“I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
2 Na Pathen BOEIPA taengla mael lamtah a cungkuem la a ol te ngailaeh. Teni kailoh nang kang uen. Tihninah namah neh na carhoekkhaw na thinko boeih neh, na hinglu boeih neh ngai laeh.
Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
3 Na BOEIPA Pathenloh na thongtlak te koep n'hlawt vetih nang n'haidam bitni. Te vaengah BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang n'taekyaak nah pilnam cungkuem taeng lamloh nang te m'mael puei vetih koep n'coi ni.
he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
4 Vaan khobawt duela nangaka heh la om mai cakhaw te lamkahte BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang n'coi vetih koep n'loh ni.
Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
5 Na pa rhoek kah a pang khohmuen la BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang ng'khuen tihna pang vaengah nangte khophoeng m'pha sak vetih na parhoek lakah khaw nang te m'ping sak ni.
He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
6 BOEIPA na Pathen te na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih, na hingnah neh na lungnah ham khaw BOEIPA na Pathenloh namah thinko neh na tiingan kah thinko te hang rhet bitni.
Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
7 Tedae nangaka hmuhuettih nangaka hloem na thunkharhoek soah tahae kah thaephoeinah boeih he BOEIPA na Pathenloh a khueh pah ni.
Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
8 Nang khaw koep na bal tih BOEIPA olna hnatun ham neh a olpaek te boeihna vai ham ni tihninah kai loh kang uen.
You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
9 Te daengahni BOEIPA na Pathenloh na kut dongkah bibi boeih neh na bungko thaihtae dongah khaw, na rhamsa thaihtae dongah khaw, na khohmuen thaihtae neh a then la nang te m'baecoih sak eh. Te vaengahni na parhoek soah a then la a ngaingaih bangla nang soah ngaingaih ham khaw BOEIPA a mael eh.
Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
10 Tahae kah olkhueng cabu dongah a daek tangtae a olpaek neh a khosing ngaithuen ham BOEIPA na Pathen ol tena ngai mak atah. Na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih neh BOEIPA na Pathen taenglana bal mak atah.
[But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
11 Tihninah kailoh nang kan uen olpaek he nang hamla rhaisang pawt tih a hla moenih.
The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
12 “Mamih ham vaan la ulaeaka luei vetih mamih hamaka lo eh. Tedae mamih n'yaak sak vetih man n'saii uh sue,” na ti ham khaw vaan dongla a om aih moenih.
They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
13 “Mamih ham tuitunli kah rhalvangan la ulaeaka kat vetih mamih hamaka lo eh. Tedae mamih n'yaak sak vetih man n'saii uh sue,” na ti ham khaw tuitunli kah rhalvangan la a om aih moenih.
And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
14 Tedae namah taengkah na ka dongah olkaloh rhep ha yoei coeng dongahna saii ham khaw na thinko khuiah om coeng.
[You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
15 Tihnin kah na mikhmuh ah ka tloeng hingnah neh hnothen, dueknah neh boethae he so lah.
So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
16 BOEIPA na Pathenna lungnahtih a longpuei ah pongpa ham neh a olpaek, a khosing, a laitloeknah ngaithuen sak hamte tihninah kailoh nang kang uencoeng. Te daengah ni na hing tih pang hamlana kun thil khohmuen ahna ping vaengah BOEIPA na Pathenloh nangte yoethen m'paek eh.
[I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
17 Tedae ol na ngai mueh la na thinkona maelh atah n'heh ni. Te vaengah pathen tloerhoek taenglana bakop vetih amih taengah tho na thueng ve.
But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
18 Jordan na poengtih pang hamna kun thil khohmuen ah m'milh, m'milh sak vetih na hinglung vang pawt ve ka ti dongahni tihnin ah khaw nang taengah ka puen.
I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
19 Tihninah hingnah neh dueknah, yoethennah neh rhunkhuennahte na mikhmuh ah kan tloengcoeng. Te dongah hingnah tena tuek daengahni namah neh na tii na ngan na hing thai eh.
I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
20 Na parhoek Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob taengah paek hamla BOEIPAloha toemngam khohmuen ah na hingnah hinglung sen la khosak sak ham, BOEIPA na Pathente lungnahtih a ol hnatun ham neh amah taengah hangdang ham khaw nang taengah vaan neh diklai ka laipai puei coeng.
[Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
