1Hat navah, Cathut ni a dei e lawk teh,And God spoke all these words:

2Kai teh nangmouh santoungnae hmuen, Izip ram dawk hoi na ka tâcawtkhai e nangmae Cathut Jehovah doeh.“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

3Kai hloilah alouke cathut na bawk awh mahoeh.You shall have no other gods before Me.

4Lathueng kalvan thoseh, rahim talai dawk thoseh, talai rahim tui dawk thoseh, kaawm e hno hoi mei kâvan lah, meikaphawk bawk hanlah na sak mahoeh.You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.

5A hmalah tabo hoi na bawk mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nange Cathut kai Jehovah teh nang dawk yon ao telah tang ka yuem e Cathut, kai na kahmuhmanaw e ca catoun se thum, se pali totouh a napanaw e yon hah a capanaw koe ka pathung e Cathut lah ka o.You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

6Kai hah lungpataw ni teh ka kâpoelawknaw ka tarawi e a ca catoun, a se thongsang totouh lungmanae ka kamnuek sak e Cathut lah ka o.but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7Nange Cathut Jehovah e min hah laithoe lah dei awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, A min laithoe lah ka dei e tami teh yon tawn hoeh telah BAWIPA ni pouk mahoeh.You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.

8Sabbath hnin thoung sak hanelah, hote hnin hah pahnim awh hanh.Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

9Hnin taruk touh thung thaw panki hoi tawk awh.Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

10Hnin sari hnin teh na BAWIPA Cathut e Sabbath hnin lah ao. Hote hnin dawk, nang hoi na canaw, na sannu sanpanaw, saring, nange longkha thung kaawm e imyinnaw hai thaw tawk awh mahoeh.but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates.

11Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni kalvan, talai, hmuen pueng koe kaawmnaw pueng hah hnin taruk touh thung a sak teh, hnin sari hnin nah, a kâhat. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hnin sari hnin hah yawhawi a poe teh a thoungsak.For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.

12Na Cathut Jehovah ni na poe e ram dawk na hringsaw nahanelah, na manu hoi na pa barih.Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

13Tami thet hanh.You shall not murder.

14Uicuk hanh.You shall not commit adultery.

15Ayâ e hno parawt hanh.You shall not steal.

16Na imri koe kalan hoeh e kapanuekkhaikung lah awm hanh.You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17Imri e im, a yu, a sannu sanpa, maito, marang hoi hnopai buet touh haiyah lungthin radueknae tawn hanh telah atipouh.You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

18Taminaw ni keitat lawk, sumpapalik, mongka ueng lawk, mon hoi hmaikhu a tâco e naw hah a hmu awh toteh, a taki awh dawkvah, a kâhnawn awh teh ahlanae koe vah a kangdue awh.When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sounding of the ram’s horn, and the mountain enveloped in smoke, they trembled and stood at a distance.

19Mosi koevah Nang ni lawk dei lah ka ngai awh han. Kaimouh koe Cathut lawk dei han naseh. Kaimouh ka due hane hah puen ao telah atipouh.“Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”

20Mosi ni hai na lungpuen awh hanh. Nangmouh tanouk hanelah thoseh, nangmouh teh sak payonnae dawk hoi hlout hanelah ama taki hanelah thoseh, Cathut a tho toe telah taminaw koe a dei pouh.“Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning.”

21Taminaw ni ahlanae koe vah a kangdue awh. Mosi teh Cathut onae koe kinghmonae koe lah a hnai.And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

22BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw bout a dei pouh e teh, kai ni kalvan hoi nangmouh na pato e hah na panue awh toe.Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven.

23Kai bawknae dawk namamouh hno hanlah ngun cathut thoseh, sui cathut thoseh na sak awh mahoeh.You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or gold.

24Kai hanelah talai khoungroe hah na sak awh han. Hote khoungroe dawk nange hmaisawi sathei, yonthanae sathei lah kaawm e nange tu, maitonaw hah na thueng awh han. Ka min na bawknae hmuen pueng dawk nang koe ka tho vaiteh yawhawinae na poe han.You are to make for Me an altar of earth, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats and cattle. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.

25Nang ni talung khoungroe hah kai hanlah na sak pawiteh, talung dei e hoi na sak mahoeh. Sum hoi thuk e talung hoi sak e khoungroe teh khinnae ao.Now if you make an altar of stones for Me, you must not build it with stones shaped by tools; for if you use a chisel on it, you will defile it.

26Nang dawk kayanae ao hoeh nahanelah, khoungroe dawk khalai hoi na luen mahoeh telah ati.And you must not go up to My altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’
