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 the mountain of God, unto 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 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, 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 And 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 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

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 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest 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 thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon 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 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason 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 and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

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 And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

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

10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest 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 unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto 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 he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be the token unto thee, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon 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 unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto 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 unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

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

15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

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 Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto 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 unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto 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’ ti nah.

18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us: and now let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD 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 And I know that the king of Egypt will not give you leave to go, no, not 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 And I will put forth my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: 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 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:

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 neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil 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.
