Olrhaepnah 13
1 Nang taengah tonghma neh mang aka man te ha poe tih miknoek neh kopoekrhai khaw nang taengah m'paek mai ni.
“Possibly there will be people among you who [say that they] are prophets. They may say that they are able to interpret the meaning of dreams or perform various kinds of miracles [DOU].
2 Tedae miknoek neh kopoekrhai te hang khuentih nang ham a thui vaengah, “Na ming noek pawh pathen tloe hnukah vai uh sih lamtah amih taengah thothueng uh sih,” a ti ni.
They will say those things in order to induce/persuade you to worship gods that you have never known about before. But even if what they predict happens,
3 Tonghma te khaw, mangaka man khaw a ol hnatun pah boeh. Na minguh ham tah nangmih loh BOEIPA na Pathenaka noemcai rhung la na om uh ve. BOEIPA na Pathen te na thinko boeih na hinglu boeih neh lungnah lah.
do not pay attention to what they say. Yahweh our God will be testing you to find out if you love him with all your inner being.
4 BOEIPA na Pathen hnukte 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 must conduct your lives as Yahweh our God wants you to, and you must revere him, and do what he tells you to do [MTY], and worship only him, and (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him.
5 A khuiah pongpa ham na Pathen BOEIPAloh nang n'uen longpuei lamloh nangmih heh hamla, Egypt khohmuen lamloh nangmihaka khuen, sal imkhui lamloh nangaka lat, nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah koeknahaka thui tah, tonghma khaw, mangaka man khaw, duek saeh. Te dongah boethaete na khui lamloh khoe.
“But you must execute anyone who [falsely says that he] is a prophet, or someone who [falsely] says that he can interpret dreams, or who tells you to rebel against Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt. People like that are only wanting to cause you to stop conducting your lives as Yahweh has commanded you to do. Execute them, to get rid of this evil 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,
It does not matter if even your brother or your daughter or your wife or some close/dear friend secretly urges you, saying ‘Let’s worship other gods. They are gods which you or your ancestors have never known about.
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.
Some of them may encourage you to worship gods that people-groups that live near you worship, or gods that groups who live far away worship.
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.
Do not [SYN] do what they suggest. Do not even listen to them. Do not even be merciful to them, and do not keep secret what they have done.
9 Anih te na ngawn rhoe na ngawn ni. Na kutte anih ngawn ham lamhma kah bangla anih soah om saeh. Hmailong ah pilnam boeihkaha kut khaw om saeh.
Execute them! You [who are their relative] must be the first one to [throw stones at them to] kill them, and then let everyone else [MTY] throw stones at them, too.
10 Egypt kho neh sal imkhui lamkah nangaka khuen BOEIPA na Pathen taeng lamloh heh hamla nangaka mae te lungto neh dae lamtah duek saeh.
Kill such people by throwing stones at them, because they are trying to cause you to stop worshiping Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt.
11 Te daengahni Israel pumloha yaakuh vaengah a rhihuh vetih nangmih taengah hebang hno thae saii hamla a khoep pawt eh.
When they are executed, all the Israeli people will hear [what happened], and they will become afraid, and none of them will do such an evil thing again.
12 Na khopuei khuikah hlang khat khat loh, “Teah khosak sak ham BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang m'paek coeng,” a ti vaengah,
“When you are living in one of the towns in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, you may hear
13 namah khui lamkah hlang muen carhoek neh khopuei kah khosa rhoek aka hehloh thoo uh tih, “Cet uh sih lamtahna ming noek pawh pathen tloe taengah thothueng uh sih,” a tiuh tena yaak atah,
that some worthless people there among you [IDM] are deceiving the people of their town, saying, ‘Let’s go and worship other gods,’ but they are gods that you have never heard about before.
14 Na cae vetihna khe ni. Tuektuekna dawt tih na khui ah tueilaehkoi hno a saii te oltak la a om atah,
Investigate it thoroughly/carefully. If [you find out that] it is true that such a disgraceful thing has happened,
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.
kill all the people in that town. And kill all their livestock, too. Destroy the town completely.
16 A kutbuem boeih te a toltung khui la coi pah lamtah hmai neh hoehpah. 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.
Gather all the possessions that belonged to the people who lived there and pile them up in the city plaza. Then burn the town and everything in it, as though it were an offering to Yahweh that would be completely burned [on the altar]. The ruins/ashes must stay there forever; the town must never be rebuilt.
17 Yaehtaboeih la aka om boeih tah na kut dongah kap boel saeh. Te daengahni BOEIPAloh thintoek thinsakhui lamkah mael vetih nang taengah haidamnah a khueh eh. Te vaengah nang n'haidam vetih na parhoek taengkah a toemngam vanbangla na ping van ni.
None of you Israelis must take for yourselves [IDM] anything that Yahweh has said must be destroyed. But if you do what I say, Yahweh will stop being angry with you, and he will act mercifully toward you. And he will cause you to have many children/descendants, which is what he promised our ancestors that he would do.
18 BOEIPA na Pathen kah ol tena ngai atah tihninah kailoh nang kang uen olpaek boeih ngaithuen. BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah a thuemni saii ham a om.
Yahweh our God will do all those things if you do what he is telling you to do, and if you obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do].”
