Deuteronomy 1
1 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.
Hekah olka he Jordan rhalvang kah khosoek, Suph imdan kolken Paran laklo neh Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth neh Dizahab ah Israel boeih ham Mosesloh a thuipah.
2 It is an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir.
Te vaengah Seir tlang long kah Horeb lamkah Kadeshbarnea he hnin rha hlai at longcaeh hla pueng.
3 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.
Kum likipa lo vaengkaha hla hlai at kah hla lamhma cuek dongah BOEIPAkaha uen boeih te Israel carhoek ham Mosesloh a thuipah.
4 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.
Heshbon ahaka ngol Amori manghai Sihon neh Edrei kah Ashtaroth ahaka ngol Bashan manghai Ogaa tloek phoeiah,
5 On the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying:
Moab kho kah Jordan rhalvang ah BOEIPA kah olkhueng te Mosesloh koea thuicaih tih,
6 The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
“Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathenloh Horeb aha thui tah, 'Hekah tlang ah na omuh khaw rhoehcoeng.
7 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.
Nangmih te hooiuh lamtah hlahuh laeh. Amori tlang neh a imben boeih ah, kolken tlang neh kolrhawk ah khaw, Negev neh Kanaan kho kah tuitun langkaeng long khaw, Lebanon tuiva Perath tuiva puei duela cetuh.
8 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.”
Nangmih mikhmuh kah khohmuen kam paek he hmuhuh. Cetuh lamtah panguh. Tekah khohmuen teni BOEIPAloh na parhoek Abraham taengah, Isaak taengah, Jakob taengah khaw amih phoeikah a tii a ngan taengah khaw paek ham la ola coeng.
9 At that time I said to you, “I cannot carry the burden for you alone.
Te vaeng tue ah nangmih taengah ka thui vanbangla, “Nangmih khuen ham he kai loh kan na moenih.
10 The LORD your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
BOEIPA na Pathenloh nangmih m'ping sak coeng dongah tihnin ah tah vaan kah aisi banglana yetcoeng.
11 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times over and bless you as He has promised.
Na parhoek kah BOEIPA Pathenloh nangmih taengkaha thui vanbang la nangmih tea pueh thawng khat lam khaw n'thap saeh lamtah yoethen m'pae saeh.
12 But how can I bear your troubles, burdens, and disputes all by myself?
Tedae nangmih kah laipuei neh hnophueih neh tuituknahte kai loh metlam ka phueih thai eh?
13 Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”
Te dongah namah koca khui lamkahaka cueih tihaka yakming nehaka ming thai hlang rhoekte namamih ham tuekuh lamtah amihte nangmihkaha lu la ka khueh eh?,’ ka ti.
14 And you answered me and said, “What you propose to do is good.”
Te vaengah kai te nan doouh tih, 'Na ol thui tete then, saii hamom,’na tiuh.
15 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.
Te dongahaka cueih tihaka ming hlang rhoekte namamih koca rhoek kah a lu la ka khueh eh. Te vaengah thawngkhat kah mangparhoek, yakhat kah mangparhoek, sawmnga kah mangparhoek neh hlangrha kah mangparhoek te nangmih soaha lu la ka khueh tih nangmih kocarhoek kah rhoiboei la om uh.
16 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.
Te vaengah nangmih taengkah laitloekrhoek te ka uen tih, 'Na manuca rhoek loh a yaak koi la hlang neh a manuca lakloah khaw yinlai laklo ah khaw duengnah neh laitloekuh.
17 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.”
Laitloeknah dongah hlang maelhmai souh boeh. Tanoe kangham lana yaak akhaw hlang mikhmuh ah bakuepuh boeh. Laitloeknah he Pathen hut laaom dongah nangmih hamaka kuel olka te tah kai taengla hang khuenuh lamtah n'yaak sak uh,’ ka tinah.
18 And at that time I commanded you all the things you were to do.
Te vaeng tue kah nangmih kang uen olka boeih te saiiuh.
19 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,
Te dongah mamih BOEIPA Pathenkaha uen vanbangla Horeb lamkah m'puenuh tih khosoek khoham khaw boeihna hmuhuh. Rhih aka om Amori tlang long la n'cetuh tih Kadeshbarnea te m'phauh.
20 I said: “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.
Te vaengah nangmih taengah, “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathenloh mamih taengah m'paek Amori tlang lana pawkuh coeng.
21 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.”
Na parhoek kah BOEIPA Pathenloh nangmih taengah, 'Rhih boeh, rhihyawp boeh,’ a ti vanbangla nangmih mikhmuh ah na BOEIPA Pathen loh m'paek ke souh. Khohmuen ke cet lamtah pang laeh,’ ka ti.
22 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.”
Te vaengah kai taengla boeih na capituh tih, 'Mamih hmai ah hlang tueih uhsih lamtah khohmuen te ha hip uh saeh. Te daengah ni n'caeh hamkoi longpuei neh m'pha hamkoi khopueirhoek kah olkate mamih taengla hang khuen uh eh,” na tiuh.
