Deuteronomy 7

1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you—the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—seven nations greater and mightier than you;

Na toep o han ih prae ah na caeh o hanah, Angraeng mah nangcae hmaa ah Hit acaeng, Girgash acaeng, Amor acaeng, Kanaan acaeng, Periz acaeng, Hiv acaeng, Jebus acaeng hoi nangcae pong kalen, thacak kue acaeng sarihtonawk to haek boeh,

2 and when the LORD your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them.

Angraeng mah nihcae to nangcae ban ah paek naah, nihcae to na takroek o ueloe, na hum o boih tih; nihcae hoi lokmaihaih sah o hmah loe, nihcae nuiah palungnathaih to tawn o hmah;

3 You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.

nihcae hoi imthong krah o hmah; anih capa hanah na canu to paek o hmah loe, na capa hanah anih ih canu to zu ah la pae o hmah.

4 For that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So the LORD’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.

To tih ai nahaeloe nihcae mah na capanawk to kai khae hoiah kalah sithawnawk khaeah caeh o haih ving moeng tih; to naah nangcae nuiah Angraeng palungphuihaih hmai baktih angqong ueloe, nangcae to amrosak boih tih.

5 But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.

Nihcae nuiah hae tiah sah oh; nihcae ih hmaicamnawk to phrae oh, krangnawk hoi tungnawk to pakhruh pae oh loe, a sak o ih krangnawk to hmai hoiah thlaek pae oh.

6 For you are a holy people to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Nangcae loe na Angraeng Sithaw ih ciimcai kami ah na oh o; kahoih koek angmah ih kami ah ohsak hanah, long nuiah kaom kaminawk boih thung hoiah na Angraeng Sithaw mah ang qoih o boeh.

7 The LORD did not set his love on you nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples;

Nangcae loe kalah kaminawk pongah na pop o pongah, Angraeng mah nangcae to palung moe, qoih ih na ai ni; nangcae loe kalah kaminawk pongah na tamsi o;

8 but because the LORD loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Angraeng mah nangcae to palung moe, nam saenawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih to phraek han koeh ai pongah, thacak a ban hoiah misong ah na oh o haih prae, Izip siangpahrang Faro ih ban thung hoiah ang zaeh o.

9 Know therefore that the LORD your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness to a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments,

To pongah na Angraeng Sithaw loe, Sithaw ni, tiah panoek oh; anih loe oep kathok Sithaw ah oh, anih loe palungnathaih hoiah sak ih a lokkamhaih to, a palung ih kaminawk hoi a paek ih lok pakuem kaminawk khaeah, caa patoeng adung sangto karoek to caksakkung ah oh.

10 and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face.

Toe anih hnuma kaminawk to amrosak hanah, nihcae hmaa ah Anih mah lu la tih; anih hnuma kaminawk loe mikhmai khethaih om ai ah, nihcae hma ah danpaek tih.

11 You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which I command you today, to do them.

To pongah vaihniah pazui han kang paek o ih loknawk, zaehhoihaih daanawk hoi lokcaekhaihnawk to kahoih ah pazui oh.

12 It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances and keep and do them, that the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers.

Hae ih lokcaekhaihnawk hae na pakuem o moe, na pazui o nahaeloe, nam panawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih hoi palungnathaih to na Angraeng Sithaw mah caksak poe tih.

13 He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.

Anih mah na palung o tih, tahamhoihaih na paek o ueloe, angpungsak tih; nangcae khae paek hanah, nam panawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah to prae thungah, na zok thung ih athaih to tahamhoihaih na paek ueloe, na lawk thung ih thingthai qumpo, cang, misurtui, situi, maitaw caanawk hoi tuu khongkha thung ih tuu caanawk to pungsak tih.

14 You will be blessed above all peoples. There will not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.

Kalah kaminawk pongah doeh tahamhoihaih na hnu o tih; nangcae salak ih nongpa maw, nongpata maw loe caa sah ai kami to om mak ai, to tih khue ai nangmah ih maitaw thungah doeh caa sah ai maitaw to om mak ai.

15 The LORD will take away from you all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.

Angraeng mah nathaih thung hoiah na loih o sak tih; na panoek o ih Izip prae thung ih kasae nathaih to nangcae nuiah phasak mak ai; toe nang hnuma kaminawk nuiah loe phasak tih.

16 You shall consume all the peoples whom the LORD your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them. You shall not serve their gods; for that would be a snare to you.

Angraeng mah nangcae ban ah paek han ih kaminawk to na hum o boih tih; nihcae to tahmen o hmah loe, nihcae sithawnawk ih tok doeh sah pae o hmah; to baktih hmuen loe nangcae han patungh ih dongh ah om tih.

17 If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?”

Hae kaminawk loe kai pongah pop o; nihcae to kawbangah maw ka haek thai tih? tiah palung thung hoiah na poek doeh om tih.

18 you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:

Toe nihcae to zii hmah; Faro hoi Izip kaminawk khaeah na Angraeng Sithaw mah sak ih hmuen to panoek ah.

19 the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So shall the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

Na Angraeng Sithaw mah thacak a ban payuenghaih hoiah ni nangcae to ang zaeh o, na Angraeng Sithaw mah na zit ih kaminawk khaeah doeh, na hnuk ih kalen parai tanoekhaihnawk, angmathaih hoi dawnrai hmuennawk boih to sah pae toeng tih.

20 Moreover the LORD your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.

Anghawk kaminawk hoi anghmat kaminawk, hum bit ai karoek to na Angraeng Sithaw mah khoimi to patoeh tih.

21 You shall not be scared of them; for the LORD your God is among you, a great and awesome God.

Nangcae salakah thacak moe, zit kathok Sithaw, na Angraeng Sithaw to oh pongah, nihcae to zii o hmah.

22 The LORD your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.

Na Angraeng Sithaw mah to kaminawk to na hma ah maeto pacoeng maeto haek tih; nihcae to vaito ah haek boih mak ai; to tih ai nahaeloe nang hanah taw ih moisannawk to pung o moeng tih.

23 But the LORD your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they are destroyed.

Toe na Angraeng Sithaw mah na ban ah nihcae to paek tih, nihcae to hum ai karoek to, kalen parai amrohaih hoiah amrosak tih.

24 He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them.

Na ban ah nihcae ih siangpahrangnawk to paek ueloe, van tlim hoiah nihcae ih ahminnawk to na phrae pae tih; nihcae amrohaih tongh o ai karoek to, na hma ah mi doeh angdoe o thai mak ai.

25 You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.

Nihcae ih sithaw ah kaom krangnawk to hmai hoiah qoeng pae ah; nihcae ih sui hoi sum kanglung to khit hmah loe, nangmah hanah doeh la hmah; to tih ai nahaeloe dongh pongah na man moeng tih; hae loe na Angraeng Sithaw hanah panuet kathok hmuen ah oh.

26 You shall not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

Panuet thok hmuen to nangmah im ah sin hmah; to tih ai nahaeloe nang loe tangoeng ih to hmuen baktiah na om moeng tih; to hmuennawk loe tangoeng ih hmuen ah oh pongah, panuet o ah loe hnuma oh.
