< Exodus 8 >
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back to the king and tell him, ‘Yahweh says that you must let my people go, in order that they can worship me [in the desert].
Pakaiyin Mose heng'a asei jin, “Pharaoh heng ah chen lang hiti hin gasei kit tem in, “Hiche hi Pakai thusei ahi: Kamite soldoh jeng tan, chutileh amahon keima kin abol ding'u ahiye.”
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will punish you by sending frogs to cover your country.
“Nahsah moa amaho nasol doh louva ahileh, nagam sung pumpia ukeng kahin lansah ding ahi.”
3 [Not only] will the Nile [River] be full of frogs, [but] the frogs will come up [out of the river] into your palace. They will come into your bedroom and onto your bed. They will be in the houses of your officials and all [the rest of] your people. They will even get into your ovens and your pans for mixing the materials for baking bread.
“Nile luidung jong ukeng dimlha jeng ding ahi. Na insung leh na lupna channa hungkal doh diu! Na mite leh na nung jui ho jouse kom channa lhung ding, na chang lhah meh nau jouse'a jong hung lut dimset ding ahiuve.”
4 The frogs will jump up on you and your officials and [all the rest of] your people.’”
“Ukengte chung leh nanung juiho jouse chung'a chom le ding'u ahi.”
5 Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Say this to Aaron: ‘Hold your stick in your hand and stretch it out [as though you were stretching it] over the river, the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up [from all this water and] cover the land of Egypt.’”
Chuin Pakaiyin Mose heng'a asei jin, “Aaron jah'a sei jin lang, ‘Egypt gamsung pumpi ukeng ten ahinlo dim nading in, natenggol jah in, twinah jouse, twilam jouse leh luidung jouse chu jeptan! Ukengten Egypt gam pumpi hinluo dim tante, tin seipeh in,” ati.
6 [After Moses/I told that to] Aaron, he stretched out his hand [as though he were stretching it] over all the water in Egypt. And the frogs came up [from the water and] covered Egypt.
Aaron'in jong Egypt gamsung twi chung'a akhut ajah'in ajep tan ahile, ukengte ahung potdoh'un Egypt gamsung pumpi alodim jeng tan!
7 But the men who performed magic did the same thing, and they caused [more] frogs to come up [from the water onto the land].
Ahinlah Egypt gam'a mitphel doithem hon jong hitabang chun abolthei uve. Ukengte chu gamsung'a alhalut thei un ahile gam pumpi chu ukengte adim lhatai.
8 Then the king summoned Moses/me and said, “Ask Yahweh to take away these frogs from me and my people. After that happens, I will allow your people to go, in order that they can offer sacrifices to Yahweh.”
Chu phat'in Pharaoh in Mose leh Aaron akouvin hiti hin aseije, “Pakai heng'a tao lhon tan, ajeh chu keima le ka mite jouse'a konna ukengte alah doh na ding in, chu teng keiman namite'u ka soldoh ding, amaho che uva Pakai kin aga bol diu ahi,” ati.
9 Moses/I said to the king, “I will be glad to pray for you and for your officials and for [the rest of] your people. [I will ask Yahweh] to get rid of the frogs from all your houses. The only frogs left will be [those] in the Nile [River]. Just tell me when I should pray.”
Mose'n adonbut in, “Nang le na sohte, chule namite ding'a itih phat'a katao ding nei seipeh in ati. Chuteng na in dung jouse'a ukengte Nile vadung lam'a kitol ding ahitai,” ati.
10 He replied, “Tomorrow.” So Moses/I said, “[I will do] what you say, and then you will know that Yahweh God, the one we [worship, is the only true god], and that there is no other god like him.
Pharaoh'in adonbut in ajah a, “Jing teng bol in,” ati. Mose'n henge, “Nasei bang bang hita hen. Chuti leh nangman keiho Pakai, Pathen tailou dang aum poi ti nahin hetdoh ding ahi,” ati.
11 The frogs will leave you and your officials and all [the rest of] your people. The only ones left will be in the Nile [River].”
“Ukengten nangma leh na nungjui ho jouse le namite naboncha uva na dalhah diu, Nile luidung a bou umden diu ahi,” ati.