23 The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.
Tekah olka ka mik dongaha thuem van dongah koca pakhatah hlangpakhat neh hlang hlai nitte nangmihkhui lamkah ka tuek.
24 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the land.
Te dongah hooiuh tih tlanglaa yoenguh phoeiah Eshkol soklong la pawkuh tihkhoa hipuh.
25 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.”
Te vaengah khohmuen thaihtae te a kut neha lohuh tih mammih taengla han suntlak puei uh phoeiah mamih ham olka ham voeihuh. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPAloh mamih taengah m'paek khohmuenkaha thente khawa thuiuh.
26 But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
Tedae caeh hamna huemuh pawt dongah na BOEIPA Pathen kah ol tena koekuh.
27 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.
Namamih kah dap khuiah pataengna cailakuh tih, 'Mamih kah BOEIPA kah hmuhuetnah dongah mamih mitmoeng sak hamni Egypt kho lamloh n'khuentih Amori kut dongla n'thak.
28 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.’”
Kaimih ta melam kacaeh uh eh? Mah manucaaka cetrhoek loh, 'Pilnamloh lenuh tih mamih lakah sang uh, khopueirhoekkhaw ka tihavong cakloh vaan duelaa pha, teahte Anakim carhoek khaw ka hmuh,’ a ti uh tih mamih kah lungbuei thinko hehoenga khahuh.
29 So I said to you: “Do not be terrified or afraid of them!
Nangmih te, “Amih taengahna sarhing sak boeh, rhihuh boeh,’ ka ti.
30 The LORD your God, who goes before you, will fight for you, just as you saw Him do for you in Egypt
Nangmih mikhmuh kahaka cet na Pathen BOEIPAloh Egypt ah nangmih ham namamih mikhmuh kaha saii bang boeih la nangmih hama vathoh bitni.
31 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.”
Hekah hmuen na phauhduena caehuhvaengah longpueng khing ah hlangloh a caa poeh bangla khosoek ah BOEIPA na Pathenloh nangmih m'poeh te khawna hmuhuh coeng.
32 But in spite of all this, you did not trust the LORD your God,
Tedae tekah olkaaom lalah nangmihloh BOEIPA na Pathen tena tangnahuh pawh.
33 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.
Longpueng ah na rhaehnah ham nangmih kah hmuen tlap te nangmih mikhmuh ah halo. Khoyinah hmai neh longpuei te nangmih n'tueng tih khothaihah cingmai nehna cetuh.
34 When the LORD heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,
Nangmih kah olka ol te BOEIPAloh a yaak vaengaha thintoek tih ola coeng.
35 “Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,
“Na parhoek taengah paek ham ka caeng khohmuen then te he kah boethae thawnpuei hlang rhoek khuikah hlangloh hmu mahpawh.
36 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.”
Jephunneh capa Kaleb long tah te a hmuh ni. BOEIPA hnukaha tlun van dongah a soaha cawt vanbangla khohmuen te anih taeng neh a carhoek taengahaka paek ni, ' a ti.
37 The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.
Nangmih kongah kai taengah khaw BOEIPAloh a thintoek tih, 'Nang khawna kun mahpawh.
38 Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.
Na mikhmuh ahaka pai Nun capa Joshua tah kun ni. Israel te anihloh a pang hamcoeng dongah anih te mah talonglaeh.
39 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.
Na ca te maeh la omnina tiuh cakhawa tue thae thenaka ming mueh na ca rhoek tah kun uh ni. Te dongah amih te khohmuen ka paek vetih amihloh a pang uh ni.
40 But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
Tedae nangmih te namamih maeluh lamtah carhaek li longpuei kah khosoekte paan uh,’ a ti.
41 “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.
Te vaengah kai he nan doouh tih, 'BOEIPA taengah ka tholhuh coeng. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPAkaha uen bangla boeih yoeng uhsih lamtah vathoh uh sih,’ na tiuh. Te dongah hlang khat rhip loh amah kah caemtloek tubael tea vahuh tih tlang la yoeng ham te na yoeikoeksakuh.
42 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.”
Tedae BOEIPAloh kai taengah, “Amih te thuipah. Cetuh boeh, vathohuh boeh, nangmih lakli ah ka om pawt dongah na thunkharhoek kah mikhmuh ahna yawkuh mahpawt nim,” a ti.
43 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.
Nangmih taengah ka thui daena ngaiuh pawt tih BOEIPA ol tena koekuh. Na lokhakuh tih tlang lana lueiuh.
44 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.
Te dongah nangmihaka doe ham tlang ahaka om Amori te halo tih khoiloh a cuk thil bangla nangmih te n'hloemuh phoeiah Seir lamkah Hormah duela nangmih te m'phopuh.
45 And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.
Te vaengahna balkhonguh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ahna rhapuh dae nangmih ol te BOEIPAloh a yaak voel mueh la nangmih taengaha hna khaw kaeng pawh.
46 For this reason you stayed in Kadesh for a long time—a very long time.
Te dongahni Kadesh kahna om uh te khohnin la khohnina yetna omuh.
