Deuteronomy 32
1 “Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And you hear, O earth, sayings of my mouth!
Oe kalvannaw thai awh haw, lawk ka dei han. Oe talai ka dei e lawk thai haw.
2 My doctrine drops as rain; My sayings flow as dew; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
Kaie phunglawk teh kho patetlah masimmasim a rak han. Ka lawk teh tadamtui patetlah a bo han. Patue e naw dawk ka rak e kho patetlah thoseh, phonaw dawk moikapap e kho patetlah thoseh ao han.
3 For I proclaim the Name of YHWH; Ascribe greatness to our God!
BAWIPA e min teh ka pâpho, maimae Cathut lentoenae teh pâpho awh.
4 The Rock—His work [is] perfect, For all His ways [are] just; God of steadfastness, and without iniquity; Righteous and upright [is] He.
Ama teh lungsongpui doeh, a tawksak e akuep. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lamthung teh a lan, yuemkamcu e Cathut, yon tawn hoeh, katang e hoi kalan e BAWIPA lah ao.
5 It has done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not of His sons, A generation perverse and crooked!
Ahnimouh a rawk awh toe. Cathut e ca lah awm awh hoeh, toun hoeh kawi lah awm awh hoeh. A lungthin a longkawi teh ka payon e miphun lah ao awh.
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.
Oe lungangnae ka tawn hoeh e kapathunaw, BAWIPA e pahrennae hettelamaw na pathung awh han. Ka kawkhikkung na pa nahoehmaw, na sak awh teh na caksak awh hoeh maw.
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:
Ayan e taminaw pahnim hanh awh, Se moi kaloum tangcoung e pouk awh, na pa pacei nateh na dei pouh han, kacuenaw pacei nateh ahnimouh ni a dei awh han.
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]].
Lathueng Poung ni Adam catoun lah kaawm e naw hah a kapek teh, râw a rei navah, Isarelnaw a youn a pap e hah a khet teh miphun onae hmuen a khuen pouh.
9 For YHWH’s portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line of His inheritance.
BAWIPA e ham teh a taminaw doeh. Jakop teh a coe e râw doeh.
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.
Tami kingdinae koe sarang a hram, thingyeiyawn koe Jakop a hmu toteh, khik a vuiluk teh mitmu patetlah a ring.
11 As an eagle wakes up its nest, Flutters over its young ones, Spreads its wings [and] takes them, Carries them on its pinions—
Mataw ni a tabu a raphoe teh, a canaw lathueng a rathei a kadai teh, a canaw a rathei hoi a tawm e patetlah,
12 YHWH alone leads him, And there is no strange god with him.
BAWIPA dueng ni doeh Jakop a hrawi, alouke cathut ahni koe awm hoeh.
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;
Talai rasangnae koe hmuen a poe teh, talai a pawhik hah a ca teh, lungha dawk e khoitui hai thoseh, lungtaw dawk e satui hai thoseh,
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!
Tuca thaw, Bashannaw e tutan, maitotan, hmae thaw, satun, kuen dawk e ahrei, maito sanutui, tu sanutui nei hane hoi misur tui thipaling na nei.
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.
Hatei, Jeshurun teh a thâw dawk khok hoi a pâthui. Na thâw, na len, ahrei hoi na kawi dawkvah, na kasakkung Cathut na pahnawt teh rungngangnae lungsong banglahai na noutna hoeh.
16 They make Him zealous with strangers, They make Him angry with abominations.
Ahnimouh teh alouke cathut lahoi utsin sak awh. Panuet ka tho e hno lahoi a lungkhuek sak awh.
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!
Cathut hoeh e kahrai, panue boihoeh e cathut, mintoenaw ni a taki awh hoeh e cathut koe thuengnae a sak awh.
18 You forget the Rock that begot you, And neglect God who forms you.
Na kasakkung lungsong banglahai na ngâi awh hoeh. Na pa lah kaawm e Cathut hah na pahnim toe.
19 And YHWH sees and despises—For the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
BAWIPA ni hot hah a hmu nah, a lungkhuek, a canu capanaw ni a pahnawt dawkvah.
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.
Kai ni ka minhmai ka hro han, bangtelamaw apoutnae ao han tie ka khet han, lungkapatak e miphun, yuemkamcu hoeh e canaw lah ao awh.
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.
Cathut lah kaawm hoeh e hno lahoi utsinnae tawn sak hanelah a sak awh toe. Ayawmyin e hnopai lahoi lung na khuek sak awh toe. Hatdawkvah, miphun lah kaawm hoeh e lahoi ahnimouh utsin sak hanelah lungkaang hoeh e miphun lahoi lungkhueksak hanelah ka sak han.
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 lungkhuek teh hmai ka sawi. Kadung poung e sheol totouh a kak han. Talai dawk e a pawhik kamtawisak vaiteh mon kamhungnae totouh a kak han. (Sheol h7585)
23 I heap calamities on them, I consume My arrows on them.
Ahnimouh lathueng runae ka thueng pouh han, kaie palanaw hah koung ka ka han.
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.
Vonhlamrinci a khang awh han. Kâannae, puenghoi rawknae lahoi a rawk awh han. Sarangnaw e hâ thoseh, talai dawk kaawm e tahrunsue thoseh, ahnimouh koe ka patoun han.
25 The sword destroys from outside, And out of the inner-chambers—terror, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
Alawilah tahloi hoi duenae, imthung taki ka tho e runae ni thoundoun tangla thoseh, sanu ka net lahun e camo hoi a sam ka po tangcoung e matawng thoseh a raphoe han.
