< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 THESE ARE the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel beyond the Jordan; in the wilderness, in the Arabah, over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
Kahrawngum, Jordan palang teng, Shuph khopui, Paran khopui, Tophel khopui, Hazeroth, Dizahab khopuinaw koevah, Mosi ni Isarelnaw koe bout a dei e lawk teh:
2 It is eleven days journey from Horeb unto Kadesh-barnea by the way of mount Seir.
Kadeshbarnea hateh, Seir mon lam lahoi Horeb e a onae hoi hnin 11 lamcei ahla.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
Mosi ni Heshbon khopui kaawm e, Amor Siangpahrang Sihon thoseh, Edrei ram, Ashtaroth khopui kaawm e Bashan siangpahrang Og thoseh, a thei hnukkhu
4 after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei;
Kum 40 thapa yung 11 apasuek hnin dawk Moab ram
5 beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, took Moses upon him to expound this law, saying:
Jordan palang teng vah, Cathut ni lawk a poe tangcoung e patetlah Isarelnaw koe bout a dei e kâlawk hateh,
6 The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying: 'Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain;
Maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni, Horeb hmuen dawk, na dei pouh e teh, nangmouh ni atueng a kuep ditouh hete mon dawk na o awh toe.
7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the Lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore; the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Kamlang awh nateh bout kamthaw awh haw. Amor mon totouh thoseh, hote mon hoi kahnai e hmuen tanghling, akalah, tuipui teng, Kanaan ram, Lebanon mon, Euphrates tuipui totouh cet awh haw.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.'
Hote ram teh nangmouh hmalah ka hruek toe. Cathut ni, nangmae na pa Abraham, Isak, Jakop koehoi kamtawng teh a catounnaw ka poe han telah lawk a kam e ram hah kâen nateh coe awh, telah atipouh.
9 And I spoke unto you at that time, saying: 'I am not able to bear you myself alone;
Hatnavah, Kai ni nangmouh koe ka dei e thaw heh ka madueng ka phawt thai mahoeh.
10 the LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. —
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh na pung sak awh vaiteh, nangmouh teh kalvan âsi patetlah sahnin na o awh.
11 The LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as He hath promised you! —
Nangmae na pa BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh teh alet 1000 lahoi na pung sak naseh. Lawk a kam e patetlah yawhawi na poe a seh.
12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
Na tawntamnae, thawtawknae, kâyuekâounnae hnokari kai ka madueng ni bangtelamaw ka phu thai han.
13 Get you, from each one of your tribes, wise men, and understanding, and full of knowledge, and I will make them heads over you.'
A lungkaangnaw, ka thaipanueknaw, hoi ka thoumthainaw hah na miphun thung hoi rawi awh. Ahnimanaw hah ka hrawikung lah ka hruek han telah dei awh pawteh,
14 And ye answered me, and said: 'The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.'
nangmouh ni, na dei e patetlah ahawi telah bout a dei awh.
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and full of knowledge, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, tribe by tribe.
Hatdawkvah na miphunnaw dawk mitkhet kamcu e kacuenaw panuenae ka tawn naw ka rawi hnukkhu nangmouh koe kacue thaw ka tawk hanelah 1,000 ka uk hane, 100 ka uk hane, 50 ka uk hane, 10 ka uk hane ukkungnaw hah ka rawi.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying: 'Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Lawkcengkungnaw hai, na hmaunawnghanaw e kamcan hah a thai awh vaiteh, hmaunawngha reira e kamcan thoseh, Jentelnaw hoi e kamcan thoseh kalancalah lawkceng awh.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of any man; for the judgment is God's; and the cause that is too hard for you ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear it.'
Lawkcengnae dawkvah, apie minhmai hai khen hanh. Camo e lawk hah kacue e lawk patetlah pouk. Apihai taket hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawkcengnae teh Cathut e doeh. Na dei thai hoeh e kamcan hah kai koe thokhai awh. Kai ni hai ka thai han telah lawk a thui.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
Nangmouh ni na sak awh hane naw hai hatnavah kâ na poe toe.
19 And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and dreadful wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
Kaimouh ni Horeb hmuen koehoi ka tâco awh teh, Amor mon totouh ceinae lam teng vah, takikathopounge kahrawngum ka cei awh teh Kadeshbarnea hmuen koe ka pha awh.
20 And I said unto you: 'Ye are come unto the hill-country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God giveth unto us.
BAWIPA ni kâ na poe e patetlah hatnavah kai nihai, maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe awh e Amor mon vah nangmouh ni na pha awh toe.
21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee; go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.'
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni ram kahawi teh nangmouh hmalah ka hruek toe. Nangmae napanaw e BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah cet awh nateh lawm awh, taket awh hanh, na lung hai pout awh hanh telah a dei.
22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said: 'Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us back word of the way by which we must go up, and the cities unto which we shall come.'
Hatnavah nangmanaw pueng ni kai koe na tho awh teh, kaimae hmalah taminaw ka patoun han. Ahnimouh ni hote ram hah a rip awh hnukkhu, kaimouh teh nâ lam cet pawiteh, bang khopui dawk pha awh han doeh telah a dei awh han telah a dei awh e heh,
23 And the thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe;
kai ni ka ngai dawkvah miphun buet touh dawk tami buet touh, asumkum 12 touh hah na rawi awh.
