Deuteronomy 4
1 And now, O Israel, hearken unto the statutes and unto the ordinances which I teach you to do; in order that ye may live, and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, giveth unto you.
Oe Isarelnaw nangmouh ni na hring awh teh, mintoenaw ni a bawk e BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram na coe thai awh nahan, na sak awh hane kai ni na cangkhai e phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw thai awh haw.
2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, nor shall ye diminish aught from it; that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
Kai ni kâ na poe e lawknaw dawk, bout na thap awh mahoeh. Na rayu awh mahoeh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut e kâpoelawknaw hah na tarawi awh han.
3 Your own eyes have seen that which the Lord hath done because of Baal-peor; for every man that followed Baal-peor, him the Lord thy God hath destroyed from the midst of thee.
Cathut ni Baalpeor kecu a sak e hah nangmouh ni na mit hoi na hmu awh toe. Baalpeor kângue pueng nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh thung hoi be a raphoe toe.
4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God, are alive, every one of you, this day.
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut dawk kângue e pueng teh, sahnin ditouh na hring awh.
5 See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, just as the Lord my God commanded me; that ye may do so in the midst of the land whither ye go to take possession of it.
Nangmouh ni na cei awh vaiteh na coe hane ram dawk na sak awh hane kaie BAWIPA Cathut ni kâ na poe e patetlah, kai ni phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw na cangkhai awh toe.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the nations, that shall hear all these statutes, and they will say, Nothing but a wise and understanding people is this great nation.
Hatdawkvah, hotnaw hah tarawi awh. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, phunglawk ka thai e tami pueng e hmalah nangmae lungangnae hoi panuenae a kamnue han. Ahnimouh ni hete miphunpui teh, lungangnae hoi panuenae hoi ka kawi e miphun katang doeh telah ati awh han.
7 For what great nation is there that hath gods so nigh unto it, as is the Lord our God at all times that we call upon him.
Maimouh ni ratoum na pueng koe maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni na khet na yawt teh, na pahrennae coe e patetlah alouke cathut ni pahren e miphun apimouh kaawm boi.
8 And what great nation is there that hath statutes and ordinances so righteous as is all this law, which I lay before you this day?
Kai ni sahnin nangmouh koe ka ta e kâlawk patetlah, phunglawk hoi kalan lah lawkcengnae ka tawn e miphun kalen, apimouh kaawm.
9 Only take heed to thyself, and guard thy soul diligently, that thou do not forget the things which thy eyes have seen, and that they depart not from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known unto thy sons, and unto thy sons' sons;
Nangmouh ni Horeb mon van na Cathut hmalah, na kangdue awh navah na mit hoi na hmu awh e naw hah pahnim payon avai. Na hringyung thung na pâkuem thai awh nahan, namamouh kâhruetcuet awh. Kâyawm lahoi tarawi awh. Hotnaw hah na catounnaw hai cangkhai awh.
10 The day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God at Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Assemble for me the people, and I will cause them to hear my words, which they shall learn, to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and which they shall teach their children.
Hatnavah BAWIPA ni, taminaw kai koe kamkhueng sak haw. Ahnimouh ni talai van a hring na thung kai na taki thai awh nahan a catounnaw a cangkhai sak nahanelah ka lawk hah na thaisak han telah kai koe a dei e patetlah,
11 And ye came near and stood at the foot of the mount; and the mount was burning with fire unto the midst of the heaven, [from amidst] darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
Nangmouh ni rek na tho awh teh mon khok koe na kamkhueng awh. Hatnavah, monsom hmai a kak teh kalvan lungui teh duktamang, tâmai hoi akawi teh duk a kamthim.
12 And the Lord spoke unto you out of the midst of the fire; the sound of words ye heard, but any similitude ye saw not: there was nothing but a sound.
BAWIPA Cathut ni hmai thung hoi na pato, nangmouh ni a mei na hmawt laipalah lawk duengdoeh na thai awh.
13 And he told unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, the ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
Nangmouh ni na tarawi awh hane kâpoelawk 10 touh hah a dei teh, lungphen 2 touh dawk a thut.
14 And me the Lord commanded at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
Nangmouh ni na cei awh teh na coe awh hane ram dawk na sak awh hane nangmouh koe na cangkhai e phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw hai Cathut ni kai koe kâ na poe.
