Deuteronomy 7
1 “Yahweh our God will bring you to the land that you will soon enter and occupy. As you advance, he will expel from that land seven people-groups that are more powerful and more numerous than you are. He will expel the Heth people-group, the Girgash people-group, the Amor people-group, the Canaan people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group.
Khohmuen pang ham na BOEIPA Pathen loh nang n'khuen tih na kun thil vaengah Khitti neh Girgashi khaw, Amori neh Kanaani khaw, Perizzi neh Khivee khaw, Jebusi neh nang lakah aka tlung aka ping namtu parhih te na mikhmuh lamkah muep a biit.
2 When Yahweh our God enables you to defeat [DOU] them, you must kill all of them. You must not make (an alliance/a peace treaty) with any of them. You must not act mercifully toward them.
Amih te na BOEIPA Pathen loh nang taengla han tloeng vaengah ngawn lamtah thup rhoe la thup. Amih neh moi khaw bop boeh. Amih te rhen boeh.
3 You must not marry any of them. You must not allow your daughters to marry any of their sons or allow your sons to marry any of their daughters.
Amih neh yuva uh thae boeh. Na canu khaw a capa taengla pae boeh. A canu khaw na capa ham loh pah boeh.
4 Because, if you did that, those people would cause your children to stop worshiping Yahweh and to worship other gods. If that happens, Yahweh will be very angry with you and he will get rid of you immediately.
Na capa te kai hnuk lamloh nong tih pathen tloe rhoek taengah tho a thueng mai ni. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek loh nang taengah sai vetih nang te tlek m'mitmoeng sak ni.
5 This is what you must do to those people: Tear down their (altars/places for sacrificing animals), break apart the stone pillars [that are dedicated to their male god Baal], cut down the [poles that they use when they worship the goddess] Asherah, and burn their [wooden] idols.
Tedae amih taengah na saii ham ngawn tah amih kah hmueihtuk te phil pah lamtah kaam te khaw boh pah. Amih kah Asherah te vung pah lamtah a mueidaep te hmai neh hoeh pah.
6 You must do that because you are a group of people who belong to Yahweh our God. He has chosen you from among all the people-groups in the world to be his own special people.
Nang tah na BOEIPA Pathen ham aka cim pilnam la na om tih diklai hman kah pilnam boeih khuiah pilnam lungthen la amah taengah om ham ni na BOEIPA Pathen loh nang n'coelh.
7 “It was not because you were more numerous than any other people-group that Yahweh preferred you; you are one of the smallest people-groups on the earth.
Pilnam boeih lakah na pungtai dongah nangmih te BOEIPA loh m'ven moenih. Pilnam boeih lakah na hlangsii uh dongah ni nangmih te n'coelh.
8 Instead, it is because Yahweh loved you and because he wanted to do what he vowed to your ancestors. That is the reason that he rescued you by his great power [MTY], and freed you from being slaves [MTY] of the king of Egypt.
Tedae na BOEIPA kah lungnah loh na pa rhoek taengah a caeng olhlo te a ngaithuen dongah BOEIPA loh tlungluen kut neh nang n'khuen tih Egypt manghai Pharaoh kut dongkah sal im lamkah nang te n'lat coeng.
9 So do not forget that Yahweh our God is the only/true God. He will do what he agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love (for 1,000 generations/forever) all those who love him and who obey his commandments.
Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen, Pathen amah kah a paipi te a cak la aka ngaithuen neh amah aka lungnah tih a olpaek te a olpaek bangla aka ngaithuen taengah cadilcahma thawngkhat duela sitlohnah Pathen la om tila ming lah.
10 But for those who hate him, he will (pay them back/do to them what they deserve); he will punish them and quickly get rid of them.
Tedae amah aka hmuhuet te a mikhmuh ah a thuung vetih milh sak ham khaw uelh mahpawh. Anih aka hmuhuet te tah a mikhmuh ah a thuung ni.
11 “So you must be sure to obey all the commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
Te dongah kai loh tihnin ah nang kang uen olpaek neh oltlueh khaw, laitloeknah khaw na vai ham te ngaithuen.
12 If you heed these commands and obey them faithfully, Yahweh our God will do what he has agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love you, which is what he vowed to your ancestors that he would do.
Laitloeknah he na yaak coeng dongah ngaithuen lamtah vai laeh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengkah paipi neh na pa rhoek taengah a toemngam sitlohnah te a ngaithuen eh.
13 He will love you and bless you. He will enable you to have many children [DOU]. He will bless your fields, with the result that you will have plenty of grain and [grapes to make] wine and plenty of [olive] oil. You will have many cattle and sheep. He will do all these things for you in the land that he promised to your ancestors that he would give to you.
Nang n'lungnah vetih na yoe han then sak ni. Nang taengah paek ham na pa rhoek taengah a caeng khohmuen ah nang te n'rhoeng sak vetih na bungko thaihtae neh na khohmuen thingthaih na cangpai khaw, na misur thai neh na situi khaw, na saelhung saelca neh na boiva khuikah suentae thai khaw yoethen a paek ni.
