Olrhaepnah 31

1 Moses te cet tih Israel pum taengah hekah olka he a thui.

And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

2 Te vaengah amih te, “Tihnin ah kai he kum ya pakul ka lo ca coeng tih ka voei ka bal ham ka coeng voel pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, 'He Jordan he kat voel boeh,’ a ti.

And he said to them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said to me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

3 Na hmai kah aka kat BOEIPA na Pathen amah loh namtom rhoek he na mikhmuh ah a mitmoeng sak vetih amih te na pang ni. BOEIPA loh a thui vanbangla Joshua tah nang hmai ah kat ni.

The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

4 Amori manghai Sihon neh Oga a saii tih a khohmuen neh rhenten a phae bangla BOEIPA loh a saii ni.

And the LORD shall do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to the land of them, whom he destroyed.

5 Amih te BOEIPA loh na mikhmuh la han thak vaengah nang kang uen olpaek bangla amih taengah boeih na saii ni.

And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.

6 Thaahuel uh lamtah namning sakuh. Amih maelhmai te rhih uh boel lamtah na sarhing uh boeh. Nang taengkah aka cet BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang ng'rhael pawt vetih nang ng'hnoo mahpawh,” a ti nah.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

7 Te phoeiah Moses loh Joshua a khue tih Israel pum kah mikhmuh ah, “Thaahuel lamtah namning sak. A napa taengah paek hamla BOEIPA loh a toemngam tangtae khohmuen la pilnam neh na puei uh vetih amih te na pang pawn ni.

And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people to the land which the LORD hath sworn to their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

8 Nang mikhmuh ah aka pongpa BOEIPA amah long he nang taengah om vetih nang ng'rhael mahpawh, nang ng'hnoo mahpawh. Rhih boel lamtah rhihyawp boeh,” a ti nah.

And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

9 Te phoeiah olkhueng he Moses loh a daek tih, BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt, Levi koca khosoih rhoek neh Israel patong rhoek boeih taengah a paek.

And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.

10 Hekah he kum rhih thok tih pohlip khotue laiba hlahnah kum kah khoning vaengah a thui tih amih te Moses loh a uen.

And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

11 Amah hmuen tuek kah BOEIPA na Pathen mikhmuh ah phoe hamla Israel pum loh ha pawk vaengah Israel pum kah a hna kaep ah olkhueng he doek pah.

When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

12 Huta tongpa camoe, na vongka kah yinlai neh pilnam loh tingtun saeh lamtah hnatun uh saeh. Te daengah ni a cang uh vetih BOEIPA na Pathen rhih ham neh olkhueng ol boeih he vai hamla a ngaithuen uh eh.

Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

13 Te vaengah pang hamla Jordan na kat thil khohmuen kah na hingnah tue khuiah ah aka ming noek pawh a ca rhoek loh BOEIPA na Pathen rhih ham hnatun uh saeh lamtah cang uh saeh.

And that their children, who have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land where ye go over Jordan to possess it.

14 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Duek hamla na khohnin loh yoei coeng he. Joshua te khue lamtah tingtunnah dap ah pai sak lamtah anih te ka uen eh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Moses neh Joshua te cet rhoi tih tingtunnah dap ah pai rhoi.

And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.

15 Te vaengah BOEIPA tah dap ah cingmai tung la tueng tih cingmai tung khaw dap thohkah ah pai.

And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.

16 Te vaengah Moses te BOEIPA loh, “Na pa rhoek taengah na yalh coeng atah pilnam he thoo vetih a kun thil khohmuen kah kholong pathen taengah cukhalh pawn ni he. Kai n'hnoo vetih anih taengkah ka saii ka paipi he a phae uh ni.

And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the harlot with the gods of the strangers of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

17 Tekah khohnin ah tah ka thintoek loh anih taengah sai vetih amih te ka hnoo ni. Te vaengah amih taeng lamloh ka maelhmai ka thuh vetih maeham la poeh ni. Yoethae cungkuem neh citcai loh anih a hmuh ni. Te khohnin ah, “Ka khui ah ka Pathen loh a om pawt dongah pawt nim? He bang yoethae loh kai m'hmuh,” a ti ni.

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?

18 Boethae cungkuem te a saii tih pathen tloe rhoek taengah a hooi uh khohnin van vaengah kai long khaw ka maelhmai ka thuh rhoe ka thuh tak van ni.

And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned to other gods.

19 Te dongah hekah laa he namah loh daek laeh. Israel ca rhoek te tuuk lamtah a ka dongah hoei pah. Te daengah ni hekah laa loh Israel ca rhoek taengah kai kah laipai la a om eh.

Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

20 A napa rhoek taengah ka toemngam tangtae tih, khoitui neh suktui aka long khohmuen la ka khuen ni. Te vaengah kodam la ca khangrhang cakhaw pathen tloe taengla hooi uh vetih amih taengah ni tho a thueng uh eh. Kai yah m'bai uh vetih ka paipi a phae uh mai hoeh veh.

For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grew fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

21 Tedae ana om saeh, anih te yoethae neh citcai loh muep a muk van vaengah hekah laa loh a mikhmuh ah laipai la a doo bitni. A tiingan ka lamkah te khaw hnilh boel saeh. Ka toemngam bangla anih te khohmuen la ka pha puei hlan ah pataeng tihnin kah a saii neh a benbonah te ka ming,” a ti nah.

And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.

22 Te dongah laa he Moses loh amah khohnin vaengah a daek tih Israel ca rhoek te a cang puei.

Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.

23 Te phoeiah Nun capa Joshua te a uen tih, “Amih ham ka toemngam tangtae khohmuen la Israel ca rhoek te na khuen ham coeng dongah thahuel lamtah namning sak. Nang taengah kai ka om bitni,” a ti nah.

And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with thee.

24 Olkhueng ol he a soep hil cabu dongah daek ham te Moses loh a coeng tih om coeng.

And it came to pass, when Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

25 Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt Levi rhoek te Moses loh a uen tih,

That Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,

26 “Olkhueng cabu he lo laeh. BOEIPA na Pathen paipi thingkawng kaep ah khueh lamtah nang taengah laipai la om saeh.

Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

27 Na boekoek neh na rhawn a mangkhak khaw kai loh ka ming. Nangmih taengkah ka hing tue vaengah pataeng BOEIPA aka koek la na om uh atah ka duek phoei aisat oeih.

For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?

28 Nangmih koca kah patong rhoek neh na rhoiboei boeih loh kai taengla ha tingtun uh laeh. Vaan neh diklai he amih taengah ka laipai puei saeh lamtah a hna ah olka he ka thui lah eh.

Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.

29 Ka dueknah hnukah khaw ka ming coeng. A po la na po vetih nangmih taengah kang uen bangla longpuei lamloh na nong uh ni. Hmailong khohnin ah yoethaenah loh nangmih m'mah ni. Na kut dongkah khoboe neh amah veet hamla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni na saii uh eh.

For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

30 Te dongah hekah laa lung he a boeih due Israel hlangping boeih kah a hna ah Moses loh a thui pah.

And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
