¹Huan, huai nungin Mosi leh Aron a lut ua, hichibangin Israelte Toupa Pathian in achi, gamdai a kei dia ankuang luina a bawl theih na ding un, ka mite paisakin, chiin, Pharo a hilh ua.

¹And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

²Huan, Pharo in Israel te paisak dinga a aw ka man ding, Toupa kua ahia? Tua toupa ka theikei, Israel te leng ka paisak kei ding, achia.

²And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.

³Huchiin amau, Hebru te Pathian in hon kimuhpih a: gamdai ah ni thum lamah, hon paisak in, ka hon ngen uhi, Toupa ka Pathian kianguah hin kithoihsak in; hi hiam, namsau hiam in a hon gawt kha ding hi, achi ua.

³And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

⁴Huan, Aigupta kumpipan a kianguah, bang dinga, Mosi leh Aron, a nasepte ua mite khawlsak na hia? Na puakgik te uh pua un, achi hi.

⁴And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.

⁵Huan, Pharo in, ngai un, gama mite tuin a tam ua, a puakgik ua kipan in na khawlsak uh, achia.

⁵And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

⁶Huchiin, Pharo in huai ni mah in mite nasem heutute leh upate thu a pia a,

⁶And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

⁷Tuma siah a bangin teklei bawl na dingin mite pawl na pe nawn kei ding uh: kuan uhenla, pawl va kilak uhen.

⁷Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

⁸Tumasiah a a teklei bawlsa te tengteng uh, a tunguah na koih ding ua; huai a kipan in bangmah na kiamsak kei ding uh: a tha uh a dah kha dinga; huchiin kapin, ka Pathian kianguah hon paisak in hon va kithoihsak in, a chi kha ding uh.

⁸And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

⁹Na tam sem a tunguah guan unla, huaia a sepgim theih na ding un; huan thu ginalou limsak kei un, chiin.

⁹Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard vain words.

¹⁰Huchiin, mite nasem heutute a pai khia ua, a upate u toh, mite kiangah thu a gen ua, hichibang Pharo in, pawl ka honpe kei ding, a chi hi.

¹⁰And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.

¹¹Nou kuan unla, na muh theih theihna uah pawl kilak uh: himahleh na nasep uah bangmah a kikiamsak kei ding, a chi ua.

¹¹Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.

¹²Huchiin mite pawl hi jawlou in buhbul lakhawm ding in Aigupta gam tengteng ah a vak jakta uhi.

¹²So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.

¹³Huan, nasem heututen amau a noh ua, na nasep uh zou un, na niteng sepdingte uh pawl a omlai ngalin, chiin.

¹³And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.

¹⁴Huchiin, Israel suante upate, Pharo nasem heututen a tung ua a koihte uh, a vua ua, bangdia tumasiah a banga janleh tuni a na teklei bawl uh zoulou na hi ua? Chiin, a hap uh.

¹⁴And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?

¹⁵Huaitakin Israel suante upate a hong ua, Pharo kiangah a kap ua, bangdia na sikhate hichi bawl tel na hia?

¹⁵Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?

¹⁶Na sikha ten lah pawl honpe lou ua, amau lah ka kiang uah, teklei bawl un, achi ua: ngaiin, na sikhaten honvua uh; ahia, mohna na mite ngei ah a om hi, chiin.

¹⁶There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.

¹⁷Ahihhangin aman, thadah na hi uh, thadah na hi uh: huaijiakin, honpaisak inla, Toupa kiangah hon va kithoihsak un, na chi uh.

¹⁷But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.

¹⁸Huaijiakin kuan unla; na va sem un; pawl hong kipe kei ding, a hihhangin teklei bikhiahzah na piak khiak ding uh ahi, achi hi.

¹⁸Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.

¹⁹Huchiin, na niteng nasep ua na teklei te ua kipan bangmah na kiamsak ding uh ahi kei, a kichih nungin, Israel suante upaten thu a sia a a omdan uh a theita uhi.

¹⁹And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.

²⁰Huan, Pharo a kipan a hongpai khia a, lampia ding, Mosi leh Aron a kituahpih ua:

²⁰And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

²¹A kianguah, Toupan nou hon ena, vai a hawm; Pharo mit leh a sikhate mita ka gimnam uh kih huaia na bawl ua, kou hon that dinga a khut ua namsau na koihtak jiak un, achia ua.

²¹And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.

²²Huchiin, Toupa kiangah Mosi a kik nawna, Toupa, bang dinga hiai mite hichibang gilou suaksak na hia? Bangdia kei honsawl na hia?Na mina thugen kia Pharo kianga ka vahoh nungsiah lah, aman hiai mite kiangah gilou a bawlta ngala: na mite leh na pi khe het kei hi, achia.

²²And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?

²³Na mina thugen kia Pharo kianga ka vahoh nungsiah lah, aman hiai mite kiangah gilou a bawlta ngala: na mite leh na pi khe het kei hi, achia.

²³For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
