Deuteronomy 7
1 Na toep o han ih prae ah na caeh o hanah, Angraeng mah nangcae hmaa ah Hit acaeng, Girgash acaeng, Amor acaeng, Kanaan acaeng, Periz acaeng, Hiv acaeng, Jebus acaeng hoi nangcae pong kalen, thacak kue acaeng sarihtonawk to haek boeh,
When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—
2 Angraeng mah nihcae to nangcae ban ah paek naah, nihcae to na takroek o ueloe, na hum o boih tih; nihcae hoi lokmaihaih sah o hmah loe, nihcae nuiah palungnathaih to tawn o hmah;
and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.
3 nihcae hoi imthong krah o hmah; anih capa hanah na canu to paek o hmah loe, na capa hanah anih ih canu to zu ah la pae o hmah.
Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,
4 To tih ai nahaeloe nihcae mah na capanawk to kai khae hoiah kalah sithawnawk khaeah caeh o haih ving moeng tih; to naah nangcae nuiah Angraeng palungphuihaih hmai baktih angqong ueloe, nangcae to amrosak boih tih.
because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.
5 Nihcae nuiah hae tiah sah oh; nihcae ih hmaicamnawk to phrae oh, krangnawk hoi tungnawk to pakhruh pae oh loe, a sak o ih krangnawk to hmai hoiah thlaek pae oh.
Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.
6 Nangcae loe na Angraeng Sithaw ih ciimcai kami ah na oh o; kahoih koek angmah ih kami ah ohsak hanah, long nuiah kaom kaminawk boih thung hoiah na Angraeng Sithaw mah ang qoih o boeh.
For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all peoples on the face of the earth.
7 Nangcae loe kalah kaminawk pongah na pop o pongah, Angraeng mah nangcae to palung moe, qoih ih na ai ni; nangcae loe kalah kaminawk pongah na tamsi o;
The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than the other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
8 Angraeng mah nangcae to palung moe, nam saenawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih to phraek han koeh ai pongah, thacak a ban hoiah misong ah na oh o haih prae, Izip siangpahrang Faro ih ban thung hoiah ang zaeh o.
But because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 To pongah na Angraeng Sithaw loe, Sithaw ni, tiah panoek oh; anih loe oep kathok Sithaw ah oh, anih loe palungnathaih hoiah sak ih a lokkamhaih to, a palung ih kaminawk hoi a paek ih lok pakuem kaminawk khaeah, caa patoeng adung sangto karoek to caksakkung ah oh.
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
10 Toe anih hnuma kaminawk to amrosak hanah, nihcae hmaa ah Anih mah lu la tih; anih hnuma kaminawk loe mikhmai khethaih om ai ah, nihcae hma ah danpaek tih.
But those who hate Him He repays to their faces with destruction; He will not hesitate to repay to his face the one who hates Him.
11 To pongah vaihniah pazui han kang paek o ih loknawk, zaehhoihaih daanawk hoi lokcaekhaihnawk to kahoih ah pazui oh.
So keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances that I am giving you to follow this day.
12 Hae ih lokcaekhaihnawk hae na pakuem o moe, na pazui o nahaeloe, nam panawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih hoi palungnathaih to na Angraeng Sithaw mah caksak poe tih.
If you listen to these ordinances and keep them carefully, then the LORD your God will keep His covenant and the loving devotion that He swore to your fathers.
13 Anih mah na palung o tih, tahamhoihaih na paek o ueloe, angpungsak tih; nangcae khae paek hanah, nam panawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah to prae thungah, na zok thung ih athaih to tahamhoihaih na paek ueloe, na lawk thung ih thingthai qumpo, cang, misurtui, situi, maitaw caanawk hoi tuu khongkha thung ih tuu caanawk to pungsak tih.
He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you.
14 Kalah kaminawk pongah doeh tahamhoihaih na hnu o tih; nangcae salak ih nongpa maw, nongpata maw loe caa sah ai kami to om mak ai, to tih khue ai nangmah ih maitaw thungah doeh caa sah ai maitaw to om mak ai.
You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock.
15 Angraeng mah nathaih thung hoiah na loih o sak tih; na panoek o ih Izip prae thung ih kasae nathaih to nangcae nuiah phasak mak ai; toe nang hnuma kaminawk nuiah loe phasak tih.
And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.
16 Angraeng mah nangcae ban ah paek han ih kaminawk to na hum o boih tih; nihcae to tahmen o hmah loe, nihcae sithawnawk ih tok doeh sah pae o hmah; to baktih hmuen loe nangcae han patungh ih dongh ah om tih.
You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
17 Hae kaminawk loe kai pongah pop o; nihcae to kawbangah maw ka haek thai tih? tiah palung thung hoiah na poek doeh om tih.
You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?”
18 Toe nihcae to zii hmah; Faro hoi Izip kaminawk khaeah na Angraeng Sithaw mah sak ih hmuen to panoek ah.
But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:
19 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah thacak a ban payuenghaih hoiah ni nangcae to ang zaeh o, na Angraeng Sithaw mah na zit ih kaminawk khaeah doeh, na hnuk ih kalen parai tanoekhaihnawk, angmathaih hoi dawnrai hmuennawk boih to sah pae toeng tih.
the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
20 Anghawk kaminawk hoi anghmat kaminawk, hum bit ai karoek to na Angraeng Sithaw mah khoimi to patoeh tih.
Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished.
21 Nangcae salakah thacak moe, zit kathok Sithaw, na Angraeng Sithaw to oh pongah, nihcae to zii o hmah.
Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
22 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah to kaminawk to na hma ah maeto pacoeng maeto haek tih; nihcae to vaito ah haek boih mak ai; to tih ai nahaeloe nang hanah taw ih moisannawk to pung o moeng tih.
The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.
23 Toe na Angraeng Sithaw mah na ban ah nihcae to paek tih, nihcae to hum ai karoek to, kalen parai amrohaih hoiah amrosak tih.
But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
24 Na ban ah nihcae ih siangpahrangnawk to paek ueloe, van tlim hoiah nihcae ih ahminnawk to na phrae pae tih; nihcae amrohaih tongh o ai karoek to, na hma ah mi doeh angdoe o thai mak ai.
He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.
25 Nihcae ih sithaw ah kaom krangnawk to hmai hoiah qoeng pae ah; nihcae ih sui hoi sum kanglung to khit hmah loe, nangmah hanah doeh la hmah; to tih ai nahaeloe dongh pongah na man moeng tih; hae loe na Angraeng Sithaw hanah panuet kathok hmuen ah oh.
You must burn up the images of their gods; do not covet the silver and gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it; for it is detestable to the LORD your God.
26 Panuet thok hmuen to nangmah im ah sin hmah; to tih ai nahaeloe nang loe tangoeng ih to hmuen baktiah na om moeng tih; to hmuennawk loe tangoeng ih hmuen ah oh pongah, panuet o ah loe hnuma oh.
And you must not bring any detestable thing into your house, or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. You are to utterly detest and abhor it, because it is set apart for destruction.
