Deuteronomy 11
1 “[Because of all that] Yahweh your God [has done for you], you must love him and continually obey all his rules and regulations and commandments.
Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen te lungnah lamtah a kueknah khaw, a khosing neh a laitloeknah khaw, a olpaek khaw hnin takuem ah ngaithuen.
2 It was you and your ancestors, not your children, whom he disciplined [by causing all of you to have/experience difficulties]. So, starting today, continue to think about how very great and very powerful he is [DOU, MTY].
Na ca rhoek loh a ming pawt te khaw tihnin ah ming laeh. BOEIPA na Pathen kah thuituennah, a boeilennah tlungluen kut neh a ban a phuel te khaw,
3 Think about the various miracles [DOU] that he performed in Egypt. Think about what he did to the king of Egypt and to his country.
Egypt khui kah Egypt manghai Pharaoh neh kho tom ah a saii miknoek neh a bibi khaw,
4 Think about what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their chariots. Think about how he caused the Red Sea to flood/cover over them while they were pursuing your ancestors, and how the army of Egypt was completely (wiped out/destroyed).
Egypt caem khaw, a marhang neh a leng a saii pah te khaw, nangmih hnuk han hloem vaengah carhaek li kah tui loh a mikhmuh ah a et tih BOEIPA loh tihnin duela a milh sak he khaw,
5 Think about what Yahweh did for your ancestors in the desert before you arrived at this place.
Khosoek lamkah he hmuen na pha duela nangmih ham a saii te khaw,
6 Think about what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the two sons of Eliab from the tribe of Reuben. While all of your ancestors were watching, the earth split open, and they fell into the opening [and disappeared], along with their families and their tents, their servants, and their animals.
Reuben koca khuikah Eliab ca rhoi Dathan neh Abiram ham a saii vaengah diklai loh a ka a ang tih amah rhoi neh a imkhui, a dap neh Israel kotak boeih lamkah a kho dongah mulhing boeih a dolh te khaw amih loh hmu uh pawt tih a ming uh pai moenih.
7 You [SYN] and your ancestors have seen all these miracles that Yahweh performed.
Tedae BOEIPA kah bibi a len la a saii boeih te na mik neh naka hmu nang tah,
8 So, obey all the commandments that I am giving you today, in order that you will be strong and able to cross the river and occupy the land that you are about to enter,
tihnin ah kai loh nang kang uen olpaek boeih he ngaithuen. Te daengah ni na pang ham khohmuen aka paan nang long kawh thahlue la na pha vetih na pang eh.
9 and in order that you will live for a long time in that land, the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give to them and to their descendants, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh na pa rhoek neh amih kah tiingan taengah paek ham a caeng tangtae khohmuen, suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen ah na hinglung a vang eh.
10 The land that you are about to enter and occupy is not like the land of Egypt, where your ancestors lived. In Egypt, after they planted seeds, it was necessary for them to work hard [MTY] to water [the plants that grew].
Khohmuen te pang hamla pahoi na kun coeng. Te tah ke lamkah na lo nah Egypt khohmuen bang moenih. Te ah tah na cangti te na tuh uh tih an dum bangla na kho neh na suep dae ta.
11 But the land that you are about to enter is a land where there are many hills and valleys, where there is plenty of rain.
Tedae na paan phai tih na pang ham khohmuen long tah tlang neh kolbawn khohmuen la om tih vaan kah khotlan tui ni a. ok.
12 Yahweh takes care of that land. He [SYN] watches over it every day, from the beginning of each year to the end of each year.
Tekah khohmuen tah BOEIPA na Pathen loh a khut tih kum a tong lamloh khohmai kum duela BOEIPA na Pathen mik loh a dan taitu.
13 Today I am commanding you to love Yahweh our God and to serve him with your entire inner beings. If you do that,
Tihnin ah kai loh nang kang uen ka olpaek he na ngai rhoe la na ngai atah BOEIPA na Pathen na lungnah vetih na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih neh amah taengah tho na thueng ham om.
14 each year he will send rain on your land at the (right times/times when it is needed), (in the autumn/at the end of the dry season) and (in the spring/before the next dry season starts). As a result, you will have grain and [grapes to make] wine and [olives to make olive] oil.
Amah tue vaengah rhotui neh tlankhol te na khohmuen kah khotlan la kam paek vetih na cangpai, na misur thai neh na situi khaw na khoem van ni.
15 And he will cause grass to grow in your fields for your livestock [to eat]. You will have all the food that you want.
Na rhamsa ham khaw na khohmuen kah baelhing kam paek vaengah na caak vetih na hah bal bitni.
16 “But I warn you, do not turn away from Yahweh our God and start to worship other gods,
Namamih mah ngaithuen uh. Na thinko han hloih tih na taengphael koinih pathen tloe taengah tho na thueng vetih amih taengah na bakop tarha ve.
