< Olrhaepnah 13 >

1 Nang taengah tonghma neh mang aka man te ha poe tih miknoek neh kopoekrhai khaw nang taengah m'paek mai ni.
If a prophet or dreamer of dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you,
2 Tedae miknoek neh kopoekrhai te hang khuen tih nang ham a thui vaengah, “Na ming noek pawh pathen tloe hnukah vai uh sih lamtah amih taengah thothueng uh sih,” a ti ni.
and if the sign or wonder he has spoken to you comes about, but he says, “Let us follow other gods (which you have not known) and let us worship them,”
3 Tonghma te khaw, mang aka man khaw a ol hnatun pah boeh. Na ming uh ham tah nangmih loh BOEIPA na Pathen aka noemcai rhung la na om uh ve. BOEIPA na Pathen te na thinko boeih na hinglu boeih neh lungnah lah.
you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 BOEIPA na Pathen hnuk te vai lamtah amah te rhih lah. A olpaek te ngaithuen lamtah a ol te hnatun lah. Amah taengah thothueng lamtah amah dongah hangdang lah.
You are to follow the LORD your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast to Him.
5 A khuiah pongpa ham na Pathen BOEIPA loh nang n'uen longpuei lamloh nangmih heh hamla, Egypt khohmuen lamloh nangmih aka khuen, sal imkhui lamloh nang aka lat, nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah koeknah aka thui tah, tonghma khaw, mang aka man khaw, duek saeh. Te dongah boethae te na khui lamloh khoe.
Such a prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he has advocated rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way in which the LORD your God has commanded you to walk. So you must purge the evil from among you.
6 Na nu pakhat kah a ca na manuca long khaw, na capa long khaw, na canu long khaw, na rhang dongkah na yuu long khaw, namah hinglu bangla na lungnah na hui mai long khaw yinhnuk ah nang m'vueh tih, “Cet uh sih lamtah namah neh na pa rhoek loh a ming mueh a tloe pathen,
If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (which neither you nor your fathers have known,
7 na kaepvai kah pilnam rhoek neh khohla khoyoei, kho bawt lamkah kho bawt patoeng loh a bawk pathen te thothueng uh sih,” a ti mai ni.
the gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, whether from one end of the earth or the other),
8 Anih taengla bung boel lamtah a ol te hnatun pah boeh. Na mik long khaw anih te rhen boel saeh. Te dongah lungma ti boel lamtah anih te dah boeh.
you must not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield him.
9 Anih te na ngawn rhoe na ngawn ni. Na kut te anih ngawn ham lamhma kah bangla anih soah om saeh. Hmailong ah pilnam boeih kah a kut khaw om saeh.
Instead, you must surely kill him. Your hand must be the first against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.
10 Egypt kho neh sal imkhui lamkah nang aka khuen BOEIPA na Pathen taeng lamloh heh hamla nang aka mae te lungto neh dae lamtah duek saeh.
Stone him to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
11 Te daengah ni Israel pum loh a yaak uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih nangmih taengah hebang hno thae saii hamla a khoep pawt eh.
Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.
12 Na khopuei khuikah hlang khat khat loh, “Teah khosak sak ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek coeng,” a ti vaengah,
If, regarding one of the cities the LORD your God is giving you to inhabit, you hear it said
13 namah khui lamkah hlang muen ca rhoek neh khopuei kah khosa rhoek aka heh loh thoo uh tih, “Cet uh sih lamtah na ming noek pawh pathen tloe taengah thothueng uh sih,” a ti uh te na yaak atah,
that wicked men have arisen from among you and have led the people of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you have not known),
14 Na cae vetih na khe ni. Tuektuek na dawt tih na khui ah tueilaehkoi hno a saii te oltak la a om atah,
then you must inquire, investigate, and interrogate thoroughly. And if it is established with certainty that this abomination has been committed among you,
15 Khopuei kah khosa boeih te na ngawn rhoe na ngawn ni. Te te cunghang ha neh thup lamtah a khuikah boeih neh a rhamsa khaw cunghang ha neh thup pah.
you must surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword. Devote to destruction all its people and livestock.
16 A kutbuem boeih te a toltung khui la coi pah lamtah hmai neh hoeh pah. Khopuei neh a kutbuem boeih na BOEIPA Pathen ham boeih saeh. Te vaengah a khopuei te kumhal due imrhong la om saeh lamtah thoh voel boel saeh.
And you are to gather all its plunder in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. The city must remain a mound of ruins forever, never to be rebuilt.
17 Yaehtaboeih la aka om boeih tah na kut dongah kap boel saeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh thintoek thinsa khui lamkah mael vetih nang taengah haidamnah a khueh eh. Te vaengah nang n'haidam vetih na pa rhoek taengkah a toemngam vanbangla na ping van ni.
Nothing devoted to destruction shall cling to your hands, so that the LORD will turn from His fierce anger, grant you mercy, show you compassion, and multiply you as He swore to your fathers,
18 BOEIPA na Pathen kah ol te na ngai atah tihnin ah kai loh nang kang uen olpaek boeih ngaithuen. BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah a thuem ni saii ham a om.
because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all His commandments I am giving you today and doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
