< Exodus 8 >

1 The Lord also said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh taengah cet lamtah anih te, 'BOEIPA loh ka pilnam te hlah lamtah kai taengah thothueng saeh,’ a ti.
2 But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts with frogs.
Tedae hlah ham na aal atah na khorhi boeih ah bukak kan yok sak coeng ne.
3 And the river will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods.
Bukak te sokko ah kah vetih ha luei ni. Te vaengah na im khui neh imhman kah na thingkong dongah, na baiphaih dongah, na sal im khui neh na pilnam soah, na tapkhuel khui neh na vaidambael khuila kun ni.
4 And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”
Namah so neh na pilnam soah khaw na sal boeih soah khaw bukak luei ni, 'ti nah,” a ti.
5 And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over the land of Egypt.’”
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Aaron te na kut thueng lamtah na conghol neh tuiva soah khaw, sokko soah khaw, tuibap soah khi laeh,'ti nah. Te vaengah bukak te Egypt khohmuen ah ha luei saeh,” a ti nah.
6 And Aaron extended his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Te dongah Aaron loh a kut te Egypt tui soah a thueng. Te vaengah bukak ha luei tih Egypt khohmuen te a khuk.
7 Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Tedae hmayuep loh a tuisiduei neh phek a saii uh tih bukak te Egypt kho la luei van.
8 But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to sacrifice to the Lord.”
Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Moses neh Aaron te a khue tih, “BOEIPA taengah thangthui lamtah bukak he kai lamkah neh ka pilnam taeng lamlong khaw nong sak saeh. Te vaengah pilnam te ka tueih vetih BOEIPA taengah hmueih a nawn uh bitni,” a ti nah.
9 And Moses said to Pharaoh: “Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river.”
Te phoeiah Moses loh Pharaoh te, “Kai ham mah hoep dae. Nang ham neh na sal rhoek ham, na pilnam ham khaw, bukak te namah neh na im lamloh a hnawt tih sokko ah dawk a om ham me vaengah lae thangthui eh?” a ti nah.
10 And he responded, “Tomorrow.” Then he said, “I will act according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
“Thangvuen ah,” a ti nah dongah, “Na ol bangla kaimih kah Pathen Yahweh bang a om pawt khaw na ming van bitni.
11 And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river.”
Te vaengah bukak te nang lamkah neh na im lamlong khaw, na sal rhoek taeng lamkah neh na pilnam taeng lamloh nong vetih sokko ah ni dawk a om eh?,” a ti nah.
12 And Moses and Aaron departed from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord on behalf of the promise that he had made to Pharaoh concerning the frogs.
Te phoeiah Moses neh Aaron te Pharaoh taeng lamloh nong tih Pharaoh sokah a khueh olka, bukak kawng te Moses loh BOEIPA taengah a pang pah.
13 And the Lord acted according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.
Moses kah ol bangla BOEIPA loh a saii dongah bukak te im ah khaw, vongup ah khaw, lohma ah khaw duek.
14 And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
Te te a hlom a hlom la a hmoek uh tih khohmuen tom ah rhim.
15 Then Pharaoh, seeing that relief had been provided, hardened his own heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
A hmuh daengah Pharaoh te hilhoemnah a om pah. Tedae a lungbuei a thangpom tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
16 And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth. And let there be stinging insects throughout the entire the land of Egypt.’”
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Aaron te, 'Na conghol thueng lamtah diklai kah laipi te taam. Te vaengah Egypt khohmuen boeih ah pilhlip la om ni, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
17 And they did so. And Aaron extended his hand, holding the staff, and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came stinging insects upon men and upon beasts. All the dust of the earth was turned into stinging insects through all the land of Egypt.
A saii rhoi tangloeng tih Aaron loh a kut te a thueng. A conghol neh diklai dongkah laipi te a taam vaengah pilhlip te hlang pum dong neh rhamsa dongah om. Diklai laipi boeih te Egypt kho tom ah pilhlip la poeh.
18 And the sorcerers, with their incantations, did similarly, in order to bring forth stinging insects, but they were not able. And there were stinging insects, as much on men as on beasts.
