Exodus 20
1 God spoke all these words, saying,
Pathen loh ol cungkuem he a thui tih,
2 "I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Kai na Pathen Yahweh loh nang te Egypt kho kah sal im lamloh kang khuen.
3 Do not have other gods before me.
Ka mikhmuh ah a tloe pathen te nang ham om boel saeh.
4 "Do not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Namah ham mueithuk neh vaan so lamkah khaw, diklai hman neh a dang lamkah khaw, tui khui neh a dang lamkah muei cungkuem te diklai ah saii boeh.
5 you must not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, YHWH your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and upon the children's children, on the third and on the fourth [generation] of those who hate me,
Te rhoek taengah bakop boel lamtah amih taengah thothueng boeh. Kai Yahweh, nang kah Pathen, thatlai Pathen loh kai aka hmuhuet taengah tah, pa rhoek kathaesainah te ca rhoek soah khongthum neh khongli hil ka cawh.
6 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Kai aka lungnah tih ka olpaek aka tuem taengah tah a thawng thawng la sitlohnah tueng.
7 "Do not take the name of YHWH your God in vain, for YHWH will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Na Pathen Yahweh ming te a poeyoek la muk boeh. A ming a poeyoek la aka muk te BOEIPA loh a hmil moenih.
8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Sabbath hnin te ciim hamla poek.
9 Six days you may labor, and do all your work,
Hnin rhuk thotat lamtah na bitat te boeih saii.
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to YHWH your God. You must not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;
Tedae a rhih hnin tah na BOEIPA Pathen ham Sabbath ni. Na bitat cungkuem dongah, na capa khaw, na canu khaw, na salpa khaw, na salnu khaw, na rhamsa khaw, na vongka kah yinlai khaw tueih boeh.
11 for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore YHWH blessed the seventh day, and made it holy.
BOEIPA loh vaan neh diklai, tuitunli neh a cungkuem he hnin rhuk ah a saii dae a rhih hnin ah duem. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Sabbath hnin te yoethen a paek tih a ciim.
12 "Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, that your days may be long in the land which YHWH your God gives you.
Na nu neh na pa te thangpom. Te daengah ni na Pathen Yahweh loh nang taengah m'paek diklai ah na hinglung a vang eh.
13 "Do not commit adultery.
Hlang ngawn boeh.
14 "Do not murder.
Samphaih boeh.
15 "Do not steal.
Huen boeh.
16 "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Na hui te laithae laipai neh doo boeh.
17 "Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
Na hui kah im te nai boeh. Na hui kah a yuu, a sal neh a salnu khaw, a vaito neh a laak khaw, na hui kah boeih te nai boeh,” a ti.
18 And all the people saw the thunder and the lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, and the people were afraid and trembled and kept their distance.
Te vaengah pilnam boeih loh olthang neh hmaithoi, tuki ol neh tlang kah a khuu te a hmuh uh. Pilnam loh a hmuh vaegah hinghuen uh tih a hla la pai uh.
19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die."
Te phoeiah Moses taengah, “Namah loh kaimih taengah thui lamtah ka hnatun uh bitni. Pathen loh kaimih taengah thui boel saeh, ka duek uh ve,” a ti uh.
20 Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."
Te dongah Moses loh pilnam te, “Nangmih noemcai ham Pathen ha pawk kong ah rhih uh boeh. Te kong nen ni na maelhmai ah amah hinyahnah om vetih na tholh uh pawt eh.
21 The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
Te vaengah pilnam a hla la pai tih Moses tah Pathen om nah yinnah taengla thoeih.
22 YHWH said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “He he Israel ca rhoek taengah thui pah, vaan lamloh nangmih taengah ka thui te na hmuh uh.
23 You shall most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for yourselves.
Kai neh thuidoek ham te saii uh boeh. Cakben pathen neh sui pathen khaw namamih ham saii uh boeh.
24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
Kai hamla diklai hmueihtuk saii lamtah a soah na hmueihhlutnah neh na rhoepnah khaw, na boiva neh na saelhung khaw nawn uh. Hmuen cungkuem ah ka ming ka thoelh vaengah nang taengla ka pawk vetih nang yoethen kam paek ni.
25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
Kai hamla lungto hmueihtuk na saii atah a soah lungrhaih khoeng boeh. A soah na cunghang na hnonah koinih hmueihtuk ni na poeih eh.
26 Neither shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
Ka hmueihtuk kah tangtlaeng soah yoeng boeh. A soah na yah te poelyoe boeh.
