Deuteronomy 6
1 “These are the commandments and rules and regulations that Yahweh our God commanded me to teach to you. He wants you to obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Tahae kah olpaek, oltlueh neh laitloeknah he pang ham na muk uh khohmuen ah nangmih cang puei ham neh saii sak ham ni na BOEIPA Pathen loh n'uen.
2 He wants you to revere him, and he wants you and your descendants to always obey all these rules and regulations that I am giving to you, in order that you may live for a long time.
Te dongah na BOEIPA Pathen te na rhih tih a khosing neh a olpaek boeih te namah neh na ca long khaw, na ca kah a ca long khaw, na hing tue khuiah ngaithuen sak ham ni kai loh nang kang uen. Te daengah ni na hinglung a vang eh.
3 So, you Israeli people, listen to them carefully and obey them. If you do that, things will go well with you, and you will become a nation with a very large population when you are living in that very fertile [IDM] land. That is what Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised [would happen].
Aw Israel na yaak van coeng dongah na ngai ham te ngaithuen lah. Te long ni nang te khophoeng m'pha sak vetih na pa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen loh nang taengah a thui vanbangla suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen ah muep na ping eh.
4 “You Israeli people, listen! Only Yahweh is our God.
Israel aw hnatun lah BOEIPA pakhat bueng ni mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen la aka om.
5 You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do.
Na BOEIPA Pathen te na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih, na cungkuem boeih neh lungnah lah.
6 Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today.
Tihnin ah kai loh nang kang uen olka he nang kah thinko ah rhaehrhong lah saeh.
7 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 and when you are doing things.
Na ca rhoek pum dongah pak pah lamtah na im ah na ngol vaengah khaw, long na caeh vaengah khaw, na yalh vaengah khaw, na thoh vaengah khaw thui pah.
8 [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].
Na kut ah miknoek la cin pah lamtah na mikhmuh ah samtoelrhui bangla om saeh.
9 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
Na im rhungsut neh na vongka dongah khaw daek pah.
10 “Yahweh our God vowed to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that he will give you a land that already has in it large and prosperous cities that you did not build.
Tedae nang taengah paek ham na pa rhoek Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob taengah a caeng tangtae na thoong mueh khopuei dangka neh aka then,
11 He said that the houses in those cities will already be full of many good things that [others put there]; you did not put them there. There will be wells that others have dug. There will be vineyards and olive trees that others planted. So when Yahweh brings you into that land, and you have all that you want to eat,
Na sang pawt dae thennah cungkuem neh aka khawk im la, na vuet pawt dae a vueh tangtae tuito la, misur neh olive khaw na tue pawt dae na caak tih na hah nah khohmuen ah nang aka thak la na BOEIPA Pathen te om bitni.
12 be sure that you do not forget Yahweh who rescued you from being slaves [in Egypt and gave all these things to you].
Namah te ngaithuen, Egypt kho lamkah sal imkhui lamloh nang aka khuen BOEIPA te na hnilh ve.
13 “You must revere Yahweh our God, and you must serve only him and say that he should [MTY] punish you if you do not do what you have promised.
Na BOEIPA Pathen te rhih lah. Amah taengah tho na thueng phoeiah ni a ming nen khaw na toemngam eh.
14 You must not worship any other gods, the gods that the people-groups who will live near you worship.
Na kaepvai pilnam rhoek kah pathen, hlangtloe pathen hnukah cet boeh.
15 Yahweh our God, who lives among you, (will not accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else. So if you worship any other god, Yahweh will be very angry with you, and he will get rid of you completely.
Na khui kah na Pathen BOEIPA tah thatlai Pathen ni. Na BOEIPA Pathen kah a thintoek he nang taengah ha sai vetih nang te diklai maelhmai dong lamloh m'mit sak ve.
16 Do not do sinful things to find out if you can do them without Yahweh our God punishing you, like your ancestors did at Massah.
Massah ah na noemcai uh bangla na BOEIPA Pathen te noemcai uh boeh.
17 Be sure that you always obey all the laws, the commandments, the rules, and the regulations that he has given to you.
Na BOEIPA Pathen kah olpaek khaw, a olphong neh a oltlueh nang n'uen te khaw ngaithuen rhoela ngaithuen.
18 Do what Yahweh says is right and good. If you do that, things will go well with you. You will be able to enter and occupy the good/fertile land that Yahweh vowed to give to our ancestors.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem neh a then la saii. Te daengah ni nang te khophoeng m'pha sak phoeiah na pa rhoek taengah BOEIPA loh a caeng khohmuen then te na paan vetih na pang eh.
19 He will do that by expelling your enemies from that land, just like he promised to do.
BOEIPA loh a thui vanbangla na thunkha boeih te na mikhmuh lamloh a thaek ni.
20 “In the future, when your children ask you, ‘Why did Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and regulations?’
Thangvuen ah na ca loh nang n'dawt tih, 'Mamih BOEIPA Pathen kah olphong, oltlueh neh laitloeknah te balae,’ a ti ni.
21 tell them, ‘Our ancestors were slaves of the king in Egypt, but Yahweh brought them out of Egypt by his great power [MTY].
Na ca taengah, “Egypt ah Pharaoh sal la n'om uh vaengah BOEIPA loh tlungluen kut neh Egypt lamkah mamih n'doek.
22 They saw him do many kinds of miracles [DOU] and do terrifying things to the people of Egypt and to the king and his officials.
BOEIPA loh mamih mikhmuh ah Egypt soah, Pharaoh neh a imkhui boeih soah miknoek neh kopoekrhai a len koek neh yoethae te a paek.
23 He rescued our ancestors from Egypt and brought them here to give them this land, just like he vowed that he would do.
Tedae mamih tah a pa rhoek taengah a caeng sut khohmuen te mamih taengah paek ham ni te lamloh n'loh tih n'khuen.
24 And he commanded us to obey all these laws and to revere him, for our own good and in order that he would protect our nation and enable us to prosper, as he is doing now.
Tihnin kah bangla mamih aka hing sak ham mamih ham khohnin takuem a then dongah mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen rhih ham neh he rhoek kah oltlueh boeih he vai sak ham BOEIPA loh mamih n'uen coeng.
25 Yahweh our God will (approve of us/consider us to be righteous) if we carefully obey everything that he has commanded us to do.’”
Mamih n'uen vanbangla tahae kah olpaek boeih he mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh ah vai ham n'ngaithuen uh atah mamih ham duengnah la om van ni.
