< Deuteronomy 32 >
1 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth!
Oe kalvannaw thai awh haw, lawk ka dei han. Oe talai ka dei e lawk thai haw.
2 My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.
Kaie phunglawk teh kho patetlah masimmasim a rak han. Ka lawk teh tadamtui patetlah a bo han. Patue e naw dawk ka rak e kho patetlah thoseh, phonaw dawk moikapap e kho patetlah thoseh ao han.
3 For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto our God!
BAWIPA e min teh ka pâpho, maimae Cathut lentoenae teh pâpho awh.
4 [He is] the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A God of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.
Ama teh lungsongpui doeh, a tawksak e akuep. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lamthung teh a lan, yuemkamcu e Cathut, yon tawn hoeh, katang e hoi kalan e BAWIPA lah ao.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: — A crooked and perverted generation!
Ahnimouh a rawk awh toe. Cathut e ca lah awm awh hoeh, toun hoeh kawi lah awm awh hoeh. A lungthin a longkawi teh ka payon e miphun lah ao awh.
6 Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee and established thee?
Oe lungangnae ka tawn hoeh e kapathunaw, BAWIPA e pahrennae hettelamaw na pathung awh han. Ka kawkhikkung na pa nahoehmaw, na sak awh teh na caksak awh hoeh maw.
7 Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.
Ayan e taminaw pahnim hanh awh, Se moi kaloum tangcoung e pouk awh, na pa pacei nateh na dei pouh han, kacuenaw pacei nateh ahnimouh ni a dei awh han.
8 When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.
Lathueng Poung ni Adam catoun lah kaawm e naw hah a kapek teh, râw a rei navah, Isarelnaw a youn a pap e hah a khet teh miphun onae hmuen a khuen pouh.
9 For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance.
BAWIPA e ham teh a taminaw doeh. Jakop teh a coe e râw doeh.
10 He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye.
Tami kingdinae koe sarang a hram, thingyeiyawn koe Jakop a hmu toteh, khik a vuiluk teh mitmu patetlah a ring.
11 As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,
Mataw ni a tabu a raphoe teh, a canaw lathueng a rathei a kadai teh, a canaw a rathei hoi a tawm e patetlah,
12 So Jehovah alone did lead him, And no strange god [was] with him.
BAWIPA dueng ni doeh Jakop a hrawi, alouke cathut ahni koe awm hoeh.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;
Talai rasangnae koe hmuen a poe teh, talai a pawhik hah a ca teh, lungha dawk e khoitui hai thoseh, lungtaw dawk e satui hai thoseh,
14 Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.
Tuca thaw, Bashannaw e tutan, maitotan, hmae thaw, satun, kuen dawk e ahrei, maito sanutui, tu sanutui nei hane hoi misur tui thipaling na nei.
15 Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked — Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; — He gave up God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
Hatei, Jeshurun teh a thâw dawk khok hoi a pâthui. Na thâw, na len, ahrei hoi na kawi dawkvah, na kasakkung Cathut na pahnawt teh rungngangnae lungsong banglahai na noutna hoeh.
16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger.
Ahnimouh teh alouke cathut lahoi utsin sak awh. Panuet ka tho e hno lahoi a lungkhuek sak awh.
17 They sacrificed unto demons who are not God; To gods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not.
Cathut hoeh e kahrai, panue boihoeh e cathut, mintoenaw ni a taki awh hoeh e cathut koe thuengnae a sak awh.
18 Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten God who brought thee forth.
Na kasakkung lungsong banglahai na ngâi awh hoeh. Na pa lah kaawm e Cathut hah na pahnim toe.
19 And Jehovah saw it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.
BAWIPA ni hot hah a hmu nah, a lungkhuek, a canu capanaw ni a pahnawt dawkvah.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.
Kai ni ka minhmai ka hro han, bangtelamaw apoutnae ao han tie ka khet han, lungkapatak e miphun, yuemkamcu hoeh e canaw lah ao awh.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no God; They have exasperated me with their vanities; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people; With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.
Cathut lah kaawm hoeh e hno lahoi utsinnae tawn sak hanelah a sak awh toe. Ayawmyin e hnopai lahoi lung na khuek sak awh toe. Hatdawkvah, miphun lah kaawm hoeh e lahoi ahnimouh utsin sak hanelah lungkaang hoeh e miphun lahoi lungkhueksak hanelah ka sak han.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol, And shall consume the earth and its produce, And set fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol )
Ka lungkhuek teh hmai ka sawi. Kadung poung e sheol totouh a kak han. Talai dawk e a pawhik kamtawisak vaiteh mon kamhungnae totouh a kak han. (Sheol )
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; Mine arrows will I spend against them.
Ahnimouh lathueng runae ka thueng pouh han, kaie palanaw hah koung ka ka han.
24 They shall be consumed with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teeth of beasts will I send against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.
Vonhlamrinci a khang awh han. Kâannae, puenghoi rawknae lahoi a rawk awh han. Sarangnaw e hâ thoseh, talai dawk kaawm e tahrunsue thoseh, ahnimouh koe ka patoun han.
25 From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror — Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
Alawilah tahloi hoi duenae, imthung taki ka tho e runae ni thoundoun tangla thoseh, sanu ka net lahun e camo hoi a sam ka po tangcoung e matawng thoseh a raphoe han.
26 I would say, I will scatter, I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,
Taran kâoupnae ka taket hoeh nakunghai thoseh,
27 If I did not fear provocation from the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it, Lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Jehovah has not done all this.
