Exodus 34

1 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Na vah phaeng ih thlung kangphaek pongah tarik ih ca baktih toengah ka tarik let hanah, hmaloe ih baktih toengah thlung kangphaek hnetto sah ah.

And Yahweh said unto Moses—Hew thee two tables of stone, like the first, —and I will write upon the tables the words which were upon the first tables which thou didst break in pieces;

2 Khawnbang khawnthaw ah amsak coek ah loe, Sinai mae ah daw tahang ah; maesom nuiah nangmah hoi nangmah to kai khaeah ang paek ah.

and be thou ready by the morning, —and thou shalt come up. in the morning, into Mount Sinai; then shalt thou station thyself for me there upon the top of the mount;

3 Mi doeh angzo haih hmah, mi doeh mae nuiah hnuk han om hmah nasoe; tuu hoi maitawnawk doeh mae hmaa ah toep o hmah nasoe.

and, no man, may come up with thee, and let no man so much as be seen in all the mount, —and let not even the flocks or the herds, feed in front of that mountain.

4 To pongah anih mah hmaloe ih baktih toengah, thlung kangphaek hnetto a sak; Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, a ban ah thlung kangphaek hnetto sin pacoengah, Sinai mae nuiah dawh tahang.

So he hewed two tables of stone like the first and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and took in his hand two tables of stone.

5 To naah Angraeng loe tamai thung hoiah anghum tathuk, to ah anih hoi nawnto angdoet moe, Angraeng ih ahmin to taphong.

And Yahweh descended in the cloud, and took his station with him there, —and proclaimed himself by the name Yahweh.

6 Mosi hmaa ah Angraeng to caeh moe, Amlunghaih, palungnathaih hoi kakoi Angraeng, palungsawk, thui laek ai hoihhaih hoi loktang hoiah kakoi,

So Yahweh passed before him, and proclaimed, —Yahweh, Yahweh, A God of compassion and favour, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and faithfulness:

7 athawng asang kaminawk tahmenkung, zaehaih, sakpazaehaih hoi kahoih ai hmuen sakhaih tahmenkung, toe zaehaih sah kaminawk loe khensut ai ah; ampanawk ih zaehaih pongah a caanawk adung thumto hoi palito karoek to thuitaekkung, Angraeng Sithaw, tiah taphong.

Keeping lovingkindness to a thousand generations, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, Though he leave not, utterly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers, Upon sons, And upon sons’ sons, Unto a third and unto a fourth generation.

8 Mosi loe karangah long ah akuep moe, a bok.

Then Moses made haste, —and bent his head towards the earth and bowed himself down;

9 Aw Angraeng, na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh nahaeloe, Angraeng loe kaicae hoi nawnto caeh nasoe; hae kaminawk loe palungthah o, toe kaicae zaehaih hoi sakpazaehaihnawk to tahmen raeh ah loe, kaicae hae nangmah ih qawktoepkung ah na la ah, tiah a naa.

and said—If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, O My Lord, I pray thee let My Lord go on in our midst, —although a stiff-necked people, it is, so wilt thou pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us as thine own.

10 To pacoengah anih mah, Khenah, nangcae hoi lokmaihaih ka sak han; long nuiah kaom kaminawk boih hmaa ah, sak vai ai ih dawnraihaih to nang ih kaminawk boih mikhnuk ah ka sak han; nangcae khaeah ka sak han ih dawnrai hmuen loe zit thoh pongah, nang hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk mah Angraeng mah sak ih hmuen to hnu o tih.

And he said—Lo! I, am about to solemnise a covenant, -in presence of all thy people, will I do marvellous things, which have not been created in any part of the earth nor among any of the nations, —so shall all the people in whose midst thou, art see the work of Yahweh for a fearful thing, it is, which I, am doing with thee.

11 Vai hniah kang thuih ih lok hae tahngai ah; khenah, Amor, Kannan, Hit, Periz, Hiv hoi Jebus kaminawk to nangcae hmaa ah ka haek han.

