Kâboutpoenae 31

1 Mosi ni a cei teh Isarel miphun pueng koe bout a dei pouh e lawk teh,

And Moses goeth and speaketh these words unto all Israel,

2 kai kum 120 a kuep toe. Nangmouh koe ka kâhlai thai hoeh toe, BAWIPA ni hai Jordan palang na rakat mahoeh ati toe.

and he saith unto them, 'A son of a hundred and twenty years [am] I to-day; I am not able any more to go out and to come in, and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou dost not pass over this Jordan,

3 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na hmalah a raka teh hote khocanaw a raphoe vaiteh, ahnimae hmuen nangmouh ni na pang awh han. BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah Joshua ni nangmae hmalah a raka han.

'Jehovah thy God He is passing over before thee, He doth destroy these nations from before thee, and thou hast possessed them; Joshua — he is passing over before thee as Jehovah hath spoken,

4 BAWIPA ni hai Amor siangpahrang Sihon hoi Og dawk thoseh, a raphoe e ahnimae ram dawk thoseh, a sak e patetlah hote khocanaw dawk a sak han.

and Jehovah hath done to them as he hath done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.

5 BAWIPA ni ahnimouh nangmouh koe na poe vaiteh, lawk na poe e patetlah ahnimouh dawk a sak han.

And Jehovah hath given them before your face, and ye have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you;

6 Tha kâlat awh nateh, na taranhawi awh. Na lungtâsue awh hanh. Ahnimouh taket awh hanh. BAWIPA teh nangmae Cathut lah ao. Nangmouh hoi rei ka cet e teh BAWIPA doeh. Na hnoun mahoeh, na cettakhai mahoeh telah ati.

be strong and courageous, fear not, nor be terrified because of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] He who is going with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee.'

7 Joshua bout a kaw teh, tha kâlat nateh na taranhawi haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hete tami koe poe hanlah, mintoenaw koe thoebo e ram koelah ahnimouh hoi rei na cei vaiteh, râw na pang awh han.

And Moses calleth for Joshua, and saith unto him before the eyes of all Israel, 'Be strong and courageous, for thou — thou dost go in with this people unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to their fathers to give to them, and thou — thou dost cause them to inherit it;

8 Na hmalah BAWIPA a cei han, nang hoi rei ao han, hnuklah na kamlang takhai mahoeh, tâsue hanh, na lungpout hanh, telah Isarel miphunnaw hmalah a dei.

and Jehovah [is] He who is going before thee, He himself is with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.'

9 Mosi ni hete kâlawk a thut teh, BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong kâkayawn e Levih miphun vaihmanaw, Isarel miphun kacuenaw koe a poe teh,

And Moses writeth this law, and giveth it unto the priests (sons of Levi, those bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah), and unto all the elders of Israel,

10 Lawk a thui e teh, kum sari akuep nah sannaw hlout nahan sut oup e lukkareiim pawi tueng a pha navah,

and Moses commandeth them, saying, 'At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the feast of booths,

11 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni rawi e hmuen koe Isarel miphun pueng teh, a ham lah kâpâtue hanelah a tho awh toteh, hete kâlawk hah tamimaya hmalah na touk pouh han.

in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of Jehovah in the place which He chooseth, thou dost proclaim this law before all Israel, in their ears.

12 Tongpa, napui, camonaw nangmouh koe kaawm e imyinnaw ni a thai awh teh a kamtu awh teh BAWIPA na Cathut hah a taki awh teh hete kâlawk pueng hah kâhruetcuet laihoi a hringkhai awh nahanlah,

'Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared Jehovah your God, and observed to do all the words of this law;

13 ka thai hoeh rae a canaw ni hai a thai awh nahanlah Jordan palang namran lah cei vaiteh na pang awh hane ram dawk na o awh nathung BAWIPA na Cathut takinae a kamtu thai awh nahanlah pâkhueng loe telah kâ a poe.

and their sons, who have not known, do hear, and have learned to fear Jehovah your God all the days which ye are living on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.'

14 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, na due nahane tueng a hnai toe, Joshua kaw nateh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe hnai awh. Ahni lawk ka thui han telah atipouh. Hateh Mosi hoi Joshua teh kamnue hanelah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe a cei roi.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, thy days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the tent of meeting, and I charge him;' and Moses goeth — Joshua also — and they station themselves in the tent of meeting,

15 BAWIPA ni lukkareiim dawk tâmaikhom hoi a kamnue pouh teh, tâmaikhom ni lukkareiim takhang koe a kangdue.

and Jehovah is seen in the tent, in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud standeth at the opening of the tent.

