Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Hear now, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow, so that you may live and may enter and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
1Israel aw oltlueh neh laitloeknah te hnatun laeh. Te te vai hamla nangmih kan cang puei. Te daengah ni na hing uh tih na pha uh vaengah khaw na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah m'paek khohmuen te na pang uh eh.
2You must not add to or subtract from what I command you, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you.
2Kai loh nangmih kang uen olka he thap khaw thap uh boeh, hlaek khaw hlaek uh boeh. Na BOEIPA Pathen kah olpaek, nangmih kang uen te ngaithuen uh.
3Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal-peor, for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all who followed Baal of Peor.
3Baalpeor ah BOEIPA loh a saii te na mik loh a hmuh uh coeng. Baalpeor hnukah aka cet hlang boeih te na BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih khui lamkah a mitmoeng sak coeng.
4But you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive to this day, every one of you.
4Tedae na BOEIPA Pathen aka ben nangmih tah tihnin due boeih na hing uh.
5See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the LORD my God has commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
5So lah, nangmih te ka Pathen BOEIPA loh kai n'uen bangla oltlueh neh laitloeknah kan cang puei. Te te pang hamla pahoi aka kun nangmih loh tekah khohmuen khui ah vai uh.
6Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, who will hear of all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
6Pilnam kah mikhmuh ah na cueihnah neh na yakmingnah ham khaw he he ngaithuen uh lamtah vai uh. Tekah oltlueh boeih te a yaak uh vaengah, 'Hekah Pilnam bueng ni aka cueih tih aka thuep pilnu la aka om he,’ a ti uh ni.
7For what nation is great enough to have a god as near to them as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?
7Amah te mamih loh n'khue uh takuem ah mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen bangla aka hmaiben pathen te mebang pilnu ham lae a om eh.
8And what nation is great enough to have righteous statutes and ordinances like this entire law I set before you today?
8Tihnin kah nangmih mikhmuh ah ka tloeng olkhueng boeih bangla aka dueng oltlueh neh laitloeknah he mebang pilnu ham bal lae?
9Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.
9Tedae namah te ngaithuen uh lamtah na hinglu khaw rhep ngaithuen. Na mik loh a hmuh hno te koeloe na hnilh ve, na hing tue khuiah na thinko lamloh nong ve. Te dongah na ca rhoek taeng neh na ca rhoek kah a ca rhoek taengah ming sak.
10The day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, “Gather the people before Me to hear My words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach them to their children.”
10Na BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh ah na pai vaeng hnin ah BOEIPA loh Horeb ah, 'Pilnam te kamah taengah tingtun sak. Khohmuen kah mulhing rhoek loh a tue khuiah kai n'rhih uh ham kamah kah olka ka yaak sak vanbangla n'tukkil uh saeh lamtah a ca rhoek te tukkil uh saeh,’ a ti.
11You came near and stood at the base of the mountain, a mountain blazing with fire to the heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.
11Tedae na pawk uh tih tlang yung kah na pai uh vaengah tlang te hmai la alh tih vaan lungui te cingmai neh yinnah loh a hmuep sak.
12And the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice.
12Te vaengah nangmih te BOEIPA loh hmai khui lamkah m'voek. A olcal ol te na yaak uh ngawn dae a ol bueng mai ni,A muei aka hmuh na om uh moenih.
13He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to follow—the Ten Commandments that He wrote on two tablets of stone.
13Te vaengah nangmih loh na vai uh ham ol lungrha n'uen te amah kah paipi la nangmih taengah a doek tih lungto lungpael panit dongah a daek.
14At that time the LORD commanded me to teach you the statutes and ordinances you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
14Te dongah nangmih tukkil ham koi oltlueh neh nangmih loh na kun uh tih na pang uh ham koi khohmuen ah na vai uh ham laitloeknah khaw amah tekah khohnin ah ni BOEIPA loh kai n'uen pueng.
15So since you saw no form of any kind on the day the LORD spoke to you out of the fire at Horeb, be careful
15Horeb ah BOEIPA loh hmai khui lamkah nangmih m'voek hnin vaengah a muei boeih na hmuh uh pawt dongah na hinglu te mat na ngaithuen uh.
