Deuteronomy 1
1 Hae lok loe Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth hoi Dihazab vangpui salak, Jordan vapui zaeh ih praezaek, Zuph vangpui hma ih azawn ah, Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih ih lok ah oh.
These are the words, which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan, in the plain wilderness, over against the Red Sea, between Pharan and Thophel and Laban and Haseroth, where there is very much gold:
2 Seir mae lam hoi caeh naah Horeb hoi Kadesh-Barnea karoek to ni hatlaito akra.
Eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Cadesbarne.
3 Mosi mah saning qui pali, khrah hatlaito, amtong tangsuekhaih niah, Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih pae han paek ih loknawk boih to thuih pae;
In the fortieth year, the eleventh month, the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him to say to them:
4 Heshbon vangpui ah kaom, Amor siangpahrang Sihon hoi Edrei prae, Ashtaroth vangpui ah kaom, Bashan siangpahrang Og to hum pacoeng,
After that he had slain Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon: and Og king of Basan who abode in Astaroth, and in Edrai,
5 Jordan vapui zaeh ih Moab prae ah Mosi mah hae kaalok hae taphong pae;
Beyond the Jordan in the land of Moab. And Moses began to expound the law, and to say:
6 aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah Horeb ah aicae khaeah hae tiah thuih; hae mae ah saning sawk parai ah na oh o boeh:
The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have stayed long enough in this mountain:
7 na oh o haih ahmuen hoiah angqoi oh loe, Amor kaminawk ohhaih mae, to mae hoi kanghnai ahmuennawk boih, tangtling ahmuen, mae nui ih ahmuen, azawn ih ahmuen, aloih bang ih prae, tuipui taeng ih ahmuennawk, Kanaan kaminawk ih prae, Lebanon mae hoi kalen parai vapui, Euphrates vapui khoek to caeh oh;
Turn you, and come to the mountain of the Amorrhites, and to the other places that are next to it, the plains and the hills and the vales towards the south, and by the sea shore, the land of the Chanaanites, and of Libanus, as far as the great river Euphrates.
8 khenah, prae loe nangcae hma ah ka suek boeh; caeh oh loe, Angraeng mah nam panawk, Abraham, Issak, Jakob hoi a caanawk khaeah ka paek han, tiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah prae to toep oh, tiah a naa.
Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it, concerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their seed after them.
9 To nathuem ah, Kaimah buengah loe nangcae ih tok to ka phaw thai laek mak ai, tiah kang thuih o boeh.
And I said to you at that time:
10 Na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae ang pung o sak boeh; khenah, nangcae loe vaihi van ih cakaeh zetto nang pung o boeh.
I alone am not able to bear you: for the Lord your God hath multiplied you, and you are this day as the stars of heaven, for multitude.
11 Nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae to alet sangto pungsak nasoe loe, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nangcae tahamhoihaih paek nasoe!
(The Lord God of your fathers add to this number many thousands, and bless you as he hath spoken.)
12 Nangcae lokpunghaih, kazit nangcae ih hmuen hoi nangcae lok aekhaih to kawbang maw kaimah buengah ka phaw thai tih?
I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you and your differences.
13 Palungha kami, panoekhaih tawn kami hoi ahmin amthang kaminawk to nangmacae acaeng thung hoiah qoi oh, nihcae to nangcae ukkung ah kang suek pae han, tiah kang naa o.
Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers.
14 To naah nangcae mah, Sak han nang thuih o ih hmuen loe hoih parai, tiah nang pathim o.
Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.
15 To pongah nangcae acaeng zaehoikung, palungha kaminawk hoi ahmin kamthang kaminawk to ka qoih moe, nangcae zaehoikung, kami sangto zaehoikung, kami cumvaito zaehoikung, kami qui pangato zaehoikung, kami hato zaehoikung tiah kang suek pae o.
And I took out of your tribes men wise and honourable, and appointed them rulers, tribunes, and centurions, and officers over fifties, and over tens, who might teach you all things.
16 To naah lokcaekkungnawk khaeah, Nam nawkamyanawk ih lok to tahngaih moe, nangmacae hoi nawnto kaom nawkamyanawk hoi angvinnawk nuiah toenghaih hoi lokcaek o hanah ka thuih pae.
And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.
