Exodus 19
1 In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai,
Israel kaminawk Izip prae thung hoi tacawt o pacoeng, khrah thumto naah, Sinai praezaek to phak o.
2 and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encamps there before the mountain.
Israel kaminawk loe Rephidim hoi amsak o moe, Sinai praezaek phak o pacoengah, mae hmaa ah atai o.
3 And Moses has gone up to God, and YHWH calls to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel:
Mosi mah Sithaw khae caeh tahang naah, Angraeng angmah khaeah angzoh hanah mae nui hoiah a kawk moe, Jakob imthung takoh hoi Israel kaminawk khaeah hae tiah a thui paeh;
4 You have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and [how] I carry you on eagles’ wings and bring you to Myself.
Izip kaminawk khaeah ka sak ih hmuen na hnuk o boeh; kawbang maw tahmu ih pakhraeh pongah kang hnut o sak moe, kaimah khaeah kang hoih o, tito na panoek o boeh.
5 And now, if you really listen to My voice, then you have kept My covenant, and have been a special treasure to Me more than all the peoples, for all the earth [is] Mine;
To pongah vaihi ka lok hae na tahngaih o moe, ka lokkamhaih na aek o ai nahaeloe, nangcae loe kaminawk boih salakah kai ih qawk ah na om o tih; long pum loe kai ih ni;
6 and you are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these [are] the words which you speak to the sons of Israel.”
nangcae loe kai han kaciim acaeng hoi siangpahrang ukhaih prae ah kai ih qaima ah na om o tih, tiah a thuih pae. Hae loknawk hae Israel kaminawk khaeah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
7 And Moses comes, and calls for [the] elderly of the people, and sets before them all these words which YHWH has commanded him;
To pongah Mosi loe amlaem let moe, Israel kacoehtanawk to kawk pacoengah, Angraeng mah anih khaeah thuih ih loknawk to nihcae hmaa ah thuih pae boih.
8 and all the people answer together and say, “All that YHWH has spoken we do”; and Moses returns the words of the people to YHWH.
Kaminawk mah, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok to ka sak o boih han, tiah nawnto a thuih o. Nihcae ih lok to Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah tathlangh pae let.
9 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with you, and also believe in you for all time”; and Moses declares the words of the people to YHWH.
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Khenah, nang hoi thuih ih lok kaminawk mah thaih o moe, nang to dungzan khoek to tang o thai hanah, tamai thung hoi nang khaeah kang zoh han, tiah a naa. Kaminawk mah thuih ih loknawk to Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah tathlangh pae.
10 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to the people and you have sanctified them today and tomorrow, and they have washed their garments,
To pacoengah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Kaminawk khaeah caeh ah loe, nihcae to vaihni hoi khawnbang ah ciimcaisak ah; angmacae ih khukbuennawk to pasuk o nasoe loe,
11 and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day YHWH comes down on Mount Sinai before the eyes of all the people.
ni thumto naah om o coek nasoe; ni thumto naah loe kaminawk boih hmaa ah, Sinai mae nuiah Angraeng to anghum tathuk tih.
12 And you have made a border [for] the people all around, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mountain or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mountain is certainly put to death;
Kaminawk mah mae sang to poeng o han ai ah sah paeh, mae sang nuiah daw o hmah, mae sang amtonghaih long doeh sui o hmah; mae sang to ban hoi sui kami loe paduek tangtang ah om tih.
13 a hand does not come against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man—it does not live; in the prolonging of the ram’s horn they go up into the mountain.”
Anih to ban hoi sui hmah, sui kami loe thlung hoi vah maat ai boeh loe, palaa hoi kah maat han oh; kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe moi maw hing o sak hmah, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh; atue kasawk ah mongkah ueng pacoengah ni, kaminawk to mae nuiah daw o vop tih, tiah a naa.
14 And Moses comes down from the mountain to the people, and sanctifies the people, and they wash their garments;
Mosi mae nui hoi kaminawk khaeah anghum tathuk pacoengah, kaminawk to amprik caisak; nihcae mah khukbuennawk to pasuk o.
15 and he says to the people, “Be prepared for the third day, do not come near to a woman.”
To pacoengah kaminawk khaeah, Ni thumto hanah amsak o coek ah, na zunawk khaeah iip o hmah, tiah a naa.
16 And it comes to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very strong horn; and all the people who [are] in the camp tremble.
Ni thumto akhawnbang ah loe, khopazih hoi tangphra to puek moe, kathah parai tamai mah mae to khuk khoep, mongkah lok loe tuen parai pongah, ataihaih im ah kaom kaminawk to tasoeh o boih.
17 And Moses brings out the people from the camp to meet God, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mountain,
To naah Mosi mah Sithaw tongh hanah, kaminawk to ataihaih im hoiah caeh haih, nihcae loe mae tlim ah angdoet o.
18 and Mount Sinai [is] wholly [in] smoke from the presence of YHWH, who has come down on it in fire, and its smoke goes up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mountain trembles exceedingly;
To naah Angraeng loe hmai thung hoiah angzoh pongah, Sinai mae to hmaikhue mah ayaw hmoek; takoeng hoi tacawt hmaikhue baktih toengah, mae to anghuenh boih.
19 and the sound of the horn is going on, and [is] very strong; Moses speaks, and God answers him with a voice.
Mongkah to kasawkah ueng naah, lok to len aep aep; Mosi mah lok to thuih, to naah Sithaw mah lok hoiah pathim pae.
20 And YHWH comes down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and YHWH calls for Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses goes up.
Angraeng loe Sinai mae nuiah anghum tathuk moe, Mosi to mae nuiah kawk; to pongah Mosi loe dawh tahang.
21 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through to YHWH to see, and many of them have fallen;
Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Kaminawk loe Angraeng khet hanah caeh o nganga moe, a duek o han ai ah, anghum tathuk ah loe kaminawk to thuitaek ah.
22 and also the priests who are coming near to YHWH sanctify themselves, lest YHWH break forth on them.”
Angraeng khaeah angzo qaima boih angmacae hoi angmacae to amprik cai o nasoe; to tih ai nahaeloe Angraeng mah nihcae to thuitaek moeng tih, tiah a naa.
23 And Moses says to YHWH, “The people [are] unable to come up to Mount Sinai, for You have protested to us, saying, Make a border [for] the mountain, then you have sanctified it.”
Mosi mah Angraeng khaeah, Kaminawk mah mae to poeng o han ai ah angzithaih ramri to sah paeh loe, amprik caisak ah, tiah na thuih pongah, kaminawk Sinai mae nuiah angzo o thai ai, tiah a naa.
24 And YHWH says to him, “Go, descend, then you have come up, you and Aaron with you; and the priests and the people do not break through to come up to YHWH, lest He break forth on them.”
Angraeng mah caeh tathuk ah loe, Aaron to angzo haih ah; toe qaimanawk hoi kaminawk loe Angraeng khaeah angzo o nganga hmah nasoe; to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae to danpaekhaih tong o moeng tih, tiah a naa.
25 And Moses goes down to the people and speaks to them.
To pongah Mosi loe kaminawk khaeah anghum tathuk moe, lok to thuih pae.
