1 Mosen nikhat anupa pa Median thempu pa Jethro kelngoi achin laijin. Kelgoi hon chu gamlha tah gamthip lam'a apuiyin, Pathen molsang, Sinai lam'a chun ahung tan ahi.
Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb.
2 Hiche laimun'a chun Pathen vantil meikong in hamboh lah'a ahung kilah in, Mose in lungdong tah in aven ahi. Hamboh chu akong jeng in hinlah akavam deh pon ahi.
Yahweh’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 Chuin Mose ama leh ama aki houlim in, “Hiche hi datmah umtah thil ahiye, ipijeh pentah a hiche hamboh khu kavam lou ahidem? kache a kavet tei angaiye” ati.
Moses said, “I will go now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.”
4 Hichu ve dinga Mose in hilam chu anailut jep jep e ti Pakaiyin amuphat'in, Pathen in hamboh lailung akon in, “Mose! Mose!” tin akouvin ahile, Mose in jong a donbut in “Keima hiva ka um'e,” ati.
When Yahweh saw that he came over to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!” He said, “Here I am.”
5 “Hin nailut hihbeh in” tin Pakaiyin agih tan ahi. “Nakeng chot kisut in, ajeh chu nang ma muntheng'a ding nahi.
He said, “Don’t come close. Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”
6 Keima napa dinga a-Pathen kahi - Abraham Pathen, Isaac Pathen, leh Jacob Pathen kahi”, ati. Hichu Mose in ajah phat in amai akhutai, ajeh chu Pathen avet ngamlou ahi.
Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.
7 Chuphat in Pakaiyin ahenga aseijin, “Egypt a kamite kibol gimna ka muchen tai. Achung'uva tohvai hom hon asuh gimnau aka awgin'u kaja tan ahi. Heng'e, a thohgim nau abonchan ka hechen tai, ati.
Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
8 Hijeh a chu Egypt mite thannei nanoiya kon'a amaho huhdoh ding le Egypt gam'a kon'a gampha tah, khoiju le bongnoi lon na gam hichu - Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amor mite, Periz mite, Hivi mite Chule Jebus mite tua achenna'u gam'a puilut dinga Keima hikoma hung kumlha kahi, ati.
I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
9 Vetan! Israel chate ka awgin ka angsung ahung lhung tai, chule Egypt miten asuh gimnau kichen tah in kamutai.
Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Tun che jengin, ajeh chu Keiman nanghi Pharaoh henga kasol nahiye. Kami Israelte Egypt gam'a kona nahin puidoh ding ahi,” ati.
Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
11 Hinlah Mose Pathen heng'ah akiphin in, “Kei koi kahia Pharaoh henga kaga kilah ding ham? Kei koi ka hia Israelte Egypt gam'a kon'a ka hin puidoh ding ham?” ati.
Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
12 Pathen in adonbut in, “Keiman ka umpi jing ding nahiye. Keiman kasol nahina nangma dinga melchihna hiche hi ahi: Nangman miho chu Egypt gam'a kon'a nahin puidoh teng leh, hiche mol tah a hi Pathen na hou ding'u ahi,” ati.
He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
13 Ahivang'in Mose akiphin'in, “Keima Israel chate henga kachea ajah uva, ‘Napu napateu Pathen in na heng uva eihinsol ahi,’ tin sei leng ‘Amin ipi ham?’ tia eidoh diu ahi, chuteng amaho chu iti ka donbut ding ham?,” ati.
Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what should I tell them?”
14 Pathen in Mose a donbut in, “Keima hi Keima ka hi jeng'e. Hiche hi Israelte heng'a seipeh in: Keima chun na heng'uva eihinsol ahi,” tin ati.
God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
15 Pathen in jong Mose heng'a aseiyin, “Hiche hi Israelte heng'a seipeh in: Yahweh, napu napateu Pathen - Abraham Pathen, Isaac Pathen, chule Jacob Pathen in - naheng uva eihin sol ahi. Hiche hi ka tonsot min ahi, akhang akhang'a nageldoh jing diu kamin ahi.
God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
16 “Tun chenlang Israel sung'a upa ho gakou khom tan. Aheng'uva seipeh in 'Yahweh, napu napauteu Pathen - Abraham, Isaac, chule Jacob Pathen - kahenga akilah in ahi. Aman kajah-a aseiyin, “Keiman naichan kanave jing'un, chule Egypt miten na-engbol nau keiman kamui.
Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.
17 Keiman nangho Egypt a nagenthei thoh nauva kon'a huh doh ding'a kakitep ahi. Keiman khoiju leh bongnoi lon na gam'a chu kapuilut ding nahiuve - hichu Canaan mite, Hit mite, Amor mite, Periz mite, Hivi mite Chule Jebus mite tua achen nau gam khu ahi,” ati.
I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’
18 “Israel upa hon nathusei angai diu ahi. Chuteng nang leh Israel upa chengse Egypt lengpa heng'a nache tei uva, ‘Pakai, Hebrew mite Pathen chun, eikimupi uve. Hijeh chun lungset tah in nithum sung'a gamthip lam'a kakhol jin uva Pakai ka Pathen'u henga kilhaina kasem dingu ahi” tia aheng'a nagasei diu ahi.
They will listen to your voice. You shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.’
19 “Amavang Egypt lengpa chu khut thahat in ano kahse a nahin soldoh lou diu keiman kahei,” ati.
I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 “Hijeh a chu Keiman kakhut ka lhan a, chule Egypt mite kajep ding, alah uva thil kidang jouse kabol ding ahi. Ajona le Aman nahin soldoh ding'u ahi.
I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do among them, and after that he will let you go.
21 Chule keiman Egypt mite mitvet a khotona ka hin chan sah ding na hiuve. Ama hon thilpeh na hin peh dingu chuteng khut goh keova na dalhah lou diu ahiye.
I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.
22 Israel numei jousen akinaipiu Egypt mite leh a in'uva um gamchom numei ho hokom'a sana leh dangka chule ponsil akithum cheh ding'u ahi. Na chanu teu leh na chapa teu hiche ho chu navon peh dingu, Egypt mite haosatna jouse na holhah peh dingu ahi,” ati.
But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing. You shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”
