Exodus 5
1 And afterwards have Moses and Aaron entered, and they say unto Pharaoh, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Send My people away, and they keep a feast to Me in the wilderness;'
Te phoeiah Moses neh Aaron te cet rhoi tih Pharaoh te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh, 'Ka pilnam he hlah lamtah khosoek kah kamah taengah lam uh saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah rhoi.
2 and Pharaoh saith, 'Who [is] Jehovah, that I hearken to His voice, to send Israel away? I have not known Jehovah, and Israel also I do not send away.'
Tedae Pharaoh loh, “U BOEIPA nim a ol te ngai vetih Israel te ka hlah eh? BOEIPA te ka ming pawt dongah Israel te ka hlah mahpawh,” a ti nah.
3 And they say, 'The God of the Hebrews hath met with us, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God, lest He meet us with pestilence or with sword.'
Te phoeiah, “Hebrew rhoek kah Pathen loh kaimih te n'doe. Longpuei hnin thum caeh kah khosoek ah ka cet uh mai eh. BOEIPA ka Pathen te ka nawn uh pawn eh. Kaimih he duektahaw neh, cunghang neh n'cuuk tarha ve,” a ti nah rhoi.
4 And the king of Egypt saith unto them, 'Why, Moses and Aaron, do ye free the people from its works? go to your burdens.'
Tedae Egypt manghai loh amih rhoi te, “Moses neh Aaron, balae tih pilnam te a bitat na hlahpham sak, namah bi la cet,” a ti nah.
5 Pharaoh also saith, 'Lo, numerous now [is] the people of the land, and ye have caused them to cease from their burdens!'
Te vaengah Pharaoh loh, “Khohmuen pilnam loh yet coeng tih amamih khaw a bitloh lamkah na kangkuen sak ke,” a ti.
6 And Pharaoh commandeth, on that day, the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
Te khohnin ah tah Pharaoh loh pilnam sokah aka tueihno rhoek neh a rhoiboei rhoek te a uen.
7 'Ye do not add to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks, as heretofore — they go and have gathered straw for themselves;
“Hlaem hlaemvai kah bangla laiboeng aka saii pilnam te cangkong paek ham vaengah koei pa uh boeh. Amamih cet uh saeh lamtah amamih ham cangkong te coi uh saeh.
8 and the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making heretofore ye do put on them, ye do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God;
Tedae laiboeng kah a lan a tang tah amih taengah hlaem hlaemvai kah, a saii bangla khueh uh lamtah yueh pah boeh. A duem uh ham tangloeng ni pang uh tangkhuet tih, 'Ka Pathen te nawn ham ka cet ni, ' a ti uh.
9 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.'
Hlang rhoek ham thohtatnah loh a nan daengah ni te te a saii uh vetih laithae ol taengla a mang uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
10 And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak unto the people, saying, 'Thus said Pharaoh, I do not give you straw,
Te phoeiah pilnam aka tueihno neh a rhoiboei rhoek te cet uh tih pilnam te a voek uh. Te vaengah, “Pharaoh loh, “Nangmih te cangkong kam pae mahpawh,’ a ti.
11 ye — go ye, take for yourselves straw where ye find [it], for there is nothing of your service diminished.'
Namamih cet uh lamtah me lamkah a hmuh uh akhaw cangkong te namamih loh vawthaih uh. Tedae ol vanbangla na thohtatnah te hnop boeh,” a ti nah.
12 And the people is scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
Te vaengah pilnam te cangkong yueng la divawt coi ham Egypt kho tom ah taekyak uh.
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, 'Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.'
Te vaengah aka tueihno rhoek loh a tanolh uh tih, “Cangkong a om vaengkah bangla hnin at kah na bi tueng hno te amah khohnin ah coeng uh,” a ti.
14 And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying, 'Wherefore have ye not completed your portion in making brick as heretofore, both yesterday and to-day?'
Amih sokah a khueh Pharaoh kah a tueihno rhoek loh Israel ca rhoek kah rhoiboei te a ngawn uh tih, “Hlaem hlavai kah bangla saii ham khaw hlaem neh tihnin kah khaw balae tih na oltlueh te na coeng uh pawh,” a ti nauh.
15 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry unto Pharaoh, saying, 'Why dost thou thus to thy servants?
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek kah rhoiboei rhoek te cet uh tih Pharaoh taengah pang uh tih, “Balae tih na sal rhoek taengah he he na saii.
16 Straw is not given to thy servants, and they are saying to us, Make bricks, and lo, thy servants are smitten — and thy people hath sinned.'
Na sal rhoek he cangkong m'paek pawt ah kaimih taengah laiboeng saii ham a thui uh. Na pilnam a tholh akhaw na sal rhoek ni n'ngawn uh coeng he,” a ti nauh.
17 And he saith, 'Remiss — ye are remiss, therefore ye are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to Jehovah;
Tedae, “Nangmih aka duem la aka duem rhoek, nangmih loh BOEIPA taengah hmueih nawn la caeh ham na thui tangkhuet.
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and the measure of bricks ye do give.'
Te dongah lcet uh lamtah thotat uh laeh. Nangmih te cangkong m'paek pawt akhaw laiboeng tah a rhimong hil pae uh,” a ti nah.
19 And the authorities of the sons of Israel see them in affliction, saying, 'Ye do not diminish from your bricks; the matter of a day in its day.'
“Amah khohnin ah hnin at kah olka bangla na laiboeng te hnop boeh,” a ti coeng dongah amih loh a yoethae a puei te Israel ca kah rhoiboei rhoek loh a hmuh uh.
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them, in their coming out from Pharaoh,
Pharaoh taeng lamloh a nong vaengah amih rhoi doe ham aka pai rhoek te Moses neh Aaron te a doo uh.
21 and say unto them, 'Jehovah look upon you, and judge, because ye have caused our fragrance to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants — to give a sword into their hand to slay us.'
Te vaengah amih rhoi te, “BOEIPA loh nangmih te m'hmu lamtah laitloek nawn saeh. Mamih kah hmuehmuei te Pharaoh mik ah bo a rhim sak tih a sal rhoek mikhmuh ah mamih ngawn ham a kut ah cunghang a paek,” a ti rhoi.
22 And Moses turneth back unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Lord, why hast Thou done evil to this people? why [is] this? — Thou hast sent me!
Te dongah Moses te BOEIPA taengla mael tih, “Ka Boeipa aw, balae tih pilnam soah thae na huet? Balae tih he la kai nan tueih?
23 and since I have come unto Pharaoh, to speak in Thy name, he hath done evil to this people, and Thou hast not at all delivered Thy people.'
Na ming neh thui ham Pharaoh taengla ka pawk lamkah te pilnam he ni thae a huet thil tih na pilnam te na huul khaw na huul hae moenih,” a ti nah.
