Sunglatnah 20
1 Pathen loh ol cungkuem he a thui tih,
God spoke all these words, saying,
2 Kai na Pathen Yahweh loh nang te Egypt kho kah sal im lamloh kang khuen.
“I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], out of the house of bondage.
3 Ka mikhmuh ah a tloe pathen te nang ham om boel saeh.
“You shall have no other elohim ·deities, judges· before 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 shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 shall not hawa ·bow low, prostrate· yourself down to them, nor abad ·serve· them, for I, Adonai your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
6 Kai aka lungnah tih ka olpaek aka tuem taengah tah a thawng thawng la sitlohnah tueng.
and showing cheshed ·loving-kindness· to thousands of those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· me and keep my mitzvot ·instructions·.
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 shall not take the name of Adonai your God in vain, for Adonai will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
8 Sabbath hnin te ciim hamla poek.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Hnin rhuk thotat lamtah na bitat te boeih saii.
You shall labor six days, and 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 Adonai your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;
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 Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Adonai blessed the Sabbath ·To cease· 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.
“Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land which Adonai your God gives you.
13 Hlang ngawn boeh.
“You shall not murder.
14 Samphaih boeh.
“You shall not commit adultery.
15 Huen boeh.
“You shall not steal.
16 Na hui te laithae laipai neh doo boeh.
“You shall not give false witness against your neighbor.
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.
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
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.
All the people perceived the thunder, the lightnings, the sound of the shofar ·ram horn·, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
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.
They said to Moses [Drawn out], “Speak with us yourself, and we will sh'ma ·hear obey·; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.”
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.
Moses [Drawn out] said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”
21 Te vaengah pilnam a hla la pai tih Moses tah Pathen om nah yinnah taengla thoeih.
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses [Drawn out] came near to the thick darkness 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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “This is what you shall tell the children of Israel [God prevails]: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Kai neh thuidoek ham te saii uh boeh. Cakben pathen neh sui pathen khaw namamih ham saii uh boeh.
You shall most certainly not make alongside of me deities of silver, or deities of gold 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.
You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
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.
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
26 Ka hmueihtuk kah tangtlaeng soah yoeng boeh. A soah na yah te poelyoe boeh.
You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
