< Deuteronomy 12 >

1 These are the statutes and ordinances you must be careful to follow all the days you live in the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess.
Khohmuen kahaka hing nangmih tena tue khuiah pang sak hamla na parhoek kah Pathen BOEIPAloh nang taengah m'paek khohmuen ah herhoek kah oltlueh neh laitloeknah he vai hamla ngaithuenuh.
2 Destroy completely all the places where the nations you are dispossessing have served their gods—atop the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.
Na haekuh namtom rhoek loh tho a thuengnah hmuen boeih te milh rhoe milhsakuh. Amih kah pathen te tlang ah khaw, som ah khaw, thing hing hmui boeih ah a pomsang uh lah ko.
3 Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn up their Asherah poles, cut down the idols of their gods, and wipe out their names from every place.
A hmueihtuk te palet lamtah a kaam te phaekuh. Amih kah Asherahte hmai neh hoehuh. Amih kah pathen mueidaepte khaw tloekuh. A ming te te hmuen lamloh phaeuh.
4 You shall not worship the LORD your God in this way.
BOEIPA na Pathen taengah te bang te saiiuh boeh.
5 Instead, you must seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to establish as a dwelling for His Name, and there you must go.
Tedae BOEIPA na Pathenloh amah minga phuktih khosak thil hama coelh hmuen te mah nangmih koca boeih loh tlapuh lamtah paanuh.
6 To that place you are to bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and heave offerings, your vow offerings and freewill offerings, as well as the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
Te lamte na hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih khaw, parha pakhat neh na kut dongkah khocang khaw, na olcaeng neh na kothoh khaw, na saelhung neh na boiva cacuek te khaw khuenuh.
7 There, in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your households shall eat and rejoice in all you do, because the LORD your God has blessed you.
BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah cauh. BOEIPA na Pathenloh na yoe han then sak vanbangla namamih neh na imkhui kah na kut thuengnah boeih dongahna kohoesakuh.
8 You are not to do as we are doing here today, where everyone does what seems right in his own eyes.
Tihnin kah he rhoek ah mamih boeih loh n'saiiuh bangla saiiuh boeh. Hlang he amah mikhmuh ah boeih thuem ta.
9 For you have not yet come to the resting place and the inheritance that the LORD your God is giving you.
Duemnah neh BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang taengah m'paek rho khuiah na kunuh pawt ve.
10 When you cross the Jordan and live in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and He gives you rest from all the enemies around you and you dwell securely,
Jordanna poenguh tih BOEIPA na Pathenloh nangmih m'pang sak khohmuen lana omuh vaengaha kaepvai kah na thunkha cungkuem taeng lamloh nangmih n'duem sak vetih ngaikhuek la kho na sak uh bitni.
11 then the LORD your God will choose a dwelling for His Name. And there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice offerings you vow to the LORD.
Tedae BOEIPA na Pathenloh amah ming om sak ham amah taengaha coelh hmuen te om bitni. Teah tah kailoh nangmih kang uen vanbangla na hmueihhlutnah neh na hmueih khaw, parha pakhat neh na kut dongkah khocang khaw, BOEIPA taengahna caeng, olcaeng piyawn boeih khaw boeih khuenuh.
12 And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
Te vaengah namamih neh na canu na capa rhoek khaw, na salpa neh na salnurhoek khaw, nangmih bangla khoyo neh rho om pawt tih na vongka khuiah aka om Levirhoekkhaw BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ahna kohoesakuh.
13 Be careful not to offer your burnt offerings in just any place you see;
Namah te ngaithuen, na hmuh bangla hmuen cungkuem ah na hmueihhlutnahna tloeng ve.
14 you must offer them only in the place the LORD will choose in one of your tribal territories, and there you shall do all that I command you.
Namah koca pakhat khuiah BOEIPAkaha coelh hmuen bueng ahni na hmueihhlutnah te na nawn vetih kang uen bangla boeihna saii eh.
15 But whenever you want, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your gates, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you. Both the ceremonially clean and unclean may eat it as they would a gazelle or deer,
Tedae na hingluloh a hue boeih te ngawn lamtah BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang m'paek yoethennah maeh la ca. Na vongka khuikah boeih te tah rhalawt neha cuem khaw rhangrhaeh bangla, kirhang bangla ca saeh.
16 but you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
Tedae thii te tah ca boeh. Diklai dongah tui bangla hawk.
17 Within your gates you must not eat the tithe of your grain or new wine or oil, the firstborn of your herds or flocks, any of the offerings that you have vowed to give, or your freewill offerings or special gifts.
