Exodus 20
1 Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
Chuin Pakaiyin mipi heng'a thupeh hichengse hi anei in.
2 “I am Yahweh God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
Keima na-Pakai u-leh na-Pathen chu kahi, Egypt gamsung'a nasoh chan nauva konna nalhatdoh pau chu keima kahi,” ati.
3 [So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
“Keima tailou Pathen dang nanei louhel diu ahi.”
4 You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or that is on the ground or that is in the water under the ground/earth.
“Nang hon vannoi leiset hihen twikhanglen'a um thil hijong leh alim na semthu uva pathen lim'a naman theilou ding'u ahi.”
5 You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I will punish those who sin and hate me. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
“Hicheng ho ang sung'a chu naboh khup louhel diu, ajeh chu keima, na-Pakaiyu-leh na-Pathen-u kahin pathen dang na kisem uva ahileh, keiman nangho heng'a ka lethuh diu napu na pate'u le nangma insung cheh chule a khang thumle li na channa lethuh ding kahi,” ati.
6 But I will steadfastly love thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations.)
“Keima thupeh nit jinga, eingailu mi chu asang aja chung'a kalungset nalong lou chu ka umsah jing ding ahiye,” ati.
7 Do not use my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
“Nangman Na-Pakai le Na-Pathen min jeng jong ajehbeija namin phah lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin Ama min ajehbeija minphah chung'a themmo achansah ding ahi.”
8 Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
“Cholngah nikho hi atheng'a nanit jing ding ahiti, sumil hih hel'in.”
9 There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
“Natoh ding cheng nigup sungse'a natoh chai ding,
10 but the seventh day is a day of rest, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship]. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not allow foreigners to work, those who are living in your country.
Ni sagi lhinni hi na-Pakaiya dia cholngah nikho, hiche nikhoa hi nangman natoh ima nabol louhel ding chule nangma nahin, nachapa, nachanu, na sohpa, na sohnu, na gancha jouse le na kelkot phung hungsung lha'a na kholjin mi naboncha uva ima natoh thei lou hel diuva ahiye.”
11 I, Yahweh, created the sky, the earth, the ocean, and everything that is in them, in six days. Then I stopped my work of creating everything, and rested on the seventh day. That is the reason that I, Yahweh, have blessed the rest day and set it apart [to be a sacred/special day].
“Ajeh chu Pakaiyin nigup sungsen van le leiset, twikhanglen le asung'a umjouse ana sem in; hiche nikhoa chu Pakaiyin cholngah nikho hi phatthei aboh'a ana lhandohsa ahi tai,” ati.
12 Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.
“Chule Pakai na-Pathen in napehsa hiche leiset chunga na hinkho asot thei na ding in nanu napa ging jing in.”
13 Do not murder anyone.
“Toltha nabol lou ding ahi.”
14 Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
“Mitoh jon nabol lou ding.”
15 Do not steal anything.
“Guchat nabol lou ding.”
16 Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
“Na sopi muda man'na thuse pole a napan lou ding.”
17 Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s house, someone else’s wife, someone else’s male or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that some other person owns.”
“Na kinaipi khat inchen chu na thangsetpi lou ding ahi. Na sopi ji khat chu na deichat lou ding, chule asohpa ahin, asohnu ahin abong chal ahin, asangan hijong le na sopi chule na kinaipi koma thil ima navet lal lou hel ding ahi,” ati.
18 When the people heard the thunder and saw the lightning, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet and saw the smoke on the mountain, they were afraid and trembled. They stood at a distance,
Mipihon van gin nasa tah chu aja tauvin, kolphe jeng jong amu tauvin, sumkon gin jing jong athong jeju jeng tan, molchung lam'a kon meikhu amukit tauvin ahile amaho chung'a kichatna alhung ta, chuin amahon anailut ngam tapouvin ahile gamlha tah'in aum den tauve.
19 and said to Moses/me, “If you speak to us, we will listen. But do not let God speak any more to us. [We are afraid that] if he speaks [any more] to us, we will die.”
“Chu in mipihon jong Mose heng'a asei tauvin, ‘Sei ding a na deisah chan keima ho heng'a seijeng tan, na sei kangai diu ahiye, ajeh chu Pathen in keiho heng'a thu seikha taleh mohseh'a ka thi gam lhah jeng ding'u ahi!”
20 Moses/I replied, “Do not be afraid! God has come to determine/test [how you will behave]. He wants you to revere him, and to not sin.”
“Mose'n a donbut uvin hiti hin aseiye, “Kicha hih un,” Pathen na gin diu chule na chonset thei lou na diuva, nangho sudet ding'a Pathen hung'a ahi joi!” ati.
21 Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
“Meilhang kiheh muthim'in atom nalah Pathen angsung'a chun Mose ache lut tan ahile, mipi jong chu akicha uvin gamlha thimma chun ading densoh kei tauve.”
22 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘You have heard how I, Yahweh, have spoken to you from heaven. I told you that you must not make any idols of silver or gold [that you will worship instead] of me.
Pakaiyin Mose heng'a aseijin, “Hiche hi Isarel mite heng'a seipeh tauvin: vanna kon in nang ho toh kihouna kaneije, tihi na mit tah uvin namu tauve,” ati.
“Geldoh jing un, ka masang'a dangka'a kijem patthen dang na sem louhel diu, dangka'a ki sem pathen dang kiti phot khat jeng cha jong nasem lou beh diu ahiye,” ati.
24 Make for me an altar from dirt. Sacrifice on it the animals that you will burn completely. Also sacrifice on it the animals that you will not burn completely, to maintain fellowship with me. Worship me [MTY] in any place that I choose for you to honor/worship me; and if you do that, I will come to you and bless you.
“Keima ding'in vannoi leiset na maicham khat nasem ding, hiche maicham chung'a chu pumgo thilto, chule chamna thilto jouse jaona kelngoi nou ahin, bongchal thilto a ding chengse jong na todoh ding, hoichan'na hijong le Keima geldoh jing'na ding'a naheng'a kahung jing ding phatthei ka chansah ding nahiye,” ati.
25 If you make for me an altar from stones, do not make it from stones that you have cut [to make them look nice], because you will make the altar unsuitable for [worshiping] me if you use tools to cut the stones.
“Chule nangman song maicham kiti khat nasem ding'a ahile, hicha song naman chah ding chu kijem pol ding chule songchung'a chu khut themma thiljem najihlut ding kitup tah'a na koi ding ahiye.
26 Do not make an altar that has steps in front of it, because if you do that, [people] could see your naked [buttocks] as you go up the steps.’”
“Maicham chungvum lam'a kalbi nado son ding chule nangma na sagohkeo jeng jong kimusah louva, ding-chang khenna na um ding ahiye,” ati.
