Deuteronomy 8
1 Na hing o moe, na pung o thai hanah hoi Angraeng mah nam panawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih prae thungah akun moe, prae to na toep o thai hanah, vaihniah kang paek ih loknawk hae kahoih ah pazui oh.
You must carefully follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
2 Saning qui palito thung Angraeng mah kawbangah maw praezaek ah zaehhoih, tito poek oh; na Angraeng Sithaw mah na palung thungah paek ih lok pakuem koehhaih palung tawnh o maw, tawn o ai, tiah panoek hanah, kahnaem ah ang suek o moe, ang tanoek o.
Remember that these forty years the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commandments.
3 Anih mah atlim ah ang suek o moe, zok amthlamsak naah, nangcae hoi nam panawk mah panoek o ai ih, manna hoiah ang pacah o, to pongah kami loe takaw khue hoiah hing mak ai, Angraeng pakha hoi tacawt loknawk hoiah ni hing, tito ang panoek o sak.
He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
4 Na khukbuennawk to prawn ai moe, saning qui palito thung, na khoknawk doeh bawk ai.
Your clothing did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
5 Kami mah a capa thuitaek baktih toengah, Angraeng mah ang thuitaek o, tito panoek oh.
So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
6 A caehhaih loklam ah na caeh o moe, anih to zit hanah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih loknawk to pazui oh.
Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him.
7 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah kahoih prae, azawn, vacong tui kapop prae, azawn, mae ah tacawt tuipuek hoi vacong tui ohhaih prae,
For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills;
8 cang, barli cang, misur kungnawk, thaiduet kungnawk, pomogranat kungnawk, olive situi hoi khoitui longhaih prae,
a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
9 kakhaa ai takaw, angaihaih tidoeh kaom ai prae, sum ah kangcoeng thlung hoi sum kamling takaehhaih maenawk nuiah na caeh o haih tih.
a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.
10 Nangcae han kahoih parai prae to ang paek o pongah, buh na caak o moe, zok nam hah o naah, Angraeng to tahamhoihaih na paek o han oh.
When you eat and are satisfied, you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.
11 Vaihniah kang paek o ih loknawk, a lokcaekhaihnawk, a zaehhoihaih daannawk pazui ai ah oh moeng moe, na Angraeng Sithaw pahnet moeng han ai ah acoe oh;
Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.
12 zok kamhah ah buh na caak o moe, kahoih parai im ah na oh o moe,
Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
13 nang ih maitaw hoi tuunawk to pung o, sui hoi sum kanglungnawk pop parai ah na tawnh o moe, na tawnh o ih hmuennawk boih pung naah,
and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,
14 amoek o hmah, misong ah na oh o haih Izip prae thung hoiah zaehoikung, na Angraeng Sithaw to pahnet o hmah;
then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
15 kasoe kaom pahuinawk, sataai pophaih prae, tui om ai naah, thlung kamtak thung hoiah nangcae han tui paekkung, kalen parai, zit thok praezaek ah nangcae zaehoikung,
He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.
16 nangcae poek pahnaemsak pacoengah, tanoek moe, hnukkhuem ah hmuen kahoih sak pae hanah, praezaek ah nam panawk mah panoek vai ai ih manna hoiah pacahkung, na Angraeng Sithaw to pahnet o hmah,
He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
17 ka thacakhaih hoi ka ban toksak thaihaih hoiah ni hae angraenghaihnawk hae ka hnuk o, tiah na poek o moeng han ai ah acoe oh.
You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”
18 Na Angraeng Sithaw to kahoih ah panoek oh; nam panawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih to vaihni ih baktih toengah caksak hanah, Sithaw mah ni angraenghaih to ang paek o.
But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.
19 Na Angraeng Sithaw to na pahnet o moe, kalah sithawnawk hnukah na bang o, a tok to na sak pae o pacoengah, na bok o nahaeloe, na dueh o tangtang tih, tiah vaihniah acoehaih kang paek o.
If you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
20 Angraeng Sithaw ih lok na tahngai o ai nahaloe, Angraeng mah nangcae hma ah acaeng kaminawk amrosak baktih toengah, nangcae doeh nam ro o toeng tih.
Like the nations that the LORD has destroyed before you, so you will perish if you do not obey the LORD your God.
