Deuteronomy 8
1 “You must faithfully obey all the commandments that I am giving you today. If you do that, you will live [a long time], you will become very numerous, and you will occupy the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give [to you].
Tunia ka thupeh chengse hi chingthei tah in jui bukim soh keiyuvin. Chutileh nahinkhou sot intin, Pakaiyin napu napate khanga pat peh dinga akitepna gam nalo thei diu ahi.
2 And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He [caused you to have many problems/difficulties], because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do [IDM], whether you would obey his commandments or not.
Pakai, na Pathen uvin kum somli gamthip lah akona nahin puidohna geldoh jing un, ajeh chu Pakai thupeh ijakai nanit kimsoh nadiuva nangho patepna ahi.
3 So he caused you to have/experience difficulties. He allowed you to become hungry. Then he gave you manna [food from heaven], food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did that to teach you that people need food [for their bodies]; but [they also need food for their spirits, which comes from paying attention to] everything that Yahweh says [MTY].
Henge, Pakaiyin gilkiela naum laipet tah uvin mana napiuvin ahi. Hiche tobang an-hi napu, napateu khanga jong um khalou ahi. Ajeh chu mihemte hi changlhah jengseh a hing jou ahipoi ti, Pakaiyin nahetsah nau ahin; amavang Pakai kam sunga kona hung potdoh thu changa bou hinga nahiuve.
4 During those 40 years [of walking through the desert], our clothes did not wear out and our feet did not swell [from walking a very long way through the desert].
Kum somli sung in von-ah ding jong nangaicha pouvin chule nakeng ujong imacha atipon ahi.
5 Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
Hichu geltem uvin: Minu mipan acha ahilna banga, Pakaiyin nang ho phatchomna dinga bou nakhoukhah nau ahi.
6 “Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
Hijeh chun Pakai, na Pathen'u thupeh chengse abonchan nit kimsoh keiyun lang, Pakai ging jinga hinkho naman diu ahi.
7 He is about to bring you into a good/fertile land, which has streams which flow down from the hills and pour/flow out of springs in the valleys.
Ajeh chu Pakai, na Pathen uvin na gamu phatah twi nenna muna nahin puiyuva, hichu phaicham leh thing lhang gam aboncha ahi.
8 It is a land on which wheat and barley grow, a land where there are fig trees and pomegranates, and a land where there are olive trees and honey.
Hiche gam pumpi hi mimchang le kolbu lei jeng ahin; theiba phung, kolbu thei phung, Olive phung leh khoiju lonna gam ahi.
9 It is a land where there will be plenty of food for you, where you will (not lack anything/have everything that you need) [LIT], a land which has iron [ore] in its rocks and from which you can dig copper [ore] from its hills.
Hiche gamsung hi Pakaiyin ijakai kimsela twi achap nou ahin, chule agam sunga thih jong song banga kimang ahin, thinglhang gam song mantam jeng uma ahi.
10 [Every day] you will eat until your stomachs are full, and you will thank Yahweh our God for the fertile/good land that he has given you.
Agamsungga naneh teng uleh Pakai, na Pathen'u thangvahna napeh jing diu ahi.
11 But, [when that happens], be sure not to forget Yahweh our God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
Hinlah chingthei tah in um uvin! Ajeh chu hiche gampha laitah jeh a chu tunikhoa Pakai, na Pathen'u thupeh nasuh millou diu ahi.
12 When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
Nanghon innom nahin kisah doh diu chule haosatah a nain chen diu,
13 and when the number of your cattle and sheep has greatly increased, and when you have accumulated a large amount of silver and gold, and the amount of all your other possessions has greatly increased,
chule nagan chateu jong hung pung cheh cheh ding, sana leh dangka ijakai kimsela nahin neidiu chuteng chingthei tah naum diu ahi.
14 be sure that you do not become proud [IDM] and forget Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt and brought them out from there.
Chutengleh kiletsah hoithona imacha naneilou diu ahi. Ajeh chu Egypt gamsunga gim genthei nathoh lai uva Pakai, Pathen in nahuh doh’u ahi.
15 Do not forget that he led them [while they traveled] through that huge and terrible desert, where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. And do not forget that where the ground was very dry and there was no water, he caused water to flow for them out of (solid/very hard) rock.
Pakaiyin gamthip noiya aipi hang leh gulse holah a nahin puidoh nau nagel doh jing diu, hiche mun chu tolgo lah le gamsa mun ahin, hinlah Pakaiyin twi nape uvin ahi.
16 Do not forget that in that desert he gave your ancestors manna to eat, food that they had never eaten before. He [caused them to have/experience many problems/difficulties], because he wanted them to realize that they needed to trust him and not themselves. And he wanted to test them, to find out whether they intended to obey him, in order that when [those difficulties] ended, he would do many good things for them.
Pakaiyin gamthip noiya manna in navah vaset uvin, hichu napu napateu khanga um khalou anneh ahi. Hiche hi Pakaiyin nangho patepna dinga abol ahin athua nanun cheh diu ahi.
17 Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
Hiche ho jouse Pakaiyin nang ho dinga na atoh ahin, keima hatna a ka kilamdoh ahitia ima nasei louhel diu ahi.
18 Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who has enabled you to become rich. He does this because he faithfully does what he solemnly promised our ancestors that he would do.
Pakai, na Pathen'u na geldoh jing diu ahi. Pakai bouvin nangho lolhin theina dinga tha napeh’u ahi, ajeh chu napu, napa teu khanga pat kitepna gui lhunsah nading ahi.
19 “solemnly warn you that if you forget Yahweh our God and turn to other gods and start to serve them and worship them, you will certainly be destroyed.
Hiche hi nahet jing diuva ka thupeh ahi: Pakai, na Pathen'u sumila pathen dang angsunga na bohkhup uva ahileh, na chung uva thina lhung jeng ding ahi.
20 If you do not obey Yahweh our God, he will certainly destroy you just like he will destroy the people-groups that you will fight against.”
Pakai, Pathen nah sah louva naum uva ahileh, nam dang ki sumang ho banga nangho jong na ki sumang diu ahi.
