Deuteronomy 31
1 And Moses goes and speaks these words to all Israel,
Moses te cet tih Israel pum taengah hekah olka he a thui.
2 and he says to them, “I [am] a son of one hundred and twenty years today; I am not able to go out and to come in anymore, and YHWH has said to me, You do not pass over this Jordan.
Te vaengah amih te, “Tihnin ah kai he kum ya pakul ka lo ca coeng tih ka voei ka bal ham ka coeng voel pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, 'He Jordan he kat voel boeh,’ a ti.
3 Your God YHWH—He is passing over before you; He destroys these nations from before you, and you have possessed them; Joshua—he is passing over before you, as YHWH has spoken.
Na hmai kah aka kat BOEIPA na Pathen amah loh namtom rhoek he na mikhmuh ah a mitmoeng sak vetih amih te na pang ni. BOEIPA loh a thui vanbangla Joshua tah nang hmai ah kat ni.
4 And YHWH has done to them as he has done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.
Amori manghai Sihon neh Oga a saii tih a khohmuen neh rhenten a phae bangla BOEIPA loh a saii ni.
5 And YHWH has given them before your face, and you have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you;
Amih te BOEIPA loh na mikhmuh la han thak vaengah nang kang uen olpaek bangla amih taengah boeih na saii ni.
6 be strong and courageous, do not fear, nor be terrified because of them, for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you.”
Thaahuel uh lamtah namning sakuh. Amih maelhmai te rhih uh boel lamtah na sarhing uh boeh. Nang taengkah aka cet BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang ng'rhael pawt vetih nang ng'hnoo mahpawh,” a ti nah.
7 And Moses calls for Joshua and says to him before the eyes of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you go in with this people to the land which YHWH has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you cause them to inherit it;
Te phoeiah Moses loh Joshua a khue tih Israel pum kah mikhmuh ah, “Thaahuel lamtah namning sak. A napa taengah paek hamla BOEIPA loh a toemngam tangtae khohmuen la pilnam neh na puei uh vetih amih te na pang pawn ni.
8 and YHWH [is] He who is going before you, He Himself is with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you; do not fear, nor be frightened.”
Nang mikhmuh ah aka pongpa BOEIPA amah long he nang taengah om vetih nang ng'rhael mahpawh, nang ng'hnoo mahpawh. Rhih boel lamtah rhihyawp boeh,” a ti nah.
9 And Moses writes this law and gives it to the priests (sons of Levi, those carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH), and to all [the] elderly of Israel,
Te phoeiah olkhueng he Moses loh a daek tih, BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt, Levi koca khosoih rhoek neh Israel patong rhoek boeih taengah a paek.
10 and Moses commands them, saying, “At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the Celebration of Shelters,
Hekah he kum rhih thok tih pohlip khotue laiba hlahnah kum kah khoning vaengah a thui tih amih te Moses loh a uen.
11 in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of YHWH in the place which He chooses, you proclaim this law before all Israel in their ears.
Amah hmuen tuek kah BOEIPA na Pathen mikhmuh ah phoe hamla Israel pum loh ha pawk vaengah Israel pum kah a hna kaep ah olkhueng he doek pah.
12 Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared your God YHWH, and observed to do all the words of this law;
Huta tongpa camoe, na vongka kah yinlai neh pilnam loh tingtun saeh lamtah hnatun uh saeh. Te daengah ni a cang uh vetih BOEIPA na Pathen rhih ham neh olkhueng ol boeih he vai hamla a ngaithuen uh eh.
13 and their sons, who have not known, hear and have learned to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days which you are living on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
Te vaengah pang hamla Jordan na kat thil khohmuen kah na hingnah tue khuiah ah aka ming noek pawh a ca rhoek loh BOEIPA na Pathen rhih ham hnatun uh saeh lamtah cang uh saeh.
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, your days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, and I charge him”; and Moses goes—Joshua also—and they station themselves in the Tent of Meeting,
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Duek hamla na khohnin loh yoei coeng he. Joshua te khue lamtah tingtunnah dap ah pai sak lamtah anih te ka uen eh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Moses neh Joshua te cet rhoi tih tingtunnah dap ah pai rhoi.
15 and YHWH is seen in the tent in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud stands at the opening of the tent.
Te vaengah BOEIPA tah dap ah cingmai tung la tueng tih cingmai tung khaw dap thohkah ah pai.
16 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, you are lying down with your fathers, and this people has risen and gone whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land, into the midst of which it has entered, and it has forsaken Me and broken My covenant which I made with it;
Te vaengah Moses te BOEIPA loh, “Na pa rhoek taengah na yalh coeng atah pilnam he thoo vetih a kun thil khohmuen kah kholong pathen taengah cukhalh pawn ni he. Kai n'hnoo vetih anih taengkah ka saii ka paipi he a phae uh ni.
