Now, therefore, O Israel, hearken thou unto the statutes, and unto the regulations, which, I, am teaching you, to do [them], —to the end ye may live and enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh, the God of your fathers, is giving unto you.

2 Kathupeh a kon in ngaisah louna ima neihih hel uvin. Pakai, Pathen akona ka thupeh chengse hi phatah a najui diu ahi.

Ye shall not add unto the word which, I, am commanding you, neither shall ye take away therefrom, —that ye may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, which, I, am commanding you.

3 Baapeor muna Pakaiyin nangho dinga ichangeiya na atoh namusoh keiyun ahi. Hiche muna chun Pakai, Pathen in Baal doi hou jouse abonchan asugam sohkeiye.

Yours are the eyes, that have seen what Yahweh did in Baal-peor, for every man who went after Baal-peor, did Yahweh thy God destroy out of thy midst;

4 Hinlah Pakai, Pathen tahsan a thua nung jouse, tuni chan in nabon chauvin nadam nalaiyun ahi.

but, ye who kept on cleaving unto Yahweh your God, alive, are ye all to-day.

5 Vetan, Pakai, Pathen akona juiding dan hichengse hi nangho dinga thupeh ahi. Ajeh chu hichengse hi gamsung nalut teng uleh phatah a najui kimsoh kei diu ahi.

See! I have taught you statutes, and regulations, as Yahweh my God commanded me, —that ye should do so, in the midst of the land whereinto ye are entering to possess it.

6 Hichengse hi najui uva ahileh, na kimvel uva cheng nam dangte sanga athem leh achinga naum diu ahi. Hitobang nunle khan ahin jahdoh teng uleh, hiche nam mite hi datmah umtah in aching lheh uve tia asei diu ahi!

Therefore shall ye observe, and do [them], for that, will be your wisdom, and discernment, in the eyes of the peoples, —who will hear all these statutes, and will say—Nevertheless, a people wise and discerning, is this great nation.

7 Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen ikom cha uva aum jing banga, eiho Pathen tobang nam dang ten anei khah ngai em?

For what great nation is there which hath gods nigh unto it, —like Yahweh our God, whensoever we have cried out unto him.

8 Hitobanga chu keiman jong na masang uva ka koipeh danthu hijatpi hi, kicheh tah’a ka koipeh banguva koi dang nam in hitobang anei khah ngai em?

Or what great nation which hath righteous statutes and regulations, like all this law, which, I, am setting before you to-day?

9 Ijeh inem itileh vetan! Nanghon namit tah uva namu chan uchu nahaimil lou diu ahi. Hiche hi na damsung uva nalung thim uva kona na jamdoh sah lou diu ahi! Natu na chate changeiya achin jing diu ahi.

Only take thou heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently, so that thou forget not the things which thine own eyes have seen, and so that they go not out of thy heart, all the days of thy life, —but thou shalt make them known unto thy sons and unto thy sons’ sons: —

10 Chule Pakai, Pathen in Sinai mol chunga adin nikhoa ka henga thu asei chu na haimil lou diu ahi. Mipi ho abonchan ka henga hinpuiyin, keiman ijakai kahil diu ahi. Chutileh amahon keima gin ding dan ahet uva, atu acha khang gei uva jong keima eigin jing diu ahi.

What day thou didst stand before Yahweh thy God, in Horeb, when Yahweh said unto me, Gather unto me the people, that I may let them hear my words, —which they must learn that they may revere me all the days which they are living upon the soil, their children also, must they teach.

11 Nangma mol chunga na keng in nahung ding in, Molchung vum jouse meibol in atom in chuin mu athim lhatan ahi.

So ye drew near and stood, under the mountain. Now, the mountain, was burning with fire, up to the midst of the heavens, —darkness, cloud, and thick gloom.

12 Chuin Pakaiyin nangma henga thu aseiyin, meikong in akilah in, Ama awgin chu najan ahinlah tahmel in namupoi; ajeh chu awgin bou najah ahi.

