1 Oe Isarelnaw nangmouh ni na hring awh teh, mintoenaw ni a bawk e BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram na coe thai awh nahan, na sak awh hane kai ni na cangkhai e phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw thai awh haw.
Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do them, that you may live and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, gives you.
2 Kai ni kâ na poe e lawknaw dawk, bout na thap awh mahoeh. Na rayu awh mahoeh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut e kâpoelawknaw hah na tarawi awh han.
You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
3 Cathut ni Baalpeor kecu a sak e hah nangmouh ni na mit hoi na hmu awh toe. Baalpeor kângue pueng nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh thung hoi be a raphoe toe.
Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal Peor; for the LORD your God has destroyed all the men who followed Baal Peor from among you.
4 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut dawk kângue e pueng teh, sahnin ditouh na hring awh.
But you who were faithful to the LORD your God are all alive today.
5 Nangmouh ni na cei awh vaiteh na coe hane ram dawk na sak awh hane kaie BAWIPA Cathut ni kâ na poe e patetlah, kai ni phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw na cangkhai awh toe.
Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do so in the middle of the land where you go in to possess it.
6 Hatdawkvah, hotnaw hah tarawi awh. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, phunglawk ka thai e tami pueng e hmalah nangmae lungangnae hoi panuenae a kamnue han. Ahnimouh ni hete miphunpui teh, lungangnae hoi panuenae hoi ka kawi e miphun katang doeh telah ati awh han.
Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who shall hear all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
7 Maimouh ni ratoum na pueng koe maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni na khet na yawt teh, na pahrennae coe e patetlah alouke cathut ni pahren e miphun apimouh kaawm boi.
For what great nation is there that has a god so near to them as the LORD our God is whenever we call on him?
8 Kai ni sahnin nangmouh koe ka ta e kâlawk patetlah, phunglawk hoi kalan lah lawkcengnae ka tawn e miphun kalen, apimouh kaawm.
What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I set before you today?
9 Nangmouh ni Horeb mon van na Cathut hmalah, na kangdue awh navah na mit hoi na hmu awh e naw hah pahnim payon avai. Na hringyung thung na pâkuem thai awh nahan, namamouh kâhruetcuet awh. Kâyawm lahoi tarawi awh. Hotnaw hah na catounnaw hai cangkhai awh.
Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—
10 Hatnavah BAWIPA ni, taminaw kai koe kamkhueng sak haw. Ahnimouh ni talai van a hring na thung kai na taki thai awh nahan a catounnaw a cangkhai sak nahanelah ka lawk hah na thaisak han telah kai koe a dei e patetlah,
the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, “Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.”
11 Nangmouh ni rek na tho awh teh mon khok koe na kamkhueng awh. Hatnavah, monsom hmai a kak teh kalvan lungui teh duktamang, tâmai hoi akawi teh duk a kamthim.
You came near and stood under the mountain. The mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
12 BAWIPA Cathut ni hmai thung hoi na pato, nangmouh ni a mei na hmawt laipalah lawk duengdoeh na thai awh.
The LORD spoke to you out of the middle of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice.
13 Nangmouh ni na tarawi awh hane kâpoelawk 10 touh hah a dei teh, lungphen 2 touh dawk a thut.
He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments. He wrote them on two stone tablets.
14 Nangmouh ni na cei awh teh na coe awh hane ram dawk na sak awh hane nangmouh koe na cangkhai e phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw hai Cathut ni kai koe kâ na poe.
The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.
