These, are the words, which Moses spake unto all Israel, over the Jordan, —in the wilderness in the waste plain over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban and Hazeroth and Di-zahab:
2 Kadeshbarnea hateh, Seir mon lam lahoi Horeb e a onae hoi hnin 11 lamcei ahla.
eleven days from Horeb, by way of Mount Seir, as far as Kadesh-barnea.
3 Mosi ni Heshbon khopui kaawm e, Amor Siangpahrang Sihon thoseh, Edrei ram, Ashtaroth khopui kaawm e Bashan siangpahrang Og thoseh, a thei hnukkhu
And it came to pass, in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in charge for them;
4 Kum 40 thapa yung 11 apasuek hnin dawk Moab ram
after he had smitten Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, —and Og, king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, in Edrei:
5 Jordan palang teng vah, Cathut ni lawk a poe tangcoung e patetlah Isarelnaw koe bout a dei e kâlawk hateh,
over the Jordan, in the land of Moab, did Moses take in hand to expound this law, saying: —
6 Maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni, Horeb hmuen dawk, na dei pouh e teh, nangmouh ni atueng a kuep ditouh hete mon dawk na o awh toe.
Yahweh our God, spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Long enough, have ye dwelt in this mountain:
7 Kamlang awh nateh bout kamthaw awh haw. Amor mon totouh thoseh, hote mon hoi kahnai e hmuen tanghling, akalah, tuipui teng, Kanaan ram, Lebanon mon, Euphrates tuipui totouh cet awh haw.
Turn ye and set yourselves forward, and enter into the hill country of the Amorites, and into all the places near, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and in the coast of the sea, —the land of Canaan and the Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Hote ram teh nangmouh hmalah ka hruek toe. Cathut ni, nangmae na pa Abraham, Isak, Jakop koehoi kamtawng teh a catounnaw ka poe han telah lawk a kam e ram hah kâen nateh coe awh, telah atipouh.
See! I have set before you the land, —enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh sware unto your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them, and unto their seed, after them.
9 Hatnavah, Kai ni nangmouh koe ka dei e thaw heh ka madueng ka phawt thai mahoeh.
So I spake unto you, at that time saying, I am unable, by myself, to carry you.
10 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh na pung sak awh vaiteh, nangmouh teh kalvan âsi patetlah sahnin na o awh.
Yahweh your God hath multiplied you, and here ye are to-day, like the stars of the heavens for multitude.
11 Nangmae na pa BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh teh alet 1000 lahoi na pung sak naseh. Lawk a kam e patetlah yawhawi na poe a seh.
Yahweh, the God of your fathers, be adding unto you the like of you, a thousand times, —and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you!
12 Na tawntamnae, thawtawknae, kâyuekâounnae hnokari kai ka madueng ni bangtelamaw ka phu thai han.
How should I carry by myself the fatigue of you and the burden of you and your controversies?
13 A lungkaangnaw, ka thaipanueknaw, hoi ka thoumthainaw hah na miphun thung hoi rawi awh. Ahnimanaw hah ka hrawikung lah ka hruek han telah dei awh pawteh,
Set forth for you—men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, —that I may appoint them to be heads over you.
14 nangmouh ni, na dei e patetlah ahawi telah bout a dei awh.
And ye answered me, —and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done.
15 Hatdawkvah na miphunnaw dawk mitkhet kamcu e kacuenaw panuenae ka tawn naw ka rawi hnukkhu nangmouh koe kacue thaw ka tawk hanelah 1,000 ka uk hane, 100 ka uk hane, 50 ka uk hane, 10 ka uk hane ukkungnaw hah ka rawi.
So I took heads for your tribes wise men and known, and placed them as heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers for your tribes.
16 Lawkcengkungnaw hai, na hmaunawnghanaw e kamcan hah a thai awh vaiteh, hmaunawngha reira e kamcan thoseh, Jentelnaw hoi e kamcan thoseh kalancalah lawkceng awh.
And I charged your judges, at that time, saying, —Ye are to hear between your brethren and shall judge righteously, between each man and his brother and his sojourner.
