Deuteronomy 1
1 These, are the words, which Moses spake unto all Israel, over the Jordan, —in the wilderness in the waste plain over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban and Hazeroth and Di-zahab:
Hekah olka he Jordan rhalvang kah khosoek, Suph imdan kolken Paran laklo neh Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth neh Dizahab ah Israel boeih ham Moses loh a thui pah.
2 eleven days from Horeb, by way of Mount Seir, as far as Kadesh-barnea.
Te vaengah Seir tlang long kah Horeb lamkah Kadeshbarnea he hnin rha hlai at longcaeh hla pueng.
3 And it came to pass, in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in charge for them;
Kum likip a lo vaengkah a hla hlai at kah hla lamhma cuek dongah BOEIPA kah a uen boeih te Israel ca rhoek ham Moses loh a thui pah.
4 after he had smitten Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, —and Og, king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, in Edrei:
Heshbon ah aka ngol Amori manghai Sihon neh Edrei kah Ashtaroth ah aka ngol Bashan manghai Oga a tloek phoeiah,
5 over the Jordan, in the land of Moab, did Moses take in hand to expound this law, saying: —
Moab kho kah Jordan rhalvang ah BOEIPA kah olkhueng te Moses loh koe a thuicaih tih,
6 Yahweh our God, spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Long enough, have ye dwelt in this mountain:
“Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh Horeb ah a thui tah, 'Hekah tlang ah na om uh khaw rhoeh coeng.
7 Turn ye and set yourselves forward, and enter into the hill country of the Amorites, and into all the places near, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and in the coast of the sea, —the land of Canaan and the Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Nangmih te hooi uh lamtah hlah uh laeh. Amori tlang neh a imben boeih ah, kolken tlang neh kolrhawk ah khaw, Negev neh Kanaan kho kah tuitun langkaeng long khaw, Lebanon tuiva Perath tuiva puei duela cet uh.
8 See! I have set before you the land, —enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh sware unto your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them, and unto their seed, after them.
Nangmih mikhmuh kah khohmuen kam paek he hmuh uh. Cet uh lamtah pang uh. Tekah khohmuen te ni BOEIPA loh na pa rhoek Abraham taengah, Isaak taengah, Jakob taengah khaw amih phoeikah a tii a ngan taengah khaw paek ham la ol a caeng.
9 So I spake unto you, at that time saying, I am unable, by myself, to carry you.
Te vaeng tue ah nang mih taengah ka thui vanbangla, “Nangmih khuen ham he kai loh kan na moenih.
10 Yahweh your God hath multiplied you, and here ye are to-day, like the stars of the heavens for multitude.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih m'ping sak coeng dongah tihnin ah tah vaan kah aisi bangla na yet coeng.
11 Yahweh, the God of your fathers, be adding unto you the like of you, a thousand times, —and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you!
Na pa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih taengkah a thui vanbang la nangmih te a pueh thawng khat lam khaw n'thap saeh lamtah yoethen m'pae saeh.
12 How should I carry by myself the fatigue of you and the burden of you and your controversies?
Tedae nangmih kah laipuei neh hnophueih neh tuituknah te kai loh metlam ka phueih thai eh?
13 Set forth for you—men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, —that I may appoint them to be heads over you.
Te dongah namah koca khui lamkah aka cueih tih aka yakming neh aka ming thai hlang rhoek te namamih ham tuek uh lamtah amih te nangmih kah a lu la ka khueh eh?,’ ka ti.
14 And ye answered me, —and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done.
Te vaengah kai te nan doo uh tih, 'Na ol thui te te then, saii ham om,’ na ti uh.
15 So I took heads for your tribes wise men and known, and placed them as heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers for your tribes.
Te dongah aka cueih tih aka ming hlang rhoek te namamih koca rhoek kah a lu la ka khueh eh. Te vaengah thawngkhat kah mangpa rhoek, yakhat kah mangpa rhoek, sawmnga kah mangpa rhoek neh hlangrha kah mangpa rhoek te nangmih soah a lu la ka khueh tih nangmih koca rhoek kah rhoiboei la om uh.
16 And I charged your judges, at that time, saying, —Ye are to hear between your brethren and shall judge righteously, between each man and his brother and his sojourner.
Te vaengah nangmih taengkah laitloek rhoek te ka uen tih, 'Na manuca rhoek loh a yaak koi la hlang neh a manuca laklo ah khaw yinlai laklo ah khaw duengnah neh laitloek uh.
