< Olrhaepnah 4 >
1 Israel aw oltlueh neh laitloeknah te hnatun laeh. Tete vai hamla nangmih kan cang puei. Te daengahnina hinguh tihna phauh vaengah khaw na parhoek kah Pathen BOEIPAloh nangmih taengah m'paek khohmuen tena pang uh eh.
Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do them, that you may live and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, gives you.
2 Kailoh nangmih kang uen olka he thap khaw thap uh boeh, hlaek khaw hlaek uh boeh. Na BOEIPA Pathen kah olpaek, nangmih kang uen te ngaithuenuh.
You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
3 Baalpeor ah BOEIPAloh a saii te na mikloh a hmuhuh coeng. Baalpeor hnukahaka cet hlang boeih te na BOEIPA Pathenloh nangmih khui lamkaha mitmoeng sak coeng.
Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal Peor; for the LORD your God has destroyed all the men who followed Baal Peor from amongst you.
4 Tedae na BOEIPA Pathenaka ben nangmih tah tihnin due boeih na hinguh.
But you who were faithful to the LORD your God are all alive today.
5 So lah, nangmih te ka Pathen BOEIPAloh kai n'uen bangla oltlueh neh laitloeknah kan cang puei. Te te pang hamla pahoiaka kun nangmihloh tekah khohmuen khui ah vaiuh.
Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do so in the middle of the land where you go in to possess it.
6 Pilnam kah mikhmuh ahna cueihnah nehna yakmingnah ham khaw he he ngaithuenuh lamtah vaiuh. Tekah oltlueh boeih tea yaakuh vaengah, 'Hekah Pilnam bueng ni aka cueih tihaka thuep pilnu la aka om he,’ a ti uh ni.
Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who shall hear all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
7 Amah te mamih loh n'khueuh takuem ah mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen banglaaka hmaiben pathente mebang pilnu ham lae a om eh.
For what great nation is there that has a god so near to them as the LORD our God is whenever we call on him?
8 Tihnin kah nangmih mikhmuh ah ka tloeng olkhueng boeih banglaaka dueng oltlueh neh laitloeknah he mebang pilnu ham bal lae?
What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I set before you today?
9 Tedae namah te ngaithuenuh lamtah na hinglu khaw rhep ngaithuen. Na mikloh a hmuh hno te koeloe na hnilh ve, na hing tue khuiah na thinko lamloh nong ve. Te dongah na carhoek taeng neh na ca rhoek kah a carhoek taengah ming sak.
Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—
10 Na BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh ahna pai vaeng hninah BOEIPAloh Horeb ah, 'Pilnam te kamah taengah tingtun sak. Khohmuen kah mulhing rhoek loh a tue khuiah kai n'rhihuh ham kamah kah olka ka yaak sak vanbangla n'tukkil uh saeh lamtah a ca rhoekte tukkil uh saeh,’ a ti.
the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, “Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.”
11 Tedaena pawkuh tih tlang yung kahna paiuh vaengah tlangte hmai la alhtih vaan lungui te cingmai neh yinnahloh a hmuep sak.
You came near and stood under the mountain. The mountain burnt with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
12 Te vaengah nangmih te BOEIPAloh hmai khui lamkah m'voek. A olcal olte na yaak uh ngawn daea ol bueng mai ni, A mueiaka hmuh na om uh moenih.
The LORD spoke to you out of the middle of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice.
13 Te vaengah nangmih loh na vaiuh ham ol lungrha n'uen te amah kah paipi la nangmih taengaha doek tih lungto lungpael panit dongaha daek.
He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments. He wrote them on two stone tablets.
14 Te dongah nangmih tukkil ham koi oltlueh neh nangmih loh na kun uh tih na panguh ham koi khohmuen ah na vaiuh ham laitloeknah khaw amah tekah khohnin ahni BOEIPAloh kai n'uen pueng.
The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.
15 Horeb ah BOEIPAloh hmai khui lamkah nangmih m'voek hnin vaengaha muei boeihna hmuhuh pawt dongah na hinglu te matna ngaithuenuh.
Be very careful, for you saw no kind of form on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the middle of the fire,
16 Na pociuh vetih huta tongpa muei dongkah mueimae boeih,
lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself a carved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17 Diklai dongkah rhamsa boeihkaha muei, vaan aha phae neh aka ding vaa boeihkaha muei khaw,
the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
18 diklai dongahaka colh boeihkaha muei, diklai hmui ah tui khuikah nga boeih kah muei khaw, nangmih ham mueithuk muei la na saiiuh ve.
the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
19 Na mikte vaan lana huel ve. Khomik, hla, aisi neh vaan caempuei boeih kena hmuh vaengah na BOEIPA Pathenloh vaan hmui boeih kah pilnamrhoek boeih hama hmoel taengah thothueng hamlana bakop thil vetih n'heh ve.
and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.
20 Tedae tahae khohnin kah bangla amah taengah rhoaka 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, and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as it is today.
21 Tedae nangmih kah olka dongah BOEIPAte kai taengah a thintoek. Te dongah Jordan ka lan pawt ham neh na BOEIPA Pathenloh nang taengah rho la m'paek khohmuen then khuiah kun pawt ham ola coeng.
Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance;
22 Kai tah hekah khohmuen ah ka duek vetih, Jordan te ka kat voel mahpawh. Tedae nangmih katuh lamtah khohmuen then te panguh.
but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.
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.
Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.