17 Lawkcengnae dawkvah, apie minhmai hai khen hanh. Camo e lawk hah kacue e lawk patetlah pouk. Apihai taket hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawkcengnae teh Cathut e doeh. Na dei thai hoeh e kamcan hah kai koe thokhai awh. Kai ni hai ka thai han telah lawk a thui.
Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment—so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, —but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it.
18 Nangmouh ni na sak awh hane naw hai hatnavah kâ na poe toe.
So I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19 Kaimouh ni Horeb hmuen koehoi ka tâco awh teh, Amor mon totouh ceinae lam teng vah, takikathopounge kahrawngum ka cei awh teh Kadeshbarnea hmuen koe ka pha awh.
And when we brake up from Horeb, we came through all that great and terrible desert which ye saw, by way of the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us, —and we entered in as far as Kadesh-barnea.
20 BAWIPA ni kâ na poe e patetlah hatnavah kai nihai, maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe awh e Amor mon vah nangmouh ni na pha awh toe.
Then said I unto you, —Ye are come in as far as the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.
21 Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni ram kahawi teh nangmouh hmalah ka hruek toe. Nangmae napanaw e BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah cet awh nateh lawm awh, taket awh hanh, na lung hai pout awh hanh telah a dei.
See thou—Yahweh thy God hath set before thee the land, —go up—take possession as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee, do not fear, neither be dismayed.
22 Hatnavah nangmanaw pueng ni kai koe na tho awh teh, kaimae hmalah taminaw ka patoun han. Ahnimouh ni hote ram hah a rip awh hnukkhu, kaimouh teh nâ lam cet pawiteh, bang khopui dawk pha awh han doeh telah a dei awh han telah a dei awh e heh,
And ye came near unto me all of you, and said Let us send men before us, that they may search out for us the land, —and bring us back word, the way by which we must go up, and the cities whereinto we must enter,
23 kai ni ka ngai dawkvah miphun buet touh dawk tami buet touh, asumkum 12 touh hah na rawi awh.
And the thing, was good in mine eyes, —so I took from among you twelve men, one man for each tribe.
24 Ahnimouh ni mon koe lah a kamlang awh teh Eshkol tanghling koe a pha awh teh a tuet awh.
And they turned and went up the hill-country, and entered in as far as the ravine of Eshcol, and explored it.
25 Hote ram dawk e a paw a hrawm awh teh a thokhai navah, maimae Cathut ni na poe e ram teh kahawi e ram doeh telah a dei awh eiteh,
And they took in their hand of the fruit of the country, and bare it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said, Good is the land, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.
26 Nangmouh ni na cet awh laipalah, namamae BAWIPA Cathut e kâ na ek awh.
Nevertheless ye were not willing to go up, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, your God;
27 Cathut ni maimouh na hmuhma teh raphoe sak han na ngai awh dawkvah, Amornaw e kut dawk na poe hanlah, Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai awh khe.
and murmured in your tents and said, Because Yahweh hated us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, —to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Maimouh ni bangtelamaw cei awh han toung, hmaunawnghanaw ni hote kho dawk e taminaw teh maimouh hlak a len awh. A rasang poung awh. Kalvan ka deng e khopui, rapan hai ao. Hote kho dawk Anakim miphunnaw ka hmu awh telah maimae lungthin a raphoe toe telah nangmouh ni rimnaw dawk na taran awh toe.
Whither, are, we, to go up? Our own brethren, have made our heart melt saying—A people greater and taller than we, cities large and walled-up into the heavens, —yea, moreover sons of Anakim, have we seen there.
29 Hatnavah kai ni, puen hanh awh, ahnimouh taket a hanh awh.
Then I said unto you, —Ye must not tremble, nor be afraid of them:
30 Nangmae hmalah ka cet e nangmae Cathut ni na hmalae Izip ram hai thoseh,
Yahweh your God, who is going before you, he, will fight for you, —according to all that he did with you in Egypt, before your eyes;
31 nangmouh ni na dawn e lam, hete hmuen totouh a na pa ni a ca a tapam e patetlah nangmae Cathut ni nangmouh na tapam teh, lungmanae na coenae kahrawng hai thoseh, nangmouh han a sak e patetlah nangmouh koe lah taran na kabawp awh han telah a dei nakunghai,
also in the desert which thou hast seen, where Yahweh thy God carried thee as a man will carry his son, throughout all the way that ye journeyed, until ye entered as far as, this place.
