¹Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

¹Laj Moisés quixye reheb: —Anakcuan ut ex aj Israel, cherabihak li chakßrab ut li tijleb li yôquin chixyebal êre. Chebânuhak li cßaßru naxye li chakßrab re nak tâcuânk lê yußam ut tex-oc saß li naßajej li tixqßue êre li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb li kaxeßtônil yucuaß.

²Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

²Incßaß têrisi junak âtin saß xyânkeb li tinye êre chi moco têqßue xtzßakob. Chebânu chi tzßakal li naxye lix chakßrab li Kâcuaß lê Dios, li yôquin chixyebal êre.

³Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

³Lâex queril riqßuin xnakß êru li cßaßru quixbânu li Kâcuaß aran Baal-peor nak quixqßueheb chi sachecß chixjunileb li queßlokßonin re li jalanil dios Baal-peor.

⁴But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

⁴Abanan chêjunilex lâex li incßaß quetzßektâna li Kâcuaß toj yoßyôquex anakcuan.

⁵Behold, 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.

⁵Qßuehomak retal. Lâin quinchßolob chêru chixjunil li quixye li Kâcuaß ut quincßut chêru chixjunil lix chakßrab li Dios joß quinixtakla cuiß. Chebânu chixjunil lix chakßrab li Kâcuaß nak ac cuânkex saß li naßajej li oc êre chirêchaninquil anakcuan.

⁶Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

⁶Cheqßue êchßôl chixbânunquil lê taklanquil xban li Kâcuaß xban nak cui têbânu chi joßcan chixjunileb li tenamit teßxqßue retal nak cuan ênaßleb. Eb aßan teßrabi resil lix chakßrab li Dios ut teßxye: “Relic chi yâl li nimla tenamit aßan cuanqueb xnaßleb ut nequeßxnau xyâlal” chaßkeb.

⁷For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

⁷¿Ma cuan ta biß junak tenamit tâqßuehekß xcuanquil xban lix dioseb joß nak naxqßue kacuanquil lâo li Kâcuaß li kaDios? Li kaDios lâo naxqßue ke li cßaßru nakatzßâma chiru nak nakayâba lix cßabaß.

⁸And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

⁸Ut, ¿Ma cuan ta biß junak tenamit cuan xcuanquil xban nak cuan lix chakßrab kßaxal tîc ut châbil joß li kachakßrab lâo li xincßut chêru anakcuan?

⁹Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

⁹Joßcan nak junelic taxak cuânk saß êchßôl li cßaßru xeril joß najtil yoßyôkex ut incßaß taxak tâsachk saß êchßôl. Ut junelic taxak têserakßi reheb lê ralal êcßajol li cßaßru quixbânu li Kâcuaß.

¹⁰Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, 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.

¹⁰Chijulticokß êre li cutan nak quexinchßutub chiru li Kâcuaß lê Dios aran Horeb nak quixye cue li Kâcuaß, “Chßutubeb chixjunileb li tenamit re teßrabi lin chakßrab re nak teßxqßue inlokßal joß najtil chic yoßyôkeb. Ut re ajcuiß nak teßxcßut chiruheb li ralal xcßajol”, chan li Dios.

¹¹And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

¹¹Lâex xexcôex saß xtôn li tzûl ut aran quexxakli ut li tzûl yô xxamlel. Li xam quicuulac toj saß choxa ut kßojyîn chic ru li cutan xban li sib ut li kßeki chok.

¹²And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.

¹²Ut li Kâcuaß quiâtinac êriqßuin saß li xam. Lâex querabi li xyâb xcux li Kâcuaß abanan incßaß queril ru.

¹³And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

¹³Ut li Dios quixbânu li contrato êriqßuin ut quixqßue êre li lajêb chi chakßrab li quixtzßîba chiru li cuib perêl li pec tîc ru. Quixye êre nak tento têbânu li cßaßru naxye li chakßrab.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴Li Kâcuaß quixye cue nak tento tincßut chêru chixjunil li chakßrab re nak têbânu nak ac cuânkex chic saß li naßajej li oc êre chirêchaninquil anakcuan.

