Deuteronomy 32
1 Heaven, listen as I speak; Earth, hear what I'm saying.
Oe kalvannaw thai awh haw, lawk ka dei han. Oe talai ka dei e lawk thai haw.
2 May my teaching fall gently like the rain; may my words drop lightly like the dew, like soft rain on new grass, like spring showers on growing plants.
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 I will praise the Lord's character. Tell everyone how great he is!
BAWIPA e min teh ka pâpho, maimae Cathut lentoenae teh pâpho awh.
4 He is the Rock. Everything he does is perfect, for all his ways are right. He is the trustworthy God who is never unjust; he is fair and honest.
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 His children have acted immorally towards him; so they are no longer his children because of their sinful stains. They are a perverse and corrupt people.
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 Is this any way to repay the Lord, you foolish, stupid people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Isn't he the one who turned you into a nation and made you strong?
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 olden days; think about times long ago. God and ask your father, and he will explain them to you. Talk to your elders, and they will let you know.
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 The Most High gave the nations their lands when he divided the human race; he fixed their borders depending on their gods.
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 But the Lord's people are his, Israel is his chosen one.
BAWIPA e ham teh a taminaw doeh. Jakop teh a coe e râw doeh.
10 He found you in a desert land, in a desolate wasteland of whirlwinds. He protected you; he cared for you; he looked after you as the one he loved the most.
Tami kingdinae koe sarang a hram, thingyeiyawn koe Jakop a hmu toteh, khik a vuiluk teh mitmu patetlah a ring.
11 Like an eagle watching over its nest, hovering over its chicks, he spread his wings and picked you up and carried you along.
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 The Lord was the only one who led you; no foreign god was with him.
BAWIPA dueng ni doeh Jakop a hrawi, alouke cathut ahni koe awm hoeh.
13 The Lord gave you the high country to rule, and fed you with the crops of the field to eat. He sustained you with honey from the rock and olive oil from the flinty crag,
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 with yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, along with the best wheat. You drank the wine made from the best grapes.
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 But Israel, you grew fat and rebelled—fat, overweight, and bloated with food. You abandoned the God who made you and despised the Rock of your 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 You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.
Ahnimouh teh alouke cathut lahoi utsin sak awh. Panuet ka tho e hno lahoi a lungkhuek sak awh.
17 You offered sacrifices to demons instead of God, to gods you didn't know anything about, to brand-new gods that your forefathers didn't worship.
Cathut hoeh e kahrai, panue boihoeh e cathut, mintoenaw ni a taki awh hoeh e cathut koe thuengnae a sak awh.
18 You dismissed the Rock who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
Na kasakkung lungsong banglahai na ngâi awh hoeh. Na pa lah kaawm e Cathut hah na pahnim toe.
19 The Lord rejected them when he saw this; his sons and daughters made him angry.
BAWIPA ni hot hah a hmu nah, a lungkhuek, a canu capanaw ni a pahnawt dawkvah.
20 He said: “I will turn away from them. Then I'll see what happens to them! They are a perverse people, unfaithful children.
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 made me jealous by worshiping things that are not God; they have made me angry with their useless idols. So I will make them jealous using a people that aren't really a nation; I will make them angry using ignorant foreigners.
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 My anger has been set on fire, burning down to the depths of the grave, destroying the earth and all it produces, even setting fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
23 I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.
Ahnimouh lathueng runae ka thueng pouh han, kaie palanaw hah koung ka ka han.
24 They will waste away from hunger, destroyed by disease and poisonous plague. I will send wild animals to bite them with their teeth, the fangs of snakes that slide along the ground.
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 Outside in the streets the sword kills their children, inside their homes, they die from fright; young men and young women, children and old people.
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 have told them I was going to cut them to pieces and wipe out even the memory of them;
Taran kâoupnae ka taket hoeh nakunghai thoseh,
27 but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’
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 Israel is a nation that doesn't think straight; none of them understand anything.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungangnae tawn awh hoeh, poukthainae hai tawn awh hoeh.
29 How I wish they were wise, so they could understand it; they would recognize what was going to happen to them.
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 on earth could one man chase after a thousand, or two make ten thousand run away, unless their Rock of protection had sold them, unless the Lord had surrendered them?
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 The rock they rely on is not like our Rock, as even our enemies admit.
Maimae tarannaw ni a hmunae dawk teh ahnimae lungsong hoi maimae lungsong kâvan hoeh.
32 But their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; they are bitter bunches.
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 serpents, deadly snake venom.
Ahnimae misurtui teh khorui sue, ka patawpoung e hrunthoe sue lah doeh ao.
34 I've stored this all up; it's sealed in my vaults.
Hothateh kai koe a pâtung toe. Hnoim dawk hruek lah awm hoehnamaw.
35 I make sure justice is done, I will repay. The time is coming when they will fall, their day of disaster is approaching, their doom will soon arrive.”
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 The Lord is going to vindicate his people; he will be merciful to his servants when he sees that they have no strength left, and that everyone is gone, whether slave or free.
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 He'll ask, “What happened to your gods, the rock where your went for protection?
Ahnimae cathut, ahnimouh ni a kângue awh e talung nâne ao.
38 Who ate the fat of your sacrifices and drank the wine of your drink offerings? Have them come and help you; have them come and protect 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 Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.
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 I hold up my hand to heaven and solemnly declare on my eternal life,
A yungyoe kahring e doeh telah kalvan lah ka kut ka dâw teh thoe ka kâbo.
41 when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.
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 My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”
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 Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him; he will purify his land and 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 Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.
Mosi hoi Nun capa Joshua a tho roi teh hete la lawknaw pueng hah tami pueng koe a dei pouh roi.
45 After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,
Hottelah hete lawknaw Mosi ni Isarelnaw koe he a dei hnukkhu,
46 he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in 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 Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”
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 That same day the Lord told Moses,
Hot hnin vah BAWIPA ni Jeriko namran Moab ram Abiram monrui Nebo monsom a luen teh,
49 “Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.
Isarelnaw hah kai ni ka poe e ram hah khenhaw.
50 There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.
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 For there at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Desert of Zin, you both were unfaithful to me. You misrepresented me to the Israelites when you didn't treat me as holy in their presence.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh ni Zin thingyeiyawn, Kadesh kho Meribah tui teng vah, Isarelnaw hmalah kai barinae tawn laipalah na yon awh toe.
52 Though you will see the country that I am giving the Israelites from a distance, you won't enter it.”
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.
