1 BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Namah loh lamhma kah bangla lungto cabael panit saek lamtahte cabael dongah lamhma kah aka rhek cabael dongah aka om ol te ka daek eh.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Cut two slabs of stone that will be like the first slabs, the ones that you broke. Then I will engrave on them the words that were on the first slabs.
2 Mincang ah sikim la om lamtah mincang neh Sinai tlang la ha luei. Te phoeiah tlang lu ah kamah taengla pahoi pai.
Get ready tomorrow morning, and come up to the top of Sinai Mountain again to talk with me there.
3 Tedae na taengah hlang ha luei boel saeh lamtah hlang pakhat pataeng tlang tom ah phoe boel saeh. Boiva neh saelhung khaw tlang dan ah he luem uh boel saeh,” a ti nah.
Do not allow anyone to come up with you. I do not want anyone [else] to be anywhere on the mountain. Do not allow any sheep or cattle to graze (at the base of/near) the mountain.”
4 Te dongah lungto cabael rhoite lamhma kah bangla a saek. Mincang ah Moseste thoo tih BOEIPA loh amah a uen bangla Sinai tlang ah yoeng. Te vaengah lungto cabael rhoite a kut dongah a pom.
So Moses/I cut two slabs of stone that were like the first ones. He/I arose early the next morning. He/I took the slabs and carried them in his/my hands up to the top of Sinai Mountain, as Yahweh had commanded.
5 Te phoeiah BOEIPAte cingmai neh ha rhum tih a taengah pahoi pai. Te vaengah BOEIPA ming neh a doek.
Then Yahweh descended in the [tall] cloud and stood with Moses/me there. He proclaimed that it was he, Yahweh, [who was going to speak to Moses/me].
6 BOEIPAte a hmai ah a pah pah vaengah tah, “Yahweh, Yahweh, thinphoei neh lungvatnah Pathen, thintoek a ueh tih sitlohnah neh oltak dongah boeiping coeng.
Then Yahweh passed in front of him/me and proclaimed, “I am Yahweh God. I always act mercifully and kindly [toward people]. I do not get angry quickly. I [truly] love [people] and I do what I promise to do for them, without changing.
7 Sitlohnah he thawngkhat ham khaw a kueinah dongathaesainah, boekoeknah neh dumlai khaw a phueih pah. Tedae pa rhoek kathaesainah a cawh pah te carhoek so neh ca kah carhoek soah khongthum khongli hil a hmil rhoe a hmil moenih,” tila tamhoe.
I love people for thousands of generations. I forgive people for all kinds of sins [TRI]. But I will certainly punish [LIT] those who are guilty. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).”
8 Te vaengah Moses tah diklai la koe buluk tih bakop.
Moses/I quickly prostrated himself/myself on the ground and worshiped [Yahweh].
9 Tedae Moses loh, “Ka Boeipa aw na mik dongah mikdaithen la ka tueng mai khaming. Ka Boeipa kaimih khui ah pongpa laeh. Pilnam he a rhawn mangkhak sitoe cakhaw kaimih kathaesainah neh kaimih kah tholhnah te khodawkngai lamtah kaimih he m'pang mai,” a ti nah.
He/I said, “Yahweh, if you are now pleased with me, I ask that you go with us. These people are very stubborn [IDM], but forgive us for all our sins [DOU], and accept us to be people who belong to you [forever].”
10 Boeipa loh, “Kai loh na pilnam pum hmaiah paipi ka saii ne. Diklai pum neh namtom boeih taengah a suen pawh khobaerhambae te ka saii ni. Te vaengah a khui kah na pilnam boeih loh BOEIPA kah khoboe te hmuh saeh. Nang taengah ka saii te rhih pai saeh.
Yahweh replied, “Note this: I am going to make a solemn agreement [with the Israeli people]. As they are watching, I will perform great miracles. They will be miracles that no one has ever done on the earth in any nation. All the people who are near you will see the great things that I, Yahweh, will do. I will do awesome things for you [all].
