Exodus 34
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Cut two slabs of stone that will be like the first slabs, the ones that you broke. Then I will engrave on them the words that were on the first slabs.
Pakayin Mose henga thu aseijin, “Masang ngaiya bang'in songpheng'ni suiyin lang, hiche song pheng teni achu masang'a nangman nasekeh songpheng teni chung'a kijih thuchang chu keiman ka hin sut kit ding ahi.”
2 Get ready tomorrow morning, and come up to the top of Sinai Mountain again to talk with me there.
“Kigo'in lang jingkah teng'le Sinai molsang lam'a nahung kal touding, molsang vum'a kaheng'a nahung din ding ahi,” ati.
3 Do not allow anyone to come up with you. I do not want anyone [else] to be anywhere on the mountain. Do not allow any sheep or cattle to graze (at the base of/near) the mountain.”
“Koima dang na hin kilhon pithei lou ding, hiche molsang jousea khu koi macha dang kilah thei lou ding ahi. Kelngoi hon ahin gancha kitiphot khat jeng cha jong molsang lah a khu nalhat sah lou ding ahi.”
4 So Moses/I cut two slabs of stone that were like the first ones. He/I arose early the next morning. He/I took the slabs and carried them in his/my hands up to the top of Sinai Mountain, as Yahweh had commanded.
Mose'n jong masang'abang bang chun songpheng ni asuiyin, ajing jingkah matah'in athoudoh'in Pakai thupeh bang chun Sinai molsang chung vum'a ache tou tan, song pheng teni achoijin a kaltou tai.
5 Then Yahweh descended in the [tall] cloud and stood with Moses/me there. He proclaimed that it was he, Yahweh, [who was going to speak to Moses/me].
“Molvum lama kon'in Pakai chu mei bol in ahung tan chuin Mose toh'a ding khom lhonne. Chuin Pakai min chu sangtah in akouvin ahi.”
6 Then Yahweh passed in front of him/me and proclaimed, “I am Yahweh God. I always act mercifully and kindly [toward people]. I do not get angry quickly. I [truly] love [people] and I do what I promise to do for them, without changing.
“Pakai jong Mose masa lang lama chen, a sei peh in, Pakai, Pakai hepi them le lunghang vah lou iti channa mi lungset them le dihna dimset jeng tin asei in ahi.”
7 I love people for thousands of generations. I forgive people for all kinds of sins [TRI]. But I will certainly punish [LIT] those who are guilty. 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).”
“Mihem asang asang chung'a lungset na nei jing, themmona le suhkhel na jouse jong ngaidam jia, amavang themmona alembaseh'a umsah lou mipa le chate kikah atute channa natong jing ding, chule khang thumle-li channa natong theiya ahi,” ati.
8 Moses/I quickly prostrated himself/myself on the ground and worshiped [Yahweh].
“Mose jong tol lhamma akun'in chibai aboh paijin ahi.”
9 He/I said, “Yahweh, if you are now pleased with me, I ask that you go with us. These people are very stubborn [IDM], but forgive us for all our sins [DOU], and accept us to be people who belong to you [forever].”
“Mose'n aseijin, “O Pakai nangma mitmua lunglhaina kachanna ahile, nahenga kataove, Pakai hi kalah uvah hung um henlang, kathemmo nao le kachonset najouse ngaidamin, nagoulo thei din neisem taovin,” ati.
10 Yahweh replied, “Note this: I am going to make a solemn agreement [with the Israeli people]. As they are watching, I will perform great miracles. They will be miracles that no one has ever done on the earth in any nation. All the people who are near you will see the great things that I, Yahweh, will do. I will do awesome things for you [all].
“Chuin Pakaiyin aseijin, Tua hi keiman nangma toh ikah'a kitepna ka sem ding ahi. Namite lah a keiman thil nasatah tah ka kilah sah ding, hi tabang thil ki dang hohi leiset'a ana umkha lou lai ahin, chule nam dang telah jeng ajong anasoh khalou lai ahi. Na chenna chan uva mihem hon Pakai thil bol ki dang ahin mudoh diu, ajeh chu keiman ka hinbol ding thil hi thil ki dang tah ahi,” ati.
11 [Each Israeli] person must obey what I am commanding you this day. Do not forget that [if you obey me], I will expel the Amor, Canaan, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups [from the land]. But be careful that you do not make any [peace] agreements with any of the people who live in the land into which you are going, because if you do that, [you will begin to do the evil things that they do]. It will be [like] falling into a trap.
“Tunin ka thupeh hi na suhmil lou ding ahi. Nei hin ven, kei matah in namasang lama Amor mite, Canaan mite, Hit mite, Periz mite, Hivi mite le Jebus mite abonchauva kajam sah gam diu ahi.”