17 because if you do that, Yahweh will become very angry with you. He will prevent any rain from falling. As a result, the crops will not grow, and you will soon die [from hunger] in the good land that Yahweh is about to give to you.
BOEIPA kah thintoek loh nang taengah ha sai vetih vaan ke hang khaih ni. Khotlan om pawt tih diklai loh a cangthaih m'pae pawt vaengah ngawn tah BOEIPA loh nang m'paek khohmuen then lamloh pahoi na milh uh ni.
18 So, keep thinking [IDM] about these commands. Write them [on tiny scrolls] and fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
Ka olthui he na thinko neh na hinglu dongah dueh lah. Na kut dongah miknoek bangla hlin lamtah na mik laklo ah samtoelrhui la om saeh.
19 Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down at night and when you are getting up in the morning.
Na ca rhoek te tukkil lamtah na im kah na ngol vaengah khaw, longpueng kah na caeh vaengah khaw, na yalh tih na thoh vaengah khaw thui pah.
20 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
Na im kah rhungsut neh na vongka dongah khaw daek lah.
21 Do that in order that you and your children will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them. That land will belong to you [and your descendants] as long as there is a sky above the earth.
Te daengah ni na pa rhoek taengah paek hamla BOEIPA loh a caeng khohmuen ah khaw namah kah hinglung neh na ca rhoek kah a hinglung loh a vang vetih vaan hinglung bangla diklai ah khaw a om eh.
22 “Faithfully continue to obey what I am commanding you to do—to love Yahweh our God, and to conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him.
BOEIPA na Pathen na lungnah ham neh a longpuei cungkuem dongah na pongpa tih amah taengah na hangdang ham atah kai loh kang uen olpaek he boeih na vai thai hamla na ngaithuen rhoe na ngaithuen ham om.
23 If you do that, Yahweh will expel all the people-groups in that land as you advance, people-groups that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
Te daengah ni namtom rhoek boeih te BOEIPA loh na mikhmuh lamkah a haek vetih nangmih lakah aka len tih aka tlung namtom te na huul uh eh.
24 All the ground [in that land] on which you walk will be yours. Your territory will extend from the desert [in the south] to the Lebanon [Mountains in the north], and from the Euphrates River [in the east] to the [Mediterranean] Sea in the west.
Na khopha loh a cawt hmuen boeih tah khosoek lamloh Lebanon duela nangmih ham om vetih, na khorhi loh tuiva lamkah Perath tuiva neh tuitun khaepdan due om ni.
25 Yahweh our God will cause all the people in that land to be afraid of you, which is what he promised, with the result that no people-group will be able to stop you.
Hlang pakhat khaw nangmih hmai ah pai thai mahpawh. Nangmih taengah a thui vanbangla diklai hman boeih ah mela na pawk uh cakhaw nangmih kah birhihnah neh nangmih kah mueipuelnah ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh hang khueh eh.
26 “Listen carefully: Today I am telling you [that Yahweh will either] bless [you or he will] curse you.
So lah, tihnin kah yoethennah neh rhunkhuennah he nangmih mikhmuh ah kai loh kan tloeng coeng.
27 If you obey the commandments of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, he will bless you.
Tihnin ah kai loh nangmih kang uen bangla BOEIPA na Pathen kah olpaek te na ngai atah yoethennah la om ni.
28 If you do not obey them, and if you turn away from him to worship other gods that you have never known about before, he will curse you.
BOEIPA na Pathen kah olpaek te na yaak uh mueh la tihnin ah kai loh nangmih kang uen longpuei lamkah na nong uh tih ming pawt pathen tloe kah a hnuk te na vai uh atah rhunkhuennah la om ni.
29 And when Yahweh brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy, [some of you must stand on top of] Gerizim Mountain and proclaim what will cause Yahweh to bless you, and [the others must stand on top of] Ebal Mountain and proclaim [what will cause Yahweh to] curse you.”
BOEIPA na Pathen loh khohmuen la n'khuen tih, pang hamla na kun vaengah yoethennah te Gerizim tlang ah, rhunkhuennah te Ebal tlang ah na khueh uh.
30 (Those two mountains are [RHQ] west of the Jordan [River], west of the Jordan Valley near the huge oak tree at Moreh [village] in the land where the Canaan people-group lives. They live close to the sacred trees near Gilgal.)
Te rhoi tah Gilgal imdan kolken kah Moreh thingnu kaepah kho aka sa Kanaan khohmuen, Kho tlak longpuei kah Jordan rhalvangan kah moenih a?
31 “You will soon cross the Jordan [River] to occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. When you enter that land and start to live there,
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih ham a khueh khohmuen te kun thil tih pang hamla Jordan aka kat nangmih long tah khohmuen te huul uh lamtah khosak thil uh ngawn.
32 be sure to obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
Tedae tihnin ah nangmih mikhmuh kah ka tloeng oltlueh neh laitloeknah he boeih vai ham mah ngaithuen uh.
