< Deuteronomy 9 >
1 Hear, O Israel: You go this day across Jordan to inherit nations greater and stronger than yourselves, cities great and walled up to heaven;
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 a people great and many and tall, the sons of Enac, whom you know, and concerning whom you have heard [say], Who can stand before the children of Enac?
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 And you shall know today, that the Lord your God he shall go before your face: he is a consuming fire; he shall destroy them, and he shall turn them back before you, and shall destroy them quickly, as the Lord said to 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 Speak not in your heart, when the Lord your God has destroyed these nations before your face, saying, For my righteousness the Lord brought me in to inherit this good land.
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 Not for your righteousness, nor for the holiness of your heart, do you go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord will destroy them from before you, and that he may establish the covenant, which the Lord sware to our fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to 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 And you shall know today, that [it is] not for your righteousnesses the Lord your God gives you this good land to inherit, for you are a stiff-necked people.
Nangho chonphat vanga Pakaiyin hiche gam hi napeh’u ahipoi ti nahet diu ahi, ajeh chu nangho milungtahte nahiuve.
7 Remember, forget not, how much you provoked the Lord your God in the wilderness: from the day that you came forth out of Egypt, even till you came into this place, you continued to be disobedient toward 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 Also in Choreb you provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you to destroy you;
Sinai mol jenga jong Pakai doumah nabol uvin hi chun Pakaiyin thagam ding nago uvin ahi.
9 when I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no water.
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 And the Lord gave me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them there had been written all the words which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain in the day of the assembly.
Chuin Pakaiyin songpheng-ni eipen hichu Pathen amatah molchunga naum laiyuva athu seidoh chengse akhut’a ajih doh ahi.
11 And it came to pass after forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.
Ni somli le jansomli lhin nikhon Pakaiyin kitepna songpheng teni chu eipe tan ahi.
12 And the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed; they have gone aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, and have made themselves a molten image.
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 And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to you once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
Pakaiyin ka henga asei kit in, ‘Hiche mite lungtah le thungai louna ka muchen tai.
14 And now suffer me utterly to destroy them, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and will make of you a nation great and strong, and more numerous than this.
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 And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to heaven; and the two tables of the testimonies [were] in my two hands.
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 And when I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep;
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 then I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before you.
Chuin keiman songpheng teni chu tol lhama kasep lhan namit mutah uvin kasep in ahi.
18 And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which you sinned in doing evil before the Lord God to provoke him.
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 And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly to destroy you; yet the Lord listened to me at this time also.
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 And he was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that time.
Pakai chu Joshua chunga alung phamo lheh jeng tan, tha ding agon ahi. Aaron dingin ka taovin ahileh Pakaiyin ahing hoi tan ahi.
21 And your sin which you had made, [even] the calf, I took, and burnt it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook 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 Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the graves of lust, you provoked the Lord.
Massah, Taberah le Kibroth-hattavah muna jong Pakai doumah nabol uvin ahi.
23 And when the Lord sent you forth from Cades Barne, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I give to you, then you disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, and believed him not, and listened not to his voice.
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 were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which he became known to you.
Henge, Pakai doumah jeng nabol uve tihi keiman kahin he jing in ahi.
25 And I prayed before the Lord forty days and forty nights, the number that I prayed [before], for the Lord said that he would utterly 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 And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not your people and your inheritance, whom you did redeem, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great power, and with your strong hand, and with your high arm.
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 Remember Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob your servants, to whom you sware by yourself: look not upon the hardness of heart of this people, and their impieties, and their sins.
Hiche mite chonsetna leh lungtahna akon in ngaidam tan, chule ka puluiyu Abraham, Isaac le Jacob geldoh in, ati.
28 Lest the inhabitants of the land whence you brought us out speak, saying, Because the Lord could not bring them into the land of which he spoke to them, and because he hated them, has he brought them forth to kill them in the wilderness.
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 And these [are] your people and your portion, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great strength, and with your mighty hand, and with your high arm.
Ajeh chu hiche mite hi nang man naban thahat pana Egypt gamsunga kona nahin puidoh ahiuve.