17 Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment—so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, —but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it.
Laitloeknah dongah hlang maelhmai so uh boeh. Tanoe kangham la na yaak akhaw hlang mikhmuh ah bakuep uh boeh. Laitloeknah he Pathen hut la a om dongah nangmih ham aka kuel olka te tah kai taengla hang khuen uh lamtah n'yaak sak uh,’ ka ti nah.
18 So I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
Te vaeng tue kah nangmih kang uen olka boeih te saii uh.
19 And when we brake up from Horeb, we came through all that great and terrible desert which ye saw, by way of the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us, —and we entered in as far as Kadesh-barnea.
Te dongah mamih BOEIPA Pathen kah a uen vanbangla Horeb lamkah m'puen uh tih khosoek khoham khaw boeih na hmuh uh. Rhih aka om Amori tlang long la n'cet uh tih Kadeshbarnea te m'pha uh.
20 Then said I unto you, —Ye are come in as far as the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.
Te vaengah nangmih taengah, “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih taengah m'paek Amori tlang la na pawk uh coeng.
21 See thou—Yahweh thy God hath set before thee the land, —go up—take possession as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee, do not fear, neither be dismayed.
Na pa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih taengah, 'Rhih boeh, rhihyawp boeh,’ a ti vanbangla nangmih mikhmuh ah na BOEIPA Pathen loh m'paek ke so uh. Khohmuen ke cet lamtah pang laeh,’ ka ti.
22 And ye came near unto me all of you, and said Let us send men before us, that they may search out for us the land, —and bring us back word, the way by which we must go up, and the cities whereinto we must enter,
Te vaengah kai taengla boeih na capit uh tih, 'Mamih hmai ah hlang tueih uh sih lamtah khohmuen te ha hip uh saeh. Te daengah ni n'caeh ham koi longpuei neh m'pha ham koi khopuei rhoek kah olka te mamih taengla hang khuen uh eh,” na ti uh.
23 And the thing, was good in mine eyes, —so I took from among you twelve men, one man for each tribe.
Tekah olka ka mik dongah a thuem van dongah koca pakhat ah hlang pakhat neh hlang hlai nit te nangmih khui lamkah ka tuek.
24 And they turned and went up the hill-country, and entered in as far as the ravine of Eshcol, and explored it.
Te dongah hooi uh tih tlang la a yoeng uh phoeiah Eshkol soklong la pawk uh tih kho a hip uh.
25 And they took in their hand of the fruit of the country, and bare it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said, Good is the land, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.
Te vaengah khohmuen thaihtae te a kut neh a loh uh tih mammih taengla han suntlak puei uh phoeiah mamih ham olka ham voeih uh. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA loh mamih taengah m'paek khohmuen kah a then te khaw a thui uh.
26 Nevertheless ye were not willing to go up, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, your God;
Tedae caeh ham na huem uh pawt dongah na BOEIPA Pathen kah ol te na koek uh.
27 and murmured in your tents and said, Because Yahweh hated us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, —to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Namamih kah dap khuiah pataeng na cailak uh tih, 'Mamih kah BOEIPA kah hmuhuetnah dongah mamih mitmoeng sak ham ni Egypt kho lamloh n'khuen tih Amori kut dongla n'thak.
28 Whither, are, we, to go up? Our own brethren, have made our heart melt saying—A people greater and taller than we, cities large and walled-up into the heavens, —yea, moreover sons of Anakim, have we seen there.
Kaimih ta melam ka caeh uh eh? Mah manuca aka cet rhoek loh, 'Pilnam loh len uh tih mamih lakah sang uh, khopuei rhoek khaw ka tih a vong cak loh vaan duela a pha, teah te Anakim ca rhoek khaw ka hmuh,’ a ti uh tih mamih kah lungbuei thinko he hoeng a khah uh.
29 Then I said unto you, —Ye must not tremble, nor be afraid of them:
Nangmih te, “Amih taengah na sarhing sak boeh, rhih uh boeh,’ ka ti.
30 Yahweh your God, who is going before you, he, will fight for you, —according to all that he did with you in Egypt, before your eyes;
Nangmih mikhmuh kah aka cet na Pathen BOEIPA loh Egypt ah nangmih ham namamih mikhmuh kah a saii bang boeih la nangmih ham a vathoh bitni.
