Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
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, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, "Who can stand before the 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 Know therefore this day, that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as the LORD 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 Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, "For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land"; because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
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 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which he swore 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 Know therefore, that the LORD your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.
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, do not forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
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 Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with 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 When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank 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 The LORD delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God; and on them were all the words which the LORD spoke 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 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.
Khothaih likip neh khoyin likip bawtnah dongah BOEIPA loh paipi cabael la lungto cabael rhoi te kai m'paek.
12 The LORD said to me, "Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image."
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 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, "I have seen this people, and look, it is a stiff-necked people:
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 let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they."
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 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tablets of the covenant were in 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 I looked, and look, you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had 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 I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke 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 I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
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 was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.
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 The LORD was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same 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 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended 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 At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked the LORD to wrath.
Teberah ah khaw, Masah ah khaw, Kiborthhattaavah ah khaw BOEIPA kah thintoek ham koi la khoeng na om uh.
23 When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, "Go up and possess the land which I have given you"; then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you did not believe him, nor listen 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 the LORD from the day that I knew you.
Ka ming paek lamloh nangmih he BOEIPA aka koek lam ni khoeng na om uh.
25 So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because the LORD had said he would 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 I prayed to God, and said, "Lord GOD, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty 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 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their 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 you brought us out from say, 'Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them 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 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you 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.
