Deuteronomy 32
1 “Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And you hear, O earth, sayings of my mouth!
Vaan nang loh hnatun lamtah ka thui lah eh. Ka ka dongkah ol he diklai nang loh ya lah.
2 My doctrine drops as rain; My sayings flow as dew; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
Ka rhingtuknah he khotlan bangla tlan saeh. Toian dongkah dotui neh baelhing dongkah mueitui bangla, ka olthui he buemtui bangla cip saeh.
3 For I proclaim the Name of YHWH; Ascribe greatness to our God!
BOEIPA ming te ka khue vetih, mamih Pathen kah boeilennah ka paan ni.
4 The Rock—His work [is] perfect, For all His ways [are] just; God of steadfastness, and without iniquity; Righteous and upright [is] He.
Uepomnah Pathen kah longpuei tah boeih tiktam tih, a bisai khaw hmabut a lungpang coeng. Te dongah amah tah dueng tih a thuem dongah, dumlai om pawh.
5 It has done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not of His sons, A generation perverse and crooked!
Anih te poci coeng. BOEIPA kah a ca rhoek moenih. Amih te voeldak neh vawva cadil la om tih a lolhmaih la om.
6 Do you act thus to YHWH, O people foolish and not wise? Is He not your Father—He who bought you? He made you, and establishes you.
Pilnam ang neh cueih aka khueh mueh, he tlam a BOEIPA na thuung eh? Anih te nang napa moenih a? Anih long la nang n'lai tih nang n'saii phoeiah khaw n'thoh dae.
7 Remember days of old—Understand the years of many generations—Ask your father, and he tells you; Your elderly, and they say to you:
Khosuen tue te poek lamtah, thawnpuei neh cadilcahma kah a kum te khaw yakming lah. Na pa te dawt lamtah ha puen bitni. Namah a ham rhoek long khaw nang taengah han thui uh bitni.
8 In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam—He sets up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of God [[or sons of Israel]].
Khohni loh namtom a phaeng vaengah, Adam koca a hoep sak tih, Israel ca kah hlangmi bangla pilnam kah rhilung a ling.
9 For YHWH’s portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line of His inheritance.
A pilnam he BOEIPA kah khoyo la om tih, Jakob khaw amah kah a rho khoyo la om.
10 He finds him in a land—a desert, And in a void—a howling wilderness, He turns him around—He causes him to understand—He keeps him as the apple of His eye.
Anih te khosoek neh rhungnah neh khopong hinghong kho ah a hmuh. A mik dongkah thenhnaih bangla a kueinah dongah, a yakming tih khoep a ku.
11 As an eagle wakes up its nest, Flutters over its young ones, Spreads its wings [and] takes them, Carries them on its pinions—
A bu dongkah a vaca te atha bangla haenghang. A phae a khong tih a phuel phoeiah, a ca te a loh tih a phaemul soah a ludoeng.
12 YHWH alone leads him, And there is no strange god with him.
Anih te BOEIPA bueng loh a mawt tih anih taengah kholong pathen loh a om puei moenih.
13 He makes him ride on high places of earth, And he eats increase of the fields, And He makes him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock;
Anih te diklai hmuensang hmuensang ah a ngol sak. Khohmuen paiso khaw a cah tih, thaelpang khoitui, hmailung lungpang dongkah situi neh a khut.
14 Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams of sons of Bashan, And male goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape you drink wine!
Vaito suknaeng neh boiva kah suktui nen khaw, tuca tha nen khaw, Bashan ca rhoek tutal nen khaw, kikong kah a kuel a pang, cang neh yucang misur thii khaw na ok.
15 And Yeshurun waxes fat, and kicks: You have been fat, you have been thick, You have been covered. And he leaves God who made him, And dishonors the Rock of his salvation.
Tedae Jeshurun te tha putsut tih, na tha te na saibawn atah na talaeh. Anih aka saii Pathen te a phap tih khangnah lungpang vik te a hnoo sut.
16 They make Him zealous with strangers, They make Him angry with abominations.
Amah te kholong rhoek nen khaw, tueilaehkoi nen khaw a thatlai uh thil tih, amah te a veet uh.
17 They sacrifice to the demons, not God, To gods they have not known, New ones—they came from the vicinity; Your fathers have not feared them!
Rhaithae rhoek te Pathen pawt mai ah a nawn uh. A thai la aka phoe paek pathen rhoek te na pa rhoek loh a ming noek moenih. A rhih khaw a rhih uh moenih.
