Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
Hae ih loknawk loe Horeb ah Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk hoi sak ih lokmaihaih pacoengah, Moab prae ah Mosi mah Israel kaminawk hoi lokmaihaih sak hanah, Angraeng mah paek ih lok ah oh.
2 Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
Mosi mah Israel kaminawk to kawk boih moe, nihcae khaeah, Izip prae ah Angraeng mah Faro khaeah sak ih hmuen, a tamnanawk boih hmaa ah sak ih hmuen hoi prae pum ah sak ih hmuennawk loe,
3 You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
nangmacae ih mik hoi roe ah kalen parai tanoekhaih hmuennawk, angmathaih hoi kalen parai dawnraihaih hmuennawk to na hnuk o boeh;
4 But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
toe vaihni khoek to Angraeng mah panoek thaihaih palungthin, hnukhaih mik hoi thaikophaih naanawk to na paek o ai vop, tiah a naa.
5 For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
Saning qui palito thung praezaek ah kang zaeh o naah, na khukbuennawk to prawn ai moe, na khokpanainawk doeh prawn ai.
6 You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
Kai loe na Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah na panoek o thai hanah, takaw na caa o ai, misurtui maw, to tih ai boeh loe mu doeh na nae o ai.
7 “And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
Hae ahmuen ah na phak o naah, Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon hoi Bashan siangpahrang Og loe aicae tuk hanah angzoh hoi; toe nihcae to a pazawk o.
8 We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Nihcae ih prae to a lak pae o moe, Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manaseh acaeng ah kaom kaminawk khaeah qawk ah a paek o.
9 “So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
Na sak ih hmuen ah hmacawn boih hanah, hae lokmaihaih hae pazui oh loe sah oh.
10 Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
Nangcae acaeng zaehoikungnawk, kacoehtanawk, ukkungnawk hoi Israel nongpanawk boih,
11 your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
na caa nawktanawk, na zunawk hoi na tai o haih ahmuen ah kaom, nangcae ih thing aek kami hoi tui doh kaminawk boih, vaihni na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah nang doet o;
12 [We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
na Angraeng Sithaw mah vaihniah, nangcae hoi nawnto sak ih, Angraeng Sithaw lokkamhaih thungah na kun o hanah,
13 [He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
angmah ih kami ah nangcae to suek moe, nam panawk ah kaom Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob khaeah, a thuih ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah, anih loe nangcae ih Sithaw ah om tih.
14 This agreement is not only with you.
Hae lokkamhaih hoi lokmaihaih loe nangcae hoi khue ah ka sah ai,
15 He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
vaihniah aicae Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah aicae hoi nawnto angdoe kaminawk khue hoiah lokkamhaih to ka sah ai, vaihniah aicae hoi nawnto kaom ai kaminawk hoiah doeh ka sak.
16 “You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
(Izip prae thungah kawbang maw na oh o moe, hae ahmuen ah nang zoh o naah kawbang maw prae na poeng o, tito na panoek o;
17 In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
nihcae khae kaom panuet kathok, thing, thlung, sui hoi sum kanglung hoiah sak ih krangnawk to na hnuk o boeh: )
18 So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
nangcae khae kaom nongpa, nongpata, imthung takoh, to tih ai boeh loe acaeng thung ih kami loe, vaihniah aicae Angraeng Sithaw khae hoiah poekhaih palungthin amkhraeng o ving moe, haeah kaom prae kaminawk ih sithawnawk to bok o moeng han ai ah acoe oh; to tih ai nahaeloe nangcae salakah ahmuet baktiah kakhaa thingthai hoi tangzun kakhaa tacawtsak thing to amprawk moeng tih.
19 “Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
To baktih kami mah hae tangoenghaih loknawk hae thaih naah, Tui anghaehhaih nuiah mu paquihaih thap aep hanah, palung thung hoi poek ih baktiah ka caeh langlacadoeh, misa monghaih ka tawn tih, tiah angmah ih palung thung hoiah angmah hoi angmah to tahamhoihaih angpaek tih.
20 Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
Angraeng mah to kami to pathlung mak ai; Angraeng palungphuihaih hoi uthaih loe to kami nuiah hmai baktiah kangh ueloe, hae cabu thungah tarik ih tangoenghaih anih nuiah krahsak boih tih; to pacoengah, Angraeng mah anih ih ahmin to van tlim hoiah phrae ving tih.
21 From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
Hae kaalok cabu thungah tarik ih lokmaihaih hoi tangoeng ih loknawk baktih toengah, anih nuiah sethaih phaksak hanah, Angraeng mah anih to Israel acaengnawk boih thung hoiah tapraek ving tih.
22 “In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
Nangcae hnukah kaom na caanawk hoi prae kangthla hoiah angzo angvinnawk mah, to prae nuiah Angraeng mah phaksak ih patangkhanghaih hoi nathaihnawk to hnuk o naah,
23 They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
kaat hmai mah kangh ih paloi baktiah prae thungah om boih ueloe, aanmu to patii thai mak ai, tidoeh amprawk mak ai; kawbaktih qam doeh amprawk mak ai; Angraeng mah kanung parai palungphuihaih hoiah vah phaeng ih, Sodom hoi Gomorrah, Admah hoi Zeboim baktiah oh ving boeh, tiah thui o tih;
24 And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
prae kaminawk boih mah, Tipongah Angraeng mah hae prae hae to tiah sak moe, kanung parai hae palungphuihaih to ohsak loe? tiah thui o tih.
25 “Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
To naah kaminawk mah, Hae kaminawk loe Izip prae thung hoi nihcae zaehhoikung, ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah nihcae hoiah sak ih lokmaihaih to pahnawt pae o ving,
26 Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
nihcae mah panoek o vai ai, nihcae han paek doeh paek ai ih kalah sithawnawk to a bok o moe, a tok to sak pae o pongah,
27 So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
Angraeng palungphuihaih mah hae prae hae hmai baktiah kangh moe, hae cabu thungah tarik ih tangoenghaih to nihcae nuiah phaksak boih;
28 Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
hmai baktih kamngaeh, kalen parai Angraeng palungphuihaih hoi palungbethaih mah, nihcae to angmacae prae thung hoiah aphongh moe, vaihni ni khoek to nihcae to prae kalah ah vah ving boeh, tiah thui o tih.
29 “[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
Kamtueng ai tamquta ah kaom hmuennawk loe aicae Angraeng Sithaw ih hmuen ah oh; toe hae kaaloknawk hae a pazui o boih thai hanah, kamtueng hmuennawk loe, dungzan khoek to aicae hoi aicae ih caanawk hanah oh.
