Deuteronomy 31
1 Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
To pacoengah Mosi mah Israel kaminawk boih khaeah caeh moe, hae loknawk hae a thuih pae.
2 He said to them, “I am one hundred and twenty years old today. I can no more go out and come in. The LORD has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’
Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Kai loe vaihi saning cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto ka oh boeh pongah, nangcae zaehhoih hanah angcoeng thai ai boeh; Angraeng mah doeh kai khaeah, Nang loe hae Jordan vapui nang kat thai mak ai, tiah ang naa boeh.
3 The LORD your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, as the LORD has spoken.
Nangmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to nangcae hma ah caeh ueloe, haeah kaom prae kaminawk to nangmacae hma roe ah na hum pae ueloe, nihcae ih prae to na toep o tih: Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Joshua loe nangcae hma ah caeh tih.
4 The LORD will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when he destroyed them.
Amor kaminawk ih siangpahrang Sihon hoi Og ih, prae nuiah amrohaih phaksak baktih toengah, Angraeng mah to kaminawk nuiah sah toeng tih.
5 The LORD will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
Nihcae to Angraeng mah nangcae khaeah paek ueloe, kang paek ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae nuiah na sah o tih.
6 Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for the LORD your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”
Na thacak o sak ah loe, misahoihaih hoiah om oh; mawn o hmah loe, nihcae to zii o hmah; na Angraeng Sithaw loe nangcae hoi nawnto caeh tih, anih mah na caeh o taak mak ai ueloe, pahnawt sut mak ai, tiah a naa.
7 Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
To pacoengah Mosi mah Joshua to kawk moe, Israel kaminawk boih hma ah, Na thacaksak ah loe, misahoihaih hoiah om ah; nang loe hae kaminawk khaeah paek hanah, Angraeng mah ampanawk khaeah lokkam ih prae thungah, hae kaminawk hae na caeh haih ueloe, nihcae han qawk na toepsak tih.
8 The LORD himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”
Angraeng angmah roe nangcae hmaa ah caeh ueloe, anih na om o thui tih; anih mah na caehtaak mak ai ueloe, pahnawt sut mak ai; zii o hmah loe, palung doeh boeng o sak hmah, tiah a naa.
9 Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and to all the elders of Israel.
Mosi mah hae kaaloknawk tarik pacoengah, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu kami, Levi acaeng, qaimanawk hoi Israel kacoehtanawk khaeah paek.
10 Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of booths,
To pacoengah Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, saning sarihto boeng boeh moe, misong loisakhaih saning, kahni im raenghhaih atue phak naah,
11 when all Israel has come to appear before the LORD your God in the place which he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
Israel kaminawk boih Angraeng angmah qoih ih ahmuen ah, Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah amtueng hanah nang zoh o naah, Israel kaminawk mah thaih o boih hanah, nihcae hma ah hae kaaloknawk hae kroek pae oh.
12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and the foreigners who are within your gates, that they may hear, learn, fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law,
Nongpa, nongpata, nawktanawk hoi na vangpui thungah kaom angvinnawk boih mah thaih o moe, panoek o thai han, na Angraeng Sithaw to zit o moe, hae kaaloknawk hae pazui o thai boih hanah, kaminawk to nawnto amkhuengsak ah;
13 and that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”
to tiah sak nahaeloe kaalok panoek ai kaminawk ih caanawk mah thaih o ueloe, Jordan vapui nang kat o moe, na toep o han ih prae thungah na oh o nathung, na Angraeng Sithaw zithaih to amtuk o tih, tiah a naa.
14 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Na duek han ih atue loe zoi boeh; Joshua to kawk ah loe kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah angzo haih ah, to ah lok ka thuih pae han, tiah a naa. To pongah Mosi hoi Joshua loe angzoh hoi moe, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah a caeh hoi.
15 The LORD appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the Tent’s door.
To naah Angraeng loe kahni imthung ah tamai tung baktiah amtueng; tamai tung loe kahni im thok nuiah angdoet pae.
16 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. This people will rise up and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land where they go to be amongst them, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I have made with them.
