1 Israel miten Egypt gamsung ahin dalhah kalseo lhani lhin'in Sinai mun gamthip ahung lhung atovin ahi.
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 Rephidim ngahmun ahin sukeh un ahin dalha tauvin, chuin Sinai mun'na ngahmun a kisem uvin hichu Sinai ngahmun tin aminsah uve.
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 Mose molchung lam akaltou tan Pakai toh agakimu ton ahile, Pakaiyin molchung'a kon'in ahin kouvin aseije, “Thupeh hicheng hi; Jacob insung le Israel mite heng'a seipeh tauvin:
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 mite chung'a ipiti lamdolla na katoh, nang hon na musoh kei uve. Keiman nangho muvan lai lhaving'a ka hin pui uve ti namu chenset tauvin ahi.”
'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
5 Chule tua hi kathu nangai uva kakitepna nakoi jing uva ahileh, nangho hi vannoi mite jouse lah'a keima dia atumbeh'a naum diu; ajeh chu vannoi leiset pumpi hi keima'a ahi.”
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 “Chule keima lenggam machu nangho naleng chan diu, kagam theng nalo ding'u ahi. Hiche thuhi nangman Israel mite heng'a naseipeh teiding ahi,” ati.
and you shall be to me a kingdom of cohanim, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."
7 Chuin Mose molchung akon'in akumsuh'in Israel sung'a upa ho akou khom'in Pakaiyin a thupeh chengse abonchan a seipeh soh kei uve.
Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which God commanded him.
8 Chuin amahon adonbut cheh uvin, “Ijakai Pakai thupeh bang'a keihon kabol diu ahi,” atiuve.
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 Chuin Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseijin, “Keima naheng'a meilhang kiheh bang'a kahung ding, Nangma Mose kahin houpi teng Israel miten ajah cheh diu, chuteng amahon jong nangma nahin tahsan jing diu ahitai,” ati. Mose'n jong Israel miten adonbut'na chu Pakai heng'a aseijin ahi.
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 Chuin Pakajin Mose heng'a asei in, “Kumsuh inlang keima kahung nading'in Israel mite gongtup tan, tuni le jing nikhoa din seipeh uvin chule avon jeng u-jong kisop theng cheh u-hen,” ati.
The LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
11 “Nithum lhin'nia ding'in kigontup sah soh kei uvin, nithum lhin niteng a mitmu tah uva Pakai chu Sinai Mol chung'a pat hung kumlha ding ahi tipeh'un,” ati.
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 “Mipiho abonchauvin akimvel'uva melchih'na sempeh'in lang, seijin, kichih thei un! Koima molchung lam'a kaldoh hih hel'un chule akim vellah jeng jong koiman natham khah theilou diunahi. Koi hile molchung tham khachan chu thi jeng ding ahi,” ati.
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 “Melchihna pal kallhah khut kiti phot'in atohkhah'a ahile, hichejeh'a chu; song'a selih jeng ding, ahilou jong le, thalpi'a kap lih ding gancha hihen mihem hile hitabang'a chonchu ahing'a kiumsah ngailou ding ahi, tin seipeh un. Sumkon ahung kimut gin apat mipi jong molchung lam'a hung kitol diu ahiye.”
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 Mose'n jong mipi lam chu ahin jonsuh tan. Aman mipi thenso'na anei jin, mipihon jong ama ama von cheh akisop theng uvin ahi.
Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 Aman mipi heng'a asei jin, Nithum lhin nia ding in ki gotup cheh uvin chule numei angsung ki tiajong na lut louhel ding'u ahi,” ati.
He said to the people, "Be ready by the third day. Do not have sexual relations with a woman."
16 Nithum lhin'ni jingkah khovah lam'in vahthamjol aki thing'in kolphe avah in, molchung vum chu meilhang'in atom lha jeng tan ahi. Sumkon hatah'in ahung ging tan ahile, ngahmun sung lam'a um mipi abonchauvin akicha lheh jeng tauve.
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 Mose'n jong mipi abonchan Pathen toh kimaito ding'in ahin pui uvin, chuin mipi abonchauvin molchung kipatna lam'a chun adding den gam tauve.
Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
18 Sinai molchung akon in Pakai chu meikong'in ahung kum lhan ahile, lhum sung'a kon'na meikhu bang'in ahung khudoh'in ahintomlha jeng tan, ling jong akihot lha jeng'in ahi.
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 Sumkon gin chu ahat cheh cheh jeng tan ahile, Mose jong akipat'in hiti hin aseije, van gin kithong lah akon'in Pathen'in ahin houpin ahi.
When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 Pakai chu Sinai molchung vum'a kon'in ahung kumsuh tan chuin, Molchung vum'a kon'in Pakaiyin Mose ahin kouvin ahi. Mose jong akipatdoh'in molchung lam'a chun akal touvin ahi.
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 Pakaiyin Mose heng'a asei in, “Kumsuh inlang mipi heng'a seipeh loijin, ajeh chu Pakai ahinmu nomuva pal kigen khu ahin tumlhah ngai uva ahile thigam bep ding'u ahiye,” ati.
God said to Moses, "Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to God to look, and many of them perish.
22 Chule thempu ho jeng jong atahsao amacheh kithenso uva eihin nailut thei diu bou ahi. Chutile Pakaiyin amaho lam pal chu atumkeh lou ding ahi, ati.
Let the cohanim also, who come near to God, sanctify themselves, or the LORD will break out against them."
23 Mose'n jong Pakai heng'a aseijin, ahinlah Pakai in, mipi abonchauva Sinai molchung'a hung kal theilou diu ahi. Ajeh chu nangma thupeh bang'a molchung kimvella pal gen uvin, tia nei thupeh sa'u ahiye, ati.
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 Ahinlah Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseiyin. “Chesuh inlang Aaron gakipuiyin lang hinki lhon pitan. Amavang mipi abonchauvin thupeh neijin lang khat cha jeng jong paltum keh'a Pakai lam'a hung theilou ding'u ahiye,” ati.
The LORD said to him, "Go down and you shall bring Aaron up with you, but do not let the cohanim and the people break through to come up to God, or he will break out against them."
25 Pakajin athupeh bang in Mose achesuh in mipi ho heng'a aga seipeh soh kei uve.
So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
