1 Hekah olka he Jordan rhalvang kah khosoek, Suph imdan kolken Paran laklo neh Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth neh Dizahab ah Israel boeih ham Mosesloh a thuipah.
These be the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite to the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 Te vaengah Seir tlang long kah Horeb lamkah Kadeshbarnea he hnin rha hlai at longcaeh hla pueng.
(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
3 Kum likipa lo vaengkaha hla hlai at kah hla lamhma cuek dongah BOEIPAkaha uen boeih te Israel carhoek ham Mosesloh a thuipah.
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
4 Heshbon ahaka ngol Amori manghai Sihon neh Edrei kah Ashtaroth ahaka ngol Bashan manghai Ogaa tloek phoeiah,
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5 Moab kho kah Jordan rhalvang ah BOEIPA kah olkhueng te Mosesloh koea thuicaih tih,
On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathenloh Horeb aha thui tah, 'Hekah tlang ah na omuh khaw rhoehcoeng.
The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, All of you have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7 Nangmih te hooiuh lamtah hlahuh 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 cetuh.
Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Nangmih mikhmuh kah khohmuen kam paek he hmuhuh. Cetuh lamtah panguh. Tekah khohmuen teni BOEIPAloh na parhoek Abraham taengah, Isaak taengah, Jakob taengah khaw amih phoeikah a tii a ngan taengah khaw paek ham la ola coeng.
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto 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 unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 BOEIPA na Pathenloh nangmih m'ping sak coeng dongah tihnin ah tah vaan kah aisi banglana yetcoeng.
The LORD your God has multiplied you, and, behold, all of you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 Na parhoek kah BOEIPA Pathenloh nangmih taengkaha thui vanbang la nangmih tea 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 more as all of you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!)
12 Tedae nangmih kah laipuei neh hnophueih neh tuituknahte kai loh metlam ka phueih thai eh?
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Te dongah namah koca khui lamkahaka cueih tihaka yakming nehaka ming thai hlang rhoekte namamih ham tuekuh lamtah amihte nangmihkaha lu la ka khueh eh?,’ ka ti.
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 Te vaengah kai te nan doouh tih, 'Na ol thui tete then, saii hamom,’na tiuh.
And all of you answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is good for us to do.
15 Te dongahaka cueih tihaka ming hlang rhoekte namamih koca rhoek kah a lu la ka khueh eh. Te vaengah thawngkhat kah mangparhoek, yakhat kah mangparhoek, sawmnga kah mangparhoek neh hlangrha kah mangparhoek te nangmih soaha lu la ka khueh tih nangmih kocarhoek kah rhoiboei la om uh.
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
16 Te vaengah nangmih taengkah laitloekrhoek te ka uen tih, 'Na manuca rhoek loh a yaak koi la hlang neh a manuca lakloah khaw yinlai laklo ah khaw duengnah neh laitloekuh.
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
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.
All of you shall not respect persons in judgment; but all of you shall hear the small as well as the great; all of you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
18 Te vaeng tue kah nangmih kang uen olka boeih te saiiuh.
And I commanded you at that time all the things which all of you should do.
19 Te dongah mamih BOEIPA Pathenkaha uen vanbangla Horeb lamkah m'puenuh tih khosoek khoham khaw boeihna hmuhuh. Rhih aka om Amori tlang long la n'cetuh tih Kadeshbarnea te m'phauh.
And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which all of you saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
20 Te vaengah nangmih taengah, “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathenloh mamih taengah m'paek Amori tlang lana pawkuh coeng.
And I said unto you, All of you are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God does give unto 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.
Behold, the LORD your God has set the land before you: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of your fathers has said unto you; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 Te vaengah kai taengla boeih na capituh tih, 'Mamih hmai ah hlang tueih uhsih lamtah khohmuen te ha hip uh saeh. Te daengah ni n'caeh hamkoi longpuei neh m'pha hamkoi khopueirhoek kah olkate mamih taengla hang khuen uh eh,” na tiuh.
And all of you came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23 Tekah olka ka mik dongaha thuem van dongah koca pakhatah hlangpakhat neh hlang hlai nitte nangmihkhui lamkah ka tuek.
And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24 Te dongah hooiuh tih tlanglaa yoenguh phoeiah Eshkol soklong la pawkuh tihkhoa hipuh.
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 Te vaengah khohmuen thaihtae te a kut neha lohuh tih mammih taengla han suntlak puei uh phoeiah mamih ham olka ham voeihuh. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPAloh mamih taengah m'paek khohmuenkaha thente khawa thuiuh.
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God does give us.
26 Tedae caeh hamna huemuh pawt dongah na BOEIPA Pathen kah ol tena koekuh.
Notwithstanding all of you would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
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 all of you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, 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.
Where shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
29 Nangmih te, “Amih taengahna sarhing sak boeh, rhihuh boeh,’ ka ti.
Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither 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.
The LORD your God which goes before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for 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 how that the LORD your God bare you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that all of you went, until all of you came into this place.
32 Tedae tekah olkaaom lalah nangmihloh BOEIPA na Pathen tena tangnahuh pawh.
Yet in this thing all of you did not believe the LORD your God,
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 went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way all of you should go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Nangmih kah olka ol te BOEIPAloh a yaak vaengaha thintoek tih ola coeng.
And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
35 “Na parhoek taengah paek ham ka caeng khohmuen then te he kah boethae thawnpuei hlang rhoek khuikah hlangloh hmu mahpawh.
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers.
36 Jephunneh capa Kaleb long tah te a hmuh ni. BOEIPA hnukaha tlun van dongah a soaha cawt vanbangla khohmuen te anih taeng neh a carhoek taengahaka paek ni, ' a ti.
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he has trodden upon, and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.
37 Nangmih kongah kai taengah khaw BOEIPAloh a thintoek tih, 'Nang khawna kun mahpawh.
Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in thither.
38 Na mikhmuh ahaka pai Nun capa Joshua tah kun ni. Israel te anihloh a pang hamcoeng dongah anih te mah talonglaeh.
But Joshua the son of Nun, which stands before you, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause 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.
Moreover your little ones, which all of you said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 Tedae nangmih te namamih maeluh lamtah carhaek li longpuei kah khosoekte paan uh,’ a ti.
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by 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.
Then all of you answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when all of you had girded on every man his weapons of war, all of you were ready to go up into the hill.
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 the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest all of you be smitten before your enemies.
43 Nangmih taengah ka thui daena ngaiuh pawt tih BOEIPA ol tena koekuh. Na lokhakuh tih tlang lana lueiuh.
So I spoke unto you; and all of you would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
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 Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto 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 all of you returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 Te dongahni Kadesh kahna om uh te khohnin la khohnina yetna omuh.
So all of you abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that all of you abode there.