24 and they turned and went up into the mountains, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Ahnimouh ni mon koe lah a kamlang awh teh Eshkol tanghling koe a pha awh teh a tuet awh.
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said: 'Good is the land which the LORD our God giveth unto us.'
Hote ram dawk e a paw a hrawm awh teh a thokhai navah, maimae Cathut ni na poe e ram teh kahawi e ram doeh telah a dei awh eiteh,
26 Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God;
Nangmouh ni na cet awh laipalah, namamae BAWIPA Cathut e kâ na ek awh.
27 and ye murmured in your tents, and said: 'Because the LORD hated us, He hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Cathut ni maimouh na hmuhma teh raphoe sak han na ngai awh dawkvah, Amornaw e kut dawk na poe hanlah, Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai awh khe.
28 Whither are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying: The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.'
Maimouh ni bangtelamaw cei awh han toung, hmaunawnghanaw ni hote kho dawk e taminaw teh maimouh hlak a len awh. A rasang poung awh. Kalvan ka deng e khopui, rapan hai ao. Hote kho dawk Anakim miphunnaw ka hmu awh telah maimae lungthin a raphoe toe telah nangmouh ni rimnaw dawk na taran awh toe.
29 Then I said unto you: 'Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
Hatnavah kai ni, puen hanh awh, ahnimouh taket a hanh awh.
30 The LORD your God who goeth before you, He shall fight for you, according to all that He did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
Nangmae hmalah ka cet e nangmae Cathut ni na hmalae Izip ram hai thoseh,
31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.
nangmouh ni na dawn e lam, hete hmuen totouh a na pa ni a ca a tapam e patetlah nangmae Cathut ni nangmouh na tapam teh, lungmanae na coenae kahrawng hai thoseh, nangmouh han a sak e patetlah nangmouh koe lah taran na kabawp awh han telah a dei nakunghai,
32 Yet in this thing ye do not believe the LORD your God,
nangmouh ni rim tumpup nahan hmuen tawng awh nateh na cei awh nahan lam na patue hanelah karum vah hmai dawk thoseh, khodai lah tâmai dawk thoseh,
33 Who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in: in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.'
nangmae hmalah ka cet e Cathut e lawk hah hote kong dawk nangmouh ni na yuem awm hoeh toe.
34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying:
Nangmae lawk Cathut ni a thai nah a lungkhuek teh,
35 'Surely there shall not one of these men, even this evil generation, see the good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers,
ahnimae mintoenaw ka poe han ka tie ka lawkkam ram kahawi hah Jephunneh capa Kalep hloilah hete kathoute Miphunnaw buet touh ni boehai kâen awh mahoeh.
36 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children; because he hath wholly followed the LORD.'
Ahni teh Cathut e hnuk roup a kâbang dawk a kâen. A coungroe e ram hah ahni koehoi kamtawng teh ahnie catounnaw ka poe han telah lawk ka kam.
37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying: Thou also shalt not go in thither;
Ahnimouh han Cathut ni, kai koehai a lungkhuek, nang teh hote ram na coe mahoeh.
38 Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither; encourage thou him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Na kut rahim e Nun capa Joshua ni a coe han. Ahni teh Isarelnaw râw ka coe sak hanelah ao dawk. Ahni hah thapoe haw.
39 Moreover your little ones, that ye said should be a prey, and your children, that this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Taran ni a lawp e lah ao han na ti awh e camonaw, hatnavah thoe hoi hawi kapek thai hoeh rae canu capanaw ni, hote ram a coe awh vaiteh, kai ni ka poe e patetlah a lawp awh han.
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.'
Nangmouh teh na kamlang awh vaiteh tuipuipaling lam lahoi kahrawng lah bout cet awh ei telah a ti.
41 Then ye answered and said unto me: 'We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.' And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and deemed it a light thing to go up into the hill-country.
Nangmouh ni hai, kaimouh ni Cathut hah koe ka payon awh toe. Maimae Cathut ni lawk na thui awh e patetlah atu cei awh vaiteh taran tuk han telah na dei pouh teh, tami pueng puengcang rip a patuep awh teh, mon lah takhang hanelah coungkacoe ao awh.
42 And the LORD said unto me: 'Say unto them: Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.'
Cathut ni hai tuk awh hanh, nangmouh koe lah kai kaawm hoeh, na tuk awh pawiteh taran hmalah na sung awh han telah kai ni ka dei e patetlah,
43 So I spoke unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.
kai ni ka dei nakunghai nangmouh ni na tarawi awh hoeh. Cathut e kâ eknae hoi mon lah na luen awh.
44 And the Amorites, that dwell in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah.
Hatnavah mon dawkvah la kaawm e Amor miphunnaw ni nangmouh koe lah a tâco teh, khoi ni a rongyawn e patetlah nangmouh na kayo awh teh Seir hoi Hormah khopui totouh na thei awh.
45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
Nangmouh hai bout na tho awh teh, Cathut hmalah na khui na ka awh. Hatei nangmae na lawk hah Cathut ni thai hoeh.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
Hatdawkvah Kadesh hmuen dawk yampa na o awh e patetlah moi ka saw lah na o awh.
