Deuteronomy 31
1 When Moses/I finished saying all that to the Israeli people,
Mosi ni a cei teh Isarel miphun pueng koe bout a dei pouh e lawk teh,
2 he/I said to them, “Now I am 120 years old. I am no longer able to go everywhere [that you go] (OR, to be your leader). Furthermore, Yahweh has told me that I will not cross the Jordan [River].
kai kum 120 a kuep toe. Nangmouh koe ka kâhlai thai hoeh toe, BAWIPA ni hai Jordan palang na rakat mahoeh ati toe.
3 But Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will [enable you to] destroy the nations that are living there, in order that you can occupy their land. Joshua will be your leader, which is what Yahweh already told me.
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na hmalah a raka teh hote khocanaw a raphoe vaiteh, ahnimae hmuen nangmouh ni na pang awh han. BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah Joshua ni nangmae hmalah a raka han.
4 Yahweh will do to those nations what he did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amor people-group when he destroyed their armies [MTY].
BAWIPA ni hai Amor siangpahrang Sihon hoi Og dawk thoseh, a raphoe e ahnimae ram dawk thoseh, a sak e patetlah hote khocanaw dawk a sak han.
5 Yahweh will enable you to conquer those nations, but you must [kill all of the people of those nations, which is] what I have commanded you to do.
BAWIPA ni ahnimouh nangmouh koe na poe vaiteh, lawk na poe e patetlah ahnimouh dawk a sak han.
6 Be brave and confident. Do not be afraid of those people. [Do not forget that] it is Yahweh our God who will go with you. He will always help [LIT] you and never abandon you.”
Tha kâlat awh nateh, na taranhawi awh. Na lungtâsue awh hanh. Ahnimouh taket awh hanh. BAWIPA teh nangmae Cathut lah ao. Nangmouh hoi rei ka cet e teh BAWIPA doeh. Na hnoun mahoeh, na cettakhai mahoeh telah ati.
7 Then Moses/I summoned Joshua, and while all the Israeli people were listening, he/I said to him, “Be brave and confident. You are the one who will lead these people into the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them, and you will enable them to occupy it.
Joshua bout a kaw teh, tha kâlat nateh na taranhawi haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hete tami koe poe hanlah, mintoenaw koe thoebo e ram koelah ahnimouh hoi rei na cei vaiteh, râw na pang awh han.
8 It is Yahweh who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will always help [LIT] you. He will never abandon you. So do not be afraid or dismayed.”
Na hmalah BAWIPA a cei han, nang hoi rei ao han, hnuklah na kamlang takhai mahoeh, tâsue hanh, na lungpout hanh, telah Isarel miphunnaw hmalah a dei.
9 Moses/I wrote down all these laws [on two scrolls] and gave [one scroll] to the priests, who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments, and [gave the other scroll] to the Israeli elders.
Mosi ni hete kâlawk a thut teh, BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong kâkayawn e Levih miphun vaihmanaw, Isarel miphun kacuenaw koe a poe teh,
10 Moses/I told them, “At the end of every seven years, at the time that all debts are canceled, [read this to the people] during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters.
Lawk a thui e teh, kum sari akuep nah sannaw hlout nahan sut oup e lukkareiim pawi tueng a pha navah,
11 Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him.
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni rawi e hmuen koe Isarel miphun pueng teh, a ham lah kâpâtue hanelah a tho awh toteh, hete kâlawk hah tamimaya hmalah na touk pouh han.
12 Gather together everyone—men, women, children, even the foreigners [who are living] in your towns—in order that they may hear [these laws] and learn to revere Yahweh our God, and to faithfully obey everything that is written in these laws.
Tongpa, napui, camonaw nangmouh koe kaawm e imyinnaw ni a thai awh teh a kamtu awh teh BAWIPA na Cathut hah a taki awh teh hete kâlawk pueng hah kâhruetcuet laihoi a hringkhai awh nahanlah,
13 [If they do that], your descendants who have never known these laws will hear them and will also learn to revere Yahweh our God, during all the years that they live in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
ka thai hoeh rae a canaw ni hai a thai awh nahanlah Jordan palang namran lah cei vaiteh na pang awh hane ram dawk na o awh nathung BAWIPA na Cathut takinae a kamtu thai awh nahanlah pâkhueng loe telah kâ a poe.
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen carefully. You will soon die. Summon Joshua, and you go to the Sacred Tent with him, in order that I may appoint him [to be the new leader].” So Joshua and Moses/I went to the Sacred Tent.
BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, na due nahane tueng a hnai toe, Joshua kaw nateh kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe hnai awh. Ahni lawk ka thui han telah atipouh. Hateh Mosi hoi Joshua teh kamnue hanelah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe a cei roi.
15 There Yahweh appeared to them/us in a pillar of cloud, and that cloud was close to the door of the tent.
BAWIPA ni lukkareiim dawk tâmaikhom hoi a kamnue pouh teh, tâmaikhom ni lukkareiim takhang koe a kangdue.
16 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “You will soon die [EUP]. Then these people will become unfaithful [MET] to me. They will abandon me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them. They will begin to worship the foreign/pagan gods [that are worshiped by the people] of the land that they will enter.
BAWIPA ni Mosi koe, na mintoenaw hoi na i han toe. Hete miphunnaw ni atu a pâtam awh e ram dawk kaawm e Jentelnaw ni a bawk e cathutnaw hoi a yon awh teh kai na pahnawt awh vaiteh lawkkam a raphoe awh han.
