< Exodus 4 >

1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice: for they will say, The LORD has not appeared to you.
Mosi ni, ahnimanaw ni kai na yuem awh mahoeh, ka lawk hai ngâi awh mahoeh, BAWIPA ni nang koe kamnuek mahoeh telah a ti awh han doeh atipouh.
2 And the LORD said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.
BAWIPA ni na kut dawk bang hno maw kaawm telah a pacei navah, sonron ao telah atipouh.
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
Talai dawk tâkhawng haw atipouh e patetlah a tâkhawng navah, sonron teh tahrun lah a coung teh, Mosi ni a yawng takhai.
4 And the LORD said to Moses, Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
BAWIPA ni na kut hoi a mai dawk man hottelah atipouh e patetlah Mosi ni a kut hoi a man navah, a kut dawk sonron lah bout a coung pouh.
5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.
Hottelah, na sak pawiteh ahnimae mintoenaw e Cathut, Abraham e Cathut, Isak e Cathut, Jakop e Cathut lah kaawm e BAWIPA ni nang koe a kamnuenae hah hote taminaw ni a yuem awh han telah atipouh.
6 And the LORD said furthermore to him, Put now your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
BAWIPA ni na kut na lungtabue thung tapu haw bout atipouh e patetlah a kut a lungtabue thung a tapu teh a rasa navah, a kut teh a hrikbei.
7 And he said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
Na kut hah na lungtabue dawk bout tapu atipouh e patetlah a kut a lungtabue dawk bout a tapu teh a rasa navah, hmaloe e patetlah bout a coung.
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe you, neither listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
Hote taminaw ni na yuem awh hoeh, hmaloe e mitnoutnae hai ngai awh hoehpawiteh, apâhni e mitnoutnae teh a yuem awh han.
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land: and the water which you take out of the river shall become blood on the dry land.
Hote mitnoutnae kahni touh e hah yuem awh hoeh, na lawk hai ngâi awh hoehpawiteh, Nai tui youn touh lat nateh a oung lah rabawk, hottelah tuipui dawk e la e tui teh talai kaphui dawk thi lah ao han telah atipouh.
10 And Moses said to the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since you have spoken to your servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
Hat navah Mosi ni BAWIPA koe Oe ka Bawipa, kai teh ha hoehnahlan hai na san koe lawk na dei hnukkhu hai lawk ka dei thai e lah kaawm hoeh. Lawkdei khokpakhak e lah ka o atipouh.
11 And the LORD said to him, Who has made man’s mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
BAWIPA ni hai tami e pahni apinimaw a sak. Lawka, hnâpang, mitdawn, mitang hah apinimaw a sak. Kai, BAWIPA ni ka sak e nahoehmaw.
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.
Hatdawkvah, atu cet leih. Na pahni dawk ka o vaiteh, nang ni bangtelamaw na dei han tie hah na cangkhai han telah atipouh.
13 And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray you, by the hand of him whom you will send.
Mosi ni Oe ka Bawipa, na ngai e tami e kut dawk mah poe lawih telah atipouh navah,
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a lungkhuek teh Levih tami Aron teh na hmau nahoehmaw. Ahni teh lawk a dei thai tie ka panue. Ahni teh nang dawn hanelah a tho lahun. Na kâhmo torei a lunghawi han.
15 And you shall speak to him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.
Nang ni ahni hoi kâpan nateh, ahni ni a dei hane lawk hah ka poe han. Nange pahni dawk thoseh, ahnie pahni dawk thoseh, Kai ka o vaiteh nangmouh roi ni bangtelamaw na sak han tie na cangkhai han.
16 And he shall be your spokesman to the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.
Ahni ni nange yueng lah a dei vaiteh, ahni teh nange pahni patetlah, nang hai ahnie Cathut patetlah na han.
17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do signs.
Nang ni mitnoutnaw na sak thai hanelah hete sonron haiyah, na kut dawk pou na sin han telah atipouh.
18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray you, and return to my brothers which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Mosi ni a masei Jethro koe a cei teh, Izip ram kaawm e ka miphunnaw ni paroup a hring rah maw telah khet hanelah, ahnimouh onae hmuen koe ka cei han telah a kâhei navah, Jethro ni lungmawngcalah hoi cet lawi bout atipouh.
19 And the LORD said to Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought your life.
Hat navah BAWIPA ni, Izip ram lah bout ban leih, nang na ka thet hane taminaw teh koung a due awh toe telah midian ram dawk Mosi koe atipouh.
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
Hat navah, Mosi ni a yu hoi capa kahni touh la a kâcui sak teh, Cathut e sonron hah a kut dawk a sin teh, Izip ram lah a ban.
21 And the LORD said to Moses, When you go to return into Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
BAWIPA ni hai nang ni Izip ram lah na ban teh na pha torei teh, na kut dawk Kai ni na poe e kângairu hnonaw pueng hah Faro siangpahrang hmalah sak pouh. Hottelah, na sak nakunghai, Kai ni ahni teh a lung ka pata sak vaiteh, ahni ni Isarel taminaw hah cetsak mahoeh.
22 And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
Hattoteh nang ni Faro siangpahrang koe BAWIPA ni Isarel teh ka camin doeh.
23 And I say to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your firstborn.
Ka ca ni Kai na bawk thai nahanlah cetsak loe, na cetsak hoehpawiteh, na camin hai Kai ni ka thei han telah na ti pouh han telah ati.
24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
Kahlawng a cei lahun nah, BAWIPA ni Mosi hah rim dawk a kâhmo teh thei hanlah a kâcai.
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband are you to me.
Hat navah, Zipporah ni lungtaw a la teh a capa e vuensom a a pouh hnukkhu, a vâ e khok a nep pouh hnukkhu, atangcalah nang teh thipaling ka lawngsakkung vâ lah doeh na o telah atipouh.
26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband you are, because of the circumcision.
Hat navah, Mosi hah a ceisak. A yu ni vuensomanae yawhawinae kecu dawk nang teh kai koe thipaling na ka palawng e vâ lah na o telah atipouh nae doeh.
27 And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
BAWIPA ni hai Mosi dawn hanelah kahrawng lah cet loe telah Aron koe atipouh e patetlah Aron ni a cei teh, Cathut e mon dawk Mosi hah a kâhmo teh a paco.
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
Mosi ni hai ama ka patoun e BAWIPA e lawknaw pueng thoseh, lawk a thui e mitnoutnaw thoseh, Aron koe a dei pouh.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
Hote hmaunawngha kahni touh roi ni Isarel tami kacuenaw a pâkhueng roi hnukkhu,
30 And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
Aron ni Mosi koe BAWIPA e a lawknaw pueng bout a dei teh, taminaw e hmalah mitnoutnaw a kamnue sak.
31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Hote taminaw ni hai a yuem awh. BAWIPA ni Isarel miphun hah a khetyawtnae thoseh, a khang awh e rektapnae thoseh, a hmu tie a thai awh toteh, a lûsaling awh teh a bawk awh.
