Exodus 3
1 And Moses has been feeding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, priest of Midian, and he leads the flock behind the wilderness, and comes to the mountain of God, to Horeb;
Mosi loe Midian kami qaima, amsae Jethro ih tuu to toep pae; praezaek taeng ih mae ah tuunawk to a toep moe, Sithaw ih mae Horeb ahmuen ah a phak.
2 and the Messenger of YHWH appears to him in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he sees, and behold, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.
To ah Angraeng ih van kami to hmai kangqong aqam kabuk thing thung hoiah anih khaeah angphong; Mosi mah khet naah, kabuk thing loe hmai angqong, toe thing loe hmai mah kangh ai tito a hnuk.
3 And Moses says, “Now I turn aside and see this great appearance. Why is the bush not burned?”
To pongah Mosi mah, Tipongah kabuk thing loe hmai mah kang ai loe! Kalen parai kamtueng hmuen hae ka khet noek han, tiah a poek.
4 And YHWH sees that he has turned aside to see, and God calls to him out of the midst of the bush and says, “Moses! Moses!” And he says, “Here I [am].”
To tiah kaom hmuen to Mosi mah caeh moe, khet, tiah Angraeng mah hnuk naah, Sithaw mah anih to aqam kabuk thing thung hoiah Mosi! Mosi! tiah kawk.
5 And He says, “Do not come near here. Cast your shoes from off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
Sithaw mah, Haeah anghnai hmah; na khokpanai to angkhring ah; nang doethaih ahmuen loe hmuenciim ah oh, tiah a naa.
6 He also says, “I [am] the God of your father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob”; and Moses hides his face, for he is afraid to look toward God.
To pacoengah, Kai loe nam pa ih Sithaw, Abraham ih Sithaw, Issak ih Sithaw hoi Jakob ih Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a naa. Mosi mah Sithaw khet han zit moe, a mikhmai to hawk ving.
7 And YHWH says, “I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;
Angraeng mah, Izip prae ah kaom kai ih kaminawk patangkhanghaih to ka hnuk boeh; misong tawnkungnawk mah pacaekthlaek o pongah, a qah o haih lok to ka thaih boeh; nihcae palungsethaih to ka panoek.
8 and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land to a land good and broad, to a land flowing with milk and honey—to the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Izip kaminawk ban thung hoiah nihcae to ka pahlong moe, to prae thung hoiah ka zaeh pacoengah, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih, Kanaan prae, Hit, Amor, Periz, Hiv hoi Jebus kaminawk ohhaih prae ah caeh haih hanah, kang hum tathuk boeh.
9 And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,
To pongah, khenah, Israel kaminawk qahhaih lok loe vaihi kai khaeah phak boeh; Izip kaminawk mah nihcae pacaekthlaekhaih doeh ka hnuk boeh.
10 and now, come, and I send you to Pharaoh; and bring out My people, the sons of Israel, from Egypt.”
To pongah vaihi angzo ah, Izip prae thung hoiah kai ih kami, Israel caanawk to zaeh hanah, Faro khaeah kang patoeh han, tiah a naa.
11 And Moses says to God, “Who [am] I, that I go to Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?”
Toe Mosi mah Sithaw khaeah, Kai loe kawbaktih kami ah maw ka oh moe, Faro khaeah ka caeh pacoengah, Izip prae thung hoiah Israel kaminawk to ka zaeh han loe? tiah a naa.
12 And He says, “Because I am with you, and this [is] the sign to you that I have sent you: in your bringing out the people from Egypt—you serve God on this mountain.”
To naah Sithaw mah, Kai mah kang oh thuih han hmang! Hae loe nang, kang patoeh boeh, tiah angmathaih ah om tih; Kai ih kaminawk Izip prae thung hoi na zaeh pacoengah loe, hae mae nuiah Sithaw na bok o tih, tiah a naa.
13 And Moses says to God, “Behold, I am coming to the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they have said to me, What [is] His Name? What do I say to them?”
Mosi mah Sithaw khaeah, Israel kaminawk khaeah ka caeh moe, nihcae khaeah, nangcae ampanawk ih Sithaw mah nangcae khaeah kai ang patoeh, tiah ka thuih pae naah, nihcae mah kai khaeah, Anih ih ahmin loe mi aa? tiah na dueng o nahaeloe, kawbang maw ka thuih pae han loe? tiah a naa.
14 And God says to Moses, “I AM THAT WHICH I AM.” He also says, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.”
Sithaw mah Mosi khaeah, KAI LOE KAI NI, tiah Israel kaminawk khaeah thui paeh; KAI, tiah ahmin kaom mah, nangcae khae ah kai ang patoeh, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
15 And God says again to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: YHWH, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this [is] My Name for all time, and this [is] My memorial, to generation [and] generation.
To pacoengah Sithaw mah Mosi khaeah, Israel kaminawk khaeah, Nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw, Abraham Sithaw, Issak Sithaw hoi Jakob Sithaw mah nangcae khaeah kai ang patoeh, hae loe dungzan ah kaom Kai ih ahmin ah oh, angzo han koi kaminawk boih mah pahnet thaih han ai ih ahmin ah oh, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
16 Go, and you have gathered the elderly of Israel, and have said to them: YHWH, God of your fathers, has appeared to me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;
Caeh ah, Israel kacoehtanawk to nawnto pakhueng ah loe nihcae khaeah, Nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw, Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob ih Sithaw to kai khaeah angphong moe, nangcae khaeah kang paqaih, Izip prae ah nangcae nuiah a sak o ih hmuen ka hnuk boeh;
17 and I say [that] I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing [with] milk and honey.
Izip prae patangkhanghaih thung hoiah nangcae to kang zaeh moe, Kanaan, Hit, Amor, Periz, Hiv hoi Jebus kaminawk ih prae, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae thungah kang caeh o haih han, tiah lok ka thuih boeh, tiah thui paeh, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
18 And they have listened to your voice, and you have entered, you and [the] elderly of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH.
Israel kacoehtanawk mah na lok to tahngai o tih; nang hoi Israel kacoehtanawk Izip siangpahrang khaeah caeh oh loe, anih khaeah, Hebru Angraeng Sithaw mah kaicae hae a tongh boeh; kaimacae ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, angbawnhaih ka sak o hanah, ni thumto thung praezaek ah na caehsak ah, tiah thui paeh.
19 And I have known that the king of Egypt does not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,
Toe Izip siangpahrang loe kalen parai thacakhaih hnu ai ah loe, nangcae to caehsak mak ai, tito ka panoek.
20 and I have put forth My hand, and have struck Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst—and afterward he sends you away.
To pongah ban ka payangh moe, Izip prae thungah dawnrai hmuennawk to ka sak boih han, to tiah prae to ka thuitaek han; to pacoengah ni Izip siangpahrang mah na caeh o sak vop tih.
21 And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it has come to pass, when you go, you do not go empty;
Izip kaminawk mah hae kaminawk palung o thai hanah, tok ka sak han; to naah ni na tacawt o naah bangkrai ah na tacawt o mak ai;
22 and [every] woman has asked from her neighbor, and from her who is sojourning in her house, [for] vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and you have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.”
nongpata boih mah a imtaeng kami, a im ah kaom nongpatanawk hanah phoisa, sui hoi khukbuennawk to hni o ueloe, na capanawk hoi na canunawk to abuen o sak tih; to tiah Izip kaminawk ih hmuennawk to na la pae o tih, tiah a naa.
