Olrhaepnah 5
1 Israel pum te Moses loh a khue tih,” Aw Israel, tihnin ah nangmih hna kaepah kai loh kan thui oltlueh neh laitloeknah he hnatun lah. Te dongah te te cang uh lamtah na vai ham khaw ngaithuen uh lah.
And Moses sent for all Israel, and said to them, Give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I give you today, and give attention to them so that you may keep and do them.
2 Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh Horeb ah mamih taengah paipi a sai coeng.
The Lord our God made an agreement with us in Horeb.
3 A pa rhoek nen bueng pawt tih tihnin kah mamih neh mamih taengkah mulhing boeih nen khaw tahae kah paipi he BOEIPA loh a sai coeng.
The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.
4 Tlang ah maelhmai neh maelhmai rhoi hum uh tih nangmih te BOEIPA loh hmai khui lamkah m'voek coeng.
The word of the Lord came to you face to face on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire,
5 Amah te vaeng hnin ah hmai te na rhih uh tih tlang la na yoeng uh pawt dongah BOEIPA kah olka loh nangmih taengah,
(I was between the Lord and you at that time, to make clear to you the word of the Lord: because, through fear of the fire, you did not go up the mountain; ) saying,
6 'Kai tah Egypt kho kah sal im lamkah nang aka khuen na BOEIPA Pathen ni.
I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
7 Ka mikhmuh ah a tloe pathen loh nang taengah om boel saeh.
You are to have no other gods but me.
8 Vaan dong so neh diklai khui ah khaw, tui neh tui khui ah khaw diklai ah khat khat kah mueithuk muei te namah ham saii boeh.
You may not make for yourselves an image in the form of anything in heaven or on earth or in the waters under the earth:
9 Amih te bakop thil boeh, amih taengah thothueng boeh. Kai, na BOEIPA Pathen he thatlai Pathen la ka om dongah a napa rhoek kathaesainah te a ca rhoek pum dongah a khongthum duela, kai aka hmuhuet rhoek te a khongli duela ka cawh.
You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
10 Tedae kai aka lungnah tih ka olpaek te olpaek bangla aka ngaithuen rhoek taengah a thawng thawng la sitlohnah ka saii pah.
And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
11 A poeyoek la a ming aka yan te BOEIPA loh hmil mahpawh. Te dongah na BOEIPA Pathen ming te a poeyoek la yan mailai boeh.
You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged as a sinner by the Lord.
12 Sabbath hnin ngaithuen ham neh ciim ham te na BOEIPA Pathen loh nang n'uen vanbangla,
Keep the Sabbath day as a holy day, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God.
13 Hnin rhuk ah thotat lamtah na bitat te boeih saii.
On six days do all your work:
14 Tedae a rhih khohnin te tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah Sabbath la om tih namah neh na canu na capa khaw, na salnu neh salpa khaw, na vaito, na laak neh na rhamsa boeih khaw, na vongka khuikah yinlai khaw bi saii boel saeh. Te daengah ni na salnu neh na salpa te namah bangla a duem eh.
But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day do no work, you or your son or your daughter, or your man-servant or your woman-servant, or your ox or your ass or any of your cattle, or the man from a strange country who is living among you; so that your man-servant and your woman-servant may have rest as well as you.
15 Egypt kho ah sal la na om vaengah BOEIPA na Pathen loh tlungluen kut neh, a ban a thueng tih te lamloh nang n'khuen te poek lah. Te dongah Sabbath hnin na saii ham te na BOEIPA Pathen loh nang n'uen coeng.
And keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out of that land by his strong hand and his stretched-out arm: for this reason the Lord has given you orders to keep the Sabbath day.
16 BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang n'uen vanbangla na nu neh na pa te thangpom lah. Te daengah ni na BOEIPA Pathen loh nang m'paek khohmuen ah na hinglung loh vang vetih nang te khophoeng m'pha sak van eh.
Give honour to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
17 Hlang ngawn boeh.
Do not put anyone to death without cause.
18 Samphaih boeh.
Do not be false to the married relation.
19 Huencan boeh.
Do not take the property of another.