16that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,
16Na poci uh vetih huta tongpa muei dongkah mueimae boeih,
17of any beast that is on the earth or bird that flies in the air,
17Diklai dongkah rhamsa boeih kah a muei, vaan ah a phae neh aka ding vaa boeih kah a muei khaw,
18or of any creature that crawls on the ground or fish that is in the waters below.
18diklai dongah aka colh boeih kah a muei, diklai hmui ah tui khuikah nga boeih kah muei khaw, nangmih ham mueithuk muei la na saii uh ve.
19When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
19Na mik te vaan la na huel ve. Khomik, hla, aisi neh vaan caempuei boeih ke na hmuh vaengah na BOEIPA Pathen loh vaan hmui boeih kah pilnam rhoek boeih ham a hmoel taengah thothueng hamla na bakop thil vetih n'heh ve.
20Yet the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of His inheritance, as you are today.
20Tedae tahae khohnin kah bangla amah taengah rho aka pang pilnam la om sak ham ni nangmih te BOEIPA loh Egypt thi hmai-ulh khui lamkah n'loh tih n'khuen.
21The LORD, however, was angry with me on account of you, and He swore that I would not cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
21Tedae nangmih kah olka dongah BOEIPA te kai taengah a thintoek. Te dongah Jordan ka lan pawt ham neh na BOEIPA Pathen loh nang taengah rho la m'paek khohmuen then khuiah kun pawt ham ol a caeng.
22For I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I must die in this land. But you shall cross over and take possession of that good land.
22Kai tah hekah khohmuen ah ka duek vetih, Jordan te ka kat voel mahpawh. Tedae nangmih kat uh lamtah khohmuen then te pang uh.
23Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God that He made with you; do not make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything He has forbidden you.
23Nangmih te ngaithuen uh , na Pathen BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah a saii paipi te na hnilh uh vetih na Pathen BOEIPA loh nang n'uen bangla a cungkuem muei kah mueithuk te namamih ham na saii uh ve.
24For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
24Na BOEIPA Pathen tah thatlai Pathen la om tih hmai bangla n'hlawp thai.
25After you have children and grandchildren and you have been in the land a long time, if you then act corruptly and make an idol of any form—doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and provoking Him to anger—
25Ca na sak uh tih ca rhoek kah ca rhoek khaw khohmuen ah na ih nahnut ah na poci uh tih a cungkuem muei kah mueithuk te na saii uh atah, amah te veet hamla na Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni na saii uh.
26I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it, but will be utterly destroyed.
26Tihnin ah Jordan aka kat nangmih te khohmuen dong lamkah koeloe na milh rhoe na milh ham te vaan neh diklai he nangmih taengah kan laipai sak coeng. Khohmuen na pang uh cakhaw na khohnin loh sen uh pawt vetih a mit rhoe la na mit uh ni.
27Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
27Pilnam rhoek lakli ah nangmih te BOEIPA loh n'taekyaak vetih hlang sii la aka cul te khaw namtom taengla na BOEIPA loh m'vai ni.
28And there you will serve man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.
28Te vaengah hlang kut loh lungto thingngo neh a sai pathen, aka hmu mueh, aka ya thai mueh, aka ca thai mueh neh aka him thai mueh te ni tho na thueng thil eh.
29But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
29Na Pathen BOEIPA te tekah khohmuen lamkah na thuep uh tih na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih neh na tlap atah na hmuh van ni.
30When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice.
30Vuenvai ah nang ham khobing tih hekah olka boeih loh nang taengla ha pawk uh vaengah na BOEIPA Pathen taengla na bal vetih a ol te na yaak atah,
31For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers, which He swore to them by oath.
31na Pathen BOEIPA he thinphoei Pathen la a om dongah nang te n'rhael pawt vetih m'phae mahpawh. Na pa rhoek taengah a caeng paipi te khaw hnilh mahpawh.
32Indeed, ask now from one end of the heavens to the other about the days that long preceded you, from the day that God created man on earth: Has anything as great as this ever happened or been reported?
32Diklai dongah Pathen loh hlang a suen khohnin lamloh na mikhmuh ah aka om hnukbuet tue te dawt laeh. Te dongah vaan khobawt lamkah vaan khobawt duela tahae kah hno len bangla om vai nim? Te bang te n'yaak vai nim?
33Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived?
