Deuteronomy 4
1 “Now, you Israeli people, obey all the rules and regulations [DOU] that I will teach you. If you do that, you will remain alive and you will enter and occupy/capture the land that Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped], is giving to 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 Do not add anything to what I command you, and do not take anything away from what I tell you. Obey all the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you.
Kathupeh a kon in ngaisah louna ima neihih hel uvin. Pakai, Pathen akona ka thupeh chengse hi phatah a najui diu ahi.
3 “You have seen what Yahweh did at Baal-Peor [Mountain]. He got rid of all the people who worshiped [the god] Baal there,
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 faithfully [continued to worship] Yahweh our God are still alive today.
Hinlah Pakai, Pathen tahsan a thua nung jouse, tuni chan in nabon chauvin nadam nalaiyun ahi.
5 “Note that I have taught you all the rules and regulations, just like Yahweh our God told me to do. He wants you to obey them [when you are living] in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
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 Obey them faithfully because, [if you do that], you will show the people of other nations that you are very wise. When they hear about all these laws, they will say, ‘The people of this great nation [of Israel] are certainly very wise [DOU]!’
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 Even if other nations are great, there is none [RHQ] of them that has a god who is as near to them as Yahweh our God is to us! Whenever we call out to him [to help us, he answers/helps us]
Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen ikom cha uva aum jing banga, eiho Pathen tobang nam dang ten anei khah ngai em?
8 And there is no [RHQ] other nation, even if it is a great nation, that has laws that are as just/fair as the laws that I am telling to you today.
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 “But be very careful! [DOU, IDM] Do not forget what you [SYN] have seen [God do]. Remember those things as long as you are alive. Tell them to your children and your grandchildren.
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 Tell them about the day that your ancestors stood in the presence of Yahweh our God at Sinai [Mountain], when he said to me, ‘Gather the people together, in order that they can hear what I say. I want them to learn to have an awesome respect for me as long as they are alive, and I want them to teach their children to do that also.’
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 [Tell them that] your ancestors came near the bottom of the mountain, while the mountain burned with a fire that went up to the sky, and the mountain was covered with dark clouds and black [smoke].
Nangma mol chunga na keng in nahung ding in, Molchung vum jouse meibol in atom in chuin mu athim lhatan ahi.
12 Then Yahweh spoke to your ancestors out of the middle of the fire. Your ancestors heard him speak, but they did not see him. They only heard his 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 And he declared to them his agreement. That agreement contained the Ten Commandments that he wants you to obey. He wrote those on two stone tablets.
Pakaiyin kitepna asem in, Thupeh som nanit jing diuvin thupeh aneiyin, songpheng ni chunga ajihdoh in ahi.
14 Yahweh commanded me to teach all the rules and regulations to you, in order that you would obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.”
Hiche muna chun Pakaiyin thupeh aneiyin, nangho gamsung nalut kon teng uleh danthu najui diuvin abonchan eihil in ahi.
15 “On the day that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors at Sinai [Mountain], he was invisible. So, be careful
Hijeh chun nangho ching theiyun! Sinai mol chunga Pakaiyin najah uva thu asei nikho chun, nanghon tahmel in namu pouve.
16 that you do not sin by making for yourselves any idol [of something that can be seen!] not make an idol that resembles any person, either a man or a woman,
Hijeh chun nanghon milim doi numei leh pasal lima semthu a-angsunga na bokhup uva na kisuhboh louhel diu,
17 or that resembles any animal or any bird
gancha hihen chung leng vacha hijongleh,
18 or any (reptile/creature that scurries across the ground) or any fish in the deep ocean.
tol-lhang lah a ganhing hihen, twipi noiya um ganhing limsem thu kitiphot angsunga na bohkhup lou diu ahi.
19 And be careful to not look up toward the sky and be tempted to worship anything that you see there—the sun or the moon or the stars. Yahweh our God has given those to [be a blessing to] all people everywhere, [but you must not worship them].
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 Yahweh has brought your ancestors out of Egypt, where [they were suffering as though] they were in a blazing furnace, in order that they would be people who belong to him, which is what you are today.
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 “But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [made me do]. He vowed that I would not cross the Jordan [River] to enter the good/fertile land that he is giving to you.
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 He said that I must die here in this land and never cross the Jordan [River]. But you will go across it, and you will occupy that 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 sure that you do not forget the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you. He commanded you to not make any kind of idol, because he has forbidden that.
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 [You must not do that] because Yahweh your God will destroy [anyone who worships idols, ] like [MET] a fire completely destroys things. He [wants people to worship only him, he] (cannot accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else.
Pakai, Pathen hi meikong a kilahji ahin; thangtomna aneiji ahi.
25 “When you have been in the land [of Canaan] for a long time and you have children and grandchildren, do not sin by making an idol that represents anything at all, because Yahweh says that is evil, and if you do that, you will cause him to become angry with you [and punish you].
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 Today I am requesting everyone who is in heaven and everyone who is on the earth [MTY] to watch what you are doing. [If you disobey what I am telling you], you will soon all die in the land that you will be crossing the Jordan [River] to occupy. You will not live very long there; Yahweh will completely get rid of many [HYP] of you.
