Olrhaepnah 4

1 Israel aw oltlueh neh laitloeknah te hnatun laeh. Te te vai hamla nangmih kan cang puei. Te daengah ni na hing uh tih na pha uh vaengah khaw na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah m'paek khohmuen te na pang uh eh.

And now give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I am teaching you, and do them; so that life may be yours, and you may go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you.

2 Kai loh nangmih kang uen olka he thap khaw thap uh boeh, hlaek khaw hlaek uh boeh. Na BOEIPA Pathen kah olpaek, nangmih kang uen te ngaithuen uh.

Make no addition to the orders which I give you, and take nothing from them, but keep the orders of the Lord your God which I give you.

3 Baalpeor ah BOEIPA loh a saii te na mik loh a hmuh uh coeng. Baalpeor hnukah aka cet hlang boeih te na BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih khui lamkah a mitmoeng sak coeng.

Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for destruction came from the Lord on all those among you who went after Baal-peor.

4 Tedae na BOEIPA Pathen aka ben nangmih tah tihnin due boeih na hing uh.

But you who kept faith with the Lord are living, every one of you, today.

5 So lah, nangmih te ka Pathen BOEIPA loh kai n'uen bangla oltlueh neh laitloeknah kan cang puei. Te te pang hamla pahoi aka kun nangmih loh tekah khohmuen khui ah vai uh.

I have been teaching you laws and decisions, as I was ordered to do by the Lord my God, so that you might keep them in the land to which you are going to take it for your heritage.

6 Pilnam kah mikhmuh ah na cueihnah neh na yakmingnah ham khaw he he ngaithuen uh lamtah vai uh. Tekah oltlueh boeih te a yaak uh vaengah, 'Hekah Pilnam bueng ni aka cueih tih aka thuep pilnu la aka om he,’ a ti uh ni.

So keep these laws and do them; for so will your wisdom and good sense be clear in the eyes of the peoples, who hearing all these laws will say, Truly, this great nation is a wise and far-seeing people.

7 Amah te mamih loh n'khue uh takuem ah mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen bangla aka hmaiben pathen te mebang pilnu ham lae a om eh.

For what great nation has a god so near to them as the Lord our God is, whenever we are turned to him in prayer?

8 Tihnin kah nangmih mikhmuh ah ka tloeng olkhueng boeih bangla aka dueng oltlueh neh laitloeknah he mebang pilnu ham bal lae?

And what great nation has laws and decisions so right as all this law which I put before you today?

9 Tedae namah te ngaithuen uh lamtah na hinglu khaw rhep ngaithuen. Na mik loh a hmuh hno te koeloe na hnilh ve, na hing tue khuiah na thinko lamloh nong ve. Te dongah na ca rhoek taeng neh na ca rhoek kah a ca rhoek taengah ming sak.

Only take care, and keep watch on your soul, for fear that the things which your eyes have seen go from your memory and from your heart all the days of your life; but let the knowledge of them be given to your children and to your children's children;

10 Na BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh ah na pai vaeng hnin ah BOEIPA loh Horeb ah, 'Pilnam te kamah taengah tingtun sak. Khohmuen kah mulhing rhoek loh a tue khuiah kai n'rhih uh ham kamah kah olka ka yaak sak vanbangla n'tukkil uh saeh lamtah a ca rhoek te tukkil uh saeh,’ a ti.

That day when you were waiting before the Lord your God in Horeb, and the Lord said to me, Make all the people come together, so that hearing my words they may go in fear of me all the days of their life on earth and give this teaching to their children.

11 Tedae na pawk uh tih tlang yung kah na pai uh vaengah tlang te hmai la alh tih vaan lungui te cingmai neh yinnah loh a hmuep sak.

And you came near, waiting at the foot of the mountain; and flames of fire went up from the mountain to the heart of heaven, with dark clouds, and all was black as night.

12 Te vaengah nangmih te BOEIPA loh hmai khui lamkah m'voek. A olcal ol te na yaak uh ngawn dae a ol bueng mai ni, A muei aka hmuh na om uh moenih.

And the voice of the Lord came to you out of the fire: the sound of his words came to your ears but you saw no form; there was nothing but a voice.

13 Te vaengah nangmih loh na vai uh ham ol lungrha n'uen te amah kah paipi la nangmih taengah a doek tih lungto lungpael panit dongah a daek.

And he gave you his agreement with you, the ten rules which you were to keep, which he put in writing on the two stones of the law.

14 Te dongah nangmih tukkil ham koi oltlueh neh nangmih loh na kun uh tih na pang uh ham koi khohmuen ah na vai uh ham laitloeknah khaw amah tekah khohnin ah ni BOEIPA loh kai n'uen pueng.

And the Lord gave me orders at that time to make clear to you these laws and decisions, so that you might do them in the land to which you are going, and which is to be your heritage.

15 Horeb ah BOEIPA loh hmai khui lamkah nangmih m'voek hnin vaengah a muei boeih na hmuh uh pawt dongah na hinglu te mat na ngaithuen uh.