17 Lok na caek o naah mikhmai khen o hmah; kalen doeh, kathoeng doeh, kangvan ah lok to tahngai pae oh; kawbaktih kami doeh zii o hmah; lokcaekhaih loe Sithaw ih ni; nangcae han rai parai nahaeloe, kai khaeah na sin oh; kai mah kang tahngaih pae o han.
There shall be no difference of persons, you shall hear the little as well as the great: neither shall you respect any man’s person, because it is the judgment of God. And if any thing seem hard to you, refer it to me, and I will hear it.
18 To nathuem ah na sak o han koi hmuennawk to kang thuih o boih boeh.
And I commanded you all things that you were to do.
19 Aicae loe Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Horeb hoiah a tacawt o moe, Amor kaminawk ih prae hoi kamtueng, kakawk parai moe, zitthok praezaek loklam hoiah a caeh o pacoengah, Kadesh-Barnea ahmuen to a phak o.
And departing from Horeb, we passed through the terrible and vast wilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorrhite, as the Lord our God had commanded us. And when we were come into Cadesbarne,
20 To naah kai mah nangcae khaeah, Aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah aicae han paek ih Amor kaminawk ih prae to a phak o boeh.
I said to you: You are come to the mountain of the Amorrhite, which the Lord our God will give to us.
21 Khenah, nangcae Angraeng Sithaw mah prae to na hma ah ang suek pae o boeh; nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, caeh oh loe, prae to atoep oh; zii o hmah loe, palung doeh boeng o hmah, tiah kang naa o.
See the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord our God hath spoken to thy fathers: fear not, nor be any way discouraged.
22 To naah ka taengah nang zoh o boih moe, Prae khet hanah, aicae hma ah kami patoeh si, nihcae mah aicae hanah prae to khen o nasoe loe, naa bang ih loklam ah maw a caeh o moe, naa ih vangpui ah maw a pha o tih, tito nihcae mah na thui o nasoe, tiah nang naa o.
And you came all to me, and said: Let us send men who may view the land, and bring us word what way we shall go up, and to what cities we shall go.
23 Na thuih o ih lok loe hoih, tiah ka poek; to pongah nangmacae acaeng maeto thung hoi kami maeto, sangqum boih ah hatlai hnetto ka qoih;
And because the saying pleased me, I sent of you twelve men, one of every tribe:
24 nihcae loe amsak o moe, mae nuiah caeh o tahang; Eshkol azawn to a phak o pacoengah, prae to a khet o.
Who, when they had set forward and had gone up to the mountains, came as far as the valley of the cluster: and having viewed the land,
25 To prae thung ih thingthai qumponawk to aicae han a sinh o moe, aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih prae loe, hoih parai, tiah lok ang palaem o.
Taking of the fruits thereof, to shew its fertility, they brought them to us, and said: The land is good, which the Lord our God will give us.
26 Toe na caeh o tahang ai; na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih lok to na aek o.
And you would not go up, but being incredulous to the word of the Lord our God,
27 Na oh o haih kahni imthung ah na laisaep o; Angraeng mah aicae hnukma pongah, Amor kaminawk ban ah paek moe, nihcae humsak han ih ni Izip prae thung hoiah aicae hae ang hoih.
You murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and destroy us.
28 Naa bangah maw a caeh o han boeh? Nawkamyanawk mah, To prae kaminawk loe aicae pongah thacak o moe, sang o kue; vangpuinawk doeh van khoek to kapha sipae hoiah a thungh o; to prae thungah Anak kaminawk oh o, tiah thuih o pongah, kaicae palung ang boeng o sak, tiah na thuih o.
Whither shall we go up? the messengers have terrified our hearts, saying: The multitude is very great, and taller than we: the cities are great, and walled up to the sky, we have seen the sons of the Enacims there.
29 To naah kai mah, Mawn o hmah; nihcae to zii o hmah;
And I said to you: Fear not, neither be ye afraid of them:
30 nangcae hma ah na Angraeng Sithaw to caeh ueloe, nangcae mikhnuk ah Izip prae ah sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, anih mah nangcae hanah misa na tuh pae tih;
The Lord God, who is your leader, himself will fight for you, as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.
31 ampa maeto mah a caa to moek baktih toengah, hae ahmuen karoek to, na caeh o haih praezaek loklam ah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah kawbangah maw ang moek o, tito na hnuk o boeh, to tiah anih mah nangcae han misatuk abom tih, tiah kang thuih o.
