Kâboutpoenae 29
1 Hethateh, Horeb hmuen koe Isarelnaw hoi BAWIPA ni lawkkam e hloilah, Moab ram dawk Isarelnaw hoi lawkkam hanelah, Mosi koe a dei pouh e lawkkam lawk doeh.
These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
2 Mosi ni Isarelnaw pueng ama koe a kaw teh, nangmouh ni patuen bout na dei awh hane teh, Izip ram Faro siangpahrang hoi a taminaw hoi a ram pueng e lathueng na mithmu roeroe vah, BAWIPA ni a sak e pueng teh be na hmu awh toe.
Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
3 Tanouknae, mitnoutnaw, hoi kângairu hnonaw hah na mit hoi roeroe na hmu awh.
You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
4 Hatei, thaipanueknae lung, hmuthainae mit, thaithainae hnânaw hah sahnin ditouh na poe awh hoeh rah.
But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
5 A kum 40 touh thung kahrawngum vah nangmouh na hrawi awh toe. Nangmae khohna pawn hoeh. na khokkhawm hai pawn hoeh.
For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
6 BAWIPA teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut lah ao tie na panue awh nahanelah, nangmouh ni vaiyei na cat awh hoeh, misur hoi yamu hai na net awh hoeh.
You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
7 Hete hmuen koe na pha awh navah, Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon hoi Bashan siangpahrang Og tinaw teh, kaimouh na tuk hanelah a tho awh teh, kaimouh ni ka tâ awh.
“And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
8 Aram ka la awh hnukkhu Reuben, Gad, Manasseh miphun tangawn naw hah râw lah ka poe awh.
We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 Na tawksak awh e hno pueng dawkvah, hawinae na coe awh nahanelah, hete lawkkam heh kuen awh nateh hringkhai awh.
“So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
10 Atuvah miphun kahrawikung abuemlahoi,
Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
11 kacuenaw hoi kahrawikungnaw, Isarelnaw pueng, camosennaw, na yunaw, na imluennaw, na thing katâtuengnaw, na tui kadonaw totouh,
your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
12 sahnin BAWIPA ni nangmouh koevah, thoebo lah kaawm e lawkkam thungvah na kâen awh thai nahane hoi,
[We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
13 na pa Abraham, Isak, hoi Jakop hoi nangmouh koe lawk a kam teh a dei tangcoung patetlah nangmae Cathut lah ao thai nahane hoi a tami lah na o thai nahanelah caksak lah na o awh nahan,
[He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14 thoebonae hoi lawkkamnae hah nangmouh koe dueng ka sak e tho hoeh.
This agreement is not only with you.
15 Sahnin BAWIPA Cathut hmalah kangdout e hoi atu hi kaawm hoeh e naw koehai a sak e doeh.
He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
16 (Bangkongtetpawiteh, Izip ram vah bangtelamaw khosak awh tie hoi nangmouh ni na ceinae miphunnaw e rahak vah bangtelamaw na cei awh tie hai na panue awh.
“You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
17 Ahnimae panuettho e hnopainaw hoi, ahnimouh koe kaawm e thing, talung, sui, ngun naw hoi sak e ahnimae meikaphawknaw hah nangmouh ni na hmu awh toe. )
In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
18 BAWIPA Cathut koehoi phen hane ngainae lungpouk na tawn awh teh, hote miphunnaw e cathutnaw koe na cei awh teh, tongpa, napui, imthung thoseh, miphunnaw hoi ka cet e, kakhat e a paw lungkhueknae a paw, a khongyang teh nangmouh dawk a paw han tie thoseh,
So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
19 hot patetlae tami teh, thoebonae lawk a thai navah, a lungpata e patetlah ka sak vaiteh, tui kahrannae dawk paruinae mek bawksak nakunghai, lungmawng lah ka o han ka tet e awm langvaih tie ngaihrinae ao.
“Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
20 Ahni teh BAWIPA ni pasai hoeh, dipmanae, lungkhueknae hmaikhu a tâco teh, Cakathoung dawk thut e thoebonae naw ahnimae lathueng ao han. BAWIPA ni ahnie min teh, kalvan rahim a raphoe han.
Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
21 Hete kâlawk cauk dawk thut e thoebonae lawkkam e patetlah Isarel miphun pueng thung hoi BAWIPA ni a kapek han.
From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
22 Ram thungvah BAWIPA ni a poe hane lacik hoi patawnae hah na hnuklah ka tho hane sekatha na catounnaw hoi ahlanae koehoi ka tho hane ramlouk e taminaw ni a hmu awh toteh,
“In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
23 Ram thungvah gan, palawi, hoi hmaisaan, cati patue thaihoehnae, apawhik a tâcohoehnae, a lungphuennae hoi a lungkhueknae hoi BAWIPA ni a tâkhawng e Sodom hoi Gomorrah hoi Admah hoi Zeboiim patetlah a tâkhawng e a hmu awh toteh,
They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
24 miphun pueng ni, bangkongmaw BAWIPA ni hete ram heh hettelah a sak. Hete kalenpounge lungkhueknae heh bang nama aw ati awh han.
And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
25 Hattoteh taminaw ni, Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai navah, ahnimouh hoi lawk a kam e ahnimae mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut e lawkkam hah a ceitakhai awh teh,
“Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
26 ahnimouh hanelah banghai ka pouk thai hoeh e cathut alouke, a panue awh boihoeh e cathut thaw a tawk awh dawk doeh ati awh han.
Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
27 Hete cakathoung dawk thut lah kaawm e thoebonae pueng, hete ram dawk phasak hanelah, BAWIPA a lungkhuek.
So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
28 BAWIPA ni lungphuennae, puenghoi lungkhueknae, Lungphuennae hoi ahnimae ram dawk hoi ahnimouh hah a rasa teh, sahnin e patetlah alouke ram dawk a pâlei toe tie hah doeh.
Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
29 Kamnuek hoeh rae naw teh BAWIPA Cathut mae doeh. Hatei, pâpho e naw teh maimouh hoi maimae canaw hanelah pout laipalah ao teh, hete kâlawknaw pueng teh tarawi nahanelah doeh.
“[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
