Deuteronomy 4
1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, to the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
Oe Isarelnaw nangmouh ni na hring awh teh, mintoenaw ni a bawk e BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram na coe thai awh nahan, na sak awh hane kai ni na cangkhai e phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw thai awh haw.
2 Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [aught] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Kai ni kâ na poe e lawknaw dawk, bout na thap awh mahoeh. Na rayu awh mahoeh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut e kâpoelawknaw hah na tarawi awh han.
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
Cathut ni Baalpeor kecu a sak e hah nangmouh ni na mit hoi na hmu awh toe. Baalpeor kângue pueng nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh thung hoi be a raphoe toe.
4 But ye who adhered to the LORD your God, [are] alive every one of you this day.
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut dawk kângue e pueng teh, sahnin ditouh na hring awh.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes, and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
Nangmouh ni na cei awh vaiteh na coe hane ram dawk na sak awh hane kaie BAWIPA Cathut ni kâ na poe e patetlah, kai ni phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw na cangkhai awh toe.
6 Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which will hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people.
Hatdawkvah, hotnaw hah tarawi awh. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, phunglawk ka thai e tami pueng e hmalah nangmae lungangnae hoi panuenae a kamnue han. Ahnimouh ni hete miphunpui teh, lungangnae hoi panuenae hoi ka kawi e miphun katang doeh telah ati awh han.
7 For what nation [is there so] great, which [hath] God [so] nigh to them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon him [for]?
Maimouh ni ratoum na pueng koe maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni na khet na yawt teh, na pahrennae coe e patetlah alouke cathut ni pahren e miphun apimouh kaawm boi.
8 And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes and judgments [so] righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Kai ni sahnin nangmouh koe ka ta e kâlawk patetlah, phunglawk hoi kalan lah lawkcengnae ka tawn e miphun kalen, apimouh kaawm.
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou shouldst forget the things which thy eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them to thy sons, and thy sons' sons:
Nangmouh ni Horeb mon van na Cathut hmalah, na kangdue awh navah na mit hoi na hmu awh e naw hah pahnim payon avai. Na hringyung thung na pâkuem thai awh nahan, namamouh kâhruetcuet awh. Kâyawm lahoi tarawi awh. Hotnaw hah na catounnaw hai cangkhai awh.
10 [Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and [that] they may teach their children.
Hatnavah BAWIPA ni, taminaw kai koe kamkhueng sak haw. Ahnimouh ni talai van a hring na thung kai na taki thai awh nahan a catounnaw a cangkhai sak nahanelah ka lawk hah na thaisak han telah kai koe a dei e patetlah,
11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
Nangmouh ni rek na tho awh teh mon khok koe na kamkhueng awh. Hatnavah, monsom hmai a kak teh kalvan lungui teh duktamang, tâmai hoi akawi teh duk a kamthim.
12 And the LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only [ye heard] a voice.
BAWIPA Cathut ni hmai thung hoi na pato, nangmouh ni a mei na hmawt laipalah lawk duengdoeh na thai awh.
13 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
Nangmouh ni na tarawi awh hane kâpoelawk 10 touh hah a dei teh, lungphen 2 touh dawk a thut.
14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
Nangmouh ni na cei awh teh na coe awh hane ram dawk na sak awh hane nangmouh koe na cangkhai e phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw hai Cathut ni kai koe kâ na poe.
15 Take ye therefore good heed to yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;
Horeb vah Cathut ni, hmai thung hoi nangmouh koe lawk a dei navah bang e meilam hai na hmu awh hoeh dawkvah,
16 Lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make to you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
Nangmouh ni tami napui tongpa mei
17 The likeness of any beast that [is] on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
Talai van kaawm e saring mei, kalvan kamleng e tava mei,
18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:
Talai dawk vonpui hoi kâva e saring mei, talai thung tui dawk e tanga mei, hoi kâvan e kutsak hah, nangmouh ni bout na kamlang sin awh teh, namamouh han na sak hoeh nahanelah,
19 And lest thou shouldst lift up thy eyes to heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven, shouldst be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided to all nations under the whole heaven.
Kalvan lah na khet teh, Kanî, Thapa, Âsinaw tie kalvan e hno pueng na hmu navah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni, kalvan rahim kaawm e tami pueng koe a poe e hote hnonaw hah, na bawk awh nahane alouke taminaw ni na pasawt thai awh hoeh nahanelah, namahoima kâhruetcuet awh.
20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, [even] from Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as [ye are] this day.
Nangmouh teh sahnin e patetlah BAWIPA Cathut e râw ka coe e miphun lah na o sak nahan, nangmouh teh Izip ram sum thawngnae takhuen koehoi na tâcokhai awh toe.
21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not enter that good land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance:
Hot dueng laipalah, nangmouh kecu dawk, kai koe Cathut a lungkhuek, Jordan tui namran lah rakat laipalah, na coe awh hane Cathut ni na poe e ram thung vah kâen hoeh nahanelah lawk a kam toe.
22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
Hatdawkvah, hete ram dawk ka due han toe. Jordan tui ka rakat mahoeh nangmouh ni na raka awh vaiteh hote kahawipoung e ram na coe awh han.
23 Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing] which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh koe na ta pouh e lawkkam na pahnim awh teh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni a cakâ e kutsak na sak awh hoeh nahan, namahoima kâhruetcuet awh.
24 For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut teh ka kang e hmai, dipma Cathut doeh.
25 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt [yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:
Nangmouh ni na mincanaw na sak awh teh, hote ram dawk moikasawlah na o awh hnukkhu, koung na rawk awh teh buetbuet touh e mei hoi kâlat lah kutsak na sak awh teh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut a lung hoe na khuek sak awh pawiteh,
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from the land to which ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon it, but shall be utterly destroyed.
Jordan tui na raka awh teh na coe awh hane ram thung vah, a ro hoehnahlan na kahma awh han. Moikasawlah kho na sak awh laipalah, khoeroe na kahmakata awh han telah nangmae kong dawk na ka panuek khai e lah sahnin kalvan hoi talai ka palaw.
27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
Cathut ni hai nangmouh teh Jentelnaw koe alouklouk lah na kâkapek sak vaiteh, hrek lah kaawm e Jentelnaw koe youn touh na cawi awh han.
28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Hote hmuen dawk, tami kut hoi sak e, hmawt thai hoeh, thai thai hoeh, cat thai hoeh, a hmui ka thai thai hoeh e thing cathut, talung cathutnaw hah nangmouh ni na bawk awh han.
29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou shalt seek him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
Hateiteh, hote hmuen dawk nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah bout tawng han na ngai awh toteh, lungthin abuemlahoi na tawng awh pawiteh na hmu awh han.
30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things have come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou shalt turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient to his voice;
Nangmouh ni hmalae tueng dawk, rucatnae na khang awh toteh, hete hnonaw puenghoi na kâhmo awh navah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut koe lah bout na ban awh teh, lawk na tarawi awh pawiteh,
31 (For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God; ) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers, which he swore to them.
nangmae Cathut teh pahrennae ka tawn e lah ao dawkvah, nangmanaw na pahnawt awh mahoeh, na raphoe awh mahoeh, lawk a kam e pahnim mahoeh.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and [ask] from the one side of heaven to the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is], or hath been heard like it?
Cathut ni talai dawk tami sak kamtawng hoi nangmouh na o hoehnahlan kaloum tangcoung e atueng dawk e hnonaw pueng hah, kalvan apoutnae koehoi avanglah apoutnae koe totouh pacei awh. Hettelah e kalenpounge hno kaawm boi na ou. Het patetlah e hno kamthang thai boi awh na ou.
33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
Cathut ni hmai thung hoi a dei e lawk nangmouh ni na thai awh e patetlah alouke miphun ni a thai teh hloutnae a coe awh boi na ou.
34 Or hath God essayed to go [and] take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an out-stretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni, Izip ram nangmae hmalah a sak e patetlah mitnout panuenae hoi, kângairu hnonaw a saknae, kâtuknae a phasaknae, thaonae kut dâwnae, taki ka tho e vision a sak e lahoi, alouke cathut ni a cei teh, miphun buet touh koehoi buet touh ama hanelah ouk a la boi ou.
35 To thee it was shown, that thou mightest know that the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none besides him.