And in the wilderness (as thou hast seen) the Lord thy God hath carried thee, as a man is wont to carry his little son, all the way that you have come, until you came to this place.
32 Hae tiah oh pacoengah doeh, na Angraeng Sithaw to na tang o ai,
And yet for all this you did not believe the Lord your God,
33 kahni im sak han ih ahmuen to anih mah ang pakrong pae, na caeh o haih loklam to patuek hanah, aqum ah hmaithaw hoiah ang toeh o moe, khodai ah tamai hoiah nangcae hma ah a caeh.
Who went before you in the way, and marked out the place, wherein you should pitch your tents, in the night shewing you the way by fire, and in the day by the pillar of a cloud.
34 Na thuih o ih loknawk Angraeng mah thaih naah, palungphui moe, lokkamhaih a sak;
And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, he was angry and swore, and said:
35 hae ih kasae caanawk loe, nam panawk khaeah paek han lokkam ih kahoih prae to mi mah doeh hnu o mak ai.
Not one of the men of this wicked generation shall see the good land, which I promised with an oath to your fathers:
36 Jephunneh capa Kaleb khue mah ni, hnu tih; anih loe palungthin boih hoiah Angraeng hnukah bang pongah, khok hoi a cawh ih prae to, angmah hoi a caanawk khaeah ka paek han, tiah a thuih.
Except Caleb the son of Jephone: for he shall see it, and to him I will give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath followed the Lord.
37 Nangcae pongah ka nuiah Angraeng palungphui moe, Nang doeh to ahmuen ah na kun mak ai;
Neither is his indignation against the people to be wondered at, since the Lord was angry with me also on your account, and said: Neither shalt thou go in thither.
38 toe na taengah angdoe, Nun capa Joshua loe akun tih; anih loe Israel kaminawk qawktoepkung ah oh pongah, anih to thapaek ah.
But Josue the son of Nun, thy minister, he shall go in for thee: exhort and encourage him, and he shall divide the land by lot to Israel.
39 Toe misanawk mah lomh o tih, tiah na thuih o ih nawktanawk hoi to nathuem ah kasae kahoih mathaih tawn ai, na caanawk ni prae thungah akun o tih; nihcae mah qawk ah toep o hanah, nihcae khaeah ka paek han.
Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in: and to them I will give the land, and they shall possess it.
40 Toe nangcae loe angqoi oh loe, tuipui kathim caehhaih loklam hoiah praezaek ah caeh oh, tiah ang naa.
But return you and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
41 To naah nangcae mah kai khaeah, Angraeng hmaa ah ka zae o moeng boeh pongah, ka caeh o tahang moe, Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, misa ka tuk o han, tiah nang thuih o. Kami boih maiphaw maica hoiah amthoep o moe, mae nuiah caeh hanah amsak o.
And you answered me: We have sinned against the Lord: we will go up and fight, as the Lord our God hath commanded. And when you went ready armed unto the mountain,
42 Toe Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Misatuk hanah caeh o tahang hmah; nangcae khaeah ka om mak ai; na misanawk mah nangcae to pazawk tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
The Lord said to me: Say to them: Go not up, and fight not, for I am not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.
43 To pongah ni lok kang thuih o; toe na tahngai o ai; Angraeng mah paek ih lok to na aek o moe, mae nuiah na caeh o tahang nganga.
I spoke, and you hearkened not: but resisting the commandment of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you went up into the mountain.
44 To naah mae nuiah kaom Amor kaminawk to angzoh o moe, nangcae to ang tuk o; khoimi mah patom ih baktih toengah ang patom o; Seir mae hoiah Hormah karoek to ang patom o moe, ang hum o.
And the Amorrhite that dwelt in the mountains coming out, and meeting you, chased you, as bees do: and made slaughter of you from Seir as far as Horma.
45 To pacoengah Seir hoiah Hormah ah nam laem o let moe, Angraeng hmaa ah na qah o; toe na qah o haih lok to Angraeng mah tahngai ai, naa doeh patueng ai.
And when you returned and wept before the Lord, he heard you not, neither would he yield to; your voice.
46 To pongah Kadesh ah atue kasawk ah na oh o, to tiah atue na patoh o boih.
So you abode in Cadesbarne a long time.
