Deuteronomio 1

1 Dagitoy dagiti sasao nga insao ni Moises kadagiti amin nga Israel idiay let-ang iti ballasiw ti Jordan, iti patad ti katantanapan ti Jordan a batug ti Suf, iti nagbabaetan ti Paran, Tofel, Laban, Haserot, ken Di Zahab.

In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].

2 Sangapulo ket maysa nga aldaw a panagdaliasat manipud Horeb agingga idiay Kades Barnea no idiay Bantay Seir ti pagnaan.

To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.

3 Napasamak nga iti maika-uppat a pulo a tawen, iti maika-sangapulo ket maysa a bulan, iti umuna nga aldaw ti bulan, a nagsao ni Moises kadagiti tattao ti Israel, ket imbagana kadakuada dagiti amin nga imbilin ni Yahweh kenkuana maipapan kadakuada.

Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.

4 Daytoy ket kalpasan a rinaut ni Yahweh ni Sihon nga ari dagiti Amorreo, a nagnaed idiay Hesbon, ken ni Og nga ari ti Basan, a nagnaed idiay Astarot, idiay Edrei.

This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].

5 Iti ballasiw ti Jordan, idiay daga ti Moab, inrugi nga inwaragawag ni Moises dagitoy a bilbilin, a kunkunana,

Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:

6 “Nagsao kadatayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo idiay Horeb a kunkunana, 'Nabayag unayen ti panagnaedyo iti daytoy a katurturodan a pagilian.

“Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.

7 Agrubbuatkayo ket agdaliasatkayo a mapan iti katurturodan a pagilian dagiti Amorreo ken kadagiti amin a lugar nga asideg sadiay kadagiti patad ti katantanapan ti Karayan Jordan, idiay katurturodan a pagilian, idiay nababa a paset ti daga, idiay Negev ken iti igid ti baybay —ti daga dagiti Cananeo, ken idiay Lebanon agingga iti dakkel a karayan ti Eufrates.

So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.

8 Kitaenyo, insaganak ti daga iti sangoananyo; serken ken tagikuaenyo ti daga nga insapata ni Yahweh kadagiti ammayo— kenni Abraham, kenni Isaac, ken kenni Jacob — nga itedna kadakuada ken kadagiti sumarsaruno a kaputotanda.'

Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”

9 Nagsaoak kadakayo iti dayta a tiempo a kunkunak, “Saankayo a kabaelan nga awiten nga agmaymaysa.”

Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.

10 Pinaadunakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket adtoy, kaslakayo itan kadagiti bituen idiay langit iti kinaaduyo.

Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.

11 Ni Yahweh, ti Dios dagiti ammayo, paaduenna koma iti maminribu ti kaaduyo, ken bendisionannakayo, kas inkarina kadakayo!

And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.

12 Ngem kasanok a bagkaten nga agmaymaysa dagiti awityo, dagiti dadagsenyo, ken dagiti pagriririanyo?

But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.

13 Mangalakayo kadagiti masirib a lallaki, mannakaawat a lallaki, ken lallaki a nasayaat ti pakasarsaritaanna, iti tunggal tribu, ket pagbalinek ida a mangidaulo kadakayo.'

So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’

14 Simmungbatkayo kaniak ket kinunayo, 'Nasayaat nga aramidenmi ti banag nga imbagam.'

Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’

15 Innalak ngarud dagiti mangidadaulo dagiti tribuyo, dagiti masirib a lallaki, ken lallaki a nasayaat ti pakasarsaritaanna, ket pinagbalinko ida a mangidadaulo kadakayo, kapitan ti rinibu, kapitan ti ginasut, kapitan ti saglilimapulo, kapitan ti sagsasangapulo, ken dagiti opisyales, iti tunggal tribu.

So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.

16 Binilinko dagiti ukomyo iti dayta a tiempo a kunkunak, 'Denggenyo dagiti pagriririan iti nagbaetan dagiti kakabsatyo, ken mangukomkayo a sililinteg iti nagbaetan ti maysa a tao ken iti kabsatna, ken iti ganggannaet a kaduana.

I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.

17 Saankayo a mangipakita iti panangidumduma iti siasinoman iti maysa a riri; agpada a denggenyo dagiti nakurapay ken babaknang. Masapul a saankayo nga agbuteng iti rupa ti tao, ta kukua ti Dios ti panangukom. Iyegyo kaniak dagiti pagriririan a narigat unay para kadakayo ket denggekto dagitoy.'

You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’

18 Imbilinko kadakayo iti dayta a tiempo dagiti amin a banbanag a nasken nga aramidenyo.

At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”

19 Pimmanawtayo idiay Horeb ket linasattayo amin dagita a dadakkel ken nakabutbuteng a let-ang a nakitayo, iti dalantayo a mapan iti katurturodan a pagilian dagiti Amorreo, kas imbilin kadatayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo; ket dimtengtayo idiay Kades Barnea.

“Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.

20 Kinunak kadakayo, “Nadanonyon ti katurturodan a pagilian dagiti Amorreo, nga it-ited kadatayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo.

I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.

21 Adtoy, insaganan ni Yahweh a Diosyo ti daga iti sangoananyo; sumang-atkayo ket tagikuaenyo a kas insao ni Yahweh kadakayo, ti Dios dagiti ammayo; saankayo nga agbuteng, wenno maupay.'

Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’

22 Immay kaniak ti tunggal maysa kadakayo ket kinunayo, “Mangibaontayo kadagiti lallaki nga umuna kadatayo, tapno wanawananda ti daga para kadatayo, ket pakaammoandatayo maipanggep iti pamay-antayo a mangraut, ken maipapan kadagiti siudad a danonentayo.'

