¹These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess it, all the days that you live on the earth.

¹TOUPA na pi leh pute uh Pathianin a honpiak gam na luah ua, leitunga na om sung ua pilvang taka na zuih ding uh dan te leh vaihawm dante hiaite ahi uh.

²You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree:

²Na valuah ding uh gam namten tang lian khawng, tang neu khawng, sing hing chih nuai khawnga a pathiante uh na a sepna mun tengteng uh na hihsiat vek ding uh ahi:

³and you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods; and you shall destroy their name out of that place.

³A maitamte uh na chim sak dingua, a Aser te uh na hal ding uh ahi; a pathiam lim bawl tawmte uh na phuk sak ding ua, huaia a min uh na gitmang ding uhi.

⁴You shall not do so to Yahweh your God.

⁴Huchibangin TOUPA na Pathian uh tungah na hih ding uh ahi.

⁵But to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation you shall seek, and there you shall come;

⁵TOUPA na Pathian un na nam tengteng lak ua a min omna dia a mun seh ding na zon jawk ding uh, huaia nahoh ding uh ahi.

⁶and there you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock:

⁶Huaiah na halmang thillat te uh, na thuchiam te uh, na ut thu ua thillat te, na gan hon uh leh nabelam hon lak ua piang masapente na hontawi ding ahi:

⁷and there you shall eat before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which Yahweh your God has blessed you.

⁷Huan, huaiah TOUPA na Pathian uh maah na ne ding ua, na khut koihnapeuh ua TOUPA na Pathian un vual a honjawlnaah nuamsa takin na om ding ua, na inkuan un.

⁸You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;

⁸Michih in amau chiat hoih sakdan banga tua i hih banga na hih ding uh ahi kei;

⁹for you haven’t yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Yahweh your God gives you.

⁹TOUPA na Pathian un nou a honpiak gam leh khawlna lah na tung naita dih ngal kei ua.

¹⁰But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies around you, so that you dwell in safety;

¹⁰Jordan lui na galkah ua, TOUPA na Pathian un a honluah sak ding gama na om ua, bit taka na om theihna ding ua na kim ua melma tengteng laka a honkhawlsak chiangin bel hichi ahi dinga;

¹¹then it shall happen that to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to Yahweh.

¹¹TOUPA na Pathian un a min omsakna ding a sehna muna hontawi dinga ka chih tengteng huaiah a hontawi ding uh ahi, na halmang thillat te uh, na kithoihnate uh, na sawm ua khat te, na ankuanglui-vei thillat te, TOUPA kianga na chiam hoih tatate uh;

¹²You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

¹²Huan, TOUPA na Pathian uh maah nuamsa takin na om ding ua, noumau leh na tapate uh, na tanute uh toh, na sikhapate uh, na sikhanute utoh, na in ua om, Levite toh, amau lah na lak uah tantuan leh gam a nei ngal kei ua.

¹³Take heed to yourself that you don’t offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;

¹³Mun na muh peuh ua na halmang thillatte uh lan mawkmawk lou dingin pilvang un:

¹⁴but in the place which Yahweh shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.

¹⁴Na namte uh laka TOUPAN a seh ding munah nahalmang thillat te uh na lan zo ding ua, huailaiah thu ka honpiak tengteng na hih ding uhi.

¹⁵Notwithstanding, you may kill and eat flesh within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to the blessing of Yahweh your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart.

¹⁵Ahihhangin TOUPA na Pathian un vual jawlna a hon muhsak bang jelin na hinna un a lunggulh gulh na in chiat uah na gou ding ua, a sa na ne thei ding uh; siangthou loute leh siangthouten leng sangai khawng, sakhi khawngbang a ne thei ding uh.

¹⁶Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.

¹⁶A sisan jaw na ne ding uh ahi kei; tui bangin lei ah na sung baw ding uhi.

¹⁷You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand;

¹⁷Na in uah sawm khat, na buh te uh, na uain te uh. Na thau te uh leh na ganhon uh leh belam hon laka piang masapen te, na thuchiam uate, na utthu ua thillat te, na ankuang-vei thillat te uh jaw na ne theikei ding uh:

¹⁸but you shall eat them before Yahweh your God in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God in all that you put your hand to.

