< Exodus 5 >

1 And after this went in Moses and Aaron to Pharao, and they said to him, These things says the Lord God of Israel, Send my people away, that they may keep a feast to me in the wilderness.
Hicheng jouse chu Israel upa hole lamkai chengse heng'a asei peh chai lhon phat'in, Pharaoh heng'a Mose le Aaron achelhon in aga sei lhon tai. “Hiche hi ahi Israelte Pakai, Pathen in asei chu: gamthip noiya kami Israelten keima jabol naa kut abolna diuvin soltauvin,” tin amapa henga asei lhon tai.
2 And Pharao said, Who is he that I should listen to his voice, so that I should send away the children of Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.
Pharaoh in ale donbut in, “Hichu hi mong ham? Pakai kitipa chu koiham? Keiman ipi jeh a ama thu kangaiya Israelte chu kasol doh ding ham? Pakai kitipa chu keiman kahekha poi, chule keiman Israelte kasol doh lou ding ahi,” ati.
3 And they say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us to him: we will go therefore a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest at any time death or slaughter happen to us.
Ahinlah Aaron leh Mose apang tinten lhon in, “Hebrew mite Pathen chun eikimupi lhon ahi,” tin aphongdoh lhon'e. “Hijeh chun ni thum sung'a gamthip a kache uva Pakai ka Pathen'u henga kilhaina ka ga sem na diuvin neisol tauvin. Achuti louva ahile, Pakaiyin gamna hise ahinlan sah ding ahilou leh chemjam'a eitha gam diu ahi,” ati lhon'e.
4 And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, turn the people from their works? depart each of you to your works.
Pharaoh in a donbut in, “Mose leh Aaron, ipi ding'a mipite ana toh nauva konna alungu nalahmang lhon'a nasuboi lhon ham? Na kitoh kit tauvin!
5 And Pharao said, Behold now, the people is very numerous; let us not then give them rest from their work.
Ven, “Gamsung'a namite hi tampi ahiuvin, ahin nangnin amaho hi anatoh nau natansah lhon tai,” ati.
6 And Pharao gave orders to the taskmasters of the people and the accountants, saying,
Hiche nikho mama chun Pharaoh in Egypt mite ding'a soh natong vaipo ho leh Israel lamkai ho chu hiche thupeh hi ape tan ahi:
7 You shall no longer give straw to the people for brick-making as yesterday and the third day; but let them go themselves, and collect straw for themselves.
“Chehlhang semna ding'in changpol pe tahih un. Ama ama cheh kihol sah tauvin!
8 And you shall impose on them daily the rate of brick-making which they perform: you shall not abate anything, for they are idle; therefore have they cried, saying, Let us arise and do sacrifice to our God.
Ahivang'a masang'a na bolsah ngai bang'uva chehlhang nasem sah jat u kibanga nasem sah dingu ahi. Achanvou u lhom jong lhom sah hih un. Athase gam tauve. Hijeh chun amahon, 'cheu hitin I-Pathen'u henga kilhaina gasem tauhite,' tia asap jengu ahi, ati.
9 Let the works of these men be made grievous, and let them care for these things, and not care for vain words.
Achung'uva natoh hahsa cheh koibe peh un! A-ulsau lonsah un! Hichun jou thu angaisah lou na diuva ahil dingu ahi!” ati.
10 And the taskmasters and the accountants hastened them, and they spoke to the people, saying, thus says Pharao, I [will] give you straw no longer.
Hichun soh natong vaipo ho leh natong lamkai ho chu acheuvin mipi ho heng'a asei peh tauvin: “Pharaoh in asei hiche hi ahi: Tuapat changpol kapeh talou ding'u nahi.
11 Go you, yourselves, get for yourselves straw whenever you can find it, for nothing is diminished from your rate.
Cheuvin lang nangma nangman ga kipoh uvin. Hoilaimun hijongle namu thei chan'un ga kihol tauvin. Ahinlah masanga banga chehlhang atam nathei chan'a na sem doh dingu ahi,” ati.
