Olrhaepnah 8
1 Tihnin ah kai loh nang kang uen olpaek boeih he vai hamla ngaithuen uh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh na pa rhoek taengah a caeng khohmuen ah na hing vaengah na ping uh vetih na kun uh vaengah khaw na pang uh eh.
Ye shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you to-day, that ye may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God sware [to give] to your fathers.
2 A olpaek te a olpaek bangla na thinko ah ngaithuen neh ngaithuen pawt khaw ming ham a ngaih tih nang phaep ham neh noemcai ham kum likip khuiah BOEIPA na Pathen loh Khosoek longpuei ah nang n'caeh puei boeih te poek lah.
And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee in the wilderness, that he might afflict thee, and try thee, and that the things in thine heart might be made manifest, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or no.
3 Nang m'phaep vaengah n'lamlum sak ngawn dae namah loh na ming mueh neh na pa rhoek loh aming uh mueh manna te nang n'cah. Te dongah hlang he buh bueng neh hing pawt tih BOEIPA ka lamkah aka thoeng sarhui dongah ni hlang a hing tila nang m'ming sak.
And he afflicted thee and straitened thee with hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thy fathers knew not; that he might teach thee that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.
4 Nang dong lamkah na himbai khaw hmawn pawt tih kum likip khuiah na kho khaw phat pawh.
Thy garments grew not old from off thee, thy shoes were not worn from off thee, thy feet were not [painfully] hardened, lo! these forty years.
5 Te dongah hlang loh a ca a toel bangla BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang n'toel te na thinko neh ming lah.
And thou shalt know in thine heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord thy God will chasten thee.
6 Te dongah longpuei ah pongpa ham neh amah rhih ham tah BOEIPA na Pathen kah olpaek te ngaithuen lah.
And thou shalt keep the commands of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Kolbawn tlang ah soklong kah tuiphuet tui neh tuidung loh a long thil khohmuen, aka then khohmuen,
For the Lord thy God will bring thee into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains:
8 cang, cangtun, misur, thaibu neh tale kho, olive situi neh khoitui kho la BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang n'khuen coeng.
a land of wheat and barley, [wherein are] vines, figs, pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
9 Tekah khohmuen ah tah buh dongah khaw sihtaehnah neh na ca pawt vetih, a khuiah pakhat khaw m'vaitah mahpawh. Khohmuen kah lungto dongah thicung neh tlang dongah rhohum khaw na dae thai.
a land on which thou shalt not eat thy bread with poverty, and thou shalt not want any thing upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains thou shalt dig brass.
10 Tedae na caak tih na hah vaengah nang taengah khohmuen then neh aka phaeng BOEIPA na Pathen uem uh.
And thou shalt eat and be filled, and shalt bless the Lord thy God on the good land, which he has given thee.
11 Namah te ngaithuen, BOEIPA na Pathen te na hnilh ve. Tihnin ah kai loh nang kan uen olpaek, laitloeknah neh a khosing he na ngaithuen pawt ve ne.
Take heed to thyself that thou forget not the Lord thy God, so as not to keep his commands, and his judgments, and ordinances, which I command thee this day:
12 Na caak tih na hah vaengah, im then na sak tih na om vaengah,
lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt in them;
13 na saelhung neh na boiva loh ping tih, cak neh sui loh nang ham pung tih a cungkuem loh nang ham a pungtai vaengah,
and thy oxen and thy sheep are multiplied to thee, and thy silver and thy gold are multiplied to thee, and all thy possessions are multiplied to thee,
14 na thinko loh pomsang uh vetih sal imkhui Egypt kho lamkah nang aka khuen BOEIPA na Pathen te na hnilh ve ne.
thou shouldest be exalted in heart, and forget the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
15 Khosoek duppuei neh rhih om minyuk rhul neh saelkhui ta-ai khuiah nang m'mawt tih tui aka om mueh tuihang ah pataeng hmailung lungpang khui lamkah tui te nang hamla hang khuen.
who brought thee through that great and terrible wilderness, where [is] the biting serpent, and scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee a fountain of water out of the flinty rock:
16 Khosoek ah na pa rhoek loh a ming uh mueh manna te nang n'cah tih na hmailong ah khophoengpha sak ham nang m'phaep tih n'noemcai.
who fed thee with manna in the wilderness, which thou knewest not, and thy fathers knew not; that he might afflict thee, and thoroughly try thee, and do thee good in thy latter days.
17 Te dongah na thinko khuiah, 'Khuehtawn he kamah thadueng, kamah ban thaa loh kamah ham a saii,’ na ti ve.
Lest thou shouldest say in thine heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth.
18 Tedae tihnin kah bangla na pa rhoek taengah a caeng paipi te cak sak tih khuehtawn dang sak ham nang taengah thadueng aka pae BOEIPA na Pathen amah te poek.
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, that he gives thee strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to thy fathers, as at this day.
19 BOEIPA na Pathen te na hnilh la na hnilh tih pathen tloe hnukah na caeh atah, amih taengah tho na thueng atah, amih te na bakop thil khohnin van vaengah na milh rhoe na milh ham ni nang taengah ka laipai.
And it shall come to pass if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and shouldest go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall surely perish.
20 Na mikhmuh ah BOEIPA loh namtom rhoek a milh sak bangla BOEIPA na Pathen ol te na ya pawt vetih na milh uh van ve.
As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall ye perish, because ye hearkened not to the voice of the Lord your God.