Tarannaw a kâoup awh teh, hete hnopueng BAWIPA ni sak hoeh, ka lentoe e maimae kut ni doeh a sak ati han. Kai lungpuen han ka tawn hoeh nakunghai ahnimouh hah talai pout totouh kampek sak vaiteh, apinihai a pouk hoeh nahanlah ka raphoe han telah pouknae ka tawn.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, And understanding is not in them.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungangnae tawn awh hoeh, poukthainae hai tawn awh hoeh.
29 Oh that they had been wise! they would have understood this, They would have considered their latter end!
Lungangnae tawn awh pawiteh, hete hno heh a thaipanuek awh han ei, hmalae kong hah a pouk awh han ei telah a ti.
30 How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?
A kângue awh e lungsong ni ahnimouh yawt awh hoeh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh poe hoehpawiteh, tami buet touh ni tami 1,000 touh bangtelamaw a pâlei thai han. Tami kahni touh ni tami thong hni touh bangtelamaw yawngsak thai han.
31 For their rock is not as our Rock: Let our enemies themselves be judges.
Maimae tarannaw ni a hmunae dawk teh ahnimae lungsong hoi maimae lungsong kâvan hoeh.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of poison, Bitter are their clusters;
Ahnimae misurkung teh Sodom ram e doeh. Gomorrah talai dawk ka pâw e a kung doeh. Ahnimae misurpaw teh kakhat e a kung dawk e a paw lah ao teh, misurbomnaw teh kakhat e hoi doeh a kawi.
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of vipers.
Ahnimae misurtui teh khorui sue, ka patawpoung e hrunthoe sue lah doeh ao.
34 Is not this hidden with me, Sealed up among my treasures?
Hothateh kai koe a pâtung toe. Hnoim dawk hruek lah awm hoehnamaw.
35 Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Moipathungnae teh kai ni ka sak hane doeh. Atueng akuep toteh ahnimae khok a tâlaw han. Ahnimouh koe runae pha nahane tueng a hnai toe. A kâhmo awh hane runae karangpounglah a tho han toe.
36 For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.
BAWIPA ni a taminaw hanelah lawk a ceng han. A taminaw teh bahu a baw toe, a paung e ka hlout e buet touh boehai ao hoeh e hah a hmu navah, ahnimouh pahren vaiteh,
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, Their rock in whom they trusted,
Ahnimae cathut, ahnimouh ni a kângue awh e talung nâne ao.
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you.
Ahnimouh ni a thuengnae a thâw hah a ca awh teh, nei thuengnae misur kanetnaw teh namaw ao. Thaw awh naseh, nangmouh na kabawm awh naseh.
39 See now that I, I am HE, And there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, And there is none that delivereth out of my hand,
Kai, kama roeroe Cathut tie thoseh, kai hloilah alouke cathut awmhoeh tie thoseh, khenhaw! ka thei thai, ka hringsakthai, moihna ka thosak thai, ka damsak thai, ka kut dawk hoi apini na lawm thai mahoeh.
40 For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever!
A yungyoe kahring e doeh telah kalvan lah ka kut ka dâw teh thoe ka kâbo.
41 If I have sharpened my gleaming sword, And my hand take hold of judgment, I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.
Loukloukkaang e tahloi ka kata teh, lawkcengnae ka patuep teh, ka tarannaw koe moi ka pathung han. Kai na kahmuhmanaw koe kamculah ka pathung han.
42 Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; [I will make them drunk] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy.
Ka palanaw hah thipaling hoi ka paruisak vaiteh, ka tahloi ni a moi a ca han. Thei lah kaawm e sannaw e thipaling hoi taranbawinaw e a lû a ca pouh han.
43 Shout for joy, ye nations, with his people, For he avengeth the blood of his servants, And rendereth vengeance to his enemies, And maketh atonement for his land, for his people.
Jentel miphunnaw nangmouh ni Cathut e a taminaw hoi lung rei hawi awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie sannaw theinae yon hoi kâki lah runae ka rek teh, a tarannaw koe yon moipathung han toe. A ram hoi a taminaw yontha pouh han.
44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.
Mosi hoi Nun capa Joshua a tho roi teh hete la lawknaw pueng hah tami pueng koe a dei pouh roi.
45 And when Moses had ended speaking all these words to all Israel,
Hottelah hete lawknaw Mosi ni Isarelnaw koe he a dei hnukkhu,
46 he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to take heed to do, all the words of this law.
Nangmouh koe sahnin ka pâpho e lawknaw pueng heh na lungthung pâkuem awh. Na canaw ni hete kâlawk pueng hah a tarawi awh nahanelah, ahnimouh koe bout dei pouh awh.
47 For it is no vain word for you, but it is your life, and through this word ye shall prolong your days on the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.
Hete hno heh rumram e nahoeh, nangmouh na hringnae hoi kâkuen e doeh. Jordan palang na raka awh teh na pang awh hane ram dawk hete hno na tarawi pawiteh, na hring a saw awh han telah a dei.
48 And Jehovah spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
Hot hnin vah BAWIPA ni Jeriko namran Moab ram Abiram monrui Nebo monsom a luen teh,
49 Go up into this mountain Abarim, mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession,
Isarelnaw hah kai ni ka poe e ram hah khenhaw.
50 and die on the mountain whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died on mount Hor, and was gathered unto his peoples;
Na hmau Aron teh Hor mon vah a due teh a taminaw a kamkhuengnae koe a pha e patetlah nang hai na luennae hete mon dawk dout nateh na taminaw kamkhuengnae koe phat lawih.
51 because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye hallowed me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh ni Zin thingyeiyawn, Kadesh kho Meribah tui teng vah, Isarelnaw hmalah kai barinae tawn laipalah na yon awh toe.
52 For thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw koe ka poe e ram hah nang ni na mit hoi na hmu nakunghai, hote ram dawk na kâen mahoeh telah Mosi koe a dei pouh.