¹⁵Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

¹⁵Nak li Dios quiâtinac êriqßuin saß li xam saß li tzûl Sinaí, incßaß queßril ru chi tzßakal. Caßaj cuiß lix yâb xcux querabi. Chebânuhak cuênt.

¹⁶Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

¹⁶Mêmux êrib riqßuin xyîbanquil li jalanil dios. Mêyîb li jalam ûch re têlokßoni, chi moco lix jalam ûch li cuînk, chi moco li ixk.

¹⁷The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

¹⁷Chi moco têyîb xjalam ûch li xul li cuanqueb saß ruchichßochß, chi moco li xul li nequeßrupupic chiru choxa,

¹⁸The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

¹⁸chi moco li nequeßxjucuqui ribeb saß chßochß, chi moco li car li cuanqueb saß haß.

¹⁹And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

¹⁹Nak têril li choxa, li sakße, li po, ut li chahim, mêlokßoniheb xban nak li Kâcuaß lê Dios quixyîb eb aßan re nak teßcßanjelak chiruheb chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß ruchichßochß.

²⁰But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

²⁰Abanan lâex sicßbil êru xban li Kâcuaß. Aßan qui-isin chak êre saß li naßajej Egipto, li chanchan tikcual xam xban li raylal li quecßul. Quexrisi chak re nak texcuânk chokß xtenamit. Ut relic chi yâl nak lâex chic lix tenamit anakcuan.

²¹Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

²¹Li Kâcuaß Dios quijoskßoß cuiqßuin êmâc lâex ut quixye nak relic chi yâl incßaß naru tinnumekß lâin jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán re tin-oc saß li châbil naßajej li yô chixqßuebal êre re têrêchani.

²²But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

²²Lâin tincâmk saß li naßajej aßin. Incßaß tinnumekß jun pacßal li nimaß. Abanan lâex texxic ut têrêchani li châbil naßajej aßan.

²³Take heed unto 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.

²³Chebânu cuênt re nak incßaß tâsachk saß êchßôl li contrato li quixbânu li Kâcuaß lê Dios êriqßuin. Mêyîb êpechßbil dios joß xjalam ûch li cßaßak re ru li quixye li Dios nak incßaß naru têlokßoni,

²⁴For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

²⁴xban nak li Kâcuaß lê Dios najoskßoß nak nequelokßoni li jalanil dios. Chanchan jun li xam li naxsach chixjunil li incßaß us.

²⁵When 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:

²⁵Mokon chic nak ac xenumsi nabal chihab saß li châbil naßajej ut nak ac cuânkeb chic lê ralal êcßajol, mexmâcob riqßuin xyîbanquil lê pechßbil dios ut yalak cßaßru chi jalam ûchil. Aßan mâc chiru li Kâcuaß lê Dios ut tâjoskßok saß êbên cui têbânu chi joßcan.

²⁶I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

²⁶Cutan saken chiru li choxa ut li ruchichßochß nak yâl li yôquin chixyebal êre. Cui lâex têyîb lê pechßbil dios, saß junpât tâsachekß êru. Incßaß najt texcuânk saß li chßochß li oc êre chirêchaninquil nak texnumekß jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán.

²⁷And 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.

²⁷Li Kâcuaß Dios tixchaßchaßi êru saß eb li jalan tenamit ut moco qßuihex ta chic li texcanâk chi yoßyo saß eb li naßajej li texcßamekß cuiß xban li Kâcuaß.

²⁸And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

²⁸Ut saß li naßajej li texcßamekß cuiß texcßanjelak chiruheb li dios li yîbanbil xbaneb li cuînk riqßuin cheß ut pec. Eb li dios aßan incßaß nequeßiloc, incßaß nequeßabin, incßaß nequeßcuaßac ut incßaß nequeßutzßuc.

²⁹But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

²⁹Abanan cui têsicß li Kâcuaß lê Dios nak cuânkex chak saß jalan tenamit, têtau cui têsicß chi anchal êchßôl ut chi anchal êrâm.

