< Deuteronomy 13 >

1 If a prophet or dreamer of dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you,
Nangmouh koe profet hoehpawiteh, mang ka mang thai e buetbuet touh tâcawt boilah, mitnoutnae hoehpawiteh, kângairunae na poe awh teh,
2 and if the sign or wonder he has spoken to you comes about, but he says, “Let us follow other gods (which you have not known) and let us worship them,”
hote mitnoutnae hoehpawiteh kângairunae hah akuep nakunghai, nang ni na panue hoeh e alouke cathut koe cet awh sei, bawk awh sei telah ahni ni dei pawiteh,
3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
hote e profet hoehpawiteh, mang ka mang e lawk hah na tarawi mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah na lungthin buemlahoi thoseh, na hringnae buemlahoi thoseh lung na pataw ou, pataw hoeh ou tie hah panue nahanelah nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh na tanouknae doeh.
4 You are to follow the LORD your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast to Him.
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hnuk na kâbang awh han. Takinae lung hoi kâpoelawknaw hah na tarawi awh han. A lawk ngâi laihoi na bawk awh vaiteh, BAWIPA dawk rek na kâhnai awh han.
5 Such a prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he has advocated rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way in which the LORD your God has commanded you to walk. So you must purge the evil from among you.
San lah na onae hmuen Izip ram hoi nangmouh na katâcawtkhai e nangmae BAWIPA Cathut koehoi phen sak hanelah thoseh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk na thui e lam dawk hoi phen sak hanelah a dei awh dawkvah, hote profet hai thoseh, mang ka mang thai e hai thoseh, a due nahanelah na thei awh han. Hottelah nangmouh koehoi yonnae hah na takhoe awh han.
6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (which neither you nor your fathers have known,
Nang ni na panue hoeh e, na mintoenaw ni hai a panue hoeh e alouke cathutnaw koe, cet awh sei, bawk awh sei, telah a dei teh, na hmaunawngha, na capanaw, na canunaw
7 the gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, whether from one end of the earth or the other),
Talai apoutnae koehoi avanglah apoutnae koe totouh, na tengpam vah, a hnai ahlanae koe kaawm e taminaw e cathutnaw ni na ka tacuek nakunghai thoseh,
8 you must not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield him.
nang ni na tarawi mahoeh. A lawk na ngâi pouh mahoeh. Na mit ni pahren mahoeh. Ahni hah na pasai mahoeh. Na hrawk mahoeh.
9 Instead, you must surely kill him. Your hand must be the first against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.
Na thei roeroe han. Na thei nahanelah na kut hmaloe na pho vaiteh, hathnukkhu tami pueng ni kut a pho awh van han.
10 Stone him to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Santoungnae koe Izip ram hoi nangmouh na katâcawtkhai e na BAWIPA Cathut koehoi pâlei hanelah a kâcai dawkvah, ahni hah talung hoi na dei vaiteh na thei han.
11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.
Hote kamthang hah Isarelnaw pueng ni a thai awh vaiteh, hot patetlah e hno hah nangmouh thung dawk bout sak laipalah ao awh nahane doeh.
12 If, regarding one of the cities the LORD your God is giving you to inhabit, you hear it said
Tami kahawi hoeh naw teh nangmouh thung hoi a tâco awh teh, nangmouh ni na panue awh hoeh e alouke cathut koe cei awh vaiteh bawk awh sei telah a dei awh teh,
13 that wicked men have arisen from among you and have led the people of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you have not known),
ahnimouh ni khocanaw a dum awh e hah, nange BAWIPA Cathut ni na o nahanelah na poe e kho buetbuet touh dawk kamthang na thai pawiteh, hote kong hah kamcengcalah na pacei han.
14 then you must inquire, investigate, and interrogate thoroughly. And if it is established with certainty that this abomination has been committed among you,
Kamthang na thai e patetlah kamceng boilah, hot patet e panuettho e hno sak katang pawiteh,
15 you must surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword. Devote to destruction all its people and livestock.
hote khocanaw hah tahloi hoi na thei han. Khopui hoi khopui dawk kaawm e tami hoi saringnaw pueng koung na raphoe han.
16 And you are to gather all its plunder in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. The city must remain a mound of ruins forever, never to be rebuilt.
Na lawp awh e hnopainaw pueng kho lungui lam dawk na hmouk awh vaiteh, hote khopui dawk hoi na lawp awh e pueng, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hanelah hmai na sawi awh han. Hote khopui teh songnawng lah pou ao han. A hnukkhu bout kangdout mahoeh toe.
17 Nothing devoted to destruction shall cling to your hands, so that the LORD will turn from His fierce anger, grant you mercy, show you compassion, and multiply you as He swore to your fathers,
BAWIPA ni a lungkhueknae hue a roum sak teh, na mintoenaw koe lawkkam e patetlah na rungngang vaiteh na pungdaw sak nahanelah, thoebo e hno buet touh boehai lat laipalah, abuemlahoi na tâkhawng han.
18 because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all His commandments I am giving you today and doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
Sahnin kai ni lawk na thui e patetlah BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah ngâi awh nateh, kâpoelawk pueng hah na tarawi vaiteh, BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah, kalan e hno hah sak awh nateh, BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah tarawi awh.
