< 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.
Mosen nikhat anupa pa Median thempu pa Jethro kelngoi achin laijin. Kelgoi hon chu gamlha tah gamthip lam'a apuiyin, Pathen molsang, Sinai lam'a chun ahung tan ahi.
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.
Hiche laimun'a chun Pathen vantil meikong in hamboh lah'a ahung kilah in, Mose in lungdong tah in aven ahi. Hamboh chu akong jeng in hinlah akavam deh pon ahi.
3 Moses said, "I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."
Chuin Mose ama leh ama aki houlim in, “Hiche hi datmah umtah thil ahiye, ipijeh pentah a hiche hamboh khu kavam lou ahidem? kache a kavet tei angaiye” ati.
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."
Hichu ve dinga Mose in hilam chu anailut jep jep e ti Pakaiyin amuphat'in, Pathen in hamboh lailung akon in, “Mose! Mose!” tin akouvin ahile, Mose in jong a donbut in “Keima hiva ka um'e,” ati.
5 He said, "Do not come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground."
“Hin nailut hihbeh in” tin Pakaiyin agih tan ahi. “Nakeng chot kisut in, ajeh chu nang ma muntheng'a ding nahi.
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.
Keima napa dinga a-Pathen kahi - Abraham Pathen, Isaac Pathen, leh Jacob Pathen kahi”, ati. Hichu Mose in ajah phat in amai akhutai, ajeh chu Pathen avet ngamlou ahi.
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.
Chuphat in Pakaiyin ahenga aseijin, “Egypt a kamite kibol gimna ka muchen tai. Achung'uva tohvai hom hon asuh gimnau aka awgin'u kaja tan ahi. Heng'e, a thohgim nau abonchan ka hechen tai, ati.
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.
Hijeh a chu Egypt mite thannei nanoiya kon'a amaho huhdoh ding le Egypt gam'a kon'a gampha tah, khoiju le bongnoi lon na gam hichu - Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amor mite, Periz mite, Hivi mite Chule Jebus mite tua achenna'u gam'a puilut dinga Keima hikoma hung kumlha kahi, ati.
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.
Vetan! Israel chate ka awgin ka angsung ahung lhung tai, chule Egypt miten asuh gimnau kichen tah in kamutai.
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."
Tun che jengin, ajeh chu Keiman nanghi Pharaoh henga kasol nahiye. Kami Israelte Egypt gam'a kona nahin puidoh ding ahi,” ati.
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?"
Hinlah Mose Pathen heng'ah akiphin in, “Kei koi kahia Pharaoh henga kaga kilah ding ham? Kei koi ka hia Israelte Egypt gam'a kon'a ka hin puidoh ding ham?” ati.
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."
Pathen in adonbut in, “Keiman ka umpi jing ding nahiye. Keiman kasol nahina nangma dinga melchihna hiche hi ahi: Nangman miho chu Egypt gam'a kon'a nahin puidoh teng leh, hiche mol tah a hi Pathen na hou ding'u ahi,” ati.
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?"
Ahivang'in Mose akiphin'in, “Keima Israel chate henga kachea ajah uva, ‘Napu napateu Pathen in na heng uva eihinsol ahi,’ tin sei leng ‘Amin ipi ham?’ tia eidoh diu ahi, chuteng amaho chu iti ka donbut ding ham?,” ati.
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 in Mose a donbut in, “Keima hi Keima ka hi jeng'e. Hiche hi Israelte heng'a seipeh in: Keima chun na heng'uva eihinsol ahi,” tin ati.
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.
Pathen in jong Mose heng'a aseiyin, “Hiche hi Israelte heng'a seipeh in: Yahweh, napu napateu Pathen - Abraham Pathen, Isaac Pathen, chule Jacob Pathen in - naheng uva eihin sol ahi. Hiche hi ka tonsot min ahi, akhang akhang'a nageldoh jing diu kamin ahi.
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;
“Tun chenlang Israel sung'a upa ho gakou khom tan. Aheng'uva seipeh in 'Yahweh, napu napauteu Pathen - Abraham, Isaac, chule Jacob Pathen - kahenga akilah in ahi. Aman kajah-a aseiyin, “Keiman naichan kanave jing'un, chule Egypt miten na-engbol nau keiman kamui.
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."'
Keiman nangho Egypt a nagenthei thoh nauva kon'a huh doh ding'a kakitep ahi. Keiman khoiju leh bongnoi lon na gam'a chu kapuilut ding nahiuve - hichu Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amor mite, Periz mite, Hivi mite Chule Jebus mite tua achen nau gam khu ahi,” ati.
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.'
“Israel upa hon nathusei angai diu ahi. Chuteng nang leh Israel upa chengse Egypt lengpa heng'a nache tei uva, ‘Pakai, Hebrew mite Pathen chun, eikimupi uve. Hijeh chun lungset tah in nithum sung'a gamthip lam'a kakhol jin uva Pakai ka Pathen'u henga kilhaina kasem dingu ahi” tia aheng'a nagasei diu ahi.
19 I know that the king of Egypt won't give you permission to go, except by a mighty hand.
“Amavang Egypt lengpa chu khut thahat in ano kahse a nahin soldoh lou diu keiman kahei,” ati.
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.
“Hijeh a chu Keiman kakhut ka lhan a, chule Egypt mite kajep ding, alah uva thil kidang jouse kabol ding ahi. Ajona le Aman nahin soldoh ding'u ahi.
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.
Chule keiman Egypt mite mitvet a khotona ka hin chan sah ding na hiuve. Ama hon thilpeh na hin peh dingu chuteng khut goh keova na dalhah lou diu ahiye.
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.
Israel numei jousen akinaipiu Egypt mite leh a in'uva um gamchom numei ho hokom'a sana leh dangka chule ponsil akithum cheh ding'u ahi. Na chanu teu leh na chapa teu hiche ho chu navon peh dingu, Egypt mite haosatna jouse na holhah peh dingu ahi,” ati.
