¹And the people see that Moses is delaying to come down from the mount, and the people assemble against Aaron, and say unto him, `Rise, make for us gods who go before us, for this Moses — the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt — we have not known what hath happened to him.`

¹Tang akipana Mosi a hongpai suk pah louh miten a theih un, mite Aron kiangah a hongkikhawm khawm ua, a kiangah, Kisain, ka ma ua pai ding, pathiante honbawl sakin; hiai Mosi, Aigupta gam akipana honpi khepa lah, bang chita ahia ka thei ngal kei ua, a chi ua.

²And Aaron saith unto them, `Break off the rings of gold which [are] in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring in unto me;`

²Huan Aronin a kiang uah, Na jite uh bila om, natapate uh bila om, na tanute uh bila om, dangkaeng bilbahte khong khia unla, ka kiangah huaite hontawi un, a chi a.

³and all the people themselves break off the rings of gold which [are] in their ears, and bring in unto Aaron,

³Huchiin mite tengtengin a bil ua om dangkaeng bilbahte a khong khia ua, huaite Aron kiangah a tawi uhi.

⁴and he receiveth from their hand, and doth fashion it with a graving tool, and doth make it a molten calf, and they say, `These thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.`

⁴Huan aman a khut ua kipanin huaite a laa, bawngnou suna a bawl zohin, gelhna vanin a bawlta hi: huan Israel aw, hiaite na pathiante, Aigupta gama kipan a honlakhete hi uhen, a chi uh.

⁵And Aaron seeth, and buildeth an altar before it, and Aaron calleth, and saith, `A festival to Jehovah — to-morrow;`

⁵Aronin huai a muh takin, a maah maitam a bawla, huan Aronin thuphuanna a neia, Jingchiang TOUPA dia ankuangluina ahi, a chi a.

⁶and they rise early on the morrow, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and bring nigh peace-offerings; and the people sit down to eat and to drink, and rise up to play.

⁶Huchiin a jingin beltakin a thou ua, halmang thillat a lan ua, lemna thillat a tawi uh: huan mite ne ding leh dawn dingin a tu ua, mawl dingin a ding uh.

⁷And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go, descend, for thy people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt hath done corruptly,

⁷Huan TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Paiin, kumsukin, na mi Aigupta gama kipana na pi khiakte, a kihihsiat jiakun:

⁸they have turned aside hastily from the way that I have commanded them; they have made for themselves a molten calf, and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.`

⁸Amau ka lampi hilhna akipanin a pial pah manhial uhi: bawngnou sun a kibawl ua, huai a bia ua, huaia kithoihin, Israel aw, hiaite na pathiante, Aigupta gama kipana honkhete hi uhen, a chi uh, a chi a.

⁹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `I have seen this people, and lo, it [is] a stiff-necked people;

⁹Huan TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Hiai mite ka mutaa, ngaiin, mi genhakte ahi uh:

¹⁰and now, let Me alone, and My anger doth burn against them, and I consume them, and I make thee become a great nation.`

¹⁰Huaijiakin tuin a tung ua ka thangpaihna a puah jaka, amaute ka hul theihna dingin honomsak maimai un: huchiin nam thupiin ka honbawl ding a chi a.

¹¹And Moses appeaseth the face of Jehovah his God, and saith, `Why, O Jehovah, doth Thine anger burn against Thy people, whom Thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?

¹¹Huan Mosiin TOUPA a Pathian a ngena, TOUPA, thilhihtheihna thupi leh, ban thahata Aigupta gama kipana na pi khiaksa, na mite tungah bang dinga na thangpaihna puakjak ding ahia?

¹²why do the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil He brought them out to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from off the face of the ground? turn back from the heat of Thine anger, and repent of the evil against Thy people.

¹²Bangdingin ahia Aiguptaten thu gena, Siatna dinga amau pi khia eive, tangtea amau that ding leh, lei tengtenga kipana amaute hul dingin? chiin, Na thangpaihna thupi la kik inla, na mite tunga hiai gilou kikhel sakin.