12 Aaron and Moses/I left the king. Then Moses/I prayed to Yahweh, [asking him to take away] all the frogs he had [brought to the king’s land].
Chuin Mose leh Aaron jong Pharaoh angsung'a kon in achedoh lhon in, Mose chu Pakai lam sang in kap pum in ataovin, Pharaoh le amite akon in ukengte ladoh tan ati.
13 And Yahweh did just what Moses/I [asked him to do]. As a result, all the frogs in the houses, in their courtyards, and in the fields died.
Pakaiyin Mose taona chu asanpeh tan, indung jouse, lou jao leh gamsung'a ukeng jouse a sumang hel tan ahi.
14 The people gathered together all the dead frogs into big piles, and the land stank [from the smell].
Egypt miten ukeng thisa hochu aloh khom'un ahile gamsung pumpi a uilha jeng tan ahi
15 But when the king saw that [the problem] was ended, he became stubborn [IDM] [again]. And just as Yahweh had predicted, he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/we told him.
Ahinlah Pharaoh'in dinmun ahung oldom taiti ahin hetdoh phat in, angaija bang in a lungthim atah kit tai. Pakaiyin aseidohsa bang in Mose leh Aaron thusei chu anahsah kit tapoi.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell Aaron to strike the ground with his stick. [When he does that], all the fine particles of ground/dust will become gnats, all over the land of Egypt.”
Chuin Pakaiyin Mose heng'a asei jin, “Aaron heng'a sei inlang, ‘Na tenggol jandoh in tol lhang jep tem in. Chuteng Egypt gam pumpi'a thousi vaishi chule nen'in ahin lodim jeng ding ahi,” ati.
17 So they/we did that. Aaron struck the ground with his stick, and all over Egypt, the fine particles of ground/dirt became gnats. The gnats covered the people and all [their] animals.
Pakai thupeh bang in Mose leh Aaron'in jong abol lhontan. Aaron'in jong akhut ajah'in atenggol'a tol lham chu ajep'a ahile, thousi vaibong tamtah'in Egypt gam pumpi le gamsa jouse a lodim jeng tan chule boh nen in gamsung alodimjeng in ahi.
18 The men who worked magic tried to cause gnats to appear, but they were unable to do it. So the gnats [stayed] on the Egyptian people and on their animals.
Pharaoh doithem choihon atabang bang abolthei jing vang uvin, tunvang alosam tauvin abolthei tapouvin ahi. Thousi vaibong'in mipi hole gamsung'a gancha jouse atomlha tauvin ahi.
19 The men who worked magic said to the king, “It is God who has done this with his power [MTY]!” But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to us, just as Yahweh had predicted.
Hiti chun doithem choihon jong Pharaoh heng'a asei un, “Hiche hi Pathen khutnung mong ahi,” atitauve. Ahinlah Pharaoh lungthim chu angaija bang'in atah jing na laiye. Pakaiyin a seidoh sa bang in, Pharaoh'injong amaho thusei chu anahsah deh pon ahi.
20 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. [Go down] to the river and wait for the king. [When he comes to bathe] [MTY], say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says to you: “Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
Chuin Pakaiyin Mose henga hitihin a seikit tai, “Jingkah teng Nile vadung lam'a Pharaoh hung ding chuteng nangman na kimu piding.” Ajah'a Pakaiyin hiti hin asei je: “Kamite soldoh tan, ajeh chu amahon keima kin abol ding'u ahi,” tia nasei ding ahi, ati.
21 [I warn you that] if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies to you. They will come down on you and on your officials and on [the rest of] your people. The houses of all you Egyptians will be full of flies. They will [even] cover the ground.
Na soldoh louva ahile, “Keiman namite, nanung juiho chule na insung jousea thousi vaisi kahin lansah ding ahi. Egypt mite in jouse thousi vaisin atomlhah jeng ding, Gam leiset pumpi jong dimlha jeng ding ahi, ati.
22 But when that happens, I will treat the Goshen region, where my people live, differently. There will be no swarms of flies there. In that way, you will know that I, Yahweh, am doing these things [here] in this land.
Ahinlah kamite chenna Goshen achom beh'a kahoidoh ding ahi. Thousi khatcha lenglut louhel ding ahi. Chuteng leiset pumpin keima hi Pakai kitipa chu kahi ti nahin hetdoh diu ahi,” ati.
