Thothuengnah 26

1 Mueirhol khaw, mueithuk khaw namamih ham saii uh boeh. Kaam khaw namamih ham ling uh boeh. Kai tah na BOEIPA Pathen la ka om dongah a hmaiah bakop thil ham lung thuk khaw na kho ah khueh uh boeh.

“Don't make yourselves idols anywhere in your land and bow down to worship them, whether they are images or sacred pillars or stone sculptures. For I am the Lord your God.

2 Ka Sabbath te tuem uh lamtah ka rhokso te rhih uh. Kai tah BOEIPA ni.

Keep my Sabbaths and show respect for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

3 Ka khosing te na vai uh atah ka olpaek khaw ngaithuen uh lamtah saii uh.

If you follow my rules and keep my regulations,

4 Te daengah ni amah tuetang vaengah nangmih ham khonal kan tueih vetih diklai loh a cangpai m'paek phoeiah khohmuen kah thingkung long khaw a thaih a thaih eh.

I will make sure it rains at the right time so that the ground will grow good crops and the fruit trees will be productive.

5 Te vaengah na cangtil loh misurbit due a pha vetih na misurbit loh na rhoktuh tue te a pha ni. Na buh khaw kodam la na caak uh vetih na khohmuen ah ngaikhuek la kho na sak uh ni.

Your time of threshing will last right up to the grape harvest, and the grape harvest until the time you have to sow again. You will have more than enough to eat and you will live in safety in your land.

6 Khohmuen te rhoepnah ka paek vetih lakueng om mueh la na yalh uh ni. Khohmuen lamkah boethae mulhing khaw ka kangkuen sak vetih na khohmuen te cunghang loh khawkkhek mahpawh.

I will make sure your land is at peace. You will be able to sleep without being afraid of anything. I will get rid of dangerous animals from the land, and you will not suffer from any violent enemy attacks.

7 Na thunkha pataeng na hloem vaengah na mikhmuh kah cunghang dongah cungku uh ni.

You will chase your enemies, and kill them with the sword.

8 Te vaengah nangmih khuikah panga loh yakhat te a hloem uh vetih yakhat loh thawngrha khaw a hloem ni. Na thunkha rhoek khaw na mikhmuh kah cunghang dongah cungku uh ni.

Five of you will kill one hundred, and one hundred of you will kill ten thousand. You will destroy your enemies.

9 Nangmih taengla ka mael vetih kam pungtai sak phoeiah kan rhoeng sak ni. Ka paipi te khaw nangmih taengah ka thoh ni.

I will come to help you, so you will reproduce and increase in numbers, and I will confirm my agreement with you.

10 Cang rhuem aka ip te na caak uh vetih cang thai ham te cang rhuem na hlah uh ni.

You'll still be eating your old stock of grain when you need to get rid of it so you can store the new grain.

11 Nangmih lakli ah ka dap ka khueh vetih nangmih te ka hinglu loh n'tuei voel mahpawh.

I will come and live with you—I certainly won't reject you.

12 Nangmih lakli ah ka pongpa vetih nangmih kah Pathen la ka om vaengah nangmih khaw ka pilnam la na om uh ni.

I shall always be right there with you. I will be your God, and you will be my people.

13 Egypt kho lamkah nangmih aka doek te khaw na BOEIPA Pathen kamah ni. Amih sal la na om khui lamkah na hnamkun hnokohcung khaw ka khaem tih nangmih te a dueng la kan caeh sak.

I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt so you wouldn't have to be slaves to the Egyptians any longer. I smashed the yoke that kept you bent down and helped you to stand up straight.

14 Tedae ka ol na ngai uh pawt tih hekah olpaek boeih he na vai uh pawt atah,

But if you don't pay attention to me and do what I tell you;

15 ka khosing te na sawtsit uh tih na hinglu loh ka laitloeknah te a tuei dongah ka olpaek boeih te vai pawt ham ka paipi te na phae uh atah,

if you reject my laws, hate my regulations, and refuse to follow my commandments, and consequently break my agreement,

16 kai loh nangmih ham hekah he ka saii van ni. Te vaengah kositloh neh mik hum satloh te nangmih soah lungmitnah la kan hlak vetih na hinglu a mueipuel ni. Na cangti khaw a poeyoek la na tuh vetih na thunkha long ni a caak eh.

then this is what I am going to do to you: I will make you panic, and suffer from diseases like tuberculosis and fever that make you blind and drain your life away. It will be pointless for you to sow seed in your fields because your enemies will eat the harvest.

