< Exodus 5 >

1 And afterward Moses and Aaron have entered, and they say to Pharaoh, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Send My people away, and they keep a celebration for Me in the wilderness”;
Hathnukkhu, Mosi hoi Aron ni Faro siangpahrang koe a kâen teh Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut ni ka taminaw teh kahrawng vah kai hane pawito hanlah patoun telah ati, atipouh.
2 and Pharaoh says, “Who [is] YHWH, that I listen to His voice to send Israel away? I have not known YHWH, and I also do not send Israel away.”
Faro siangpahrang ni hai BAWIPA lawk a ngâi teh Isarelnaw ka ceisak nahanlah hote Cathut teh apimaw. BAWIPA tie ka panuek hoeh. Isarelnaw ka cetsak mahoeh telah ati.
3 And they say, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us; please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH, lest He meet us with pestilence or with sword.”
Ahnimouh roi ni hai Hebrunaw e Cathut teh kaimouh hoi kâhmo awh toe. Thingyeiyawn hnin thum lamcei koe, kaimae BAWIPA Cathut bawk nahan kâ na poe haw. Nahoeh pawiteh lacik, kâtheikârawngnae hoi maimouh na rek han telah atipouh.
4 And the king of Egypt says to them, “Why, Moses and Aaron, do you free the people from its works? Go to your burdens.”
Izip siangpahrang ni hai Mosi hoi Aron, nangmouh roi ni hete taminaw bangkongmaw thaw na pakak roi. Thaw koe cet nateh thaw tawk awh, atipouh.
5 Pharaoh also says, “Behold, the people of the land [are] numerous now, and you have caused them to cease from their burdens!”
Hahoi, ram dawk hote taminaw moiapap awh. Thaw tawk hoeh hanlah nangmouh ni kâ na poe bo aw telah Faro siangpahrang ni ati.
6 And on that day Pharaoh commands the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
Hote hnin dawk, Faro ni thaw kakuennaw hoi kauknaw a kaw teh,
7 “You do not add to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks as before—they go and have gathered straw for themselves;
Amhru sak nahane cakawng hmaloe e patetlah taminaw poe awh hanh. Ahnimouh ni cakawng hah amamouh hanlah tawng awh naseh.
8 and you put on them the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making before, you do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God;
Amhru teh hmaloe e yit touh na saksak han. Payoun sak hanh. Ahnimouh teh a pangak awh dawkvah, cei awh vaiteh maimae Cathut thuengnae ka sak awh han telah ouk a hram awh.
9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.”
Hatdawkvah, thaw nget ka tawn lah a tawk sak awh. Tami kahawihoehe lawk ngâi a hanh telah atipouh.
10 And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak to the people, saying, “Thus said Pharaoh: I do not give you straw,
Hahoi thaw kakuennaw ni a cei awh teh Faro siangpahrang ni cakawng na poe hoeh.
11 you—go, take straw for yourselves where you can find [it], for there is nothing diminished of your service.”
Cakawng hah hmu thainae hmuen koe tawng awh. Hateiteh, na tawk hane thaw teh payoun mahoeh telah kâlawk ao telah taminaw a thaisak awh.
12 And the people are scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
Hatdawkvah, taminaw ni cakawng hanlah songnawng tawng hanelah Izip ram pueng dawk a kâkapek awh.
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, “Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.”
Kauknaw ni hai cakawng hmuthainae a tue nah hnintangkuem a tawk awh e patetlah cum totouh tawk awh telah ahnimouh a hroecoe awh.
14 And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying, “Why have you not completed your portion in making brick as before, both yesterday and today?”
Faro siangpahrang e kaukkungnaw ni a rawi e Isarel kahrawikungnaw hah nangmouh ni hmaloe na tawk a e patetlah bangkongmaw paduem hoi sahnin amhru sak e na cum sak awh hoeh telah atipouh teh a hemkhai awh.
15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you do thus to your servants?
Hat navah, Isarel kahrawikungnaw ni Faro siangpahrang koe a cei awh teh, bangkongmaw nang ni na sannaw hettelah na sak.
16 Straw is not given to your servants, and they are saying to us, Make bricks, and behold, your servants are struck—and your people have sinned.”
Na sannaw heh cakawng na poe hoeh. Kaukkungnaw ni hai amhru sak awh, telah ati awh teh kaimouh na hem awh. Na taminaw koe yonnae ao telah a hram awh.
17 And he says, “Remiss—you are remiss, therefore you are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH;
Faro siangpahrang ni hai nangmouh teh na pangak awh. Na pangak awh. Hatdawkvah, kaimouh ka cei vaiteh BAWIPA thuengnae ka sak awh han telah nangmouh ni na ti awh.
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and you give the [required] measure of bricks.”
Hatdawkvah, atu cet awh nateh tawk awh. Cakawng na poe awh mahoeh. Hateiteh, amhru teh ama mingming lah pou na sak awh han telah atipouh.
19 And the authorities of the sons of Israel see them in affliction, saying, “You do not diminish from your bricks; the matter of a day in its day.”
Hottelah, hnintangkuem a sak e amhru teh na payoun awh mahoeh telah kâ ao dawkvah Isarel kahrawikungnaw ni runae kâhmo awh toe tie a kâpanue awh.
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them in their coming out from Pharaoh,
Faro siangpahrang koehoi a cei awh navah lam vah ahnimouh ka ring e Mosi hoi Aron a hmu awh navah,
21 and say to them, “YHWH look on you, and judge, because you have caused our fragrance to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants—to give a sword into their hand to slay us.”
BAWIPA ni nangmouh roi na khet teh lawk na ceng naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Faro siangpahrang hoi a thaw katawknaw ni kaimouh na panuet sak han hoi thei sak hanlah nangmouh roi ni na sak toe telah atipouh awh.
22 And Moses turns back to YHWH and says, “Lord, why have You done evil to this people? Why [is] this [that] You have sent me?
Mosi ni hai BAWIPA koe a cei teh, Oe Cathut, nang ni hete taminaw hah bangkongmaw na rektap. Bangkong kai hah na patoun.
23 And since I have come to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has done evil to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all.”
Kai ni nange kâ lahoi ka dei nahanlah Faro siangpahrang koe kâen hnin hoi kamtawng teh, ahni ni hete taminaw thoe a bo. Nang ni na taminaw khoeroe na rungngang hoeh telah atipouh.
