These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess,
2 To tiah ni nangmah hoi na caanawk, na caanawk ih caa patoengnawk mah, kang paek ih lokcaekhaih hoi zaehhoihaih daan loknawk to hing thung pazui o tih, na Angraeng Sithaw to zii o ueloe, hinglung doeh sawk o tih.
so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged.

Hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
4 Aw Israel kaminawk, tahngai oh; aicae Angraeng Sithaw loe, maeto khue kaom Angraeng ah oh.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.
5 Na Angraeng Sithaw to na palungthin boih, na hinghaih boih, na thacakhaih boih hoiah palung ah.
And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.

And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
8 Na ban pongah to loknawk to angmathaih ah pathlet oh loe, na mik salak ih lu pataeh nuiah doeh zaeng oh.
Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
9 Na khongkha hoi na imthung ih tung pongah doeh tarik oh.
Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.

And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build,
11 na sah o ai ih kahoih hmuennawk hoiah kakoi imnawk, na takaeh o ai ih tuikhawnawk, na patit o ai ih misur takhanawk hoi olive kungnawk to caak moe, zok nam hah o haih atue om tih.
with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,
12 Misong ah na oh o haih, Izip prae thung hoiah zaehoikung, Angraeng to na pahnet o han ai ah acoe oh.
be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
13 Na Angraeng Sithaw to zii oh loe, anih ih tok khue to sah oh; anih ih ahmin hoiah lokkamhaih to sah oh.
Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name.
14 Nangcae taengah kaom kaminawk ih, sithawnawk hoi kalah sithawnawk hnukah patom o hmah;
Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.
15 to tih ai nahaeloe nangcae salakah kaom, na Angraeng Sithaw loe ut panoek Sithaw ah oh pongah, nangcae nuiah na Angraeng Sithaw palungphuihaih hmai baktiah kangh ueloe, long nui hoiah na tamit o boih moeng tih.
For the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God. Otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.
16 Massah ah na sak o ih baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw to tanoek o hmah.
Do not test the LORD your God as you tested Him at Massah.
17 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih, pazui han koi a thuih ih loknawk hoi zaehhoihaih daannawk to nangcae mah kahoih ah pazui oh.
You are to diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and the testimonies and statutes He has given you.

Do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, so that it may be well with you and that you may enter and possess the good land that the LORD your God swore to give your fathers,
19 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, na misanawk to nangmacae hma ah nam khueng o sak boih tih.
driving out all your enemies before you, as the LORD has said.
20 Hmabang tue ah na caa mah, Aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih ih pazui han koi loknawk hoi lokcaekhaihnawk loe tih thuih koehhaih ih aa? tiah dueng nahaeloe,
In the future, when your son asks, “What is the meaning of the decrees and statutes and ordinances that the LORD our God has commanded you?”
21 na caa khaeah, Kaicae loe Izip prae ah Faro ih misong ah ka oh o; toe a ban thacakhaih hoiah Angraeng mah Izip prae thung hoiah tacawt haih;
then you are to tell him, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
22 Angraeng mah kaicae mikhnuk ah, angmathaih, dawnrai hmuennawk, zit kathok, kalen parai hmuennawk to Izip prae, Faro hoi anih ih imthung takoh boih nuiah phaksak.
Before our eyes the LORD inflicted great and devastating signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household.
23 Toe aicae ampanawk khaeah paek hanah sak ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah, to prae thungah akunsak hanah Izip prae thung hoiah kaicae hae ang tacawt haih.
But He brought us out from there to lead us in and give us the land that He had sworn to our fathers.
24 Aicae Angraeng Sithaw to zit moe, hae zaehhoihaih daannawk pazui boih hanah, Angraeng mah lokthuih; vaihni khoek to anih mah tahmenhaih amtuengsak baktih toengah, aicae hinghaih doeh na pathlung pae tih.
And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes and to fear the LORD our God, that we may always be prosperous and preserved, as we are to this day.
25 Hae kaaloknawk hae aicae Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah a pazui o thaih boih nahaeloe, aicae toenghaih ah om tih, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
And if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us, then that will be our righteousness.”