11 Tihninah nang kang uen te namah ham ngaithuen. Na mikhmuh lamloh, Amori neh Kanaan khaw, Khitti neh Perizzi khaw, Khivee neh Jebusi ka haek ne.
[Each Israeli] person must obey what I am commanding you this day. Do not forget that [if you obey me], I will expel the Amor, Canaan, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups [from the land]. But be careful that you do not make any [peace] agreements with any of the people who live in the land into which you are going, because if you do that, [you will begin to do the evil things that they do]. It will be [like] falling into a trap.
12 Namah khaw ngaithuen, khohmuen khosarhoek neh paipina saii ve ne. Namah khaw a khuilana kun vetih namah khui ah hlaeh la poeh ve.
13 A hmueihtuk te palet pah lamtah a kaam te phaek pah. Anih kah Asherah khaw vung pah.
You must tear down their altars, destroy their sacred pillars, and cut down [the poles that they use to worship their female goddess] Asherah.
14 A ming mah thatlai Yahweh coeng tih Pathen tah a thatlai thai dongah pathen tloe taengah bakop boeh.
You must worship only me, [and] not worship any other god, because I, Yahweh, cannot endure any rivals.
15 A pathen taengkah a cukhalh neh a pathen te a nawn uh dongah a hmueih te caak ham nang n'khue akhaw khohmuen kah khosa taengah moina bop ve.
Do not make peace agreements with [any group] that lives in that land. When they worship their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they invite you to join them, do not join them. If [you join them], you will eat the food that they sacrifice to their gods, and [you will not be faithful to me. You will be like people who] commit adultery, [who are not being faithful to their spouses] [MET].
16 A canu te na capa hamna lo cakhaw a canu khaw a pathen hnukah cukhalh uh. Te dongah na carhoek te amih kah pathen taengah cukhalh hae ni.
If you take some of their women to be wives for your sons, and these women worship their own gods, they will persuade your sons also to worship their gods.
17 Mueihlawn pathen khaw namah ham saii boeh.
Do not pour melted metal into molds to make statues for you to worship.
18 Nang kang uen bangla vaidamding khotuete hnin rhih yaeh lamtah vaidamding mah ca. Egypt lamloh Abib hla dongahna thoh dongah Abib hlaah tingtunnah om saeh.
[Each year], during the month [of/named] Abib, celebrate the Festival of Eating Bread Made Without Yeast. [During that festival], for seven days you must not eat bread made with yeast, as I commanded you, because it was in that month that you left Egypt.
19 Bung lamkah cacuek boeih, na boiva dongkah vaito neh tu cacuek a tal boeih he kamah kah ni.
Your firstborn sons and the firstborn [male] animals of your cattle and sheep [and goats] belong to me.
20 Tedae laak cacuek tah tu neh lat. Na lat pawt bal atah pahoi at laeh. Na capa caming boeih tah lat lamtah ka mikhmuhah kuttling la phoe boel saeh.
The firstborn of your [male] donkeys [also belong to me]. But you may buy them back by [offering to me] lambs [in their place]. If you do not do that, you must [kill these animals by] breaking their necks. You must also buy back your firstborn sons. You must bring an offering to me [LIT] each time you come to [worship] me.
21 Hnin rhuk khuiah thotat lamtah hnin rhih dongah tah lophoh vaengah khaw duem lamtah cangah vaengah khaw nduem.
[Each week] you may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. [Even] during the times when you plow [the ground] and harvest [your crops], you must rest [on the seventh day].
22 Cang dongkah cangah vaengkah thaihcuek khotue yalh neh kum thoknah cangyom khotuete namah ham saii.
[Each year] celebrate the Harvest Festival, when you begin to harvest the first crop of wheat, and also celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, when you finish harvesting [the grain and fruit].
23 Namah khuikah tongpaca boeih tah kum khat ah voei thum Israel Pathen, Boeipa Yahovah mikhmuhah phoe saeh.
Three times each year all the men must come to worship me, Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.

