< Deuteronomy 4 >
1 Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, gives you.
Tun, Israel miten danthu kahil jouseu phatah in ngaiyun, Pakai, Pathen in napu, napateu khanga pat napehnau gam nalhun thei nadiu le agama nachen thei nadiu ahi.
2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Kathupeh a kon in ngaisah louna ima neihih hel uvin. Pakai, Pathen akona ka thupeh chengse hi phatah a najui diu ahi.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal Peor; for all the men who followed Baal Peor, the LORD your God has destroyed them from the midst of you.
Baapeor muna Pakaiyin nangho dinga ichangeiya na atoh namusoh keiyun ahi. Hiche muna chun Pakai, Pathen in Baal doi hou jouse abonchan asugam sohkeiye.
4 But you who were faithful to the LORD your God are all alive this day.
Hinlah Pakai, Pathen tahsan a thua nung jouse, tuni chan in nabon chauvin nadam nalaiyun ahi.
5 Look, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land where you go in to possess it.
Vetan, Pakai, Pathen akona juiding dan hichengse hi nangho dinga thupeh ahi. Ajeh chu hichengse hi gamsung nalut teng uleh phatah a najui kimsoh kei diu ahi.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."
Hichengse hi najui uva ahileh, na kimvel uva cheng nam dangte sanga athem leh achinga naum diu ahi. Hitobang nunle khan ahin jahdoh teng uleh, hiche nam mite hi datmah umtah in aching lheh uve tia asei diu ahi!
7 For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as the LORD our God is whenever we call on him?
Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen ikom cha uva aum jing banga, eiho Pathen tobang nam dang ten anei khah ngai em?
8 What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Hitobanga chu keiman jong na masang uva ka koipeh danthu hijatpi hi, kicheh tah’a ka koipeh banguva koi dang nam in hitobang anei khah ngai em?
9 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children's children;
Ijeh inem itileh vetan! Nanghon namit tah uva namu chan uchu nahaimil lou diu ahi. Hiche hi na damsung uva nalung thim uva kona na jamdoh sah lou diu ahi! Natu na chate changeiya achin jing diu ahi.
10 the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, "Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children."
Chule Pakai, Pathen in Sinai mol chunga adin nikhoa ka henga thu asei chu na haimil lou diu ahi. Mipi ho abonchan ka henga hinpuiyin, keiman ijakai kahil diu ahi. Chutileh amahon keima gin ding dan ahet uva, atu acha khang gei uva jong keima eigin jing diu ahi.
11 You came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
Nangma mol chunga na keng in nahung ding in, Molchung vum jouse meibol in atom in chuin mu athim lhatan ahi.
12 The LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice.
Chuin Pakaiyin nangma henga thu aseiyin, meikong in akilah in, Ama awgin chu najan ahinlah tahmel in namupoi; ajeh chu awgin bou najah ahi.
13 He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tablets of stone.
Pakaiyin kitepna asem in, Thupeh som nanit jing diuvin thupeh aneiyin, songpheng ni chunga ajihdoh in ahi.
14 The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it.
Hiche muna chun Pakaiyin thupeh aneiyin, nangho gamsung nalut kon teng uleh danthu najui diuvin abonchan eihil in ahi.
15 Therefore watch yourselves carefully; for you saw no kind of form on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire.
Hijeh chun nangho ching theiyun! Sinai mol chunga Pakaiyin najah uva thu asei nikho chun, nanghon tahmel in namu pouve.
16 Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
Hijeh chun nanghon milim doi numei leh pasal lima semthu a-angsunga na bokhup uva na kisuhboh louhel diu,
17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,
gancha hihen chung leng vacha hijongleh,
18 the likeness of any crawling creature that crawls on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water below the land;
tol-lhang lah a ganhing hihen, twipi noiya um ganhing limsem thu kitiphot angsunga na bohkhup lou diu ahi.
19 and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.
Chunglang vea lha, ahsite chule vanthamjola thil ho jong bohkhup a akin bol ding na ngaito louhel diu ahi. Hichengse khu aboncha Pakai, Pathen in leiset a cheng mihemte apeh ahi.
20 But God has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.
Ajeh chu nangho hi Pakai, Pathen in Egypt gamsung meilhum lah’a kiloidoh a Pathen dei tum mong mong dinga tunia hi nasemu ahin, hichu nasuhmil lou diu ahi.
21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance:
Hinlah nangho jeh in Pakai ka henga alungphamo tan. Pakaiyin kitepna asem in keima Jordan vadung galkaiya, keima hiche gamsunga khu kalut thei lou ding ahitai.
22 but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that good land.
Keima khela hiche gamsung lodinga Jordan vadung nagal kai diu ahi. Keima vang hiche solam vadung pama hi thiden ding kahi tai.
23 Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.
Hijeh chun chingthei un Pakai, Pathen in kitepna napeh hou aboncha najui kimsoh kei diu ahi. Pathen doumah milim doi sem ding gohih un, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen dinga doumah umtah ahi.
24 For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
Pakai, Pathen hi meikong a kilahji ahin; thangtomna aneiji ahi.
25 When you shall father children, and children's children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engraved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD your God, to provoke him to anger;
Ahung lhung ding phat hoa, tu le cha nahin neiyuva gam sunga na hung chen teng uleh, milim doi kiti sema a-angsunga na bohkhup louhel diu ahi. Hitobang thil hi Pakai dinga thet umtah leh Pakai lunghan na ahi.
