< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
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 ( There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh–barnea.)
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 spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that Yhwh 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 slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
Kum 40 thapa yung 11 apasuek hnin dawk Moab ram
5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
Jordan palang teng vah, Cathut ni lawk a poe tangcoung e patetlah Isarelnaw koe bout a dei e kâlawk hateh,
6 Yhwh our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
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 mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto 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 Yhwh sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and 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 spake 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 Yhwh 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 ( Yhwh 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 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers 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 chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
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 every 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; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it 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 when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as Yhwh 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 mountain of the Amorites, which Yhwh our God doth give 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, Yhwh thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as Yhwh God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
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, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities 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 saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a 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 mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched 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 word again, and said, It is a good land which Yhwh our God doth give 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 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh 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 Yhwh 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 shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims 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 Yhwh your God which 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 Yhwh thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into 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 did not believe Yhwh 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 in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
nangmae hmalah ka cet e Cathut e lawk hah hote kong dawk nangmouh ni na yuem awm hoeh toe.
34 And Yhwh heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
Nangmae lawk Cathut ni a thai nah a lungkhuek teh,
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware 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 Yhwh.
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 Yhwh 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 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage 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, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and 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 of 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 Yhwh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yhwh our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
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 Yhwh 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 spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
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, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you 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 Yhwh; But Yhwh would not hearken to your voice, nor give 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.
