1Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
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.
2Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”
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.
3They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
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.
4The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
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.
5Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
5Huan, Pharo in, ngai un, gama mite tuin a tam ua, a puakgik ua kipan in na khawlsak uh, achia.
6The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
6Huchiin, Pharo in huai ni mah in mite nasem heutute leh upate thu a pia a,
7“You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
7Tuma siah a bangin teklei bawl na dingin mite pawl na pe nawn kei ding uh: kuan uhenla, pawl va kilak uhen.
8The number of the bricks, which they made before, you require from them. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
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.
9Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor therein; and don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
9Na tam sem a tunguah guan unla, huaia a sepgim theih na ding un; huan thu ginalou limsak kei un, chiin.
10The taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
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.
11Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
11Nou kuan unla, na muh theih theihna uah pawl kilak uh: himahleh na nasep uah bangmah a kikiamsak kei ding, a chi ua.
12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
12Huchiin mite pawl hi jawlou in buhbul lakhawm ding in Aigupta gam tengteng ah a vak jakta uhi.
13The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
13Huan, nasem heututen amau a noh ua, na nasep uh zou un, na niteng sepdingte uh pawl a omlai ngalin, chiin.
14The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
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.
15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
15Huaitakin Israel suante upate a hong ua, Pharo kiangah a kap ua, bangdia na sikhate hichi bawl tel na hia?
16No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
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.
17But he said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’
17Ahihhangin aman, thadah na hi uh, thadah na hi uh: huaijiakin, honpaisak inla, Toupa kiangah hon va kithoihsak un, na chi uh.
18Go therefore now, and work, for no straw shall be given to you, yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
18Huaijiakin kuan unla; na va sem un; pawl hong kipe kei ding, a hihhangin teklei bikhiahzah na piak khiak ding uh ahi, achi hi.
19The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota 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.
20They met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came out from Pharaoh:
20Huan, Pharo a kipan a hongpai khia a, lampia ding, Mosi leh Aron a kituahpih ua:
21and they said to them, “May Yahweh look at you, and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us.”
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.
22Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
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.
23For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people; neither have you delivered your people at all.”
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.