But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’

23 Naay-ayoak unay iti dayta a banag; nangalaak iti sangapulo ket dua a lallaki kadakayo, maysa a lalaki iti tunggal tribu.

I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.

24 Nagrubbuatda ket simmang-atda idiay katurturodan a pagilian, dimtengda iti tanap ti Escol, ket sinawarda daytoy.

They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.

25 Nangalada kadagiti napataud ti daga ket insalogda dagitoy nga inyeg kadatayo. Impakaammoda pay kadatayo a kinunada, 'Nasayaat ti daga nga it-ited kadatayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo.'

They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”

26 Ngem nagkedkedkayo a rimmaut ket sinukiryo ketdi ti bilin ni Yahweh a Diosyo.

“But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.

27 Nagtatanabutobkayo kadagiti uneg ti toldayo ket kinunayo, “Daytoy ket gapu ta kaguranatayo ni Yahweh isu nga inruarnatayo iti daga ti Egipto tapno parmekennatayo babaen iti bileg dagiti Amorreo, ken tapno dadaelennatayo.

Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.

28 Papanantayo itan? Kimmapuy ti pakinakemtayo gapu kadagiti kakabsattayo nga agkunkuna, “Dakdakkel ken nataytayag dagitoy a lallaki ngem kadatayo; nalawa ti siudadda ken nasarikedkedan agingga kadagiti langit; maysa pay, nakitami sadiay dagiti annak a lalaki ni Anak.'

(Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’

29 Ket kinunak kadakayo, “Saankayo nga agbuteng, wenno mabuteng kadakuada.

Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!

30 Ni Yahweh a Diosyo a kanayon nga umun-una kadakayo, makirangetto para kadakayo, kas met kadagiti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna idiay Egipto iti imatangyo,

Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt

31 ken kasta met idiay let-ang, a nakaimatanganyo iti panangawit kadakayo ni Yahweh a Diosyo, a kas iti panangawit iti maysa a tao iti anakna, iti sadinoman a napananyo agingga a dimtengkayo iti daytoy a disso.'

and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’

32 Ngem iti daytoy a banag, saankayo a namati kenni Yahweh a Diosyo—

[I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.

33 nga immuna kadakayo iti dalan tapno mangsapul kadagiti disso a pangipatakderanyo kadagiti toldayo, ken iti rabii ket babaen iti apuy, a mangisuro kadakayo iti dalan a rumbeng a papananyo, ken iti aldaw ket babaen iti ulep.

34 Nangngeg ni Yahweh ti timek dagiti sasaoyo ket nakaunget isuna; nagsapata isuna ket kinunana,

Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,

35 'Sigurado nga awanto kadagitoy a lallaki iti daytoy dakes a henerasion ti makakita iti nasayaat a daga nga inkarik nga ited kadagiti kapuonanyo,

‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’

36 malaksid kenni Caleb nga anak a lalaki ni Jephunneh; makitananto daytoy. Itedkonto kenkuana ti daga a nabaddekanna, ken kadagiti annakna, gapu ta naan-anay a nagtungpal isuna kenni Yahweh.'

37 Nakaunget pay ni Yahweh kaniak gapu kadakayo, a kunkunana, 'Saankanto met a makastrek sadiay;

But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.

38 ni Josue nga anak a lalaki ni Nun, nga agtaktakder iti sangoanam a kas adipenmo, makastrekto isuna sadiay; pabilgem isuna, ta idauloannanto ti Israel a mangtawid iti daytoy.

Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’

39 Maysa pay, dagiti babassit nga annakyo, dagiti imbagayo nga agbalinto a biktima, nga awan pannakaammona ita iti nasayaat ken dakes— makapandanto sadiay. Itedkonto kadakuada daytoy ket tagikuaendanto.

Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.

40 Ngem no maipapan kadakayo, agsublikayo ket agdaliasatkayo iti let-ang iti dalan nga agturong iti baybay dagiti Runo.'

But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’

41 Ket simmungbatkayo ket kinunayo kaniak, 'Nagbasolkami kenni Yahweh; sumang-atkami ket makirangetkami, ket surotenmi dagiti amin nga imbilin kadakami ni Yahweh a Diosmi nga aramidenmi.' Insuot ti tunggal maysa kadakayo dagiti armasna a panggubat, ket nakasaganakayo a mangraut iti katurturodan a pagilian.

Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.

42 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, 'Ibagam kadakuada, “Saankayo a rumaut ken saankayo a makiranget, ta saankayonto a kaduaan, ket parmekendakayonto dagiti kabusoryo.'

But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’

43 Nagsaoak kadakayo iti kastoy a wagas, ngem saankayo a dimngeg. Sinukiryo ti bilin ni Yahweh; nakatangtangsitkayo ken rinautyo ti katurturodan a pagilian.

So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.

44 Ngem dagiti Amorreo a nagnanaed iti dayta a katurturodan a pagilian, rimuarda ket kinamkamatdakayo a kasla ayukan, ken pinarmekdakayo idiay Seir, agingga idiay Horma.

Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].

45 Nagsublikayo ket nagsangitkayo iti sangoanan ni Yahweh; ngem saan a dinengngeg ni Yahweh dagiti timekyo, wenno impangagnakayo.

So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].

46 Isu a nagtalinaedkayo idiay Kades iti adu nga al-aldaw, iti amin nga aldaw a nagtalinaedkayo sadiay.

So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