Then spake Yahweh unto you out of the midst of the fire, —a voice of words, ye were hearing, no form, were ye seeing, there was only a voice.

13 Pakaiyin kitepna asem in, Thupeh som nanit jing diuvin thupeh aneiyin, songpheng ni chunga ajihdoh in ahi.

Then declared he unto you his covenant which he commanded you to do, the ten words, —and wrote them upon two tables of stone.

14 Hiche muna chun Pakaiyin thupeh aneiyin, nangho gamsung nalut kon teng uleh danthu najui diuvin abonchan eihil in ahi.

And unto me, gave Yahweh command, at that time, to teach you statutes and regulations, —that ye should do them, in the land whereinto ye are passing over to possess it.

15 Hijeh chun nangho ching theiyun! Sinai mol chunga Pakaiyin najah uva thu asei nikho chun, nanghon tahmel in namu pouve.

Ye must take diligent heed, therefore unto your own souls, for ye saw no manner of form, on the day Yahweh spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;

16 Hijeh chun nanghon milim doi numei leh pasal lima semthu a-angsunga na bokhup uva na kisuhboh louhel diu,

lest ye should break faith, and make you an image, a form of any likeness, —a model of male or female;

17 gancha hihen chung leng vacha hijongleh,

a model of any beast that is in the earth, —a model of any winged bird, that flieth in the heavens;

18 tol-lhang lah a ganhing hihen, twipi noiya um ganhing limsem thu kitiphot angsunga na bohkhup lou diu ahi.

a model of any thing that creepeth on the ground, —a model of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth;

19 Chunglang vea lha, ahsite chule vanthamjola thil ho jong bohkhup a akin bol ding na ngaito louhel diu ahi. Hichengse khu aboncha Pakai, Pathen in leiset a cheng mihemte apeh ahi.

or lest thou shouldest lift up thine eyes towards the heavens and see the sun and the moon, and the stars—all the host of the heavens, and shouldest be seduced, and shouldest bow thyself down to them and he led to serve them, —the which Yahweh thy God hath assigned unto all the peoples under all the heavens;

20 Ajeh chu nangho hi Pakai, Pathen in Egypt gamsung meilhum lah’a kiloidoh a Pathen dei tum mong mong dinga tunia hi nasemu ahin, hichu nasuhmil lou diu ahi.

whereas you, hath Yahweh taken, and brought you forth out of a smelting-pot of iron, out of Egypt, —that ye might become his own inherited people as at this day.

21 Hinlah nangho jeh in Pakai ka henga alungphamo tan. Pakaiyin kitepna asem in keima Jordan vadung galkaiya, keima hiche gamsunga khu kalut thei lou ding ahitai.

But, Yahweh shewed himself angry with me, for your sakes, —and sware that I should not pass over the Jordan, and that I should not enter into the good land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee as an inheritance;

22 Keima khela hiche gamsung lodinga Jordan vadung nagal kai diu ahi. Keima vang hiche solam vadung pama hi thiden ding kahi tai.

for, I, am about to die in this land, I am not to pass over the Jordan, —but, ye, are to pass over, and possess this good land.

23 Hijeh chun chingthei un Pakai, Pathen in kitepna napeh hou aboncha najui kimsoh kei diu ahi. Pathen doumah milim doi sem ding gohih un, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen dinga doumah umtah ahi.

Take heed to yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he hath solemnised with you, —and so make for yourselves an image, the form of anything, the which Yahweh thy God hath forbidden thee;

24 Pakai, Pathen hi meikong a kilahji ahin; thangtomna aneiji ahi.

seeing that as for Yahweh thy God, a consuming fire, he is, —a jealous GOD.

25 Ahung lhung ding phat hoa, tu le cha nahin neiyuva gam sunga na hung chen teng uleh, milim doi kiti sema a-angsunga na bohkhup louhel diu ahi. Hitobang thil hi Pakai dinga thet umtah leh Pakai lunghan na ahi.

