Deuteronomy 4
1 Hear now, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow, so that you may live and may enter and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
Israel aw oltlueh neh laitloeknah te hnatun laeh. Tete vai hamla nangmih kan cang puei. Te daengah ni na hinguh tihna phauh vaengah khaw na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPAloh nangmih taengah m'paek khohmuen tena pang uh eh.
2 You must not add to or subtract from what I command you, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you.
Kailoh nangmih kang uen olka he thap khaw thap uh boeh, hlaek khaw hlaek uh boeh. Na BOEIPA Pathen kah olpaek, nangmih kang uen te ngaithuenuh.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal-peor, for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all who followed Baal of Peor.
Baalpeor ah BOEIPAloha saii te na mikloha hmuhuh coeng. Baalpeor hnukahaka cet hlang boeih te na BOEIPA Pathenloh nangmih khui lamkah a mitmoeng sak coeng.
4 But you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive to this day, every one of you.
Tedae na BOEIPA Pathenaka ben nangmih tah tihnin due boeih na hinguh.
5 See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the LORD my God has commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
So lah, nangmih te ka Pathen BOEIPAloh kai n'uen bangla oltlueh neh laitloeknah kan cang puei. Te te pang hamla pahoiaka kun nangmihloh tekah khohmuen khui ah vaiuh.
6 Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, who will hear of all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
Pilnam kah mikhmuh ahna cueihnah nehna yakmingnah ham khaw he he ngaithuenuh lamtah vaiuh. Tekah oltlueh boeih te a yaakuh vaengah, 'Hekah Pilnam bueng ni aka cueih tihaka thuep pilnu la aka om he,’ a ti uh ni.
7 For what nation is great enough to have a god as near to them as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?
Amah te mamih loh n'khueuh takuem ah mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen banglaaka hmaiben pathente mebang pilnu ham lae a om eh.
8 And what nation is great enough to have righteous statutes and ordinances like this entire law I set before you today?
Tihnin kah nangmih mikhmuh ah ka tloeng olkhueng boeih banglaaka dueng oltlueh neh laitloeknah he mebang pilnu ham bal lae?
9 Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.
Tedae namah te ngaithuenuh lamtah na hinglu khaw rhep ngaithuen. Na mikloha hmuh hno te koeloe na hnilh ve, na hing tue khuiah na thinko lamloh nong ve. Te dongah na carhoek taeng neh na ca rhoek kah a carhoek taengah ming sak.
10 The day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, “Gather the people before Me to hear My words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach them to their children.”
Na BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh ahna pai vaeng hninah BOEIPAloh Horeb ah, 'Pilnam te kamah taengah tingtun sak. Khohmuen kah mulhing rhoek loh a tue khuiah kai n'rhihuh ham kamah kah olka ka yaak sak vanbangla n'tukkil uh saeh lamtah a ca rhoekte tukkil uh saeh,’ a ti.
11 You came near and stood at the base of the mountain, a mountain blazing with fire to the heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.
Tedaena pawkuh tih tlang yung kahna paiuh vaengah tlangte hmai la alhtih vaan lungui te cingmai neh yinnahloha hmuep sak.
12 And the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice.
Te vaengah nangmih te BOEIPAloh hmai khui lamkah m'voek. A olcal olte na yaak uh ngawn dae a ol bueng mai ni, A mueiaka hmuh na om uh moenih.
13 He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to follow—the Ten Commandments that He wrote on two tablets of stone.
Te vaengah nangmih loh na vaiuh ham ol lungrha n'uen te amah kah paipi la nangmih taengah a doek tih lungto lungpael panit dongah a daek.
14 At that time the LORD commanded me to teach you the statutes and ordinances you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
Te dongah nangmih tukkil ham koi oltlueh neh nangmih loh na kun uh tih na panguh ham koi khohmuen ah na vaiuh ham laitloeknah khaw amah tekah khohnin ahni BOEIPAloh kai n'uen pueng.
15 So since you saw no form of any kind on the day the LORD spoke to you out of the fire at Horeb, be careful
Horeb ah BOEIPAloh hmai khui lamkah nangmih m'voek hnin vaengah a muei boeihna hmuhuh pawt dongah na hinglu te matna ngaithuenuh.