“Tun nangma ki cheh theiyin, na chenna gammite toh kitepna hinsem khan nate, achuti louva ahile hitabang kitepna chu kipal lhuh'na hung pang ding ahi,” ati.
13 You must tear down their altars, destroy their sacred pillars, and cut down [the poles that they use to worship their female goddess] Asherah.
“Hijeh chun nangman hiche gammite maicham jouse chu nasuh set gamhel ding, akhompi jouseo jong nasuh lhuh soh kei ding ahi, chule Asher doi jong chu na phuh lhuh ding ahi.”
14 You must worship only me, [and] not worship any other god, because I, Yahweh, cannot endure any rivals.
“Ajeh chu nangma pathen dang angsung'a naboh khup'a natao theilou hel ding ahi. Ajeh chu amin jong Pakai chule Pathen chu hung thang tom jing thei ahi,” ati.
15 Do not make peace agreements with [any group] that lives in that land. When they worship their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they invite you to join them, do not join them. If [you join them], you will eat the food that they sacrifice to their gods, and [you will not be faithful to me. You will be like people who] commit adultery, [who are not being faithful to their spouses] [MET].
“Hijeh chun agamsung chengte toh kitepna na sem thei lou ding, hiche mite chun a pathen'nu umchan atho diu amaho le amho kah a jonthan hoi in apat diu, hiche pathen semthu ho heng'a kilhaina asem teng ule nangma jong nahin tep diu ahin, hiche a na hinkou pen pen-sa ki lhaina chu naneh thei lou ding ahi,” ati.
16 If you take some of their women to be wives for your sons, and these women worship their own gods, they will persuade your sons also to worship their gods.
“Na chapate ji ding'a agam cheng numei napuipeh theilou ding, a channute jouse'u a pathen'u umchan atho uva a ki joh bang uva khu, na chapate jeng jong hung ki joh lo ding'u ahi.”
17 Do not pour melted metal into molds to make statues for you to worship.
“Chule nangma macham'ma pathen limsem thu kiti mong mong nahou lou ding ahi.”
18 [Each year], during the month [of/named] Abib, celebrate the Festival of Eating Bread Made Without Yeast. [During that festival], for seven days you must not eat bread made with yeast, as I commanded you, because it was in that month that you left Egypt.
“Chol solou changlhah kut jong imatih channa na man jing ding ahi. Ka thupeh bang bang'a aphat ahung lhun teng, Abib lha sungse'a chu nangman cholsolou changlhah na neh ding ahi. Ajeh chu hiche lha sunga hi nangma Egypt gam sung'a kon'a na hung doh ahi,” ati.
19 Your firstborn sons and the firstborn [male] animals of your cattle and sheep [and goats] belong to me.
“Chule ahung peng doh masa jouse chu keiya ding ahi. Achal'a kai lhah ki tiphot chu, gancha lah'a bong ahin, kelngoi hi jong le keija ding ahi.”
20 The firstborn of your [male] donkeys [also belong to me]. But you may buy them back by [offering to me] lambs [in their place]. If you do not do that, you must [kill these animals by] breaking their necks. You must also buy back your firstborn sons. You must bring an offering to me [LIT] each time you come to [worship] me.
“Sangan hung peng doh masa jong chu nangman kelngoi khat'a nalhat doh ding, ita bang khatna na lhat doh jou louva ahile hiche sangan nou chu angong chang na he boh peh ding ahi. Na chapate lah'a ahung peng doh masa pen jong lhat dohna na sem peh tei ding, ajeh chu na lah uva koima ka heng lam'a khut goh keuva hung kilah thei lou ding ahi.”
21 [Each week] you may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. [Even] during the times when you plow [the ground] and harvest [your crops], you must rest [on the seventh day].
“Ni gup sung se'a nangman tohthei chan natoh ding, ni sagi lhinni teng le na kichol do ding ahi. Lou na toh lai hihen lholhun lai hijong le nangma nakichol teitei ding ahi,” ati.
22 [Each year] celebrate the Harvest Festival, when you begin to harvest the first crop of wheat, and also celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, when you finish harvesting [the grain and fruit].
“Ni sagi lhin nia kut jong na bol jing ding na nit teitei ding ahi. Chule suhlou chang kut jong na bol jing ding, kum lhun teng le muchi ga soh khop tup kut jong na bol cheh cheh ding ahi.”
23 Three times each year all the men must come to worship me, Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
“Kum khat sung'a namite lah'a pasal'a kai lhah jouse Israel Pakai, Pathen heng'a hung kilah cheh ding'u ahi.”
24 I will expel the people-groups that live in the land [where you will be], and I will cause your territory to become very large. As a result, no group will try to conquer your country if you come to worship me each year during those three festivals.
