Deuteronomy 11

1 To pongah na Angraeng Sithaw to palung oh loe, ang thuih o ih loknawk, a zaehhoihaih daannawk, a lokcaekhaihnawk hoi kaaloknawk to pakuem o poe ah.

THEREFORE thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

2 Na Angraeng Sithaw ih thuitaekhaih, lensawkhaih, ban thacakhaih, ban payanghaih,

And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

3 A sak ih hmuennawk hoi dawnrai hmuennawk, Izip prae ah, Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi anih ih kaminawk khaeah sak ih hmuennawk,

And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

4 Izip misatuh kaminawk, hrang angthueng kaminawk hoi nihcae ih hrang lakoknawk nuiah sak ih hmuennawk, kawbangah maw nangcae patom kaminawk to kathim tuipui thungah uemsak king, Angraeng mah kawbangah maw nihcae to vaihni khoek to amrosak;

And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the Lord hath destroyed them unto this day;

5 hae ahmuen ah na pha o ai vop, praezaek ah nam het o nathuem ah, nangcae han a sak ih hmuennawk,

And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;

6 Reuben acaeng, Eliab ih caa hnik, Dathan hoi Abiram khaeah a sak ih hmuennawk, kawbangah maw Israel kaminawk boih hma ah long mah pakha aangh moe, nihnik hoi a imthung takoh boih, a oh hoi haih im hoi a tawnh o ih hmuennawk boih paaeh pae king, tito panoek ai na caanawk khaeah ka thui pae ai; vaihniah to hmuen kawng to na panoek o han oh.

And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:

7 Angraeng mah sak ih kalen parai hmuennawk to mik hoiah na hnuk o boeh.

But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did.

8 To pongah vaihniah kang paek o ih loknawk to pazui o boih ah; to tiah nahaeloe na caeh o moe, qawk ah na toep o han ih prae thungah, thacakhaih hoiah na kun o thai tih;

Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;

9 Angraeng mah nam saenawk hoi nihcae ih caanawk khaeah paek han lokkam ih prae, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae thungah, na hinglung sawk o tih.

And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

10 Na caeh o moe, na toep o han ih prae loe, aanmu na haeh o moe, khok hoiah tui na bawh o ih, nang zoh o haih, Izip prae baktiah om ai.

For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:

11 Toe na caeh o moe, na toep o han ih prae loe, maesom hoi azawn kapop prae ah oh moe, van ih khotui kanae prae,

But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:

12 na Angraeng Sithaw mah saning amtonghaih hoi boeng khoek to khetzawn ih prae ah oh.

A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

13 Na Angraeng Sithaw to na palung o moe, a tok to na palungthin boih, na hinghaih boih hoiah na sak o pacoengah, vaihniah kang paek o ih lok to kahoih ah na pazui o nahaeloe,

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 cang maw, misurtui maw, situi maw na tawnh o thai hanah, kakrah hmaloe khotui hoi hnukkhuem khotui to, angmah ih atue phak naah kang zohsak han.

That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

15 Zok kamhah ah na caak o thai hanah, maitaw pacahhaih qam kahing to kang sai o sak han.

And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

16 Na palungthin to aling moe, loklam amkhraeng ving han ai ah; kalah sithawnawk to bok moe, a tok na sak pae o han ai ah acoe oh;

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

17 to tih ai nahaeloe Angraeng palungphuihaih nangcae nuiah hmai baktiah kangh ueloe, kho angzoh han ai ah, van thok to kha ving moeng tih; long ah thingthai tacawt mak ai, to naah Angraeng mah paek ih prae thung hoiah karangah nam ro o tih.

And then the Lord’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you.

18 To pongah kang thuih o ih loknawk hae na palungthin thungah pakuem oh, na ban ah zaeng oh loe, na mik salak ih lu pataeh ah kom oh.

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

19 Na caanawk to patuk oh loe, im ah nang hnut o moe, loklam na caeh o naah doeh, na iih moe, nang thawk o naah doeh thui oh.

And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

20 Na im thok tung ah doeh tarik oh loe, khongkha ah doeh tarik oh.

And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

21 To tiah nahaeloe Angraeng mah nam panawk khaeah paek han lokkam ih prae ah, nangcae hoi na caanawk ih hinghaih loe van hinglung sawkhaih baktiah sawk o tih.

That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

22 Angraeng Sithaw to na palung o; a caehhaih loklam ah na caeh o moe, anih to kacakah na patawn o thai hanah, pazui han kang paek o ih loknawk to acoehaih hoiah na pazui o boih nahaeloe,

For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

23 hae kaminawk hae Angraeng mah na hmaa hoiah na haek pae boih ueloe, nangcae pong kalen kue, thacak kue acaengnawk to anih mah na pazawk pae tih.

Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

24 Khok hoi na cawh o ih ahmuen boih nangcae ih ahmuen ah om tih; na prae loe praezaek hoi Lebanon khoek to, Euphrates vapui hoi niduem bang ih tuipui khoek to kawk tih.

Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

25 Mi kawbaktih doeh nangcae hmaa ah angdoet o thaih han ai ah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah ang thuih o ih lok baktih toengah, khok hoiah na cawh o ih ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae zithaih palungthin to suem pae tih.

There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

26 Khenah, vaihniah nangcae hma ah, tahamhoihaih hoi tangoenghaih to ka suek;

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

27 vaihniah kang paek o ih, na Angraeng Sithaw ih lok to na tahngaih o nahaeloe, taham na hoih o tih;

A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:

28 toe na Angraeng Sithaw ih lok na tahngai o ai, vaihniah kang paek o ih loknawk doeh nang qoi o taak moe, na panoek o ai ih kalah sithawnawk hnukah na bang o nahaeloe, tangoenghaih na tong o tih.

And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

29 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah, na caeh o moe, na toep o han ih prae thungah ang caeh o haih naah, Gerizim mae nuiah tahamhoihaih to om ueloe, Ebal mae nuiah loe tangoenghaih to om tih.

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

30 To maenawk loe Jordan vapui zaeh, niduem bangah kaom, Kanaan kaminawk ohhaih, Moreh azawn taeng ih, Gilgal vangpui ah na ai maw oh o?

Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?

31 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih prae thungah akun thai hanah, Jordan vapui angkat pacoengah, prae to na toep o ueloe, to prae thungah kho na sah o tih.

For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

32 Vaihniah na hma ah kang suek pae o ih zaehhoihaih daannawk hoi lok takroekhaihnawk to na pazui o thai boih hanah acoe oh.

And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