26 I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
Taran kâoupnae ka taket hoeh nakunghai thoseh,
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.
Tarannaw a kâoup awh teh, hete hnopueng BAWIPA ni sak hoeh, ka lentoe e maimae kut ni doeh a sak ati han. Kai lungpuen han ka tawn hoeh nakunghai ahnimouh hah talai pout totouh kampek sak vaiteh, apinihai a pouk hoeh nahanlah ka raphoe han telah pouknae ka tawn.
28 For they [are] a nation lost to counsels, And there is no understanding in them.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungangnae tawn awh hoeh, poukthainae hai tawn awh hoeh.
29 If only they were wise, They would deal wisely [with] this, They would attend to their latter end!
Lungangnae tawn awh pawiteh, hete hno heh a thaipanuek awh han ei, hmalae kong hah a pouk awh han ei telah a ti.
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?
A kângue awh e lungsong ni ahnimouh yawt awh hoeh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh poe hoehpawiteh, tami buet touh ni tami 1,000 touh bangtelamaw a pâlei thai han. Tami kahni touh ni tami thong hni touh bangtelamaw yawngsak thai han.
31 For their rock [is] not as our Rock (And our enemies [are] judges!)
Maimae tarannaw ni a hmunae dawk teh ahnimae lungsong hoi maimae lungsong kâvan hoeh.
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;
Ahnimae misurkung teh Sodom ram e doeh. Gomorrah talai dawk ka pâw e a kung doeh. Ahnimae misurpaw teh kakhat e a kung dawk e a paw lah ao teh, misurbomnaw teh kakhat e hoi doeh a kawi.
33 The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of cobras.
Ahnimae misurtui teh khorui sue, ka patawpoung e hrunthoe sue lah doeh ao.
34 Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures?
Hothateh kai koe a pâtung toe. Hnoim dawk hruek lah awm hoehnamaw.
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.
Moipathungnae teh kai ni ka sak hane doeh. Atueng akuep toteh ahnimae khok a tâlaw han. Ahnimouh koe runae pha nahane tueng a hnai toe. A kâhmo awh hane runae karangpounglah a tho han toe.
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.
BAWIPA ni a taminaw hanelah lawk a ceng han. A taminaw teh bahu a baw toe, a paung e ka hlout e buet touh boehai ao hoeh e hah a hmu navah, ahnimouh pahren vaiteh,
37 And He has said, Where [are] their gods—The rock in which they trusted?
Ahnimae cathut, ahnimouh ni a kângue awh e talung nâne ao.
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!
Ahnimouh ni a thuengnae a thâw hah a ca awh teh, nei thuengnae misur kanetnaw teh namaw ao. Thaw awh naseh, nangmouh na kabawm awh naseh.
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, kama roeroe Cathut tie thoseh, kai hloilah alouke cathut awmhoeh tie thoseh, khenhaw! ka thei thai, ka hringsakthai, moihna ka thosak thai, ka damsak thai, ka kut dawk hoi apini na lawm thai mahoeh.
40 For I lift up My hand to the heavens, And have said, I live for all time!
A yungyoe kahring e doeh telah kalvan lah ka kut ka dâw teh thoe ka kâbo.
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!
Loukloukkaang e tahloi ka kata teh, lawkcengnae ka patuep teh, ka tarannaw koe moi ka pathung han. Kai na kahmuhmanaw koe kamculah ka pathung han.
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 palanaw hah thipaling hoi ka paruisak vaiteh, ka tahloi ni a moi a ca han. Thei lah kaawm e sannaw e thipaling hoi taranbawinaw e a lû a ca pouh han.
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.”
Jentel miphunnaw nangmouh ni Cathut e a taminaw hoi lung rei hawi awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie sannaw theinae yon hoi kâki lah runae ka rek teh, a tarannaw koe yon moipathung han toe. A ram hoi a taminaw yontha pouh han.
44 And Moses comes and speaks all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
Mosi hoi Nun capa Joshua a tho roi teh hete la lawknaw pueng hah tami pueng koe a dei pouh roi.
45 and Moses finishes to speak all these words to all Israel,
Hottelah hete lawknaw Mosi ni Isarelnaw koe he a dei hnukkhu,
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,
Nangmouh koe sahnin ka pâpho e lawknaw pueng heh na lungthung pâkuem awh. Na canaw ni hete kâlawk pueng hah a tarawi awh nahanelah, ahnimouh koe bout dei pouh awh.
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.”
Hete hno heh rumram e nahoeh, nangmouh na hringnae hoi kâkuen e doeh. Jordan palang na raka awh teh na pang awh hane ram dawk hete hno na tarawi pawiteh, na hring a saw awh han telah a dei.
48 And YHWH speaks to Moses on this very same day, saying,
Hot hnin vah BAWIPA ni Jeriko namran Moab ram Abiram monrui Nebo monsom a luen teh,
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;
Isarelnaw hah kai ni ka poe e ram hah khenhaw.
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 hmau Aron teh Hor mon vah a due teh a taminaw a kamkhuengnae koe a pha e patetlah nang hai na luennae hete mon dawk dout nateh na taminaw kamkhuengnae koe phat lawih.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh ni Zin thingyeiyawn, Kadesh kho Meribah tui teng vah, Isarelnaw hmalah kai barinae tawn laipalah na yon awh toe.
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.”
Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw koe ka poe e ram hah nang ni na mit hoi na hmu nakunghai, hote ram dawk na kâen mahoeh telah Mosi koe a dei pouh.
