Deuteronomy 30

1 Nangcae hma ah ka suek ih hae tahamhoihaih hoi tangoenghaih boih nangcae khaeah phak naah, Angraeng mah ang haek o ih prae boih ah, to hmuennawk to poek oh,

Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,

2 nangmah hoi na caanawk boih na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah nam laem o let naah, vaihniah kang thuih o ih lok baktih toengah, na palungthin boih, na hinghaih boih hoiah a lok to na tahngaih o nahaeloe,

And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:

3 na Angraeng Sithaw mah tamna ah na ohhaih ahmuen hoiah na kawk let tih; nangcae nuiah tahmenhaih tawn let ueloe, ang haek o ih prae thung boih hoiah na pakhueng o let tih.

Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.

4 Van tlim ih angthla koek prae ah na haek o cadoeh, to ahmuen hoiah na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae pakhueng let hanah na kawk tih.

Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;

5 Nam panawk mah toep o ih prae thungah na Angraeng Sithaw mah na hoi o let ueloe, prae to na toep o tih; khosak hoihaih na paek o ueloe, nam panawk pong kamtlai ah na pung o tih.

Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.

6 Na Angraeng Sithaw to na palungthin boih, na hinghaih boih hoi na palung o moe, na hing o thai hanah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangmacae hoi na caanawk ih palungthin tangzat to aat tih.

And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.

7 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tangoeng ih hmuennawk boih hae nangcae hnuma moe, pacaekthlaek, na misanawk nuiah phasak tih.

And the Lord your God will put all these curses on those who are against you, and on your haters who put a cruel yoke on you.

8 Nangcae mah Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh loe, vaihniah kang paek o ih loknawk hae pazui o boih ah.

And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.

9 To tiah na sak o nahaeloe, na Angraeng Sithaw mah na ban hoi sak ih hmuen boih, na takpum hoi tacawt athaih, maitaw caanawk, na lawk thung ih thingthai qumponawk hoiah khosak na hoih o sak tih; nam panawk nuiah Angraeng anghoe baktih toengah, nangcae nuiah doeh anghoe tih;

And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:

10 na Angraeng Sithaw ih lok to na tahngaih o, hae kaalok cabu thungah tarik moe, a thuih ih loknawk hoi zaehhoihaih daannawk hae na pazui o boih pacoengah, na poekhaih palungthin boih, na hinghaih boih hoiah na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah nam laem o nahaeloe, Angraeng anghoe ueloe, khosak na hoih o sak tih.

If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 Vaihniah kang paek o ih loknawk loe na pazui o thai han ai khoek to karai om ai, dawnrai koi hmuen ah doeh om ai.

For these orders which I have given you today are not strange and secret, and are not far away.

12 Aicae mah to loknawk to a sak o moe, a pazui o hanah, mi mah maw van ah daw ueloe, aicae han na sin pae tih, tiah thuih hanah, to loknawk loe van ah om ai.

They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?

13 To lok to a sak o moe, a pazui o hanah, mi mah maw tuipui to angkaat ueloe, aicae han na sin pae tih? tiah thuih hanah, to loknawk loe vapui zaeh ah om ai.

And they are not across the sea, for you to say, Who will go over the sea for us and give us news of them so that we may do them?

14 Lok loe nangcae taengah ni oh; nangcae mah na pazui o thai hanah, na pakha ah oh moe, na palung thungah oh.

But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

15 Khenah, vaihniah hinghaih hoi khosak hoihaih, duekhaih hoi amrohaih, na hmaa ah ka suek.

See, I have put before you today, life and good, and death and evil;

16 Na Angraeng Sithaw to na palung o moe, a loklam ah na caeh o hanah, ang paek ih loknawk, a zaehhoihaih daannawk, a lokcaekhaihnawk to na pazui o hanah, na hing o moe, na pung o thai hanah, vaihniah lok kang paek o; na Angraeng Sithaw mah qawk ah toep han na caeh o ih prae thungah tahamhoihaih na paek o tih.

In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage.

17 Toe na poekhaih palung to amkhraeng o ving moe, lok tahngai ai ah nang qoi o ving, kalah sithawnawk to na bok o pacoengah, a tok to na sak pae o nahaeloe,

But if your heart is turned away and your ear is shut, and you go after those who would make you servants and worshippers of other gods:

18 nam ro o tangtang tih, tiah vaihniah kang thuih o; Jordan vapui nang kat o moe, qawktoep hanah na caeh o ih prae thungah kasawk ah na hing o mak ai.

I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan.

19 Hinghaih hoi duekhaih, tahamhoihaih hoi tangoenghaihnawk nangcae hmaa ah ka suek, tiah hnukung ah oh hanah, vaihniah van hoi long to ka kawk;

Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:

20 Angraeng mah nam pa Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob khaeah paek han lokkam ih prae thungah khosak hanah, Angraeng loe nangcae hinghaih hoi hinglung sawkhaih ah oh pongah, na Angraeng Sithaw to palung oh, a lok to tahngai oh loe, anih to kacakah patawn oh, tiah a thuih pae.

In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
