< Exodus 3 >

1 And Moses tended the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock behind the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God — to Horeb.
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.
2 And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thorn-bush: and he looked, and behold, the thorn-bush burned with fire, and the thorn-bush was not being consumed.
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.
3 And Moses said, Let me now turn aside and see this great sight, why the thorn-bush is not burnt.
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.
4 And Jehovah saw that he turned aside to see, and God called to him out of the midst of the thorn-bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I.
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.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: loose thy sandals from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
“Hin nailut hihbeh in” tin Pakaiyin agih tan ahi. “Nakeng chot kisut in, ajeh chu nang ma muntheng'a ding nahi.
6 And he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.
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.
7 And Jehovah said, I have seen assuredly the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and their cry have I heard on account of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.
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.
8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good and spacious land, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
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.
9 And now behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me; and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
Vetan! Israel chate ka awgin ka angsung ahung lhung tai, chule Egypt miten asuh gimnau kichen tah in kamutai.
10 And now come, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Tun che jengin, ajeh chu Keiman nanghi Pharaoh henga kasol nahiye. Kami Israelte Egypt gam'a kona nahin puidoh ding ahi,” ati.
11 And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
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.
12 And he said, For I will be with thee; and this shall be the sign to thee that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
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.
13 And Moses said to God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
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.
14 And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM. And he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto you.
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.
15 And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
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.
16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying, I have indeed visited you, and [seen] that which is done unto you in Egypt;
“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.
17 and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
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.
18 And they shall hearken to thy voice. And thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.
“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.
19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a powerful hand.
“Amavang Egypt lengpa chu khut thahat in ano kahse a nahin soldoh lou diu keiman kahei,” ati.
20 And I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof; and after that he will let you go.
“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.
21 And I will give this people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it shall come to pass, when ye go out, that ye shall not go out empty;
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.
22 but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is the inmate of her house, utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing; and ye shall put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and shall spoil the Egyptians.
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.
