Deuteronomy 32
1 Aw vannawk, tahngai oh, lok ka thuih han vop; Aw long, ka pakha thung ih loknawk hae, tahngai ah.
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 Ka patukhaih loe kho baktiah angzo ueloe, ka thuih ih lok doeh dantui baktiah krah tih; aan kahing nuiah kakrah kho baktih, qam nuiah kakrah khotui baktiah om tih;
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Angraeng ih ahmin to ka thuih moe, aicae Sithaw lensawkhaih to ka pakoeh han.
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 Anih loe lungsong ah oh moe, a toksakhaih doeh akoep; a caehhaih loklamnawk loe toeng boih; anih loe loktang Sithaw ah oh moe, hmuen sakpazaehaih tawn ai, anih loe katoeng kami ah oh, toeng ai tiah thuih koi tidoeh om ai.
[He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right [is] he.
5 Nihcae loe amro o boeh; Sithaw ih caa ah om o ai, amhnong o boeh; nihcae loe oepthok ai moe, poekhaih katoeng ai caa ah ni oh o.
They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Aw palunghahaih tawn ai amthu kaminawk, Angraeng loe to tiah maw na sak pathok o han? Anih loe nangcae zaehoikung ampa ah na ai maw oh? Nangcae sahkung hoi caksakkung ah na ai maw a oh?
Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? [is] not he thy father [that] hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Canghnii ih atue to panoek oh loe, kalaem tangcae paroeai atuenawk to poek oh; nam pa to dueng ah, anih mah na patuek tih; kacoehtanawk to dueng oh, nihcae mah na thui o tih.
Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 Kasang koek Sithaw loe Adam ih caa ah kaom kaminawk to tapraek moe, qawk pazet naah, Israel caanawk loe nazetto maw oh o, tiah a khet, to pacoengah kaminawk hanah ramri to pakhoih pae.
When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 Angraeng ih taham loe, angmah ih kaminawk hae ni; Jokob loe anih ih qawk toepkung ah oh.
For the LORD’s portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the lot of his inheritance.
10 Anih mah tidoeh om ai long karoem, praezaek ah Jakob to hnuk naah, anih to zaeh moe, loklam patuek; angmah ih mikmu baktiah a suek.
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 Tahmu loe angmah ih tabu to ahuenh moe, a caanawk to pakhraeh hoiah hawh; a caanawk khuk hanah pakhraeh phok moe, pakhraeh hoiah a caanawk lak baktih toengah,
As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 Jakob loe Angraeng angmah khue mah ni zaeh; anih khaeah prae kalah sithawnawk om o ai.
[So] the LORD alone did lead him, and [there was] no strange god with him.
13 Anih to maesang ah anghnutsak moe, prae thung ih thingthai hoiah pacah, cathaeng pong ih khoitui hoiah pacah pacoengah, kamtak parai thlung thung ih situi hoiah pacah;
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 kamkhawk maitaw tahnutui, tuu tahnu tui, tuu caa athawk, Bashan ih tuu taenawk, maehnawk, kahoih koek takaw dip hoiah pacah; pacii ih misurtui athii to a naek.
Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 Toe Jeshurun loe thawk hruk moe, khok hoiah pathuih; nang loe na thawk hruk, na qoeng tahang moe, athawk hoiah na koi; to pacoengah anih sahkung Sithaw to caehtaak moe, anih pahlonghaih thlung to tiah doeh sah ai.
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness; ] then he forsook God [which] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 Anih to prae kalah sithawnawk hoi utsak moe, panuet thok krangnawk hoiah palungphuisak.
They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 Sithaw ah kaom ai, taqawknawk, panoek ai ih sithawnawk, ampanawk mah zii o ai ih, canghni pangah kaom kangtha sithawnawk khaeah, angbawnhaih to a sak o.
They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Nangcae sahkung lungsong to na panoek o ai boeh moe, nangcae cunkung Sithaw doeh na pahnet o boeh.
Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 To hmuennawk to Angraeng mah hnuk naah, palungphui moe, a capanawk hoi a canunawk to pahnawt sut.
And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them], because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 Nihcae khae hoi mikhmai ka hawk han boeh; nihcae boenghaih kawbang maw om tih, tiah ka khet han; nihcae loe oep kaom ai kami, tanghaih cak ai caa ah oh o.
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end [shall be: ] for they [are] a very froward generation, children in whom [is] no faith.
21 Sithaw ah kaom ai hmuen hoiah kai utsak hanah a sak o moe, tidoeh angcoeng ai krang hoiah kai palung ang phui o sak; kaimah doeh nihcae to tiah kaom ai kaminawk hoiah ka utsak moe, kamthu acaengnawk hoiah palung ka phuisak toeng han.
They have moved me to jealousy with [that which is] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with [those which are] not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 Kai loe hmai baktiah palungphui amngaeh pongah, kahnaem koek hell thung khoek to kangh tih; long hoi thingthainawk boih hmai ka kanghsak han, mae angdoethaih ahmuen khoek to hmai mah kangh tih. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Nihcae nuiah raihaih ka phaksak moe, nihcae kah hanah kaimah ih pala to ka patoh han.
I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 Nihcae loe zok amthlamhaih, kabae hmai mah kanghaih, kanung parai amrohaih hoiah dueh o tih; moi kasannawk ih haa hoi maiphu thungah kaom pahui kasoetui to nihcae khaeah ka patoeh han.
[They shall be] burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 Thendoengnawk, kacuem tanglanawk, nawktanawk hoi sampok mitongnawk hanah loe imthung ah zithaih to om ueloe, tasang bangah sumsen hoiah amro o boih tih.
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling [also] with the man of gray hairs.
26 Long boeng khoek to nihcae to ka haek moe, kaminawk panoekhaih kang hmatsak han;
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 toe nihcae ih misanawk loe amoek o ueloe, nihcae mah, Angraeng mah sak ih hmuen tidoeh om ai, kacak kaimacae ih ban hoiah ni ka pazawk o, tiah thuih o moeng tih, tiah ka zit tiah, a thuih.
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they should say, Our hand [is] high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
28 Nihcae loe poekhaih tawn ai kami, panoekhaih tawn ai kami ah oh o.
For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is there any] understanding in them.
29 Aw nihcae palungha o nahaeloe, hae hmuen hae panoek o ueloe, hnukkhuem ah kawbangah maw om tih, tito panoek o tih, tiah a thuih.
O that they were wise, [that] they understood this, [that] they would consider their latter end!
30 Angmacae ih lungsong mah nihcae to zaw ai moe, Angraeng mah nihcae pahnawt ai nahaeloe, kawbang maw kami maeto mah kami sangto patom thai ueloe, kami hnetto mah kami sang hato cawnsak thai tih?
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 Aicae ih misanawk lokcaek ah om o cadoeh, nihcae ih thlung loe aicae ih thlung hoiah anghmong ai.
For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves [being] judges.
32 Anih ih misurkung loe Sodom hoi Gomorrah lawk hoi angzo misurkung ah oh; nihcae ih misurthaih loe khaa moe, misur abomnawk doeh khaa parai.
For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are] bitter:
33 Nihcae ih misurtui loe pahui pui ih kasoe tui hoi pahui sae ih kasoe ah oh.
Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Hae hmuen loe kai khaeah suek moe, kai ih hmuen pakuemhaih ahmuen ah tacik daeng boeh na ai maw?
[Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed up among my treasures?
35 Lu lakhaih hoi sakpazaehaih baktih toengah sak pathok lethaih loe kai ih tok ah ni oh; nihcae loe atue phak naah amthaek o tih; nihcae amrohaih atue loe zoi boeh moe, nihcae mah tongh han ih hmuen doeh karangah angzo tih boeh.
