Deuteronomy 27

1 Israel kacoehtanawk hoi kaminawk khaeah Mosi mah thuih ih lok loe, Vaihniah kang paek ih kaaloknawk hae pakuem o boih ah.

And Moses with the ancients of Israel commanded the people, saying: Keep every commandment that I command you this day.

2 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih prae thungah na kun o moe, Jordan vapui nang kat o naah, kalen parai thlung to pakhueng oh loe, thlung bethaih kaw hoiah bet oh.

And when you are passed over the Jordan into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, thou shalt set up great stones, and shalt plaster them over with plaster,

3 Nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah, nangcae han paek ih prae, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae thungah akun moe, vapui nang kat o naah, hae kaaloknawk hae thlung pongah tarik o boih ah.

That thou mayst write on them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over the Jordan: that thou mayst enter into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as he swore to thy fathers.

4 To pongah Jordan vapui nang kat o pacoengah, vaihniah kang thuih o ih lok baktih toengah, Ebal mae ah thlung to tling oh loe, thlung bethaih kaw hoiah bet oh.

Therefore when you are passed over the Jordan, set up the stones which I command you this day, in mount Hebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster:

5 To ahmuen ah na Angraeng Sithaw hanah, hmaicam maeto thlung hoiah sah oh; to thlung nuiah kawbaktih sum doeh tling o hmah.

And thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God, of stones which iron hath not touched,

6 Na Angraeng Sithaw ih hmaicam to thlung hoi khue ah sah oh, to thlung nuiah na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih to sah oh.

And of stones not fashioned nor polished: and thou shalt offer upon it holocausts to the Lord thy God:

7 Angdaeh angbawnhaih to sah oh loe, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah anghoehaih hoiah caa oh.

And shalt immolate peace victims, and eat there, and feast before the Lord thy God.

8 Na raemh o ih thlung nuiah hae ih kaaloknawk boih hae kamnoek ah tarik oh, tiah a thuih pae.

And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law plainly and clearly,

And Moses and the priests of the race of Levi said to all Israel: Attend, and hear, O Israel: This day thou art made the people of the Lord thy God.

10 Na Angraeng Sithaw ih lok to tahngai oh loe, vaihniah kang paek o ih, anih ih kaalok hoi lokcaekhaihnawk to tahngai oh, tiah a naa.

Thou shalt hear his voice, and do the commandments and justices which I command thee.

And over against them shall stand on mount Hebal to curse: Ruben, Gad, and Aser, and Zabulon, Dan, and Nephtali.
