Tâconae 24
1 Hahoi, BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, nang, Aron, Nadab, Abihu hoi Isarel kacue 70 touh hoi cungtalah, BAWIPA koe luen awh nateh ahnimouh teh ahlanae koehoi bawk awh naseh.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders—and you are to worship at a distance.
2 Nang dueng ni BAWIPA hah na hnai han. Alouknaw ni na hnai han naseh. Taminaw teh nang hoi cungtalah rei na luen mahoeh telah Mosi koe atipouh.
Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but the others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”
3 Mosi ni hai taminaw onae koe a tho teh, BAWIPA e lawknaw pueng thoseh, lawkcengnae naw pueng thoseh, a thai sak. Taminaw ni hai BAWIPA e lawk patetlah ka sak awh han telah rip bout ati awh.
When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”
4 Mosi ni BAWIPA e lawknaw pueng a thut hnukkhu, amom a thaw teh mon khok koevah khoungroe thoseh, Isarel miphun hlaikahni touh hanelah talung hlaikahni touh thoseh a ung awh.
And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Isarel thoundounnaw a patoun e patetlah ahnimouh ni maitonaw a thokhai awh teh BAWIPA hmalah hmaisawinae sathei, roumnae sathei hah a thueng awh.
Then he sent out some young men of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD.
6 Mosi ni a thi tangawn hah kawlung dawk a hlun hnukkhu, atangawn e hah khoungroe van vah a kathek.
Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.
7 Lawkkamnae ca hah a la teh tamimaya hmalah a touk hnukkhu, ahnimouh ni hai BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah kaimouh ni ka sak awh han, ka ngâi awh han telah ati awh.
Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”
8 Mosi ni thi hah a la teh taminaw e lathueng vah a kâhei teh; hete thi teh hete hnonaw dawk BAWIPA ni nangmouh koe e lawkkamnae thi lah ao telah atipouh.
So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”
9 Hat navah, Mosi, Aron, Nadab, Abihu hoi Isarel kacue 70 touh a luen awh teh,
Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
10 Isarel miphunnaw e Cathut hah a hmu awh. A khok rahim lah Sapphire talung rem e patetlah thoseh, thoungnae teh kalvan pinkâhin e patetlah thoseh a kamnue.
and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.
11 Isarel kahrawikungnaw koe a kut phat sak hoeh. Ahnimouh ni Cathut a hmu awh eiteh, a canei awh.
But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.
12 BAWIPA ni ka onae monsom vah luen nateh awm haw. Taminaw cangkhai hanelah lungphen dawk thut e kâlawknaw heh nang koe na poe han telah Mosi koe atipouh.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
13 Mosi ni kabawmkung Joshua hoi a thaw teh Cathut e mon dawk a luen roi.
So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God.
14 Kacuenaw koe kaimouh roi ka tho hoeh roukrak hete hmuen koehoi na ring awh. Aron hoi Hur teh nangmouh koe ao dawkvah rucat kâhmo e awm pawiteh ahnimouh roi koe cet naseh telah lawk a thui.
And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute can go to them.”
15 Mosi ni mon vah a luen teh tâmai ni mon teh muen a kayo.
When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,
16 BAWIPA e bawilennae teh Sinai mon vah a kâhat teh tâmai ni hnin taruk touh thung muen a kayo. Hnin sari nah, tâmai thung hoi Mosi a kaw.
and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud.
17 BAWIPA e bawilennae teh monsom vah hmai ka kang e patetlah kamnuek e Isarelnaw ni a hmu awh.
And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites.
18 Mosi teh tâmai thung a kâen teh mon a pha. A hnin 40 touh thung mon vah ao.
Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
