12 Hahoi BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
13 Isarelnaw koevah hettelah dei pouh, kaie sabbath hah na ya awh han, bangkongtetpawiteh na ca catounnaw totouh kai hoi nangmae rahak vah mitnoutnae lah ao. Kai teh nangmouh na kathoungsakkung Jehovah lah ka o tie hah na panuethai awh nahane doeh.
“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 Hatdawkvah, sabbath heh na ya awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot teh nangmouh hanlah kathounge lah ao. Ka ek e pueng teh thei lah ao han. Hote hnin dawk Bangpatete thaw hai ka tawk e pueng teh a miphun koehoi takhoe lah ao han.
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.
15 Hnin taruk touh thung thaw tawk awh naseh. A sari hnin teh kâhatnae sabbath, BAWIPA hanlah hnin kathoung doeh. Apihai sabbath hnin vah thaw tawk pawiteh, thei lah ao roeroe han.
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 Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw ni sabbath teh a ca catoun totouh a yungyoe lawkkam lah awm seh.
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 Kai hoi Isarelnaw rahak vah, a yungyoe mitnoutnae doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hnin taruk touh thung vah BAWIPA ni talai hoi kalvan a sak teh, asari hnin dawk a kâhat teh a thoung sak, na ti pouh han telah 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.’”
18 Hottelah Sinai mon vah koung a kâpato hnukkhu, lawkpanuesaknae lungphen kahni touh, Cathut e kutdawn hoi thut e hah Mosi koe a poe.
When Yahweh finished talking with Moses/me on the top of Sinai Mountain, he gave him/me the two stone slabs on which he had engraved his commandments with his own fingers.
