Deuteronomy 12
1 “These are the precepts and judgments which you must do in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, will give to you, so that you may possess it during all the days that you shall walk upon the soil.
Khohmuen kah aka hing nangmih te na tue khuiah pang sak hamla na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA loh nang taengah m'paek khohmuen ah he rhoek kah oltlueh neh laitloeknah he vai hamla ngaithuen uh.
2 Overturn all the places where the nations, which you will possess, worshipped their gods on lofty mountains, and on hills, and under every leafy tree.
Na haek uh namtom rhoek loh tho a thueng nah hmuen boeih te milh rhoe milh sakuh. Amih kah pathen te tlang ah khaw, som ah khaw, thing hing hmui boeih ah a pomsang uh lah ko.
3 Scatter their altars and break their statues. Burn their sacred groves with fire and crush their idols. Abolish their names from those places.
A hmueihtuk te palet lamtah a kaam te phaek uh. Amih kah Asherah te hmai neh hoeh uh. Amih kah pathen mueidaep te khaw tloek uh. A ming te te hmuen lamloh phae uh.
4 But you shall not do the same to the Lord your God.
BOEIPA na Pathen taengah te bang te saii uh boeh.
5 Instead, you shall approach the place which the Lord your God will choose among all your tribes, so that he may set his name there, and may dwell in that place.
Tedae BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ming a phuk tih khosak thil ham a coelh hmuen te mah nangmih koca boeih loh tlap uh lamtah paan uh.
6 And you shall offer, in that place, your holocausts and victims, the tithes and first-fruits of your hands, and your vows and gifts, the firstborn of the cattle and of the sheep.
Te lam te 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 khuen uh.
7 And you shall eat it there, in the sight of the Lord your God. And you shall rejoice in all the things to which you shall set your hand: you and your household, which the Lord your God has blessed for you.
BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah ca uh. BOEIPA na Pathen loh na yoe han then sak vanbangla namamih neh na imkhui kah na kut thuengnah boeih dongah na kohoe sakuh.
8 You shall not do there the things that we are doing here today: each one doing what seems good to himself.
Tihnin kah he rhoek ah mamih boeih loh n'saii uh bangla saii uh boeh. Hlang he amah mikhmuh ah boeih thuem ta.
9 For even until the present time, you did not arrive at the rest and the possession, which the Lord your God will give to you.
Duemnah neh BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah m'paek rho khuiah na kun uh pawt ve.
10 You shall cross over the Jordan, and you shall live in the land which the Lord your God will give to you, so that you may have rest from all the surrounding enemies, and so that you may live without any fear,
Jordan na poeng uh tih BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih m'pang sak khohmuen la na om uh vaengah a kaepvai kah na thunkha cungkuem taeng lamloh nangmih n'duem sak vetih ngaikhuek la kho na sak uh bitni.
11 in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be in it. To that place, you shall bring all the things that I instruct you: holocausts, and victims, and tithes, and the first-fruits of your hands, and whatever is best among the gifts that you shall vow to the Lord.
Tedae BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ming om sak ham amah taengah a coelh hmuen te om bitni. Teah tah kai loh nangmih kang uen vanbangla na hmueihhlutnah neh na hmueih khaw, parha pakhat neh na kut dongkah khocang khaw, BOEIPA taengah na caeng, olcaeng piyawn boeih khaw boeih khuen uh.
12 In that place, you shall feast before the Lord your God: you, and your sons and daughters, your men and women servants, as well as the Levite who dwells in your cities. For he has no other portion or possession among you.
Te vaengah namamih neh na canu na capa rhoek khaw, na salpa neh na salnu rhoek khaw, nangmih bangla khoyo neh rho om pawt tih na vongka khuiah aka om Levi rhoek khaw BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah na kohoe sakuh.
13 Take care that you do not offer your holocausts in any place that you see.
Namah te ngaithuen, na hmuh bangla hmuen cungkuem ah na hmueihhlutnah na tloeng ve.
14 Instead, you shall offer sacrifices in the place which the Lord will choose within one of your tribes, and you shall do whatsoever I instruct you.
Namah koca pakhat khuiah BOEIPA kah a coelh hmuen bueng ah ni na hmueihhlutnah te na nawn vetih kang uen bangla boeih na saii eh.
15 So, if you wish to eat, and if the eating of flesh pleases you, then kill and eat according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which he has given to you, in your cities: you may eat it whether it is unclean, that is, having blemish or defect, or whether it is clean, that is, whole and without blemish, of the kind which is permitted to be offered, such as the roe deer and the stag.
Tedae na hinglu loh a hue boeih te ngawn lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek yoethennah maeh la ca. Na vongka khuikah boeih te tah rhalawt neh a cuem khaw rhangrhaeh bangla, kirhang bangla ca saeh.
