Exodus 24
1 The Lord told Moses, “Come up to the Lord—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders. You are to worship at a distance.
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.
2 Only Moses may approach the Lord—the others must not come near. The people may not go up the mountain with him.”
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.
3 Moses went and told the people all the Lord's instructions and regulations. They all responded together: “We will do everything the Lord says!”
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.
4 Moses wrote down everything the Lord had said. He got up early the following morning and built an altar at the bottom of the mountain, and set up twelve pillars for each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
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.
5 Then he sent out some young Israelite men who went and offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the Lord.
Isarel thoundounnaw a patoun e patetlah ahnimouh ni maitonaw a thokhai awh teh BAWIPA hmalah hmaisawinae sathei, roumnae sathei hah a thueng awh.
6 Moses put half of the blood into bowls, and sprinkled the other half on the altar.
Mosi ni a thi tangawn hah kawlung dawk a hlun hnukkhu, atangawn e hah khoungroe van vah a kathek.
7 Then he picked up the Book of the Agreement and read it to the people. They replied, “We will do everything the Lord says. We will obey.”
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.
8 So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the agreement that the Lord has made with you following these terms.”
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.
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders climbed up the mountain,
Hat navah, Mosi, Aron, Nadab, Abihu hoi Isarel kacue 70 touh a luen awh teh,
10 and they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a tiled pavement made of lapis lazuli, as clear blue as the sky itself.
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.
11 But God did not harm the leaders of Israel—they saw him, and they ate and drank a sacred meal.
Isarel kahrawikungnaw koe a kut phat sak hoeh. Ahnimouh ni Cathut a hmu awh eiteh, a canei awh.
12 Then the Lord told Moses, “Come up the mountain to me, and stay here, so I can give you the stone tablets, with the instructions and commands I have written for them to learn.”
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.
13 So Moses left with Joshua his attendant and climbed up the mountain of God.
Mosi ni kabawmkung Joshua hoi a thaw teh Cathut e mon dawk a luen roi.
14 He told the elders, “Stay here and wait for us to return. Aaron and Hur are with you. If anyone has a problem, they can talk with them.”
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.
15 As Moses climbed up on the mountain, the cloud covered it
Mosi ni mon vah a luen teh tâmai ni mon teh muen a kayo.
16 The Lord's glory came down on Mount Sinai, covering it for six days. On the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from inside the cloud.
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.
17 To the Israelites the Lord's glory looked like a burning fire on the top of the mountain.
BAWIPA e bawilennae teh monsom vah hmai ka kang e patetlah kamnuek e Isarelnaw ni a hmu awh.
18 Moses went into the cloud as he climbed up on the mountain, and he stayed on the mountain for forty days and nights.
Mosi teh tâmai thung a kâen teh mon a pha. A hnin 40 touh thung mon vah ao.
