< Exodus 8 >

1 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Faro khaeah caeh loe, Angraeng mah, Praezaek ah kai bok hanah, kai ih kaminawk to tacawtsak lai ah.
The LORD spoke to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Nihcae to na tacawtsak ai nahaeloe, Khenah, na prae thung boih ukong hoiah raihaih kang paek han;
If you refuse to let them go, behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs.
3 pop parai ukongnawk loe vapui thung hoiah tacawt o ueloe, na ohhaih siangpahrang im, na iihhhaih ahmuen, na iihhaih imthung, na tamnanawk ih imthung, nangmah kaminawk ih imthung, buh laom thung hoi takaw naephaih laom thung khoek to daw o tih.
The river will swarm with frogs, which will go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs.
4 Nangmah hoi na tamnanawk, nangmah kaminawk ih takpum nui boih ah ukongnawk to daw o tih, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
The frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.”’”
5 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Aaron hanah, Na ban ih cunghet to vacongnawk, vapui tuinawk hoi kangbuem tuinawk nuiah payangh ah loe, Izip prae boih ah ukongnawk to tacawtsak ah, tiah thuih pae han a naa.
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.’”
6 To pongah Aaron mah Izip prae thung ih tuinawk nuiah a ban to payangh naah, ukongnawk to tacawt o moe, Izip prae thung boih ah koi o.
Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 Toe miklet kop kaminawk mah doeh angmacae miklet kophaih hoiah to baktih hmuen to sak o moe, Izip prae thungah ukongnawk to tacawt o sak toeng.
The magicians did the same thing with their enchantments, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.
8 To pacoengah Faro mah Mosi hoi Aaron to kawk moe, Angraeng mah kai hoi kaimah ih kaminawk khaeah kaom ukongnawk to lak let hanah, Angraeng khaeah lawkthui paeh; to tiah nahaeloe nang ih kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih to sak hanah, kang caeh o sak han, tiah a naa.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the LORD, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”
9 Mosi mah Faro khaeah, Ukongnawk loe vapui ah khue oh o moe, nangmah hoi na tamnanawk, nangmah ih kaminawk, nangmah im hoi nangmah kaminawk imthung ah kaom ukongnawk to dueksak hanah, lawk ka thuihaih atue to na pahoe paeh, tiah a naa.
Moses said to Pharaoh, “I give you the honour of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only.”
10 Faro mah, Khawnbang ah soe, tiah a naa. Mosi mah Kaicae Angraeng Sithaw baktih mi doeh om ai, tiah na panoek thai hanah, na thuih ih lok baktiah om tih.
Pharaoh said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
11 Ukongnawk loe nangmah hoi na imnawk, na tamnanawk, nangmah ih kaminawk khae hoiah tacawt o boih tih, toe vapui ah khue ni om o tih boeh, tiah a naa.
The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only.”
12 Mosi hoi Aaron mah Faro to caeh hoi taak pacoengah, Faro khae hoi ukongnawk anghmat o hanah, Mosi mah Sithaw khaeah lawkthuih.
Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.
13 Mosi mah hnik ih baktih toengah, Angraeng mah sak pae; imthung, avangnawk hoi lawknawk ah kaom ukongnawk loe duek o.
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
14 Kadueh qok to nawnto tapop o pongah, prae thung boih ah ahmui set.
They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.
15 Toe hoikhang boeh, tiah Faro mah panoek naah, palungthahsak let moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi hoi Aaron ih lok to tahngai pae ai.
But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
16 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Aaron han, Na cunghet to payangh sak tahang ah loe, long ih maiphu to bopsak ah; to naah Izip prae thung boih ih maiphunawk to alung ah angcoeng tih, tiah a thuihsak.
The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.’”
17 To tiah a sak hoi. Aaron mah a ban ih cunghet to payangh tahang moe, long ih maiphu to boh; to naah kaminawk hoi moinawk nuiah alungh to oh; Izip prae thung boih ih maiphunawk loe alungh ah angcoeng.