¹³`Be mindful of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, Thy servants, to whom Thou hast sworn by Thyself, and unto whom Thou speakest: I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens, and all this land, as I have said, I give to your seed, and they have inherited to the age;`

¹³A kiang ua, Vana aksite bangin na suante ka puangsak dinga, na suante kianga a thu ka gensa hiai gam tengteng ka honpe ding, huchiin khantawnin a luah ding uh, a chi a, nangmah ngeia na kichiamna, na sikhate, Abraham, Isaak leh Jakob theigigein, a chi hi.

¹⁴and Jehovah repenteth of the evil which He hath spoken of doing to His people.

¹⁴Huchiin a mite tunga gilou hih dinga a ngaihtuah TOUPAN a kikhel sakta hi.

¹⁵And Moses turneth, and goeth down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony [are] in his hand, tables written on both their sides, on this and on that [are] they written;

¹⁵Huan Mosi a kiheia, tang akipan a pai sukta, a khutah theihpihna suangpek nihte a om: suang pekte a langnih tuaka gelh ahi, khat lam leh langkhat lama gelh ahi uh.

¹⁶and the tables are the work of God, and the writing is the writing of God, graven on the tables.

¹⁶Suangpekte Pathian thilhih ahi a, a gelhte leng Pathian gelh ahi, suangpekte tunga gelhte.

¹⁷And Joshua heareth the voice of the people in their shouting, and saith unto Moses, `A noise of battle in the camp!`

¹⁷Huchia Joshuain mite akikou husa uh a jakin Mosi kiangah, Giahbuk ah kidouna husa a om, a chi a.

¹⁸and he saith, `It is not the voice of the crying of might, nor is it the voice of the crying of weakness — a voice of singing I am hearing.`

¹⁸Huan a man, Tungnun kithua kikou te aw ahi keia, nuaisiaha om jiaka kapte aw leng ahi sam kei: lasate husa ahi jaw ka jak, a chi a.

¹⁹And it cometh to pass, when he hath drawn near unto the camp, that he seeth the calf, and the dancing, and the anger of Moses burneth, and he casteth out of his hands the tables, and breaketh them under the mount;

¹⁹Huan hichi ahi a, giahbuk kiang a hongtun takin, bawngnou leh lam a mutaa: huchiin Mosi hehna a sou a, a khuta kipanin suangpekte a paia, tangnuaiah a keksakta hi.

²⁰and he taketh the calf which they have made, and burneth [it] with fire, and grindeth until [it is] small, and scattereth on the face of the waters, and causeth the sons of Israel to drink.

²⁰Huan a bawngnou bawl uh a laa, meiah a khula, a gawi nena, tui tungah a theha Israel suante a dawnsak hi.

²¹And Moses saith unto Aaron, `What hath this people done to thee, that thou hast brought in upon it a great sin?`

²¹Huan Mosiin Aron kiangah, Hiai miten bang ahia na kianga a hih uh, a tung ua hichitela khelhna thupi na tun sak? a chi a.

²²and Aaron saith, `Let not the anger of my lord burn; thou — thou hast known the people that it [is] in evil;

²²Huan Aronin, Ka pu hehna puak jak kei hen: mite na thei hi, siatna a zon dan uh.

²³and they say to me, Make for us gods, who go before us, for this Moses — the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt — we have not known what hath happened to him;

²³Ka ma ua pai ding, pathiante honbawl sakin: hiai Mosi Aigupta gama kipana honpi khetoupa lah, bang suakta ahia ka thei ngal kei ua, ka kianga a chih jiak un.

²⁴and I say to them, Whoso hath gold, let them break [it] off, and they give to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf cometh out.`

²⁴Huchiin ken a kiang uah, Dangkaeng neipeuhin, khong khia un, ka chi a. Huchiin amau kei a honpia ua: huan ken mei ah ka khiaa, huan hiai bawngnou a hongsuakta hi, a chi a.