12 So the people were dispersed in all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw.
Hijeh chun mipi jong Egypt gamtin ah changpol hol nan aki the cheh tauvin ahi.
13 and the taskmasters hastened them, saying, Fulfil your regular daily tasks, even as when straw was given you.
Chomkhat jouvin, Egypt natong vaipo hon gah tah in aboljom nalaiyun, “Changpol kapeh laiyuva nasem bang'uva, niseh leh chehlhang nasem doh ding jat u nasuh bulhit tei ding'u ahi” tin ngeh na aneiyuve.
14 And the accountants of the race of the children of Israel, who were set over them by the masters of Pharao, were scourged, [[and questioned, ] men] saying, Why have you not fulfilled your rates of brick work as yesterday and the third day, today also?
Chuin Israel natong lamkaiya anganse hou chu ajep uvin, “Ipi ding'a janhia chule tunia jong natoh doh diu jat na toh doh louvu ham? tin ngehna aneiyuvin ahi.
15 And the accountants of the children of Israel went in and cried to Pharao, saying, Why do you act thus to your servants?
Chuphat in Israel natong lamkai cheng Pharoah heng'a ache un chule atao uvin, “lungset tah in nasohte hi hitin neibol hih un,” tin athum un ahi.
16 Straw is not given to your servants, and they tell us to make brick; and behold your servants have been scourged: you will therefore injure your people.
“Changpol la eipe pouvin, ahinlah soh vaipo hon angeh nalaiyun “chehlhang sem'un!” tin eivo jing'un, ahinlah hiche hi keiho themmo ahi poi! Nangma mite ho mama ngoh ding ahijoi!” tin asei uve.
17 And he said to them, You are idle, you are idlers: therefore you say, Let us go [and] do sacrifice to our God.
Ahivang'in Pharoah apeng jah jeng'in, “Nangho na thaset u ahi! a thase na hiuve! Hijeh a chu hitia hi naseiyu ahi, 'Cheu hitin chule I-Pakaiyu heng'a kilhaina ga toh doh ute natiu ahi.'
18 Now then go and work, for straw shall not be given to you, yet you shall return the rate of bricks.
“Tun natong din kileuvin! Nangho changpol na kipe lou diu, ahivang'a chehlhang nasem doh diu jat lhingset a nasem doh teitei ding'u ahi,” ati.
19 And the accountants of the children of Israel saw themselves in an evil plight, [men] saying, You shall not fail to deliver the daily rate of the brick-making.
“Niseh a chehlhang nasem jat u nakemsuh sah theilou ding'u ahi,” ati jeh u chun Israel natong lamkai hon nasa tah abol gim'a aum'u chu amu tauvin ahi.”
20 And they met Moses and Aaron coming forth to meet them, as they came forth from Pharao.
Pharoah thutanna insung ahin dalhah phat un, pam lang'a amaho ana ngah Mose leh Aaron chu aki mupi uvin ahi.
21 And they said to them, The Lord look upon you and judge you, for you have made our savor abominable before Pharao, and before his servants, to put a sword into his hands to kill us.
Chuin natong lamkai ho chun ajah lhon'ah, “Pakaiyin nachung chang thu lhon tan hen lang gotna nape lhon hen, ijeh inem itileh Pharaoh leh alhacha ho angsung'a nei suh namset u ahi. Nangnin amaho khut a chemjam na koipeh lhon in, neitha gamsah kigot un ahi,” atiuve.
22 And Moses turned to the Lord, and said, I pray, Lord, why have you afflicted this people? and therefore have you sent me?
Chuin Mose Pakai heng'a akile in akiphin tai, “Ipi ding'a namite chung'a hitobang gimna hi nalhun sah hitam, Pakai? Ipi ding'a keima nei sol ham?”
23 For from the time that I went to Pharao to speak in your name, he has afflicted this people, and you have not delivered your people.
Nangma thalheng'a thusei dinga Pharoah heng kahunga kipat namite chunga akhanse cheh cheh jon ahi. Hinlah nangman amaho huhdoh nadin ima nabol poi!”