16 that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,
Na pociuh vetih huta tongpa muei dongkah mueimae boeih,
17 of any beast that is on the earth or bird that flies in the air,
Diklai dongkah rhamsa boeihkaha muei, vaan ah a phae neh aka ding vaa boeihkaha muei khaw,
18 or of any creature that crawls on the ground or fish that is in the waters below.
diklai dongahaka colh boeihkaha muei, diklai hmui ah tui khuikah nga boeih kah muei khaw, nangmih ham mueithuk muei la na saiiuh ve.
19 When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
Na mikte vaan lana huel ve. Khomik, hla, aisi neh vaan caempuei boeih kena hmuh vaengah na BOEIPA Pathenloh vaan hmui boeih kah pilnamrhoek boeih ham a hmoel taengah thothueng hamlana bakop thil vetih n'heh ve.
20 Yet the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of His inheritance, as you are today.
Tedae tahae khohnin kah bangla amah taengah rhoaka pang pilnam la om sak ham ni nangmih te BOEIPA loh Egypt thi hmai-ulh khui lamkah n'loh tih n'khuen.
21 The LORD, however, was angry with me on account of you, and He swore that I would not cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Tedae nangmih kah olka dongah BOEIPAte kai taengah a thintoek. Te dongah Jordan ka lan pawt ham neh na BOEIPA Pathenloh nang taengah rho la m'paek khohmuen then khuiah kun pawt ham ola coeng.
22 For I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I must die in this land. But you shall cross over and take possession of that good land.
Kai tah hekah khohmuen ah ka duek vetih, Jordan te ka kat voel mahpawh. Tedae nangmih katuh lamtah khohmuen then te panguh.
23 Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God that He made with you; do not make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything He has forbidden you.
Nangmih te ngaithuen uh, na Pathen BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah a saii paipi te na hnilh uh vetih na Pathen BOEIPA loh nang n'uen bangla a cungkuem muei kah mueithuk te namamih ham na saii uh ve.
24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Na BOEIPA Pathen tah thatlai Pathen la om tih hmai bangla n'hlawp thai.
25 After you have children and grandchildren and you have been in the land a long time, if you then act corruptly and make an idol of any form—doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and provoking Him to anger—
Cana sakuh tih ca rhoek kah carhoek khaw khohmuen ahna ih nahnut ah na pociuh tih a cungkuem muei kah mueithuk te na saiiuh atah, amahte veet hamla na Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni na saiiuh.
26 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it, but will be utterly destroyed.
Tihninah Jordanaka kat nangmih te khohmuen dong lamkah koeloena milh rhoe na milh ham te vaan neh diklai he nangmih taengah kan laipai sak coeng. Khohmuen na pang uh cakhaw na khohninloh senuh pawt vetih a mit rhoe la na mit uh ni.
27 Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
Pilnam rhoek lakli ah nangmih te BOEIPA loh n'taekyaak vetih hlang sii la aka cul te khaw namtom taengla na BOEIPA loh m'vai ni.
28 And there you will serve man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.
Te vaengah hlang kutloh lungto thingngo neh a sai pathen, aka hmu mueh, aka ya thai mueh, aka ca thai mueh nehaka him thai mueh teni tho na thueng thil eh.
29 But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Na Pathen BOEIPA te tekah khohmuen lamkahna thuepuh tih na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih nehna tlap atahna hmuh van ni.
30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice.
Vuenvai ah nang ham khobing tih hekah olka boeihloh nang taengla ha pawkuh vaengah na BOEIPA Pathen taenglana bal vetih a ol tena yaak atah,
31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers, which He swore to them by oath.
na Pathen BOEIPA he thinphoei Pathen la a om dongah nang te n'rhael pawt vetih m'phae mahpawh. Na parhoek taengah a caeng paipi te khaw hnilh mahpawh.
32 Indeed, ask now from one end of the heavens to the other about the days that long preceded you, from the day that God created man on earth: Has anything as great as this ever happened or been reported?
Diklai dongah Pathenloh hlang a suen khohnin lamloh na mikhmuh ahaka om hnukbuet tue te dawt laeh. Te dongah vaan khobawt lamkah vaan khobawt duela tahae kah hno len bangla om vai nim? Te bang te n'yaak vai nim?
33 Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived?