15 Horeb vah Cathut ni, hmai thung hoi nangmouh koe lawk a dei navah bang e meilam hai na hmu awh hoeh dawkvah,
Be very careful, for you saw no kind of form on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the middle of the fire,
16 Nangmouh ni tami napui tongpa mei
lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself a carved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17 Talai van kaawm e saring mei, kalvan kamleng e tava mei,
the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
18 Talai dawk vonpui hoi kâva e saring mei, talai thung tui dawk e tanga mei, hoi kâvan e kutsak hah, nangmouh ni bout na kamlang sin awh teh, namamouh han na sak hoeh nahanelah,
the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
19 Kalvan lah na khet teh, Kanî, Thapa, Âsinaw tie kalvan e hno pueng na hmu navah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni, kalvan rahim kaawm e tami pueng koe a poe e hote hnonaw hah, na bawk awh nahane alouke taminaw ni na pasawt thai awh hoeh nahanelah, namahoima kâhruetcuet awh.
and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.
20 Nangmouh teh sahnin e patetlah BAWIPA Cathut e râw ka coe e miphun lah na o sak nahan, nangmouh teh Izip ram sum thawngnae takhuen koehoi na tâcokhai awh toe.
But the LORD has taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as it is today.
21 Hot dueng laipalah, nangmouh kecu dawk, kai koe Cathut a lungkhuek, Jordan tui namran lah rakat laipalah, na coe awh hane Cathut ni na poe e ram thung vah kâen hoeh nahanelah lawk a kam toe.
Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance;
22 Hatdawkvah, hete ram dawk ka due han toe. Jordan tui ka rakat mahoeh nangmouh ni na raka awh vaiteh hote kahawipoung e ram na coe awh han.
but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.
23 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh koe na ta pouh e lawkkam na pahnim awh teh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni a cakâ e kutsak na sak awh hoeh nahan, namahoima kâhruetcuet awh.
Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.
24 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut teh ka kang e hmai, dipma Cathut doeh.
For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
25 Nangmouh ni na mincanaw na sak awh teh, hote ram dawk moikasawlah na o awh hnukkhu, koung na rawk awh teh buetbuet touh e mei hoi kâlat lah kutsak na sak awh teh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut a lung hoe na khuek sak awh pawiteh,
When you father children and children’s children, and you have been long in the land, and then corrupt yourselves, and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight to provoke him to anger,
26 Jordan tui na raka awh teh na coe awh hane ram thung vah, a ro hoehnahlan na kahma awh han. Moikasawlah kho na sak awh laipalah, khoeroe na kahmakata awh han telah nangmae kong dawk na ka panuek khai e lah sahnin kalvan hoi talai ka palaw.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from off the land which you go over the Jordan to possess it. You will not prolong your days on it, but will utterly be destroyed.
27 Cathut ni hai nangmouh teh Jentelnaw koe alouklouk lah na kâkapek sak vaiteh, hrek lah kaawm e Jentelnaw koe youn touh na cawi awh han.
The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will lead you away.
28 Hote hmuen dawk, tami kut hoi sak e, hmawt thai hoeh, thai thai hoeh, cat thai hoeh, a hmui ka thai thai hoeh e thing cathut, talung cathutnaw hah nangmouh ni na bawk awh han.
There you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29 Hateiteh, hote hmuen dawk nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah bout tawng han na ngai awh toteh, lungthin abuemlahoi na tawng awh pawiteh na hmu awh han.
But from there you shall seek the LORD your God, and you will find him when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30 Nangmouh ni hmalae tueng dawk, rucatnae na khang awh toteh, hete hnonaw puenghoi na kâhmo awh navah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut koe lah bout na ban awh teh, lawk na tarawi awh pawiteh,
When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to the LORD your God and listen to his voice.
31 nangmae Cathut teh pahrennae ka tawn e lah ao dawkvah, nangmanaw na pahnawt awh mahoeh, na raphoe awh mahoeh, lawk a kam e pahnim mahoeh.
For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not fail you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
32 Cathut ni talai dawk tami sak kamtawng hoi nangmouh na o hoehnahlan kaloum tangcoung e atueng dawk e hnonaw pueng hah, kalvan apoutnae koehoi avanglah apoutnae koe totouh pacei awh. Hettelah e kalenpounge hno kaawm boi na ou. Het patetlah e hno kamthang thai boi awh na ou.
