Deuteronomy 10
1 “Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this mountain.
To naah Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Hmaloe ih thlung kangphaek baktih, thlung kangphaek hnetto la ah loe, kai khaeah angzo tahang ah; thing hoiah thingkhong to sah ah.
2 I will write on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’
Na vah phaeng ih hmaloe ih thlung pong ih loknawk to kang tarik pae let han; to thlung kangphaek to thing hoiah sak ih thingkhong thungah suem ah, tiah ang naa.
3 “So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.
To pongah shittim thing hoiah thingkhong to ka sak moe, hmaloe ih baktih toengah thlung kangphaek hnetto ka lak; thlung kangphaek hnetto ban ah ka sin moe, mae nuiah ka dawh tahang.
4 There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,
Nam khueng o haih niah, hmai kangqong mae nui hoiah ang thuih o ih kaalok hato loe, hmaloe ah tarik ih baktih toengah, Angraeng mah to ih thlung kangphaek hnetto nuiah tarik let pacoengah kai khaeah ang paek.
5 and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”
Kang qoi moe, mae nui hoiah kang hum tathuk, to pacoengah thlung kangphaek hnetto to ka sak ih thingkhong thungah ka suek; Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, vaihi khoek to thingkhong thungah oh.
6 (Then, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.
Israel kaminawk loe Jaakan kaminawk ohhaih Beeroth hoiah Moserah ah caeh o; Aaron loe to ahmuen ah duek moe, aphum o; a capa Eleazar loe anih zuengah qaima ah oh.
7 From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.
To ahmuen hoiah Gudgodah ah a caeh o; Gudgodah hoiah caeh o moe, vapui tui pophaih Jotbath ah atai o.
8 At that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.
To nathuem ah Angraeng lokmaihaih thingkhong to aput hanah, Angraeng hmaa ah angdoet moe, anih ih tok to sak pacoengah, Angraeng hmin hoiah kaminawk tahamhoihaih paek hanah, Angraeng mah Levi acaengnawk to vaihni ni khoek to pahoe.
9 That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)
To pongah Levinawk loe angmacae nawkamyanawk salakah qawktoep han tawn o ai; nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae ih qawk loe Angraeng angmah to boeh ni.
10 “I stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.
Hmaloe ih baktih toengah, kai loe mae nuiah ni qui palito hoi qum qui palito thung ka oh; to naah doeh ka Angraeng mah ka lok ang tahngaih pae; Angraeng mah nangcae hum hanah koeh ai.
11 Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”
Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Hae kaminawk paek hanah, angthawk ah; ampanawk khaeah ka sak ih lokkamhaih prae thungah akun o moe toep o hanah, kaminawk hma ah caeh ah, tiah ang naa.
12 “Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],
Aw Israel kaminawk, vaihiah na Angraeng Sithaw zithaih ah maw, a caehhaih loklam pazuihaih ah maw, anih palunghaih ah maw, na hing o haih palungthin boih hoiah na Angraeng Sithaw ih toksakhaih ah maw,
13 and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
vaihniah khosak na hoih o thai hanah, kang paek o ih Angraeng ih kaalok hoi a zaehhoihaih daannawk pazuihaih khue ai ah loe, na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae khae hoi hnik ih kalah hmuen tih maw oh vop?
14 “Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.
Khenah, vannawk hoi kasang koek vannawk, long hoi a thungah kaom hmuennawk boih loe, Angraeng ih ni.
15 But [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.
Toe Angraeng mah nam panawk to palung pongah, vaihni ih baktih toengah nihcae ih caa ah kaom, nangcae hae prae kaminawk salak hoiah ang qoih o.
16 So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
To pongah nangcae loe palungthin tangyat hin to aat oh, palungthah o hmah.
17 Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept bribes.
Nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw loe sithawnawk ih Sithaw, angraengnawk ih Angraeng, kalen koek Sithaw, kami ih mikhmai khen ai, kami mah bokhaih ah paek ih hmuen talawk han koeh ai, thacak zit kathok Sithaw ah oh;
18 He makes sure that orphans and widows are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.
Anih loe naqah hoi lamhmainawk khenzawnkung ah oh moe, angvinnawk palungkung, caaknaek hoi khukbuennawk paekkung ah oh.
19 So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.
To pongah angvinnawk to palung oh; nangcae doeh Izip prae ah angvin ah ni na oh o toeng.
20 Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.
Na Angraeng Sithaw to zii oh loe, a tok to sah pae oh; anih to kacakah patawn oh loe, anih ih ahmin hoiah lokkamhaih to sah oh.
21 He is the one whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.
Anih loe nangcae pakoehaih hoi Sithaw ah oh; nangcae mikhnuk ah anih mah kalen parai, zit kathok hmuennawk to sak boeh.
22 When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”
Nam panawk loe Izip prae ah kami qui sarihto ni caeh o tathuk; toe vaihi loe na Angraeng Sithaw mah van ih cakaeh zetto pungsak boeh, tiah a naa.