Take thou heed what, I, am commanding thee this day, —behold me! driving out from before thee—the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

12 Na caeh han ih prae kaminawk hoi lokmaihaih na sak han ai ah, acoe ah; na sak moeng nahaeloe nihcae loe nangcae han thaang ah om o tih.

Take heed to thyself, Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, whereupon, thou, art about to enter, —Lest he become a snare in thy midst;

13 Nihcae ih hmaicamnawk to phrae pae ah, krangnawk doeh paro pae ah loe, Asherah tungnawk doeh pakhruh pae ah.

For their altars, shall ye smash, And their pillars, shall ye shiver, —And their sacred-stems, shall ye fell.

14 Kalah sithaw to bok hmah; anih ih ahmin loe, Ut panoek Angraeng; ut panoek Sithaw, tiah oh;

For thou shalt not bow thyself down to another GOD, —For as for Yahweh, Jealous, is his name, A jealous GOD, he is:

15 to prae thungah kaom kaminawk hoi lokmaihaih na sak nahaeloe, nihcae loe angmacae ih sithawnawk khaeah a takpum to zaw o ueloe, angbawnhaih to sah o tih; nang doeh na kawk o ueloe, nihcae mah sak ih angbawnhaih moi to na caa moeng tih;

Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, —And then as surely as they go unchastely after their gods and sacrifice to their gods, So surely will he invite thee, And thou wilt eat of his sacrifice;

16 Na capanawk hanah nihcae ih canunawk zu ah na lak pae nahaeloe, a canunawk loe angmacae ih sithawnawk khaeah takpum zaw o ueloe, na capanawk doeh nihcae ih sithawnawk hoi zaehaih to sah o moeng tih.

And thou wilt take of his daughters for thy sons, —And his daughters will go unchastely after their gods, And will cause thy sons to go unchastely after their gods.

17 Nangmah hanah krang to sah hmah.

Molten gods, shalt thou not make to thee.

18 Taeh thuh ai ih poih to sah ah. Kang paek ih lok baktih toengah, ni sarihto thung taeh thuh ai ih takaw to caa ah; Abib khrah phak naah sah ah; Abib khrah naah ni Izip prae thung hoiah na tacawt.

The festival of unleavened cakes, shalt thou keep, seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, which I commanded thee, at the set time, in the month Abib, —for in the month Abib, camest thou forth out of Egypt.

19 Zok thung hoi tapen tangsuek calu boih loe kai ih ni; tuu doeh, maitaw doeh, tapen tangsuek atae loe kai ih ni.

Every one that is the first to be born, is mine, —and every one of thy cattle that is born a male, firstling of oxen or sheep.

20 Tapen tangsuek laa hrang to tuucaa hoiah akrang ah; na krang ai nahaeloe, laa hrang ih tahnong to khaek paeh. Tapen tangsuek na capanawk to akrang boih ah. Mi kawbaktih doeh ka hmaa ah bangkrai ah angzo hmah nasoe.

But the firstling of an ass, thou mayst redeem with a lamb, and if thou wilt not redeem it, then shalt thou break its neck. Every firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou redeem, and he must not see my face, with empty hand.

21 Ni tarukto thung toksah ah loe, ni sarihto naah loe anghak ah; laikok atokhaih atue hoi cang aahhaih atue ah doeh, ni sarihto naah loe anghak ah.

Six days, shalt thou labour, but on the seventh day, shalt thou rest, —in plowing time and in harvest, shalt thou rest.

22 Zarto boeng naah kathai tangsuek cang aahhaih poih to sah ah, cang pakhuenghaih poih doeh saning boeng naah sah ah.

And the festival of weeks, shalt thou make to thee, the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, —and the festival of ingathering, at the closing in of the year:

23 Na capa nongpanawk loe Angraeng Sithaw, Israel Sithaw hmaa ah, saningto naah vai thumto angphong o han angaih.

three times in the year, shall every one of thy males see the face of the Lord Yahweh the God of Israel.

