¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, `Go, ascend from this [place], thou and the people, whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give it,`

¹Huan TOUPA'N Mosi kiang ah, Kuan inla, hiailai a kipan in paitou in, nang leh Aigupta gam a kipan a na pikhiak mite, Na suante kiang ah ko'n pe ding, chi a, Abraham kiang, Isaak kiang leh Jakob kiang a ka kichiamna gamah;

²(and I have sent before thee a messenger, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,)

²Huan na ma ah angel ka sawl ding; huchi in Kanan-te, Amor-te leh, Hit-te leh, Periz-te, Hiv-te leh Jebuste ka hawlkhe ding:

³unto a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in thy midst, for thou [art] a stiff-necked people — lest I consume thee in the way.`

³Gam bawngnawitui leh khuaizu a luang ah: kei na lak uah hohtou lou ding ka hih ziak in; mi genhakte na hih ziak un: huchi lou in zaw lampi ah ko'n hul kha ding hi, a chi.

⁴And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none put his ornaments on him.

⁴Huchi a mite'n huai tanchin hoihloute a zak un, a thuak uhi: huchi in kuamah a kivatna ua kivan a om kei uh.

⁵And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye [are] a stiff-necked people; one moment — I come up into thy midst, and have consumed thee; and now, put down thine ornaments from off thee, and I know what I do to thee;`

⁵TOUPA'N lah Mosi kiang ah, Israel suante kiang ah, Mi genhakte na hi uh: mitphial kal lou in na lak uah ka hongtou dia, ko'n hul ding: huaiziak in na tung ua bang ahia ka hih ding ka theihna ding in na kivatna uh suah un, chi in, a na chi ta ngal a.

⁶and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at mount Horeb.

⁶Huchi in Israel suante'n Horeb tang tang kiang ah a kivatnate uh a kisuah vek ta uhi.

⁷And Moses taketh the tent, and hath stretched it out at the outside of the camp, afar off from the camp, and hath called it, `Tent of Meeting;` and it hath come to pass, every one seeking Jehovah goeth out unto the tent of meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.

⁷Huan Mosi in puan inn a sut a, giahbuk po lam ah a kai a, giahbuk a kipan gamla pi ah, Kihoupihna puan inn, a chi hi. Huan hichi ahi a, michih TOUPA zongte kihoupihna puan inn, giahbuk po lam a om ah, a hoh uhi.

⁸And it hath come to pass, at the going out of Moses unto the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.

⁸Huan hichi ahi a, puan inn lam a Mosi a paikhiak lai in, mite a vek un a ding ua, michih a puan inn kongkhak bul ah a ding uh, huchi in puan inn a lut mateng Mosi a enzui uhi.

⁹And it hath come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud cometh down, and hath stood at the opening of the tent, and He hath spoken with Moses;

⁹Huan hichi ahi a, Mosi puan inn a a lut leh, meikhuam a hong kum a, puan inn kongkhak bul ah a ding a, huchi in TOUPA'N Mosi a houpih ta hi.

¹⁰and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.

¹⁰Huchi in mi tengteng in puan inn kongkhak bul a ding meikhuam a mu ua: huchi in mi tengteng a ding ua a bia uh, michih a puan inn kongkhak sung chiat uah.

¹¹And Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses face unto face, as a man speaketh unto his friend; and he hath turned back unto the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, departeth not out of the tent.

¹¹Huan TOUPA'N Mosi, mi'n a lawm a houpih bang mai in, kimaituah in a houpih ta hi. Huchi in giahbuk a nungngat a; himahleh a sikha Josua, Nun tapa, tangval, puan inn a kipan a paikhe kei.

¹²And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `See, Thou art saying unto me, Bring up this people, and Thou hast not caused me to know whom Thou dost send with me; and Thou hast said, I have known thee by name, and also thou hast found grace in Mine eyes.

¹²Huan Mosi in TOUPA kiang ah, En in, hiai mite hon pitou in no'n chi a: huan ka kiang a na sawl ding kua ahia non theisak kei. Hinapi in lah, Na min in ka hon thei a, ka mitmuh in hehpihna leng na mu hi, na chi ngal a.

¹³`And now, if, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, cause me to know, I pray Thee, Thy way, and I know Thee, so that I find grace in Thine eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Thy people;`

¹³Huaiziak in tu in, ka hon ngen hi, na mitmuh a hehpihna ka muh leh, ka hon theih a, na mitmuh a hehpihna ka muh theihna ding in, tu in na lampi hon en sak in: huan hiai nam na mite ahi chih ngaihsun in, a chi a.

¹⁴and He saith, `My presence doth go, and I have given rest to thee.`

¹⁴Huan aman, Ka ompihna nang toh a ton dia, khawlna kon pe ding hi, a chi a.

¹⁵And he saith unto Him, `If Thy presence is not going — take us not up from this [place];

¹⁵Huan aman a kiang ah, Na ompihna kei toh a ton kei ding leh, hiai a kipan in kou hon pitou ken.

¹⁶and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Thine eyes — I and Thy people — is it not in Thy going with us? and we have been distinguished — I and Thy people — from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.`

¹⁶A ziak, kei leh na mite’n hiai lai ah na mitmuh in hehpihna ka mu ta uh chih koi a kithei ding ahia? kou kiang ah na pai hi lou hia? huchi in leitung pumpi a teng mi tengteng a kipan in khen in ka om ding uh, kei leh na mite, a chi hi.

¹⁷And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Even this thing which thou hast spoken I do; for thou hast found grace in Mine eyes, and I know thee by name.`

¹⁷Huan TOUPA'N Mosi kiang ah, Hiai thil na gensa leng ka hih ding: ka mitmuh a hehpihna na muh a, min a nang ka hon theih ziak in, a chi hi.

¹⁸And he saith, `Shew me, I pray Thee, Thine honour;`

¹⁸Huan aman, Ka hon ngen hi, na thupina hon en sak in, a chi a.

¹⁹and He saith, `I cause all My goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I love.`

¹⁹Huan aman, Na ma ah ka hoihna tengteng ka pai sak dia, na ma ah TOUPA min ka tangkoupih ding: huan ka hehpihpih ka hehpih ding a, chitna ka etsaksak chitna ka ensak ding hi, a chi a.

²⁰He saith also, `Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;`

²⁰Huchi in aman, Ka mai na mu theikei ding: mi kei hon mu a, hing a omlouh ding ziak un, a chi a.

²¹Jehovah also saith, `Lo, a place [is] by Me, and thou hast stood on the rock,

²¹Huan TOUPA'N, En in, ka kiang ah mun a om, huchi in suangpi tungah na ding ding:

²²and it hath come to pass, in the passing by of Mine honour, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over thee, until My passing by,

²²Huan hichi ahi ding a; ka thupina in a hon khen sung in ka khut in ka hon khuh ding:Huan ka khut ka lamang dia, huchi in ka nung lam na mu ding: himahleh ka mai a kimukei ding, a chi a.

²³and I have turned aside My hands, and thou hast seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.`

²³Huan ka khut ka lamang dia, huchi in ka nung lam na mu ding: himahleh ka mai a kimukei ding, a chi a.
