Sunglatnah 20
1 Pathen loh ol cungkuem he a thui tih,
And God spake all these words saying: —
2 Kai na Pathen Yahweh loh nang te Egypt kho kah sal im lamloh kang khuen.
I, am Yahweh thy God, —who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: —
3 Ka mikhmuh ah a tloe pathen te nang ham om boel saeh.
Thou shalt not have other gods besides me.
4 Namah ham mueithuk neh vaan so lamkah khaw, diklai hman neh a dang lamkah khaw, tui khui neh a dang lamkah muei cungkuem te diklai ah saii boeh.
Thou shalt not make to thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, —or that is in the earth beneath, —or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
5 Te rhoek taengah bakop boel lamtah amih taengah thothueng boeh. Kai Yahweh, nang kah Pathen, thatlai Pathen loh kai aka hmuhuet taengah tah, pa rhoek kathaesainah te ca rhoek soah khongthum neh khongli hil ka cawh.
thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them—For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three [generations] and, unto four, of them that hate me;
6 Kai aka lungnah tih ka olpaek aka tuem taengah tah a thawng thawng la sitlohnah tueng.
but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], —of them who love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Na Pathen Yahweh ming te a poeyoek la muk boeh. A ming a poeyoek la aka muk te BOEIPA loh a hmil moenih.
Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.
8 Sabbath hnin te ciim hamla poek.
Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:
9 Hnin rhuk thotat lamtah na bitat te boeih saii.
Six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
10 Tedae a rhih hnin tah na BOEIPA Pathen ham Sabbath ni. Na bitat cungkuem dongah, na capa khaw, na canu khaw, na salpa khaw, na salnu khaw, na rhamsa khaw, na vongka kah yinlai khaw tueih boeh.
but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates,
11 BOEIPA loh vaan neh diklai, tuitunli neh a cungkuem he hnin rhuk ah a saii dae a rhih hnin ah duem. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Sabbath hnin te yoethen a paek tih a ciim.
For, in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, [and] the sea—and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, —for this cause, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 Na nu neh na pa te thangpom. Te daengah ni na Pathen Yahweh loh nang taengah m'paek diklai ah na hinglung a vang eh.
Honour thy father, and thy mother, —that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee.
13 Hlang ngawn boeh.
Thou shalt not commit murder.
14 Samphaih boeh.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Huen boeh.
Thou shalt not steal.
16 Na hui te laithae laipai neh doo boeh.
Thou shalt not testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
17 Na hui kah im te nai boeh. Na hui kah a yuu, a sal neh a salnu khaw, a vaito neh a laak khaw, na hui kah boeih te nai boeh,” a ti.
Thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s house, —thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s wife nor his servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy neighbour.
18 Te vaengah pilnam boeih loh olthang neh hmaithoi, tuki ol neh tlang kah a khuu te a hmuh uh. Pilnam loh a hmuh vaegah hinghuen uh tih a hla la pai uh.
And, all the people, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, —so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, and stood afar off.
19 Te phoeiah Moses taengah, “Namah loh kaimih taengah thui lamtah ka hnatun uh bitni. Pathen loh kaimih taengah thui boel saeh, ka duek uh ve,” a ti uh.
And they said unto Moses, Speak, thou, with us, and we will hear, —but let not God speak with us lest we die.
20 Te dongah Moses loh pilnam te, “Nangmih noemcai ham Pathen ha pawk kong ah rhih uh boeh. Te kong nen ni na maelhmai ah amah hinyahnah om vetih na tholh uh pawt eh.
And Moses said unto the people—Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, —and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.
21 Te vaengah pilnam a hla la pai tih Moses tah Pathen om nah yinnah taengla thoeih.
So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, where God was.
22 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “He he Israel ca rhoek taengah thui pah, vaan lamloh nangmih taengah ka thui te na hmuh uh.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, —Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.
23 Kai neh thuidoek ham te saii uh boeh. Cakben pathen neh sui pathen khaw namamih ham saii uh boeh.
Ye shall not make [aught] beside me, —neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye make to yourselves.
24 Kai hamla diklai hmueihtuk saii lamtah a soah na hmueihhlutnah neh na rhoepnah khaw, na boiva neh na saelhung khaw nawn uh. Hmuen cungkuem ah ka ming ka thoelh vaengah nang taengla ka pawk vetih nang yoethen kam paek ni.
An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and will bless thee.
25 Kai hamla lungto hmueihtuk na saii atah a soah lungrhaih khoeng boeh. A soah na cunghang na hnonah koinih hmueihtuk ni na poeih eh.
But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, —for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;
26 Ka hmueihtuk kah tangtlaeng soah yoeng boeh. A soah na yah te poelyoe boeh.
neither shalt thou go up, by steps unto mine altar, —lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
