Danbu Ni Na 1
1 Mose’n thu hichengse hi, Israel mite lhumlam Jordan vadung gamthip noiya aum laiyun aheng uvah ana seipeh in, chule Jordan phaicham Suph, Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth le Di-zahab kimlaiya chun ngahmun akisem un ahi.
These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan—in the Arabah opposite Suph—between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 Sinai molsang apat Kadesh-barnea chan chu angaiya banga nisom le khat kenglam ahin, chule Seir molsang kijotpa ahi.
It is an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir.
3 Israel mite chun kum somli jou lhasom le lhakhat lhinna nikho masapen in Egypt gamsung ahin dalha tauvin, Pakaiyin Mose henga aseipeh bang chun, Israel mite jouse aseipeh soh keiyin ahi.
In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them.
4 Hichengse hi Amor mite Sihon lengpa Heshbon alal laiya thilsoh ahin, chule Bashan Og lengpan Ashtaroth le Edrei avaihop lai ahi.
This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and then at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth.
5 Israel mite Jordan vadung solam Moab gam'a aum laiyuva, Pakaiyin athupeh bang in Mose’n jong chingthei tah a aheng uva ahilchen chu anoiya chengse hi ahi.
On the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying:
6 “Sinai molsanga kaum laiyun Pakai, Pathen in kaheng uva hiti hin aseiye, 'Hiche molchunga hin phat sottah naum tauve.'
The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
7 Tun ngahmun phelhauvin cheuvin. Amor mite chenna thinglhang gam chule akimvel jouse le Jordan phaicham, Canaan mite, Lebanon mite chule Euphrate vadung chan gei cheuvin.
Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the foothills, in the Negev, and along the seacoast to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great River Euphrates.
8 Vetan, Keiman hiche gam leiset jouse hi nangma kapeh nahi! Chen lang agam khu galo tan, ajeh chu hiche gam leiset jouse hi Pakaiyin peh dinga kitepsa napu napateu Abraham, Isaac chule Jacob chilhahte jouse loding ahi.”
See, I have placed the land before you. Enter and possess the land that the LORD swore He would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants after them.”
9 Mose’n asei kit in, hiche phatlai chun kana seiyin, nangho jouse ka changa kavaihom hi, keima din ahahsa lheh jeng tai.
At that time I said to you, “I cannot carry the burden for you alone.
10 Pakai, Pathen in na mite apun sah in, ahsi jat in nasemdoh tauve!
The LORD your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
11 Chule napu napa khanga pat Pakai, Pathen chun asang sang in napunbe sah uhen, Akitepna bang in phatthei naboh uhen!
May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times over and bless you as He has promised.
12 Nangho vetsui hi abei tapon, naboina hou iti kachanga kasuh lhapjou ding ham?
But how can I bear your troubles, burdens, and disputes all by myself?
13 Hijeh chun ama ama insung kaiya konin thu hethem upa phabep lheng doh tem in, keiman ama ho chu nangho lamkaiya ka pansah ding ahi.
Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”
14 Nang in jong, ‘Na thilgon hi aphalheh jenge tia nana seiye.’
And you answered me and said, “What you propose to do is good.”
15 Keiman upa ching le thil hethem phabep ama insung kaiya kona nalhen doh hochu ka puijin, nangma thutan vaihom dinga ka pansah ahi. Miphabep chu mi sangsom chunga vaihom din apang in, miphabep mi jakhat chung, mi somnga chung chule mi phabep chu mi som chunga ding ahi.
So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them as leaders over you—as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens, and as officers for your tribes.
16 Hichun keiman thutan vaihom ho henga ka seiyin, ‘Nanghon na sopiu Israel mite le gamdang mi nalah uva hung cheng hoa kona thutan ding nahin mudoh diu ahi. Na dinmun cheh uva dettah in pang cheh uvin.
At that time I charged your judges: “Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge fairly between a man and his brother or a foreign resident.
17 Chule thutanna hoa sihneina ima nei hihhel uvin. Ahao hihen avai chung hi jongleh thutan ding chu phatah in kholchil sohkeiyun. Mi khattou lunghan jeh in kicha hih uvin, ajeh chu adih’e tia thu natan uchu Pathen dei ahi. Amavang thutan ding ahahsa behseh aum leh keima henga hin lhut uvin, keiman hichu katan ding ahi.
Show no partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”
18 Hichun keiman ijakai bol ding jouse naheng uva kaseipeh soh keiyin ahi.
And at that time I commanded you all the things you were to do.
19 Pakai, Pathen in eithu peh bang uchun, Sinai mol dalhan gamthip lah’a kichapum in ikitol uvin, Amor mite chenna lam ijon tauvin Kadesh-barnea mun ilhung tauve.
And just as the LORD our God had commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites, through all the vast and terrifying wilderness you have seen. When we reached Kadesh-barnea,
20 Hichun keiman hiti hin kaseiye, ‘Tun nangho Amor mite chenna gam Pakai, Pathen in eipeh nau gam i-lhung tauvin ahi.
I said: “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.
21 Vetan! Pakaiyin na masang lam uva gam nakoi peh tauvin ahi. Cheuvin lang galo tauvin ajeh chu na Pakai, na Pathen uchun nangho dinga kitepna anei ahi. Kicha hih uvin, chule lungthoi hih un, ati.