23 I will distinguish clearly between [how I act toward] my people and [how I act toward] your people. And this plague is going to happen tomorrow!”’”
Keiman kamite leh na mite kah'a kikhenna ka sem doh ding, “Hiche thil kidang meilchihna hi jing nikho teng soh ding ahi,” ati.
24 [Early the next morning, Moses/I told that to the king, but the king would not pay any attention]. So Yahweh did what he said he would do. He sent great swarms of flies into the palace of the king and into the houses of his officials. The whole country of Egypt was ruined by the flies.
Pakaiyin aseidoh bang'in aboltan. “Thousi vaibong techun Pharaoh insung, anungjui ho ingsung leh gamsung in jousea a lenglut tauvin adimlha jeng tai.” Thousi vaibong ahon hon in Egypt gamsung'a ahung kitol lut tan ahile gamsung pumpi chu athim lha jeng tan ahi.
25 Then the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You Israeli people can go and offer sacrifices to your god, [but you must do it] here in [this] land.”
Chuphat in Pharaoh in Mose leh Aaron aga kouvin, hiti hin aseije, “Apha tai! che uvin lang Pakai maicham gasem taovin, ati.” Aman asei jin “Hichu Egypt gamsung'a na bol ding'u ahi,” ati.
26 But Moses/I replied, “It would not be right [for us] to do that, because we will be offering sacrifices that are very offensive to the Egyptian people. If we offer sacrifices that the Egyptian people think are disgusting, they will kill us by throwing stones at us [RHQ]!
Mose'n a donbut in hitin aseije, “Hichu adih thei poi. Keihon Ka-Pakaiju le Ka-Pathen'u angsung'a kilhaina maicham kasem diu chu, hiche lai Egypt mite adia thil kitoh thei louding ahiye. Ven! Hitabang thilho pi chu bol taleng'u Egypt miten song'a eise lih gam ding'u ahi,” ati.
27 No, we need to travel for three days into the desert. There we will offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God we worship, just as he commands (OR, has commanded) us.”
“Ka-Pakaiju leh ka-Pathen'u angsung'a kilhaina hi nithum sung hitei ding ahi, hichu Pakaiyin keima hodia a seidohsa ahi, ati.”
28 So the king said, “I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, your god, in the desert. But you must not go very far. [Now] pray for me!”
Pharaoh'in adonbut in ajah'a hiti hin aseije, “Apha tai, che tauvin,” keiman nangho gamthip noija na-Pakai ju kinbol ding'in kaphal tai, amavang na che gamlhat louhel ding'u ahi. “Tun che uvin lang keima ding in neitao peh'un,” ati.
29 Moses/I said, “Listen [to me]! After I leave you, I will pray to Yahweh, [asking] that tomorrow [he will cause] the swarms of flies to leave you and your officials and [the rest of] your people. But do not deceive us again by refusing to let our people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh!”
Mose'n a donbut'in, “Na angsung'a konna ka potdoh ding, jing nikho teng leh nangma akon leh namite chule na insung jouse uva akonna thousi vaisi apot doh na ding'a ka tao tei ding ahi, ka gihna ahiye nangma Pharaoh in jong nei joulhep da uvin lang Israel miten jong Pakai dia kilhaina hi boldao hen na tilou beh ding ahi,” ati.
30 Then Moses/I left the king and prayed to Yahweh.
Pharaoh angsung'a kon in Mose apotdoh tan, thousi vaibong jouse aki tolmang hel na ding'in aga tao tan ahi.
31 And Yahweh did what Moses/I asked, and he got rid of the swarms of flies from [around] the king and his officials and [the rest of] his people. No flies remained.
Pakaiyin Mose taona'a sanpeh tan, Pharaoh akon, anungjui holeh amite hojousea konin, thousi vaibong abonchan akitolmang tan, khatcha jeng jong akimudoh tapon ahi.
32 But the king was stubborn [IDM] this time also, and he did not allow the Israeli people to go.
Ahinlah angaiya bang in Pharaoh lungthim atah kit tan ahileh, Israel mipi asol doh deh tapoi.
