Kâboutpoenae 13

1 Nangmouh koe profet hoehpawiteh, mang ka mang thai e buetbuet touh tâcawt boilah, mitnoutnae hoehpawiteh, kângairunae na poe awh teh,

If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

2 hote mitnoutnae hoehpawiteh kângairunae hah akuep nakunghai, nang ni na panue hoeh e alouke cathut koe cet awh sei, bawk awh sei telah ahni ni dei pawiteh,

and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s serve them,”

3 hote e profet hoehpawiteh, mang ka mang e lawk hah na tarawi mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh teh nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hah na lungthin buemlahoi thoseh, na hringnae buemlahoi thoseh lung na pataw ou, pataw hoeh ou tie hah panue nahanelah nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh na tanouknae doeh.

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hnuk na kâbang awh han. Takinae lung hoi kâpoelawknaw hah na tarawi awh han. A lawk ngâi laihoi na bawk awh vaiteh, BAWIPA dawk rek na kâhnai awh han.

You shall walk after the LORD your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him.

5 San lah na onae hmuen Izip ram hoi nangmouh na katâcawtkhai e nangmae BAWIPA Cathut koehoi phen sak hanelah thoseh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk na thui e lam dawk hoi phen sak hanelah a dei awh dawkvah, hote profet hai thoseh, mang ka mang thai e hai thoseh, a due nahanelah na thei awh han. Hottelah nangmouh koehoi yonnae hah na takhoe awh han.

That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which the LORD your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

6 Nang ni na panue hoeh e, na mintoenaw ni hai a panue hoeh e alouke cathutnaw koe, cet awh sei, bawk awh sei, telah a dei teh, na hmaunawngha, na capanaw, na canunaw

If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods”—which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;

7 Talai apoutnae koehoi avanglah apoutnae koe totouh, na tengpam vah, a hnai ahlanae koe kaawm e taminaw e cathutnaw ni na ka tacuek nakunghai thoseh,

of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth—

8 nang ni na tarawi mahoeh. A lawk na ngâi pouh mahoeh. Na mit ni pahren mahoeh. Ahni hah na pasai mahoeh. Na hrawk mahoeh.

you shall not consent to him nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him;

9 Na thei roeroe han. Na thei nahanelah na kut hmaloe na pho vaiteh, hathnukkhu tami pueng ni kut a pho awh van han.

but you shall surely kill him. Your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.

10 Santoungnae koe Izip ram hoi nangmouh na katâcawtkhai e na BAWIPA Cathut koehoi pâlei hanelah a kâcai dawkvah, ahni hah talung hoi na dei vaiteh na thei han.

You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

11 Hote kamthang hah Isarelnaw pueng ni a thai awh vaiteh, hot patetlah e hno hah nangmouh thung dawk bout sak laipalah ao awh nahane doeh.

All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.

12 Tami kahawi hoeh naw teh nangmouh thung hoi a tâco awh teh, nangmouh ni na panue awh hoeh e alouke cathut koe cei awh vaiteh bawk awh sei telah a dei awh teh,

If you hear about one of your cities, which the LORD your God gives you to dwell there, that

13 ahnimouh ni khocanaw a dum awh e hah, nange BAWIPA Cathut ni na o nahanelah na poe e kho buetbuet touh dawk kamthang na thai pawiteh, hote kong hah kamcengcalah na pacei han.

certain wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods,” which you have not known,

14 Kamthang na thai e patetlah kamceng boilah, hot patet e panuettho e hno sak katang pawiteh,

then you shall inquire, investigate, and ask diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination was done among you,

15 hote khocanaw hah tahloi hoi na thei han. Khopui hoi khopui dawk kaawm e tami hoi saringnaw pueng koung na raphoe han.

you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.

16 Na lawp awh e hnopainaw pueng kho lungui lam dawk na hmouk awh vaiteh, hote khopui dawk hoi na lawp awh e pueng, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut hanelah hmai na sawi awh han. Hote khopui teh songnawng lah pou ao han. A hnukkhu bout kangdout mahoeh toe.

You shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, with all of its plunder, to the LORD your God. It shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.

17 BAWIPA ni a lungkhueknae hue a roum sak teh, na mintoenaw koe lawkkam e patetlah na rungngang vaiteh na pungdaw sak nahanelah, thoebo e hno buet touh boehai lat laipalah, abuemlahoi na tâkhawng han.

Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand, that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy, and have compassion on you and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers,

18 Sahnin kai ni lawk na thui e patetlah BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah ngâi awh nateh, kâpoelawk pueng hah na tarawi vaiteh, BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah, kalan e hno hah sak awh nateh, BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah tarawi awh.

when you listen to the LORD your God’s voice, to keep all his commandments which I command you today, to do that which is right in the LORD your God’s eyes.