20 Na hui te laipai neh a poeyoek la doo boeh.
Do not give false witness against your neighbour;
21 Na hui kah a yuu khaw nai pah boeh. Na hui kah a im a lo khaw, a salnu neh a salpa, a vaito neh a laak khaw, na hui kah hno boeih te tah nai pah boeh,’ a ti te thui ham la kai loh BOEIPA laklo neh nangmih laklo ah ka pai.
Or let your desire be turned to your neighbour's wife, or his house or his field or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is your neighbour's.
22 Hekah olka he BOEIPA loh nangmih hlangping boeih ham tlang ah hmai, cingmai neh yinnah khui lamkah ol ue la a thui tih a thap mueh la lungto lungpael panit dongah a daek phoeiah kai taengla m'paek.
These words the Lord said to all of you together on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire, out of the cloud and the dark, with a great voice: and he said no more; he put them in writing on the two stones of the law and gave them to me.
23 Khohmuep khui lamkah ol te na yaak uh. Tlang te hmai alh la a om vaengah nangmih koca khuikah a lu rhoek boeih neh a hamca rhoek loh kai taengla na pawk uh.
And after hearing the voice which came out of the dark while the mountain was burning with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your chiefs came to me,
24 Te phoeiah, 'Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh amah kah thangpomnah, a boeilennah neh mamih taengla ha tueng coeng tih hmai khui lamkah a ol khaw tihnin ah n'yaak uh. Te dongah Pathen loh a voek hlang khaw hing van tila m'hmuh uh coeng he.
And said, The Lord has let us see his glory and his power, and his voice has come to us out of the fire: today we have seen that a man may go on living even after hearing the voice of God.
25 Tahae ah khaw balae tih hekah hmai puei loh mamih n'hlawp vetih n'duek uh eh. Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen ol he koep yaak ham mamih loh n'khoep uh koinih n'duek uh pawn ni.
Why then is death to be our fate? For if the voice of the Lord our God comes to us any more, death will overtake us, and we will be burned up in this great fire.
26 Pumsa boeih khuiah hmai khui lamkah aka cal tih aka hing Pathen ol aka ya te unim mamih bangla aka hing.
For what man is there in all the earth, who, hearing the voice of the living God as we have, out of the heart of the fire, has been kept from death?
27 Namah te cet lamtah mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh a thui boeih te hnatun. Te phoeiah mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh nang taengah a thui boeih te kaimih taengah na thui vetih ka yaak uh vaengah ka ngai uh bitni,’ na ti uh.
Do you go near: and after hearing everything which the Lord our God has to say, give us an account of all he has said to you, and we will give ear, and do it.
28 Kai taengah na cal uh vaengkah nangmih olka ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak. Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, 'Hekah pilnam loh nang taengah a thui olka ol te ka yaak vaengah a thui uh te boeih then.
Then the Lord, hearing your words to me, said to me, The words which this people have said to you have come to my ears: what they have said is well said.
29 Kai rhih ham neh a hing khuiah ka olpaek boeih te ngaithuen ham mah amih kah thinko loh a paan tih om saeh. Te daengah ni amamih neh a ca rhoek loh kumhal duela khophoeng a pha eh.
If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!
30 Cet laeh, na dap la bal lamtah amih te thui pah.
Now say to them, Go back to your tents.
31 Tedae nang tah ka taengah om lamtah amih na cang puei ham olpaek, oltlueh neh laitloeknah boeih te nang taengah kang uen eh. Te daengah ni amih loh a pang ham amih taengah ka paek khohmuen ah khaw a vai uh eh,’ a ti.
But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.
32 Te dongah na BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih n'uen bangla na saii ham te ngaithuen lamtah banvoei bantang la phael uh boeh.
Take care, then, to do whatever the Lord your God has given you orders to do; let there be no turning away to the right hand or to the left.
33 Na BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih n'uen longpuei boeih dongah pongpa uh. Te daengah ni na hing uh vaengah nangmih ham hoeikhang vetih na pang uh ham khohmuen ah na hinglung khaw a vang eh?,” a ti nah.
Go on walking in the way ordered for you by the Lord your God, so that life may be yours and it may be well for you, and your days may be long in the land of your heritage.