17 and My anger has burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it has been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it has said in that day, [Is] it not because my God is not in my midst that these evils have found me?
Tekah khohnin ah tah ka thintoek loh anih taengah sai vetih amih te ka hnoo ni. Te vaengah amih taeng lamloh ka maelhmai ka thuh vetih maeham la poeh ni. Yoethae cungkuem neh citcai loh anih a hmuh ni. Te khohnin ah, “Ka khui ah ka Pathen loh a om pawt dongah pawt nim? He bang yoethae loh kai m'hmuh,” a ti ni.
18 And I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it has done, for it has turned to other gods.
Boethae cungkuem te a saii tih pathen tloe rhoek taengah a hooi uh khohnin van vaengah kai long khaw ka maelhmai ka thuh rhoe ka thuh tak van ni.
19 And now, write this song for yourselves, and teach it [to] the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel.
Te dongah hekah laa he namah loh daek laeh. Israel ca rhoek te tuuk lamtah a ka dongah hoei pah. Te daengah ni hekah laa loh Israel ca rhoek taengah kai kah laipai la a om eh.
20 When I bring them to the ground flowing with milk and honey, which I have sworn to their fathers, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned to other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant,
A napa rhoek taengah ka toemngam tangtae tih, khoitui neh suktui aka long khohmuen la ka khuen ni. Te vaengah kodam la ca khangrhang cakhaw pathen tloe taengla hooi uh vetih amih taengah ni tho a thueng uh eh. Kai yah m'bai uh vetih ka paipi a phae uh mai hoeh veh.
21 then it has been, when many evils and distresses meet it, that this song has testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing today, before I bring them into the land of which I have sworn.”
Tedae ana om saeh, anih te yoethae neh citcai loh muep a muk van vaengah hekah laa loh a mikhmuh ah laipai la a doo bitni. A tiingan ka lamkah te khaw hnilh boel saeh. Ka toemngam bangla anih te khohmuen la ka pha puei hlan ah pataeng tihnin kah a saii neh a benbonah te ka ming,” a ti nah.
22 And Moses writes this song on that day, and teaches it [to] the sons of Israel.
Te dongah laa he Moses loh amah khohnin vaengah a daek tih Israel ca rhoek te a cang puei.
23 Then He commands Joshua son of Nun, and says, “Be strong and courageous, for you bring in the sons of Israel to the land which I have sworn to them, and I am with you.”
Te phoeiah Nun capa Joshua te a uen tih, “Amih ham ka toemngam tangtae khohmuen la Israel ca rhoek te na khuen ham coeng dongah thahuel lamtah namning sak. Nang taengah kai ka om bitni,” a ti nah.
24 And it comes to pass, when Moses finishes to write the words of this law on a scroll, until their completion,
Olkhueng ol he a soep hil cabu dongah daek ham te Moses loh a coeng tih om coeng.
25 that Moses commands the Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt Levi rhoek te Moses loh a uen tih,
26 “Take this Scroll of the Law, and you have set it on the side of the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and it has been against you for a witness there;
“Olkhueng cabu he lo laeh. BOEIPA na Pathen paipi thingkawng kaep ah khueh lamtah nang taengah laipai la om saeh.
27 for I have known your rebellion and your stiff neck; behold, in my being yet alive with you today, you have been rebelling against YHWH, and surely also after my death.
Na boekoek neh na rhawn a mangkhak khaw kai loh ka ming. Nangmih taengkah ka hing tue vaengah pataeng BOEIPA aka koek la na om uh atah ka duek phoei aisat oeih.
28 Assemble to me all the elderly of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak these words in their ears, and cause the heavens and the earth to testify against them,
Nangmih koca kah patong rhoek neh na rhoiboei boeih loh kai taengla ha tingtun uh laeh. Vaan neh diklai he amih taengah ka laipai puei saeh lamtah a hna ah olka he ka thui lah eh.
29 for I have known that you act very corruptly after my death, and have turned aside from the way which I commanded you, and evil has met you in the latter end of the days, because you do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.”
Ka dueknah hnukah khaw ka ming coeng. A po la na po vetih nangmih taengah kang uen bangla longpuei lamloh na nong uh ni. Hmailong khohnin ah yoethaenah loh nangmih m'mah ni. Na kut dongkah khoboe neh amah veet hamla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae ni na saii uh eh.
30 And Moses speaks the words of this song in the ears of all the assembly of Israel, until their completion:
Te dongah hekah laa lung he a boeih due Israel hlangping boeih kah a hna ah Moses loh a thui pah.