So keep watch on yourselves with care; for you saw no form of any sort on the day when the voice of the Lord came to you in Horeb out of the heart of the fire:

16 Na poci uh vetih huta tongpa muei dongkah mueimae boeih,

So that you may not be turned to evil ways and make for yourselves an image in the form of any living thing, male or female,

17 Diklai dongkah rhamsa boeih kah a muei, vaan ah a phae neh aka ding vaa boeih kah a muei khaw,

Or any beast of the earth, or winged bird of the air,

18 diklai dongah aka colh boeih kah a muei, diklai hmui ah tui khuikah nga boeih kah muei khaw, nangmih ham mueithuk muei la na saii uh ve.

Or of anything which goes flat on the earth, or any fish in the water under the earth.

19 Na mik te vaan la na huel ve. Khomik, hla, aisi neh vaan caempuei boeih ke na hmuh vaengah na BOEIPA Pathen loh vaan hmui boeih kah pilnam rhoek boeih ham a hmoel taengah thothueng hamla na bakop thil vetih n'heh ve.

And when your eyes are lifted up to heaven, and you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the army of heaven, do not let yourselves be moved to give them worship, or become the servants of what the Lord has given equally to all peoples under heaven.

20 Tedae tahae khohnin kah bangla amah taengah rho aka pang pilnam la om sak ham ni nangmih te BOEIPA loh Egypt thi hmai-ulh khui lamkah n'loh tih n'khuen.

But the Lord has taken you out of the flaming fire, out of Egypt, to be to him the people of his heritage, as you are today.

21 Tedae nangmih kah olka dongah BOEIPA te kai taengah a thintoek. Te dongah Jordan ka lan pawt ham neh na BOEIPA Pathen loh nang taengah rho la m'paek khohmuen then khuiah kun pawt ham ol a coeng.

And the Lord was angry with me because of you, and made an oath that I was not to go over Jordan into the good land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage:

22 Kai tah hekah khohmuen ah ka duek vetih, Jordan te ka kat voel mahpawh. Tedae nangmih kat uh lamtah khohmuen then te pang uh.

But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.

23 Nangmih te ngaithuen uh, na Pathen BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah a saii paipi te na hnilh uh vetih na Pathen BOEIPA loh nang n'uen bangla a cungkuem muei kah mueithuk te namamih ham na saii uh ve.

Take care that you do not let the agreement of the Lord your God, which he has made with you, go out of your mind, or make for yourselves images of any sort, against the orders which the Lord your God has given you.

24 Na BOEIPA Pathen tah thatlai Pathen la om tih hmai bangla n'hlawp thai.

For the Lord your God is an all-burning fire, and he will not let the honour which is his be given to any other.

25 Ca na sak uh tih ca rhoek kah ca rhoek khaw khohmuen ah na ih nahnut ah na poci uh tih a cungkuem muei kah mueithuk te na saii uh atah, amah te veet hamla na Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni na saii uh.

If, when you have had children and children's children, and have been living a long time in the land, you are turned to evil ways, and make an image of any sort, and do evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, moving him to wrath:

26 Tihnin ah Jordan aka kat nangmih te khohmuen dong lamkah koeloe na milh rhoe na milh ham te vaan neh diklai he nangmih taengah kan laipai sak coeng. Khohmuen na pang uh cakhaw na khohnin loh sen uh pawt vetih a mit rhoe la na mit uh ni.

May heaven and earth be my witnesses against you today, that destruction will quickly overtake you, cutting you off from that land which you are going over Jordan to take; your days will not be long in that land, but you will come to a complete end.

27 Pilnam rhoek lakli ah nangmih te BOEIPA loh n'taekyaak vetih hlang sii la aka cul te khaw namtom taengla na BOEIPA loh m'vai ni.

And the Lord will send you wandering among the peoples; only a small band of you will be kept from death among the nations where the Lord will send you.

28 Te vaengah hlang kut loh lungto thingngo neh a sai pathen, aka hmu mueh, aka ya thai mueh, aka ca thai mueh neh aka him thai mueh te ni tho na thueng thil eh.

There you will be the servants of gods, made by men's hands, of wood and stone, having no power of seeing or hearing or taking food or smelling.

29 Na Pathen BOEIPA te tekah khohmuen lamkah na thuep uh tih na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih neh na tlap atah na hmuh van ni.

But if in those lands you are turned again to the Lord your God, searching for him with all your heart and soul, he will not keep himself from you.

30 Vuenvai ah nang ham khobing tih hekah olka boeih loh nang taengla ha pawk uh vaengah na BOEIPA Pathen taengla na bal vetih a ol te na yaak atah,

When you are in trouble and all these things have come on you, if, in the future, you are turned again to the Lord your God, and give ear to his voice:

31 na Pathen BOEIPA he thinphoei Pathen la a om dongah nang te n'rhael pawt vetih m'phae mahpawh. Na pa rhoek taengah a caeng paipi te khaw hnilh mahpawh.

Because the Lord your God is a God of mercy, he will not take away his help from you or let destruction overtake you, or be false to the agreement which he made by an oath with your fathers.

32 Diklai dongah Pathen loh hlang a suen khohnin lamloh na mikhmuh ah aka om hnukbuet tue te dawt laeh. Te dongah vaan khobawt lamkah vaan khobawt duela tahae kah hno len bangla om vai nim? Te bang te n'yaak vai nim?

