1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai. 2 When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain. 3 Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: 4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7 Mais Xes thiaj hu cov txwj laus saib tsoom pej xeem tuaj, nws qhia lawv tas puas tsav yam uas HUAB TAIS tau hais rau nws. 8 Ces tas tsoom pej xeem sawv daws pom zoo ua ib lub suab teb tias : “Tas puas tsav yam HUAB TAIS tau hais, mas peb yuav ua tib si.”
7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him. 8 All the people answered together, and said, “All that Yahweh has spoken we will do.”
Mais Xes qhia tsoom pej xeem cov lus rau HUAB TAIS. 9 HUAB TAIS hais rau Mais Xes tias : “Kuv yuav tuaj ntsib koj saum ib tauv huab tuab tuab tsaus nti, kom cov neeg hnov kuv nrog koj hais lus, ces lawv thiaj yuav ntseeg koj mus li.” Ces Mais Xes qhia tsoom pej xeem cov lus rau HUAB TAIS. 10 HUAB TAIS hais rau Mais Xes tias : “Koj mus ntsib tsoom pej xeem, koj hais rau lawv kom hnub no thiab tag kis, lawv tu lawv kom lawv dawb huv ntshiab si, kom lawv ntxhua lawv cov ris tsho, 11 lawv ua tas puas tsav yam kom tiav tos nag kis, vim nag kis, HUAB TAIS yuav nqes los rau tsoom pej xeem txhua tus pom nyob saum lub roob Xis Nais. 12 Koj yuav tu ciam rau cov neeg kom txhob hla mus saum lub ncov roob, koj hais li no : ‘Nej yuav tsis txhob nce mus saum lub ncov roob li, tab yog txav ze xwb los tsis tau. Leej twg mus chwv lub ncov roob, mas tus ntawd yuav tuag. 13 Yuav tsis pub leej twg tsa tes tua tus neeg ntawd, yuav tsum xuas pob zeb txawb los yog xuas hneev tua nws xwb. Txawm yog neeg los yog tus tsiaj kuj xij, nws yuav tsum tuag.’ Thaum lub hom nrov ib suab ntev ntev, mas thaum ntawd txog caij cov neeg pib nce mus saum roob.”
Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh. 9 Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh. 10 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments, 11 and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai. 12 You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death. 13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
14 Ces Mais Xes nqes saum roob los, nws mus cuag tsoom pej xeem. Nws hais sawv daws kom tu cev huv. Ces lawv thiaj ntxhua lawv tej ris tsho huv si. 15 Mais Xes hais rau tsoom pej xeem hais tias : “Nej npaj siab tos neeg kis, nej tsis txhob nrog poj niam pw.”
14 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 15 He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
16 Neeg kis kaj ntug, thaum sawv ntxov, xob quaj nroo ntws thiab xob laim saum roob tuaj, muaj ib tauv huab tsaus nti ntsauv lub roob. Sawv daws hnov ib lub suab hom nrov muaj zog kawg, hos nyob hauv lub yeej, tsoom pej xeem sawv daws ntshai tshee na. 17 Mais Xes hais kom sawv daws tawm hauv yeej mus, yuav mus ntsib Tswv Ntuj, ces sawv daws mus nyob nram taw roob. 18 Lub roob Xis Nais ncho pa lug, vim HUAB TAIS txia ua hluav taws nqes los nyob saud. Pa taws ncho lug cuag li tawm hauv ib lub qhov txos loj los, hos tas lub roob co qeeg nkaws ua zog koog. 19 Hnov lub suab hom nrov loj zuj zus tuaj, Mais Xes hais lus rau Tswv Ntuj, Tswv Ntuj teb hauv lub suab xob nroo tuaj. 20 HUAB TAIS nqes los nyob saum lub roob Xis Nais, saum lub ncov roob. HUAB TAIS hu Mais Xes kom mus cuag nws, ces Mais Xes nce mus saum lub ncov roob.
16 On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled. 17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain. 18 All of Mount Sinai smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice. 20 Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish. 22 Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break out on them.”
23 Moses said to Yahweh, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’ ”
24 Yahweh said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break out against them.”
25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
