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].
Te hae kahhe Moab kho ah Israel ca rhoek neh moi a boh vaengah tahae kah olka he BOEIPA loh Moses a uen tih Horeb ah khaw amih taengah moi a boh thil bal.
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.
Te vaengah Israel pum te Moses loh a hueh tih, “BOEIPA loh na mikhmuh ah Egypt kho kah Pharaoh neh a sal rhoek boeih, a diklai boeih a saii te boeih na hmuh uh.
3 You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
Noemcainah a len len neh kopoekrhai a len len te na mik loh miknoek la a hmuh coeng.
4 But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
Tedae ming thai ham lungbuei, hmuh thainah ham mik, yaak thainah ham nah hna khaw tihnin duela BOEIPA loh nangmih m'pae pawt nim?
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.
Nangmih te khosoek ah kum likip kam mawt tih na pum dongkah na himbai loh hmawn pawh. Na kho dongkah na khokhom khaw hmawn pawh.
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.
Buh na ca uh pawt tih misurtui neh yu na ok uh pawt daengah kai he BOEIPA na Pathen la nan ming uh.
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.
Hekah hmuen na pha uh vaengah caemtloek neh mamih doe hamla Heshbon manghai Sihon neh Bashan manghai Oga ha pawk tih amih rhoi te n'tloek uh.
8 We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Amih khohmuen te n'loh uh tih Reuben koca, Gad koca neh Manasseh koca hlangvang taengah rho la m'paek uh.
9 “So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
Te dongah paipi ol he ngaithuen uh lamtah vai uh. Te daengah ni na saii boeih te na cangbam uh thai eh.
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,
Tihnin ah nangmih na Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh kah aka pai nangmih boeih khaw, na boeilu rhoek khaw, namah koca rhoek khaw, nangmih a hamca rhoek neh Israel hlang khaw,
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 yuu na ca neh na rhaehhmuen khuiah na thing aka top tih na tui aka than yinlai khaw,
12 [We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
BOEIPA na Pathen kah paipi neh tihnin ah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah a saii a olcaeng khuila kun puei laeh.
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.
Tihnin ah nang te amah kah pilnam la pai sak vetih namah taeng neh na pa rhoek Abraham, Isaak, Jakob taengkah a toemngam tih a thui vanbangla na Pathen la ha om ni.
14 This agreement is not only with you.
Tahae kah paipi neh olcaeng he namah neh namah loh na saii pawt tih kamah long ni ka saii.
15 He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
Tihnin kah BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh kah aka pai mamih taengah aka om neh tihnin kah mamih taengah aka om pawt rhoek taengah khaw a saii.
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].
Egypt kho ah metla ng'om tih namtom lakli ah na caeh uh vaengah metla na caeh uh khaw namamih loh na ming uh.
17 In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
Amih taengkah a sarhingkoi la thingngo, lungto, sui neh ngun mueirhol te na hmuh uh.
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].
Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taeng lamloh a thinko aka maelh tih namtom pathen taengah thothueng hamla aka cet huta, tongpa khaw, huiko neh, pilnam koca he tihnin kah nangmih khuiah om ve. Anrhat neh pantong yung aka pungtai loh nangmih taengah om ve.
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].
Te dongah tahae kah thaephoei ol a yaak vaengah a thinko khuiah yoethen pae uh vetih, “Ka lungbuei thinthahnah ah ka pongpa daengah ni khosul tuihalh neh ka khoengvoep vetih kai ham ngaimongnah a om eh?,” ti ve.
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].
BOEIPA loh anih te khodawkngai ham a ngaih moenih. BOEIPA kah thintoek neh amah hlang taengkah a thatlainah tah khuu yoeyah ni. Te dongah he cabu dongkah a daek thaephoeinah boeih he anih soah kol ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh anih ming te vaan hmui lamloh a phae ni.
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.
Te dongah tahae kah olkhueng cabu khuiah a daek thaephoeinah paipi cungkuem van bangla Israel koca boeih khui kah khaw BOEIPA loh yoethaenah la a boe ni.
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.
Te vaengah nangmih hnuk lamkah aka thoo na ca rhoek, lamhnuk kah cadilcahma neh kho hla lamkah aka pai kholong long khaw thui saeh. He khohmuen kah hmasoe neh BOEIPA loh anih soah a tloh sak a tlohtat te hmu uh saeh.
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].
Kat neh lungkaeh khohmuen ungkhang boeih he tawn uh pawt vetih baelhing loh pakhat khaw a daih mueh la poe mahpawh. Sodom neh Gomorrah imrhong bangla Admah neh Zeboiim khaw BOEIPA loh amah kah kosi thintoek neh a palet ni.
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]?’
Te vaengah namtom rhoek loh balae tih khohmuen he BOEIPA loh thintoek thinling neh boeih a saii aih,” a ti uh ni.
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.
Tedae, “Egypt kho lamkah amih hang khuen vaengah a napa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen loh amih neh a saii paipi te a hnoo uh dongah ni te,” a ti uh ni.
26 Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
Cet uh tih pathen tloe taengah tho a thueng uh dongah amih taengah bakop uh. Te pathen rhoek loh amih te ming uh pawt tih amih ham boe a soep moenih.
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.
Te dongah cabu dongkah a daek rhunkhuennah boeih he khuen thil ham BOEIPA kah thintoek tah khohmuen taengah sai coeng.
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.’
BOEIPA loh amih te khohmuen khui lamkah thintoek kosi thinhul bat la a phuk vetih kho tloe ah tihnin kah bangla a voeih ni.
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.”
Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah thuh cakhaw kumhal duela vai ham olkhueng ol boeih he mamih taeng neh mamih kah n'ca rhoek taengah ha phoe coeng.