See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”
22 Ahinlah naboncha uvin kahenga hiti hin nasei uve, ‘Amasan ei lamkai diuvin misol masa ute chutileh amahon ilhunna diu lampi aboncha ahin hetthem diu, chuteng hoilai khopi muna chu ilhun thei uvem kicheh ding ahi.
Then all of you approached me and said, “Let us send men ahead of us to search out the land and bring us word of what route to follow and which cities to enter.”
23 Hichu pha kasan, mi somleni kalheng doh in, ama ama insung kai lhah akona mikhat cheh ahiuve.
The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.
24 Amaho gamthip lama chun achepeh uvin chule Eshcol phaicham ahung gei tauvin, hiche muna chun aum tauvin ahi.
They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the land.
25 Amahon gamsung gasoh phabep ahin choi un hitihin asei uve. “Pakai, Pathen in eipeh nau gam khu tahbeh in apha lheh jenge, atiuvin ahi.”
They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us word: “It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
26 Ahinlah nanghon Pakai, Pathen thupeh nit louvin agam sunga che ding nanom pouve.
But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
27 Na ponbuh uva kon in hiti hin na seiyun, ‘Pakaiyin eimu dauvin ahileh ‘Hijeh achu Egypt gam'a kona eihin puidoh uva, Amor mite thagam sah ding ati, ahi.’
You grumbled in your tents and said, “Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be annihilated.
28 Tua hoiya iche diu hitam? Isopite houvin thil um chan ijakai asei uvin, ‘Agammite khu eiho sang in asang thei un chule eiho sang in jong athahat theijun, akhopi hou jong alen thei in chule khopi kul kigen ho jong asang theijin chunga thangvan aphai! Chule hiche muna chun Anak chilhahte jong kamu uve.’
Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying: ‘The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the heavens. We even saw the descendants of the Anakim there.’”
29 Ahinlah keiman hiti hin ka seipeh uve, ‘Amaho jeh in tija hih in, ki jong kicha hih in!
So I said to you: “Do not be terrified or afraid of them!
30 Na Pakai, na Pathen'u na masang lama uva achejing in ahi. Egypt gam'a namu bang uva, Pakaiyin nangho dinga gal asat ding ahi.
The LORD your God, who goes before you, will fight for you, just as you saw Him do for you in Egypt
31 Mipan acha akhohsah bang in, Pakai, Pathen in nache lena gamthip lamlhung keiya iti nahin puigal kaiham, ti nangman na hesoh keiyin ahi.
and in the wilderness, where the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way by which you traveled until you reached this place.”
32 Ahinlah hichan geiya anatoh jouvin, nanghon na Pakai, na Pathen'u na tahsan hih laiyuve,
But in spite of all this, you did not trust the LORD your God,
33 amachu namasang lamuva achen munpha laipen achun ngahmun asem in chule janteng meivah khoma naveng jiuvin, sunteng meibol khoma na lhonpi jiuvin ahi.’
who went before you on the journey, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, to seek out a place for you to camp and to show you the road to travel.
34 Pakaiyin na phunchel nahou ahin jadoh tan ahileh, alung hang lheh jeng tan, lungdamsel in kitepna aneiyin ahi.
When the LORD heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,
35 Itinama jongleh nanghon hiche khanga lungphat louna keng puma napu, napateu khanga pat peh dinga ka tepsa gam khu nalo louhel diu ahi.
“Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,
36 Jephunneh chapa Caleb bouvin alo ding ahi. Aman hiche gam hi amu ding ahi, ajeh chu lunglha louva Pakai thupeh juijing ahi. Ama le achilhah ten hiche gam sung phabep masanga agamu masat bang uva alo diu ahi.
except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
37 Nangho jeh in keima chung jeng ajong Pakai alungphamo tan. Aman aseiyin, “Mose, nangma jeng jong gam tepna nalut lou ding ahi!”
The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.
38 Nangma khela Nun chapa Joshua chun mipi aboncha gamsung chana alamkai ding ahi. Ama chu tilkhou vin, ajeh chu aman Israel miten alodiu gam sung chana alam kai ding ahitai.
Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.
39 Keiman gam khu na chate kho hepha-loulai ho ka chensah ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon eimat gamdiu ahitin na kichauve, hinlah amahon alo diu ahi.
And the little ones you said would become captives—your children who on that day did not know good from evil—will enter the land that I will give them, and they will possess it.
40 Tun nangho kileuvin gamthip jotpeh in, twipi san lam jon in che tauvin.
But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
41 Chule nachonset phong uvin, “Pakai adia chonse kahi tauve! Pakai thupeh banga, gamsung akhu kache uva gal kaga sat diu ahi.” Ajeh chu namite hon athal cheh aki choiyun, gamsung lo ding khu baikhen chan agel un ahi.
“We have sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
42 Amavang Pakaiyin nangho koma seiyin tin thupeh aneiye, ‘Galsat nasat lou ding ahi, ajeh chu keiman kalhonpi lou ding, nangho bou na cheuva ahileh, nagal miteuvin nasat gam diu ahi.
But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
43 Hiche hi keiman kaseipeh nahiuve, hinlah nangaisah pouvin, avelin Pakai doumah bolin galsat in nakon un ahi.
So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
44 Chuin Amor mite chu khoite jat bang in ahung kon tauvin, Seir le Hormah chan geiyin nahin delkhum tauve.
Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45 Chuin Pakai henga kappum in nakile uvin, hinlah Aman nataona asang tapoi.
And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.
46 Hiti chun Kadesh muna phatsottah nacheng tauvin ahi.
For this reason you stayed in Kadesh for a long time—a very long time.