Hmai khui lamkah a thui Pathen kah olte nang loh na yaak bangla pilnamloha yaak tih a hing puei van nim?
34 Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation—by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors—as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?
Na Pathen BOEIPAloh Egypt ah nangmih ham na mikhmuh ah a saii bangla namtom khui lamkah namtomte amah hamaka lo la a paantih noemcainah neh, miknoek neh, kopoekrhai neh, caemtloek neh, tlungluen kut neh, ban lam neh, rhimomnah tangkik neh a tloe pathenloha noemcai a?
35 You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him.
BOEIPA Pathen amah phoeiah a tloe Pathen om pawh tila ming sak ham nang n'tuengcoeng.
36 He let you hear His voice from heaven to discipline you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire.
Nangmih toel hamni a ol te vaan lamloh nang n'yaak sak. Diklai dongah khaw amah kah hmai puei te nang n'tueng coeng dongah amah kah olkate hmai khui lamkahna yaakcoeng.
37 Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt by His presence and great power,
Na parhoek te khaw a lungnah dongahni a hnukkah a tiingan te khaw a coelh tih a mikhmuh ah a thadueng a len neh Egypt lamloh nang n'khuen.
38 to drive out before you nations greater and mightier than you, and to bring you into their land and give it to you for your inheritance, as it is this day.
Amah tihnin kah bangla nang mawt ham neh amih kah khohmuen te nang taengah rho la paek ham rhoe ni nang lakahaka len neh pilnu namtomte na mikhmuh lamloh a haek.
39 Know therefore this day and take to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
Te dongah tihninah ming lamtah na thinkokhui ah duehlaeh. BOEIPA Pathen amah bang he vaan so ah khaw, diklai hman neh a khui ah khaw a om bal moenih.
40 Keep His statutes and commandments, which I am giving you today, so that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time.
Namah neh na hnukkah na carhoek khaw khophoeng a pha van ham tah tihninah kailoh nang kang uen oltlueh neh olpaek he ngaithuen. Te daengahni BOEIPA na Pathen loh na hing tuekhui boeih ham nang m'paek khohmuen ahna hinglung a vang eh?,’ a ti.
41 Then Moses set aside three cities across the Jordan to the east
Te vaengah Mosesloh khomik khocuk la aka dan uh Jordan rhalvangan kah khopuei pathum te a hoep tih,
42 to which a manslayer could flee after killing his neighbor unintentionally without prior malice. To save one’s own life, he could flee to one of these cities:
U khaw a ming mueh neh hlaem hlavai lamkah a taengah a hmuhuet mueh mai ah a hui te a ngawn atah tekah hlang aka ngawnloha rhaelrham vaengah te tekah khopuei khat khat la rhaelrham sak tih hinglu hlawt sak ham,
43 Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau belonging to the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the Gadites, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the Manassites.
Reuben koca kah tlangkol khohmuen, khosoek ah Bezer neh, Gad koca kah Gilead ah Ramoth khaw, Manasseh koca kah Bashan ah Golan te a hoep.
44 This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites.
Hekah olkhueng he Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Mosesloha khueh pah tih,
45 These are the testimonies, statutes, and ordinances that Moses proclaimed to them after they had come out of Egypt,
Hekah olphong neh oltlueh khaw laitloeknah he khaw Egypt lamkah halo vaengah Israel carhoek taengah Mosesloha uen.
46 while they were in the valley across the Jordan facing Beth-peor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.
Moses neh Israel ca rhoek loh Egypt lamkah halo vaengah Jordan rhalvang, Bethpeor imdan kolrhawk khuikah neh Sihon khohmuen dongkah Heshbon ahaka om Amori manghai te a tloek tih,
47 They took possession of the land belonging to Sihon and to Og king of Bashan—the two Amorite kings across the Jordan to the east—
amah khohmuen la, khomik khocuk Jordan rhalvang kah Amori manghai rhoi neh Bashan manghai Oga kah khohmuen,
48 extending from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Siyon (that is, Hermon),
Arnon soklong tuikung Aroer lamkah Hermon kah Siyon tlang due,
49 including all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.
Jordan rhalvang khocuk benkah kolken pum neh Pisgah tuibah hmuikah kolken tuitunli due pataeng a huuluh.
