Sunglatnah 9
1 BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh taengah cet lamtah anih te thui pah. Hebrew kah Pathen Yahweh loh he ni a thui. Ka pilnam te hlah lamtah kai ham thothueng uh saeh.
The Lord told Moses, “Go and speak to Pharaoh. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
2 Tedae hlah ham na aal tih amih te na yuengyet pueng atah,
If you refuse to let them go and keep holding onto them,
3 BOEIPA kut te lohma kah na boiva soah, marhang soah, laak soah, kalauk soah, saelhung soah tla vetih boiva dongah duektahaw la muep tlung ne.
I will punish you by bringing a very severe plague on your livestock—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
4 Tedae BOEIPA loh Israel kah boiva laklo neh Egypt kah boiva laklo ah a hoep vetih Israel ca rhoek kah boeih tah ol nen pataeng duek pah mahpawh.
But the Lord will distinguish between the livestock of the Israelites and the Egyptians, so that none of those belonging to the Israelites will die.’
5 BOEIPA loh thangvuen ah thui hamla khoning a khueh coeng. He kah hno he BOEIPA loh khohmuen ah a saii ni,” a ti nah.
The Lord has set a time, saying, ‘Tomorrow this is what is going to happen here in the country.’”
6 Tekah BOEIPA loh ol te a vuen ah a thoeng sak. Te dongah Egypt kah boiva tah boeih duek. Tedae Israel ca rhoek kah boiva tah pakhat khaw duek pawh.
The following day the Lord did what he had said. All the Egyptians' livestock died, but not a single animal belonging to the Israelites died.
7 Te vaengah Pharaoh loh hlang a tueih akhaw Israel kah boiva tah pakhat pataeng a duek moenih ne. Tedae Pharaoh lungbuei te a thangpom pueng tih pilnam te hlah pawh.
Pharaoh sent out officials and discovered that not a single one of the Israelites' livestock had died. But Pharaoh was stubborn, and he would not let the people leave.
8 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te, “Hmailing khangvai te namamih rhoi ham na kutnarhum a bae lo rhoi lamtah Moses loh Pharaoh mikhmuh ah vaan la haeh saeh.
The Lord told Moses and Aaron, “Go and get some handfuls of soot from a furnace. Then have Moses throw it into the air in front of Pharaoh.
9 Te vaengah Egypt kho tom ah laipi la poeh vetih, Egypt khohmuen boeih kah hlang so neh rhamsa dongah buhlut la om a hnai neh phuem ni,” a ti nah.
It will spread like fine dust over the whole country of Egypt, and open sores will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”
10 Te dongah hmailing khangvai te a loh rhoi tih Pharaoh mikhmuh ah pai rhoi. Te te Moses loh vaan la a haeh tih buhlut la poeh tih hlang pum dong neh rhamsa dongah a hnai a coe pah.
They got soot from a furnace, and went to see Pharaoh. Moses threw it into the air, and open sores broke out on people and animals.
11 Te vaengah hmayuep rhoek tah buhlut dongah Moses mikhmuh la pai ham noeng uh pawh. Buhlut te hmayuep rhoek so neh Egypt pum soah a om pah.
The magicians were unable to come and appear before Moses, because they and all the other Egyptians were covered in sores.
12 Tedae BOEIPA loh Pharaoh kah lungbuei te a moem pah dongah BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
But the Lord gave Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had told Moses.
13 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Mincang ah thoo lamtah Pharaoh mikhmuh ah pai pah. Te vaengah anih te thui pah. Hebrew kah Pathen Yahweh loh he ni a thui. Ka pilnam he hlah lamtah kai ham thothueng saeh.
The Lord told Moses, “Tomorrow morning get up early and go to Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
14 Tahae voei khat la kai kah lucik cungkuem te na lungbuei neh na sal rhoek taengah, na pilnam taengah kan tueih. Te nen ni diklai pum ah kamah bang a om pawt te na ming eh.
This time I will direct all my plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you will realize that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 Ka kut he ka hlah tih namah neh na pilnam te duektahaw neh kang ngawn coeng dongah diklai lamloh na pat pawn ni.
By now I could have reached out to strike you and your people with a plague that would have completely destroyed you.
16 He kong dongah ka thadueng na phoe ham ni nang kam pai sak. Te dongah ka ming he diklai pum ah thui ham om.
However, I have let you live so you can see my power, and that my reputation may be spread throughout the earth.
17 Amih hlah pawt ham te ka pilnam taengah na picai uh pueng.
But in your pride you are still tyrannizing my people, and refuse to let them leave.
18 Thangvuen a tue vai khat tah rhael muep kan tlan sak khungdaeng pueng ni he. Te bang te a suen khohnin lamloh tahae hil khaw Egypt ah a om moenih.
So watch out! About this time tomorrow I will send down the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the beginning of its history until now.
