Sunglatnah 19
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 people of Israel had gone out from the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came to 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.
After they left Rephidim and came to the wilderness of Sinai, they camped in the wilderness in front of 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. Yahweh called to him from the mountain and said, “You must tell the house of Jacob, the people 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, how I carried 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 then, if you obediently listen to my voice and keep my covenant, then you will be my special 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.
You will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation for me. These are the words that you must speak to the people 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.
So Moses came and summoned the elders of the people. He set before them all these words that Yahweh had 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, “We will do everything that Yahweh has said.” Then Moses came to report the people's words to Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “I will come to you in a thick cloud so that the people may hear when I speak with you and may also believe you forever.” Then Moses told the people's words to Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people. Today and tomorrow you must set them apart to me, and make 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.
Be ready for the third day, for on the third day Yahweh will come down to 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 must set boundaries all around the mountain for the people. Say to them, 'Be careful that you do not go up the mountain or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain will surely be 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 one's hand must touch such a person. Instead, he must certainly be stoned or shot. Whether it is a person or an animal, he must be put to death. When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they may come up to the foot of the mountain.”
14 Te dongah Moses te tlang lamloh pilnam taengla suntla tih pilnam te a ciim phoeiah a himbai te a til uh.
Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people. He set apart the people to Yahweh and they washed their garments.
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 on the third day; do not go near your wives.”
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.
On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunder and lightning bolts and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very loud trumpet. All the people in the camp trembled.
17 Pathen doe ham Moses loh pilnam te rhaehhmuen lamkah a khuen tih tlang yung ah pai uh.
Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot 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.
Mount Sinai was completely covered with smoke because Yahweh descended on it in fire and smoke. The smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.
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 in 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.
Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and he summoned Moses to the top. So 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to me to look, or many of them will 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 me set themselves apart—prepare themselves for my coming—so that I do not attack 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 Yahweh, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you commanded us: 'Set boundaries around the mountain and set it apart to Yahweh.'”
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.
Yahweh said to him, “Go, get down the mountain, and bring up Aaron with you, but do not let the priests and the people break through the barrier to come up to me, or I will attack them.”
25 Moses te pilnam taengla suntla tangloeng tih amih te a thui pah.
So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
