¹In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai,

¹Aigupta gam akipan Israel suante a pai khiak lai uh; a kha thumnain, huai ni mahin Sinai gamdai a hongtung uh.

²and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there before the mount.

²Rephidim akipana pawt khiain, Sinai gamdai hongtungun, gamdai ah a giak ua; huchiin huailaiah Israelten tang majawn ah puanin a kaita uhi.

³And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, `Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel,

³Huan Mosi Pathian kiangah ahoh toua, huchiin TOUPAN tang akipanin amah a sama, Hichibangin Jakob inkuanpihte kiangah na chi dia, Israel suante na hilh ding:

⁴Ye — ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and I bear you on eagles` wings, and bring you in unto Myself.

⁴Aiguptate tunga ka hih na muta ua, muvanlai khaa kon tuah a keimah kiang ngeia kon tut dan.

⁵`And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth [is] Mine;

⁵Huaijiakin tuin, ka aw na man taktak ua, ka thukhun na zuih taktak uleh, huchiin mite sangin kei dingin nou gou lamdang na hi ding uh lei tengteng keia a hih jiakin;

⁶and ye — ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these [are] the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.`

⁶Huan kei dingin siampute lalgam leh nam siangthou na hi ding uh. Hiai thute Israel suante kianga na gen dingte ahi uh, chiin.

⁷And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him;

⁷Huchiin Mosi a honga mite upate a samsaka, TOUPAN amah a piak hiai thute tengteng amai ma uah a luita hi.

⁸and all the people answer together and say, `All that Jehovah hath spoken we do;` and Moses returneth the words of the people unto Jehovah.

⁸Huan mite tengtengin kituakin a dawng ua, TOUPA tungen tengteng ka hih ding uh, a chita uhi. Huchiin Mosiin mite thu TOUPA lakah a tun nawn hi.

⁹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am coming unto thee in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with thee, and also believe in thee to the age;` and Moses declareth the words of the people unto Jehovah.

⁹Huchiin TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Ngaiin na kiang ah meipi sahin ka hong, huchia na kianga thu ka gen chianga miten a jak theih ua, chiklai peuh a nang a hon gintak theihna ding un, a chi a. Huan, Mosiin mite thu TOUPA a hilh a.

¹⁰And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go unto the people; and thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have washed their garments,

¹⁰Huan TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Mite kiangah hoh inla tuni leh jingchiang adingin amaute siangsakin, a puante uh sawp uhen.

¹¹and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day doth Jehovah come down before the eyes of all the people, on mount Sinai.

¹¹A nithumni adingin mansain om uhenla: a ni thum nia mite tengteng muha Sinai tang tunga TOUPA a hongpai suk ding jiakin.

¹²`And thou hast made a border [for] the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mount, or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mount is certainly put to death;

¹²Huan mite kimvel ah dai na kai dia, tang a hoh tou lou dingin pilvang un, ahihkeileh tang kim khoihlou dingin pilvang un: kuapeuhmah tang khoih sihsaka om ngeingei ding uh ahi:

¹³a hand cometh not against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man it liveth not; in the drawing out of the jubilee cornet they go up into the mount.`

¹³Khut peumahin a lawng ding ahi kei, suanga den lupin a om zo ngeingei ding, ahihkeileh kap pailetin; sa hiam mi hiam hi zong leh, a hing kei ding: pengkul sawtpi a gin chiangin, tanga a hong touh ding uh ahi, a chi hi.

¹⁴And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;

¹⁴Huchiin tanga kipanin mite kiangah Mosi a pai suka; huan a puante uh a sawp uhi.

¹⁵and he saith unto the people, `Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto a woman.`

¹⁵Huan aman mite kiangah, Ni thum nia dingin mansain om unla: numei naihin hong kei un, a chi a.

¹⁶And it cometh to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud, on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet very strong; and all the people who [are] in the camp do tremble.

¹⁶Huchiin a ni thum niin jingsangin hichi ahi a, vanpi gingte leh khophiate, tang tunga meipi sah, pengkul aw a ngaih a ngaih ahongomtaa, huchiin giahbuk sunga om mite tengteng a lingta uhi.

¹⁷And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount,

¹⁷Huan Mosiin giahbuk akipanin mite Pathian toh kimu dingin a honpi khiaa; amau tang nuailamah a ding uh.

¹⁸and mount Sinai [is] wholly a smoke from the presence of Jehovah, who hath come down on it in fire, and its smoke goeth up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mount trembleth exceedingly;

¹⁸Huan TOUPA meia tang tunga a hongkum jiakin Sinai tang a pum khut vekta hi: huan huaia meikhu meipi khu bangin a tungkaha, huchiin a tang pumpi a ling zungzung.

¹⁹and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice.

¹⁹Huan sawtpi pengkul aw a gina a ngaih semsem laiin Mosiin thu a gena, huan awin Pathianin amah a dawng hi.

²⁰And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up.

²⁰Huchiin Sinai tang tungah TOUPA a hongpai suka, a tang vum tungah: huan a tang vum tungah TOUPAN Mosi a sam tou a; Mosi a hoh tou.

²¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them have fallen;

²¹Huan TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Pai suk inla, mite hilhin, en dingin TOUPA lam a honphu vang kha un, huchiin a lak ua tampi a mangthang kha ding uh.

²²and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.`

²²TOUPA kianga hongpai, siampute leng, kihihsiangthou uhen, huchilouin jaw a tunguah TOUPA a puakjak kha ding, a chi hi.

²³And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `The people [is] unable to come up unto mount Sinai, for Thou — Thou hast protested to us, saying, Make a border [for] the mount, then thou hast sanctified it.`

²³Huan Mosiin TOUPA kiangah, Sinai tangah mite a hong tou theikei ding uh: Tang kimvelin dai kai inla, hihsiangthouin chia, non hilh jiakin, a chi a.

²⁴And Jehovah saith unto him, `Go, descend, then thou hast come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; and the priests and the people do not break through, to come up unto Jehovah, lest He break forth upon them.`

²⁴Huan TOUPAN akiangah, Pai in, kum sukin, na hong tou dinga, nang leh Aron na kiangah: ahihhangin siampute leh mite TOUPA kianga hong dingin honphu vang kei uhen, huchilouin jaw amaute tungah a puakjak kha ding, a chi a.Huchiin Mosi mite kiangah a hoh suka, a kiang uah thu a genta hi.

²⁵And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them: —

²⁵Huchiin Mosi mite kiangah a hoh suka, a kiang uah thu a genta hi.
