Exodus 8 (CTH) · Opened

1BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, nang ni Faro siangpahrang koe cet nateh Ka taminaw ni Kai na bawk nahanelah tâcawt sak leih.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.

2Ka tâcawt sak mahoeh tetpawiteh na ram pueng ekka hoi bout ka rek han rah.But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.

3Tuipui ni ekka moi a tâco sak vaiteh na im dawk, inae rakhan dawk, ikhun van thoseh, na sannaw e im dawk thoseh, na taminaw e a lathueng thoseh, na takhuen dawk thoseh, tavai na kanawknae kawlung dawk thoseh a luen han.The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.

4Nangmouh koehoi kamtawng vaiteh na taminaw, na sannaw pueng lathueng vah a luen awh han telah BAWIPA ni a dei e hah thaisak loe telah Mosi koe atipouh.The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”

5BAWIPA ni Mosi koe bout a dei pouh e teh, Aron ni palang, tuipui tui, talînaw e lathueng vah sonron a sin teh kut a dâw navah, Izip ram dawk ekkanaw luen sak hanelah dei pouh telah atipouh.And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.’”

6Aron ni Izip ram dawk kaawm e tuinaw lathueng kut a dâw teh ekkanaw ni a tho teh Izip ram pueng koung a ramuk.So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

7Camkathoumnaw ni hai camthoumnae lahoi hottelah a sak teh ekkanaw Izip ram dawk a thokhai awh.But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.

8Hat navah, Faro siangpahrang ni Mosi hoi Aron a kaw teh, BAWIPA ni ekkanaw hah kai hoi ka taminaw koehoi takhoe hanelah dei pouh leih. Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA koe thuengnae kâ ka poe han toe telah atipouh.Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”

9Mosi ni hai nang hoi na imnaw dawk hoi ekkanaw takhoe teh, tuipui dawk dueng o sak hanlah, nang hoi na sannaw, na taminaw hanlah, kai ni ngaithoumnae tueng na khoe atipouh eiteh,Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”

10tangtho ngaithoumnae het leih atipouh teh, Mosi ni kaimae Cathut Jehovah hoi kâvan e cathut awm hoeh tie na panue nahanlah na dei e patetlah,“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.

11Ekkanaw teh nang hoi na imnaw, na sannaw, na taminaw koehoi a tâco teh tuipui dawk dueng ao han telah Mosi ni a dei pouh hnukkhu,The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”

12Aron hoi cungtalah ahni koehoi a tâco roi teh, Faro siangpahrang e lathueng vah a pha sak e ekkanaw kecu dawk Mosi ni a ratoum.After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.

13Mosi ni a hei e patetlah BAWIPA Cathut ni a sak pouh teh, ekkanaw teh imnaw, khonaw, ayawnnaw dawk a due awh.And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.

14A ronaw a pâkhueng awh dawkvah ram pueng dawk a hmui a tho.They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.

15Faro siangpahrang ni ahawi toe ti a panue navah, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah a lungpata teh ahnimae lawk hah ngâi laipalah bout ao.When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.

16BAWIPA ni Mosi koe bout a dei pouh e teh, Izip ram e vaiphunaw pueng heh tangkarang lah o sak hanelah Aron ni sonron a pho teh vaiphu hah hem hanelah dei pouh atipouh e patetlah,Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”

17Aron ni sonron a pho teh vaiphu hah a hem. Vaiphu teh tami dawk thoseh, saring koe thoseh, tangkarang lah ao. Izip ram pueng dawk kaawm e vaiphunaw pueng teh tangkarang lah a coung.This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.

18mitpaleikathoumnaw ni hai tangkarang lah coung sak hanelah a thoumnae lahoi hottelah a sak a eiteh sak thai awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, tami hoi saringnaw pueng dawk tangkarangnaw ao.The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.

19Hat navah, mitpaleikathoumnaw ni hote hno heh Cathut e kutdawn doeh telah Faro siangpahrang koe a dei pouh awh. Hateiteh, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah Faro siangpahrang teh a lungpata teh ahnimae lawk hah ngâi laipalah bout ao.“This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.

20BAWIPA ni hai nang ni amom thaw haw. Tui namran lah ka cet e Faro siangpahrang hmalah kangdout nateh BAWIPA ni, ka taminaw ni Kai na bawk nahanelah cetsak leih.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and when Pharaoh goes out to the water, stand before him and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.

21Na cetsak hoehpawiteh, nang hoi na sannaw, taminaw, imnaw dawkvah bitsei hah kai ni ka patoun vaiteh Izipnaw onae im, kangduenae talai teh bitsei hoi akawi han.But if you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground where they stand will be full of flies.

22Kai teh talai van pueng dawk BAWIPA lah ka o e na panue thai nahanelah kaie taminaw onae Goshen ram dawk teh hote hnin nah kapek vaiteh, hote ram dawk bitsei awm mahoeh.But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people live; no swarms of flies will be found there. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in the land.

23Hottelah ka taminaw hoi na taminaw rahak vah kapeknae ka o sak han. Tangtho vah hete mitnoutnaw teh ao han tie heh dei pouh telah Mosi koe atipouh.I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”

24Hottelah BAWIPA ni a sak dawkvah Faro im hoi a kamtawng teh a sannaw e im hoi Izip ram pueng dawk bitsei moikapap a tho teh, hote bitseinaw kecu dawk Izip ram a rawk.And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by swarms of flies.

25Hat navah, Faro siangpahrang ni Mosi hoi Aron a kaw teh, nangmouh ni hote ram dawk na Cathut koe thuengnae sak hanelah cet awh telah ati eiteh,Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”

26Mosi ni hettelah sak hane nahoeh. Ka sak awh pawiteh, Izipnaw ni a panuet e hno hoi BAWIPA Cathut koe thuengnae ka sak awh han nahoehmaw. Izipnaw e mithmu vah ahnimouh hanlah panuettho e hno hoi thuengnae ka sak awh boipawiteh, talung hoi na dei awh mahoeh na maw.But Moses replied, “It would not be right to do that, because the sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. If we offer sacrifices that are detestable before the Egyptians, will they not stone us?

27Hatdawkvah, kahrawng hnin thum lamcei koe, ka cei awh vaiteh kaimae BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e patetlah thuengnae ka sak awh han telah a dei pouh.We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”

28Faro siangpahrang ni hai nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah kahrawng vah na thueng awh nahanelah na cei awh han. Hatei, kahlat lah na cet awh mahoeh. Kai hanlah na kâhet pouh ei telah ati.Pharaoh answered, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”

29Mosi ni hai nang koehoi kai ni ka cei vaiteh bitseinaw ni Faro siangpahrang hoi a sannaw, taminaw koehoi tangtho a tâco hanelah BAWIPA koe ka kâhei han. Hateiteh, Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA koe thueng hane bout na pasoung laipalah na dum awh hanh telah a dei pouh hnukkhu,“As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”

30Mosi ni Faro koehoi a tâco teh, BAWIPA koe a kâhei pouh.Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,

31BAWIPA ni hai Mosi lawk a ngâi teh, Bitseinaw hah Faro siangpahrang hoi a sannaw, a taminaw koehoi buet touh boehai ao hoeh nahanlah a takhoe pouh.and the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.

32Hatnae tueng dawk haiyah, Faro siangpahrang lung bout a pata sak teh, Isarelnaw hah tha ngai laipalah bout ao.But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