24 Na BOEIPA Pathen tah thatlai Pathen la om tih hmai bangla n'hlawp thai.
For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
25 Cana sakuh tih carhoek kah carhoek khaw khohmuen ahna ih nahnut ah na pociuh tiha cungkuem muei kah mueithuk te na saiiuh atah, amahte veet hamla na Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethaenina saiiuh.
When you father children and children’s children, and you have been long in the land, and then corrupt yourselves, and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight to provoke him to anger,
26 Tihninah Jordanaka kat nangmih te khohmuen dong lamkah koeloena milh rhoe na milh ham te vaan neh diklai he nangmih taengah kan laipai sak coeng. Khohmuen na pang uh cakhaw na khohninloh senuh pawt vetiha mit rhoe la na mit uh ni.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from off the land which you go over the Jordan to possess it. You will not prolong your days on it, but will utterly be destroyed.
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.
The LORD will scatter you amongst the peoples, and you will be left few in number amongst the nations where the LORD will lead you away.
28 Te vaengah hlang kutloh lungto thingngo neh a sai pathen, aka hmu mueh, aka ya thai mueh, aka ca thai mueh nehaka him thai mueh teni tho na thueng thil eh.
There you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29 Na Pathen BOEIPA te tekah khohmuen lamkahna thuepuh tih na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih nehna tlap atahna hmuh van ni.
But from there you shall seek the LORD your God, and you will find him when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30 Vuenvai ah nang ham khobing tih hekah olka boeihloh nang taengla ha pawkuh vaengah na BOEIPA Pathen taenglana bal vetih a ol tena yaak atah,
When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to the LORD your God and listen to his voice.
31 na Pathen BOEIPA he thinphoei Pathen la a om dongah nang te n'rhael pawt vetih m'phae mahpawh. Na parhoek taengaha caeng paipi te khaw hnilh mahpawh.
For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not fail you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
32 Diklai dongah Pathenloh hlanga suen khohnin lamloh na mikhmuh ahaka 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?
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as great as this thing is, or has been heard like it?
33 Hmai khui lamkaha thui Pathen kah olte nang loh na yaak bangla pilnamloh a yaak tiha hing puei van nim?
Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
34 Na Pathen BOEIPAloh Egypt ah nangmih ham na mikhmuh aha saii bangla namtom khui lamkah namtomte amah hamaka lo laa paantih noemcainah neh, miknoek neh, kopoekrhai neh, caemtloek neh, tlungluen kut neh, ban lam neh, rhimomnah tangkik neh a tloe pathenloh a noemcai a?
Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from amongst another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35 BOEIPA Pathen amah phoeiaha tloe Pathen om pawh tila ming sak ham nang n'tuengcoeng.
It was shown to you so that you might know that the LORD is God. There is no one else besides him.
36 Nangmih toel hamni a ol te vaan lamloh nang n'yaak sak. Diklai dongah khaw amah kah hmai puei te nang n'tueng coeng dongah amah kah olkate hmai khui lamkahna yaakcoeng.
Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you. On earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the middle of the fire.
37 Na parhoek te khawa lungnah dongahni a hnukkah a tiingan te khawa coelh tih a mikhmuh ah a thaduenga len neh Egypt lamloh nang n'khuen.
Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their offspring after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;
38 Amah tihnin kah bangla nang mawt ham neh amih kah khohmuen te nang taengah rho la paek ham rhoe ni nang lakahaka len neh pilnu namtomte na mikhmuh lamloha haek.
to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today.
39 Te dongah tihninah ming lamtah na thinkokhui ah duehlaeh. BOEIPA Pathen amah bang he vaan so ah khaw, diklai hman neh a khui ah khaw a om bal moenih.
Know therefore today, and take it to heart, that the LORD himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no one else.
40 Namah neh na hnukkah na carhoek khaw khophoeng a pha van ham tah tihninah kailoh nang kang uen oltlueh neh olpaek he ngaithuen. Te daengahni BOEIPA na Pathen loh na hing tuekhui boeih ham nang m'paek khohmuen ahna hinglunga vang eh?,’ a ti.
You shall keep his statutes and his commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD your God gives you for all time.
41 Te vaengah Mosesloh khomik khocuk la aka dan uh Jordan rhalvangan kah khopuei pathum te a hoep tih,
Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan towards the sunrise,
42 U khaw a ming mueh neh hlaem hlavai lamkah a taengaha hmuhuet mueh mai ah a hui tea ngawn atah tekah hlang aka ngawnloh a rhaelrham vaengah te tekah khopuei khat khat la rhaelrham sak tih hinglu hlawt sak ham,
that the man slayer might flee there, who kills his neighbour unintentionally and didn’t hate him in time past, and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
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.
Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
44 Hekah olkhueng he Israel carhoek kah mikhmuh ah Mosesloh a khueh pah tih,
This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
45 Hekah olphong neh oltlueh khaw laitloeknah he khaw Egypt lamkah halo vaengah Israel carhoek taengah Mosesloh a uen.
These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances which Moses spoke to the children of Israel when 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 ahaka om Amori manghai tea tloek tih,
beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck when they came out of Egypt.
47 amah khohmuen la, khomik khocuk Jordan rhalvang kah Amori manghai rhoi neh Bashan manghai Oga kah khohmuen,
They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan towards the sunrise;
48 Arnon soklong tuikung Aroer lamkah Hermon kah Siyon tlang due,
from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Zion (also called Hermon),
49 Jordan rhalvang khocuk benkah kolken pum neh Pisgah tuibah hmuikah kolken tuitunli due pataenga huuluh.
and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