24 Acaeng kaminawk to na hmaa ah ka haek moe, na prae to ka kawksak han; na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah angphong hanah, saningto naah vai thumto na caeh naah, mi mah doeh na prae to khit mak ai.

For I will root out nations from before thee, and will enlarge thy borders, —and no man shall covet thy land, when thou goes up to see the face of Yahweh thy God, three times in the year.

25 Moi thii hoi taeh thuh ih hmuen hoiah kai khaeah angbawnhaih to sah hmah; loihaih poih sak ih angbawnhaih moi to akhawnbang khoek to suem hmah.

Thou shalt not slay, along with anything leavened, the blood of my sacrifice, —neither shall remain to the morning, the sacrifice of the festival of the passover.

26 Na lawk thung ih athai tangsuek thingthai qumpo to na Angraeng Sithaw im ah sin ah; Maeh caa to amno ih tahnutui hoi nawnto thong hmah, tiah a naa.

The beginning of the firstfruits of thy ground, shalt thou bring into the house of Yahweh, thy God, Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.

27 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Hae loknawk hae tarik ah; hae loknawk baktih toengah, nang hoi Israel kaminawk salakah lokmaihaih to ka sak, tiah a naa.

And Yahweh said unto Moses, Write for thyself these words, for according to the tenor of these words, have I solemnized with thee, a covenant, and with Israel.

28 Mosi loe buhcaa ai, tui doeh nae ai ah, Angraeng hoi nawnto ni qui pali, qum qui palito thung oh; to naah anih mah kaalok hato, lokmaihaih loknawk to thlung kangphaek pongah tarik.

So then he was there, with Yahweh, forty days and forty nights, bread, did he not eat and, water, did he not drink, and he wrote upon the tables, the words of the covenant, the ten words.

29 Mosi loe hnukung thlung kangphaek hnetto ban ah sin moe, mae nui hoiah anghum tathuk, Angraeng hoi nawnto lok apaeh hoi naah, angmah loe kampha angmah ih mikhmai to panoek ai.

And it came to pass, when Moses came down out of Mount Sinai, with the two tables of testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down out of the mount, that, Moses, knew not that the skin of his face shone, through his having spoken with him.

30 Aaron hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah Mosi to hnuk o naah, khenah, anih ih mikhmai loe ampha; to pongah anih khae anghnaih hanah a zit o.

And Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and lo! the skin of his face shone, and they stood in awe of drawing nigh unto him.

31 Toe nihcae to Mosi mah kawk; to pongah Aaron hoi Israel zaehoikungnawk boih, anih khaeah angzoh o let, to tiah Mosi hoi nihcae to lok aram o.

So then Moses called unto them, and Aaron and all the princes in the assembly returned unto him, —and Moses spake unto them.

32 To pacoengah Israel kaminawk boih anih taengah anghnaih o moe, Sinai mae ah Angraeng mah paek ih kaaloknawk to nihcae khaeah thuih pae boih.

And afterwards, came nigh, all the sons of Israel, and he gave them in commandment all that Yahweh had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.

33 Mosi mah nihcae khaeah lokthuih pae boih pacoengah, a mikhmai to khuk.

And when Moses had made an end of speaking with them, he put over his face a veil:

34 Toe Mosi loe Angraeng hoi lok apaeh hanah anih hmaa ah caeh kruek, tasa bang angzo let ai karoek to, a mikhmai khukhaih to takhoe ving; tasa bang angzoh pacoengah, anih khaeah thuih pae ih loknawk to Israel kaminawk khaeah a thuih pae patoeng.

but, as often as Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he put aside the veil until he came out, —and, as often as he came out and spake unto the sons of Israel, that which he had been commanded,

35 To naah kampha Mosi ih mikhmai to Israel kaminawk mah hnuk o; Mosi loe Angraeng hoi lok apaeh hanah caeh karoek to mikhmai to a khuk let.

the sons of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses face shone, —so Moses again put the veil over his face, until he went in to speak with him.
