1 HUAB TAIS hais rau Mais Xes tias : “Nej tuaj cuag HUAB TAIS. Koj nrog As Loos, Nas Das, As Npis Hus thiab xya caum leej txwj laus Is Xas Lais, nej tuaj nyob nrug deb txhos caug pe hauv av. 2 Mais Xes ib leeg yuav txav los ze HUAB TAIS. Dua li cov yuav tsis txav los, tsoom pej xeem yuav tsis txhob nrog nej tuaj.”
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. 2 Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”
3 Mais Xes rov los hais HUAB TAIS cov lus thiab cov kev cai qhia rau tsoom pej xeem, tas sawv daws pom zoo koom ib lub suab teb tias : “Cov lus uas HUAB TAIS tau hais mas peb yuav coj tas huv tib si.”
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.”
4 Mais Xes muab HUAB TAIS cov lus sau rau hauv ib phau ntawv cia, ces tag kis, nws sawv ntxov, nws txhim ib lub thaj txi Ntuj rau ntawm taw roob thiab kaum ob tug ncej zeb rau kaum ob lub xeem Is Xas Lais. 5 Ces nws xa ib co tub hluas Is Xas Lais mus txi Ntuj, lawv coj tej tus thav nyuj mus hlawv txi rau HUAB TAIS. 6 Mais Xes cug cov tsiaj ntawd cov ntshav, nws muab ib nrab rau hauv phiab, nws muab ib nrab hliv ywg lub thaj txi Ntuj. 7 Ces nws muab phau ntawv cog lus los nyeem rau tsoom pej xeem mloog, lawv qw tias : “Txhua yam HUAB TAIS tau hais, peb yuav coj thiab peb yuav mloog.”
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. 5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh. 6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 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.”
8 Mais Xes txawm muab cov ntshav los nchos rau saum tsoom pej xeem sawv daws, nws hais tias : “Cov ntshav no yog ntshav cog lus, HUAB TAIS tau nrog nej cog lus raws li cov lus sau hauv phau ntawv.”
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.”
9 Ces Mais Xes nce mus saum roob, As Loos, Nas Das, As Npis Hus thiab xya caum leej txwj laus Is Xas Lais kuj nrog nws mus. 10 Lawv tau pom cov Is Xas Lais tus Tswv Ntuj. Nyob ntawm Tswv Ntuj qab xib taws, yog zoo li ib lub tiaj pov haum ntsuab xiab, tshiab cuag li lub ntuj ntsuab. 11 Tswv Ntuj tsis ua phem rau cov txwj laus Is Xas Lais. Lawv tau ntsia Tswv Ntuj, tau pom nws tseeb tseeb, lawv tseem noj mov thiab haus dej tib si.
9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up. 10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire† stone, like the skies for clearness. 11 He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
12 HUAB TAIS hais rau Mais Xes tias : “Koj nce tuaj ntsib kuv saum roob, koj yuav tuaj nyob ntev saud. Kuv yuav muab ob daim txiag zeb rau koj. Kuv yuav muab txoj cai thiab kuv cov lus qhia sau rau saum ob daim txiag zeb kom koj tau qhia rau tsoom tub ki Is Xas Lais.”
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.”
13 Mais Xes sawv, nws tus tub txib Yos Xuas nrog nws mus. Nkawd ob leeg nce mus saum Tswv Ntuj lub roob. 14 Mais Xes hais rau cov txwj laus tias : “Nej nyob ntawm no tos wb rov qab los txog tso, As Loos thiab Hwm nrog nej nyob. Yog leej twg muaj lus dab tsi, nej nrog nkawd hais.”
13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain. 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.”
15 Ces Mais Xes nce dua saum roob lawm. Pom twv huab ntsauv lub roob. 16 HUAB TAIS lub hwj chim tawm los nyob saum roob Xis Nais, ces huab los ntsauv lub roob tau rau hnub nkaus. Hnub xya, HUAB TAIS nyob hauv twv huab hu Mais Xes. 17 Cov Is Xas Lais pom HUAB TAIS lub hwj chim yog zoo li ib co hluav taws cig hlob hlob nyob saum lub ncov roob. 18 Mais Xes nkag hauv twv huab, nws nce mus saum roob lawm. Nws nyob saud plaub caug hnub plaub caug hmo.
15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. 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. 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. 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.