To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 Anih ih tamnanawk loe thaboeng o sut boeh, Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk to lokcaek ueloe, thongkrah kami hoi kaloih kami maeto doeh om mak ai, tiah panoek naah, a tamnanawk pongah dawnpakhuemhaih tawn tih.
For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none shut up, or left.
37 Anih mah, Nihcae ih sithawnawk hoi abuephaih lungsong loe naa ah maw oh?
And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock in whom they trusted,
38 Angbawnhaih athawk kacaa kaminawk hoi naek hanah bokhaih misurtui nae kaminawk loe naa ah maw oh o boih boeh? Nihcae angthawk o nasoe, nangcae to abomh o nasoe loe, pakaa o nasoe khae, tiah thui tih.
Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be your protection.
39 Khenah, Kai loe Sithaw ah Ka oh! Kai pacoengah kalah sithaw roe om ai boeh; Kai mah ka dueksak moe, Kai mah ni ka hingsak let; Kai mah ahma ka caaksak moe, Kai mah ni ka hoihsak let; ka ban thung hoi pahlong thaih kami mi doeh om ai.
See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.
40 Van bangah ban ka payangh moe, kai loe dungzan ah ka hingh baktih toengah,
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 kampha suidik sumsen to ka taak moe, ka ban hoiah lokcaekhaih to ka sak; ka misanawk to lu ka lak moe, kai hnuma kaminawk nuiah kating ah lu ka lak han,
If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 kai ih palanawk to kami athii ka naeksak moe, ka sumsen to kami ngan ka caaksak han; hum ih kami hoi naeh ih kaminawk ih athii, misa zaehoikung ih lunawk to ka takroek han, tiah lok ka thuih.
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; [and that] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Aw prae kaminawk, Angraeng ih kaminawk hoi nawnto anghoe oh; anih loe a tamnanawk ih athii tho to la ueloe, a misanawk nuiah lu la tih; angmah ih prae hoi kaminawk nuiah palungnathaih tawn tih.
Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, [and] to his people.
44 Mosi loe Nun capa Hoshea hoi nawnto angzoh hoi moe, kaminawk boih mah thaih hanah, hae laa loknawk hae a thuih pae hoi boih.
And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah hae loknawk thuih pae boih pacoengah,
And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 nihcae khaeah, Vaihniah nangcae khae ka thuih ih loknawk boih hae palung thungah pakuem oh; to tiah ni hae ih kaaloknawk hae kahoih ah na pazui o thai boih ueloe, na caanawk khaeah doeh na thui pae o thai tih.
And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 Hae loe nangcae han avang ai hmuen na ai ni; nangcae hinghaih ah ni oh; Jordan vapui nang kat o moe, na toep o han koi prae thungah hae hmuen hae na pakuem o nahaeloe, na hinglung sawk o tih, tiah a naa.
For it [is] not a vain thing for you; because it [is] your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48 To na niah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49 Jeriko vangpui pacoengah kaom, Moab prae Abarim maesang ih Nebo maesom nuiah daw tahang ah loe, Israel kaminawk khaeah qawk ah toep han ka paek ih, Kanaan prae to dan ah;
Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, [unto] mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50 nang loe na dawh tahang ih mae nuiah na dueh tih, nam ya Aaron loe Hor mae nuiah duek moe, angmah ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah angkuem baktih toengah, nang doeh nangmah ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah nang kuem toeng tih:
And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51 nanghnik loe Zin praezaek ah, Meribah-Kadesh ahmuen ih tuipuek taengah, Israel kaminawk hma ah tang han koi kaom ai ah tok to na sak hoi moe, Israel kaminawk hma ah Kai kaciim ah nang suem hoi ai pongah,
Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 prae to kangthla ahmuen hoi khue ni na dan tih; Israel caanawk khaeah ka paek ih prae thungah na kun mak ai, tiah a naa.
Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee; ] but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