15 Take ye therefore good heed of your souls; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spoke unto you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
Horeb vah Cathut ni, hmai thung hoi nangmouh koe lawk a dei navah bang e meilam hai na hmu awh hoeh dawkvah,
16 That ye become not corrupt, and make yourselves a graven image, the similitude of any idol-figure, the likeness of a male or of a female,
Nangmouh ni tami napui tongpa mei
17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air of heaven,
Talai van kaawm e saring mei, kalvan kamleng e tava mei,
18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth;
Talai dawk vonpui hoi kâva e saring mei, talai thung tui dawk e tanga mei, hoi kâvan e kutsak hah, nangmouh ni bout na kamlang sin awh teh, namamouh han na sak hoeh nahanelah,
19 And that thou lift not up thy eyes unto the heavens, and thou see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be misled to bow down to them, and to serve them, those which the Lord thy God hath assigned unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Kalvan lah na khet teh, Kanî, Thapa, Âsinaw tie kalvan e hno pueng na hmu navah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni, kalvan rahim kaawm e tami pueng koe a poe e hote hnonaw hah, na bawk awh nahane alouke taminaw ni na pasawt thai awh hoeh nahanelah, namahoima kâhruetcuet awh.
20 But you did the Lord take, and he brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto you a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
Nangmouh teh sahnin e patetlah BAWIPA Cathut e râw ka coe e miphun lah na o sak nahan, nangmouh teh Izip ram sum thawngnae takhuen koehoi na tâcokhai awh toe.
21 Farthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and he swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy God giveth unto thee for an inheritance;
Hot dueng laipalah, nangmouh kecu dawk, kai koe Cathut a lungkhuek, Jordan tui namran lah rakat laipalah, na coe awh hane Cathut ni na poe e ram thung vah kâen hoeh nahanelah lawk a kam toe.
22 For I must die in this land; I shall not go over the Jordan; but ye will go over and take possession of this good land.
Hatdawkvah, hete ram dawk ka due han toe. Jordan tui ka rakat mahoeh nangmouh ni na raka awh vaiteh hote kahawipoung e ram na coe awh han.
23 Take heed unto yourselves, that ye do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and make yourselves a graven image, the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee.
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh koe na ta pouh e lawkkam na pahnim awh teh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni a cakâ e kutsak na sak awh hoeh nahan, namahoima kâhruetcuet awh.
24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire; yea, a watchful God.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut teh ka kang e hmai, dipma Cathut doeh.
25 When thou begettest children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and ye become corrupt, and make a graven image, the likeness of any thing, and do the evil in the eyes of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger:
Nangmouh ni na mincanaw na sak awh teh, hote ram dawk moikasawlah na o awh hnukkhu, koung na rawk awh teh buetbuet touh e mei hoi kâlat lah kutsak na sak awh teh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut a lung hoe na khuek sak awh pawiteh,
26 I call this day the heavens and the earth to witness against you, that ye shall soon perish from off the land whereunto ye go over the Jordan to possess it; ye shall not remain many days upon it, but ye shall surely be destroyed.
Jordan tui na raka awh teh na coe awh hane ram thung vah, a ro hoehnahlan na kahma awh han. Moikasawlah kho na sak awh laipalah, khoeroe na kahmakata awh han telah nangmae kong dawk na ka panuek khai e lah sahnin kalvan hoi talai ka palaw.
27 And the Lord will scatter you among the nations, and ye will be left few in number among the nations, whither the Lord will lead you.
Cathut ni hai nangmouh teh Jentelnaw koe alouklouk lah na kâkapek sak vaiteh, hrek lah kaawm e Jentelnaw koe youn touh na cawi awh han.
28 And ye will serve there gods, the work of man's hands, wood and stone, which neither can see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Hote hmuen dawk, tami kut hoi sak e, hmawt thai hoeh, thai thai hoeh, cat thai hoeh, a hmui ka thai thai hoeh e thing cathut, talung cathutnaw hah nangmouh ni na bawk awh han.
29 But thou wilt seek from there the Lord thy God, and wilt find him, if thou apply to him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Hateiteh, hote hmuen dawk nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah bout tawng han na ngai awh toteh, lungthin abuemlahoi na tawng awh pawiteh na hmu awh han.
30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things have overtaken thee, in the latter end of days: then wilt thou return to the Lord thy God, and be obedient unto his voice.
Nangmouh ni hmalae tueng dawk, rucatnae na khang awh toteh, hete hnonaw puenghoi na kâhmo awh navah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut koe lah bout na ban awh teh, lawk na tarawi awh pawiteh,
31 For a merciful God is the Lord thy God; he will not forsake thee, nor destroy thee; and he will not forget the covenant of thy fathers which he hath sworn unto them.
nangmae Cathut teh pahrennae ka tawn e lah ao dawkvah, nangmanaw na pahnawt awh mahoeh, na raphoe awh mahoeh, lawk a kam e pahnim mahoeh.
32 For do but ask of former days, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of the heavens unto the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been the like of this great thing, or whether the like of it hath been heard.
Cathut ni talai dawk tami sak kamtawng hoi nangmouh na o hoehnahlan kaloum tangcoung e atueng dawk e hnonaw pueng hah, kalvan apoutnae koehoi avanglah apoutnae koe totouh pacei awh. Hettelah e kalenpounge hno kaawm boi na ou. Het patetlah e hno kamthang thai boi awh na ou.
