Exodus 7
1 Yahweh said to Moses, “See, I have made you like a god to Pharaoh. Aaron your brother will be your 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 will say everything that I command you to say. Aaron your brother will speak to Pharaoh so that he will let the people of Israel go from 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 harden Pharaoh's heart, and I will display many signs of my power, many wonders, in the land of 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 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will put my hand on Egypt and bring out my groups of fighting men, my people, the descendants of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of punishment.
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 The Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I reach out with my hand on Egypt and bring out the Israelites from among them.”
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 Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as Yahweh commanded them.
A saii vaengah khaw BOEIPA kah a uen banglam ni Moses neh Aaron loh amih taengah a saii rhoi.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
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 and to Aaron,
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
9 “When Pharaoh says to you, 'Do a miracle,' then you will say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, so 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 Then Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh, and they did just as Yahweh had commanded. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, 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 Pharaoh also called for his wise men and sorcerers. They did the same thing by 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 Each man threw down his staff, and the staffs became snakes. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their snakes.
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 Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen, just as Yahweh had foretold.
Te phoeiah Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah mangkhak pueng tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh's heart is hard, and he refuses to let the people go.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah thah tih pilnam te hlah ham a aal.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning when he goes out to the water. Stand on the riverbank to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that had turned into 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, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you to say, “Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the wilderness. Until now you have not listened.”
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 Yahweh says this: “By this you will know that I am Yahweh. I am going to strike the water of the Nile River with the staff that is in my hand, and the river will be turned to blood.
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 The fish that are in the river will die, and the river will stink. The Egyptians will not be able to drink water from the 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 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and reach out with your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers, streams, pools, and all their ponds, so that their water may become blood. Do this so that there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, even in containers of wood and stone.'”
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 Moses and Aaron did as Yahweh commanded. Aaron raised the staff and struck the water in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants. All the water in the river turned to 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 The fish in the river died, and the river began to stink. The Egyptians could not drink water from the river, and the blood was everywhere in the land of Egypt.
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 magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their magic. So Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as Yahweh had said would happen.
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 Then Pharaoh turned and went into his house. He did not even pay attention to this.
Pharaoh te mael tih amah im la a pawk phoeiah tah he he a lungbuei ah dueh pawh.
24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink, but they could not drink the water of the river itself.
Sokko tui te ok ham a coeng pawt dongah, ok ham tui te Egypt pum loh sokko kaepvai ah a too.
25 Seven days passed after Yahweh had attacked the river.
BOEIPA loh sokko a ngawn te ahnukah hnin rhih a cup sak.
