Exodus 19 (TCZCHONG)

1Israel miten Egypt gamsung* ahin dalhah kalseu lhani lhin'in Sinai mun gamthip ahunglhung tauvin ahi.In the third month, on the same day of the month that the Israelites had left the land of Egypt, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.

2Rephidim ngahmun ahin dalhah nung uvin Sinai gamthip noi ahin jot un Sinai Mol kom'a chun abusa tauvin ahi.After they had set out from Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.

3Mose molchunga akaltou tan Pakai toh aga kimuton ahile, Pakaijin molchung'a kon'in ahin kouvin aseije, “Thupeh hiche ho hi Jacob insung le Israel mite heng'a seipeh tauvin:Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, “This is what you are to tell the house of Jacob and explain to the sons of Israel:

4'Egypt mite chung'a ipi ti lamdol'a na katoh nang hon namu sohkei uve. Keiman nangho muvanlai lhaving'a kahin pui uve ti namu chenset tauvin ahi.‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

5Chule tua hi kathu nangai uva kakitepna nakoi jing uva ahileh, nangho hi vannoi mite jouse lah a keima dia atumbeh a naum diu; ajeh chu vannoi leiset pumpi hi keima a ahi.Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.

6Chule keima lenggam a chu nangho na leng chan diu, ka gamtheng nalo ding'u ahi. Hiche thu hi nangman Israel mite heng'a na seipeh tei ding ahi,” ati.And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”

7Chuin Mose molchunga kon'in akumsuh in Israel sung'a upaho akou khom'in Pakaijin a thupeh chengse abonchan aseipeh sohkei uve.So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.

8Chuin ama hon adonbut cheh uvin, “Ijakai Pakai thupeh bang'a keihon kabol diu ahi,” atiuve.And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.

9Chuin Pakaijin Mose heng'a aseijin, “Keima naheng'a meilhanga kahung ding, Mose, nangma kahin houpi teng Israel miten ajah cheh diu, chuteng ama hon jong nangma nahin tahsan jing diu ahi,” ati. Mose'n jong Israel miten adonbutna chu Pakai heng'a aseijin ahi.The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.

10Chuin Pakajin Mose heng'a asei in, “Kumsuh inlang keima kahungna dingin Israel mite gongtup tan, tuni le jing nikhoa din seipeh uvin chule avon jengu jong kisop theng cheh uhen.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes

11Nithum lhinnia dingin kigontup sah sohkei uvin, nithum lhin niteng amitmu tah uva Pakai chu Sinai Mol chung'a pat hung kumlha ding ahi tipeh un.and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

12Mol kimvel achun gamgi semin. Mipi ho chu gihgah in, 'Kichih theiyun! Koima molchung lam'a kaldoh hih hel'un chujongleh gamgi jeng jong koiman natham khah theilou diu ahi. Koi hileh mol thamkha chan chu thi jeng ding ahi.And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.

13Mihem hihen ganhcha hijongleh gamgi kallhah taphot chu songa se jeng ding, ahilouleh thalpi a kap jengun. Amaho chu tha doh ding ahi. Ahinlah, sumkon ahung kimut ginga pat mipi jong molchung lam'a kal thei ding ahiuve,” ati.No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows—whether man or beast, he must not live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”

14Chuin Mose'n jong mipi lam chu ahin jonsuh tai. Aman houkhomna a din mipi thensona aneijin, mipi hon jong ama-ama von cheh akisop theng uvin ahi.When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.

15Aman mipi heng'a aseijin, “Nithum lhin nia dingin ki gotup cheh uvin chule nu le pa kitimatna a jong naki kangse ding'u ahi,” ati.“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”

16Nithum lhinni jingkah khovah lam'in, vah akithing'in kolphe avah in, molchung achun meilhang ahung kum lha jeng tan ahi. Sumkon hatah in ahung ging tan ahile, ngahmun sung lam'a um mipi abonchauvin akihotlhul lhajeng tauve.On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the ram’s horn went out, so that all the people in the camp trembled.

17Mose'n jong mipi abonchauvin Pathen toh kimaito dingin ahin pui uvin, chuin mipi abonchauvin mol bul achun ading gam tauve.Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

18Sinai molchunga konin Pakai chu meikhu in ahung kum lhan ahile, lhum sung'a konna mei bangin ahung khudoh jeng tan, liing jong akihot lha jengin ahi.Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.

19Sumkon gin chu ahat cheh-cheh jeng tan ahile, Mose jong akipat in hiti hin aseije, van gin kithong lah a konin Pathen'in ahin houpin ahi.And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.

20Pakai chu Sinai molchung vum'a kon'in ahung kumsuh tan chuin, Molchung vum'a kon'in Pakaijin Mose ahin kouvin ahi. Mose jong akipatdoh in molchung lam'a chun akal touvin ahi.The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,

21Pakaijin Mose heng'a aseijin, “Kumsuh inlang mipi heng'a seipeh loijin, ajeh chu Pakai amunom uva gamgi khu ahin khal uva ahile thigam ding'u ahi.and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the LORD, lest many of them perish.

22Chule thempu ho Pakai kom nai jing ho jengin jong ama cheh akithenso uva ahile bou Pakaijin asuhmang lou diu ahi,” ati.Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”

23“Hinlah Pakai,” tin Mose'n aseijin, 'mipi abonchauva Sinai molchung'a hung kal theilou diu ahi. Ajeh chu nangman nei gihgah u ahitai. Nei seipeh bangin, 'Mol kimvella gamgi sem a athenga umsah dinga nei thupeh sa'u ahiye'” ati.But Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, for You solemnly warned us, ‘Put a boundary around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”

24Ahinlah Pakaijin aseijin, “Chesuh inlang Aaron gakipuiyin lang hin kilhonpi tan. Amavang thempu ho le mipi ho abonchauvin thupeh neijin lang koimacha gamgi khokhel a Pakai lam'a hung theilou ding'u ahiye,” ati.And the LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”

25Chuti chun Pakajin athupeh bangin Mose achesuh in mipi ho heng'a aga seipeh tan ahi.So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
