Deuteronomy 9
1 “Hear, O Israel: You are passing over the Jordan today to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the heavens,
Israel nang loh hnatun lah. Nang lakah aka len tih aka tlung khopuei dangka neh vong cak loh vaan duela aka sang namtom rhoek te paan ham neh huul hamla tihnin ah Jordan ke kat laeh.
2 a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom you have known, and [of whom] you have heard: Who stations himself before sons of Anak?
Anakim ca rhoek tah pilnam khaw len tih sang. Te te na ming tih na yaak coeng. Anakim ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah unim aka pai?
3 And you have known today that your God YHWH [is] He who is passing over before you [as] a consuming fire; He destroys them, and He humbles them before you, and you have dispossessed them, and destroyed them quickly, as YHWH has spoken to you.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang hmai ah a caeh hnin te ming lah. Amih te hmai loh a hlawp vetih a mitmoeng sak ni. Amih te na mikhmuh ah a kunyun sak vetih na huul bitni. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh nang n'uen vanbangla amih te na milh sak banlak bitni.
4 You do not speak in your heart (in your God YHWH’s driving them away from before you), saying, In my righteousness YHWH has brought me in to possess this land; but in YHWH dispossessing these nations from your presence, [it is because of] their being wicked.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih te na mikhmuh lamkah a haek vaengah na thinko neh, “Ka duengnah neh he khohmuen pang sak ham BOEIPA loh kai n'khuen,” ti rhoe ti boeh. Tedae he namtom rhoek he a halangnah dongah ni BOEIPA loh nangmih mikhmuh lamkah a haek.
5 [It is] not in your righteousness and in the uprightness of your heart [that] you are going in to possess their land, but in YHWH dispossessing these nations from your presence, [it is because of] their being wicked, and in order to establish the word which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
Na duengnah neh na thinko a dueng dongah amih khohmuen pang ham na caeh moenih. Tedae he namtom rhoek kah halangnah dongah ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih te nangmih mikhmuh lamkah a haek tih na pa rhoek Abraham, Isaak, Jakob taengah BOEIPA loh ol a caeng te a thoh.
6 and you have known that [it is] not in your righteousness [that] your God YHWH is giving this good land to you to possess it, for you [are] a people stiff of neck.
Te dongah na duengnah neh nang pilnam rhawn cak te khohmuen then pang sak ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek moenih tila ming lah.
7 Remember [and] do not forget that [with] which you have made your God YHWH angry in the wilderness; from the day that you have come out of the land of Egypt until your coming to this place, you have been rebellious against YHWH;
Khosoek ah BOEIPA na Pathen thin na toek sak uh te hnilh mueh la poek. Egypt kho na nong tak uh hnin lamloh he hmuen na pha uh due BOEIPA aka koek la khoeng na om uh.
8 even in Horeb you have made YHWH angry, and YHWH shows Himself angry against you—to destroy you.
Horeb ah khaw BOEIPA thin na toek sak uh dongah nangmih mit sak ham duela nangmih taengah BOEIPA loh a thintoek.
9 In my going up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone (tablets of the covenant which YHWH has made with you), then I abide on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I have not eaten bread and I have not drunk water;
Lungto cabael rhoi doe hamla tlang la ka luei. Te tah BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah a saii paipi cabael ni. Te vaengah tlang ah khohnin sawmli neh khoyin sawmli buh caak mueh neh tui ok mueh la kho ka sak.
10 and YHWH gives to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them [is] according to all the words which YHWH has spoken with you on the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.
Hlangping hnin ah BOEIPA loh tlang ah nangmih ham hmai khui lamkah a thui ol te lungto cabael panit dongah Pathen kutdawn loh rhuemtuet la a daek tih BOEIPA amah loh kai taengah m'paek.
11 And it comes to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, YHWH has given the two tablets of stone to me—tablets of the covenant.
Khothaih likip neh khoyin likip bawtnah dongah BOEIPA loh paipi cabael la lungto cabael rhoi te kai m'paek.
12 Then YHWH says to me, Rise, go down, hurry from here, for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have done corruptly; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I have commanded them—they have made a molten thing for themselves!
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Thoo, he lamloh a loe la suntla laeh. Egypt lamkah nang khuen na pilnam loh poci coeng. Amih taengah longpuei ka uen te vawl nong uh tih amamih ham mueihlawn a saii uh,” a ti.
13 And YHWH speaks to me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it [is] a people stiff of neck.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kai m'voek bal tih, “Pilnam he ka sawt vaengah a rhawn khaw mangkhak la aka om pilnam rhoe la he.
14 Desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make you become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.
Kamah bueng he om mai lamtah amih te ka mit sak mai eh. A ming te khaw vaan hmui lamloh ka phae mai eh. Nang te tah namtom pilnu neh anih lakah hlangping ngai la kan saii bitni,” a ti.