“Ajeh chu keiman nam tin vaipi jouse masang'a ka huh doh'a hitia chu na gamgi ka suh len ding ahi. Ajeh chu nangma kumkhat sung'a Pakai heng'a kilah ding na che teng le hiche gamma kon'na chu khat jeng chan jong na umlou kah'a na gam sung lah ding lung aken lou hel ding'u ahi.”
25 When you sacrifice an animal [MTY] to me, do not offer with it bread that is made with yeast. And during the Passover Festival, when you sacrifice lambs, do not keep any of the meat until the next morning.
“Ka heng'a ki lhaina sa kiti phot chol sosa toh na neh tha lou ding, kalchuh kut'a ding'a sa kithat chan jong jing khovah geiya na koi den theilou diu ahi.”
26 I am Yahweh God. You must bring to my Sacred Tent the first part of the grain that you harvest each year. When you kill a young animal/kid [either a lamb or a calf], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
“Na gamsung'a ga soh jouse jong na Pakai leh na Pathen heng'a nahin poh lut cheh cheh ding ahi. Chule kelngoi nou jeng jong api noitwija na hon min thei lou ding ahi.”
27 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Write down the words that I have told you. By giving you these commands, I have made a solemn agreement with you and with the [other] Israeli people.”
“Pakaiyin Mose heng'a thu asei in, Ka thupeh chengse abonchan sun doh cheh cheh in, Ka thupeh chengse dung juiya hi Israel toh na kikah'a kitepna ka sem doh ding ahi,” ati.
28 Moses/I was there [on the top of the mountain] with Yahweh for 40 days and nights. During that time he/I did not eat or drink anything [SYN]. He/I engraved on the stone slabs the words of the Ten Commandments, [which were part of Yahweh’s] solemn agreement.
Hiche laimun na chun Pakai le Mose chu ni som le jan som li jen aum khom in ahi. Hiche phatsung'a ahin Mose'n twi jong donlou an jong ne louvin aum in ahi. Hichea kitepna jouse chu Mose'n jong song pheng teni chung achun ajih lut tan ahi.”
29 When Moses/I came back down the mountain, carrying in his/my hand the two stone slabs on which were written the Ten Commandments, his/my face was shining because he/I had been talking with Yahweh, but he/I did not know that his/my face was shining.
“Sinai molsang lam'a kon'in Mose jong ahung kum suh'in ahile hettoh sahna song pheng teni chu ahin choiyin ahi. Mose mai chu vahlha jeng'e ajeh chu Pathen toh aga kihou lim jeh ahin hinlah aman ahedoh pon ahi.”
30 When Aaron and the [other] Israeli people saw Moses/me, they were amazed/surprised that his/my face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him/me.
“Chuin Aaron le Israel chate jousen amudoh taovin ahile, Mose chu amai avah lha jeng tan, chuin amaho abonchaovin akicha lheh jeng tauvin ave ngam ta pouvin nai jong ahin nai lut ngam tapouve.”
31 But Moses/I called to them. Then Aaron and the other Israeli leaders came to him/me, and he/I talked with them.
Mose'n ahin kouvun, Chun in Aaron le khopi sung'a lamkai jouse Mose henglama ahung un, Mose'n jong ama ho chengse chu aki hou pin ahi.”
32 Afterwards, all the other Israeli people came near, and he/I told them all the laws that Yahweh had given to him/me on Sinai Mountain.
“Israel chate ho jousen jong ahin nailut cheh uvin, Sinai molsang chung vumma Pakaiyin Mose ahoupi na bang bang in Mose'n jong Israel mite Jouse chu a houlim pi'n thu jouse chu ajah uva a sei peh tan ahi.”
33 When Moses/I finished talking to the people, he/I put a veil over his/my face.
“Mose'n jong thupeh Jouse aheng uva asei chai soh phat in amai dal ding in pon khat aki lekhu sah tai.”
34 But whenever Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent to talk with Yahweh, he/I removed the veil. When he/I came back out, he/I would always tell to the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me [to tell them].
“Mose jong Pakai to kihoulim ding'a ache lut ji teng, ahung potdoh kit kahsen amai dalna ding'a ponkhu chu ahin ki lah doh kit ji tan ahi. Mose jong ahung poh doh'a Pakaiyin ipi ahin seipeh ahi dem ti Isreal mite heng'a a seipeh jin ahi.”
35 The Israeli people would see that Moses’/my face was [still] shining. Then he/I would put the veil back on his/my face again until the next time that he/I went into [the Sacred Tent] to talk with Yahweh.
Israel cha ten jong Mose maichu ave uvin ahile, avah lha jeng in ahi. Mose jong Pakai toh kimu to ding'a ache lut kit kah sen amai dalna pon chu akikhu jin ahi.
