Deuteronomy 5
1 Moses/I summoned all the people of Israel and said to them, “You Israeli people, listen to all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today. Learn them and be sure to obey them.
Mosi ni Isarelnaw a pâkhueng teh, Isarelnaw thai awh haw, na kamtu awh e kâhruetcuet lahoi na hringkhai thai awh nahan, sahnin ka dei e phunglawk hah kahawicalah thai awh haw.
2 When we were at Sinai [Mountain], Yahweh our God made an agreement with us.
Maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni Horeb mon dawk maimouh hoi, lawk a kam awh toe.
3 But this agreement was not only for our ancestors. He made it also for us who are alive now.
Hote lawkkam hah Cathut ni maimae mintoenaw hoi dueng a sak e tho hoeh, sahnin kahring rah niteh, hi kaawm e maimouh puenghoi hai sak e lah ao.
4 Yahweh spoke with us face-to-face on that mountain, from the middle of the fire.
BAWIPA ni mon dawkvah hmai thung hoi, minhmai kadangka lah a dei toe.
5 On that day, I stood between your ancestors and Yahweh to tell them what he said, because they were afraid of the fire, and they did not climb up the mountain. This is what Yahweh said:
Hatnavah nangmouh ni hmai na taki awh teh, mon dawk na luen ngam awh hoeh dawkvah, kai teh BAWIPA Cathut e lawk na poe e hah dei hanelah BAWIPA hoi nangmae rahak ka kangdue.
6 ‘I am Yahweh your God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
A dei e lawk hateh, nangmouh san lah na onae Izip ram hoi na ka tâcawtkhai e nangmae BAWIPA Cathut doeh.
7 [You must worship only] me; you must not worship any other god.
Kai hloilah Cathut alouke na bawk mahoeh.
8 You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or anything that is on the ground or anything that swims in the water.
Kalvan hai thoseh, talai dawk hai thoseh, talai thung tui thung hai thoseh, kaawm e hoi kâvan e meikaphawk banghai namamouh han lah na sak awh mahoeh.
9 You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I punish those who sin and hate me. I punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
A hmalah tabo laihoi bawk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae Cathut, Kai teh dipmasin Cathut, kai na kamaithoenaw e catoun, se thum se pali totouh a napanaw e yon hah a canaw dawk ka pathung e Cathut,
10 But I will steadfastly love (thousands of generations/all the descendants) of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations).
Kai hah lungpataw niteh, kaie kâpoelawk ka tarawi e a catounnaw koe a thongsang totouh pahrennae kamnuek sak e Cathut lah ka o.
11 Do not use/speak my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use/speak my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
Na BAWIPA Cathut e min hah laithoe koe lah na deirumram mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a min laithoe lah dei e yon a tawn telah BAWIPA ni a panue.
12 Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine. Dedicate those days to me just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you.
Na BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk na thui e patetlah Sabbath hnin thoungsak hanelah ya awh.
13 There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
Hnin taruk touh thung thaw na tawk han.
14 but the seventh day is a rest day, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh your God. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not tell foreigners to work, those who are living in your country. You must allow your slaves to rest on that day just like you do.
A hnin sari hnin teh BAWIPA Cathut e Sabbath hnin doeh, hote hnin dawk nama hoi na canaw, san napui, san tongpa, maito, la, na saring pueng, na imyin hai thaw tawk mahoeh. Longkha thung duem na o e patetlah san napui san tongpanaw ni duem ao awh han.
15 Do not forget that you were slaves in Egypt, and that I, Yahweh your God, brought you out from there by my very great power. [DOU, MTY] That is the reason that I am commanding that [all of] you must rest on the seventh/Sabbath day [each week].
Nang teh Izip ram san lah na onae thoseh, na BAWIPA Cathut ni a thaonae kut a dâw teh, hote ram hoi nang na tâcokhai e pouk haw. Hote a kong dawk nang ni Sabbath hnin na ya han telah BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei.
16 Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh your God, will give you, and in order that things will go well for you there.
BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawkvah, na hring a saw teh na yawhawi nahanelah, BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk na thui e patetlah na manu hoi na pa barilawa.
17 Do not murder anyone.
Tami thet hanh.
18 Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
Uicuk hanh.
19 Do not steal anything.
Ayâ e hno parawt hanh.
20 Do not tell lies about anyone [when you are speaking in a court].
Na Imri koe, kahmanhoeh e kapanuekkhaikung lah awm hanh.
21 Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s wife, someone else’s house, someone else’s fields, someone else’s male slave or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that another person owns.’
Na imri e a yu lungraduek hanh. Na imri e im, law, a san napui, a san tongpa, la, maito, hoi hnopai pueng buet touh boehai noenae lungthin tawn hanh telah a ti.
