Kâboutpoenae 5
1 Mosi ni Isarelnaw a pâkhueng teh, Isarelnaw thai awh haw, na kamtu awh e kâhruetcuet lahoi na hringkhai thai awh nahan, sahnin ka dei e phunglawk hah kahawicalah thai awh haw.
And Moses summoned all of Israel, and he said to them: “Listen, O Israel, to the ceremonies and judgments, which I am speaking to your ears on this day. Learn them, and fulfill them in deed.
2 Maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni Horeb mon dawk maimouh hoi, lawk a kam awh toe.
The Lord our God formed a covenant with us at Horeb.
3 Hote lawkkam hah Cathut ni maimae mintoenaw hoi dueng a sak e tho hoeh, sahnin kahring rah niteh, hi kaawm e maimouh puenghoi hai sak e lah ao.
He did not make the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are alive and in the present time.
4 BAWIPA ni mon dawkvah hmai thung hoi, minhmai kadangka lah a dei toe.
He spoke to us face to face on the mountain, from the midst of fire.
5 Hatnavah nangmouh ni hmai na taki awh teh, mon dawk na luen ngam awh hoeh dawkvah, kai teh BAWIPA Cathut e lawk na poe e hah dei hanelah BAWIPA hoi nangmae rahak ka kangdue.
I was the mediator, for I was in the middle between the Lord and you, at that time, to announce his words to you. For you were afraid of the fire, and so you did not ascend to the mountain. And he said:
6 A dei e lawk hateh, nangmouh san lah na onae Izip ram hoi na ka tâcawtkhai e nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
‘I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.
7 Kai hloilah Cathut alouke na bawk mahoeh.
You shall not have strange gods in my sight.
8 Kalvan hai thoseh, talai dawk hai thoseh, talai thung tui thung hai thoseh, kaawm e hoi kâvan e meikaphawk banghai namamouh han lah na sak awh mahoeh.
You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor the likeness of anything, which is in heaven above, or on earth below, or which abides in the waters under the earth.
9 A hmalah tabo laihoi bawk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae Cathut, Kai teh dipmasin Cathut, kai na kamaithoenaw e catoun, se thum se pali totouh a napanaw e yon hah a canaw dawk ka pathung e Cathut,
You shall not adore and you shall not worship these things. For I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, repaying the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation to those who hate me,
10 Kai hah lungpataw niteh, kaie kâpoelawk ka tarawi e a catounnaw koe a thongsang totouh pahrennae kamnuek sak e Cathut lah ka o.
and acting with mercy in thousands of ways to those who love me and keep my precepts.
11 Na BAWIPA Cathut e min hah laithoe koe lah na deirumram mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a min laithoe lah dei e yon a tawn telah BAWIPA ni a panue.
You shall not use the name of the Lord your God in vain. For he will not go unpunished who takes up his name over an unimportant matter.
12 Na BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk na thui e patetlah Sabbath hnin thoungsak hanelah ya awh.
Observe the day of the Sabbath, so that you may sanctify it, just as the Lord your God has instructed you.
13 Hnin taruk touh thung thaw na tawk han.
For six days, you shall labor and do all your work.
14 A hnin sari hnin teh BAWIPA Cathut e Sabbath hnin doeh, hote hnin dawk nama hoi na canaw, san napui, san tongpa, maito, la, na saring pueng, na imyin hai thaw tawk mahoeh. Longkha thung duem na o e patetlah san napui san tongpanaw ni duem ao awh han.
The seventh is the day of the Sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it, nor shall your son, nor daughter, nor man servant, nor woman servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor the sojourner who is within your gates, so that your men and woman servants may rest, just as you do.
15 Nang teh Izip ram san lah na onae thoseh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni a thaonae kut a dâw teh, hote ram hoi nang na tâcokhai e pouk haw. Hote a kong dawk nang ni Sabbath hnin na ya han telah BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei.
Remember that you also were servants in Egypt, and the Lord your God led you away from that place with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. Because of this, he has instructed you so that you would observe the Sabbath day.
16 BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawkvah, na hring a saw teh na yawhawi nahanelah, BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk na thui e patetlah na manu hoi na pa barilawa.
Honor your father and mother, just as the Lord your God has instructed you, so that you may live a long time, and so that it may be well with you in the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
17 Tami thet hanh.
You shall not murder.
18 Uicuk hanh.
And you shall not commit adultery.
19 Ayâ e hno parawt hanh.
And you shall not commit theft.
