Deuteronomy 9
1 Listen, people of Israel! Shortly you're going to cross the Jordan to enter and take over the country from nations that are larger and stronger than you, that have large towns with walls that reach up into the sky.
Ngaiyun, O Israel! Tunia hi nangman Jordan vadung galkaiya namdangte chenna nalut ding ahitan, amaho khu nangho jouse sanga hatthei ahiuve. Khopi sunga acheng uvin chule akhopi kimvel uva pal kigen jouse jong vanthamjol chana sang ahi!
2 The people are strong and tall; they are the descendants of the Anakim. You all know about them and you have heard the saying, “Who could ever defeat the sons of Anak?”
Amaho khu nangho sang in asang jouvin chule athahat jouvin abonchauva Anak chilhah ahiuve. Hijeh chun amahoa konin awchang naja tauvin, Anak mite kalvala chung nungjo koi ham? tin asei uve.
3 But you should realize that today the Lord your God is going across ahead of you. He is like a consuming fire; he will destroy them and defeat them ahead of you. You will drive them out and quickly wipe them out, just as the Lord promised you.
Ahinlah nahe sohkei uve tunikhoa hi Pakai, Pathen in ki dangtah’a aluchung vumuva meikong akilah sah ding asuh gam hel diu ahi. Pakaiyin ahin suhnem diu chuteng nanghon baithet’a natha gam diu ahi. Hichu Pakai, Pathen kitepna ahi.
4 When the Lord your God has driven them out ahead of you, don't think to yourselves, “It's because I'm such a good person that the Lord has brought me here to take over this land.” No, the Lord is driving out these nations ahead of you because of they're so wicked.
Pakai, Pathen in nangho dinga hitobang natoh ahin chaisoh tengleh, ka chonphat jeh uva Pakaiyin hiche gam hi eipeh’u ahi, tia nasei louhel diu ahi. Ajeh chu hiche nam mite phatlou jeh’a Pakaiyin agam uva kona asoldoh joh ahi.
5 It's not because you're so good or moral that you are going to take over their land. No, it's because of their wickedness that the Lord your God is driving out these nations ahead of you, to keep the promise he made to your fathers—m to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Nangho chonphat vanga hiche gam hi nalo diu ahipoi. Hinlah hiche nam mite phatlou jeh’a adelmang ahin chule Pakai, Pathen in napu napateu Abraham, Isaac le Jacob henga aki tepna asuh bukim ahi.
6 You'd better believe that it's not because you're such good people that the Lord your God is giving you this good land to own, because you are stubborn, hard-hearted people.
Nangho chonphat vanga Pakaiyin hiche gam hi napeh’u ahipoi ti nahet diu ahi, ajeh chu nangho milungtahte nahiuve.
7 Remember how you provoked the Lord your God in the desert! Don't ever forget it! From the time you left the land of Egypt until you arrived here, you've been constantly rebelling against the Lord.
Gamthip noiya Pakai nalunghan sahnau geldoh jing uvin. Egypt gam nahin dalhah nikho uva pat tuni chana vel ijat Pakai, Pathen doumah nabol doh tah uvem.
8 At Horeb you provoked the Lord, making him so angry he was about to destroy you.
Sinai mol jenga jong Pakai doumah nabol uvin hi chun Pakaiyin thagam ding nago uvin ahi.
9 This was when I climbed up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets that recorded agreement the Lord made with you. I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, and I didn't eat or drink anything.
Hiche hi Sinai molchung ka umlaiya thilsoh ahin, Pakayin songpheng-ni ah imatih chana ding in kitepna chu asem tan ahi. Nisomli le jansomli jen an nelou twidon louvin kaum in ahi.
10 The Lord gave me the two stone tablets on which he'd written with his finger everything he'd told you when he spoke from the fire on the mountain when we were all assembled there.
Chuin Pakaiyin songpheng-ni eipen hichu Pathen amatah molchunga naum laiyuva athu seidoh chengse akhut’a ajih doh ahi.
11 After forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the agreement.
Ni somli le jansomli lhin nikhon Pakaiyin kitepna songpheng teni chu eipe tan ahi.
12 The Lord told me, “Hurry! Go down immediately, because your people that you led out of Egypt, are committing a terrible sin. They have disobeyed what I told them so quickly! They have made themselves an idol using molten metal.”
Chuin Pakaiyin ka henga aseiyin, Kipat in che tan! Egypt gam'a kona nahin puidoh miten doumah jeng aboltauve. Chomlou kah in ka thupeh nahsah louvin aki hei mang tauve! Sana limdoi sem in hinkho amang tauvin ahi!
13 The Lord also told me, “I have been watching these people, and they really are a stubborn and hard-hearted.
Pakaiyin ka henga asei kit in, ‘Hiche mite lungtah le thungai louna ka muchen tai.