18 You forget the Rock that begot you, And neglect God who forms you.
Nang aka sa lungpang te na hmaai tih nang aka poe sak Pathen te na hnilh.
19 And YHWH sees and despises—For the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
BOEIPA loh a hmuh ngawn dae, a capa neh a canu kah a konoinah dongah yah a bai.
20 And He says: I hide My face from them, I see what their latter end [is]; For they [are] a contrary generation, Sons in whom is no steadfastness.
A cadilcahma loh calaak uh tih, a ca rhoek khaw a khuiah oltak a om pawt dongah, ka maelhmai he ka thuh saeh lamtah, amih hmailong khaw ka so dae eh.
21 They have made Me jealous by [what is] not God, They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them jealous by [what is] not a people, I make them angry by a foolish nation.
Pathen pawt nen khaw amih loh kai n'thatlai thil uh tih a honghi neh kai m'veet uh. Te dongah pilnam pawt nen khaw amih te ka thatlai thil vetih, aka ang namtom neh ka veet ni.
22 For a fire has been kindled in My anger, And it burns to the lowest [part] of Sheol, And consumes earth and its increase, And sets on fire [the] foundations of mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Ka thintoek te hmai la ka hlae vetih Saelkhui laedil la ung kangna saeh. Diklai neh a cangpai khaw ung saeh lamtah tlang yung khaw hlawp kangna saeh. (Sheol h7585)
23 I heap calamities on them, I consume My arrows on them.
Amih te kamah kah boethae thaltang neh ka khoengvoep sak vetih, amih te ka khah ni.
24 Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat and bitter destruction—I also send the teeth of beasts on them, With poison of fearful things of the dust.
Khokha loh a thah vetih rhaekhmai loh a dom ni. Lucik khahing neh rhamsa no te amih taengah ka tueih pah vetih, kosi neh laipi dongah kawl uh ni.
25 The sword destroys from outside, And out of the inner-chambers—terror, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
Kawtpoeng ah cunghang loh n'cakol sak vetih, imkhui ah mueirhih loh tongpang neh oila khaw, cahni neh tongpa sampok khaw a ngawn ni.
26 I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
Amih te ka phaek saeh lamtah, hlanghing lamkah amih poekkoepnah he ka toeng mai eh ka ti coeng.
27 If I do not fear the anger of an enemy, Lest their adversaries know—Lest they say, Our hand is high, And YHWH has not worked all this.
Thunkha kah konoinah dongah ka bakuep sak pawt akhaw a rhal hmat uh lah ve. “Mamih kut a pomsang vetih, BOEIPA loh he he boeih saii mahpawh,” ti uh lah ve.
28 For they [are] a nation lost to counsels, And there is no understanding in them.
Namtom tah a cilsuep moelh tih, a lungcuei neh om pawh.
29 If only they were wise, They would deal wisely [with] this, They would attend to their latter end!
Cueih uh koinih lungming la om uh vetih, a hmailong khaw a yakming uh suidae.
30 How does one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee, If not that their Rock has sold them, And YHWH has shut them up?
Pakhat loh thawngkhat metlam a hloem vetih, panit loh thawngrha a rhaelrham sak eh. Amih kah lungpang te yoih pah pawt cakhaw, amih te BOEIPA loh khoep a khaih van coeng.
31 For their rock [is] not as our Rock (And our enemies [are] judges!)
Amih kah lungpang te, mamih kah lungpang bangla a om pawt dongah, n'thunkha rhoek khaw rhokhan a khueh pah.
32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes [are] grapes of gall—They have bitter clusters;
Amih kah misur tah, Sodom misur neh Gomorrah lohmali lamloh ha thoeng dongah, a misurthaih khaw anrhat misur khahing thaihsu la poeh.
33 The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of cobras.
A misurtui tah tuihnam sue neh minta sue bangla muen.
34 Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures?
Hekah he kamah taengah ka tung pawt tih, ka thakvoh dongah miknoek ka daeng moenih a?
35 Vengeance and retribution [are] Mine, At the due time—their foot slides; For near is a day of their calamity, And things prepared for them have hastened.
Amih kho loh a paloe tue vaengah, he phulohnah neh laisahnah khaw kamah hut ni. Amih kah rhainah khohnin loh yoei coeng tih, amih taengah a coekcoe la tawn uh coeng.
