Olrhaepnah 1
1 Hekah olka he Jordan rhalvang kah khosoek, Suph imdan kolken Paran laklo neh Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth neh Dizahab ah Israel boeih ham Moses loh a thui pah.
These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.
2 Te vaengah Seir tlang long kah Horeb lamkah Kadeshbarnea he hnin rha hlai at longcaeh hla pueng.
[It is] a journey of eleven days from Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.
3 Kum likip a lo vaengkah a hla hlai at kah hla lamhma cuek dongah BOEIPA kah a uen boeih te Israel ca rhoek ham Moses loh a thui pah.
And it came to pass in the forties year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:
4 Heshbon ah aka ngol Amori manghai Sihon neh Edrei kah Ashtaroth ah aka ngol Bashan manghai Oga a tloek phoeiah,
after he had struck Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain;
5 Moab kho kah Jordan rhalvang ah BOEIPA kah olkhueng te Moses loh koe a thuicaih tih,
beyond Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
6 “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh Horeb ah a thui tah, 'Hekah tlang ah na om uh khaw rhoeh coeng.
The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have lived [so long] in this mountain.
7 Nangmih te hooi uh lamtah hlah uh laeh. Amori tlang neh a imben boeih ah, kolken tlang neh kolrhawk ah khaw, Negev neh Kanaan kho kah tuitun langkaeng long khaw, Lebanon tuiva Perath tuiva puei duela cet uh.
Turn you and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Nangmih mikhmuh kah khohmuen kam paek he hmuh uh. Cet uh lamtah pang uh. Tekah khohmuen te ni BOEIPA loh na pa rhoek Abraham taengah, Isaak taengah, Jakob taengah khaw amih phoeikah a tii a ngan taengah khaw paek ham la ol a coeng.
Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.
9 Te vaeng tue ah nangmih taengah ka thui vanbangla, “Nangmih khuen ham he kai loh kan na moenih.
And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.
10 BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih m'ping sak coeng dongah tihnin ah tah vaan kah aisi bangla na yet coeng.
The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are today as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 Na pa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih taengkah a thui vanbang la nangmih te a pueh thawng khat lam khaw n'thap saeh lamtah yoethen m'pae saeh.
The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.
12 Tedae nangmih kah laipuei neh hnophueih neh tuituknah te kai loh metlam ka phueih thai eh?
How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?
13 Te dongah namah koca khui lamkah aka cueih tih aka yakming neh aka ming thai hlang rhoek te namamih ham tuek uh lamtah amih te nangmih kah a lu la ka khueh eh?,’ ka ti.
Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.
14 Te vaengah kai te nan doo uh tih, 'Na ol thui te te then, saii ham om,’na ti uh.
And you answered me and said, The thing which you have told us [is] good to do.
15 Te dongah aka cueih tih aka ming hlang rhoek te namamih koca rhoek kah a lu la ka khueh eh. Te vaengah thawngkhat kah mangpa rhoek, yakhat kah mangpa rhoek, sawmnga kah mangpa rhoek neh hlangrha kah mangpa rhoek te nangmih soah a lu la ka khueh tih nangmih koca rhoek kah rhoiboei la om uh.
So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.
16 Te vaengah nangmih taengkah laitloek rhoek te ka uen tih, 'Na manuca rhoek loh a yaak koi la hlang neh a manuca laklo ah khaw yinlai laklo ah khaw duengnah neh laitloek uh.
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Laitloeknah dongah hlang maelhmai so uh boeh. Tanoe kangham la na yaak akhaw hlang mikhmuh ah bakuep uh boeh. Laitloeknah he Pathen hut la a om dongah nangmih ham aka kuel olka te tah kai taengla hang khuen uh lamtah n'yaak sak uh,’ ka ti nah.
You shall not have respect to persons in judgement, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgement is God's; and whatever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.
18 Te vaeng tue kah nangmih kang uen olka boeih te saii uh.
And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which you shall perform.
19 Te dongah mamih BOEIPA Pathen kah a uen vanbangla Horeb lamkah m'puen uh tih khosoek khoham khaw boeih na hmuh uh. Rhih aka om Amori tlang long la n'cet uh tih Kadeshbarnea te m'pha uh.
And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.
20 Te vaengah nangmih taengah, “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih taengah m'paek Amori tlang la na pawk uh coeng.
And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:
21 Na pa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih taengah, 'Rhih boeh, rhihyawp boeh,’ a ti vanbangla nangmih mikhmuh ah na BOEIPA Pathen loh m'paek ke so uh. Khohmuen ke cet lamtah pang laeh,’ ka ti.
behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.
22 Te vaengah kai taengla boeih na capit uh tih, 'Mamih hmai ah hlang tueih uh sih lamtah khohmuen te ha hip uh saeh. Te daengah ni n'caeh ham koi longpuei neh m'pha ham koi khopuei rhoek kah olka te mamih taengla hang khuen uh eh,” na ti uh.
And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.
23 Tekah olka ka mik dongah a thuem van dongah koca pakhat ah hlang pakhat neh hlang hlai nit te nangmih khui lamkah ka tuek.
