Kâboutpoenae 10
1 Hat navah, Cathut ni ahmaloe e talung kahni touh e patetlah talung kahni touh bout bo e, kai ka onae koe takhang loe, thingkong hai sak loe.
“Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this mountain.
2 Na raphei e hmaloe e talung dawk thut e lawk patetlah apâhni e talung dawk bout ka thut han rak, hote talung teh thingkong thung na hruek han ati.
I will write on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’
3 Kai ni Anri thing e thingkong ka sak teh ahmaloe e talung patetlah talung kahni touh ka bo teh, hote talung ka sin teh mon lah ka luen.
“So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.
4 Na kamkhueng awh hnin vah, BAWIPA ni mon vah hmai thung hoi a dei e kâpoelawk 10 touh hah, ahmaloe e ca thut e patetlah BAWIPA ni a thut teh kai hah na poe.
There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,
5 Ka kamlang teh mon hoi ka kum. Ka sak tangcoung e thingkong thung hote lungphen ka hruet teh, BAWIPA ni dei e patetlah hote thingkong thung vah atu ao.
and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”
6 Mon dawkvah yampa ka onae tueng patetlah hnin 40 rum 40 touh bout ka o teh, hat nahai BAWIPA ni nangmouh raphoe hoeh nahan kaie ka lawk hah a thai.
(Then, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.
7 BAWIPA ni, thaw haw, hete miphunnaw koe poe hanelah, na mintoenaw koe lawkkamnae ram koe lah a cei awh vaiteh, a lawp awh nahan ahnimae hmalah cet telah ati.
From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.
8 Isarelnaw teh Moserah hmuen koehoi a cei awh teh, Bennejaakan hmuen dawk a roe awh.
At that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.
9 Hote hmuen koehoi a kamthaw awh teh, Horakeikat hmuen koe a roe awh. Hote hmuen koehoi bout a kamthaw awh teh, sawkca tui apapnae koe Jotbathah hmuen koe a roe awh. Haw hoi bout a cei awh teh, Eziongeber hmuen koe a roe awh. Hote hmuen koehoi a cei awh teh, Zinahtokadesh hmuen koe a roe awh. Hote hmuen koehoi bout a cei awh teh, Moserah mon dawk a roe awh. Hote hmuen koe Aron a due teh a pakawp awh. A capa Eleazar ni a na pa yueng lah a tawk.
That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)
10 Levih miphunnaw teh Cathut lawkkam thingkong a hrawm sak hanelah thoseh, a hmalah kangdue vaiteh a thaw tawk sak hanelah thoseh, a kâtawnnae hoi yawhawinae poe sak hanlah thoseh, sahnin totouh ahnimae lah ao.
“I stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.
11 Hatdawkvah, Levih miphunnaw teh a hmaunawnghanaw hoi ham reirei coe awh mahoeh. Râw hah coe awh mahoeh. Na BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk na kam pouh e patetlah BAWIPA teh a coe awh hane râw la doeh ao.
Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”
12 Oe Isarel, BAWIPA na Cathut taket haw, a lamthung dawnnae, na BAWIPA Cathut hah na lungthin abuemlahoi, na hringnae abuem lahoi lungpataw nateh a thaw tawknae,
“Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],
13 na hawi nahanlah sahnin ka dei e BAWIPA e phunglawk tarawinae hoeh laipalah teh na BAWIPA ni bang thaw mouh a hei va.
and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
14 Kalvan hoi kalvannaw hai thoseh, talai hoi talai hno pueng hai thoseh, na BAWIPA ni a tawn e doeh.
“Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.
15 Hatnavah, na BAWIPA ni na mintoenaw hah a lungpataw teh, sahnin e patetlah ahnimouh miphun lah kaawm e nang hah alouke miphunnaw hlak na rawi e lah ao.
But [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.
16 Hatdawkvah, na lungthin vuensoma haw. Na lung bout patak sak hanh.
So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
17 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na Cathut teh cathutnaw e Cathut, bawipanaw e BAWIPA, kalenpounge Cathut, a thakaawmpounge, taki ka tho e, tami minhmai khen hoeh, tadawnghno hai cat hoeh.
Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept bribes.
18 Lahmainu hoi naranaw lawk a ceng teh, imyin a lungpataw teh ca hane hoi khohna hane ka poe e BAWIPA doeh.
He makes sure that orphans and widows are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.
19 Hatdawkvah, imyinnaw hah lungpataw awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh Izip ram lah Imyin lah ouk na o boi awh toe.
So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.
20 Nangmae BAWIPA hah na taki awh vaiteh, a thaw na tawk awh han. BAWIPA koe na kâhnai awh han, a min lahoi lawkkamnae sak awh hanh.
Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.
21 BAWIPA teh na lentoenae na Cathut doeh. Nang ni na mit hoi na hmu e patetlah takikathopounge naw hah ka sak e lah ao toe.
He is the one whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.
22 Na mintoenaw teh, Izip ram lah a ceicathuk awh navah, tami 70 duengdoeh ka phat, atuteh kalvan Âsi patetlah Cathut ni apap sak toe.
When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”