32 nangmouh ni rim tumpup nahan hmuen tawng awh nateh na cei awh nahan lam na patue hanelah karum vah hmai dawk thoseh, khodai lah tâmai dawk thoseh,
But in this thing, ye were putting no trust in Yahweh your God;
33 nangmae hmalah ka cet e Cathut e lawk hah hote kong dawk nangmouh ni na yuem awm hoeh toe.
who was going before you in the way—to search out for you a place, where ye might encamp, —in the fire by night, that ye might get sight of the way wherein ye should go, and in the cloud, by day.
34 Nangmae lawk Cathut ni a thai nah a lungkhuek teh,
And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, —and was wroth and sware—saying:
35 ahnimae mintoenaw ka poe han ka tie ka lawkkam ram kahawi hah Jephunneh capa Kalep hloilah hete kathoute Miphunnaw buet touh ni boehai kâen awh mahoeh.
Surely, not one of these men, this wicked generation, —shall see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers:
36 Ahni teh Cathut e hnuk roup a kâbang dawk a kâen. A coungroe e ram hah ahni koehoi kamtawng teh ahnie catounnaw ka poe han telah lawk ka kam.
saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons, —because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.
37 Ahnimouh han Cathut ni, kai koehai a lungkhuek, nang teh hote ram na coe mahoeh.
Even with me, did Yahweh show himself angry, for your sakes, saying, —Even thou, shalt not enter therein.
38 Na kut rahim e Nun capa Joshua ni a coe han. Ahni teh Isarelnaw râw ka coe sak hanelah ao dawk. Ahni hah thapoe haw.
Joshua son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he, shall enter in thither, him, strengthen thou, for he, shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Taran ni a lawp e lah ao han na ti awh e camonaw, hatnavah thoe hoi hawi kapek thai hoeh rae canu capanaw ni, hote ram a coe awh vaiteh, kai ni ka poe e patetlah a lawp awh han.
And your little ones, of whom ye said they should become, a prey, and your sons who to-day know not good and evil, they, shall enter in thither, —and unto them, will I give it, and they, shall possess it.
40 Nangmouh teh na kamlang awh vaiteh tuipuipaling lam lahoi kahrawng lah bout cet awh ei telah a ti.
But as for you, turn ye, for your part, —and set forward towards the desert, by way of the Red Sea.
41 Nangmouh ni hai, kaimouh ni Cathut hah koe ka payon awh toe. Maimae Cathut ni lawk na thui awh e patetlah atu cei awh vaiteh taran tuk han telah na dei pouh teh, tami pueng puengcang rip a patuep awh teh, mon lah takhang hanelah coungkacoe ao awh.
Then responded ye and said unto me—We have sinned against Yahweh, We, ourselves, will go up, and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God hath commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye foolishly went up towards the hill-country.
42 Cathut ni hai tuk awh hanh, nangmouh koe lah kai kaawm hoeh, na tuk awh pawiteh taran hmalah na sung awh han telah kai ni ka dei e patetlah,
Then said Yahweh unto me—Say unto them Ye shall not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, —lest ye should be smitten before your enemies.
43 kai ni ka dei nakunghai nangmouh ni na tarawi awh hoeh. Cathut e kâ eknae hoi mon lah na luen awh.
So I spake unto you howbeit ye hearkened not, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and presumptuously went up the hill-country.
44 Hatnavah mon dawkvah la kaawm e Amor miphunnaw ni nangmouh koe lah a tâco teh, khoi ni a rongyawn e patetlah nangmouh na kayo awh teh Seir hoi Hormah khopui totouh na thei awh.
Then came forth the Amorites who were dwelling in that country, to meet you, and they chased you, as do, bees; and struck you down in Seir, as far as Hormah.
45 Nangmouh hai bout na tho awh teh, Cathut hmalah na khui na ka awh. Hatei nangmae na lawk hah Cathut ni thai hoeh.
So then ye returned and wept before Yahweh, —but Yahweh hearkened not unto your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
46 Hatdawkvah Kadesh hmuen dawk yampa na o awh e patetlah moi ka saw lah na o awh.
And ye abode in Kadesh many days, —how many were the days that ye abode [there]!