³⁰When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

³⁰Mokon chic nak ac xecßul chixjunil li raylal aßin, cui lâex texsukßîk riqßuin li Kâcuaß lê Dios ut têbânu li cßaßru naxye, aßan târuxtâna êru.

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 sware unto them.

³¹Li Kâcuaß incßaß textzßektâna chi moco tixsach êru xban nak aßan junelic jultic re li contrato li quixbânu riqßuineb lê xeßtônil yucuaß.

³²For 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 unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

³²Chetzol rix chi us li cßaßru quicßulman nak toj mâjiß nequexyoßla chak. Chetzol rix chi us chalen nak quixyoßobtesi chak li cuînk li Dios ut chalen anakcuan. Têsiqßui saß chixjunil li ruchichßochß. ¿Ma ac quicßulman ta biß jun sutak chi joßcaßin junxil? ¿Ma êrabiom ta biß aßin jun sutak junxil?

³³Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

³³¿Ma cuanqueb ta biß jalan tenamit queßabin re nak li Dios quiâtinac chak saß li xam ut incßaß queßcam xban? Abanan lâex querabi nak quiâtinac li Dios ut incßaß quexcam.

³⁴Or hath God assayed 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 a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

³⁴¿Ma cuan ta biß junak Dios quixsicß ta ru junak tenamit saß xyânkeb li jun chßol chic? Li Dios quixcßutbesi nabal li retalil nak quexrisi chak saß li naßajej Egipto.

³⁵Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.

³⁵Li Kâcuaß quixbânu chixjunil aßin re xcßutbal chêru nak aßan li tzßakal Dios. Ut mâcßaß chic junak Dios. Caßaj cuiß aßan.

³⁶Out 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 heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

³⁶Toj saß choxa quiâtinac chak êriqßuin re xcßutbal chêru cßaßru têbânu. Ut arin saß ruchichßochß quixcßut chêru li xam ut querabi lix yâb xcux saß li xam nak quexrâtina.

³⁷And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;

³⁷Cßajoß nak quixraheb lê xeßtônil yucuaß. Joßcan nak quixsiqßueb ru li ralal xcßajoleb chokß xtenamit. Aßan qui-isin chak êre Egipto riqßuin xnimal xcuanquil.

³⁸To 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.

³⁹Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

⁴⁰Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go 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.

⁴¹Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

⁴¹Ut laj Moisés quixsicß ru oxib li tenamit li cuan jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán saß li este,

⁴²That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbor unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:

⁴²bar naru teßxcol cuiß ribeb li ani naxcamsi ras rîtzßin chi yal incßaß xraj xchßôl. Naru tâxic saß eb li tenamit aßan re tixcol rix lix yußam.

⁴³Namely, 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.

⁴³Li oxib chi tenamit, aßaneb aßin: Beser li cuan saß li ru takßa saß li chaki chßochß reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén; Ramot li cuan saß xcuênt Galaad reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Gad; ut Golán li cuan saß xcuênt Basán reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Manasés.

⁴⁴And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:

⁴⁴Aßan aßin li chakßrab li quixqßue laj Moisés reheb laj Israel.

⁴⁵These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt.

⁴⁵Aßaneb aßin li chakßrab, li xtaklanquileb ut li tijleb li quixqßue laj Moisés nak ac xeßel chak Egipto.

⁴⁶On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:

⁴⁶Toj cuanqueb jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán saß li este chiru li tenamit Bet-peor. Aßan lix naßaj laj Sehón lix reyeb laj amorreo. Laj Sehón quicuan chi taklânc aran Hesbón. Nak queßel chak Egipto, laj Moisés ut eb laj Israel queßnumta saß xbên li rey Sehón.

⁴⁷And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

⁴⁷Eb laj Israel queßrêchani lix naßaj li rey Sehón ut queßrêchani ajcuiß lix naßaj laj Og lix reyeb laj Basán. Aßaneb li cuib xreyeb laj amorreo li queßcuan jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán saß li este.
