Olrhaepnah 6

1 Tahae kah olpaek, oltlueh neh laitloeknah he pang ham na muk uh khohmuen ah nangmih cang puei ham neh saii sak ham ni na BOEIPA Pathen loh n'uen.

This, then is the commandment—[namely] the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh your God hath commanded to teach you, —that ye may do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:

2 Te dongah na BOEIPA Pathen te na rhih tih a khosing neh a olpaek boeih te namah neh na ca long khaw, na ca kah a ca long khaw, na hing tue khuiah ngaithuen sak ham ni kai loh nang kang uen. Te daengah ni na hinglung a vang eh.

that thou mayest revere Yahweh thy God, [so as] to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I am commanding thee, thou and thy son and thy sons’ son, all the days of thy life, —and that thy days may be prolonged.

3 Aw Israel na yaak van coeng dongah na ngai ham te ngaithuen lah. Te long ni nang te khophoeng m'pha sak vetih na pa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen loh nang taengah a thui vanbangla suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen ah muep na ping eh.

Therefore shalt thou hear, O Israel, and shalt observe to do, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may multiply greatly, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

4 Israel aw hnatun lah BOEIPA pakhat bueng ni mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen la aka om.

Hear, O Israel: Yahweh, is our God, —Yahweh alone.

5 Na BOEIPA Pathen te na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih, na cungkuem boeih neh lungnah lah.

Thou shalt therefore love Yahweh thy God, —with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might;

6 Tihnin ah kai loh nang kang uen olka he nang kah thinko ah rhaehrhong lah saeh.

so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart;

7 Na ca rhoek pum dongah pak pah lamtah na im ah na ngol vaengah khaw, long na caeh vaengah khaw, na yalh vaengah khaw, na thoh vaengah khaw thui pah.

and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, —when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;

8 Na kut ah miknoek la cin pah lamtah na mikhmuh ah samtoelrhui bangla om saeh.

and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, —and they shall serve for bands between thine eyes;

9 Na im rhungsut neh na vongka dongah khaw daek pah.

and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and within thy gates.

10 Tedae nang taengah paek ham na pa rhoek Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob taengah a caeng tangtae na thoong mueh khopuei dangka neh aka then,

So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers—to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, —into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build;

11 Na sang pawt dae thennah cungkuem neh aka khawk im la, na vuet pawt dae a vueh tangtae tuito la, misur neh olive khaw na tue pawt dae na caak tih na hah nah khohmuen ah nang aka thak la na BOEIPA Pathen te om bitni.

and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, —and shalt eat and be full,

12 Namah te ngaithuen, Egypt kho lamkah sal imkhui lamloh nang aka khuen BOEIPA te na hnilh ve.

take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, —who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants.

13 Na BOEIPA Pathen te rhih lah. Amah taengah tho na thueng phoeiah ni a ming nen khaw na toemngam eh.

Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere And him, shalt thou serve, —And by his name, shalt thou swear.

14 Na kaepvai pilnam rhoek kah pathen, hlangtloe pathen hnukah cet boeh.

Ye shall not go after other gods, —of the gods of the peoples who are surrounding you;

15 Na khui kah na Pathen BOEIPA tah thatlai Pathen ni. Na BOEIPA Pathen kah a thintoek he nang taengah ha sai vetih nang te diklai maelhmai dong lamloh m'mit sak ve.

for a jealous GOD, is Yahweh thy God in thy midst, —lest the anger of Yahweh thy God kindle upon thee, and so he destroy thee from off the face of the ground.

16 Massah ah na noemcai uh bangla na BOEIPA Pathen te noemcai uh boeh.

Ye shall not put Yahweh your God to the proof, —as ye put him to the proof in Massah [that is, "The place of proving"].

17 Na BOEIPA Pathen kah olpaek khaw, a olphong neh a oltlueh nang n'uen te khaw ngaithuen rhoela ngaithuen.

Ye shall, keep, the commandments of Yahweh your God and his testimonies and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;

18 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem neh a then la saii. Te daengah ni nang te khophoeng m'pha sak phoeiah na pa rhoek taengah BOEIPA loh a caeng khohmuen then te na paan vetih na pang eh.

so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers;

19 BOEIPA loh a thui vanbangla na thunkha boeih te na mikhmuh lamloh a thaek ni.

to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, —As spake Yahweh.

20 Thangvuen ah na ca loh nang n'dawt tih, 'Mamih BOEIPA Pathen kah olphong, oltlueh neh laitloeknah te balae,’ a ti ni.

When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, —What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh our God commanded you?

21 Na ca taengah, “Egypt ah Pharaoh sal la n'om uh vaengah BOEIPA loh tlungluen kut neh Egypt lamkah mamih n'doek.

Then shalt thou say unto thy son, Servants, were we unto Pharaoh in Egypt, —and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a firm hand;

22 BOEIPA loh mamih mikhmuh ah Egypt soah, Pharaoh neh a imkhui boeih soah miknoek neh kopoekrhai a len koek neh yoethae te a paek.

and Yahweh put forth signs and wonders great and sore upon Egypt upon Pharaoh and upon all his household before our eyes;

23 Tedae mamih tah a pa rhoek taengah a caeng sut khohmuen te mamih taengah paek ham ni te lamloh n'loh tih n'khuen.

but he brought us forth from thence, —that he might bring us in, to give unto us the land, which he sware unto our fathers.

24 Tihnin kah bangla mamih aka hing sak ham mamih ham khohnin takuem a then dongah mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen rhih ham neh he rhoek kah oltlueh boeih he vai sak ham BOEIPA loh mamih n'uen coeng.

So then Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to revere Yahweh our God, —for our good, all the days, to preserve us alive (as at this day);

25 Mamih n'uen vanbangla tahae kah olpaek boeih he mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh ah vai ham n'ngaithuen uh atah mamih ham duengnah la om van ni.

and righteousness, shall it be to us, —when we take heed to do all this commandment, before Yahweh our God, as he commanded us.