36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardst his words from the midst of the fire.
Nangmouh na cangkhai awh teh, kalvan hoi lawk na thaisak toe. Talai van vah kalenpounge hmai hai na hmu sak teh, hmai thung hoi lawk hah na thai awh toe.
37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out of Egypt in his sight with his mighty power.
Nangmae mintoenaw ka pahren dawkvah, a catoun hah ka rawi toe.
38 To drive out nations from before thee, greater and mightier than thou [art], to bring thee in, to give thee their land [for] an inheritance, as [it is] this day.

39 Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thy heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut teh lathueng lae kalvan hoi rahim lae talai van hai thoseh, Cathut lah ao teh, alouke cathut awm hoeh tie hah, sahnin panuek awh, na lung thung pâkuem awh.
40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes and his commandments which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong [thy] days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
Nangmouh hoi na catounnaw ni khosak ahawi nahan, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe e ram dawk, hringsaw nahan thoseh, sahnin kai ni lawk na thui awh e kâpoelawknaw hah, na tarawi awh han telah Mosi ni a dei.
41 Then Moses set apart three cities on the side of Jordan, towards the sun-rising;
Hatnavah, imri hah taran laipalah, ka thet payon e tami teh,
42 That the slayer might flee thither, who should kill his neighbor unawares, and when he had not hated him in times past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
a yawng vaiteh, a hring hlout nahanelah Jordan palang kanîtholah khopui 3 touh Mosi ni a ta pouh.
43 [Namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.

44 And this [is] the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
Hete kâlawk teh Mosi ni Isarelnaw koe a poe e lah ao.
45 These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, after they came forth from Egypt,
Ahnimouh ni Izip ram hoi a tâco awh hnukkhu, Heshbon khopui kaawm e, Amor siangpahrang Sihon e ram thung, Jordan tui kanîtholah, Bethpeor khopui dawk kaawm e tanghling dawk Mosi ni a dei e phunglawknaw hoi lawkcengnaenaw doeh.
46 On the east side of Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they had come forth from Egypt:
Mosi hoi Isarelnaw teh Izip ram hoi a tâco awh hnukkhu hote siangpahrang hoi,
47 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who [were] on the side of Jordan, towards the sun-rising;
Bashan siangpahrang Og tie Jordan tui namran lah kanîtholah, kaawm e Amon siangpahrang 2 touh a thei teh,
48 From Aroer, which [is] by the bank of the river Arnon, even to mount Sion, which [is] Hermon,
Ahnimae ram hah Arnon tui teng kaawm e Aroer khopui, Hermon mon tie Zion mon totouh thoseh,
49 And all the plain on the side of Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