Give thought now to the days which are past, before your time, from the day when God first gave life to man on the earth, and searching from one end of heaven to the other, see if such a great thing as this has ever been, or if anything like it has been talked of in story.

33 Hmai khui lamkah a thui Pathen kah ol te nang loh na yaak bangla pilnam loh a yaak tih a hing puei van nim?

Has any people ever gone on living after hearing the voice of God out of the heart of the fire as you did?

34 Na Pathen BOEIPA loh Egypt ah nangmih ham na mikhmuh ah a saii bangla namtom khui lamkah namtom te amah ham aka lo la a paan tih noemcainah neh, miknoek neh, kopoekrhai neh, caemtloek neh, tlungluen kut neh, ban lam neh, rhimomnah tangkik neh a tloe pathen loh a noemcai a?

Has God ever before taken a nation for himself from out of another nation, by punishments and signs and wonders, by war and by a strong hand and a stretched-out arm and great acts of wonder and fear, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes?

35 BOEIPA Pathen amah phoeiah a tloe Pathen om pawh tila ming sak ham nang n'tueng coeng.

All this he let you see, so that you might be certain that the Lord is God and there is no other.

36 Nangmih toel ham ni a ol te vaan lamloh nang n'yaak sak. Diklai dongah khaw amah kah hmai puei te nang n'tueng coeng dongah amah kah olka te hmai khui lamkah na yaak coeng.

Out of heaven itself his voice came to you, teaching you; and on earth he let you see his great fire; and his words came to your ears out of the heart of the fire.

37 Na pa rhoek te khaw a lungnah dongah ni a hnukkah a tiingan te khaw a coelh tih a mikhmuh ah a thadueng a len neh Egypt lamloh nang n'khuen.

And because of his love for your fathers, he took their seed and made it his, and he himself, present among you, took you out of Egypt by his great power;

38 Amah tihnin kah bangla nang mawt ham neh amih kah khohmuen te nang taengah rho la paek ham rhoe ni nang lakah aka len neh pilnu namtom te na mikhmuh lamloh a haek.

Driving out before you nations greater and stronger than you, to take you into their land and give it to you for your heritage, as at this day.

39 Te dongah tihnin ah ming lamtah na thinko khui ah dueh laeh. BOEIPA Pathen amah bang he vaan so ah khaw, diklai hman neh a khui ah khaw a om bal moenih.

So today be certain, and keep the knowledge deep in your hearts, that the Lord is God, in heaven on high and here on earth; there is no other God.

40 Namah neh na hnukkah na ca rhoek khaw khophoeng a pha van ham tah tihnin ah kai loh nang kang uen oltlueh neh olpaek he ngaithuen. Te daengah ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh na hing tue khui boeih ham nang m'paek khohmuen ah na hinglung a vang eh?,’ a ti.

Then keep his laws and his orders which I give you today, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, and that your lives may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for ever.

41 Te vaengah Moses loh khomik khocuk la aka dan uh Jordan rhalvangan kah khopuei pathum te a hoep tih,

Then Moses had three towns marked out on the far side of Jordan looking to the east;

42 U khaw a ming mueh neh hlaem hlavai lamkah a taengah a hmuhuet mueh mai ah a hui te a ngawn atah tekah hlang aka ngawn loh a rhaelrham vaengah te tekah khopuei khat khat la rhaelrham sak tih hinglu hlawt sak ham,

To which anyone causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate, might go in flight; so that in one of these towns he might be kept from death:

43 Reuben koca kah tlangkol khohmuen, khosoek ah Bezer neh, Gad koca kah Gilead ah Ramoth khaw, Manasseh koca kah Bashan ah Golan te a hoep.

The names of the towns were Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for Manasseh.

44 Hekah olkhueng he Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Moses loh a khueh pah tih,

This is the law which Moses put before the children of Israel:

45 Hekah olphong neh oltlueh khaw laitloeknah he khaw Egypt lamkah halo vaengah Israel ca rhoek taengah Moses loh a uen.

These are the rules and the laws and the decisions which Moses gave to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt;

46 Moses neh Israel ca rhoek loh Egypt lamkah halo vaengah Jordan rhalvang, Bethpeor imdan kolrhawk khuikah neh Sihon khohmuen dongkah Heshbon ah aka om Amori manghai te a tloek tih,

On the far side of Jordan, in the valley facing Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel overcame after they had come out of Egypt:

47 amah khohmuen la, khomik khocuk Jordan rhalvang kah Amori manghai rhoi neh Bashan manghai Oga kah khohmuen,

And they took his land for a heritage, and the land of Og, king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, whose lands were on the other side of Jordan to the east;

48 Arnon soklong tuikung Aroer lamkah Hermon kah Siyon tlang due,

From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Sion, which is Hermon,

49 Jordan rhalvang khocuk benkah kolken pum neh Pisgah tuibah hmuikah kolken tuitunli due pataeng a huul uh.

And all the Arabah on the far side of Jordan to the east, as far as the sea of the Arabah under the slopes of Pisgah.