They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 Toe Izip prae thung ih miklet kop kaminawk mah angmacae kophaih hoiah alungh ah angcoengsak hanah a sak o, toe angcoeng o sak thai ai; to pongah alungh loe kami hoi moinawk nui boih ah acuk o.
The magicians tried with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on man, and on animal.
19 To pacoeng loe miklet kop kaminawk mah Faro khaeah, Hae hmuen loe Sithaw ih ban rang hoiah ni oh boeh, tiah a naa o. Toe Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Faro ih palung to thahsak toengtoeng vop pongah, nihnik mah thuih ih lok to tahngai pae ai.
Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is God’s finger;” but Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken.
20 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Khawnthaw ah angthawk ah loe, Faro vapui ah caeh naah anih to tongh hanah zing ah; Angraeng mah, Kai a bok o hanah, kai ih kaminawk to tacawtsak ah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a thuisak.
The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he comes out to the water; and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21 Kai ih kaminawk na tacawtsak ai nahaeloe, Khenah, nangmah hoi na tamnanawk, nangmah ih kami hoi na imthung ah, taksae to kang patoeh han; Izip kaminawk ih imthung boih ah taksae to koi tih, nihcae ohhaih long ah doeh taksae cing ah om tih.
Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground they are on.
22 Toe Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah long um li ah na panoek o hanah, to na ni hoi kamtong kaimah ih kaminawk ohhaih Goshen to, kalah ta ah ka pahoe han, to ahmuen ah loe taksae roe om mak ai.
I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, to the end you may know that I am the LORD on the earth.
23 Kai ih kami hoi nang ih kaminawk to ka tapraek han; hae dawnrai hmuen loe khawnbang ah om amtong tih, tiah a thuih, tiah thuih pae han a naa.
I will put a division between my people and your people. This sign shall happen by tomorrow.”’”
24 Angraeng mah to tiah hmuen to ohsak pongah, Faro siangpahrang ih im, a tamna ih im hoi Izip prae thung boih ah taksae to koi.
The LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses. In all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
25 To naah Faro mah Mosi hoi Aaron to kawk moe, Caeh oh loe, na Sithaw khaeah sak ih angbawnhaih to hae prae thungah sah oh, tiah a naa.
Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land!”
26 Toe Mosi mah, To tiah loe amsoem mak ai; Kaicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, ka sak o ih angbawnhaih loe Izip kaminawk hanah panuet thok hmuen ah om tih; khenah, nangcae mikhnuk ah Izip kaminawk panuet thok ah angbawnhaih to ka sak o nahaeloe, thlung hoi na va o mak ai maw?
Moses said, “It isn’t appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, won’t they stone us?
27 To pongah ni thumto caehhaih praezaek ah ka caeh o moe, ang thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kaicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, angbawnhaih to ka sak o han, tiah a naa.
We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.”
28 Faro mah, Praezaek ah nangmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, angbawnhaih sak hanah kang caeh o sak han; toe kangthla ah caeh o hmah; vaihi kai hanah lawk na thui paeh, tiah a naa.
Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me.”
29 Mosi mah, Khenah, nang khae hoi ka tacawt pacoengah, khawnbang hoi kamtong, taksaenawk mah Faro hoi a tamnanawk, angmah ih kaminawk to tacawt taak hanah, Angraeng khaeah lawk ka thuih roep han; toe Israel kaminawk Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih sak o thai hanah, Faro mah na ling hmah nasoe loe, caehsak ai ah om hmah nasoe, tiah a naa.
Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you. I will pray to the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only don’t let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.”
30 To pacoengah Mosi mah Faro to caehtaak moe, Angraeng khaeah lawk a thuih.
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to the LORD.
31 Mosi mah hnik ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng mah sak pae; taksaenawk loe Faro hoi a tamnanawk, anih ih kaminawk khae hoiah tacawt o; to pacoeng hoiah loe taksae to om ai boeh.
The LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.
32 To nathuem ah doeh Faro loe palung thah vop moe, kaminawk to caehsak ai.
Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he didn’t let the people go.
