13 Israel chate henga seipeh tem in, nang hon keima cholngah nikho nanit teitei diu ahi, hiche cholngah nikho hi na khang lhum kei uva keima le nangho kikah a melchih na pang jing ding ahin; ajeh chu keima na Pakai uvin nangho jouse kathenso nao nahin hetjing diu ahi, ati.
“Tell the Israeli people, ‘Obey my instructions regarding the (rest days/Sabbath days). Those days will remind you [and your descendants], throughout all future generations, that I, Yahweh, have (set you apart/chosen you) to be my people.
14 Na boncha uva cholngah nikho nanit teitei diu ahi, ajeh chu cholngah nikho hi nangho dinga atheng ahin; koi hile hiche cholngah nikho'a atheng lou a kikum kha chan chu thina chang ding ahiye. Chule cholngah nikhoa na tong a aumjong le hiche mipa chu amite lah akonna paidoh a um jeng ding ahi.
You must obey [my rules about] the Sabbath days because they are holy/sacred. Those who treat those days in an irreverent way by working on those days must be executed [to show that] I no longer consider them to belong to my people.

You may work for six days [each week], but the seventh day [of each week] is a solemn day of rest, dedicated to me, Yahweh. Anyone who does any work on a day of rest is to be executed [because I no longer want them to be able to associate with my people].
16 Hijeh a chu Israel chate jousen cholngah nikho theng hi beitih neilouva nanit jing diu, cholngah nikho chu aman jing diu, bei tih nei louva anit jing jing diuva ahiye.
You Israeli people must respect the rest day, and you [and your descendants] must (celebrate it/keep it holy) throughout all future generations. [It will remind you] of the agreement that I have made with you that will last forever.
17 Ajeh chu ni gup sung chun Pakaiyin van le leiset anasem in; ni sagi lhin nin a kicholdo in ahi. hiche laitah jeh ahi nangman Israel chate jouse henga keima leh amaho kikah a melchih na apang jing ding ahi tin aheng uvah seiyin, ati.
It will remind you Israeli people and remind me [of that agreement] because I, Yahweh, created the heavens and the earth in six days, and on the seventh day I stopped doing that work and relaxed.’”
