Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear O ye heavens and I will speak, And let the earth hear the sayings of my mouth:
Oe kalvannaw thai awh haw, lawk ka dei han. Oe talai ka dei e lawk thai haw.
2 Let my teaching drop as the rain, Let my speech distil as the dew, —As copious rains on tender grass, As myriad drops on seeding plants.
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 When, the name of Yahweh, I proclaim, Ascribe ye greatness unto our God: —
BAWIPA e min teh ka pâpho, maimae Cathut lentoenae teh pâpho awh.
4 A Rock! faultless his work, For, all his ways, are just, A GOD of faithfulness and without perversity, Right and fair, 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 They have broken faith with him to be no sons of his—their fault, —A generation twisted 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 Is it Yahweh, ye thus requite, O impious people and unwise? Is not, he, thy father who begat thee? He, that made thee and established thee?
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 the days of age-past times, Remark the years of many generations, —Ask thy father and he will tell thee, Thine elders and they will say to thee: —
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 When the Most High gave inheritances unto the nations, When he spread abroad the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples, According to the number of the 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, Yahweh’s portion is his people, —Jacob, his inherited possession.
BAWIPA e ham teh a taminaw doeh. Jakop teh a coe e râw doeh.
10 He met him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness, —He encompassed him watched over him, Shielded him as the pupil of his own 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, stirreth up his nest, Over his young ones, fluttereth, Spreadeth abroad his wings, taketh one, Beareth it up on his 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 Yahweh alone did lead him, —And there was with him no GOD of a stranger.
BAWIPA dueng ni doeh Jakop a hrawi, alouke cathut ahni koe awm hoeh.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the land, Caused him to eat the increase of the fields, —And gave him to suck honey out of the cliff, And oil out of the rock of flint:
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 Curds of kine and milk of sheep, —With fat of well-fed lambs, Yea rams bred in Bashan, and he-goats, With the white of the kernels of wheat, —And, the blood of the grape, thou didst drink as it foamed.
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 Then Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou wast fat, Thou wast thick, Thou wast gorged, So he forsook the GOD who made him, And treated as foolish his Rock of 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 moved him to jealousy with foreign [gods], —With abominations, angered they him:
Ahnimouh teh alouke cathut lahoi utsin sak awh. Panuet ka tho e hno lahoi a lungkhuek sak awh.
17 They sacrificed to mischievous demons to a No-GOD, Gods whom they knew not, —New ones lately come in, Your fathers never shuddered at them!
Cathut hoeh e kahrai, panue boihoeh e cathut, mintoenaw ni a taki awh hoeh e cathut koe thuengnae a sak awh.
18 Of the Rock who had begotten thee, thou wast unmindful, —And didst forget GOD who had given thee birth.
Na kasakkung lungsong banglahai na ngâi awh hoeh. Na pa lah kaawm e Cathut hah na pahnim toe.
19 When Yahweh saw, he derided, —Because his sons and his daughters gave provocation.
BAWIPA ni hot hah a hmu nah, a lungkhuek, a canu capanaw ni a pahnawt dawkvah.
20 So he said: —I will hide my face from them, I will see what will be their hereafter, —For a generation given to intrigue, they are, Sons, whom there is no trusting;
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 moved me to jealousy with a No-GOD, They have angered me with their vanities: I, therefore, will move them to jealousy with a No-people, With an impious nation, will I anger them.
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, is kindled in mine anger, And shall burn as far as hades beneath, —And consume the earth with her produce, And set ablaze the foundations of the 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 will heap on them, calamities, —Mine arrows, will I spend upon them:
Ahnimouh lathueng runae ka thueng pouh han, kaie palanaw hah koung ka ka han.
24 The meltings of hunger, The devourings of fever, And the dangerous pestilence, —And, the tooth of beasts, will I send among them, With the poison of crawlers 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 Without, shall the sword bereave, In the inmost recesses, terror, —To both young man and virgin, Suckling, with man of grey hairs.
