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 shall be come upon thee, the blessing or the curse, which I have set forth before thee, and thou shalt be touched with repentance of thy heart among all the nations, into which the Lord thy God shall have scattered thee,

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 shalt return to him, and obey his commandments, as I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy 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.

The Lord thy God will bring back again thy captivity, and will have mercy on thee, and gather thee again out of all the nations, into which he scattered thee before.

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.

If thou be driven as far as the poles of heaven, the Lord thy God will fetch thee back from thence,

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.

And will take thee to himself, and bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it: and blessing thee, he will make thee more numerous than were thy fathers.

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.

The Lord thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed: that then mayst love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayst live.

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

And he will turn all these curses upon thy enemies, and upon them that hate and persecute thee.

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

But thou shalt return, and hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and shalt do all the commandments which I command thee this day:

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 thy God will make thee abound in all the works of thy hands, in the fruit of thy womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, in the fruitfulness of thy land, and in the plenty of all things. For the Lord will return to rejoice over thee in all good things, as he rejoiced in thy 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.

Yet so if thou hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which are written in this law: and return to the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy 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.

This commandment, that I command thee this day is not above thee, nor far off from thee:

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.

Nor is it in heaven, that thou shouldst say: Which of us can go up to heaven to bring it unto us, and we may hear and fulfill it in work?

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.

Nor is it beyond the sea: that thou mayst excuse thyself, and say: Which of us can cross the sea, and bring it unto us: that we may hear, and do that which is commanded?

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 nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayst do it.

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

Consider that I have set before thee this day life and good, and on the other hand 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.

That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and thou mayst live, and he may multiply thee, and bless thee in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.

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 thy heart be turned away, so that thou wilt not hear, and being deceived with error thou adore strange gods, and serve them:

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 foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish, and shalt remain but a short time in the land, to which thou shalt pass over the Jordan, and shalt go in to possess it.

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

I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

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.

And that thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and obey his voice, and adhere to him (for he is thy life, and the length of thy days, ) that thou mayst dwell in the land, for which the Lord swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give it them.