17 When that happens, I will become very angry with them. I will abandon them [DOU] and I will no longer help them [IDM], and I will destroy them {they will be destroyed}. Many terrible things will happen to them, with the result that they will say, ‘[We are certain that] [RHQ] these things are happening to us because our God is no longer with us.’
Hat toteh, kai ka lungkhuek vaiteh, ahnimouh ka kamlang takhai han. A rawk awh vaiteh lungpoutnae hoi rucatnae puenghoi a kâhmo awh han, hatnavah ahnimouh ni Cathut ni maimouh koe ao hoeh dawk hete rucatnae maimouh lathueng a pha nahoehmaw telah a dei awh han.
18 And because of all the evil things that they will have done, and [especially because] they will have started to worship other gods, I will refuse to help [IDM] them.
Ahnimouh ni alouke cathut koe a kamlang awh e yonae dawk, kai ni minhmai ka hro han.
19 “So, [I am going to give you] a song. Write it [on a scroll] and teach it to the Israeli people and cause them to memorize it. It will be like a witness that accuses them.
Hatdawkvah, hete la heh ahnimouh han thun pouh. Isarelnaw cangkhaih, Isarelnaw e kong dawk kapanuekkhaikung lah ao nahan a pahni dawk hrueng pouh.
20 I am about to take them into a very fertile [IDM] land, a land that I solemnly promised their ancestors that I would give to them. There they will have plenty to eat, with the result that their [stomachs] will [always] be full and they will become fat. But then they will turn to other gods and start to worship them, and they will despise me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na mintoenaw koe thoe ka bo e sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae ram koe ka hrawi awh vaiteh, ka boum lah a ca awh hnukkhu a thaw awh vaiteh cathut alouke koelah a kamlang awh han. A thaw tawk awh vaiteh kai na taran awh han, ka lawkkam a raphoe awh han.
21 And they will experience many terrible disasters. After that happens, their descendants will never forget this song, and it will be like a witness [that says, ‘Now you know why Yahweh punished your ancestors].’ I will soon take them into the land that I vowed that I would give to them; but now, before I do that, I know what they are thinking [that they will do when they are living there].”
Rucatnae hoi yawthoenae pueng a kâhmo awh navah, hete la heh amamouh kapanuekkhaikung lah ao nahan a catounnaw e pahni dawk hai pahnim awh mahoeh. Kai ni thoeboe e ram dawk ka ceikhai hoehnahlan atu patenghai a pouknae ka panue toe telah ati.
22 So on the day that [Yahweh gave Moses/me this song], he/I wrote it down, and he/I taught it to the Israeli people.
Mosi ni hai hote hnin navah la a thut teh Isarelnaw a cangkhai.
23 Then Yahweh (appointed/set apart) Joshua and said to him, “Be brave and confident, because you will lead the Israeli people into the land that I vowed that I would give to them. And I will be with you.”
Nun capa Joshua koe, tha kâlat nateh na taranhawi sak. Kai ni thoe ka bo e ram dawk Isarelnaw na kâenkhai han. Kai ni na okhai han, atipouh.
24 Then Moses/I finished writing on a scroll all the laws that Yahweh had told to him/me.
Mosi ni hete kâlawknaw cauk dawk be a pakhum hnukkhu,
25 Then Moses/I told the descendants of Levi, who were carrying the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments,
Lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e Levihnaw a kaw teh,
26 “Take this scroll on which these laws [are written], and place it beside the Sacred Chest that contains the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you, in order that it may remain there to testify [about what Yahweh will do] to the people [if they disobey him].
Hete kâlawk cauk lat awh nateh, namamouh na kapanuekkhaikung lah BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong hmalah hrueng awh.
27 [I say this] because I know that these people are very stubborn [DOU]. They have rebelled against Yahweh all during the time that I have been [with them], and they will rebel much more after I die!
Nangmae miphun teh taranthawnae, lungpatanae na tawn awh tie ka panue. Khenhaw! sahnin na hringkhai nah patenghai BAWIPA na taran awh nahoehmaw. Ka due hnukkhu nah tawng teh hothlak na sak awh han rah.
28 So gather all the elders of the tribes and your officials, in order that I can tell them the words [of this song], and request all those who are in heaven and on the earth to be witnesses to testify against these people.
Nangmae miphun dawk kacuenaw, kaukkungnaw abuemlah kai koe kamkhueng awh naseh. Hete lawknaw hah ahnimouh koe ka dei pouh vaiteh, kalvan hoi talai ka kaw han.
29 I say that because I know that after I die, the people will become very wicked. They will turn away from doing everything that I have commanded them to do. And in the future, because of all the evil things that they will do, they will cause Yahweh to become angry with them. And he will cause them to experience disasters.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai ka due hnukkhu teh, khoeroe na rawk awh vaiteh, kai ni lawk na thui e lamthung dawk hoi na phen awh han tie hah ka panue. Hmalah toteh BAWIPA hmalah yonnae na sak awh vaiteh, na kut hoi na sak awh e lahoi a lungkhueknae na hroecoe awh dawkvah, nangmouh teh runae hoi na kâhmo awh han telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe.
30 Then, while all the Israeli people listened, Moses/I sang/recited this entire song to them:
Hottelah Mosi ni Isarel maya thainae koe hettelah lawknaw heh apout totouh koung a dei pouh.