33 Hath ever a people heard the voice of a god, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and remained alive?
Cathut ni hmai thung hoi a dei e lawk nangmouh ni na thai awh e patetlah alouke miphun ni a thai teh hloutnae a coe awh boi na ou.
34 Or hath a god essayed to go to take himself a nation from the midst of a nation, by proofs, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, like all that which the Lord your God hath done for you in Egypt before thy eyes.
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni, Izip ram nangmae hmalah a sak e patetlah mitnout panuenae hoi, kângairu hnonaw a saknae, kâtuknae a phasaknae, thaonae kut dâwnae, taki ka tho e vision a sak e lahoi, alouke cathut ni a cei teh, miphun buet touh koehoi buet touh ama hanelah ouk a la boi ou.
35 Unto thee it was shown, that thou mightest know, that the Eternal is the God: there is none else besides him.
BAWIPA Cathut lah a onae hai thoseh, BAWIPA hoeh laipalah teh alouke cathut a ohoehnae hai thoseh, nangmouh na panue sak hanelah, hotnaw hah nangmouh koe a kamnue sak.
36 Out of the heavens he caused thee to hear his voice, to correct thee: and upon the earth he caused thee to see his great fire; and his words didst thou hear out of the midst of the fire.
Nangmouh na cangkhai awh teh, kalvan hoi lawk na thaisak toe. Talai van vah kalenpounge hmai hai na hmu sak teh, hmai thung hoi lawk hah na thai awh toe.
37 And therefore, because he loved thy fathers, he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his presence with his mighty power out of Egypt;
Nangmae mintoenaw ka pahren dawkvah, a catoun hah ka rawi toe.
38 To drive out nations greater and mightier than thou art, from before thee, to bring thee in, to give unto thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
Nangmouh hlak a tha a sai awh vaiteh, kapap poung e miphunnaw nangmae hmalah hoi ka pâlei teh, sahnin e boiboe lah, a ram dawk a phakhai vaiteh, râw coe sak hanelah, hnotithainae lahoi, Izip ram lahoi na hmalah a hrawi toe.
39 Know therefore this day, and reflect in thy heart, that the Eternal is the God in the heavens above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut teh lathueng lae kalvan hoi rahim lae talai van hai thoseh, Cathut lah ao teh, alouke cathut awm hoeh tie hah, sahnin panuek awh, na lung thung pâkuem awh.
40 And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee; and that thou mayest live many days upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for all times.
Nangmouh hoi na catounnaw ni khosak ahawi nahan, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawk, hringsaw nahan thoseh, sahnin kai ni lawk na thui awh e kâpoelawknaw hah, na tarawi awh han telah Mosi ni a dei.
41 Then Moses set aside three cities on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun;
Hatnavah, imri hah taran laipalah, ka thet payon e tami teh,
42 That thither might flee the manslayer, who should kill his neighbor unawares, when he had not been an enemy to him in times past; and that he should flee unto one of these cities and live.
a yawng vaiteh, a hring hlout nahanelah Jordan palang kanîtholah khopui 3 touh Mosi ni a ta pouh.
43 Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gil'ad for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for the Menassites.
Hete khopuinaw e min teh, Reuben miphun onae kahrawng, Bezer khopui, Gad miphun onae, Gilead ram dawk Ramoth khopui, Manasseh miphun onae Bashan ram Golan khopuinaw doeh.
44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
Hete kâlawk teh Mosi ni Isarelnaw koe a poe e lah ao.
45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,
Ahnimouh ni Izip ram hoi a tâco awh hnukkhu, Heshbon khopui kaawm e, Amor siangpahrang Sihon e ram thung, Jordan tui kanîtholah, Bethpeor khopui dawk kaawm e tanghling dawk Mosi ni a dei e phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw doeh.
46 On this side of the Jordan, in the valley opposite to Beth-peor, in the land of Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt;
Mosi hoi Isarelnaw teh Izip ram hoi a tâco awh hnukkhu hote siangpahrang hoi,
47 And they took possession of his land, and of the land of 'Og the king of Bashan, the two kings of the Emorites, who were on this side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun;
Bashan siangpahrang Og tie Jordan tui namran lah kanîtholah, kaawm e Amon siangpahrang 2 touh a thei teh,
48 From 'Aro'er, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Chermon,
Ahnimae ram hah Arnon tui teng kaawm e Aroer khopui, Hermon mon tie Zion mon totouh thoseh,
49 And all the plain on this side of the Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the declivities of Pisgah.
Jordan tui kanîtho hoi, kâkuen e talîpui teng, Arabah Pisgah totouh a lawp awh.