Tedae hmayuep rhoek long khaw pilhlip om sak ham a thaai neh a saii uh van tangloeng. Tedae pilhlip te hlang dong neh rhamsa dongah khaw om thai pawh.
19 And the sorcerers said to Pharaoh: “This is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
Te vaengah ah hmayuep rhoek loh Pharaoh taengah, “Pathen kah kutdawn la he,” a ti uh. Tedae Pharaoh lungbuei tah ning tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
20 The Lord also said to Moses: “Arise at first light, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, for he will go out to the waters. And you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people to sacrifice to me.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Mincang ah thoo lamtah Pharaoh mikhmuh ah pai pah. Tui taengla a pawk vaengah amah te, 'BOEIPA loh, 'Ka pilnam he hlah lamtah kai ham thothueng uh saeh,’ a ti coeng he.
21 But if you will not release them, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses, diverse kinds of flies. And the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with diverse kinds of flies, as well as the whole land in which they will be.
Tedae ka pilnam te nan hlah pawt atah namah so neh na sal rhoek soah khaw, na pilnam so neh na im ah khaw pil ka tueih coeng ne. Te dongah pil te Egypt imkhui neh amih kah a diklai dongah khaw bae ni.
22 And in that day, I will cause a miracle in the land of Goshen, where my people are, so that flies will not be there. And you will know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
Tedae te khohnin ah Goshen khohmuen kah ka pilnam te ka hoep vetih a khuikah aka om te pil om pah mahpawh. Te daegah ni diklai hman ah kai he BOEIPA la nan ming eh.
23 And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will be.’”
Ka pilnam laklo neh na pilnam laklo ah tlannah ka khueh vetih miknoek he thangvuen ah thoeng bitni,’ ti nah,” a ti.
24 And the Lord did so. And there came very grievous flies into the houses of Pharaoh and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. And the land was polluted, in this way, by the flies.
BOEIPA loh a saii tangkhuet tih Pharaoh im khui neh a sal im neh Egypt khohmuen boeih ah pil tlung ha pawk. Pil dongah mah khohmuen khaw poci.
25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this land.”
Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Moses neh Aaron te a khue tih, “Cet uh lamtah khohmuen ah na Pathen te nawn uh laeh,” a ti nah.
26 And Moses said: “It cannot be so. For we will immolate the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. For if we slaughter those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.
Tedae Moses loh, “Egypt kah tueilaehkoi dongah he he saii ham a thuem moenih. Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA ham ka nawn uh vaengah Egypt lamkah tueilaehkoi te ka nawn uh koinih amih mikhmuh ah kaimih n'dae uh mahpawt nim?
27 We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”
Kaimih n'uen bangla hnin thum long caeh kah khosoek ah kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA te ka nawn uh eh,” a ti nah.
28 And Pharaoh said: “I will release you in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert. Yet you may only go so far. Petition for me.”
Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh, “Kai loh nangmih kan hlah bitni, khosoek ah na Pathen BOEIPA te nawn tangloeng. Tedae a hla, hla la cet uh boel lamtah kai ham khaw thangthui uh,” a ti nah.
29 And Moses said: “After departing from you, I will pray to the Lord. And the flies will withdraw from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Yet do not be willing to deceive any longer, so that you would not release the people to sacrifice to the Lord.”
Te vaengah Moses loh, “Nang taeng lamloh ka nong vetih BOEIPA taengah ka thangthui bitni. Pil khaw Pharaoh neh a sal rhoek taeng lamloh, a pilnam taeng lamloh thangvuen ah nong bitni ne. Tedae Pharaoh te omsaa ham koei boel saeh, pilnam te BOEIPA taengah nawn hamla tueih pawt ve,” a ti nah.
30 And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
Te phoeiah Moses te Pharaoh taeng lamloh nong tih BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
31 And he acted according to his word. And he took away the flies from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people. There was not even one left behind.
Moses kah ol bangla BOEIPA loh a saii dongah pil te Pharaoh taeng lamkah neh a sal rhoek taeng lamloh, a pilnam taeng lamloh nong tih pakhat khaw om pawh.
32 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
Tedae tahae tue ah khaw Pharaoh te a lungbuei a thangpom tih pilnam te tueih pawh.
