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.

He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from 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.

And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend 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.

Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”

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.

Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to 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.

And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves 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.

And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over 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.

And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “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.

In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”

9 Hat navah, Mosi, Aron, Nadab, Abihu hoi Isarel kacue 70 touh a luen awh teh,

And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.

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. And under his feet was something like a work of sapphire stone, or like the sky, when it is serene.

11 Isarel kahrawikungnaw koe a kut phat sak hoeh. Ahnimouh ni Cathut a hmu awh eiteh, a canei awh.

Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, 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: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”

13 Mosi ni kabawmkung Joshua hoi a thaw teh Cathut e mon dawk a luen roi.

Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending 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.

said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”

15 Mosi ni mon vah a luen teh tâmai ni mon teh muen a kayo.

And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.

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 dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud for six days. And on the seventh day, he called to him from the middle of the mist.

17 BAWIPA e bawilennae teh monsom vah hmai ka kang e patetlah kamnuek e Isarelnaw ni a hmu awh.

Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire over the summit of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel.

18 Mosi teh tâmai thung a kâen teh mon a pha. A hnin 40 touh thung mon vah ao.

And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.
