1 Nangmouh hoi na mincanaw ni namamae BAWIPA Cathut hah na taki awh vaiteh,

“These are the precepts and ceremonies, as well as the judgments, which the Lord your God has commanded that I teach to you, which you shall do in the land to which you will travel in order to possess it.

2 Kai ni na poe e naw, pueng hah hringyung thung na tarawi thai e hoi, na hringyung a vang sak thai nahan na cei awh vaiteh, na coe hane ram dawk, na sak awh hane kai ni na cangkhai hanlah, nangmae Cathut ni lawk na poe e kâpoelawknaw, phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw hateh,

So may you fear the Lord your God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I am entrusting to you, and to your sons and grandsons, all the days of your life, so that your days may be prolonged.

3 Oe Isarel miphun, mintoenaw e Cathut e lawkkam patetlah nang ni sanu tui, khoitui a lawngnae ram dawk na yawhawi awh teh, na pungdaw awh nahan thai awh, kâhruetcuet lahoi tarawi awh.

Listen and observe, O Israel, so that you may do just as the Lord has instructed you, and it may be well with you, and you may be multiplied all the more, for the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you a land flowing with milk and honey.

4 Oe Isarel miphun thai awh haw, maimae BAWIPA Cathut teh buet touh dueng e BAWIPA la doeh ao.

Listen, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.

5 Nange BAWIPA Cathut hah, na lungthin abuemlah, na hringnae abuemlah hoi thaonae abuemlahoi lungpataw haw.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.

6 Sahnin kai ni na poe e lawk hah na lung dawk na pâkuem han.

And these words, which I instruct to you this day, shall be in your heart.

7 Hote lawk hah panki lahoi na canaw na cangkhai han. Im dawk tahung nahai thoseh, cei nahai thoseh, i nahai thoseh, thaw nahai thoseh, hote lawk hah na dei pouh awh han.

And you shall explain them to your sons. And you shall meditate upon them sitting in your house, and walking on a journey, when lying down and when rising up.

8 Hote lawk hai na kut dawk mitnout nahanelah thoseh, na mit rahak hai thoseh na bet han.

And you shall bind them like a sign on your hand, and they shall be placed and shall move between your eyes.

9 Im takhang, khopui longkha dawk hai na thut han.

And you shall write them at the threshold and on the doors of your house.

10 Na kangdue sak hoeh e khopuinaw hai thoseh, hnokahawi hoi kakawi e imnaw hai thoseh,

And when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, about which he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and when he will have given to you great and excellent cities, which you did not build;

11 tuikhu na tai hoeh e hai thoseh, na patue hoeh e misur takha hoi olivekungnaw hai thoseh, nang na poe hanelah na pa Abraham, Isak, Jakop, koe lawkkam e ram koe nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na hrawi awh vaiteh kaboumcalah na ca awh han.

houses full of goods, which you did not amass; cisterns, which you did not dig; vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant;

12 San lah na onae Izip ram lahoi nangmouh na ka tâcawtkhai e BAWIPA Cathut na pahnim awh hoeh nahan, namamouh kâhruetcuet awh.

and when you will have eaten and been satisfied:

13 Na BAWIPA Cathut hah na taki awh han. Hote Cathut dueng na bawk awh han. A min lahoi thoe hai na kâbo awh hanh.

take care diligently, lest you forget the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. You shall fear the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone, and you shall swear by his name.

14 Alouke Cathut, na tengpam e miphunnaw e cathut hnuk na kâbang awh mahoeh.

You shall not go after the strange gods of all the Gentiles, who are around you.

15 Nangmae Cathut teh nangmouh dawk dipma Cathut doeh. Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut teh nangmouh koe a lungkhuek vaiteh, talai van hoi na raphoe han tie taki hane ao.

For the Lord your God is a jealous God in your midst. Otherwise, at some time, the fury of the Lord your God may be enraged against you, and he may take you away from the face of the earth.

16 Nangmouh ni Massah hmuen dawk na tanouk e patetlah na BAWIPA Cathut hah tanouk awh hanh.

You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the place of temptation.

17 BAWIPA Cathut ni na hruek pouh awh e kapanuekkhaikung, lawkkam, kâpoelawknaw hah panki lahoi na tarawi awh han.

Keep the precepts of the Lord your God, as well as the testimonies and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.

18 Nang na hlout nahanelah,

And do what is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, so that it may be well with you, and so that, when you enter, you may possess the excellent land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers

19 BAWIPA Cathut e a lawkkam patetlah tarannaw pueng, nangmae hmalah hoi ka pâlei vaiteh, nangmae na mintoenaw koe ka kam e ram hah na coe awh vaiteh, na o sak nahan, BAWIPA Cathut hmalah kalan e hno sak awh.

that he would wipe away all your enemies before you, just as he has spoken.

20 Hmalae tueng dawk na canaw ni, kaimae Cathut ni na poe e lawkpanuesaknae, phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw hah bangmaw a deingai telah na pacei awh pawiteh,

And when your son will ask you tomorrow, saying: ‘What do these testimonies and ceremonies and judgments mean, which the Lord our God has entrusted to us?’

21 Nang ni kaimanaw Izip ram dawk Faro siangpahrang e san lah ka o awh nah BAWIPA e a thaonae kut hoi kaimanaw hah Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai awh.

You shall say to him: ‘We were servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord led us away from Egypt with a strong hand.

22 BAWIPA nihai, lentoe kângairunae hah Izip ram hoi Faro imthungkhu lathueng hai thoseh, maimae hmaitung a sak hnukkhu,

And he wrought signs and wonders, great and very grievous, in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his house, in our sight.

23 Mintoenaw koe a kam e ram dawk na kâenkhai teh hmuen na poe hanelah hote ram dawk hoi na tâcokhai awh.

And he led us away from that place, so that he might lead us in and give us the land, about which he swore to our fathers.

24 BAWIPA ni sahnin totouh na lungma e patetlah hringnae na hlung pouh nahanelah, maimouh hawi nahanlah hete phunglawknaw pueng tarawi han. BAWIPA Cathut taki hanelah lawk na thui awh.

And the Lord instructed us that we should do all these ordinances, and that we should fear the Lord our God, so that it may be well with us all the days of our life, just as it is today.

25 Hatdawkvah, maimae BAWIPA ni kâ na poe e patetlah, hete kâpoelawknaw pueng a hmalah tarawi nahanelah, na kâhruetcuet pawiteh, lannae koe na pha awh han telah, bout na dei awh han.

And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and perform all his precepts, in the sight of the Lord our God, just as he has commanded us.’”
