Deuteronomy 31
1 To pacoengah Mosi mah Israel kaminawk boih khaeah caeh moe, hae loknawk hae a thuih pae.
And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel;
2 Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Kai loe vaihi saning cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto ka oh boeh pongah, nangcae zaehhoih hanah angcoeng thai ai boeh; Angraeng mah doeh kai khaeah, Nang loe hae Jordan vapui nang kat thai mak ai, tiah ang naa boeh.
and he said unto them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day, I can no more go out and come in; and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
3 Nangmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to nangcae hma ah caeh ueloe, haeah kaom prae kaminawk to nangmacae hma roe ah na hum pae ueloe, nihcae ih prae to na toep o tih: Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Joshua loe nangcae hma ah caeh tih.
Jehovah thy God, he will go over before thee, he will destroy these nations from before thee, that thou mayest take possession of them: Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Jehovah hath said.
4 Amor kaminawk ih siangpahrang Sihon hoi Og ih, prae nuiah amrohaih phaksak baktih toengah, Angraeng mah to kaminawk nuiah sah toeng tih.
And Jehovah will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.
5 Nihcae to Angraeng mah nangcae khaeah paek ueloe, kang paek ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae nuiah na sah o tih.
And when Jehovah giveth them up before you, ye shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
6 Na thacak o sak ah loe, misahoihaih hoiah om oh; mawn o hmah loe, nihcae to zii o hmah; na Angraeng Sithaw loe nangcae hoi nawnto caeh tih, anih mah na caeh o taak mak ai ueloe, pahnawt sut mak ai, tiah a naa.
Be strong and courageous, fear them not, neither be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God, he it is that goeth with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.
7 To pacoengah Mosi mah Joshua to kawk moe, Israel kaminawk boih hma ah, Na thacaksak ah loe, misahoihaih hoiah om ah; nang loe hae kaminawk khaeah paek hanah, Angraeng mah ampanawk khaeah lokkam ih prae thungah, hae kaminawk hae na caeh haih ueloe, nihcae han qawk na toepsak tih.
And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for thou must go with this people into the land which Jehovah hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
8 Angraeng angmah roe nangcae hmaa ah caeh ueloe, anih na om o thui tih; anih mah na caehtaak mak ai ueloe, pahnawt sut mak ai; zii o hmah loe, palung doeh boeng o sak hmah, tiah a naa.
And Jehovah, he it is that goeth before thee: he will be with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
9 Mosi mah hae kaaloknawk tarik pacoengah, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu kami, Levi acaeng, qaimanawk hoi Israel kacoehtanawk khaeah paek.
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.
10 To pacoengah Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, saning sarihto boeng boeh moe, misong loisakhaih saning, kahni im raenghhaih atue phak naah,
And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, at the set time of the year of release, at the feast of tabernacles,
11 Israel kaminawk boih Angraeng angmah qoih ih ahmuen ah, Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah amtueng hanah nang zoh o naah, Israel kaminawk mah thaih o boih hanah, nihcae hma ah hae kaaloknawk hae kroek pae oh.
when all Israel cometh to appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he will choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their ears.
12 Nongpa, nongpata, nawktanawk hoi na vangpui thungah kaom angvinnawk boih mah thaih o moe, panoek o thai han, na Angraeng Sithaw to zit o moe, hae kaaloknawk hae pazui o thai boih hanah, kaminawk to nawnto amkhuengsak ah;
Gather the people together, the men, and the women, and the children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Jehovah your God, and take heed to do all the words of this law;
13 to tiah sak nahaeloe kaalok panoek ai kaminawk ih caanawk mah thaih o ueloe, Jordan vapui nang kat o moe, na toep o han ih prae thungah na oh o nathung, na Angraeng Sithaw zithaih to amtuk o tih, tiah a naa.
and that their children who do not know it may hear it and learn, that they may fear Jehovah your God, as long as ye live in the land, whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.
14 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Na duek han ih atue loe zoi boeh; Joshua to kawk ah loe kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah angzo haih ah, to ah lok ka thuih pae han, tiah a naa. To pongah Mosi hoi Joshua loe angzoh hoi moe, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah a caeh hoi.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, the days are near for thee to die; call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.
15 To naah Angraeng loe kahni imthung ah tamai tung baktiah amtueng; tamai tung loe kahni im thok nuiah angdoet pae.
And Jehovah appeared at the tent in the pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.