And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe.
24 Te dongah hooi uh tih tlang la a yoeng uh phoeiah Eshkol soklong la pawk uh tih kho a hip uh.
And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it.
25 Te vaengah khohmuen thaihtae te a kut neh a loh uh tih mammih taengla han suntlak puei uh phoeiah mamih ham olka ham voeih uh. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA loh mamih taengah m'paek khohmuen kah a then te khaw a thui uh.
And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.
26 Tedae caeh ham na huem uh pawt dongah na BOEIPA Pathen kah ol te na koek uh.
Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.
27 Namamih kah dap khuiah pataeng na cailak uh tih, 'Mamih kah BOEIPA kah hmuhuetnah dongah mamih mitmoeng sak ham ni Egypt kho lamloh n'khuen tih Amori kut dongla n'thak.
And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Kaimih ta melam ka caeh uh eh? Mah manuca aka cet rhoek loh, 'Pilnam loh len uh tih mamih lakah sang uh, khopuei rhoek khaw ka tih a vong cak loh vaan duela a pha, teah te Anakim ca rhoek khaw ka hmuh,’ a ti uh tih mamih kah lungbuei thinko he hoeng a khah uh.
Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.
29 Nangmih te, “Amih taengah na sarhing sak boeh, rhih uh boeh,’ ka ti.
And I said to you, Fear not, neither be you afraid of them;
30 Nangmih mikhmuh kah aka cet na Pathen BOEIPA loh Egypt ah nangmih ham namamih mikhmuh kah a saii bang boeih la nangmih ham a vathoh bitni.
the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt;
31 Hekah hmuen na pha uh due na caeh uh vaengah longpueng khing ah hlang loh a ca a poeh bangla khosoek ah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih m'poeh te khaw na hmuh uh coeng.
and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which you have gone until you came to this place.
32 Tedae tekah olka a om lalah nangmih loh BOEIPA na Pathen te na tangnah uh pawh.
And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God,
33 Longpueng ah na rhaeh nah ham nangmih kah hmuen tlap te nangmih mikhmuh ah halo. Khoyin ah hmai neh longpuei te nangmih n'tueng tih khothaih ah cingmai neh na cet uh.
who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in fire by night, showing you the way by which you go, and a cloud by day.
34 Nangmih kah olka ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak vaengah a thintoek tih ol a coeng.
And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,
35 “Na pa rhoek taengah paek ham ka caeng khohmuen then te he kah boethae thawnpuei hlang rhoek khuikah hlang loh hmu mahpawh.
Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,
36 Jephunneh capa Kaleb long tah te a hmuh ni. BOEIPA hnukah a tlun van dongah a soah a cawt vanbangla khohmuen te anih taeng neh a ca rhoek taengah aka paek ni, ' a ti.
except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.
37 Nangmih kongah kai taengah khaw BOEIPA loh a thintoek tih, 'Nang khaw na kun mahpawh.
And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein.
38 Na mikhmuh ah aka pai Nun capa Joshua tah kun ni. Israel te anih loh a pang ham coeng dongah anih te mah talong laeh.
Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; do you strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Na ca te maeh la om ni na ti uh cakhaw a tue thae then aka ming mueh na ca rhoek tah kun uh ni. Te dongah amih te khohmuen ka paek vetih amih loh a pang uh ni.
And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.
40 Tedae nangmih te namamih mael uh lamtah carhaek li longpuei kah khosoek te paan uh,’ a ti.
And you turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.
41 Te vaengah kai he nan doo uh tih, 'BOEIPA taengah ka tholh uh coeng. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA kah a uen bangla boeih yoeng uh sih lamtah vathoh uh sih,’ na ti uh. Te dongah hlang khat rhip loh amah kah caemtloek tubael te a vah uh tih tlang la yoeng ham te na yoeikoek sakuh.
And you answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, you went up to the mountain.
42 Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Amih te thui pah. Cet uh boeh, vathoh uh boeh, nangmih lakli ah ka om pawt dongah na thunkha rhoek kah mikhmuh ah na yawk uh mahpawt nim,” a ti.
And the Lord said to me, Tell them, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight, for I am not with you; thus shall you not be destroyed before your enemies.
43 Nangmih taengah ka thui dae na ngai uh pawt tih BOEIPA ol te na koek uh. Na lokhak uh tih tlang la na luei uh.
And I spoke to you, and you did not listen to me; and you transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and you forced your way and went up into the mountain.
44 Te dongah nangmih aka doe ham tlang ah aka om Amori te halo tih khoi loh a cuk thil bangla nangmih te n'hloem uh phoeiah Seir lamkah Hormah duela nangmih te m'phop uh.
And the Amorite who lived in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.
45 Te vaengah na balkhong uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah na rhap uh dae nangmih ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak voel mueh la nangmih taengah a hna khaw kaeng pawh.
And you sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord listened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.
46 Te dongah ni Kadesh kah na om uh te khohnin la khohnin a yet na om uh.
And you lived in Cades many days, as many days as you lived [there].
