Kâboutpoenae 26
1 Nange BAWIPA Cathut ni râw lah na poe e ram dawk, na kâen teh, na coe hnukkhu hawvah kho na sak awh toteh,
“And when you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you to possess, and when you will have obtained it and are living within it:
2 nange na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e na ram dawk e na khi e talai a pawhik a phunphun dawk e aluepaw na la vaiteh, tangthung dawk na raseng vaiteh, na BAWIPA Cathut e min ao nahanelah rawi e hmuen koe na ceikhai han.
you shall take the first of all your crops, and place them in a basket, and you shall travel to the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be invoked there.
3 Hatnae tueng dawkvah, vaihmanaw koe na cei vaiteh, ahnimouh koe na dei pouh han e teh, maimouh na poe hanelah mintoenaw koe Cathut ni a kam e ram dawk pha awh toe, telah nange BAWIPA Cathut koe sahnin ka pathang telah na dei awh han.
And you shall approach the priest who will be in those days, and you shall say to him: ‘I profess this day, before the Lord your God, that I have entered into the land about which he swore to our fathers that he would give it to us.’
4 Vaihma ni tangthung a la vaiteh, BAWIPA e hmalah a pâhung han.
And the priest, taking up the basket from your hand, shall place it before the altar of the Lord your God.
5 Nang ni na BAWIPA e hmalah na dei hane teh, ka kâva e Aram miphun teh kaie na pa doeh. Ahni teh Izip ram lah a ceicathuk teh, tami youn touh hoi imyin patetlah ao. Hatei, hote hmuen koevah, puenghoi a kampung awh teh, a thao awh.
And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘The Syrian pursued my father, who descended into Egypt, and he sojourned there in a very small number, and he increased into a great and strong nation and into an innumerable multitude.
6 Izipnaw ni kaimanaw hah na rektap awh teh, kaimouh van vah, thaw karunaw hah a toung awh.
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and they persecuted us, imposing upon us the most grievous burdens.
7 Hat toteh, kaimouh ni BAWIPA koe ka hram awh teh, BAWIPA ni kaimae lawk hah a thai teh, kaimae runae, thatawnnae, hoi rektapnae hah na hmu pouh.
And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers. He heard us, and he looked with favor upon our humiliation, and hardship, and distress.
8 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni a dâw e thaonae kut hoi, takikatho poung e hoi, mitnout hoi, kângairu hnonaw hoi kaimanaw hah Izip ram thung hoi na tâcokhai awh.
And he led us away from Egypt, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with a mighty terror, with signs and wonders.
9 Hete khoitui hoi maito sanutui a lawngnae hmuen hah kaimouh na poe awh.
And he led us into this place, and he delivered to us the land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Atu khenhaw! Oe BAWIPA, nang ni na poe e ram thung e aluepaw hah na thokhai toe telah na dei awh han. Hathnukkhu, nang ni hote aluepaw hah na BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah na pâhung vaiteh, na BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah na bawk han.
And because of this, I now offer the first fruits of the land which the Lord has given to me.’ And you shall leave them in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall adore the Lord your God.
11 Na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e kahawi e hno pueng dawkvah, nama hoi na imthungkhu hoi, Levihnaw hoi, nangmouh koe kaawm e imyinnaw hoi cungtalah na lunghawikhai awh han.
And you shall feast on all the good things which the Lord your God will give to you and to your house: you, and the Levite, and the new arrival who is with you.
12 Nang ni, na hmu e thung dawk, hra touh dawk buet touh poenae kum a kum thum kum dawkvah, pung hra pung touh na hruek toteh, Levihnaw, imyinnaw, naranaw, hoi lahmainunaw hah na poe han. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, ahnimouh hai a von a paha van han.
When you will have completed the tithing of all your crops, in the third year of tithes, you shall give it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be satisfied.
13 Hathnukkhu, nang ni na BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah na dei hane teh, kai ni ka talue sak e poe hane hno im hoi ka takhoe teh, nang ni na dei kâpoelawknaw patetlah imyinnaw, Levih naranaw, hoi lahmainunaw hah ka poe toe. Kai teh nange kâpoelawknaw ka tapoe hoeh. Ka pahnim hoeh.
And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘I have taken what was sanctified from my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan and the widow, just as you have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commandments, nor have I forgotten your precepts.
14 Kai teh kadoutnaw hanelah ka lungmathoe toteh, hote hnonaw hah ka cat hoeh. Ka khin nah hote hno hah kai ni ka takhoe hoeh. Kadoutnaw hanelah hote hno hah ka poe hoeh. Ka BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah ka tarawi toe. Kai hanelah na dei pouh e patetlah ka tawksak toe.
I have not eaten from these things in my grief, nor have I separated them due to any kind of uncleanness, nor have I expended any of these things in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and I have done all things just as you have instructed me.
15 Kathounge na onae hmuen kalvan hoi na khet navah, na tami Isarelnaw hoi kaimae mintoenaw koe lawk na kam e ram, khoitui hoi maitosanutui a lawngnae ram yawhawi poe haw telah na dei han.
Look with favor from your sanctuary and from your lofty habitation amid the heavens, and bless your people Israel and the land which you have given to us, just as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’
16 Sahnin hete phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw hah na tarawi nahanelah na BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe toe.
Today the Lord your God has instructed you to carry out these commandments and judgments, and to keep and fulfill them, with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 Sahnin vah a lamthung dawn laihoi phunglawk, kâpoelawk, lawkcengnae hoi a lawk ngâi hanelah BAWIPA teh na Cathut lah ao nahan na pathang toe.
Today, you have chosen the Lord to be your God, so that you may walk in his ways, and keep his ceremonies and commandments and judgments, and obey his command.
18 BAWIPA ni nang teh amae miphun lah na o titeh a pathang toe. Hatdawkvah, nang ni amae kâpoelawk pueng hah na tarawi hanelah ao toe.
Today, the Lord has chosen you, so that you may be his particular people, just as he has spoken to you, and so that you may keep all his precepts,
19 Hathloilah, a sak e miphun pueng e lathueng vah oupnae, kamthangnae, barinae lah na o sak han. Ama ni lawk a kam tangcoung e patetlah nang teh BAWIPA Cathut hanelah kathounge miphun lah na o han.
and so that he may cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which he has created, for the sake of his own praise and name and glory, in order that you may be a holy people for the Lord your God, just as he has spoken.”