14 Leave me, so that I can destroy them and wipe out their name completely. Then I will turn you into a nation even more powerful and more important than them.”
Tun keima che ingting hiche mite hi vannoiya kasuh mang jeng diu ahi. Amaho sanga hatjo le chung nung joa keiman na chillhahte ka tundoh ding ahi.
15 I went back down the mountain while it was still on fire, carrying the two tablets of the agreement.
Chuin molchung vum'a meikong akilui jeng tan ahile, keima ka hung kumsuh in mon mang theilou kitepna songpheng teni chu kahin choiyin ahi.
16 Then I saw how much you had sinned against the Lord your God by making for yourselves a molten calf. You had disobeyed what the Lord had told you so quickly.
Keiman kahin vesuh in ahileh, Pakai ding in chonset gitlouna nabol tauve ti ka muchen tai. Sana mangchan bonglim doi nakisem thu tauvin ahi. Pakai, Pathen in nathupeh nauva kon in chom loukah in nakihei mang tauve!
17 I threw the two tablets down, smashing them to pieces as you watched.
Chuin keiman songpheng teni chu tol lhama kasep lhan namit mutah uvin kasep in ahi.
18 Then I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, just as I had before. I didn't eat or drink anything because of all the sins you had committed by doing what was evil in the Lord's sight, making him angry.
Hinlah Pakai, Pathen angsunga nisomli le jan somli masang chun keiman an jong ka nepon chule twi jong ka don poi. Ajeh chu nang hon Pakai doumah bol in hinkho namang tauvin ahi.
19 I was terrified at how angry and furious the Lord was with you. He was ready to destroy you. But once again the Lord listened to me.
Pakai lunghanna nachung uva ahung chuh a na thagam diu chu keima ka kicha lheh jenge, hinlah Pakaiyin ka taona eisanpeh kit in ahi.
20 The Lord was so angry with Aaron he was ready to destroy him, but right then I prayed for Aaron too.
Pakai chu Joshua chunga alung phamo lheh jeng tan, tha ding agon ahi. Aaron dingin ka taovin ahileh Pakaiyin ahing hoi tan ahi.
21 I took that abominable thing, the calf you'd made, and burned it. Then I crushed it up and ground it into dust, and I threw it into the stream that descended from the mountain.
Na chonset nau bonglim chu kalan nen lah a meiyin ka halvam tan ahi. Mei kihalna vutvai abonchan kalan molchung akona vadung twi a kasep lhatan ahi.
22 But you went on provoking the Lord at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.
Massah, Taberah le Kibroth-hattavah muna jong Pakai doumah nabol uvin ahi.
23 When the Lord had you leave Kadesh-barnea, he told you, “Go and take over the country that I've given you.” But you defied the command of the Lord your God. You didn't believe him and you didn't obey him.
Chuin Kadesh-barnea muna Pakaiyin hiche thupeh mangchan nasol tauvin ahi: Chetou un keiman kapehna gamkhu galo tauvin. Hinlah Pakai, Pathen thupeh nah sah louvin hinkho namang uvin ahi.
24 You have been rebelling against the Lord from the day I first knew you.
Henge, Pakai doumah jeng nabol uve tihi keiman kahin he jing in ahi.
25 So I lay down on the ground before the Lord for forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had threatened to destroy you.
Hijeh achu nisomli le jan somli Pakai henga ka bohkhup in ahi, ajeh chu Pakaiyin nabonchauva thagam ding na got’u ahi.
26 I prayed to the Lord, saying, “Please Lord, God, don't destroy your people that belong to you, the ones whom you rescued by your great ability and led out of Egypt by your power.
Pakai henga hiti hin kataove, O thaneipen Pakai, hiche mite hi sugam louvin, hinghoi tauvin. Amaho hi namite ahiuve. Chule amaho hi nagoulupen Egypt gam'a nahuh doh’a naban thahat pana nahin puidoh ahiuve.
27 Please remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please disregard the stubbornness of this people and their wicked sin.
Hiche mite chonsetna leh lungtahna akon in ngaidam tan, chule ka puluiyu Abraham, Isaac le Jacob geldoh in, ati.
28 If you don't, those people back in Egypt will say, ‘The Lord brought them out to kill them in the desert because he couldn't take them to the land he'd promised them, and because he hated them.’
Hiche mite hi nasuh manga ahileh, Egypt miten hitia hi asei diu, ‘Israel mite athi gam tauve, ajeh chu Pakaiyin aki tepna gam'a chu apui lhung lou ahitai.’ Ahilouleh hiche mite hi Pakaiyin avetda jeh’a asuh gam ahitauve; thagam dinga apuile ahi, tia asei diu ahi.
29 But they are your people, Lord! They belong to you! You led them out of Egypt by your amazing power and might!”
Ajeh chu hiche mite hi nang man naban thahat pana Egypt gamsunga kona nahin puidoh ahiuve.
