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 it has been, when you come into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and you have possessed it and dwelt in 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.

that you have taken from the first of all the fruits of the ground, which you bring in out of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you, and have put [it] in a basket, and gone to the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell 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 have come to the priest who is in those days, and have said to him, I have declared to your God YHWH today that I have come into the land which YHWH has sworn to our fathers to give to us;

4 Vaihma ni tangthung a la vaiteh, BAWIPA e hmalah a pâhung han.

and the priest has taken the basket out of your hand and placed it before the altar of your God YHWH.

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 have answered and said before your God YHWH, My father [is] a perishing Aramean! And he goes down to Egypt, and sojourns there with few men, and becomes a great, mighty, and populous nation there;

6 Izipnaw ni kaimanaw hah na rektap awh teh, kaimouh van vah, thaw karunaw hah a toung awh.

and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put hard service on us;

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 cry to YHWH, God of our fathers, and YHWH hears our voice, and sees our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression;

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 YHWH brings us out from Egypt by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by wonders,

9 Hete khoitui hoi maito sanutui a lawngnae hmuen hah kaimouh na poe awh.

and He brings us to this place, and gives this land to us—a 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 now, behold, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which you have given to me, O YHWH. (And you have placed it before your God YHWH, and bowed yourself before your God YHWH,

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 rejoiced in all the good which your God YHWH has given to you and to your house—you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in your midst.)

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 complete to tithe all the tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then you have given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within your gates and been 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 have said before your God YHWH, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and have also given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Your command which You have commanded me; I have not passed over from Your commands, nor have I forgotten.

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 of it in my affliction, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have listened to the voice of my God YHWH; I have done according to all that You have commanded 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 from Your holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Your people Israel and the ground which You have given to us, as You have sworn 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.

This day your God YHWH is commanding you to do these statutes and judgments; and you have listened and done 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 proclaimed YHWH to be to you for God, that [you are] to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to listen to His voice.

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.

And today YHWH has proclaimed you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, as He has spoken to you, that [you are] to keep all His commands,

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.

so as to make you highest above all the nations whom He has made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for your being a holy people to your God YHWH, as He has spoken.”