I will expel the people-groups that live in the land [where you will be], and I will cause your territory to become very large. As a result, no group will try to conquer your country if you come to worship me each year during those three festivals.
25 Kai kah hmueih thiite tolrhu neh ngawn boeh. Yoom khotue kah hmueih loh mincang duela rhaeh boel saeh.
When you sacrifice an animal [MTY] to me, do not offer with it bread that is made with yeast. And during the Passover Festival, when you sacrifice lambs, do not keep any of the meat until the next morning.
26 Na khohmuen kah tanglue thaihcuek te BOEIPA na Pathen im la khuen. Maae ca te a manu suktui neh thong boeh,” a ti nah.
I am Yahweh God. You must bring to my Sacred Tent the first part of the grain that you harvest each year. When you kill a young animal/kid [either a lamb or a calf], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
27 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “He ol he namah ham daek laeh. Kamah ka dongkah ol nen he nang taeng neh Israel taengah paipi ka saii,” a ti nah.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Write down the words that I have told you. By giving you these commands, I have made a solemn agreement with you and with the [other] Israeli people.”
28 BOEIPA neh a om vaengah khothaih hni sawmli, khoyin hnin sawmli buh khaw ca pawh, tui khaw o pawh. Te vaengah paipi ol te cabael rhoi dongah ol lung rha la a daek.
Moses/I was there [on the top of the mountain] with Yahweh for 40 days and nights. During that time he/I did not eat or drink anything [SYN]. He/I engraved on the stone slabs the words of the Ten Commandments, [which were part of Yahweh’s] solemn agreement.
29 Moseste Sinai tlang lamloh a suntlak vaengah Moses kut dongah olphong cabael rhoi khaw om. Tlang lamloh a suntlak neh amah te a voek pueng dongah a maelhmai vin a phii te khaw Moses loh ming pawh.
When Moses/I came back down the mountain, carrying in his/my hand the two stone slabs on which were written the Ten Commandments, his/my face was shining because he/I had been talking with Yahweh, but he/I did not know that his/my face was shining.
30 Aaron neh Israel ca boeih loh Moses te a hmuh uh vaengah a maelhmai vin tarha a phii coeng dongah a taengla mop ham a rhih uh.
When Aaron and the [other] Israeli people saw Moses/me, they were amazed/surprised that his/my face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him/me.
31 Tedae Moses loh amih te a khue dongah Aaron neh rhaengpuei kah khoboei boeih tah anih taengla mael uh tih Moses loh amih te a voek.
But Moses/I called to them. Then Aaron and the other Israeli leaders came to him/me, and he/I talked with them.
32 Te phoeiah Israel carhoek boeihte mop uh. Te vaengah Sinai tlang ah BOEIPA anih taengkah a thui boeih te amih a uen.
Afterwards, all the other Israeli people came near, and he/I told them all the laws that Yahweh had given to him/me on Sinai Mountain.
33 Moses loh amih taengah a thui te a khah van neh a maelhmai te a lumuekhni neh a dah.
When Moses/I finished talking to the people, he/I put a veil over his/my face.
34 Tedae BOEIPA amah te voek ham a mikhmuh la kuntih amah ha pawk daengah lumuekhni a lim pueng. Ha pawk phoeiah tah amah a uen te Israel carhoek ham a thui pah.
But whenever Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent to talk with Yahweh, he/I removed the veil. When he/I came back out, he/I would always tell to the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me [to tell them].
35 Israel ca rhoek loh Moses maelhmai te a hmuh vaengah Moses kah maelhmai vin a phii pah. Tedae Boeipa amah te voek ham a kun hil Moses loh lumuekhni neh a maelhmai te a dah.
The Israeli people would see that Moses’/my face was [still] shining. Then he/I would put the veil back on his/my face again until the next time that he/I went into [the Sacred Tent] to talk with Yahweh.
