Exodus 24

1 He said to Moses, “Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

Moses taengah, “Namah neh Aaron, Nadab, Abihu neh Israel khuikah a ham rhoek sawmrhih te BOEIPA taengah ha mop lamtah lakhla la bakop uh saeh.

2 Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”

Tedae Moses amah bueng te BOEIPA taengah mop saeh. Amih te mop uh boel saeh lamtah pilnam khaw a taengla cet uh boel saeh,” a ti nah.

3 Moses came and told the people all Yahweh’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do.”

Te phoeiah Moses te cet tih BOEIPA ol boeih neh laitloeknah boeih te pilnam taengah a thui pah. Pilnam pum loh ol pakhat la a doo uh tih, “BOEIPA loh a thui ol te boeih ngai uh sih,” a ti uh.

4 Moses wrote all Yahweh’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

Moses loh BOEIPA ol te boeih a daek. Mincang ah thoo tih tlang hmuiah hmueihtuk neh Israel koca hlai nit kah kaam hlai nit a suem.

5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

Te phoeiah Israel ca cadong te a tueih tih hmueihhlutnah te a khuen uh. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah rhoepnah hmueih la vaito a nawn uh.

6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

Moses loh thii rhakthuem te a loh tih baeldung dongah a khueh tih thii rhakthuem te hmueihtuk a haeh thil.

7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that Yahweh has said, and be obedient.”

Te phoeiah paipi cabu a loh tih pilnam kah hna ah a tae. Te dongah, “BOEIPA kah a thui boeih te ka saii uh vetih ka hnatun uh bitni,” a ti uh.

8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words.”

Te phoeiah Moses loh thii te a loh tih pilnam a haeh thil. Te vaengah, “Paipi thii he BOEIPA loh he ol cungkuem neh nangmih taengah a saii coeng ne,” a ti.

9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

Te phoeiah Moses neh Aaron, Nadab neh Abihu neh Israel kah a hamca sawmrhih rhoek te koep cet uh.

10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

Te vaengah Israel Pathen kah a kho hmui te minhum laiboeng kutngo bangla, vaan khocil phek la a hmuh uh.

11 He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

Tedae Israel ca hlangcong rhoek te a kut thueng thil pawh. Te dongah Pathen a hmuh uh lalah a caak uh tih a ok uh bal pueng.

12 Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”

Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Tlang soah kamah taengla ha luei lamtah pahoi om laeh. Amih thuinuet ham olkhueng neh olpaek ka daek thil lungto cabael te nang taengah kam pae eh?,” a ti nah.

13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.

Te dongah Moses neh a taengah aka thotat Joshua tah thoo tih Moses te Pathen kah tlang dongla luei.

14 He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”

A hamca rhoek te khaw, “Nangmih taengla ka mael hil he ah he kai n'rhing uh. Aaron neh Hur khaw nangmih taengah om ngawn he ne. U khaw Olka dongah laikung long tah amih rhoi taengla mop saeh,” a ti nah.

15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

Moses te tlang la a luei van neh cingmai loh tlang te a thing.

16 Yahweh’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.

BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah Sinai tlang ah pai tih cingmai loh hnin rhuk a dah. A hnin rhih dongah tah Moses te cingmai khui lamloh a khue.

17 The appearance of Yahweh’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

BOEIPA thangpomnah mueimae khaw Israel ca rhoek kah mik ah tah tlang som aka hlawp hmai bangla tueng.

18 Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Te vaengah Moses te cingmai khui la kun tih tlang la luei. Moses te tlang ah khothaih sawmli neh khoyin sawmli om.