16 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, na mintoenaw hoi na i han toe. Hete miphunnaw ni atu a pâtam awh e ram dawk kaawm e Jentelnaw ni a bawk e cathutnaw hoi a yon awh teh kai na pahnawt awh vaiteh lawkkam a raphoe awh han.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, thou art lying down with thy fathers, and this people hath risen, and gone a-whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land into the midst of which it hath entered, and forsaken Me, and broken My covenant which I made with it;

17 Hat toteh, kai ka lungkhuek vaiteh, ahnimouh ka kamlang takhai han. A rawk awh vaiteh lungpoutnae hoi rucatnae puenghoi a kâhmo awh han, hatnavah ahnimouh ni Cathut ni maimouh koe ao hoeh dawk hete rucatnae maimouh lathueng a pha nahoehmaw telah a dei awh han.

and Mine anger hath burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it hath been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it hath said in that day, Is it not because that my God is not in my midst — these evils have found me?

18 Ahnimouh ni alouke cathut koe a kamlang awh e yonae dawk, kai ni minhmai ka hro han.

and I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it hath done, for it hath turned unto other gods.

19 Hatdawkvah, hete la heh ahnimouh han thun pouh. Isarelnaw cangkhaih, Isarelnaw e kong dawk kapanuekkhaikung lah ao nahan a pahni dawk hrueng pouh.

'And now, write for you this song, and teach it the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel,

20 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na mintoenaw koe thoe ka bo e sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae ram koe ka hrawi awh vaiteh, ka boum lah a ca awh hnukkhu a thaw awh vaiteh cathut alouke koelah a kamlang awh han. A thaw tawk awh vaiteh kai na taran awh han, ka lawkkam a raphoe awh han.

and I bring them in unto the ground which I have sworn to their fathers — flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned unto other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant.

21 Rucatnae hoi yawthoenae pueng a kâhmo awh navah, hete la heh amamouh kapanuekkhaikung lah ao nahan a catounnaw e pahni dawk hai pahnim awh mahoeh. Kai ni thoeboe e ram dawk ka ceikhai hoehnahlan atu patenghai a pouknae ka panue toe telah ati.

'And it hath been, when many evils and distresses do meet it, that this song hath testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing to-day, before I bring them in unto the land of which I have sworn.'

22 Mosi ni hai hote hnin navah la a thut teh Isarelnaw a cangkhai.

And Moses writeth this song on that day, and doth teach it the sons of Israel,

23 Nun capa Joshua koe, tha kâlat nateh na taranhawi sak. Kai ni thoe ka bo e ram dawk Isarelnaw na kâenkhai han. Kai ni na okhai han, atipouh.

and He commandeth Joshua son of Nun, and saith, 'Be strong and courageous, for thou dost bring in the sons of Israel unto the land which I have sworn to them, and I — I am with thee.'

24 Mosi ni hete kâlawknaw cauk dawk be a pakhum hnukkhu,

And it cometh to pass, when Moses finisheth to write the words of this law on a book till their completion,

25 Lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e Levihnaw a kaw teh,

that Moses commandeth the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,

26 Hete kâlawk cauk lat awh nateh, namamouh na kapanuekkhaikung lah BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong hmalah hrueng awh.

'Take this Book of the Law, and thou hast set it on the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it hath been there against thee for a witness;

27 Nangmae miphun teh taranthawnae, lungpatanae na tawn awh tie ka panue. Khenhaw! sahnin na hringkhai nah patenghai BAWIPA na taran awh nahoehmaw. Ka due hnukkhu nah tawng teh hothlak na sak awh han rah.

for I — I have known thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck; lo, in my being yet alive with you to-day, rebellious ye have been with Jehovah, and also surely after my death.

28 Nangmae miphun dawk kacuenaw, kaukkungnaw abuemlah kai koe kamkhueng awh naseh. Hete lawknaw hah ahnimouh koe ka dei pouh vaiteh, kalvan hoi talai ka kaw han.

'Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak in their ears these words, and cause to testify against them the heavens and the earth,

29 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai ka due hnukkhu teh, khoeroe na rawk awh vaiteh, kai ni lawk na thui e lamthung dawk hoi na phen awh han tie hah ka panue. Hmalah toteh BAWIPA hmalah yonnae na sak awh vaiteh, na kut hoi na sak awh e lahoi a lungkhueknae na hroecoe awh dawkvah, nangmouh teh runae hoi na kâhmo awh han telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe.

for I have known that after my death ye do very corruptly, and have turned aside out of the way which I commanded you, and evil hath met you in the latter end of the days, because ye do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.'

30 Hottelah Mosi ni Isarel maya thainae koe hettelah lawknaw heh apout totouh koung a dei pouh.

And Moses speaketh in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, till their completion: —
