Exodus 7
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen [carefully]. [Just like I enabled prophet to speak my messages], I will cause the king [to consider that] you are like a god, and that Aaron is like a prophet.
BOEIPA loh Moses te, “So lah, nang te Pharaoh taengah Pathen la kang khueh tih na maya Aaron te nang kah tonghma la om coeng.
2 You must tell everything I command you [to tell to your older] brother Aaron, and he will tell that to the king. He must tell the king to let the Israeli people leave his land.
Nang kang uen boeih te namah loh thui lamtah na maya Aaron loh Pharaoh taengah thui saeh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te a khohmuen lamloh a hlah bitni.
3 But I will make the king stubborn [IDM]. As a result, even though I perform many kinds of (miracles/terrifying things) [DOU] [here] in Egypt,
Tedae kai loh Pharaoh kah lungbuei te ka mangkhak sak vetih ka miknoek neh kai kah kopoekrhai he Egypt khohmuen ah ka ping sak ni.
4 the king will not pay any attention to what you say. Then I will punish [MTY] the people of Egypt [MTY] very severely [MTY], and I will lead/bring the tribes of the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Te lalah nang ol te Pharaoh loh hnatun pawt cakhaw ka kut he Egypt soah ka hlah ni. Te vaengah tholhphu tanglue a paek rhangneh ka pilnam Israel ca Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka caempuei la ka khuen ni.
5 Then, when I show my great power [MTY] to the Egyptian people and bring the Israeli people out from among them, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Egypt te ka kut ka hlah thil tih Israel ca te amih khui lamloh ka khuen vaengah Egypt loh kai he BOEIPA la a ming uh bitni,” a ti nah.
6 Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh told them/us to do. They/We [went and spoke to the king].
A saii vaengah khaw BOEIPA kah a uen banglam ni Moses neh Aaron loh amih taengah a saii rhoi.
7 At that time, Moses/I was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83 years old.
Pharaoh taengah a voek rhoi vaengah he Moses te kum sawmrhet lo ca tih Aaron te kum sawmrhet kum thum lo ca coeng.
8 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
9 “If the king says to you, ‘Prove [that God sent] you by performing a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Throw your stick down in front of the king, in order that it may become a snake.’”
“Pharaoh loh nangmih te m'voek tih, 'Nangmih kah kopoekrhai tueng sak,’ a ti. Te vaengah Aaron te,’ Na conghol te khuen laeh. Te phoeiah Pharaoh mikhmuh ah tloeng lamtah tuihnam la poeh bitni,” a ti nah.
10 So Aaron and Moses/I went to the king and did what Yahweh had commanded [them/us to do]. Aaron threw his stick down in front of the king and his officials, and it became a snake.
Te dongah Moses neh Aaron te Pharaoh taengah cet rhoi tih BOEIPA loh a uen vanbangla a saii rhoi. Te vaengah Aaron loh a conghol te Pharaoh mikhmuh neh a sal rhoek mikhmuh ah a voeih pah tih tuihnam la poeh.
11 Then the king summoned his sorcerers and men who performed magic. They did the same thing, using their magic.
Pharaoh long khaw hlangcueih neh hlangbi rhoek te a khue. Amih Egypt hmayuep rhoek long khaw amamih kah hmaitak neh phek a saii uh.
12 They all threw down their sticks, and they became snakes. But Aaron’s stick, [which had become a snake], swallowed up all their sticks!
Hlang loh a conghol tah a voeih uh tih tuihnam la poeh ngawn dae Aaron kah conghol loh amih kah conghol te a dolh pah.
13 But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], just as Yahweh had predicted, and he would not pay attention to [what Aaron and Moses/I said].
Te phoeiah Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah mangkhak pueng tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The king is very stubborn [IDM]. He refuses to allow [my] people to go.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah thah tih pilnam te hlah ham a aal.
15 So [tomorrow] morning, go to him as he is going down to the [Nile] River [to bathe]. Wait for him at the riverbank. [When he comes out of the water, show] him the stick, the one which became a snake.
Pharaoh te mincang ah a paan rhoi. Tui taengla a pawk vaengah sokko soktaeng ah anih tong ham ana pai rhoi ne. Te vaengah rhul la aka poeh conghol te na kut dongah khuen rhoi.
16 Say to him, ‘Yahweh God, the one [we] Hebrews [worship], sent me to you to tell you to let my people go, in order that they may worship him in the desert. [We told you that], but you have not paid any attention to it.
Te phoeiah anih te, 'Hebrew kah Pathen Yahweh loh nang taengah kai he n'tueih tih, 'Ka pilnam te tueih lamtah khosoek ah kai ham thothueng uh saeh,’ a ti. Tedae tahae duela na hnatun moenih ko he.
17 [So now] Yahweh says this: “This is the way you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. Watch this: I am going to strike the water that is in the Nile [River] with the stick that is in my hand. [When I do that], the water will become blood (OR, [red like] blood [MTY]).
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He nen ni kai he BOEIPA la na ming eh. Ka kut dongkah conghol neh sokko kah tui te ka boh vetih thii la poeh pawn ni he.
18 Then the fish in the Nile [River] will die, and the [water in] the river will stink, and the Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the Nile River.”’”
Sokko kah nga te duek vetih sokko te rhim ni. Sokko lamkah tui a ok ham vaengah Egypt rhoek te khobing uh ni,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
19 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[When you are talking to the king], say to Aaron, ‘Hold your stick out [as though you were holding it] over the water in Egypt—over the rivers, the canals, the ponds, and over the pools of water, in order that [all of it] may become [red like] blood.’ When Aaron does that, there will be blood throughout Egypt, even in wooden jars and in stone jars.”
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Aaron te, 'Na conghol khuen lamtah Egypt tui so neh a tuiva soah, a sokko so neh a tuibap ah, a tui tungnah boeih soah na kut thueng pah. Te vaengah thii la poeh vetih Egypt khohmuen tom ah thing khuikah neh lungto khuikah khaw thii la poeh ni, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
20 So Aaron and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded. As the king and his officials were watching, Aaron lifted up his stick and then struck the water in the Nile [River] with it. And all the water in the river turned [red like] blood.
Moses neh Aaron loh BOEIPA kah a uen bangla a saii rhoi. Conghol te a thueng tih Pharaoh mikhmuh neh a sal rhoek mikhmuh ah sokko kah tui te a boh. Te vaengah sokko kah tui boeih te thii la poeh.
21 Then all the fish died. And the water stank, with the result that the Egyptians could not drink water from the river. Everywhere in Egypt [the water] became [red like] blood.
Te vaengah sokko kah nga khaw duek tih sokko te rhim coeng. Te dongah Egypt rhoek loh sokko lamkah tui ok ham coeng voel pawh. Egypt khohmuen tom ah thii om.
22 But the men who performed magic did the same thing using their magic. So the king remained stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/I said, just as Yahweh had predicted.
Tedae Egypt hmayuep rhoek long khaw a tuisiduei neh a saii uh van. Te dongah Pharaoh kah lungbuei mangkhak tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
23 The king turned and went back to his palace, and he did not think any more about it [IDM].
Pharaoh te mael tih amah im la a pawk phoeiah tah he he a lungbuei ah dueh pawh.
24 The Egyptians [HYP] dug [into the ground] near the Nile [River] to get water to drink, because they could not drink the water from the river.
Sokko tui te ok ham a coeng pawt dongah, ok ham tui te Egypt pum loh sokko kaepvai ah a too.
25 (One week/Seven days) passed after Yahweh caused the water in the Nile [River to become red like blood].
BOEIPA loh sokko a ngawn te ahnukah hnin rhih a cup sak.
