Exodus 19
1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they [into] the wilderness of Sinai.
Israel ca rhoek Egypt kho lamloh a nong phoeikah, hla thum dongah a om khohnin ah, Sinai khosoek la pawk uh.
2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come [to] the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
Te phoeiah Rephidim lamloh hlah uh tih Sinai khosoek la pawk uh. Khosoek kah a rhaeh uh vaengah Israel tah tlang dan ah pahoi rhaeh.
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
Te vaengah Moses tah Pathen taengla cet. Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih te tlang lamloh a khue tih, “He he Jakob imkhui te thui pah lamtah Israel ca taengah puen pah.
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
Egypt taengah ka saii te na hmuh uh coeng. Nangmih te atha phae dongah kam phueih tih kamah taengla nangmih kang khuen.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine:
Te dongah ka ol he na ngai rhoe na ngai tih, ka paipi na tuem atah pilnam cungkuem khui lamloh kamah taengah lungthen la na om uh ni. Diklai pum khaw kamah kah ni.
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Te phoeiah nangmih te kamah taengah khosoih ram neh hlangcim namtu la na om uh ni. He ol he Israel ca taengah thui pah,” a ti nah.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
Te phoeiah Moses te mael tih pilnam kah a hamca rhoek te a khue. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh amah ol a uen boeih te amih mikhmuh ah a phoe pah.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
Te vaengah pilnam pum loh huek a doo tih, “BOEIPA kah a thui te boeih ka saii uh ni,” a ti uh. Te dongah Moses loh pilnam kah ol te BOEIPA taengla a mael puei.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Kai tah nangmih taengah cingmai khomai neh ka pawk coeng he. He kong nen ni kai neh nang m'voek uh vaengah pilnam loh a yaak eh. Te vaengah nang soah khaw kumhal duela n'tangnah uh bitni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Moses loh pilnam kah ol te BOEIPA taengla a puen pah.
10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam taengah cet laeh, tihnin neh thangvuen ah amih te ciim lamtah a himbai te til uh saeh.
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
A thum khohnin ah tah sikim la om uh saeh. A thum hnin ah BOEIPA tah pilnam pum kah mikhmuh ah Sinai tlang la ha rhum ni.
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
Pilnam te a kaepvai ah rhi suem pah lamtah, ‘Nangmih te tlang la luei neh a rhi te ben ham khaw ngaithuen uh, tlang aka ben boeih tah duek rhoe duek ni.
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether [it be] beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
A soah kut loh taek boel saeh. Tedae dae la dae saeh lamtah kap khaw kap saeh. Jubilee la a sol vaengah tlang la aka cet te tah rhamsa khaw hlang khaw hing boel saeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
Te dongah Moses te tlang lamloh pilnam taengla suntla tih pilnam te a ciim phoeiah a himbai te a til uh.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at [your] wives.
Te vaengah pilnam te, “A thum hnin ah sikim la om uh lamtah huta taengla mop uh boeh,” a ti nah.
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp trembled.
A thum hnin kah mincang a pha tangloeng vaengah rhaek ol neh cingmai a thah loh tlang soah om. Te vaengah tuki ol te bahoeng tlungluen tih rhaehhmuen kah pilnam khaw boeih lakueng.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
Pathen doe ham Moses loh pilnam te rhaehhmuen lamkah a khuen tih tlang yung ah pai uh.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
BOEIPA te hmai neh a rhum dongah Sinai tlang khaw a pum la khuu. A hmaikhu te hmailing hmaikhu bangla luei tih tlang khaw a pum la muep lakueng.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
Tuki ol khaw ha thoeih tih bahoeng len. Moses loh a voek vaengah Pathen loh a ol neh a doo.
20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses [up] to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
Te vaengah BOEIPA tah Sinai tlang kah tlang soi la ha rhum. Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te tlang soi la a khue tih Moses khaw cet hang.
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Suntla lamtah pilnam te rhalrhing sak, BOEIPA hmuh ham koengloeng uh vetih amih te cungku uh khungdaeng ve.
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
Khosoih rhoek pataeng khaw BOEIPA taengla aka mop rhoek tah ciim uh saeh. Amih taengah BOEIPA pung ve,” a ti nah.
23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
Te phoeiah Moses loh BOEIPA taengah, “Namah loh kai he nan rhalrhing sak tih, ‘Tlang te suem lamtah ciim laeh,’ na ti coeng dongah Sinai tlang la pilnam a yoeng ham a coeng moenih,” a ti nah.
24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh amah te, “Cet laeh, suntla lamtah namah khaw Aaron khaw namah neh ha puei uh. Tedae khosoih rhoek neh pilnam tah BOEIPA taengla caeh ham koengloeng uh boel saeh. Amih taengah pung ve,” a ti nah.
25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
Moses te pilnam taengla suntla tangloeng tih amih te a thui pah.