22 Those are the commandments that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors. When they were gathered there at [the bottom of] the mountain, he spoke with a very loud voice from the middle of the fire, and there were dark clouds surrounding the mountain. He spoke only those [ten] commandments, no more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.
Hete lawknaw heh mon dawk hoi, hmai tâmai duk kamthim e kahmot e a thung hoi BAWIPA ni puenghoi kacaipounge lawk hoi nangmouh kamkhueng e rangpuinaw koe a dei. Rek bout dei hoeh toe. Hote lawknaw haiyah lungphen kahni touh dawk a thut teh kai koe na poe.
23 After your ancestors heard [Yahweh’s] voice when he spoke to them out of the darkness, while there was a big fire burning on the mountain, their leaders and elders came to me,
Nangmouh ni hmo na thung e lawk na thai awh teh, Monsom hmai a kak lahun nah, nangmae catounnaw dawk e khobawinaw hoi kacuenaw kai koe a tho awh teh,
24 and [one of] them said, ‘Listen to us! Yahweh our God showed us that he is very great and glorious when we heard him speak [MTY] from the fire. Today we have realized that it is possible for us humans to continue to live even though God has spoken to us.
maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni a bawilennae hoi a lentoenae maimouh koe a kamnue sak toe. Hmai thung hoi lawk hah maimouh ni thai awh toe. Cathut teh tami hoi a kâhmo teh a kâpato eiteh, tami teh a hring rah tie panue awh toe.
25 But we are afraid that we will die [RHQ] if we hear Yahweh our God speak [MTY] to us again; his terrible fire will destroy/kill us.
Maimouh teh bangkongmaw atu due awh han vaw. Hete taki ka tho poung hmai ni maimouh teh na kak awh han toe. Maimae BAWIPA Cathut e lawk dei e hah bout thai awh pawiteh, due awh han doeh toe.
26 (Who has/Certainly no human has) remained alive after hearing the all-powerful God speak [MTY] to them from a fire.
Ka hring Cathut ni hmai thung hoi a dei e lawk hah, maimouh ni thai awh e patetlah, apipatet e tami ni maw ka thai ni teh ka hring vaw.
27 [So Moses], you go [up the mountain] and listen to everything that Yahweh our God will say. Then [come back and] tell us everything that he has said, and we will listen to what he has said and obey it.’
Nang ni a tengpam cet nateh maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e pueng thai awh haw. Maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni kai koe na dei pouh e pueng patuen dei pouh haw. Kaimouh ni ka thai awh vaiteh ka tarawi awh han.
28 Yahweh heard your leaders say that, so [when I went back up the mountain], Yahweh said to me, ‘I have heard what your leaders have said, and what they have said is right/correct.
Hottelah nangmouh ni kai koe na dei awh e lawk BAWIPA ni a thai. BAWIPA Cathut nihai, hete miphun ni nang koe a dei e lawk ka thai, a dei e lawk pueng teh ahawi.
29 I surely wish that they would always think like that and revere me and obey all my commandments, in order that things may go well for them and for their descendants forever.
Ahnimouh hoi a catounnaw ni ahawinae a hmu nahanelah, kai na taki awh teh kâpoelawknaw pueng hah pou a tarawi ngainae lungthin hoi kawi awh naseh.
30 So go [down] and tell them to return to their tents.
Rimnaw koe lah bout ban a leih telah dei pouh.
31 But [then] you [come back up here and] stand near me, and I will give to you all the rules and regulations that I [want them to obey]. Then you can teach them to the people, in order that they will obey them when they are in the land that I am giving to them.’
Nang teh hete hmuen dawk ka teng kangdout. Ahnimouh kai ni ka coe sak e ram dawk a sak awh hane ahnimouh cangkhai hane kâpoelawk, phunglawk hoi lawkcengnae pueng ka dei han telah a ti.
32 [So I went back down to the people, and I said to them], ‘Be sure that you do everything that Yahweh our God has commanded us to do. Do not disobey any of his laws.
Hatdawkvah maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni kâ na poe e patetlah nangmouh ni na sak awh nahan, na kâhruetcuet awh han. Avoilah nakunghai, aranglah nakunghai na phen takhai awh mahoeh.
33 Conduct your lives as Yahweh our God has commanded us to do, in order that you may live a long time, and in order that things will go well for you [when you are living] in the land that you will occupy.’”
Nangmouh na coe awh hane ram dawk, nangmouh ni duethinae dawk hoi na hlout awh vaiteh, hringyung saw nahanelah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e lamthungnaw pueng dawk na dawn awh han.