16 Only the blood you shall not eat. Instead, you shall pour it upon the ground like water.
Tedae thii te tah ca boeh. Diklai dongah tui bangla hawk.
17 You may not eat in your towns the tithes of your crops, and your wine and oil, the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, nor anything which you will vow, or which you will offer spontaneously, nor the first-fruits of your hands.
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 ah na caak ham coeng pawh.
18 But you shall eat these before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord your God will choose: you, and your son, and your daughter, and your man servant and woman servant, and the Levite who dwells in your cities. And you shall rejoice and be refreshed in the sight of the Lord your God by all the things to which you will extend your hand.
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 ca uh. Tekah a hmuen te tah BOEIPA na Pathen amah long ni a tuek. Te dongah na kut thuengnah boeih nen khaw BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah na kohoe sakuh.
19 Be careful, lest you abandon the Levite, at any time while you are living in the land.
Namah te ngaithuen. na khohmuen kah na hing tue khuiah Levi rhoek te na hnoo ve ne.
20 When the Lord your God will have enlarged your borders, just as he has spoken to you, and when you would eat the flesh that your soul desires,
Nang taengkah a thui vanbangla BOEIPA na Pathen loh na khorhi hang aeh vaengah na hinglu loh maeh caak hamla a nai tih, “Maeh ka caak lah sue,” na ti oeh atah na hinglu loh a hue mebang maeh khaw na caak thai.
21 but if the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be there, is far away, you may kill, from your herds and your flocks which you will have, in the manner I have instructed to you, and you may eat in your towns, as it pleases you.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah ming phuk thil ham a coelh hmuen te nang lamloh hlavak oeh tih, BOEIPA loh nang m'paek saelhung neh boiva ni na ngawn atah, kang uen vanbangla na hinglu loh a hue bangla namah vongka ah khaw ca mai.
22 Just as the roe deer and the stag may be eaten, so also may you eat these: you may eat both the clean and the unclean alike.
Rhangrhaeh neh kirhang na caak bangla ca saeh lamtah rhalawt akhaw a cuem akhaw rhenten ca saeh.
23 Only beware of this: you may not eat the blood. For their blood is for the soul. And because of this, you must not eat the soul with the flesh.
Tedae a thii tah hinglu la a om dongah thii te caak pawt ham tuem uh. A hinglu te maeh neh hmaih ca boeh.
24 Instead, you shall pour it upon the ground like water,
Te te ca boel lamtah diklai dongah tui bangla hawk.
25 so that it may be well with you, and with your sons after you, when you will do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
Na caak pawt daengah ni BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem la a saii vetih namah neh namah hnukkah na ca rhoek loh khophoeng a pha eh.
26 But the things that you have sanctified and vowed to the Lord, you shall take up and bring to the place which the Lord will choose.
Tedae namah taengkah aka om hnocim neh na olcaeng tah khuen lamtah BOEIPA kah a coelh hmuen te mah paan puei.
27 And you shall offer your oblations of flesh and of blood upon the altar of the Lord your God. You shall poor out the blood of your victims upon the altar. And you yourself shall eat the flesh.
Na hmueihhlutnah maeh neh thii te BOEIPA na Pathen kah hmueihtuk soah nawn. Tedae na hmueih thii te BOEIPA na Pathen kah hmueihtuk dongah hawk lamtah a saa tah ca mai.
28 Observe and heed all the things that I instruct to you, so that it may be well with you, and with your sons after you, continually, when you will do what is good and pleasing in the sight of the Lord your God.
Kai loh nang kang uen olka boeih he ngaithuen lamtah hnatun. Te daengah ni BOEIPA na Pathen kah mikhmuh ah a thuem neh a 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 will have abolished before your face the nations, which you shall enter so as to possess them, and when you will possess them and live in their land,
Namtom haek ham na paan vaengah BOEIPA na Pathen loh na mikhmuh lamkah a tulnoi coeng. Te dongah ni amih te na haek tih a khohmuen ah kho na sak.
30 be careful that you do not imitate them, after they have been overturned at your arrival, and that you do not seek their ceremonies, saying: ‘Just as these nations have worshipped their gods, so also will I worship.’
Namah te ngaithuen, na mikhmuh lamkah amih a mitmoeng sak phoeiah amih hnukah n'hlaeh ve. Te dongah, “Namtom rhoek loh 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 shall not act in like manner toward the Lord your God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations that the Lord spurns, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
BOEIPA kah a tueilaehkoi boeih te tah BOEIPA na Pathen taengah saii boeh. A pathen taengah hmai neh a canu a capa a hoeh uh tih a pathen ham a saii uh te a hmuhuet.
32 What I command to you, this only shall you do, for the Lord. You may neither add nor subtract anything.”
Kai loh nang kang uen olka boeih he na saii tih na thap pawt ham neh na yueh pawt hamla ngaithuen.
