turn and journey for yourselves, and go to the mountain of the Amorite, and to all its neighboring places in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates River;

your God YHWH has multiplied you, and behold, today you [are] as the stars of the heavens for multitude;

Provide wise and understanding men for yourselves that are known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;

and you answer me and say, The thing which you have spoken [is] good to do.

And I command your judges at that time, saying, Listen between your brothers—then you have judged [in] righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;
17 Laitloeknah dongah hlang maelhmai souh boeh. Tanoe kangham lana yaak akhaw hlang mikhmuh ah bakuepuh boeh. Laitloeknah he Pathen hut laaom dongah nangmih hamaka kuel olka te tah kai taengla hang khuenuh lamtah n'yaak sak uh,’ ka tinah.
you do not discern faces in judgment; you hear the little as well as the great; you are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God’s, and the thing which is too hard for you, you bring near to me, and I have heard it.
18 Te vaeng tue kah nangmih kang uen olka boeih te saiiuh.
And I command you at that time all the things which you do.

And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which you have seen, the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as our God YHWH has commanded us, and we come to Kadesh-Barnea.
20 Te vaengah nangmih taengah, “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathenloh mamih taengah m'paek Amori tlang lana pawkuh coeng.
And I say to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorite, which our God YHWH is giving to us;
21 Na parhoek kah BOEIPA Pathenloh nangmih taengah, 'Rhih boeh, rhihyawp boeh,’ a ti vanbangla nangmih mikhmuh ah na BOEIPA Pathen loh m'paek ke souh. Khohmuen ke cet lamtah pang laeh,’ ka ti.
see, your God YHWH has set the land before you; go up, possess, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not fear, nor be frightened.

And you come near to me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search the land for us, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities to which we come in;
23 Tekah olka ka mik dongaha thuem van dongah koca pakhatah hlangpakhat neh hlang hlai nitte nangmihkhui lamkah ka tuek.
and the thing is good in my eyes, and I take twelve men from you, one man for the tribe.

And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come to the Valley of Eshcol, and spy it out,

and they take in their hand from the fruit of the land, and bring [it] down to us, and bring us back word, and say, The land is good which our God YHWH is giving to us.
26 Tedae caeh hamna huemuh pawt dongah na BOEIPA Pathen kah ol tena koekuh.
And you have not been willing to go up, and you provoke the mouth of your God YHWH,
27 Namamih kah dap khuiah pataengna cailakuh tih, 'Mamih kah BOEIPA kah hmuhuetnah dongah mamih mitmoeng sak hamni Egypt kho lamloh n'khuentih Amori kut dongla n'thak.
and murmur in your tents, and say, In YHWH’s hating us He has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite—to destroy us;
28 Kaimih ta melam kacaeh uh eh? Mah manucaaka cetrhoek loh, 'Pilnamloh lenuh tih mamih lakah sang uh, khopueirhoekkhaw ka tihavong cakloh vaan duelaa pha, teahte Anakim carhoek khaw ka hmuh,’ a ti uh tih mamih kah lungbuei thinko hehoenga khahuh.
to where are we going up? Our brothers have melted our heart, saying, [The] people [are] greater and taller than we; [the] cities [are] great and fortified up to the heavens, and we have also seen sons of Anakim there.
29 Nangmih te, “Amih taengahna sarhing sak boeh, rhihuh boeh,’ ka ti.
And I say to you, Do not be terrified, nor be afraid of them;
30 Nangmih mikhmuh kahaka cet na Pathen BOEIPAloh Egypt ah nangmih ham namamih mikhmuh kaha saii bang boeih la nangmih hama vathoh bitni.
your God YHWH, who is going before you—He fights for you, according to all that He has done with you in Egypt before your eyes,
31 Hekah hmuen na phauhduena caehuhvaengah longpueng khing ah hlangloh a caa poeh bangla khosoek ah BOEIPA na Pathenloh nangmih m'poeh te khawna hmuhuh coeng.
and in the wilderness where you have seen that your God YHWH has carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have gone until your coming to this place.
32 Tedae tekah olkaaom lalah nangmihloh BOEIPA na Pathen tena tangnahuh pawh.
And in this thing you are not steadfast in your God YHWH,
33 Longpueng ah na rhaehnah ham nangmih kah hmuen tlap te nangmih mikhmuh ah halo. Khoyinah hmai neh longpuei te nangmih n'tueng tih khothaihah cingmai nehna cetuh.
who is going before you in the way to search out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to show you in the way in which you go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Nangmih kah olka ol te BOEIPAloh a yaak vaengaha thintoek tih ola coeng.
And YHWH hears the voice of your words, and is angry, and swears, saying,
35 “Na parhoek taengah paek ham ka caeng khohmuen then te he kah boethae thawnpuei hlang rhoek khuikah hlangloh hmu mahpawh.
Not one of these men of this evil generation sees the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

