Exodus 19
1 In the third month, by the coming forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day, came they into the desert of Sinai:
Israel ca rhoek Egypt kho lamloh a nong phoeikah hla thum dongah a om khohnin ah Sinai khosoek la pawk uh.
2 then was it that they brake up out of Rephidim and came into the desert of Sinai, and encamped in the desert, —yea Israel encamped there before the mountain.
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 when Moses, had gone up unto God, then called Yahweh unto him out of the mountain saying, Thus, shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, And tell the sons 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 upon wings of eagles, And brought you in 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, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth;
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 But, ye, shall be mine, As a kingdom of priests, And a holy nation. These, are the words, which thou shalt speak unto the sons 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 Then came Moses, and called for the elders of the people, —and put before them all these words which Yahweh had 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 responded together and said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do. And Moses took back the words of the people, unto Yahweh.
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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Lo! I, am coming unto thee in the veiling of cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak with thee, moreover also, that, in thee, they may trust to times age-abiding. Then told Moses the words of the people unto Yahweh.
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 Yahweh said unto Moses—Go unto the people, and thou shalt hallow them to-day, and to-morrow, —and they shall wash their clothes;
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam taengah cet lamtah tihnin neh thangvuen ah amih te ciim lamtah a himbai te til uh saeh.
11 and shall be ready, by the third day, —for on the third day, will Yahweh 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 mikhmuh ah Sinai tlang la ha rhum ni.
12 So then thou shalt set bounds for the people round about saying, Take heed to yourselves—that ye go not up into the mountain, nor touch the boundary thereof, whosoever toucheth the mountain, shall, surely die.
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 No hand shall touch it but he shall be, surely stoned, or be, surely shot, whether beast or man, he shall not live, —When the ram’s horn soundeth, they themselves, shall come up within 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 Then Moses went down out of the mount, unto the people, —and hallowed 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, by the third day, —do not approach a woman.
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, when the morning had come, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a heavy cloud upon the mount, and the sound of a horn, loud exceedingly, —and all the people who were 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, to meet God out of the camp, —and they stationed themselves in the lower 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, smoked, all over, because Yahweh had come down thereon in fire, —and the smoke thereof went up as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly.
BOEIPA te hmai neh a rhum dongah Sinai tlang khaw a pum la khuu. A hmaikhu te hmailing hmaikhu bangla luei tih tlang a pum la muep lakueng.
19 And as oft as the sound of the horn went on and became exceeding loud, Moses, spake and, God, responded to him with a voice.
Tuki ol khaw ha thoeih tih bahoeng len. Moses loh a voek vaengah Pathen loh a ol neh a doo.
20 Thus came Yahweh down upon Mount Sinai unto the top of the mount, —and Yahweh called Moses unto 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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go down, adjure the people, —lest they press through unto Yahweh to see, and so there fall from among them a multitude.
Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Suntla lamtah pilnam te rhalrhing sak, BOEIPA hmuh ham koengloeng uh vetih amih te cungku uh khungdaeng ve.
22 Yea, even the priests who do approach unto Yahweh, must hallow themselves, —lest Yahweh break in upon them.
Khosoih rhoek pataeng khaw BOEIPA taengla aka mop rhoek ciim uh saeh. Amih taengah BOEIPA pung ve,” a ti nah.
23 And Moses said unto Yahweh, The people cannot come up into Mount Sinai, —for, thou thyself, hast adjured us saying: Set bounds to the mountain and hallow it.
Te phoeiah Moses loh BOEIPA taengah, “Namah loh kai he na 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 Yahweh said unto him—Away, down, then shalt thou come up, thou and Aaron with thee, —but as for the priests and the people, let it not be that they press through to come up unto Yahweh lest he break in 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 said [these things] unto them.
Moses te pilnam taengla suntla tangloeng tih amih te a thui pah.