¹⁸TOUPA na Pathian un a mun seh dingah, TOUPA na Pathian uh maah na ne zo ding uhi, noute leh na tapate uh leh na tanute uh, na sikhapa te uh, na sikhanu te uh, na in ua om Levite toh; TOUPA na Pathian ma uah na khut ngakna peuhmah uah nuamsa takin na om ding uhi.

¹⁹Take heed to yourself that you don’t forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.

¹⁹Na gam ua na om sung teng un Levite limsak lou lou dingin pilvang un.

²⁰When Yahweh your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, “I want to eat meat,” because your soul desires to eat meat; you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.

²⁰TOUPA na Pathian un a honchiam banga na gam uh ahihzata, na hinna un sa nek aut jiaka, Sa ka ne ding, na chih hun chiang un, na hinna un a lunggulh lam peuhpeuh sa ne thei ding uh.

²¹If the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to put his name there, is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.

²¹TOUPA na Pathian un a min omna a seh ding na gamlet luah uleh, thu ka honpiak bangin TOUPAN a honpiak na gan hon uleh na belam hon lak ua na gou dingua, na hinna un a lunggulh lampang na in uah na ne ding uhi.

²²Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so you shall eat of it: the unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.

²²Sangai sa bang, sakhi sa bang a kine bangin na ne ding ua, siangthou loute leh siangthoute leng kibangin na ne ding uhi.

²³Only be sure that you don’t eat the blood: for the blood is the life; and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.

²³Sisan jaw ne lou dingin pilvang un; sisan lah hinna ahi ngala; hinna nangawn toh sa na ne ding uh ahi kei.

²⁴You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.

²⁴Na ne mahmah ding uh ahi kei; tui bangin lei ah na sungbaw mai ding uhi.

²⁵You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.

²⁵Na ne ding uh ahi kei; huchiin TOUPA mitmuha thil dik na hih un noumau leh na nung ua na tate uh adingin a honghoih ding hi.

²⁶Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go to the place which Yahweh shall choose:

²⁶Na thil siangthou te uh leh na thuchiam uate kia tawi unla, TOUPAN a mun seh dingah hoh un:

²⁷and you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God; and you shall eat the flesh.

²⁷Huan, TOUPA na Pathian uh maitamah na halmang thillat uh, a sa leh a sisan na lan ding ua; huan, na kithoihna sisante uh TOUPA na Pathian uh maitamah na sung khe ding ua, a sa na ne ding uh.

²⁸Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.

²⁸Hiai kon thupiak tengteng limsak unla, ngaikhia un, huchiin TOUPA na Pathian uh mitmuha thilhoih leh thil dik na hih un nou ding leh na nung ua na tate uh adingin khantawnin honghoih jelding hi.

²⁹When Yahweh your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and dwell in their land;

²⁹TOUPA na Pathian un na vazoh ding uh namte a honhih man saka, a gam uh na luah ua, na ten huin chiang un;

³⁰take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.”

³⁰Hihmana a omnabang ua na awk khak louhna ding un pilvang unla, Hiai namten bangchiin ahia a pathian na uh a sep uh? A chih bang un en leng i chi tei dinguh, chiin a pathiante uh tungtang kan kei un.

³¹You shall not do so to Yahweh your God: for every abomination to Yahweh, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.

³¹Huchibangin TOUPA na Pathian tunguah na hih ding uh ahi kei; a pathian tunguah TOUPA theiha thil kihhuai chiteng, a huat mahmahte a hih jel ua; a tapate uh, a tanute ngei uh leng a pathiante uh dingin a hal jel uhi.Hih dinga ka honthupiak peuh na hih ding uh ahi; na behlap ding uh ahi kei, na tawmsak dinguh leng ahi kei.

³²Whatever thing I command you, that you shall observe to do: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

³²Hih dinga ka honthupiak peuh na hih ding uh ahi; na behlap ding uh ahi kei, na tawmsak dinguh leng ahi kei.