To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Khenah, Nang loe nam panawk khaeah nang hak tih boeh; hae kaminawk loe angthawk o ueloe, a caeh o han ih prae thungah kaom kaminawk ih sithawnawk khaeah a takpum zaw o tih; kai to pahnawt o ueloe, nihcae hoi ka sak ih ka lokmaihaih doeh amkhraeng o taak tih.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not amongst us?’
To na niah loe nihcae nuiah palung ka phui moe, nihcae to ka pahnawt sut han; nihcae khae hoi mikhmai ka hawk naah loe, nihcae to amro o tih, nihcae nuiah paroeai sethaih hoi raihaihnawk to pha tih; to naah nihcae mah aicae ih Sithaw loe aicae khaeah om ai boeh pongah na ai maw hae baktih raihaih hae aicae nuiah oh? tiah thui o tih.
18 I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.
Nihcae loe kalah sithawnawk khaeah angqoi o ving moe, a sak o ih zaehaih boih pongah, to na niah loe nihcae khae hoi mikhmai ka hawk ving tangtang han.
19 “Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
To pongah vaihi hae laa hae tarik hoih, Israel kaminawk ih pakha thungah suem paeh loe, amtuksak ah; hae laa loe Israel kaminawk ih misa ah ka ohhaih hnukung ah om tih.
20 For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
Tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae, ampanawk khaeah paek han lokkam ih prae thungah nihcae to ka hoih; nihcae mah zok kamhah ah buh to caak o moe, thawk o hruk naah loe, kai palungphuisak hanah, ka lokkamhaih to amkhraeng o taak ving tih, kalah sithawnawk khaeah angqoi o ueloe, a tok to sah pae o tih.
21 It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what they are doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I promised them.”
Nihcae nuiah paroeai sethaih hoi raihaihnawk phak naah, nihcae ih misa ah ka ohhaih to hae laa mah amtuengsak tih; nihcae ih caanawk mah hae laa hae pahnet o mak ai; ka lokkamhaih prae thungah nihcae ka caeh haih ai naah, vaihi roe nihcae poekhaih to ka panoek pae boeh, tiah a naa.
22 So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
To pongah Mosi mah to na ni roe ah laa to tarik moe, Israel caanawk to patuk.
23 He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them. I will be with you.”
Angraeng mah Nun capa Joshua khaeah, Na thacaksak ah loe, misahoihaih hoiah om ah; nihcae khaeah lokkam ih prae thungah Israel kaminawk to na caeh haih tih; to naah Kai nangcae hoi nawnto ka oh han, tiah a naa.
24 When Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
Mosi mah hae ih kaaloknawk boeng khoek to cabu pongah tarik pacoengah,
25 Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, saying,
Mosi mah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu, Levi acaengnawk khaeah,
26 “Take this scroll of the Torah, and put it by the side of the ark of the LORD your God’s covenant, that it may be there for a witness against you.
hae ih kaalok cabu hae la oh loe, na Angraeng Sithaw lokkamhaih thingkhong taengah suem oh; anih loe to ah nangcae ih misa ah ka ohhaih hnukung ah om tih.
27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against the LORD. How much more after my death?
Nangcae loe lokaek thaih kami hoi palungthah kami ah na oh o, tito ka panoek; khenah, vaihniah nangcae hoi nawnto ka hing nathuem ah mataeng doeh, Angraeng ih lok to na aek o nahaeloe, ka duek pacoeng naah cae loe, kawkruk maw lok na aek o tih?
28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
Na caeng thung ih kacoehtanawk hoi ukkungnawk to ka hma ah amkhuengsak boih ah; nihcae thaih naah hae loknawk hae ka thuih moe, nihcae ih misa ah ka ohhaih panoekkung ah van hoi long to ka kawk han.
29 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn away from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days, because you will do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”
Nangcae loe ka duek pacoengah nam ro o ueloe, kang paek ih loklam to nang qoi o taak tih, tito ka panoek; hnukkhuem niah, Angraeng mikhnuk ah kahoih ai hmuennawk to na sah o ueloe, na ban hoi sak ih hmuennawk mah anih palung na phui o sak pongah, nangcae nuiah amrohaih to pha tih, tiah a naa.
30 Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.
To pacoengah Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah, hae laa loknawk hae takung hoi tadong khoek to thuih pae boih.