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
Tuna van leh leiset kasan hi nangho hettohsahna ding ahi. Ka kitepna na suhkeh uva ahileh, Jordan vadung galkaiya gamsunga na hetman lou uva na manthah jeng diu ahi. Hinkho chomcha bou nanei diu; hetman louva thinan na lhunden diu ahi.
27 The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where the LORD will drive you.
Ajeh chu nam dangte lah a Pakaiyin nathe cheh diu, lhom cha bouvin gamsung nalo diu ahi.
28 There you shall serve other gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Hiche muna chu, gamdang mite lah a milim doi song le thinga kisem thu, ima jathei lou, muthei lou ho kin nabol diu ahi.
29 But from there you shall seek the LORD your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Chuteng Pakai, Pathen nahin hol kit diu, nalung thim pumpiuva nahin hol teng uleh namu bep diu ahi.
30 When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to the LORD your God, and listen to his voice:
Ahung lhung ding phat hoa, hitobang din muna naum uva gim genthei nan nalhun den teng uleh, Pakai, Pathen angsung nahin bel diu, Pakai thusei jouse nangai diu ahi.
31 for the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
Ajeh chu na Pakaiyu, Pathen uhi ngailutna a dim jeng ahin; na lung na heija Pakai lam nahin bel teng aman na damsah ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, napu napateu khang apat akitepna ageldoh jing in ahi.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created humankind on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
Tun leiset ahung kisem apat tuchana Pathen in ichangeiya mihemte akhohsah ham, ti thusimle vanthamjola ijakai jouse kholdoh uvin. Hitobang thil ki dang hohi najah a namu khah uvem?
33 Did a people ever hear the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
Nanghon meikonga Pathen akilah a, awgin najah bang uva nam dang ten hitobang thil kidang atokhah tah uvem?
34 Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Pathen dang in nampi khat gim hesoh na a kon apui doh a, thil kidang ijakai aki lahsah gal asat peh, ban thahat pana kithopina, ki dang tah a na-atohna um kha tam? Ahinlah nangho Pakai, Pathen in Egypt gam naum lai uva anatoh ijakai na musoh kei tauvin ahi.
35 It was shown to you so that you might know that the LORD is God. There is no one else besides him.
Pakaiyin ijakai na muchen sah tauve, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen tobang dang umlou ahi.
36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and on earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
Pakaiyin vana kon in awgin na jahsah uvin, thupeh ijakai aneiyin ahi. Pakai meikonga akilah in nang ho nahou piu vin ahi.
37 Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their descendants after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin napu napateu angailun chule a chilhahte changei phatthei aboh ahi. Pakaiyin abanthahat apan in, Egypt gam'a kona nahin pui galkaiyu ahitai.
38 to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day.
Nangho ding in namdangte gamlha tah in achon doh in, Pakaiyin nangho chenna ding gamnom tah na peuvin, tunin na cheng tauvin ahi.
39 Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.
Hijeh achu hiche hi na geldoh jing diu leh na lungthim uva na chin jing diu ahi: Pakai, Pathen hi vana jong leiset a jong Pathen ahin, Pathen dang ama tobang aumpoi.
40 You shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD your God gives you, forever.
Tunia ka thupeh chengse aboncha na juikim soh keiyuva ahileh, ijakai phacham kimsoh kei ding nachateu changeiya phatthei chang diu ahi. Imatih chana gam sunga kipah leh lungmonga nachen diu, na hinkhou asotna dinga Keiman thupeh hichengse aboncha kapeh nahiuve.
41 Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
Chuin Mose’n khopi thum solam Jordan vadunga kichol nading in atung doh in ahi.
42 that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unawares, and did not hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
Koi tobang'in mihem khat alam louva atha a, suhna ding beiya auma ahileh, ama chu hiche muna hi jamlut ding ahinkho aki huhdoh ding ahi.
43 Bezer in the wilderness, on the plateau, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
Khopi thum hochu: Bezer kiti gamthip lah a hichu Reuben in sunga ding; Ramoth kiti Gilead muna hichu Gad in sunga ding; Golan kiti Bashan muna hichu Manasseh insunga ding ahi.
44 This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
Thupeh hichengse hi Mose’n Israel mite henga aseipeh ahi.
45 these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,
Hichengse hi danthu jui ding’a Mose’n Israel miten Egypt gam adalhah uva apeh,
46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck, when they came forth out of Egypt.
Beth-peor toh kinai solam Jordan vadung phaicham ngahmun aum laiyuva apeh ahi. Phat masa chun hiche gam hi Amor mite lengpa Sihon in Hesbon muna kona ana vaipoh ahi. Hinlah Egypt gam'a kona Mose leh Israel mite ahung doh uchun ana sugam hel tauvin ahi.
47 They took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
Chuin Israel miten Bashan lengpa Og lalna gam leh anei agou jouse achom chai keiyuvin, solama Amor mite leng teni jaona ahi.
48 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, even to Mount Sion (that is, Hermon),
Israel miten Aroer apat Arnon Gorge chule Sirion mol Hermon tiajong kihe changeiyin ajousoh hel tauve.
49 and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
Chuin amahon solam gamkai Jordan vadung pang leh, lhanglam San dung changeiyin ajousoh uvin, Pisgah noilam changei ahi.
