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 bee the wordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel, on this side Iorden in the wildernesse, in the plaine, ouer against the red Sea, betweene Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
2 Te vaengah Seir tlang long kah Horeb lamkah Kadeshbarnea he hnin rha hlai at longcaeh hla pueng.
There are eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Kadesh-barnea, by the way of mout Seir.
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 passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yeere that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them,
4 Heshbon ah aka ngol Amori manghai Sihon neh Edrei kah Ashtaroth ah aka ngol Bashan manghai Oga a tloek phoeiah,
After that he had slaine Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei.
5 Moab kho kah Jordan rhalvang ah BOEIPA kah olkhueng te Moses loh koe a thuicaih tih,
On this side Iorden in the lande of Moab began Moses to declare this lawe, saying,
6 “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh Horeb ah a thui tah, ‘Hekah tlang ah na om uh khaw rhoeh coeng.
The Lord our God spake vnto vs in Horeb, saying, Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount,
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.
Turne you and depart, and goe vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, and vnto all places neere thereunto in the plaine, in the mountaine, or in the valley: both Southwarde, and to the Sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath.
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 caeng.’”
Beholde, I haue set the land before you: go in and possesse that land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue vnto them and to their seede after them.
9 “Te vaeng tue ah nangmih taengah ka thui vanbangla, ‘Nangmih khuen ham he kai loh kan na moenih.
And I spake vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe alone:
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 hath multiplied you: and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber:
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 make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath promised you)
12 Tedae nangmih kah laipuei neh hnophueih neh tuituknah te kai loh metlam ka phueih thai eh?
Howe can I alone beare your combrance and your charge, and your strife?
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.”
Bring you men of wisedome and of vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you:
14 “Te vaengah kai te nan doo uh tih, ‘Na ol thui te te then, saii ham om,’ na ti uh.”
Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded vs to doe.
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 tooke the chiefe of your tribes wise and knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fiftie, and captaines ouer tenne, and officers among your tribes.
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 iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery 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.
Ye shall haue no respect of person in iudgement, but shall heare the small aswell as the great: yee shall not feare the face of man: for the iudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring vnto me, and I will heare it.
18 Te vaeng tue kah nangmih kang uen olka boeih te saii uh.”
Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should doe.
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.
Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wildernesse (as yee haue seene) by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded vs: and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 Te vaengah nangmih taengah, ‘Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih taengah m'paek Amori tlang la na pawk uh coeng.
And I saide vnto you, Yee are come vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doeth giue vnto vs.
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.”
Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layde the land before thee: go vp and possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath saide vnto thee: feare not, neither be discouraged.
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.”
Then ye came vnto me euery one, and said, We wil send men before vs, to search vs out the land and to bring vs word againe, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cities we shall come.
23 Tekah olka te ka mik dongah a thuem van dongah koca pakhat ah hlang pakhat neh hlang hlai nit te nangmih khui lamkah ka tuek.
So the saying pleased me well, and I tooke twelue men of you, of euery tribe one.
24 Te dongah hooi uh tih tlang la a yoeng uh phoeiah Eshkol soklong la pawk uh tih kho a hip uh.
Who departed, and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the riuer Eshcol, and searched out the land.
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 tooke of the fruite of the land in their hands, and brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde againe, and sayd, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doeth giue vs.
26 “Tedae caeh ham na huem uh pawt dongah na BOEIPA Pathen kah ol te na koek uh.
Notwithstanding, ye would not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord your 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 murmured in your tentes, and sayd, Because the Lord hated vs, therefore hath hee brought vs out of the land of Egypt, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy vs.
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 shall we go vp? our brethren haue discouraged our hearts, saying, The people is greater, and taller then we: the cities are great and walled vp to heauen: and moreouer we haue seene the sonnes of the Anakims there.
29 “Nangmih te, ‘Amih taengah na sarhing sak boeh, rhih uh boeh,’ ka ti.
But I sayd vnto you, Dread not, nor be afrayd 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 goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes,
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 the wildernesse, where thou hast seene how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the way which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place.
32 Tedae tekah olka a om lalah nangmih loh BOEIPA na Pathen te na tangnah uh pawh.
Yet for all this ye did not beleeue the Lord your 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 went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tentes in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to goe, and in a cloude by day.
34 “Nangmih kah olka ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak vaengah a thintoek tih ol a caeng.
Then the Lord heard the voyce of your wordes, and was wroth, and 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.
Surely there shall not one of these men of this froward generation, see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto your 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 ka paek ni,’ a ti.”
Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord.
37 “Nangmih kongah kai taengah khaw BOEIPA loh a thintoek tih, ‘Nang khaw na kun mahpawh.
Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not goe in thither,
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.
But Ioshua the sonne of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: incourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherite 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.
Moreouer, your children, which ye sayd should be a praye, and your sonnes, which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euill, they shall go in thither, and vnto them wil I giue it, and they shall possesse it.
40 Tedae nangmih te namamih mael uh lamtah carhaek li longpuei kah khosoek te paan uh,’ a ti.”
But as for you, turne backe, and take your iourney into the wildernesse by the way of 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 sak uh.”
Then ye answered and sayd vnto me, We haue sinned against the Lord, we wil go vp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded vs: and ye armed you euery man to the warre, and were ready to goe vp into the mountaine.
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.”
But the Lord said vnto me, Say vnto them, Goe not vp, neither fight, (for I am not among you) least ye fall 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 when I told you, ye would not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went vp into the mountaine.
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.
Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and chased you (as bees vse to doe) and destroied you in Seir, euen vnto Hormah.
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 when ye came againe, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not heare your voyce, nor incline his eares vnto you.
46 Te dongah ni Kadesh kah na om uh te khohnin la khohnin a yet na om uh.”
So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before.