20 Na Imri koe, kahmanhoeh e kapanuekkhaikung lah awm hanh.
Neither shall you speak false testimony against your neighbor.
21 Na imri e a yu lungraduek hanh. Na imri e im, law, a san napui, a san tongpa, la, maito, hoi hnopai pueng buet touh boehai noenae lungthin tawn hanh telah a ti.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his house, nor his field, nor his man servant, nor his woman servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything out of all that is his.’
22 Hete lawknaw heh mon dawk hoi, hmai tâmai duk kamthim e kahmot e a thung hoi BAWIPA ni puenghoi kacaipounge lawk hoi nangmouh kamkhueng e rangpuinaw koe a dei. Rek bout dei hoeh toe. Hote lawknaw haiyah lungphen kahni touh dawk a thut teh kai koe na poe.
The Lord spoke these words to the entire multitude of you on the mountain, from the midst of the fire and the cloud and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, which he delivered to me.
23 Nangmouh ni hmo na thung e lawk na thai awh teh, Monsom hmai a kak lahun nah, nangmae catounnaw dawk e khobawinaw hoi kacuenaw kai koe a tho awh teh,
Then, after you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and you saw the mountain burning, you approached me, all you leaders of the tribes and those greater by birth. And you said:
24 maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni a bawilennae hoi a lentoenae maimouh koe a kamnue sak toe. Hmai thung hoi lawk hah maimouh ni thai awh toe. Cathut teh tami hoi a kâhmo teh a kâpato eiteh, tami teh a hring rah tie panue awh toe.
‘Behold, the Lord our God has revealed to us his majesty and his greatness. We have heard his voice from the midst of fire, and we have proven today that, though God is speaking with man, man has lived.
25 Maimouh teh bangkongmaw atu due awh han vaw. Hete taki ka tho poung hmai ni maimouh teh na kak awh han toe. Maimae BAWIPA Cathut e lawk dei e hah bout thai awh pawiteh, due awh han doeh toe.
Therefore, why should we die, and why should this very great fire devour us? For if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, we will die.
26 Ka hring Cathut ni hmai thung hoi a dei e lawk hah, maimouh ni thai awh e patetlah, apipatet e tami ni maw ka thai ni teh ka hring vaw.
What is all flesh, that it would hear the voice of the living God, who speaks from the midst of fire, just as we have heard it, and be able to live?
27 Nang ni a tengpam cet nateh maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e pueng thai awh haw. Maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni kai koe na dei pouh e pueng patuen dei pouh haw. Kaimouh ni ka thai awh vaiteh ka tarawi awh han.
Instead, you should approach and listen to all the things that the Lord our God will say to you. And you will speak to us, and we will listen and do these things.’
28 Hottelah nangmouh ni kai koe na dei awh e lawk BAWIPA ni a thai. BAWIPA Cathut nihai, hete miphun ni nang koe a dei e lawk ka thai, a dei e lawk pueng teh ahawi.
But when the Lord had heard this, he said to me: ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they spoke to you. All this, they have spoken well.
29 Ahnimouh hoi a catounnaw ni ahawinae a hmu nahanelah, kai na taki awh teh kâpoelawknaw pueng hah pou a tarawi ngainae lungthin hoi kawi awh naseh.
Who will grant to them to have such a mind, so that they may fear me, and may keep all my commandments at all times, so that it may be well with them and with their sons forever?
30 Rimnaw koe lah bout ban a leih telah dei pouh.
Go and say to them: Return to your tents.
31 Nang teh hete hmuen dawk ka teng kangdout. Ahnimouh kai ni ka coe sak e ram dawk a sak awh hane ahnimouh cangkhai hane kâpoelawk, phunglawk hoi lawkcengnae pueng ka dei han telah a ti.
But as for you, stand here with me, and I will speak to you all my commandments and ceremonies, as well as judgments. These, you shall teach them, so that they may do them in the land, which I will give to them as a possession.
32 Hatdawkvah maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni kâ na poe e patetlah nangmouh ni na sak awh nahan, na kâhruetcuet awh han. Avoilah nakunghai, aranglah nakunghai na phen takhai awh mahoeh.
And so, keep and do the things which the Lord God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.
33 Nangmouh na coe awh hane ram dawk, nangmouh ni duethinae dawk hoi na hlout awh vaiteh, hringyung saw nahanelah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e lamthungnaw pueng dawk na dawn awh han.
For you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God has instructed, so that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be extended in the land of your possession.’”
