Exodus 20
1 And God spake all these words saying: —
Hae loknawk boih Sithaw mah thuih;
2 I, am Yahweh thy God, —who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of servants: —
kai loe misong ah na ohhaih, Izip prae thung hoi nangcae zaehoikung, Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh.
3 Thou shalt not have other gods besides me.
Ka hmaa ah Sithaw kalah tawn hmah.
4 Thou shalt not make to thee an image, or any form, that is in the heavens above, —or that is in the earth beneath, —or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Van ranui ah kaom krang maw, to tih ai boeh loe long tlim ah kaom krang maw, to tih ai boeh loe tui thungah kaom hmuen hoi kanghmong, kawbaktih krang doeh sah hmah;
5 thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them—For, I, Yahweh, thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, unto three [generations] and, unto four, of them that hate me;
nihcae hmaa ah akuep o hmah loe, bok o hmah; na Angraeng Sithaw, Kai loe ut panoek Sithaw ah ka oh moe, kai hnuma ampanawk ih zaehaih pongah, a caanawk adung thumto hoi palito karoek to thuitaekkung ah ka oh.
6 but shewing lovingkindness unto thousands [of generations], —of them who love me, and keep my commandments.
Toe kai palung moe, ka thuih ih lok pazui kaminawk loe a caanawk ih adung sangto pong kapop adung khoek to amlunghaih patuekkung ah ka oh.
7 Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God for falsehood, for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood.
Avang ai ah na Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin to patoh hmah; anih ih ahmin tidoeh na ai ah patoh rumram kami loe, Angraeng mah anih to khen sut mak ai.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to hallow it:
Sabbath ni to ciimsak hanah pakuem poe ah.
9 Six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
Ni tarukto thung toksah ah, na tok to sah boih ah.
10 but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beast, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates,
Toe ni sarihto naah loe, na Angraeng Sithaw ih Sabbath niah oh; to niah loe tih tok doeh sah hmah; nangmah doeh, na capa doeh, na canu doeh, na tamna nongpa doeh, na tamna nongpata doeh, na tawnh ih moinawk hoi na khongkha thungah kaom angvin doeh toksak o han om ai;
11 For, in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, [and] the sea—and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day, —for this cause, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
Angraeng mah ni tarukto thung van hoi long, tuipui hoi a thungah kaom hmuennawk boih to sak moe, ni sarihto naah loe anghak; to pongah Angraeng mah Sabbath ni to tahamhoihaih paek moe, ciimcaisak.
12 Honour thy father, and thy mother, —that thy days may be prolonged upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee.
Nam no hoi nam pa khingya ah; to tih nahaeloe Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih, prae thungah hinglung na sawk tih.
13 Thou shalt not commit murder.
Kami hum hmah.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zaehaih sah hmah.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
Paqu hmah.
16 Thou shalt not testify against thy neighbour, with a witness of falsehood.
Na imtaeng kami nuiah amsawn hnukung ah angdoe hmah.
17 Thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s house, —thou shalt not covet, thy neighbour’s wife nor his servant nor his handmaid nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything which belongeth unto thy neighbour.
Na imtaeng kami ih im to khit hmah; na imtaeng kami ih zu to khit hmah, to tih ai boeh loe anih ih tamna nongpa, to tih ai boeh loe anih ih tamna nongpata, anih ih maitaw doeh, anih ih laa hrang doeh, na imtaeng kami ih kawbaktih hmuen doeh khit hmah, tiah lok a paek.
18 And, all the people, were witnessing the voices and the torches, and the sound of the horn, and the mountain smoking, —so then the people were struck with awe and shrank back, and stood afar off.
Khopazih tuen, tangphrapuekhaih hoi mongkah lok to kaminawk mah thaih o, mae thung hoi tacawt hmaikhue to a hnuk o naah, angnawn o moe, kangthla ah angdoet o.
19 And they said unto Moses, Speak, thou, with us, and we will hear, —but let not God speak with us lest we die.
Mosi khaeah, Kaicae khae lok na thui ah, kang tahngaih pae o han; Sithaw mah kaicae khaeah lokthui hmah nasoe, ka dueh o moeng tih, tiah a naa o.
20 And Moses said unto the people—Do not fear, for to the end he may prove you, hath God come, —and to the end the reverence of him may be upon your faces that ye sin not.
Mosi mah kaminawk khaeah, Zii o hmah; mikhmai ah anih zithaih na tawnh o moe, zaehaih na sak o han ai ah, nangcae tanoek han ih Sithaw angzoh tathuk boeh, tiah a naa.
21 So then the people stood afar off, and, Moses, approached unto the thick gloom, where God was.
Kaminawk loe kangthla ah angdoet o, toe Mosi loe Sithaw ohhaih kathah parai tamai kamnum ohhaih bangah a caeh.
22 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Thus, shalt thou say, unto the sons of Israel, —Ye yourselves, have seen that out of the heavens, have I spoken with you.
To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Israel kaminawk khaeah, Kai mah van hoiah kang thuih ih lok to na hnuk o boeh, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
23 Ye shall not make [aught] beside me, —neither gods of silver, nor gods of gold, shall ye make to yourselves.
Kai nang bok o naah, nangmacae hanah sui sithaw doeh, sum kanglung sithaw doeh sah o hmah.
24 An altar of earth, shalt thou make to me, then shalt thou offer thereupon thine ascending-sacrifices and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen. In every place where I may mention my name, will I come in unto thee and will bless thee.
Kai hanah long hoiah hmaicam mae to sah ah loe, to long hmaicam nuiah hmai angbawnhaih, angdaeh angbawnhaih to tuu hoi maitaw taenawk hoiah sah ah; kai ih ahmin pakoehhaih ahmuen kruekah, nang khaeah kang zoh moe, tahamhoihaih kang paek han.
25 But if, an altar of stones, thou wilt make to me, thou shalt not build them hewn, —for as soon as thou hast lifted, thy sharp tool, thereupon, thou hast profaned it;
Kai hanah thlung hmaicam to na sak nahaeloe, thuk ih thlung kangphaek nuiah hmaicam to sah hmah; thlung kangphaek thukhaih sum to na phok tahang naah, hmaicam to nam hnongsak ah oh boeh.
26 neither shalt thou go up, by steps unto mine altar, —lest by any means thy shame be discovered thereupon.
Bangkrai ah na ohhaih amtueng han ai ah, hmaicam ranui ah dawhhaih thlak to sah hmah, tiah a naa.
