Exodus 3

1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God's mountain, to Horeb.

Moses tah a masae, Midian khosoih Jethro kah boiva aka luem puei la om. Te vaengah boiva te khosoek hael la a hmaithawn hatah Pathen kah tlang Horeb la pawk.

2 The angel of YHWH appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and look, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn te anih taengah tangpuem khui lamkah hmairhong hmai neh a phoe pah. A sawt vaengah tangpuem te hmai loh a dom dae tangpuem te tlum pawh.

3 Moses said, "I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."

Te dongah Moses loh, “Ka nong vetih a hmuethma tanglue he ka hmu lah eh. Balae tih tangpuem ke a ung pawh,” a ti.

4 When YHWH saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses. Moses." He said, "Here I am."

Hmuh hamla a nong te BOEIPA loh a hmuh. Te dongah Pathen loh anih te tangpuem khui lamkah a khue tih, “Moses, Moses,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni he ue,” a ti nah.

5 He said, "Do not come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground."

Te vaengah, “Hela ha mop boeh. Na khokhom te na kho dong lamloh dul dae, a soah na pai thil hmuen he hmuencim khohmuen ni,” a ti nah.

6 Moreover he said, "I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.

Te phoeiah, “Kai tah na pa Pathen, Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen neh Jakob kah Pathen ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Moses loh a maelhmai a thuh tih Pathen te paelki ham khaw a rhih.

7 YHWH said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

Te vaengah BOEIPA loh, “Egypt ah ka pilnam kah phacipphabaem te ka hmuh rhoe ka hmuh coeng tih anih aka tueihno mikhmuh kah a pangngawlnah te ka yaak. Te phoeiah a nganboh te ka ming coeng.

8 I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Egypt kut lamloh anih huul ham neh te khohmuen lamloh khohmuen then neh hubung khuila, suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen la, Kanaan neh Khitti, Amori neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi hmuen la thak ham ka suntla coeng.

9 Now, look, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

Israel ca rhoek pangngawlnah loh kai taengla ha pawk coeng tih amih aka nen Egypt kah nennah khaw ka hmuh coeng he.

10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."

Pharaoh taengla nang kan tueih coeng dongah cet lamtah ka pilnam Israel ca rhoek te Egypt lamloh khuen laeh,” a ti nah.

11 And Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"

Tedae Moses loh Pathen te, “Pharaoh taengla ka caeh ham neh Egypt lamloh Israel ca rhoek khuen ham khaw kai tah unim?” a ti nah.

12 And God spoke to Moses, saying, "Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain."

Te vaengah, “Nang taengah rhep ka om vetih he he nang ham miknoek coeng ni. Kai loh nang kan tueih coeng tih pilnam te Egypt lamloh na khuen vaengah he tlang ah Pathen te thothueng thil uh,” a ti nah.

13 And Moses said to God, "Look, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you;' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' What should I tell them?"

Tedae Moses loh Pathen taengah, “Israel ca rhoek taengla ka pawk tih amih te, 'Na pa rhoek kah Pathen loh nangmih taengla kai n'tueih,’ ka ti nah vaengah kai te, 'A ming ta?' ti uh koinih amih taengah balae ka thui eh? ' a ti nah.

14 And God said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM," and he said, "You shall tell the children of Israel this: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

Pathen loh Moses taengah, “Ka om bangla ka om coeng,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “He Israel ca rhoek te, 'Akaom long ni nangmih taengla kai n'tueih,’ ti nah,” a ti.

15 And God said moreover to Moses, "You shall tell the children of Israel this, 'YHWH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation.

Te phoeiah Pathen loh Moses te, “He he Israel ca rhoek taengah, 'Na pa rhoek kah Pathen, Abraham kah Pathen, Isaak Pathen, Jakob Pathen BOEIPA loh kai he nangmih taengla n'tueih,’ ti nah. He tah kumhal kah kai ming ham neh Cadilcahma kah cadilcahma taengah kai poekkoepnah ni.

16 Go, and gather the elders of the children of Israel together, and tell them, 'YHWH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt;

Cet lamtah Israel kah patong rhoek te coi laeh. Te phoeiah amih te, “Na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te kai taengah phoe coeng. Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob kah Pathen loh, 'Nangmih neh nangmih taengah Egypt kah a saii te ka hip rhoe ka hip coeng.

17 and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey."'

Te dongah ni nangmih te Egypt kah phacipphabaem lamloh Kanaan neh Khitti, Amori neh Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi khohmuen la, suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen la kang khuen eh ka ti coeng.

18 They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, 'The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to our God.'

Te vaengah na ol te a hnatun uh bitni. Namah neh Israel kah a hamca rhoek te Egypt manghai taengla cet uh. Te phoeiah anih te, 'Hebrew kah Pathen BOEIPA loh kaimih he m'mah coeng. Te dongah hnin thum long caeh kah khosoek ah BOEIPA ka Pathen te ka nawn mai pawn eh?,’ ti nah.

19 I know that the king of Egypt won't give you permission to go, except by a mighty hand.

Tedae a tlungluen kut nen pawt atah na caeh ham khaw Egypt manghai loh nangmih m'pae mahpawh tila ka ming.

20 I will put forth my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that he will let you go.

Te dongah ka kut he ka hlah vetih Egypt te ka ngawn ni. Kamah kah khobaerhambae cungkuem neh a khui ah ka saii daengah ni nangmih te n'tueih pueng eh.

21 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.

Pilnam he Egypt mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka khueh vetih na caeh uh vaengah khaw kuttling la na cet uh mahpawh.

22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.

Te dongah huta loh a imben taeng neh a im kah aka bakuep taengah ngun hnopai neh sui hnopai khaw, himbai khaw hoe saeh. Te phoeiah tah na capa rhoek so neh na canu rhoek pum dongla khueh uh lamtah Egypt kah te huul pa uh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