16 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Khenah, Nang loe nam panawk khaeah nang hak tih boeh; hae kaminawk loe angthawk o ueloe, a caeh o han ih prae thungah kaom kaminawk ih sithawnawk khaeah a takpum zaw o tih; kai to pahnawt o ueloe, nihcae hoi ka sak ih ka lokmaihaih doeh amkhraeng o taak tih.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land into which they enter, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 To na niah loe nihcae nuiah palung ka phui moe, nihcae to ka pahnawt sut han; nihcae khae hoi mikhmai ka hawk naah loe, nihcae to amro o tih, nihcae nuiah paroeai sethaih hoi raihaihnawk to pha tih; to naah nihcae mah aicae ih Sithaw loe aicae khaeah om ai boeh pongah na ai maw hae baktih raihaih hae aicae nuiah oh? tiah thui o tih.
And my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, and they will say in that day, Have not these evils befallen me because my God is not in my midst?
18 Nihcae loe kalah sithawnawk khaeah angqoi o ving moe, a sak o ih zaehaih boih pongah, to na niah loe nihcae khae hoi mikhmai ka hawk ving tangtang han.
And I will entirely hide my face in that day for all the evils that they have wrought, because they turned unto other gods.
19 To pongah vaihi hae laa hae tarik hoih, Israel kaminawk ih pakha thungah suem paeh loe, amtuksak ah; hae laa loe Israel kaminawk ih misa ah ka ohhaih hnukung ah om tih.
And now, write ye this song, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20 Tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae, ampanawk khaeah paek han lokkam ih prae thungah nihcae to ka hoih; nihcae mah zok kamhah ah buh to caak o moe, thawk o hruk naah loe, kai palungphuisak hanah, ka lokkamhaih to amkhraeng o taak ving tih, kalah sithawnawk khaeah angqoi o ueloe, a tok to sah pae o tih.
For I shall bring them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, which floweth with milk and honey; and they will eat and fill themselves, and wax fat, and will turn unto other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
21 Nihcae nuiah paroeai sethaih hoi raihaihnawk phak naah, nihcae ih misa ah ka ohhaih to hae laa mah amtuengsak tih; nihcae ih caanawk mah hae laa hae pahnet o mak ai; ka lokkamhaih prae thungah nihcae ka caeh haih ai naah, vaihi roe nihcae poekhaih to ka panoek pae boeh, tiah a naa.
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; for I know their imagination which they are forming already this day, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn [unto them].
22 To pongah Mosi mah to na ni roe ah laa to tarik moe, Israel caanawk to patuk.
And Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
23 Angraeng mah Nun capa Joshua khaeah, Na thacaksak ah loe, misahoihaih hoiah om ah; nihcae khaeah lokkam ih prae thungah Israel kaminawk to na caeh haih tih; to naah Kai nangcae hoi nawnto ka oh han, tiah a naa.
And [Jehovah] commanded Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and courageous; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have sworn unto them; and I will be with thee.
24 Mosi mah hae ih kaaloknawk boeng khoek to cabu pongah tarik pacoengah,
And it came to pass, when Moses had ended writing the words of this law in a book, until their conclusion,
25 Mosi mah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu, Levi acaengnawk khaeah,
that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,
26 hae ih kaalok cabu hae la oh loe, na Angraeng Sithaw lokkamhaih thingkhong taengah suem oh; anih loe to ah nangcae ih misa ah ka ohhaih hnukung ah om tih.
Take this book of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee;
27 Nangcae loe lokaek thaih kami hoi palungthah kami ah na oh o, tito ka panoek; khenah, vaihniah nangcae hoi nawnto ka hing nathuem ah mataeng doeh, Angraeng ih lok to na aek o nahaeloe, ka duek pacoeng naah cae loe, kawkruk maw lok na aek o tih?
for I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck. Lo, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah; and how much more after my death!
28 Na caeng thung ih kacoehtanawk hoi ukkungnawk to ka hma ah amkhuengsak boih ah; nihcae thaih naah hae loknawk hae ka thuih moe, nihcae ih misa ah ka ohhaih panoekkung ah van hoi long to ka kawk han.
Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and take heaven and earth to witness against them.
29 Nangcae loe ka duek pacoengah nam ro o ueloe, kang paek ih loklam to nang qoi o taak tih, tito ka panoek; hnukkhuem niah, Angraeng mikhnuk ah kahoih ai hmuennawk to na sah o ueloe, na ban hoi sak ih hmuennawk mah anih palung na phui o sak pongah, nangcae nuiah amrohaih to pha tih, tiah a naa.
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and will turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and mischief will befall you at the end of days; because ye do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
30 To pacoengah Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah, hae laa loknawk hae takung hoi tadong khoek to thuih pae boih.
And Moses spoke in the ears of the whole congregation of Israel the words of this song, until their conclusion.