33Hmai khui lamkah a thui Pathen kah ol te nang loh na yaak bangla pilnam loh a yaak tih a hing puei van nim?
34Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation—by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors—as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?
34Na Pathen BOEIPA loh Egypt ah nangmih ham na mikhmuh ah a saii bangla namtom khui lamkah namtom te amah ham aka lo la a paan tih noemcainah neh, miknoek neh, kopoekrhai neh, caemtloek neh, tlungluen kut neh, ban lam neh, rhimomnah tangkik neh a tloe pathen loh a noemcai a?
35You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him.
35BOEIPA Pathen amah phoeiah a tloe Pathen om pawh tila ming sak ham nang n'tueng coeng.
36He let you hear His voice from heaven to discipline you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire.
36Nangmih toel ham ni a ol te vaan lamloh nang n'yaak sak. Diklai dongah khaw amah kah hmai puei te nang n'tueng coeng dongah amah kah olka te hmai khui lamkah na yaak coeng.
37Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt by His presence and great power,
37Na pa rhoek te khaw a lungnah dongah ni a hnukkah a tiingan te khaw a coelh tih a mikhmuh ah a thadueng a len neh Egypt lamloh nang n'khuen.
38to drive out before you nations greater and mightier than you, and to bring you into their land and give it to you for your inheritance, as it is this day.
38Amah tihnin kah bangla nang mawt ham neh amih kah khohmuen te nang taengah rho la paek ham rhoe ni nang lakah aka len neh pilnu namtom te na mikhmuh lamloh a haek.
39Know therefore this day and take to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
39Te dongah tihnin ah ming lamtah na thinko khui ah dueh laeh. BOEIPA Pathen amah bang he vaan so ah khaw, diklai hman neh a khui ah khaw a om bal moenih.
40Keep His statutes and commandments, which I am giving you today, so that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time.
40Namah neh na hnukkah na ca rhoek khaw khophoeng a pha van ham tah tihnin ah kai loh nang kang uen oltlueh neh olpaek he ngaithuen. Te daengah ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh na hing tue khui boeih ham nang m'paek khohmuen ah na hinglung a vang eh?,’ a ti.
41Then Moses set aside three cities across the Jordan to the east
41Te vaengah Moses loh khomik khocuk la aka dan uh Jordan rhalvangan kah khopuei pathum te a hoep tih,
42to which a manslayer could flee after killing his neighbor unintentionally without prior malice. To save one’s own life, he could flee to one of these cities:
42U khaw a ming mueh neh hlaem hlavai lamkah a taengah a hmuhuet mueh mai ah a hui te a ngawn atah tekah hlang aka ngawn loh a rhaelrham vaengah te tekah khopuei khat khat la rhaelrham sak tih hinglu hlawt sak ham,
43Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau belonging to the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the Gadites, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the Manassites.
43Reuben koca kah tlangkol khohmuen, khosoek ah Bezer neh, Gad koca kah Gilead ah Ramoth khaw, Manasseh koca kah Bashan ah Golan te a hoep.
44This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites.
44Hekah olkhueng he Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Moses loh a khueh pah tih,
45These are the testimonies, statutes, and ordinances that Moses proclaimed to them after they had come out of Egypt,
45Hekah olphong neh oltlueh khaw laitloeknah he khaw Egypt lamkah halo vaengah Israel ca rhoek taengah Moses loh a uen.
46while they were in the valley across the Jordan facing Beth-peor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.
46Moses neh Israel ca rhoek loh Egypt lamkah halo vaengah Jordan rhalvang, Bethpeor imdan kolrhawk khuikah neh Sihon khohmuen dongkah Heshbon ah aka om Amori manghai te a tloek tih,
47They took possession of the land belonging to Sihon and to Og king of Bashan—the two Amorite kings across the Jordan to the east—
47amah khohmuen la, khomik khocuk Jordan rhalvang kah Amori manghai rhoi neh Bashan manghai Oga kah khohmuen,
48extending from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Siyon (that is, Hermon),
48Arnon soklong tuikung Aroer lamkah Hermon kah Siyon tlang due,
49including all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.
49Jordan rhalvang khocuk benkah kolken pum neh Pisgah tuibah hmuikah kolken tuitunli due pataeng a huul uh.