14 He will bless you more than he will bless any other people-group. All of you will be able to have/produce children [LIT]. All of your livestock will be able to produce offspring.
Pilnam rhoek boeih lakah yoethen la na om vetih na khuiah caya neh na rhamsa dongah khaw aka ting khaw om mahpawh.
15 And Yahweh will protect you from all illnesses. You will not be afflicted with any of the dreadful diseases that [our ancestors knew about] in Egypt, but all your enemies will be inflicted with those diseases.
BOEIPA loh nang taengkah tlohtat boeih te a khoe vetih Egypt kah tloh thae na ming boeih long khaw nang m'phoei mahpawh. Tedae na lunguet rhoek boeih te tah a phoei ni.
16 You must get rid of all the people-groups that Yahweh our God will enable you to conquer. Do not [SYN] act mercifully toward any of them. And do not worship their gods, because if you do that, it would be like falling into a trap [from which you will never be able to escape].
Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah m'paek pilnam boeih te hlawp lamtah na mik long khaw amih te rhen boel saeh. Nang taengah hlaeh la aka om amih kah pathen rhoek taengah khaw thothueng boeh.
17 “Do not think to yourselves, ‘These people-groups are more numerous/powerful than we are, so we certainly cannot [RHQ] expel them.’
Na thinko nen tah, 'Kai lakah aka ping namtu rhoek he huul ham metlam ka coeng thai eh,’ na ti mai ngawn ni.
18 Do not be afraid of them. Instead, think about what Yahweh our God did to the king of Egypt and to all the people whom he [ruled].
BOEIPA na Pathen loh Pharaoh taeng neh Egypt pum taengah a saii te poek rhoe poek lamtah amih te rhih boeh.
19 Do not forget the terrible plagues that your ancestors saw [Yahweh inflict on the people of Egypt], and the many [DOU] miracles [that he performed], and the very powerful [DOU, MTY] way by which he brought your ancestors out [of Egypt]. Yahweh our God will do the same kind of things to the people-groups that you are afraid of now.
Na mik loh noemcainah muep a hmuh phoeiah miknoek, kopoekrhai, tlungluen kut neh ban a yueng tih BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang n'khuen coeng. Te vanbangla a mikhmuh ah nang loh na rhih pilnam rhoek boeih te khaw BOEIPA na Pathen loh a saii ni.
20 Furthermore, he will cause them to become terrified, and he will destroy those who remain alive and run away to hide from you.
Aka sueng rhoek neh na mikhmuh lamkah aka ying rhoek te a milh duela BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih taengah khoingal a tueih bal ni.
21 Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God will be with/among you. He is a great God; he is the one you should be afraid of.
BOEIPA na Pathen tah nang dongah boeilen Pathen neh a rhih a om coeng dongah amih hmai ah na sarhing sak boeh.
22 He will expel those people-groups gradually. You should not [try to] expel all of them at one time, because if you did that, the number of wild animals would quickly increase, [and you would not be able to get rid of them].
Namtom rhoek te khaw BOEIPA na Pathen loh na mikhmuh lamkah vawlh vawlh a biit bitni. Amih te thup koeloe ham coeng mahpawh, na taengah kohong mulhing la ha pung ve.
23 Instead, Yahweh will enable you to defeat your enemies [one people-group at a time]. He will cause them to panic until they are destroyed.
Tedae amih te BOEIPA na Pathen loh na mikhmuh ah han tloeng vetih soekloeknah a len neh a mit uh due amih te a pangngawl sak ni.
24 He will enable you to defeat [IDM] their kings. After you kill them, their names will be forgotten {people will forget about them}. No people-group will be able to stop you; you will destroy all of them.
Amih kah manghai rhoek te khaw nang kut dongla m'paek vaengah amih ming te vaan hmui ah na milh sak vetih na mikhmuh ah pakhat kangna khaw a pai pawt hilah amih te na mit sak ni.
25 You must burn the wooden idols [that represent] their gods. Do not desire to take the silver or gold [decorations] that are on those idols, because if you take them for yourselves, they will be like a trap [to cause you to want to worship those idols]. Yahweh hates [the worship of those idols].
Amih kah pathen mueidaep te hmai neh hoeh pah. A pum dongkah sui neh cak khaw nai boeh. BOEIPA na Pathen kah tueilaehkoi te namah ham na lo vetih te long te n'hlaeh ve.
26 You must not bring any of those disgusting idols into your houses, because if you do that, God will curse you like he curses them. You must hate and despise [DOU] those idols, because they are things that [Yahweh] has cursed.”
Na im khuila tueilaehkoi te khuen boeh. Tuei ham koi te na tuei vanbangla yaehtaboeih la na om vetih yaehtaboeih la aka om te khaw na tuei rhoe na tuei ham om.
