Olrhaepnah 29
1 Te hae kahhe Moab kho ah Israel carhoek neh moi a boh vaengah tahae kah olka he BOEIPAloh Moses a uentih Horeb ah khaw amih taengah moi a boh thil bal.
These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
2 Te vaengah Israel pum te Mosesloha hueh tih, “BOEIPAloh na mikhmuh ah Egypt kho kah Pharaoh neh a salrhoek boeih, a diklai boeih a saii te boeihna hmuhuh.
Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
3 Noemcainah a len len neh kopoekrhai a len len te na mikloh miknoek la a hmuhcoeng.
You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
4 Tedae ming thai ham lungbuei, hmuh thainah ham mik, yaak thainah hamnah hna khaw tihnin duela BOEIPAloh nangmih m'pae pawt nim?
But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
5 Nangmih te khosoek ah kum likip kam mawttih na pum dongkah na himbailoh hmawn pawh. Na kho dongkah na khokhom khaw hmawn pawh.
For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
6 Buhna cauh pawt tih misurtui neh yuna okuh pawt daengah kai he BOEIPA na Pathen la nan minguh.
You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
7 Hekah hmuenna phauh vaengah caemtloek neh mamih doe hamla Heshbon manghai Sihon neh Bashan manghai Oga ha pawk tih amih rhoi te n'tloekuh.
“And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
8 Amih khohmuen te n'lohuh tih Reuben koca, Gad koca neh Manasseh koca hlangvang taengah rho la m'paekuh.
We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 Te dongah paipi ol he ngaithuenuh lamtah vaiuh. Te daengah ni na saii boeih tena cangbam uh thai eh.
“So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
10 Tihninah nangmih na Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh kahaka pai nangmih boeih khaw, na boeilu rhoek khaw, namah koca rhoek khaw, nangmih a hamcarhoek neh Israel hlang khaw,
Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
11 na yuu na ca neh na rhaehhmuen khuiah na thingaka toptih na tuiaka than yinlai khaw,
your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
12 BOEIPA na Pathen kah paipi neh tihninah BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang taengah a saii a olcaeng khuila kun puei laeh.
[We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
13 Tihninah nang te amah kah pilnam la pai sak vetih namah taeng neh na parhoek Abraham, Isaak, Jakob taengkah a toemngam tih a thui vanbangla na Pathen la ha om ni.
[He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14 Tahae kah paipi neh olcaeng he namah neh namah loh na saii pawttih kamah long ni ka saii.
This agreement is not only with you.
15 Tihnin kah BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh kahaka pai mamih taengahaka om neh tihnin kah mamih taengah aka om pawtrhoek taengah khaw a saii.
He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
16 Egypt kho ah metla ng'om tih namtom lakli ahna caehuhvaengah metlana caeh uh khaw namamih lohna minguh.
“You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
17 Amih taengkah a sarhingkoi la thingngo, lungto, sui neh ngun mueirhol tena hmuhuh.
In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
18 Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taeng lamloh a thinkoaka maelhtih namtom pathen taengah thothueng hamlaaka cet huta, tongpa khaw, huiko neh, pilnam koca he tihnin kah nangmih khuiah om ve. Anrhat neh pantong yungaka pungtailoh nangmih taengah om ve.
So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
19 Te dongah tahae kah thaephoei ol a yaak vaengah a thinko khuiah yoethen pae uh vetih, “Ka lungbuei thinthahnah ah ka pongpa daengahni khosul tuihalh neh ka khoengvoep vetih kai ham ngaimongnah a om eh?,” ti ve.
“Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
20 BOEIPAloh anih te khodawkngai ham a ngaih moenih. BOEIPA kah thintoek neh amah hlang taengkah a thatlainah tah khuu yoeyah ni. Te dongah he cabu dongkah a daek thaephoeinah boeih he anih soah kol ni. Te vaengah BOEIPAloh anih ming te vaan hmui lamloh a phae ni.
Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
21 Te dongah tahae kah olkhueng cabu khuiah a daek thaephoeinah paipi cungkuem van bangla Israel koca boeih khui kah khaw BOEIPAloh yoethaenah la a boe ni.
From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
22 Te vaengah nangmih hnuk lamkahaka thoo na carhoek, lamhnuk kah cadilcahma neh kho hla lamkahaka pai kholong long khaw thui saeh. He khohmuen kah hmasoe neh BOEIPAloh anih soah a tloh sak a tlohtat te hmu uh saeh.
“In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
23 Kat neh lungkaeh khohmuen ungkhang boeih he tawnuh pawt vetih baelhingloh pakhat khaw a daih mueh la poe mahpawh. Sodom neh Gomorrah imrhong bangla Admah neh Zeboiim khaw BOEIPAloh amah kah kosi thintoek neh a palet ni.
They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
24 Te vaengah namtom rhoek loh balae tih khohmuen he BOEIPAloh thintoek thinling neh boeih a saii aih,” a ti uh ni.
And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
25 Tedae, “Egypt kho lamkah amih hang khuen vaengah a napa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathenloh amih neh a saii paipi te a hnoouh dongahni te,” a ti uh ni.
“Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
26 Cetuh tih pathen tloe taengah tho a thuenguh dongah amih taengah bakopuh. Te pathen rhoek loh amihte minguh pawt tih amih ham boe a soep moenih.
Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
27 Te dongah cabu dongkah a daek rhunkhuennah boeih he khuen thil ham BOEIPA kah thintoek tah khohmuen taengah saicoeng.
So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
28 BOEIPAloh amihte khohmuen khui lamkah thintoek kosi thinhul bat la a phuk vetih kho tloe ah tihnin kah bangla a voeih ni.
Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
29 Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah thuh cakhaw kumhal duela vai ham olkhueng ol boeih he mamih taeng neh mamih kah n'ca rhoek taengah ha phoecoeng.
“[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
