Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come to me, up [on top of this mountain], you and Aaron and [his sons] Nadab and Abihu. Also [take along] 70 of the Israeli elders/leaders. While you are still some distance [from the top of the mountain], prostrate yourselves [on the ground] and worship me.

Moses, [I will allow] you alone to come near to me. The others must not come near, and the [rest of the] people must not come up the mountain.”

Moses/I went and told the people everything that Yahweh had said and all that he had commanded. The people all replied together, saying, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us [to do].”

Then Moses/I wrote down everything that Yahweh had commanded. Early the next morning Moses/I built a [stone] altar. He/I also set up twelve stones, one for each of the Israeli tribes.

Then he/I took the scroll on which he/I had written [everything that Yahweh had commanded in] the agreement that he had made, and he/I read it [aloud], while all the people were listening. Then all the people said, “We will do all that Yahweh has told us to do. We will obey [everything].”

Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
10 Abonchauvin Israel mite Pathen chu aga mu tauvin, Pathen keng phang noiya chun Sapphire song jeng keng lampi khat ana um in, athen dan jong van chung vum kihohsel la theng bep bep'in ana um in ahi.
and they/we saw God, the one whom the Israeli people worship. Under his feet was something like a pavement [made of expensive blue stones called] sapphires. They were as clear as the sky is [when there are no clouds].
11 Chuin Pakaiyin Israel mite chung'a chun doumah abol tapon, Pathen loupina chu nasa tah'in amu tauvin ahile, anneh jong phatah in aki sem un ane uve.
God did not harm [MTY] those Israeli elders/leaders [because of their having seen him]. They saw God, and they ate and drank together! [Then we all went back down the mountain].

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come up to me [again] on [top of this] mountain. While you are here, I will give you [two] stone slabs on which I have written all the laws [DOU] that I have given to you to instruct/teach [the people].”
13 Mose jong achetan, alhacha Joshua chu akipuije, chuin Pathen molsang chung lama chun akal tou tan ahi.
So Moses/I told the elders, “Stay here [with the other people] until we return! Do not forget that Aaron and Hur will be with you. So if anyone has a dispute [while I am gone], he can go to those two men.” Then Moses/I went with his/my servant Joshua [part of the way] up the mountain that [was dedicated to] God.
14 Mose'n jong upa ho heng'a seipeh uvin, “Kei ni naheng uva ka hung kile kit kahse lhona hiche laimun na hi nana umjing diu ahi, Aaron le Hur vang nangho toh na umkhom jing diu, nalah uva koi hile seinom nei chan Amani heng'a che a aga sei ding ahiye, ati.

Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.

The (glory/brilliant light) of Yahweh came down on the mountain and covered it for six days. On the seventh day, Yahweh called to Moses/me from the middle of the cloud.
17 Molsang chung vumma Pakai loupina ahung kilah jeng chu Israel mite jouse mitmun jong meikong in thil akah vam tabang in amu tauvin ahiye.
When the Israeli people [looked at] the top of the mountain, the glory of Yahweh was like a big fire that was burning [there].
