande: so the water which thou shalt take out of the riuer, shalbe turned to blood vpon the drie land.
Tedae miknoek rhoi dongkah he khaw tangnah uh pawt tih na ol te a yaak uh pawt akhaw ana om saeh. Sokko lamkah tui te lo lamtah laiphuei te bueih pah. Sokko lamkah na loh tui te poehlip vetih laikoeng dongah thii la poeh ni,” a ti nah.
10 But Moses said vnto the Lord, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither at any time haue bene, nor yet since thou hast spoken vnto thy seruant: but I am slowe of speach and slowe of tongue.
Te vaengah Moses loh BOEIPA te, “Aw ka Boeipa, hlaem ah khaw, hlaemvai ah khaw na sal taengah na thui vaeng lamlong mah kai he olka dongah ka hlang voel moenih. Te dongah ka ka tonga tih ka ol khol,” a ti nah.
11 Then the Lord said vnto him, Who hath giuen the mouth to man? or who hath made the domme, or the deafe, or him that seeth, or the blinde? haue not I the Lord?
Tedae BOEIPA loh amah te, “Hlang ham ka aka khueh pah te unim? Olmueh neh hnapang, miktueng neh mikdael aka khueh te unim? BOEIPA kamah moenih a?
12 Therefore goe nowe, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
Te dongah cet laeh lamtah na hmuilai dongah kamah ka om vetih na thui ham te kan thuinuet bitni,” a ti nah.
13 But he saide, Oh my Lord, sende, I pray thee, by the hande of him, whome thou shouldest sende.
Tedae, “Aw ka Boeipa, na tueih akhaw kuttoem mah tueih laeh,” a ti nah.
14 Then the Lord was verie angrie with Moses, and said, Doe not I know Aaron thy brother the Leuite, that he himselfe shall speake? for loe, he commeth also foorth to meete thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek te Moses taengah sai tih, “Na manuca Aaron te Levi moenih a? Ka ming ta, thui ham koi te anih loh a thui ta. Te dongah anih khaw nang doe ham ha lo coeng. Te vaengah nang m'hmuh vetih a lungbuei ah a kohoe bitni.
15 Therefore thou shalt speake vnto him, and put the wordes in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye ought to doe.
Anih te voek tangloeng lamtah olka he a hmuilai ah khueh pah. Kai he nang kah hmuilai dongah khaw anih kah hmuilai dongah khaw ka om vetih na saii ham te nang kan thuinuet bitni.
16 And he shall be thy spokesman vnto the people: and he shall be, euen he shall be as thy mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God.
Te phoeiah anih te pilnam taengah nang yueng la cal saeh lamtah nang kah hmuilai la om rhoe om saeh. Nang ngawn tah anih taengah Pathen bangla na om ni.
17 Moreouer thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do miracles.
Tedae he conghol he na kut dongah pom lamtah te nen te miknoek saii,” a ti nah.
18 Therefore Moses went and returned to Iethro his father in lawe, and said vnto him, I pray thee, let me goe, and returne to my brethren, which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet aliue. Then Iethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Te daengah Moses te cet tih a masae Jether taengla mael. Te phoeiah a masae taengah, “Ka cet pawn saeh lamtah Egypt kah ka manuca rhoek taengah ka mael mai eh. Amih kah hingnah khaw ka hmuh pueng khaming,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jethro loh Moses te, “Sading la cet ne,” a ti nah.
19 (For the Lord had said vnto Moses in Midian, Goe, returne to Egypt: for they are all dead which went about to kill thee)
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Midian kah Moses te, “Cet lamtah Egypt la mael laeh, nang kah hinglu aka mae hlang khaw boeih duek uh coeng,” a ti nah.
20 Then Moses tooke his wife, and his sonnes, and put them on an asse, and returned towarde the lande of Egypt, and Moses tooke the rod of God in his hand.
Te dongah Moses loh a yuu neh a ca rhoek te a loh tih laak dongah a ngol sak. Tedae Egypt kho la a mael vaengah Moses loh Pathen kah conghol ni a kut dongah a pom.
21 And the Lord saide vnto Moses, When thou art entred and come into Egypt againe, see that thou doe all the wonders before Pharaoh, which I haue put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, and he shall not let the people goe.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Na caeh vaengah Egypt la mael. Na kut dongah kopoekrhai cungkuem kam paek te tueng. Te te Pharaoh mikhmuh ah saii pah. Tedae kai loh a lungbuei ka moem vetih pilnam te hlah mahpawh.
22 Then thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my sonne, euen my first borne.
Tedae Pharaoh te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Israel tah ka capa neh ka caming ni.
23 Wherefore I say to thee, Let my sonne go, that he may serue me: if thou refuse to let him goe, beholde, I will slay thy sonne, euen thy first borne.
Te dongah namah taengah khaw ka thui coeng. Ka ca te tueih lamtah kai ham thothueng saeh. Tedae anih hlah ham na aal atah kai loh na capa khuikah na caming te ka ngawn ni ne,” a ti.
24 And as he was by the waye in the ynne, the Lord met him, and would haue killed him.
Longpuei kah rhaehim ah a om vaengah anih te BOEIPA neh hum uh tih ngawn la cai.
25 Then Zipporah tooke a sharpe knife, and cut away the foreskinne of her sonne, and cast it at his feete, and said, Thou art indeede a bloody husband vnto me.
Te vaengah Zipporah loh hmailung a loh tih a capa kah hmuicue te a hlueng pah. Te phoeiah a kho ah a net tih, “Nang tah kai ham thii dongkah yulokung ni,” a ti nah.
26 So he departed from him. Then she saide, O bloodie husband (because of the circumcision)
Te daengah BOEIPA te Moses taeng lamloh nong. [Te vaengah hmuicuerhetnah te ni thii dongkah yulokung la a thui].
27 Then the Lord saide vnto Aaron, Goe meete Moses in the wildernesse. And he went and mette him in the Mount of God, and kissed him.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Aaron taengah, “Khosoek la cet lamtah Moses te doe laeh,” a ti nah. A caeh tangloeng vaengah tah amah neh Pathen kah tlang ah hum uh tih a mok.
28 Then Moses tolde Aaron all the wordes of the Lord, who had sent him, and all the signes wherewith he had charged him.
Te phoeiah Moses loh amah a tueih tih miknoek cungkuem neh amah a uen bangla BOEIPA ol boeih te Aaron hma ah a thui pah.
29 So went Moses and Aaron, and gathered all the Elders of the children of Israel.
Moses neh Aaron te cet tih Israel ca a ham boeih te a coi rhoi.
30 And Aaron told all the wordes, which the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, and he did the miracles in the sight of the people,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses taengkah a thui ol boeih te Aaron loh a thui pah tih pilnam mikhmuh ah miknoek khaw a tueng sak.
31 And the people beleeued, and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and had looked vpon their tribulation, they bowed downe, and worshipped.
Pilnam loh a tangnah vaengah tah BOEIPA loh Israel ca a hip tih, amih kah phacipphabaem a hmuh pah te khaw a yaak uh dongah buluk uh tih a bawk uh.