Na cangpai, misur thai, situi parha pakhat khaw, na saelhung neh boiva cacuek, na caeng tangtae na olcaeng boeih, na kothoh neh na kut dongkah khosaa tah na vongka ahna caak ham coeng pawh.
18 Instead, you must eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates. Rejoice before the LORD your God in all you do,
Namah neh na canu na capa long khaw, na salnu salpa long khaw, na vongka khuiah aka om Levi long khaw, BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah cauh. Tekaha hmuen te tah BOEIPA na Pathen amah long ni a tuek. Te dongah na kut thuengnah boeih nen khaw BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ahna kohoesakuh.
19 and be careful not to neglect the Levites as long as you live in your land.
Namah te ngaithuen. na khohmuen kah na hing tue khuiah Levirhoek tena hnoo ve ne.
20 When the LORD your God expands your territory as He has promised, and you crave meat and say, “I want to eat meat,” you may eat it whenever you want.
Nang taengkaha thui vanbangla BOEIPA na Pathenloh na khorhi hang aeh vaengah na hingluloh maeh caak hamlaa nai tih, “Maeh ka caak lah sue,” na ti oeh atah na hingluloh a hue mebang maeh khaw na caak thai.
21 If the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His Name is too far from you, then you may slaughter any of the herd or flock He has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat it within your gates whenever you want.
BOEIPA na Pathenloh amah ming phuk thil hama coelh hmuente nang lamloh hlavak oeh tih, BOEIPAloh nang m'paek saelhung neh boivanina ngawn atah, kang uen vanbangla na hingluloh a hue bangla namah vongka ah khaw ca mai.
22 Indeed, you may eat it as you would eat a gazelle or deer; both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it.
Rhangrhaeh neh kirhangna caak bangla ca saeh lamtah rhalawt akhawa cuem akhaw rhenten ca saeh.
23 Only be sure not to eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
Tedae a thii tah hinglu la a om dongah thiite caak pawt ham tuemuh. A hinglu te maeh neh hmaih ca boeh.
24 You must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
Tete ca boel lamtah diklai dongah tui bangla hawk.
25 Do not eat it, so that it may go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
Na caak pawt daengahni BOEIPA mikhmuh aha thuemlaa saii vetih namah neh namah hnukkah na ca rhoek loh khophoeng a pha eh.
26 But you are to take your holy things and your vow offerings and go to the place the LORD will choose.
Tedae namah taengkahaka om hnocim neh na olcaeng tah khuen lamtah BOEIPAkaha coelh hmuen te mah paan puei.
27 Present the meat and blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD your God. The blood of your other sacrifices must be poured out beside the altar of the LORD your God, but you may eat the meat.
Na hmueihhlutnah maeh neh thiite BOEIPA na Pathen kah hmueihtuk soah nawn. Tedae na hmueih thiite BOEIPA na Pathen kah hmueihtuk dongah hawk lamtaha saa tah ca mai.
28 Be careful to obey all these things I command you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
Kailoh nang kang uen olka boeih he ngaithuen lamtah hnatun. Te daengahni BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh aha thuem neha then la na saii vetih namah neh na hnukkah na ca rhoek long khaw kumhal duela khophoeng a pha eh.
29 When the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations you are entering to dispossess, and you drive them out and live in their land,
Namtom haek ham na paan vaengah BOEIPA na Pathenloh na mikhmuh lamkaha tulnoicoeng. Te dongahni amih tena haek tih a khohmuen ah kho na sak.
30 be careful not to be ensnared by their ways after they have been destroyed before you. Do not inquire about their gods, asking, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.”
Namah te ngaithuen, na mikhmuh lamkah amiha mitmoeng sak phoeiah amih hnukah n'hlaeh ve. Te dongah, “Namtom rhoekloh a pathen taengah metlam a tho a thueng uh, kai long khaw ka saii van mako?,” aka ti hamla amih kah pathen kawng te na toem ve.
31 You must not worship the LORD your God in this way, because they practice for their gods every abomination which the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
BOEIPAkaha tueilaehkoi boeih te tah BOEIPA na Pathen taengah saii boeh. A pathen taengah hmai neh a canu a capaa hoehuh tih a pathen hama saii uh te a hmuhuet.
32 See that you do everything I command you; do not add to it or subtract from it.
Kailoh nang kang uen olka boeih hena saii tih na thap pawt ham nehna yueh pawt hamla ngaithuen.