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 And [the rest of you], Yahweh will force you to go and live among the people of many other nations. Only a few of you will (survive/remain alive) there.
Ajeh chu nam dangte lah a Pakaiyin nathe cheh diu, lhom cha bouvin gamsung nalo diu ahi.
28 When you are in those nations, you will worship gods that are made of wood and stone, gods made by humans, gods that cannot see anything or hear anything or eat anything or smell anything.
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 while you are there, if you will try to know Yahweh your God, and if you try with your entire inner being to know him, he will (answer/reveal himself to) you.
Chuteng Pakai, Pathen nahin hol kit diu, nalung thim pumpiuva nahin hol teng uleh namu bep diu ahi.
30 In the future, after you have been mistreated there and all those bad things happen to you, you will again worship only Yahweh and obey him.
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 Yahweh is a God who acts mercifully. [If you continue to obey him], he will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the agreement that he solemnly made with your ancestors.”
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 “Now think about the past, about the time before you were born, about all the time since God first created people here on the earth. You could search everywhere, in heaven and on the earth. (Has anything like this ever happened that is as great as [what Yahweh did for the Israeli people]?/Certainly nothing has ever happened that is as great [as what Yahweh did for the Israeli people].) [RHQ] (Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?/Certainly no one has ever heard of anything like this.) [RHQ]
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 (Has any group ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did?/Certainly no group has ever remained alive after they heard a god speak to them from the middle of a fire, like we did.) [RHQ]
Nanghon meikonga Pathen akilah a, awgin najah bang uva nam dang ten hitobang thil kidang atokhah tah uvem?
34 Certainly no other god has ever tried to take a [huge] group of people from one nation [to another location], like he did for us when he brought us out of Egypt. We saw Yahweh our God use great power [MTY, DOU] when he performed many kinds of [DOU] miracles, and sent plagues, and did many other very terrifying things in Egypt for us, [and rescued us when the army of Egypt tried to fight against us].
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 “Yahweh showed all these things to you, in order that you would know that only he is truly God, and that there is no other God.
Pakaiyin ijakai na muchen sah tauve, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen tobang dang umlou ahi.
36 He allowed your ancestors to hear him speak from heaven in order that he could discipline them. Here on the earth he allowed them to see his great fire [on Sinai Mountain], and he spoke to them from the middle 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 our ancestors, he chose you Israelis who are their descendants, and by his great power he brought your ancestors 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 [As they advanced], he expelled the people of nations that were greater and more powerful than they were, in order that he could allow them to capture their land and cause it to become yours, which is [what is happening] now.
Nangho ding in namdangte gamlha tah in achon doh in, Pakaiyin nangho chenna ding gamnom tah na peuvin, tunin na cheng tauvin ahi.
39 “So today you should (meditate on/think about) the fact that Yahweh is God, that he is/rules in heaven and also on the earth, and that there is no other god.
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 Obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, in order that things will go well for you and for your descendants, and that you will live a long time in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, [to belong to 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/I set apart three cities that are on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Chuin Mose’n khopi thum solam Jordan vadunga kichol nading in atung doh in ahi.
42 If someone accidentally killed another person, a person who had not been his enemy previously, he could escape to one of those cities. He would be safe/protected in one of those cities [because the people there would protect him].
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 For the tribe of Reuben, Moses/I set apart Bezer [city] in the (plateau/high level) area. For the tribe of Gad, Moses/I set apart Ramoth [city] in the Gilead [area]. For the tribe of Manasseh, Moses/I set apart Golan [city] in the Bashan [region].
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 Moses/I gave [God’s] laws to the Israeli people.
Thupeh hichengse hi Mose’n Israel mite henga aseipeh ahi.
45 They included all the rules and instructions and commands that Moses/I gave to them, after they/we had come out of Egypt,
Hichengse hi danthu jui ding’a Mose’n Israel miten Egypt gam adalhah uva apeh,
46 when they/we were in the valley east of the Jordan [River]. They/We were across from Beth-Peor [town], in the land that [previously] was ruled by Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city]. Moses/I and the other Israelis had defeated his [army] when they/we came 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/We captured Sihon’s land and the land that Og, the king of the Bashan [region], ruled. They were the two kings who ruled the Amor people-group [in the area] east of the Jordan [River].
Chuin Israel miten Bashan lengpa Og lalna gam leh anei agou jouse achom chai keiyuvin, solama Amor mite leng teni jaona ahi.
48 Their land extended from Aroer [town in the south] along the Arnon [River], as far [north] as Sirion Mountain, which [most people] call Hermon Mountain.
Israel miten Aroer apat Arnon Gorge chule Sirion mol Hermon tiajong kihe changeiyin ajousoh hel tauve.
49 It also included all the area east of the Jordan [River] Valley, all the way south to the Dead Sea and east to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain].
Chuin amahon solam gamkai Jordan vadung pang leh, lhanglam San dung changeiyin ajousoh uvin, Pisgah noilam changei ahi.