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 said, I would puff them away, I would destroy from mortals, their memory;
Taran kâoupnae ka taket hoeh nakunghai thoseh,
27 Were it not that the taunt of the foe, I feared, Lest their adversaries should mistake, —Lest they should say—Our own hand, is exalted, It is not Yahweh, therefore who hath wrought 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 a nation of vanished sagacity, they are, —And there is in them no understanding.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungangnae tawn awh hoeh, poukthainae hai tawn awh hoeh.
29 If they had been wise, they would have understood this, —They would have given heed to their here-after!
Lungangnae tawn awh pawiteh, hete hno heh a thaipanuek awh han ei, hmalae kong hah a pouk awh han ei telah a ti.
30 Oh! how would one, have chased, a thousand! And, two, put, ten thousand to flight, —Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And, Yahweh, had abandoned them;
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, not like our Rock, is their rock, Our enemies themselves, being judges;
Maimae tarannaw ni a hmunae dawk teh ahnimae lungsong hoi maimae lungsong kâvan hoeh.
32 For of the vine of Sodom, is their vine, And of the vineyards of Gomorrah, —Their grapes, are grapes of gall, Clusters of bitter things, are theirs:
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 large serpents, is their wine, —Yea the fierce venom of asps.
Ahnimae misurtui teh khorui sue, ka patawpoung e hrunthoe sue lah doeh ao.
34 Is not, that, stored up with me, —Sealed up amongst my treasures;
Hothateh kai koe a pâtung toe. Hnoim dawk hruek lah awm hoehnamaw.
35 Unto the days of vengeance and requital: Unto the time their foot shall totter? For, near, is the day of their fate, And their destiny speedeth on.
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 Yahweh will vindicate his people, And upon his servants, will have compassion, —When he seeth that strength is exhausted, And there is no one shut up or at large,
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 Then will he say, Where are their gods, The rock in whom they have trusted;
Ahnimae cathut, ahnimouh ni a kângue awh e talung nâne ao.
38 Who used to eat the fat of their sacrifices, To drink the wine of their libations? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be over you for a coveting!
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, I, am, he that is, And there are no gods with me, —I, kill—and make alive, I wound and, I, heal, And there is none who, from my hand, can deliver,
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 unto the heavens my hand, —And say, Living am, I, unto times age-abiding:
A yungyoe kahring e doeh telah kalvan lah ka kut ka dâw teh thoe ka kâbo.
41 If I whet my flashing sword, And my hand take hold on justice, I will return vengeance unto mine adversaries, And them who hate me, will I requite:
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 will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And, my sword, shall devour flesh, —With the blood of the slain and the captive, With the flesh of the chief leader of the foe.
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 Shout for joy O ye nations [with] his people, For the blood of his servants, he avengeth, —And, vengeance, he returneth unto his adversaries, And is propitious unto the soil of 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 So Moses came in and spake all the words of this Song in the hearing 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, when Moses made an end of speaking all these words unto all Israel,
Hottelah hete lawknaw Mosi ni Isarelnaw koe he a dei hnukkhu,
46 he said unto them—Apply your hearts unto all the words which I am witnessing against you, to-day, —how that ye must 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, too small a thing, for you, for, it, is your life, —and, hereby, shall ye prolong your days upon the soil whereunto ye 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 Yahweh spake unto Moses, on this selfsame day, saying:
Hot hnin vah BAWIPA ni Jeriko namran Moab ram Abiram monrui Nebo monsom a luen teh,
49 Get thee up into this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is over against Jericho—and behold the land of Canaan which I am giving unto the sons of Israel, for a possession;
Isarelnaw hah kai ni ka poe e ram hah khenhaw.
50 and die thou in the mount whither thou art going up, and be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk, —as Aaron thy brother died in Mount Hor, and was withdrawn unto his kinsfolk;
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 for that ye acted unfaithfully against me in the midst of the sons of Israel, regarding the waters of Meribah-Kadesh in the desert of Zin, —for that ye hallowed me not 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 Yet, over against thee, shalt thou behold the land, —but thereinto, shalt thou not enter, into the land which I am giving unto 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.