²⁵And Moses seeth the people that it [is] unbridled, for Aaron hath made it unbridled for contempt among its withstanders,

²⁵Huan, Mosi in mite vuaktang a om a muh in; Aron in lah a melmate uh lak a a zahlakna ding un, amau a vuaktang sak ngal a:

²⁶and Moses standeth in the gate of the camp, and saith, `Who [is] for Jehovah? — unto me!` and all the sons of Levi are gathered unto him;

²⁶Huailai in giahbuk kongpi ah Mosi a ding a, TOUPA lam a pang kua ahia? ka kiang ah hong pai heh, a chi a. Huan, a kiang ah Levi tate tengteng a kikhawmkhawm ta uh.

²⁷and he saith to them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Put each his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from gate to gate through the camp, and slay each his brother, and each his friend, and each his relation.`

²⁷Huan aman a kiang uah, Israel TOUPA Pathian in hichi in a chi, Michih in a pang ah a namsau kuah henla, giahbuk tuansuak in kongpi khat a kipan kongpi dang ah, lut in pawt henla, michih in a sanggampa that henla, michih in a lawmpa, michih in a innveng, chi in.

²⁸And the sons of Levi do according to the word of Moses, and there fall of the people on that day about three thousand men,

²⁸Huan Levi tate’n Mosi thu dungzui in a hih ta uh: huchi in huai ni in mite lak ah mi sangthum khawng a puk uh.

²⁹and Moses saith, `Consecrate your hand to-day to Jehovah, for a man [is] against his son, and against his brother, so as to bring on you to-day a blessing.`

²⁹Mosi in lah, Tuni in TOUPA lam ah kihih siangthou un, michih a tapa tungah leh, a unaupa tungah; tuni a na tung ua vualzawlna a honpiak theihna ding in, a na chi ta ngal a.

³⁰And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Moses saith unto the people, `Ye — ye have sinned a great sin, and now I go up unto Jehovah, if so be I atone for your sin.`

³⁰Huan a zing in hichi ahi a, Mosi in mite kiang ah, Khelhna thupi na khial ta uh: huchi in tu in TOUPA kiang ah ka hohtou dia; na khelhna uh a ding in lemna ka bawl khamai ding, achi a.

³¹And Moses turneth back unto Jehovah, and saith, `Oh this people hath sinned a great sin, that they make to themselves a god of gold;

³¹Huan Mosi TOUPA kiang ah a kik nawn a, Aw, hiai mite'n khelhna thupi a khial uh, dangka-eng pathiante a kibawl ta uh

³²and now, if Thou takest away their sin — and if not — blot me, I pray thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.`

³²Ahi a lah tu in, a khelhna uh na ngaihdam leh; na ngaihdam kei ding leh, na gelhsa na laibu a kipan, hon siakmang in, ko'n ngen hi, achi a.

³³And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Whoso hath sinned against Me — I blot him out of My book;

³³Huan TOUPA'N Mosi kiang ah, Kuapeuh ka tung a khial, huai ka laibu a kipan ka siakmang ding.

³⁴and now, go, lead the people whithersoever I have spoken to thee of; lo, My messenger goeth before thee, and in the day of my charging — then I have charged upon them their sin.`

³⁴Huaiziak in tu innkuan inla, na kiang a ka genna mun ah mite pi in: ngai in, na ma ah ka Angel a pai ding: akoi-abang hileh ka veh ni chiang in a tunguah a khelhna uh ka veh ding, achi hi.Huchi in Aron bawl bawngnou a bawl ziak un, TOUPA'N mite a gawt ta.

³⁵And Jehovah plagueth the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.

³⁵Huchi in Aron bawl bawngnou a bawl ziak un, TOUPA'N mite a gawt ta.