When thou shalt beget sons, and sons’ sons, and become careless in the land and break faith and make an image the form of any thing, and shalt do the thing that is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh thy God provoking him to anger,

26 Tuna van leh leiset kasan hi nangho hettohsahna ding ahi. Ka kitepna na suhkeh uva ahileh, Jordan vadung galkaiya gamsunga na hetman lou uva na manthah jeng diu ahi. Hinkho chomcha bou nanei diu; hetman louva thinan na lhunden diu ahi.

I take both the heavens and the earth to witness against you to-day, that ye shall, perish, speedily, from off the land which ye are passing over the Jordan to possess, —ye shall not prolong your days thereupon; for, ye shall surely be laid waste;

27 Ajeh chu nam dangte lah a Pakaiyin nathe cheh diu, lhom cha bouvin gamsung nalo diu ahi.

and Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, —and ye shall have left remaining of you men easily counted, among the nations whither Yahweh will drive you;

28 Hiche muna chu, gamdang mite lah a milim doi song le thinga kisem thu, ima jathei lou, muthei lou ho kin nabol diu ahi.

and ye will serve there gods made by the hands of man, —wood or stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

29 Chuteng Pakai, Pathen nahin hol kit diu, nalung thim pumpiuva nahin hol teng uleh namu bep diu ahi.

If thou shalt seek from thence, Yahweh thy God, then shalt thou find him, —when thou shalt search after him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

30 Ahung lhung ding phat hoa, hitobang din muna naum uva gim genthei nan nalhun den teng uleh, Pakai, Pathen angsung nahin bel diu, Pakai thusei jouse nangai diu ahi.

In thy distress, when all these things have found thee out—in the afterpart of the days, thou wilt return unto Yahweh thy God, and wilt hearken to his voice.

31 Ajeh chu na Pakaiyu, Pathen uhi ngailutna a dim jeng ahin; na lung na heija Pakai lam nahin bel teng aman na damsah ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, napu napateu khang apat akitepna ageldoh jing in ahi.

For, a GOD of compassion, is Yahweh thy God, he will not forsake thee neither will he destroy thee, —nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

32 Tun leiset ahung kisem apat tuchana Pathen in ichangeiya mihemte akhohsah ham, ti thusimle vanthamjola ijakai jouse kholdoh uvin. Hitobang thil ki dang hohi najah a namu khah uvem?

For ask, I pray you, of the former days which were before thee, even from the day when God created man upon the earth, yea from one end of the heavens even to the other end of the heavens, —whether aught was ever brought to pass, like this great thing, or was ever heard of like it:

33 Nanghon meikonga Pathen akilah a, awgin najah bang uva nam dang ten hitobang thil kidang atokhah tah uvem?

Did a people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of fire, as, thou, didst hear, and yet live?

34 Pathen dang in nampi khat gim hesoh na a kon apui doh a, thil kidang ijakai aki lahsah gal asat peh, ban thahat pana kithopina, ki dang tah a na-atohna um kha tam? Ahinlah nangho Pakai, Pathen in Egypt gam naum lai uva anatoh ijakai na musoh kei tauvin ahi.

Or did a god ever make trial of entering in to take unto him a nation out of the midst of a nation, by provings, by signs and by wonders and by fighting, and by a firm hand and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, —according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?

35 Pakaiyin ijakai na muchen sah tauve, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen tobang dang umlou ahi.

Thou, wast allowed to see that thou mightest know, that Yahweh, he is God, there is none other than he alone.

36 Pakaiyin vana kon in awgin na jahsah uvin, thupeh ijakai aneiyin ahi. Pakai meikonga akilah in nang ho nahou piu vin ahi.

Out of the heavens, he let thee hear his voice to instruct thee, —and, upon the earth, he let thee see his great fire, and his own words, thou didst hear out of the midst of the fire.