except Caleb son of Jephunneh—he sees it, and to him I give the land on which he has trodden, and to his sons, because that he has been fully after YHWH.
37 Nangmih kongah kai taengah khaw BOEIPAloh a thintoek tih, 'Nang khawna kun mahpawh.
Moreover, YHWH has been angry with me for your sake, saying, Indeed, you do not go in there;
38 Na mikhmuh ahaka pai Nun capa Joshua tah kun ni. Israel te anihloh a pang hamcoeng dongah anih te mah talonglaeh.
Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before you, he goes in there; strengthen him, for he causes Israel to inherit [it].
39 Na ca te maeh la omnina tiuh cakhawa tue thae thenaka ming mueh na ca rhoek tah kun uh ni. Te dongah amih te khohmuen ka paek vetih amihloh a pang uh ni.
And your infants, of whom you have said, They are for a prey, and your sons who today have not known good and evil, they go in there, and I give it to them, and they possess it;
40 Tedae nangmih te namamih maeluh lamtah carhaek li longpuei kah khosoekte paan uh,’ a ti.
but you, turn and journey for yourselves toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.
41 Te vaengah kai he nan doouh tih, 'BOEIPA taengah ka tholhuh coeng. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPAkaha uen bangla boeih yoeng uhsih lamtah vathoh uh sih,’ na tiuh. Te dongah hlang khat rhip loh amah kah caemtloek tubael tea vahuh tih tlang la yoeng ham te na yoeikoeksakuh.
And you answer and say to me, We have sinned against YHWH; we go up and we have fought, according to all that which our God YHWH has commanded us; and you each gird on his weapons of war, and you are ready to go up into the hill-country;
42 Tedae BOEIPAloh kai taengah, “Amih te thuipah. Cetuh boeh, vathohuh boeh, nangmih lakli ah ka om pawt dongah na thunkharhoek kah mikhmuh ahna yawkuh mahpawt nim,” a ti.
and YHWH says to me, Say to them, You do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and you are not struck before your enemies.
43 Nangmih taengah ka thui daena ngaiuh pawt tih BOEIPA ol tena koekuh. Na lokhakuh tih tlang lana lueiuh.
And I speak to you, and you have not listened, and provoke the mouth of YHWH, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;
44 Te dongah nangmihaka doe ham tlang ahaka om Amori te halo tih khoiloh a cuk thil bangla nangmih te n'hloemuh phoeiah Seir lamkah Hormah duela nangmih te m'phopuh.
and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country comes out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and strike you in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 Te vaengahna balkhonguh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ahna rhapuh dae nangmih ol te BOEIPAloh a yaak voel mueh la nangmih taengaha hna khaw kaeng pawh.
And you return and weep before YHWH, and YHWH has not listened to your voice, nor has He given ear to you;
46 Te dongahni Kadesh kahna om uh te khohnin la khohnina yetna omuh.
and you dwell in Kadesh [for] many days, according to the days which you had dwelt.”