31 also in the desert which thou hast seen, where Yahweh thy God carried thee as a man will carry his son, throughout all the way that ye journeyed, until ye entered as far as, this place.
Hekah hmuen na pha uh due na caeh uh vaengah longpueng khing ah hlang loh a ca a poeh bangla khosoek ah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih m'poeh te khaw na hmuh uh coeng.
32 But in this thing, ye were putting no trust in Yahweh your God;
Tedae tekah olka a om lalah nangmih loh BOEIPA na Pathen te na tangnah uh pawh.
33 who was going before you in the way—to search out for you a place, where ye might encamp, —in the fire by night, that ye might get sight of the way wherein ye should go, and in the cloud, by day.
Longpueng ah na rhaeh nah ham nangmih kah hmuen tlap te nangmih mikhmuh ah halo. Khoyin ah hmai neh longpuei te nangmih n'tueng tih khothaih ah cingmai neh na cet uh.
34 And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, —and was wroth and sware—saying:
Nangmih kah olka ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak vaengah a thintoek tih ol a caeng.
35 Surely, not one of these men, this wicked generation, —shall see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers:
“Na pa rhoek taengah paek ham ka caeng khohmuen then te he kah boethae thawnpuei hlang rhoek khuikah hlang loh hmu mahpawh.
36 saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons, —because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.
Jephunneh capa Kaleb long tah te a hmuh ni. BOEIPA hnukah a tlun van dongah a soah a cawt vanbangla khohmuen te anih taeng neh a ca rhoek taengah aka paek ni, ' a ti.
37 Even with me, did Yahweh show himself angry, for your sakes, saying, —Even thou, shalt not enter therein.
Nangmih kongah kai taengah khaw BOEIPA loh a thintoek tih, 'Nang khaw na kun mahpawh.
38 Joshua son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he, shall enter in thither, him, strengthen thou, for he, shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Na mikhmuh ah aka pai Nun capa Joshua tah kun ni. Israel te anih loh a pang ham coeng dongah anih te mah talong laeh.
39 And your little ones, of whom ye said they should become, a prey, and your sons who to-day know not good and evil, they, shall enter in thither, —and unto them, will I give it, and they, shall possess it.
Na ca te maeh la om ni na ti uh cakhaw a tue thae then aka ming mueh na ca rhoek tah kun uh ni. Te dongah amih te khohmuen ka paek vetih amih loh a pang uh ni.
40 But as for you, turn ye, for your part, —and set forward towards the desert, by way of the Red Sea.
Tedae nangmih te namamih mael uh lamtah carhaek li longpuei kah khosoek te paan uh,’ a ti.
41 Then responded ye and said unto me—We have sinned against Yahweh, We, ourselves, will go up, and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God hath commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye foolishly went up towards the hill-country.
Te vaengah kai he nan doo uh tih, 'BOEIPA taengah ka tholh uh coeng. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA kah a uen bangla boeih yoeng uh sih lamtah vathoh uh sih,’ na ti uh. Te dongah hlang khat rhip loh amah kah caemtloek tubael te a vah uh tih tlang la yoeng ham te na yoeikoek sakuh.
42 Then said Yahweh unto me—Say unto them Ye shall not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, —lest ye should be smitten before your enemies.
Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Amih te thui pah. Cet uh boeh, vathoh uh boeh, nangmih lakli ah ka om pawt dongah na thunkha rhoek kah mikhmuh ah na yawk uh mahpawt nim,” a ti.
43 So I spake unto you howbeit ye hearkened not, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and presumptuously went up the hill-country.
Nangmih taengah ka thui dae na ngai uh pawt tih BOEIPA ol te na koek uh. Na lokhak uh tih tlang la na luei uh.
44 Then came forth the Amorites who were dwelling in that country, to meet you, and they chased you, as do, bees; and struck you down in Seir, as far as Hormah.
Te dongah nangmih aka doe ham tlang ah aka om Amori te halo tih khoi loh a cuk thil bangla nangmih te n'hloem uh phoeiah Seir lamkah Hormah duela nangmih te m'phop uh.
45 So then ye returned and wept before Yahweh, —but Yahweh hearkened not unto your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
Te vaengah na balkhong uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah na rhap uh dae nangmih ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak voel mueh la nangmih taengah a hna khaw kaeng pawh.
46 And ye abode in Kadesh many days, —how many were the days that ye abode [there]!
Te dongah ni Kadesh kah na om uh te khohnin la khohnin a yet na om uh.