36 For YHWH judges His people, And gives comfort over His servants. For He sees the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.
BOEIPA loh a pilnam kah lai a tloek pah vetih, a sal pum dongkah a kut a khawk dongah a khaih banlak tih, a tlo-oeng te a hmuh vaengah hal bitni.
37 And He has said, Where [are] their gods—The rock in which they trusted?
Te dongah, “Amih kah pathen tah melae, mekah lungpang khuiah lae a ying uh,” a ti bitni.
38 Who eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drink the wine of their drink-offering? Let them arise and help you, Let it be a hiding place for you!
Amih kah hmueih tha aka ca tih, a boeimang misurtui aka o rhoek te thoo uh saeh lamtah, nangmih aka bom neh nangmih ham hlipyingnah la om saeh.
39 See, now, that I [am] He, And there is no god besides Me; I put to death and I keep alive; I have struck and I heal; And there is not a deliverer from My hand,
Kai kamah tah amah moek la ka om tih, kai phoeiah pathen tloe a om pawt he hmu uh lah. Kai loh ka duek sak tih ka hing sak. Ka phop tih kamah loh ka hoeih sak. Te dongah kai kut dong lamloh aka lat thai u pakhat khaw a om moenih.
40 For I lift up My hand to the heavens, And have said, I live for all time!
Ka kut he vaan la ka phuel tih, kamah ka mulhing he kumhal ah ka thui.
41 If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand lays hold on judgment, I return vengeance to My adversaries, And to those hating Me—I repay!
Ka cunghang te khopha bangla ka tah coeng. Ka kut dongkah laitloeknah loh pha koinih, phulohnah khaw ka rhal soah ka thuung sui tih, ka lunguet taengah ka sah sue.
42 I make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword devours flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.
Ka thaltang khaw thii ka rhuihmil sak vaengah, ka cunghang loh hmalaem thii neh, thunkha tawnlo lu lamkah tamna saa te hlap pah saeh.
43 Sing, O nations, [with] His people, For He avenges the blood of His servants, And He turns back vengeance on His adversaries, And has pardoned His land [and] His people.”
A pilnam te namtom rhoek loh tamhoe puei saeh. A sal rhoek kah thii phu te loh vaengah, phulohnah neh a rhal rhoek te a thuunh vetih, a pilnam khohmuen te a dawth pah ni.
44 And Moses comes and speaks all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
Te phoeiah Moses te halo tih, hekah laa lung he a pilnam neh Nun capa Hosea kah hna kaepah boeih a thui pah.
45 and Moses finishes to speak all these words to all Israel,
Moses loh Israel pum taengah hekah olka cungkuem a thui te a khah.
46 and says to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you today, that you command your sons to observe to do all the words of this law,
Te phoeiah amih te, “Tihnin kah nangmih taengah kan rhalrhing sak bangla olka boeih he na thinko ah khueh uh. He olkhueng ol boeih he ngaithuen ham neh vai hamla na ca rhoek taengah khaw uen uh.
47 for it [is] not a vain thing for you, for it [is] your life, and by this thing you prolong days on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
He nangmih ham a hong ol pawt tih he ni na hingnah. He ol nen ni khohmuen ah hinglung a vang eh. Te te pang ham pahoi ni Jordan te na kat uh,” a ti nah.
48 And YHWH speaks to Moses on this very same day, saying,
Tekah khohnin tuung dongah Moses te BOEIPA loh a voek tih,
49 “Go up to this Mount Abarim, Mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession;
Jerikho imdan Moab kho kah Abarim tlang, Nebo tlang la luei lamtah kai loh Israel ca rhoek taengah khohut la ka paek Kanaan kho te so lah.
50 and die on the mountain to where you are going up, and be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron has died on Mount Hor and is gathered to his people;
Na maya Aaron loh Hor tlang ah duek tih a pilnam taengah a khoem uh bangla nang khaw tlang la na luei tih na duek vaengah na pilnam taengla khoem uh van laeh.
51 because you trespassed against Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of Zin, because you did not sanctify Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Zin khosoek, Meribah Kadesh tui taengkah Israel ca rhoek lakli ah kai taengla boe na koek. Israel ca rhoek lakli ah kai nan ciim pawh.
52 Indeed, you see the land before [you], but you do not go in there to the land which I am giving to the sons of Israel.”
Te dongah khohmuen te a hla lamloh na hmuh vetih Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen la na kun mahpawh,” a ti nah.