19 Te dongah tueih lamtah na boiva neh na taengkah boeih te khaw, khohmuen kah hlang boeih neh lohma kah a hmuh rhamsa khaw bakuep sak laeh. Im la a coi pawt te rhael loh a tlak thil vetih duek ni,” a ti nah.
So order your livestock and everything you have in the field to be brought inside. Every person and every animal that stays outside and is not brought inside will die when the hail falls on them.’”
20 Pharaoh sal rhoek khuikah BOEIPA ol aka rhih long tah a sal rhoek neh a boiva khaw im la a rhaelrham puei.
Those of Pharaoh's officials who took seriously what the Lord said rushed to bring their servants and livestock inside.
21 Tedae BOEIPA ol te a lungbuei ah aka khueh pawt long tah a sal neh a boiva te lohma ah a hnoo.
But those who didn't care what the Lord said left their servants and livestock outside.
22 BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Na kut te vaan la thueng lamtah Egypt khohmuen boeih ah hlang so neh rhamsa soah khaw, Egypt diklai kah khohmuen baelhing boeih soah rhael tla bitni,” a ti nah.
The Lord told Moses, “Lift your hand towards the sky so that a hailstorm will fall over the whole of Egypt, on people and on animals, and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt.”
23 Moses loh a conghol te vaan la a thueng tangloeng vaengah BOEIPA loh a ol neh rhael neh a tueih tih hmai khaw diklai la cet. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Egypt khohmuen ah rhael a tlan sak.
Moses held up his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and made lightning hit the ground. This is how the Lord rained hail down on Egypt.
24 Rhael a tlak vaengah rhael lakli ah hmai khaw muep hli khungdaeng. Namtom taengah aka om parhi te Egypt khohmuen tom ah te bang a om noek moenih.
As the hail fell it was accompanied by lightning flashing back and forth. The hail that fell was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in the whole of Egypt since the beginning of its history.
25 Egypt kho tom ah rhael loh lohma kah boeih, hlang lamloh rhamsa hil khaw a ngawn. Khohmuen baelhing boeih te rhael loh a ngawn tih khohmuen thingkung boeih a khong.
All across Egypt hail hit everything in the fields, both people and animals. It knocked down everything growing in the fields, and stripped every tree bare.
26 Israel ca rhoek kah Goshen khohmuen bueng ah ni rhael a tlak pawh.
Only in the land of Goshen where the Israelites lived was there no hail.
27 Te vaengah Pharaoh loh ol a tah tih Moses neh Aaron te a khue. Te phoeiah amih rhoi te, “Ka tholh bal coeng, BOEIPA he dueng ngawn dae kamah neh ka pilnam ni aka halang coeng.
Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and told them, “I admit that I sinned this time! The Lord is right, and I and my people are wrong!
28 BOEIPA taengah thangthui rhoi laeh. Pathen kah ol neh rhael a tlak khaw yet coeng. Nangmih te kan tueih daengah nan pai thil ham te na khoep pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
Pray to the Lord for us, because there's been more than enough of God's thunder and hail. I will let you leave. You don't need to stay here any longer.”
29 Te vaengah Moses loh anih te, “Khopuei he ka nong tak tih BOEIPA taengah ka kut ka phuel ni. Ol khaw paa tih rhael koep a bo pawt daengah ni diklai he BOEIPA ham ni tila na ming eh.
“Once I've left the city, I will pray to the Lord for you,” Moses told him. “The thunder will stop, and there'll be no more hail, so that you will realize that the earth belongs to the Lord.
30 Tedae namah neh na sal rhoek loh BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh ah na rhih uh hlan tila ka ming.
But I know you and your officials still do not really respect the Lord our God.”
31 Thut neh cangtun neh khaw cangtun vueilue neh thut muem khaw a ngawn coeng.
(The flax and barley were destroyed, because the barley was ripe and the flax was flowering.
32 Tedae cang neh cangkuem tah a hnong pueng dongah ngawn pawh.
However, the wheat and the spelt were not destroyed because they grow later.)
33 Moses loh Pharaoh taeng lamkah khopuei a nong tak tih BOEIPA taengah a kut a phuel. Te daengah rhaek ol neh rhael khaw paa tih khotlan loh khohmuen ah bo pawh.
Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city, and prayed to the Lord. The thunder and hail stopped, and the rainstorm finished.
34 Khotlan neh rhael neh ol paa coeng tila Pharaoh loh a hmuh van neh tholh te a khoep tih amah neh a sal rhoek loh a lungbuei a thangpom.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again, and he chose to become stubborn again, along with his officials.
35 Te dongah Pharaoh lungbuei tah ning tih BOEIPA loh Moses kut ah a uen bangla Israel ca hlah pawh.
Because of his stubborn attitude, Pharaoh would not let the Israelites leave, just as the Lord had predicted through Moses.
