Exodus 24
1 To pacoengah Mosi khaeah, Nangmah hoi Aaron, Nadab, Abihu hoi Israel kacoehta qui sarihto Angraeng khaeah angzo o tahang ah, nihcae loe ahmuen kangthla hoiah bok o nasoe.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders—and you are to worship at a distance.
2 Mosi khue ni Angraeng taengah caeh tih; kalah kaminawk loe a taengah caeh o hmah; kaminawk doeh anih hoi nawnto caeh o hmah nasoe, tiah a naa.
Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but the others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”
3 Mosi mah caeh moe, kaminawk khaeah lokcaekhaih hoi Angraeng ih loknawk boih to thuih naah, kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok to ka sak o boih han, tiah nawnto a thuih o.
When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”
4 Angraeng mah thuih ih loknawk boih loe Mosi mah tarik; khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, mae tlim ah hmaicam maeto a sak pacoengah, Israel acaeng hathlai hnetto angmathaih thlung hathlai hnetto a tling.
And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 To pacoengah anih mah Israel thendoengnawk to patoeh, nihcae mah maitaw tae to lak o moe, Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to a sak o.
Then he sent out some young men of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD.
6 Mosi mah athii ahap to lak moe, boengloeng pongah suek; athii ahap lak moe, hmaicam nuiah a haeh.
Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.
7 Anih mah lokmaihaih cabu to lak pacoengah, kaminawk hanah kroek pae; kaminawk mah Angraeng mah thuih ih loknawk to ka sak o boih moe, lok ka tahngai o han, tiah a naa o.
Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”
8 To pacoengah Mosi mah athii to lak moe, kaminawk nuiah haeh pacoengah, Khenah, hae ih loknawk baktih toengah, hae loe Angraeng mah nangcae hoi sak ih lokmaihaih athii ah oh, tiah a naa.
So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”
9 Mosi, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu hoi Israel kacoehta qui sarihtonawk loe caeh o tahang moe,
Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
10 Israel Sithaw to a hnuk o; a khok atlim bangah loe sapphire thlung kanglung hoi baih het ih hmuen baktiah oh moe, kacai pin van baktiah amdueng.
and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.
11 Toe Sithaw loe Israel kacoehtanawk bangah ban payangh ai; nihcae mah Sithaw to hnuk o, a caak o moe, naek o.
But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.
12 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Kai khaeah mae ah angzo tahang ah loe, haeah om ah; kaminawk to na patuk hanah, thlung kangphaek nuiah ka tarik ih, lokpaekhaih hoi kaalok to kang paek han, tiah a naa.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
13 To pacoengah Mosi loe anih bomkung Joshua hoi nawnto amsak hoi; Mosi loe Sithaw ih mae ah dawh tahang.
So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God.
14 Anih mah kacoehtanawk khaeah, Nangcae khae kang zo hoi let ai karoek to haeah na zing oh; khenah, Aaron hoi Hur loe nangcae hoi nawnto oh; lokthuih han tawn kami loe nihnik khaeah caeh oh, tiah a naa.
And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute can go to them.”
15 Mosi mae ah caeh tahang naah, mae loe tamai mah khuk khoep.
When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,
16 Angraeng lensawkhaih loe Sinai mae ah oh; ni tarukto thung tamai mah mae to khuk khoep; ni sarihto naah loe Angraeng mah Mosi to tamai thung hoiah kawk.
and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud.
17 Angraeng lensawkhaih loe, Israel kaminawk mikhnuk ah mae nuiah kangqong hmai baktiah aang.
And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites.
18 Mosi loe tamai thungah caeh moe, mae nui a phak pacoengah, to ah ni qui palito hoi qum qui palito oh.
Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