37 Ajeh chu Pakaiyin napu napateu angailun chule a chilhahte changei phatthei aboh ahi. Pakaiyin abanthahat apan in, Egypt gam'a kona nahin pui galkaiyu ahitai.

And because that he loved thy fathers, therefore chose he his seed after him, —and brought thee forth with his presence with his great might, out of Egypt;

38 Nangho ding in namdangte gamlha tah in achon doh in, Pakaiyin nangho chenna ding gamnom tah na peuvin, tunin na cheng tauvin ahi.

to dispossess nations, greater and stronger than thou from before thee, —to bring thee in. to give unto thee their land for an inheritance: As at this day.

39 Hijeh achu hiche hi na geldoh jing diu leh na lungthim uva na chin jing diu ahi: Pakai, Pathen hi vana jong leiset a jong Pathen ahin, Pathen dang ama tobang aumpoi.

So then thou must consider to-day, and bring it back to thy heart, that, Yahweh, he is God in the heavens above and upon the earth beneath, —there is none other.

40 Tunia ka thupeh chengse aboncha na juikim soh keiyuva ahileh, ijakai phacham kimsoh kei ding nachateu changeiya phatthei chang diu ahi. Imatih chana gam sunga kipah leh lungmonga nachen diu, na hinkhou asotna dinga Keiman thupeh hichengse aboncha kapeh nahiuve.

So shalt thou keep his statutes and his commandments which, I, am commanding thee to-day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, —and to the end thou mayest prolong thy days upon the soil, which Yahweh thy God, is giving thee, all the days.

41 Chuin Mose’n khopi thum solam Jordan vadunga kichol nading in atung doh in ahi.

Then, did Moses set apart three cities, over the Jordan, —towards the rising of the sun:

42 Koi tobang'in mihem khat alam louva atha a, suhna ding beiya auma ahileh, ama chu hiche muna hi jamlut ding ahinkho aki huhdoh ding ahi.

that the manslayer might flee thither who should slay his neighbour unawares, he, not having hated him, aforetime, —and might flee unto one of these cities, and live:

43 Khopi thum hochu: Bezer kiti gamthip lah a hichu Reuben in sunga ding; Ramoth kiti Gilead muna hichu Gad in sunga ding; Golan kiti Bashan muna hichu Manasseh insunga ding ahi.

namely Bezer, in the desert of the table-land, for the Reubenites, —and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

44 Thupeh hichengse hi Mose’n Israel mite henga aseipeh ahi.

This, then is the law which Moses set before the sons of Israel:

45 Hichengse hi danthu jui ding’a Mose’n Israel miten Egypt gam adalhah uva apeh,

These, are the testimonies, and the statutes and the regulations, —which Moses spake unto the sons of Israel when they came forth out of Egypt:

46 Beth-peor toh kinai solam Jordan vadung phaicham ngahmun aum laiyuva apeh ahi. Phat masa chun hiche gam hi Amor mite lengpa Sihon in Hesbon muna kona ana vaipoh ahi. Hinlah Egypt gam'a kona Mose leh Israel mite ahung doh uchun ana sugam hel tauvin ahi.

over the Jordan in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, —whom Moses and the sons of Israel smote, when they came forth out of Egypt:

47 Chuin Israel miten Bashan lengpa Og lalna gam leh anei agou jouse achom chai keiyuvin, solama Amor mite leng teni jaona ahi.

so they took possession of his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan the two kings of the Amorites, who were over the Jordan, —towards the rising of the sun;

48 Israel miten Aroer apat Arnon Gorge chule Sirion mol Hermon tiajong kihe changeiyin ajousoh hel tauve.

from Aroer which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon, even unto Mount Sion, the same, is Hermon;

49 Chuin amahon solam gamkai Jordan vadung pang leh, lhanglam San dung changeiyin ajousoh uvin, Pisgah noilam changei ahi.

and all the waste plain over the Jordan, towards sunrise, even unto the sea of the waste plain, —under the slopes of the Pisgah.
