< Deuteronomy 1 >
1 These [are] the words which Moses hath spoken unto all Israel, beyond the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the 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, the way of mount Seir, unto Kadesh-Barnea.
Te vaengah Seir tlang long kah Horeb lamkah Kadeshbarnea he hnin rha hlai at longcaeh hla pueng.
3 And it cometh to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month hath Moses spoken unto the sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him concerning 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 his smiting Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling 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 beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, hath Moses begun to explain this law, saying:
Moab kho kah Jordan rhalvang ah BOEIPA kah olkhueng te Moses loh koe a thuicaih tih,
6 'Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying, Enough to you — of dwelling in this mount;
“Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh Horeb ah a thui tah, 'Hekah tlang ah na om uh khaw rhoeh coeng.
7 turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat;
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; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to 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 'And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you;
Te vaeng tue ah nang mih taengah ka thui vanbangla, “Nangmih khuen ham he kai loh kan na moenih.
10 Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are] to-day as 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 Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to 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 do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?
Tedae nangmih kah laipuei neh hnophueih neh tuituknah te kai loh metlam ka phueih thai eh?
13 Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;
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 answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou hast spoken — to do.
Te vaengah kai te nan doo uh tih, 'Na ol thui te te then, saii ham om,’ na ti uh.
15 'And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, 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 command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren — then ye have judged righteousness between a 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 do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard 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 and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye do.
Te vaeng tue kah nangmih kang uen olka boeih te saii uh.
19 'And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen — the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto 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 'And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us;
Te vaengah nangmih taengah, “Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih taengah m'paek Amori tlang la na pawk uh coeng.
21 see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.
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 come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in;
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 is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a 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 turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy 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 take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to 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 'And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God,
Tedae caeh ham na huem uh pawt dongah na BOEIPA Pathen kah ol te na koek uh.
27 and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah's hating us He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite — 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 going up? our brethren have melted our heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim — we have 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 'And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of them;
Nangmih te, “Amih taengah na sarhing sak boeh, rhih uh boeh,’ ka ti.
30 Jehovah your God, who is going before you — He doth fight for you, according to all that He hath done 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 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto 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 'And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God,
Tedae tekah olka a om lalah nangmih loh BOEIPA na Pathen te na tangnah uh pawh.
33 who is going before you in the way to search out to you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the way in which ye go, and in a 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 Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying,
Nangmih kah olka ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak vaengah a thintoek tih ol a caeng.
35 Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to 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 save Caleb son of Jephunneh — he doth see it, and to him I give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons, because that he hath been fully after Jehovah.
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 'Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake, saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither;
Nangmih kongah kai taengah khaw BOEIPA loh a thintoek tih, 'Nang khaw na kun mahpawh.
38 Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to inherit.
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 infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they 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 and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.
Tedae nangmih te namamih mael uh lamtah carhaek li longpuei kah khosoek te paan uh,’ a ti.
41 'And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we — we go up, and we have fought, according to all that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into 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 and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not 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 'And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into 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 and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite you in Seir — unto 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 'And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given 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 dwell in Kadesh many days, according to the days which ye had dwelt.
Te dongah ni Kadesh kah na om uh te khohnin la khohnin a yet na om uh.