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as great as this thing is, or has been heard like it?
33 Cathut ni hmai thung hoi a dei e lawk nangmouh ni na thai awh e patetlah alouke miphun ni a thai teh hloutnae a coe awh boi na ou.
Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
34 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni, Izip ram nangmae hmalah a sak e patetlah mitnout panuenae hoi, kângairu hnonaw a saknae, kâtuknae a phasaknae, thaonae kut dâwnae, taki ka tho e vision a sak e lahoi, alouke cathut ni a cei teh, miphun buet touh koehoi buet touh ama hanelah ouk a la boi ou.
Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from among another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35 BAWIPA Cathut lah a onae hai thoseh, BAWIPA hoeh laipalah teh alouke cathut a ohoehnae hai thoseh, nangmouh na panue sak hanelah, hotnaw hah nangmouh koe a kamnue sak.
It was shown to you so that you might know that the LORD is God. There is no one else besides him.
36 Nangmouh na cangkhai awh teh, kalvan hoi lawk na thaisak toe. Talai van vah kalenpounge hmai hai na hmu sak teh, hmai thung hoi lawk hah na thai awh toe.
Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you. On earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the middle of the fire.
37 Nangmae mintoenaw ka pahren dawkvah, a catoun hah ka rawi toe.
Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their offspring after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;
38 Nangmouh hlak a tha a sai awh vaiteh, kapap poung e miphunnaw nangmae hmalah hoi ka pâlei teh, sahnin e boiboe lah, a ram dawk a phakhai vaiteh, râw coe sak hanelah, hnotithainae lahoi, Izip ram lahoi na hmalah a hrawi toe.
to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today.
39 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut teh lathueng lae kalvan hoi rahim lae talai van hai thoseh, Cathut lah ao teh, alouke cathut awm hoeh tie hah, sahnin panuek awh, na lung thung pâkuem awh.
Know therefore today, and take it to heart, that the LORD himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no one else.
40 Nangmouh hoi na catounnaw ni khosak ahawi nahan, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawk, hringsaw nahan thoseh, sahnin kai ni lawk na thui awh e kâpoelawknaw hah, na tarawi awh han telah Mosi ni a dei.
You shall keep his statutes and his commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD your God gives you for all time.
41 Hatnavah, imri hah taran laipalah, ka thet payon e tami teh,
Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise,
42 a yawng vaiteh, a hring hlout nahanelah Jordan palang kanîtholah khopui 3 touh Mosi ni a ta pouh.
that the man slayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally and didn’t hate him in time past, and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
43 Hete khopuinaw e min teh, Reuben miphun onae kahrawng, Bezer khopui, Gad miphun onae, Gilead ram dawk Ramoth khopui, Manasseh miphun onae Bashan ram Golan khopuinaw doeh.
Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
44 Hete kâlawk teh Mosi ni Isarelnaw koe a poe e lah ao.
This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
45 Ahnimouh ni Izip ram hoi a tâco awh hnukkhu, Heshbon khopui kaawm e, Amor siangpahrang Sihon e ram thung, Jordan tui kanîtholah, Bethpeor khopui dawk kaawm e tanghling dawk Mosi ni a dei e phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw doeh.
These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances which Moses spoke to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt,
46 Mosi hoi Isarelnaw teh Izip ram hoi a tâco awh hnukkhu hote siangpahrang hoi,
beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck when they came out of Egypt.
47 Bashan siangpahrang Og tie Jordan tui namran lah kanîtholah, kaawm e Amon siangpahrang 2 touh a thei teh,
They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
48 Ahnimae ram hah Arnon tui teng kaawm e Aroer khopui, Hermon mon tie Zion mon totouh thoseh,
from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Zion (also called Hermon),
49 Jordan tui kanîtho hoi, kâkuen e talîpui teng, Arabah Pisgah totouh a lawp awh.
and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