17 Nangmih taengah ka hmai ka khueh vetih na thunkha rhoek kah mikhmuh ah na paloe uh ni. Na lunguet rhoek loh nangmih te n'taemrhai uh vetih nangmih n'hloem pawt cakhaw na rhaelrham uh ni.

I will turn against you, and you'll be defeated by your enemies. People who hate you will rule over you, and you'll run away even when there's no one chasing you!

18 He rhoek phoeiah khaw ka ol te na yaak uh pawt atah namamih kah tholh dongah voeirhih duela nangmih te toel ham ka khoep van ni.

If after all this you still refuse to obey me, I will move to punishing you seven times over for your sins.

19 Nangmih kah hoemdamnah sarhi te ka khaem vetih na vaan ke thi bangla, na diklai he khaw rhohum bangla ka khueh ni.

I will break your self-reliant strength you're so proud of, and make your sky hard as iron and your land hard as bronze.

20 Na khohmuen loh a cangpai m'pae pawt dongah na thadueng khaw a poeyoek la boeih vetih khohmuen kah thingkung khaw a thaih thaii mahpawh.

Your strength will be completely wasted because your land won't produce crops, and your trees won't produce fruit.

21 Kai taengah boekoekthingka la na om uh tih ka ol ngai ham na huem uh pawt van atah na tholh tarhing ah hmasoe parhih duela nangmih soah kan khoep sak van ni.

If you go on opposing me and refusing to do what I tell you, I will make your punishments seven times worse, based on your sins.

22 Kohong mulhing te nang taengla kan tueih vetih namamih khaw cakol la n'khueh uh ni. Na rhamsa te a thup vaengah voehvoeh na muei uh vetih na longpuei khaw sut pong ni.

I will send wild animals to kill your children, wipe out your livestock, and make you so few in number that there won't be anyone on your roads.

23 He phoeiah pataeng kai taengah na toel uh pawt tih kai soah boekoekthingka la na pongpa uh mai ni.

However, if in spite of all this correction you still don't change but go on opposing me,

24 Te vaengah kai ngawn tah nangmih taengah boekoekthingka la ka lo vetih namamih kah tholhnah dongah voeirhih duela kang ngawn van ni.

then I will take action against you. I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

25 Phulohnah paipi neh phu aka lo cunghang te nangmih soah kang khuen ni. Na khopuei ah kan coi phoeiah nangmih lakli ah duektahaw kan tueih vetih thunkha kut dongah kam voeih ni.

I will send enemies with swords to attack you in retaliation for breaking the agreement. Even though you retreat into your towns for defense, I will plague you with disease, and you will be handed over to your enemies.

26 Nangmih kah thahuelnah buh te kai loh ka khah vaengah na buh te huta parha loh tapkhuel pakhat dongah a thong uh ni. Te vaengah na buh te amah tarhing neh ham phom uh vetih na caak uh suidae na hah uh mahpawh.

I will send a famine so bread is in short supply. One oven will serve the needs of ten women baking bread. It will be distributed by weight so that you'll eat but won't have enough.

27 He phoeiah pataeng kai taengah na khinngai uh pawt tih kai soah boekoekthingka la na pongpa uh atah,

However, if in spite of all this you don't obey me, but go on opposing me,

28 nangmih taengah kosi neh boekoekthingka la ka lo van vetih nangmih te namamih kah tholh dongah voeirhih duela kan toel ni.

then I will take action against you in a rage of fury, and I will punish you myself seven times over for your sins.

29 Te vaengah na capa rhoek kah a saa te na caak uh vetih na canu rhoek kah a saa khaw na caak uh ni.

You will eat the bodies of your own sons and daughters.

30 Nangmih kah hmuensang te ka mit sak vetih na bunglawn khaw ka vung ni. Nangmih kah mueirhol thingkoh soah na rhok te ka hmoek vetih nangmih te ka hinglu loh a tuei ni.

I will destroy your high places of worship, smash your altars of incense, and pile up your dead bodies on what remains of your idols, which also have no life at all. I will really despise you.

31 Na khopuei te imrhong la ka khueh vetih na rhokso khaw ka pong sak ni. Nangmih kah hmuehmuei botui khaw ka him mahpawh.

I will demolish your towns and destroy your pagan sanctuaries, and I will refuse to accept your sacrifices.

32 Khohmuen te khaw ka pong sak vetih a khuikah kho aka sa na thunkha rhoek te pong uh ni.

I will devastate your land myself, so that your enemies who come and live in it will be horrified at what has happened.

