1 Israel ca rhoek Egypt kho lamloh a nong phoeikah hla thum dongah a om khohnin ah Sinai khosoek la pawk uh.
In the third month after the children of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 Te phoeiah Rephidim lamloh hlah uh tih Sinai khosoek la pawk uh. Khosoek kah a rhaeh uh vaengah Israel tah tlang dan ah pahoi rhaeh.
When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they camped in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mountain.
3 Te vaengah Moses tah Pathen taengla cet. Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih te tlang lamloh a khue tih, “He he Jakob imkhui te thui pah lamtah Israel ca taengah puen pah.
Moses went up to God, and God called to him out of the mountain, saying, "This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 Egypt taengah ka saii te na hmuh uh coeng. Nangmih te atha phae dongah kam phueih tih kamah taengla nangmih kang khuen.
'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
5 Te dongah ka ol he na ngai rhoe na ngai tih ka paipi na tuem atah pilnam cungkuem khui lamloh kamah taengah lungthen la na om uh ni. Diklai pum khaw kamah kah ni.
Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
6 Te phoeiah nangmih te kamah taengah khosoih ram neh hlangcim namtu la na om uh ni. He ol he Israel ca taengah thui pah,” a ti nah.
and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."
7 Te phoeiah Moses te mael tih pilnam kah a hamca rhoek te a khue. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh amah ol a uen boeih te amih mikhmuh ah a phoe pah.
Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which God commanded him.
8 Te vaengah pilnam pum loh huek a doo tih, “BOEIPA kah a thui te boeih ka saii uh ni,” a ti uh. Te dongah Moses loh pilnam kah ol te BOEIPA taengla a mael puei.
All the people answered together, and said, "All that God has spoken we will do." Moses reported the words of the people to God.
9 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Kai tah nangmih taengah cingmai khomai neh ka pawk coeng he. He kong nen ni kai neh nang m'voek uh vaengah pilnam loh a yaak eh. Te vaengah nang soah khaw kumhal duela n'tangnah uh bitni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Moses loh pilnam kah ol te BOEIPA taengla a puen pah.
The LORD said to Moses, "Look, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever." Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
10 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam taengah cet lamtah tihnin neh thangvuen ah amih te ciim lamtah a himbai te til uh saeh.
The LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
11 A thum khohnin ah tah sikim la om uh saeh. A thum hnin ah BOEIPA tah pilnam pum mikhmuh ah Sinai tlang la ha rhum ni.
and be ready against the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
12 Pilnam te a kaepvai ah rhi suem pah lamtah, “Nangmih te tlang la luei neh a rhi te ben ham khaw ngaithuen uh, tlang aka ben boeih tah duek rhoe duek ni.
You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, 'Be careful that you do not go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
13 A soah kut loh taek boel saeh. Tedae dae la dae saeh lamtah kap khaw kap saeh. Jubilee la a sol vaengah tlang la aka cet te tah rhamsa khaw hlang khaw hing boel saeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain."
14 Te dongah Moses te tlang lamloh pilnam taengla suntla tih pilnam te a ciim phoeiah a himbai te a til uh.
Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 Te vaengah pilnam te, “A thum hnin ah sikim la om uh lamtah huta taengla mop uh boeh,” a ti nah.
He said to the people, "Be ready by the third day. Do not have sexual relations with a woman."
16 A thum hnin kah mincang a pha tangloeng vaengah rhaek ol neh cingmai a thah loh tlang soah om. Te vaengah tuki ol te bahoeng tlungluen tih rhaehhmuen kah pilnam khaw boeih lakueng.
It happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17 Pathen doe ham Moses loh pilnam te rhaehhmuen lamkah a khuen tih tlang yung ah pai uh.
Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
18 BOEIPA te hmai neh a rhum dongah Sinai tlang khaw a pum la khuu. A hmaikhu te hmailing hmaikhu bangla luei tih tlang a pum la muep lakueng.
And Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because God descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
19 Tuki ol khaw ha thoeih tih bahoeng len. Moses loh a voek vaengah Pathen loh a ol neh a doo.
When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 Te vaengah BOEIPA tah Sinai tlang kah tlang soi la ha rhum. Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te tlang soi la a khue tih Moses khaw cet hang.
The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. The LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Suntla lamtah pilnam te rhalrhing sak, BOEIPA hmuh ham koengloeng uh vetih amih te cungku uh khungdaeng ve.
God said to Moses, "Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to God to look, and many of them perish.
22 Khosoih rhoek pataeng khaw BOEIPA taengla aka mop rhoek ciim uh saeh. Amih taengah BOEIPA pung ve,” a ti nah.
Let the priests also, who come near to God, sanctify themselves, or the LORD will break out against them."
23 Te phoeiah Moses loh BOEIPA taengah, “Namah loh kai he na rhalrhing sak tih, 'Tlang te suem lamtah ciim laeh,” na ti coeng dongah Sinai tlang la pilnam a yoeng ham a coeng moenih,” a ti nah.
Moses said to God, "The people can't come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, 'Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.'"
24 Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah te, “Cet laeh, suntla lamtah namah khaw Aaron khaw namah neh ha puei uh. Tedae khosoih rhoek neh pilnam tah BOEIPA taengla caeh ham koengloeng uh boel saeh. Amih taengah pung ve,” a ti nah.
The LORD said to him, "Go down and you shall bring Aaron up with you, but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to God, or he will break out against them."
25 Moses te pilnam taengla suntla tangloeng tih amih te a thui pah.
So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
