< Deuteronomy 9 >

1 Hear, O Israel: Thou are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
Oe Isarelnaw thai awh haw. Nangmouh hlak a thakasai e miphun hai thoseh, kalvan kadeng e rapan hoi ka kawi e khopuinaw hai thoseh,
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou know, and of whom thou have heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?
Anakim miphun hmalah bangtelah vai kangdue thai tie lawk na thai teh, na panue e Anakim miphun tie kalenpounge miphun hai thoseh, tuk nateh lawp hanelah atu Jordan tui raka tawmlei toe.
3 Know therefore this day, that Jehovah thy God is he who goes over before thee as a devouring fire. He will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee. So thou shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah has spoken to thee.
Hatdawkvah, na BAWIPA Cathut ni na hmalah a cei teh, ka kang e hmai patetlah ao teh, ahnimouh a raphoe vaiteh, na hmaitung vah, a tabo han tie hah na lungkuep awh. Cathut ni a dei e patetlah nang ni ahnimouh na pâlei awh vaiteh karang poung lah na raphoe awh han.
4 Do not speak thou in thy heart, after Jehovah thy God has thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah has brought me in to possess this land. Whereas for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah drives them out from before thee.
BAWIPA na Cathut ni ahnimouh nang koehoi a pâlei hnukkhu, nang ni kaie lannae dawk doeh BAWIPA ni hete ram ka kut dawk na poe telah na pouk payon vaih. Hote miphunnaw hawihoeh e dawk BAWIPA ni ka hmaitung hoi a pâlei telah pouk awh.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, do thou go in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah thy God drives them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Jehovah swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Na sak awh e hnokahawi dawk hai thoseh, lannae dawk hoi hai thoseh, hote ram a coe awh hane nahoeh. Hete miphunnaw hawihoeh dawk hoi thoseh, BAWIPA ni na pa Abraham, Isak, Jakop koe lawkkam e lawk hah, a caksak nahan na Cathut ni ahnimouh na hmalah hoi a pâlei e doeh.
6 Know therefore, that Jehovah thy God does not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness, for thou are a stiff-necked people.
Hatdawkvah, na BAWIPA ni nama e na hawinae dawk hoi, kahawipoung e ram na poe e nahoeh, nang teh na lahuen ka cak e miphun doeh.
7 Remember, do not thou forget how thou provoked Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou went forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.
Nang ni kahrawngum vah BAWIPA lung na khuek sak e hah, pahnim hanh. Izip ram hoi na tâco pasuek nah, hete hmuen koe na pha a totouh, BAWIPA koe taran lah na thaw awh.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you.
Horeb vah BAWIPA a lung na khuek sak awh teh, nangmouh raphoe hane totouh, BAWIPA hah a lungkhuek.
9 When I was gone up onto the mount to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, then I abode on the mount forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
BAWIPA hoi lawkkamnae thutnae talung, lungphen la hanelah, mon lah ka luen navah, hnin 40 touh thung vaiyei hoi tui ka catnet laipalah, mon vah ka o.
10 And Jehovah delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God. And on them was according to all the words, which Jehovah spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
BAWIPA Cathut ni lungphen kahni touh Cathut e kut hoi thut e na poe. Na kamkhueng hnin vah, mon som hmai dawk hoi a dei e lawknaw ao.
11 And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.
Ahnin 40 arum 40 akuep navah hote lawkkam lungphen kahni touh e teh, BAWIPA Cathut ni kai koe na poe.
12 And Jehovah said to me, Arise, get thee down quickly from here, for thy people that thou have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them. They have made them a molten image.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni Thaw nateh karang cathuk leih. Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai e taminaw a rawk awh toe, tarawi hane ka poe e lamthung a phen awh toe. Kutsak meikapawk doeh a bawk awh toe.
13 Furthermore Jehovah spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
BAWIPA ni, hete miphunnaw ka khet nah, a lahuen mangkhak e miphunnaw doeh.
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven, and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
Ka madueng na awm sak awh. Ahnimouh kai ni ka raphoe han. A min hai kalvan rahim vah ka raphoe han. Nang teh ahnimouh hlak tha na sai sak vaiteh, miphun ka pungdaw sak han telah a ti.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
Hatnavah lawkkam talung kahni touh ka sin teh, ka kamlang teh hmai ka kang e mon dawk hoi ka kum.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God. Ye had made you a molten calf. Ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
Nangmouh ni, BAWIPA Cathut koe na yon awh teh, maito meikaphawk hlun awh teh, Cathut ni lawk na poe e lamthung karang poung lah, na phen awh toe tie ka hmu navah,
17 And I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
Kut roi hoi ka patuep e lungphen, kahni touh e hah nangmae hmaitung vah ka raphei.
18 And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Nangmouh ni, BAWIPA lung na khuek sak nahanelah, a hmalah yonnae na sak awh e yon pueng dawkvah, yampa e patetlah BAWIPA hmalah ka tabo teh, hnin 40 rum 40 touh vaiyei hoi tui catnet laipalah ka o.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Jehovah was angry against you to destroy you. But Jehovah hearkened to me that time also.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni nangmouh na raphoe hanlah, puenghoi lungkhueknae a tâco sak e kai ni ka taki. Hatnavah BAWIPA ni kaie ka lawk bout na thai pouh.
20 And Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
BAWIPA ni Aron raphoe hanelah a lung puenghoi a khuek dawkvah, Aron hane lahai ka ratoum.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mount.
Yonnae tie na sak awh e maitoca hah ka la teh, a tui lah kalawng sak. A kanuikapin lah rekrek ka kanawi teh, mon dawk hoi ka lawng e palang dawk ka tâkhawng.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.
Taberah, Messah hmuen, Kiborthhattaavah hmuen koe hai, nangmouh ni BAWIPA hah a lungkhuek nahanlah na sak awh.
23 And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you, then ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and ye did not believe him, nor hearken to his voice.
Kadeshbarnea hoi BAWIPA ni cet awh nateh, kai ni na poe e ram hah lat awh. Nangmouh na patoun awh navah, nangmouh ni nangmae BAWIPA e kâ poe e na kangek awh. BAWIPA na yuem awh hoeh, lawk hai ngâi laipalah na o awh.
24 Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
Ka panue hnin hoi nangmouh teh BAWIPA hah na taran awh toe.
25 So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah had said he would destroy you.
BAWIPA ni nangmouh na raphoe han telah a dei dawkvah, kai teh yampa e patetlah hnin 40 rum 40 touh ka tabo.
26 And I prayed to Jehovah, and said, O lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, that thou have redeemed through thy greatness, that thou have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
BAWIPA koe, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, lentoenae hoi na ratang teh, thaonae kut hoi Izip hoi na tâcokhai e, nange râw lah kaawm e hete taminaw hah raphoe hanh loe.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their profaneness, nor to their sin,
Nange san Abraham, Isak, Jakop hah pahnim hanh. Hete miphunnaw teh a lungpatanae, a yonnae hoi a hawihoehnae pâkuem pouh hanh.
28 lest the land from where thou brought us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
Hottelah hoeh pawiteh, tâconae ram dawk e taminaw ni, Cathut ni a kam pouh e ram dawk, a thokhai thai hoeh dawkvah, a hmu ngaihoeh dawk na ou, kahrawngum thei hanelah a ngai dawk na ou ati han nahoehmaw.
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou brought out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm.
Hetnaw teh lentoenae hoi, na kut na dâw teh, na tâcokhai e nange râwnaw doeh telah kai ni ka ratoum.
