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 summoned all of Israel, and he said to them: “Listen, O Israel, to the ceremonies and judgments, which I am speaking to your ears on this day. Learn them, and fulfill them in deed.
2 Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh Horeb ah mamih taengah paipi a sai coeng.
The Lord our God formed a covenant with us at 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.
He did not make the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are alive and in the present time.
4 Tlang ah maelhmai neh maelhmai rhoi hum uh tih nangmih te BOEIPA loh hmai khui lamkah m'voek coeng.
He spoke to us face to face on the mountain, from the midst of 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 the mediator, for I was in the middle between the Lord and you, at that time, to announce his words to you. For you were afraid of the fire, and so you did not ascend to the mountain. And he said:
6 'Kai tah Egypt kho kah sal im lamkah nang aka khuen na BOEIPA Pathen ni.
‘I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.
7 Ka mikhmuh ah a tloe pathen loh nang taengah om boel saeh.
You shall not have strange gods in my sight.
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 shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor the likeness of anything, which is in heaven above, or on earth below, or which abides 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 shall not adore and you shall not worship these things. For I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, repaying the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation to those who hate me,
10 Tedae kai aka lungnah tih ka olpaek te olpaek bangla aka ngaithuen rhoek taengah a thawng thawng la sitlohnah ka saii pah.
and acting with mercy in thousands of ways to those who love me and keep my precepts.
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 shall not use the name of the Lord your God in vain. For he will not go unpunished who takes up his name over an unimportant matter.
12 Sabbath hnin ngaithuen ham neh ciim ham te na BOEIPA Pathen loh nang n'uen vanbangla,
Observe the day of the Sabbath, so that you may sanctify it, just as the Lord your God has instructed you.
13 Hnin rhuk ah thotat lamtah na bitat te boeih saii.
For six days, you shall labor and 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.
The seventh is the day of the Sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it, nor shall your son, nor daughter, nor man servant, nor woman servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor the sojourner who is within your gates, so that your men and woman servants may rest, just as you do.
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.
Remember that you also were servants in Egypt, and the Lord your God led you away from that place with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. Because of this, he has instructed you so that you would observe 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.
Honor your father and mother, just as the Lord your God has instructed you, so that you may live a long time, and so that it may be well with you in the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
17 Hlang ngawn boeh.
You shall not murder.
18 Samphaih boeh.
And you shall not commit adultery.
19 Huencan boeh.
And you shall not commit theft.
20 Na hui te laipai neh a poeyoek la doo boeh.
Neither shall you speak false testimony against your neighbor.
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.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his house, nor his field, nor his man servant, nor his woman servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything out of all that is his.’
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.
The Lord spoke these words to the entire multitude of you on the mountain, from the midst of the fire and the cloud and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, which he delivered 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.
Then, after you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and you saw the mountain burning, you approached me, all you leaders of the tribes and those greater by birth. And you said:
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.
‘Behold, the Lord our God has revealed to us his majesty and his greatness. We have heard his voice from the midst of fire, and we have proven today that, though God is speaking with man, man has lived.
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.
Therefore, why should we die, and why should this very great fire devour us? For if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, we will die.
26 Pumsa boeih khuiah hmai khui lamkah aka cal tih aka hing Pathen ol aka ya te unim mamih bangla aka hing.
What is all flesh, that it would hear the voice of the living God, who speaks from the midst of fire, just as we have heard it, and be able to live?
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.
Instead, you should approach and listen to all the things that the Lord our God will say to you. And you will speak to us, and we will listen and do these things.’
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.
But when the Lord had heard this, he said to me: ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they spoke to you. All this, they have spoken well.
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.
Who will grant to them to have such a mind, so that they may fear me, and may keep all my commandments at all times, so that it may be well with them and with their sons forever?
30 Cet laeh, na dap la bal lamtah amih te thui pah.
Go and say to them: Return 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, stand here with me, and I will speak to you all my commandments and ceremonies, as well as judgments. These, you shall teach them, so that they may do them in the land, which I will give to them as a possession.
32 Te dongah na BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih n'uen bangla na saii ham te ngaithuen lamtah banvoei bantang la phael uh boeh.
And so, keep and do the things which the Lord God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside, neither to the right, nor 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.
For you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God has instructed, so that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be extended in the land of your possession.’”
