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 — the elders of Israel also — commandeth the people, saying, Keep all the command which I am commanding you to-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 it hath been, in the day that ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, that thou hast raised up for thee great stones, and plaistered them with plaister,

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.

and written on them all the words of this law in thy passing over, so that thou goest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee.

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.

'And it hath been, in your passing over the Jordan, ye raise up these stones which I am commanding you to-day, in mount Ebal, and thou hast plaistered them with plaister,

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

and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones, thou dost not wave over them iron.

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

Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah thy God,

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

and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before Jehovah thy God,

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

and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.'

9 To pacoengah Mosi hoi Levi acaeng qaimanawk mah Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, Aw Israel kaminawk, acoehaih hoiah tahngai oh; nangcae loe vaihniah na Angraeng Sithaw ih kami ah na oh o boeh.

And Moses speaketh — the priests, the Levites, also — unto all Israel, saying, 'Keep silent, and hear, O Israel, this day thou hast become a people to Jehovah 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.

and thou hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and done His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.'

11 Mosi mah to na niah kaminawk khaeah thuih pae let ih lok loe,

And Moses commandeth the people on that day, saying,

12 Jordan vapui nang kat o pacoengah, kaminawk tahamhoihaih paek hanah, Gerizim mae nuiah angdoe han koi kaminawk loe Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issakar, Joseph hoi Benjamin acaengnawk hae ni.

'These do stand, to bless the people, on mount Gerizzim, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.

13 To pacoengah Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan hoi Naphtali acaengnawk loe tangoeng hanah Ebal mae ah angdoe o tih.

And these do stand, for the reviling, on mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