15 And I turn and come down from the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant [are] on my two hands,
Te dongah tlang lamloh ka mael tih ka suntlak vaengah tlang te hmai loh a dom coeng. Te vaengah paipi lungpael rhoi te ka kut rhoi dongah ka poem.
16 and I see, and behold, you have sinned against your God YHWH; you have made a molten calf for yourselves; you have quickly turned aside from the way which YHWH has commanded you.
Te vaengah nangmih loh BOEIPA kah a uen longpuei lamkah vilvak na nong uh. Vaitoca kah mueihlawn te namamih ham na saii uh tih BOEIPA na Pathen taengah na tholh uh te kak ka hmuh.
17 And I lay hold on the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and break them before your eyes,
Te dongah lungpael panit te ka tuuk tih ka kut rhoi dong lamkah ka voeih tih nangmih mikhmuh ah ka rhek sak.
18 and I throw myself before YHWH, as at first, [for] forty days and forty nights; I have not eaten bread and I have not drunk water, because of all your sins which you have sinned by doing evil in the eyes of YHWH, to make Him angry.
Te phoeiah lamhma kah bangla khothaih likip neh khoyin likip BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka bakop tih buh ka ca pawh, tui khaw ka o pawh. Namamih kah tholh cungkuem neh laihmuh la a mikhmuh ah thae na saii uh neh BOEIPA na veet uh.
19 For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury with which YHWH has been angry against you, to destroy you; and YHWH also listens to me at this time.
Nangmih phae ham pataeng BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah a thintoek tih a thintoek neh a kosi te sut ka rhih. Tedae te tue ah BOEIPA loh ka ol koep a hnatun.
20 And YHWH has showed Himself very angry with Aaron, to destroy him, and I also pray for Aaron at that time.
Aaron taengah khaw anih phae ham duela BOEIPA loh bahoeng a thintoek. Tedae te vaeng tue ah Aaron ham khaw ka thangthui pah.
21 And I have taken your sin, the calf which you have made, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well until it [is] small as dust, and I cast its dust into the brook which is going down out of the mountain.
Na khoeng na voep na saii uh vaitoca te khaw ka loh tih hmai neh ka hoeh. Te phoeiah laipi bangla a tip hil vuetvuet ka neet tih ka phom. Te phoeiah tlang lamkah aka long soklong ah laipi bangla ka voeih.
22 And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah, you have been making YHWH angry;
Teberah ah khaw, Masah ah khaw, Kiborthhattaavah ah khaw BOEIPA kah thintoek ham koi la khoeng na om uh.
23 also in YHWH’s sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given to you; then you provoke the mouth of your God YHWH, and have not given credence to Him, nor listened to His voice.
BOEIPA loh nangmih te, “Nangmih kam paek khohmuen te cet uh lamtah pang uh,” a ti. Kadeshbarnea lamkah n'tueih vaengah khaw BOEIPA na Pathen kah ol te na koek uh bal. Amah te na tangnah uh pawt tih a ol te na hnatun uh pawh.
24 You have been rebellious against YHWH from the day of my knowing you.
Ka ming paek lamloh nangmih he BOEIPA aka koek lam ni khoeng na om uh.
25 And I throw myself before YHWH—the forty days and the forty nights when I had thrown myself—because YHWH has commanded to destroy you;
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khothaih likip neh khoyin likip ka bakop te khaw BOEIPA loh nangmih mitmoeng sak ham a thui dongah ni ka bakop.
26 and I pray to YHWH, and say, Lord YHWH, do not destroy Your people and Your inheritance whom You have ransomed in Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a strong hand;
Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah ka thangthui tih, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, namah kah boeilennah dongah na lat tih tlungluen kut neh Egypt lamkah na loh na pilnam neh na rho te phae boel mai saw.
27 be mindful of Your servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob; do not turn to the stiffness of this people, and to its wickedness, and to its sin,
Na sal rhoek Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob te poek lamtah pilnam kah mangkhak neh tholh halangnah te mael thil boel mai.
28 lest the land from which You have brought us out says, Because of YHWH’s want of ability to bring them into the land of which He has spoken to them, and because of His hating them, He brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.
Kaimih nang khuen nah khohmuen long tah, “Amih ham a thui pah khohmuen la amih khuen ham te BOEIPA loh coeng thai pawt tih amah kah hmuhuetnah la a om dongah khosoek ah duek sak ham ni amih te a khuen,” ti uh lah ve.
29 And they [are] Your people and Your inheritance, whom You have brought out by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!”
Tedae amih he na pilnam neh na rho ni. Te dongah ni na thadueng len neh na khuen tih na ban loh a lam thil,” ka ti nah.
