¹Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb.

¹Tuin Mosiin a sungpa, midian siampu, Jethro gan hon a chinga: gan hon gamdai pang lamah a pi a, Pathian tang, Horeb pha hialin, a hongpai hi.

²The angel of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

²Huan, pawn laka kipanin mei kuangin a kiangah Toupa angel a kilak: a en a, huan, ngaiin, meiin pawn a kuanga, huchiin pawn a kang kei hi.

³Moses said, “I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”

³Huan, Mosiin, ka kihei dinga, hiai thilmuh thupi, bangdia pawn kanglou ahia, ka en ding, a chi a.

⁴When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!” He said, “Here I am.”

⁴Huchia en dinga a kihei Toupan a muhin pawn laka kipanin amah a sama, Mosi, Mosi, a chi a. huan, aman, hiaiah ka om a chi hi.

⁵He said, “Don’t come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”

⁵Huan, aman, hiai lam honnaih ken: na khepek akipan na khedapte suahin, na dinna mun lah lei siangthou ahi ngala, a chi a.

⁶Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.

⁶Hichiin a chi laia, na Pa Pathian ka hi, Abraham Pathian, Isaak Pathian, leh Jakob Pathian, huchiin Mosiin a mai a sela; Pathian a et ngam louh jiakin;

⁷Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

⁷Huan, Toupan, Aigupta gama ka mite thuak gimna ka mua, a tung ua nasemheutute jiaka a kah uh ka za mahmah ta hi; a dahnate uh ka thei ngala, a chi a;

⁸I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

⁸Huchiin Aiguptate khuta kipana amaute pi khe ding leh, amaute huai gama kipana gamhoih, ja, bawngnawi leh khuaijua luang gam tun dia hongpai suk ka hi; Kanante, Hitte, Amorte, Perizte, Hivite leh Jebuste gamah.

⁹Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

⁹Huai jiakin tuin, ngaiin, Israel suante kah ka kiang a hongtung: Nuaihsiahnaa Aigupta ten amau a nuaisiah uh leng ka muta hi.

¹⁰Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

¹⁰Huaijiakin tuin Kisain, Pharo kiangah ka honsawl ding, Aigupta gama kipana Israel suante ka mite na honpi khiak theihna dingin, a chi a.

¹¹Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

¹¹Huan, Mosiin hichiin Pathian kiangah, Pharo kianga hoh dia, Aigupta gama kipana Israel suante pikhe ding, kei kua ka hia? A chi a.

¹²He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

¹²Huan, aman, na kiangah ka om ngeingei ding, ka honsawl chih, hiai nang adin a kitheina ahi ding: Aigupta gama kipana mite na honpi khiak khit chiangin, hiai tang tungah Pathian naa na sem ding uh, a chi a.

¹³Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you;’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ What should I tell them?”

¹³Huan, mosiin Pathian kiangah, ngaiin, Israel suante kianga ka honga, a kiangua, hichia ka chih chiangin, na pipute uh Pathianin na kiang uah a honsawl; amau hichiin ka kiangah a chi ding uh, a min bang ahia? a kiang uah bang ka chi dia? A chi a.

¹⁴God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

¹⁴Huchiin, Pathianin Mosi kiangah, KA HIH KA HI: a chi a: huan, huchibangin Israel suante kiangah na vachi ding, KA HI in na kiang uah a honsawl hi, a chi a.

¹⁵God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

¹⁵Huan, Pathianin Mosi kiangah hichiin a chih behlap a, Israel suante Pathian, Abraham Pathian, Isaak Pathian, Jakob Pathian in na kiang uah a honsawl; hiai ka min ahi gige a, huan suan tengteng tani ka theigige na ahi.

¹⁶Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt;

¹⁶Kuan, inla, Israel upate kaikhawm inla, a kiang uah hichiin chiin, Na pipute uh Toupa Pathian, Abraham Pathian, Isaak Pathian leh Jakob Pathian ka kiangah a hongkika, hichiin a chi, ka hongveh peuhmaha, Aigupta gama na tung ua hihte ka muta hi:

¹⁷and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’

¹⁷Huan, hichiin ka chita, Aigupta gimna kipanin Kanante, Hitte, Amorte Perite, hivite leh Jebuste gam, bawngnawi leh khuaijua luangah ka honla khe ding.

¹⁸They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.’

¹⁸Na aw a ngai khe ding: huchiin na kuan dinga, nang leh Israel upate, Aigupta kumpipa kiangah na hoh ding uh, a kiangah hichi bang in na chi ding uh, Hebru te Toupa Pathian in hon kimuhpih a: tu in, ka hon ngen uhi, hon paisak in, gamdai a ni thum lama, Toupa ka Pathian uh kianga ka ki thoih theih na ding un.

¹⁹I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand.

¹⁹A hia Aigupta kumpipan a hon paisak kei ding chih ka theitel hi, a ban thahat in hilou in.

²⁰I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that he will let you go.

²⁰Huchiin, ka ban ka jak dinga, a lak ua ka hih ding ka thil lamdang te tengteng in Aigupta gam ka gawt ding: huan, huai nung chiangin a hon paisak ding hi.

²¹I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.

²¹Huan, Aigupta te mitmuh in hiai mite deihsak na ka pe ding, huchiin hichi ahi dinga, na pai chiang un a vuak in na pai kei ding uh:Numei teng in a innveng leh a inn a nituang nu a kipan in, dangka suangmantam te, dangkaeng suangmantam te leh puansilh te a leitawi ding: huchiin huaite na tapa te uh na silhsak ding ua, na tanu te uh na silhsak ding uhi; huchiin Aigupta te na gallak ding uhi.

²²But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”

²²Numei teng in a innveng leh a inn a nituang nu a kipan in, dangka suangmantam te, dangkaeng suangmantam te leh puansilh te a leitawi ding: huchiin huaite na tapa te uh na silhsak ding ua, na tanu te uh na silhsak ding uhi; huchiin Aigupta te na gallak ding uhi.
