Sunglatnah 20
1 Pathen loh ol cungkuem he a thui tih,
And God said all these words:
2 Kai na Pathen Yahweh loh nang te Egypt kho kah sal im lamloh kang khuen.
I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
3 Ka mikhmuh ah a tloe pathen te nang ham om boel saeh.
You are to have no other gods but me.
4 Namah ham mueithuk neh vaan so lamkah khaw, diklai hman neh a dang lamkah khaw, tui khui neh a dang lamkah muei cungkuem te diklai ah saii boeh.
You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:
5 Te rhoek taengah bakop boel lamtah amih taengah thothueng boeh. Kai Yahweh, nang kah Pathen, thatlai Pathen loh kai aka hmuhuet taengah tah, pa rhoek kathaesainah te ca rhoek soah khongthum neh khongli hil ka cawh.
You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
6 Kai aka lungnah tih ka olpaek aka tuem taengah tah a thawng thawng la sitlohnah tueng.
And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
7 Na Pathen Yahweh ming te a poeyoek la muk boeh. A ming a poeyoek la aka muk te BOEIPA loh a hmil moenih.
You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord
8 Sabbath hnin te ciim hamla poek.
Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.
9 Hnin rhuk thotat lamtah na bitat te boeih saii.
On six days do all your work:
10 Tedae a rhih hnin tah na BOEIPA Pathen ham Sabbath ni. Na bitat cungkuem dongah, na capa khaw, na canu khaw, na salpa khaw, na salnu khaw, na rhamsa khaw, na vongka kah yinlai khaw tueih boeh.
But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:
11 BOEIPA loh vaan neh diklai, tuitunli neh a cungkuem he hnin rhuk ah a saii dae a rhih hnin ah duem. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Sabbath hnin te yoethen a paek tih a ciim.
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.
12 Na nu neh na pa te thangpom. Te daengah ni na Pathen Yahweh loh nang taengah m'paek diklai ah na hinglung a vang eh.
Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
13 Hlang ngawn boeh.
Do not put anyone to death without cause.
14 Samphaih boeh.
Do not be false to the married relation.
15 Huen boeh.
Do not take the property of another.
16 Na hui te laithae laipai neh doo boeh.
Do not give false witness against your neighbour.
17 Na hui kah im te nai boeh. Na hui kah a yuu, a sal neh a salnu khaw, a vaito neh a laak khaw, na hui kah boeih te nai boeh,” a ti.
Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.
18 Te vaengah pilnam boeih loh olthang neh hmaithoi, tuki ol neh tlang kah a khuu te a hmuh uh. Pilnam loh a hmuh vaegah hinghuen uh tih a hla la pai uh.
And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.
19 Te phoeiah Moses taengah, “Namah loh kaimih taengah thui lamtah ka hnatun uh bitni. Pathen loh kaimih taengah thui boel saeh, ka duek uh ve,” a ti uh.
And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.
20 Te dongah Moses loh pilnam te, “Nangmih noemcai ham Pathen ha pawk kong ah rhih uh boeh. Te kong nen ni na maelhmai ah amah hinyahnah om vetih na tholh uh pawt eh.
And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.
21 Te vaengah pilnam a hla la pai tih Moses tah Pathen om nah yinnah taengla thoeih.
And the people kept their places far off, but Moses went near to the dark cloud where God was.
22 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “He he Israel ca rhoek taengah thui pah, vaan lamloh nangmih taengah ka thui te na hmuh uh.
And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven
23 Kai neh thuidoek ham te saii uh boeh. Cakben pathen neh sui pathen khaw namamih ham saii uh boeh.
Gods of silver and gods of gold you are not to make for yourselves.
24 Kai hamla diklai hmueihtuk saii lamtah a soah na hmueihhlutnah neh na rhoepnah khaw, na boiva neh na saelhung khaw nawn uh. Hmuen cungkuem ah ka ming ka thoelh vaengah nang taengla ka pawk vetih nang yoethen kam paek ni.
Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.
25 Kai hamla lungto hmueihtuk na saii atah a soah lungrhaih khoeng boeh. A soah na cunghang na hnonah koinih hmueihtuk ni na poeih eh.
And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.
26 Ka hmueihtuk kah tangtlaeng soah yoeng boeh. A soah na yah te poelyoe boeh.
And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.
