Olrhaepnah 26

1 BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah rho la m'paek khohmuen te na kun thil tih na pang phoeikah kho na sak vaengah he tlam he om saeh.

Now when you have come into the land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage, and you have made it yours and are living in it;

2 BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek na khohmuen lamkah diklai thaihtae boeih khuiah thaihcuek te lo lamtah khuen. Te vaengah vaihang dongah khueh lamtah a ming phuk thil ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh a coelh hmuen la cet.

You are to take a part of the first-fruits of the earth, which you get from the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket, and go to the place marked out by the Lord your God, as the resting-place of his name.

3 Te phoeiah amah khohnin vaengkah khosoih la aka om te paan lamtah, “Mamih taengah paek hamla BOEIPA loh a pa rhoek taengah a toemngam sut khohmuen te ka kun thil coeng dongah tihnin ah BOEIPA na Pathen taengla ka puen coeng,” ti nah.

And you are to come to him who is priest at that time, and say to him, I give witness today before the Lord your God, that I have come into the land which the Lord made an oath to our fathers to give us.

4 Te vaengah na kut dongkah vaihang te khosoih loh doe saeh lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen kah hmueihtuk hmai ah tloeng saeh.

Then the priest will take the basket from your hand and put it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God.

5 Te phoeiah doo lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah, “A pa Arammi te milh tih Egypt la a suntlak vaengah hlang sii la bakuep sut. Tedae pilnu boeiping neh namtu len la pahoi om coeng.

And these are the words which you will say before the Lord your God: My father was a wandering Aramaean, and he went down with a small number of people into Egypt; there he became a great and strong nation:

6 Tedae Egypt he kaimih soah thae uh. Kaimih he m'phaep uh tih kaimih soah thohtatnah neh mangkhak la n'nan uh.

And the Egyptians were cruel to us, crushing us under a hard yoke:

7 Te dongah a pa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen taengla ka pang uh. Kaimih ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak tih kaimih pum dongkah phacipphabaem, thakthaenah neh hnaemtaeknah te a hmuh.

And our cry went up to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord's ear was open to the voice of our cry, and his eyes took note of our grief and the crushing weight of our work:

8 Te dongah BOEIPA loh tlungluen kut neh kaimih he Egypt lamkah ng'khuen. A ban te khaw rhimomnah neh mat a phuel tih miknoek neh kopoekrhai te a saii.

And the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with works of power and signs and wonders:

9 Te phoeiah hekah hmuen la ng'khuen tih suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen he mamih m'paek.

And he has been our guide to this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Tahae atah BOEIPA namah loh kai nan paek khohmuen thaihtae thaihcuek kang khuen coeng he,” ti nah lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen mikhmuh ah tloeng pah. Te phoeiah BOEIPA na Pathen kah a mikhmuh ah bakop pah.

So now, I have come here with the first of the fruits of the earth which you, O Lord, have given me. Then you will put it down before the Lord your God and give him worship:

11 BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek a then cungkuem dongah namah imkhui neh namah khaw, namah khui kah Levi neh yinlai long khaw na kohoe sakuh.

And you will have joy in every good thing which the Lord your God has given to you and to your family; and the Levite, and the man from a strange land who is with you, will take part in your joy.

12 A kum thum khuikah na cangvuei cangthaih parha pakhat boeih na paek te na khah coeng phoeiah kum khat kah parha pakhat te tah Levi, yinlai, cadah neh nuhmai taengah pae lamtah na vongka khuiah kodam la ca uh saeh.

When you have taken out a tenth from the tenth of all your produce in the third year, which is the year when this has to be done, give it to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and the child without a father, and the widow, so that they may have food in your towns and be full;

13 Te vaengah BOEIPA na Pathen mikhmuh ah, “Na olpaek aka om boeih vanbangla Im lamkah buhcim te ka rhoe tih Levi neh yinlai khaw, cadah neh nuhmai taengah ka paek coeng. Na olpaek kai nan uen te ka poe pawt tih ka hnilh moenih.

And say before the Lord your God, I have taken all the holy things out of my house and have given them to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and him who has no father, and the widow, as you have given me orders: I have kept in mind all your orders, in nothing have I gone against them:

14 Te lamkah te boethae la ka ca pawt tih te lamloh rhalawt la n'dom moenih. Te dongah te lamkah te a duek la ka paek moenih. Ka Pathen BOEIPA ol te ka ngai dongah kai nan uen te a cungkuem la ka saii.

No part of these things has been used for food in a time of weeping, or put away when I was unclean, or given for the dead: I have given ear to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done all you have given me orders to do.

15 Vaan na hmuencim khuirhung lamloh dan lamtah na pilnam Israel neh a pa rhoek taengkah na toemngam bangla kaimih taengah nan paek khohmuen suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen he yoethen pae lah,” ti nah.

So, looking down from your holy place in heaven, send your blessing on your people Israel and on the land which you have given us, as you said in your oath to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

16 He rhoek kah oltlueh neh laitloeknah he tahae khohnin ah na vai ham ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang ng'uen. Te dongah ngaithuen lamtah na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih nen khaw vai.

Today the Lord your God gives you orders to keep all these laws and decisions: so then keep and do them with all your heart and all your soul.

17 Tihnin ah BOEIPA loh nang taengah Pathen la a om ham neh a longpuei ah pongpa ham khaw, a oltlueh, a olpaek neh a laitloeknah ngaithuen ham neh a ol hnatun ham khaw na thui ni.

Today you have given witness that the Lord is your God, and that you will go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions and give ear to his voice:

18 Nang taengkah a thui vanbangla tihnin ah amah kah pilnam lungthen la om sak ham neh a olpaek rhoek te boeih ngaithuen sak ham,

And the Lord has made it clear this day that you are a special people to him, as he gave you his word; and that you are to keep all his orders;

19 Koehnah, ming then neh boeimang dongah khaw a saii namtom rhoek boeih soah a sang la khueh ham khaw, a thui bangla BOEIPA na Pathen kah pilnam cim la om sak ham BOEIPA loh nang n'ti nah coeng.

And that he will make you high over all the nations he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you are to be a holy people to the Lord your God as he has said.
