< Exodus 7 >

1 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
BOEIPA loh Moses te, “So lah, nang te Pharaoh taengah Pathen la kang khueh tih na maya Aaron te nang kah tonghma la om coeng.
2 You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Nang kang uen boeih te namah loh thui lamtah na maya Aaron loh Pharaoh taengah thui saeh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te a khohmuen lamloh a hlah bitni.
3 I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Tedae kai loh Pharaoh kah lungbuei te ka mangkhak sak vetih ka miknoek neh kai kah kopoekrhai he Egypt khohmuen ah ka ping sak ni.
4 But Pharaoh will not listen to you, so I will lay my hand on Egypt, and bring out my armies, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
Te lalah nang ol te Pharaoh loh hnatun pawt cakhaw ka kut he Egypt soah ka hlah ni. Te vaengah tholhphu tanglue a paek rhangneh ka pilnam Israel ca te Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka caempuei la ka khuen ni.
5 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I stretch out my hand on Egypt, and bring the children of Israel out from among them.”
Egypt te ka kut ka hlah thil tih Israel ca te amih khui lamloh ka khuen vaengah Egypt loh kai he BOEIPA la a ming uh bitni,” a ti nah.
6 Moses and Aaron did so. As Yahweh commanded them, so they did.
A saii vaengah khaw BOEIPA kah a uen banglam ni Moses neh Aaron loh amih taengah a saii rhoi.
7 Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Pharaoh taengah a voek rhoi vaengah he Moses te kum sawmrhet lo ca tih Aaron te kum sawmrhet kum thum lo ca coeng.
8 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Perform a miracle!’ then you shall tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”
“Pharaoh loh nangmih te m'voek tih, ‘Nangmih kah kopoekrhai tueng sak,’ a ti ni. Te vaengah Aaron te, ‘Na conghol te khuen laeh. Te phoeiah Pharaoh mikhmuh ah tloeng lamtah tuihnam la poeh bitni,’” a ti nah.
10 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yahweh had commanded. Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Te dongah Moses neh Aaron te Pharaoh taengah cet rhoi tih BOEIPA loh a uen vanbangla a saii rhoi. Te vaengah Aaron loh a conghol te Pharaoh mikhmuh neh a sal rhoek mikhmuh ah a voeih pah tih tuihnam la poeh.
11 Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same thing with their enchantments.
Pharaoh long khaw hlangcueih neh hlangbi rhoek te a khue. Amih Egypt hmayuep rhoek long khaw amamih kah hmaitak neh phek a saii uh.
12 For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
Hlang loh a conghol tah a voeih uh tih tuihnam la poeh ngawn dae Aaron kah conghol loh amih kah conghol te a dolh pah.
13 Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
Te phoeiah Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah mangkhak pueng tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn. He refuses to let the people go.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pharaoh kah lungbuei tah thah tih pilnam te hlah ham a aal.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning. Behold, he is going out to the water. You shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. You shall take the rod which was turned to a serpent in your hand.
Pharaoh te mincang ah paan rhoi. Tui taeng la a pawk vaengah sokko soktaeng ah anih tong ham ana pai rhoi ne. Te vaengah rhul la aka poeh conghol te na kut dongah khuen rhoi.
16 You shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, “Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Behold, until now you haven’t listened.”
Te phoeiah anih te, ‘Hebrew kah Pathen YAHWEH loh nang taengah kai he n'tueih tih, Ka pilnam te tueih lamtah khosoek ah kai ham thothueng uh saeh,’ a ti. Tedae tahae duela na hnatun moenih ko he.
17 Yahweh says, “In this you shall know that I am Yahweh. Behold: I will strike with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. ‘He nen ni kai he BOEIPA la na ming eh. Ka kut dongkah conghol neh sokko kah tui te ka boh vetih thii la poeh pawn ni he.
18 The fish that are in the river will die and the river will become foul. The Egyptians will loathe to drink water from the river.”’”
Sokko kah nga te duek vetih sokko te rhim ni. Sokko lamkah tui a ok ham vaengah Egypt rhoek te khobing uh ni,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
19 Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood. There will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Aaron te, ‘Na conghol khuen lamtah Egypt tui so neh a tuiva soah, a sokko so neh a tuibap ah, a tui tungnah boeih soah na kut thueng pah. Te vaengah thii la poeh vetih Egypt khohmuen tom ah thing khuikah neh lungto khuikah khaw thii la poeh ni,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
20 Moses and Aaron did so, as Yahweh commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
Moses neh Aaron loh BOEIPA kah a uen bangla a saii rhoi. Conghol te a thueng tih Pharaoh mikhmuh neh a sal rhoek mikhmuh ah sokko kah tui te a boh. Te vaengah sokko kah tui boeih te thii la poeh.
21 The fish that were in the river died. The river became foul. The Egyptians couldn’t drink water from the river. The blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
Te vaengah sokko kah nga khaw duek tih sokko te rhim coeng. Te dongah Egypt rhoek loh sokko lamkah tui ok ham coeng voel pawh. Egypt khohmuen tom ah thii om.
22 The magicians of Egypt did the same thing with their enchantments. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
Tedae Egypt hmayuep rhoek long khaw a tuisiduei neh a saii uh van. Te dongah Pharaoh kah lungbuei mangkhak tih BOEIPA kah a thui bangla amih rhoi ol te hnatun pawh.
23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he didn’t even take this to heart.
Pharaoh te mael tih amah im la a pawk phoeiah tah he he a lungbuei ah dueh pawh.
24 All the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they couldn’t drink the river water.
Sokko tui te ok ham a coeng pawt dongah, ok ham tui te Egypt pum loh sokko kaepvai ah a too.
25 Seven days were fulfilled, after Yahweh had struck the river.
BOEIPA loh sokko a ngawn te a hnukah hnin rhih a cup sak.