33 Nangmih te namtom rhoek taengah kan thaek kan yak phoeiah na hnukah cunghang neh kan thun ni. Te vaengah na khohmuen loh khopong la om vetih na khopuei rhoek khaw imrhong la poeh uh ni.

I'm going to scatter you among the nations. You will be chased out by armies with swords as your land is ruined and your towns are destroyed.

34 Khohmuen loh a Sabbath te a pong tue khuiah uum saeh. Nangmih te na thunkha khohmuen ah na om uh vaengah khohmuen khaw kangkuen saeh lamtah a Sabbath te uum saeh.

At least then the land will be able to enjoy its Sabbaths all the time it's abandoned while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. The land will finally be able to rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35 A khuiah kho na sak uh vaengkah na Sabbath ah a duem pawt yueng te a pong tue khuiah tah duem saeh.

The whole time it's abandoned the land will observe the Sabbaths of rest that it wasn't able to do while you were living there.

36 Nangmih khuikah aka sueng rhoek pataeng a thunkha rhoek kah khohmuen ah a thinko te rhiyawpnah ka paek ni. Amih te hloem pawt cakhaw hawn a yawn ol loh a hloem vaengah cunghang kah a hloem bangla yonglong ah rhaelrham uh vetih cungku uh ni.

I will make those of you who survive so discouraged that as you live in the lands of your enemies even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will scare you into running away! You'll run away like you're being chased by someone with a sword, and fall down even though no one is after you.

37 N'hloem uh pawt cakhaw cunghang ha dongkah bangla hlang long he a manuca pataeng a paloe thil vetih na thunkha rhoek hmai ah na oelnah om mahpawh.

You'll trip over each other as you run away from the attack, then though no one's there. You'll have no power to resist your enemies.

38 Namtom taengah na milh uh vetih na thunkha rhoek kah khohmuen loh nangmih te n'yoop ni.

You'll die in exile and you'll be buried in a foreign country.

39 Nangmih khui lamkah aka sueng rhoek te na thunkha rhoek kah khohmuen ah amamih kah thaesainah dongah muei uh vetih, a napa rhoek kah thaesainah dongah khaw amih te muei ni.

Those of you who do manage to survive in the countries of your enemies will wither away because of their guilt, decaying as they share the sins of their fathers.

40 A boekoeknah la kai taengah boe a koek uh tih kai soah boekoekthingka la a caeh uh vaengah amamih kah thaesainah neh a napa rhoek kah thaesainah te a omtoem uh mai ni.

They need to confess their sins and those of their fathers, acting in such an unfaithful way towards me, opposing me.

41 Kai khaw amih taengah boekoekthingka la ka cet vetih amih te thunkha rhoek kah khohmuen la ka thak ni. Tedae amih kah thinko pumdul loh a kunyun daengah ni amamih kah thaesainah khaw a moeithen eh.

Because of this I took action against them and exiled them in the countries of their enemies. However, if they humbly give up their stubborn attitude and accept their punishment for their sins,

42 Jakob taengkah ka paipi khaw, Isaak taengkah ka paipi khaw ka thoelh ni. Abraham taengkah ka paipi khaw ka thoelh vetih khohmuen te ka ngaidam ni.

then I will fulfill the agreement I made with Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham, and I will not forget my promise about the land.

43 Amih om mueh la a pong sut vaengah amih kah a hnoo khohmuen loh amah kah Sabbath te a uum ni. Ka laitloeknah a hnawt uh tih a hinglu loh ka khosing a tuei dongah amih kah thaesainah a thung ni.

For the land will be left empty by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths being abandoned. They will pay for their sins, because they rejected my rules and regulations.

44 Kai tah amih kah BOEIPA Pathen la ka om dongah amih he a thunkha rhoek kah khohmuen ah a om vaengah pataeng amih taengkah ka paipi phae ham neh amih thup ham aih tah amih te ka hnawt pawt vetih ka tuei mahpawh.

But despite all this, even while they are living in land of their enemies, I will not reject or hate them so much as to destroy them and break my agreement with them, because I am the Lord their God.

45 Kai loh amih taengah BOEIPA Pathen la om ham te tah namtom rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Egypt kho lamkah ka khuen patuel rhoek kah paipi te amih ham ka thoelh pueng ni.

Because of them I will renew the agreement I made with their fathers, those I led out of Egypt as the other nations watched, in order that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”

46 Hekah oltlueh neh laitloeknah neh olkhueng rhoek he Moses kut neh Sinai tlang ah BOEIPA loh amah laklo neh Israel ca rhoek laklo ah a khueh.

These are the rules, regulations, and laws that the Lord set up between himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
