Deuteronomy 1

1 Pa inge kas lal Moses nu sin mwet Israel ke pacl se elos oasr yen mwesis, kutulap in Infacl Jordan. Elos muta ke Infahlfal lun Jordan tulanang acn Suph, inmasrlon siti Paran ac siti Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, ac Dizahab. (

These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.

2 Mwet uh fahsr ut ke fulan eol Edom ke lusen len singoul sie, Fineol Sinai nu Kadesh Barnea.)

[It is] a journey of eleven days from Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.

3 Ke len se emeet in malem aksingoul sie ke yac akangngaul tukun elos illa liki acn Egypt, Moses el fahkang nu sin mwet uh ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sapkin elan fahk nu selos.

And it came to pass in the forties year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:

4 Ma se inge sikyak tukun LEUM GOD El kutangulla Tokosra Sihon lun mwet Amor su leumi siti Heshbon, ac Tokosra Og lun Bashan su leumi siti Ashtaroth ac Edrei.

after he had struck Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain;

5 Mwet uh srakna muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan in facl sin mwet Moab ke Moses el mutawauk in aketeya ac luti ke ma sap lun God. El fahk,

beyond Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,

6 “Ke kut srakna muta ke Eol Sinai, LEUM GOD lasr El fahk nu sesr, ‘Fal tari muta lowos ke eol soko inge.

The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have lived [so long] in this mountain.

7 Tuleya lohm nuknuk suwos an ac mukuiyak. Fahsr nu infulan eol lun mwet Amor ac nu ke acn nukewa ma raunela — nu Infahlfal Jordan, nu infulan eol uh ac acn tupasrpasr uh, nu ke acn ma oan layen eir, ac nu ke weacn Meoa Mediterranean. Fahsr nu in facl Canaan ac alukeot pac Eol Lebanon, som na nwe ke Infacl lulap Euphrates.

Turn you and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

8 Acn inge nukewa pa nga, LEUM GOD, wulela kac in sang nu sin papa matu tomowos: Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob, ac nu sin fwilin tulik natulos. Fahla ac eis lowos.’”

Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.

9 Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Ke kut srakna muta Eol Sinai nga tuh fahk nu suwos, ‘Arulana upala nu sik in kol u lulap se inge. Nga tia ku in mukena oru.

And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.

10 LEUM GOD lowos El oru kowos in arulana pus, oana itu inkusrao uh.

The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are today as the stars of heaven for multitude.

11 Lela LEUM GOD lun papa matu tomowos Elan akpusye kowos pacl tausin yohk liki inge, ac akinsewowoye kowos, oana ke El tuh wulela kac!

The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.

12 Tusruktu nga ac mukena aksuwosye alein lowos uh fuka?

How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?

13 Sulela kutu mwet lalmwetmet, mwet etauk ac mwet pah, liki kais sie sruf lowos, ac nga ac fah oru tuh elos in mwet kol lowos.’

Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.

14 Na kowos tuh insese mu wona in orek ouinge.

And you answered me and said, The thing which you have told us [is] good to do.

15 Ke ma inge nga eis mwet lalmwetmet ac pah ma kowos tuh sulela in sruf lowos uh, ac nga oru tuh elos in mwet kol lowos. Kutu selos leum fin tausin, kutu leum fin foko, kutu fin lumngaul, ac kutu fin singoul. Nga oayapa srisrngiya kutu mwet pwapa saya in sruf nukewa.

So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.

16 “In pacl sac nga tuh fahk nu selos, ‘Porongo alein ma ac sikyak inmasrlon mwet lowos. Oru nununku lowos ke alein inge nukewa in suwohs, finne ma sin mwet lowos sifacna, ku ma sin mwetsac su muta inmasrlowos.

And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.

17 Nimet wiwi mwet ke wotela lowos an. Kowos in nununku mwet nukewa oana sie ac nimet suk lah su. Nimet tupwek sin kutena mwet, mweyen ma kowos wotela uh ma sin God me. Fin oasr alein upala nu suwos, use nu yuruk ac nga fah wotela.’

You shall not have respect to persons in judgement, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgement is God's; and whatever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.

18 In pacl sacn pacna, nga tuh sot nu suwos kas in luti nu ke ma nukewa saya ma kowos in oru.

And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which you shall perform.

19 “Kut orala ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sesr. Kut som liki Eol Sinai ac fahsr sasla yen mwesis na lulap sac su oasr mwe aksangeng puspis we, ke kut ut ke inkanek ke fulan eol lun mwet Amor. Na ke kut sun acn Kadesh Barnea,

And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.

20 nga tuh fahk nu suwos, “Kowos sun tari fulan eol sin mwet Amor, su LEUM GOD lasr El ase nu sesr.

And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:

21 Liye, LEUM GOD lowos El asot facl se inge lowos. Utyak oakikowosi we, oana LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumasr El wulela kac. Nikmet sangeng ku alolo.’

behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.

22 “A kowos tuku nu yuruk ac fahk, ‘Wona kut in supwala kutu mukul ah in som meet liki kut in kalngei acn sac, elos in mau fahk nu sesr lah siti fuka ingo, ac pia inkanek fal kut in ut we.’

And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.

23 “Nga insese nu ke nunak sac, na nga sulela mwet singoul luo, kais sie ke kais sie sruf.

And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe.

24 Elos som nu infulan eol uh nwe ke elos sun Infahlfal Eshcol, ac irong acn we nukewa.

And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it.

25 Elos foloko us kutu fokinsak ma elos konauk we, ac fahkak lah facl se su LEUM GOD lasr El ase in sesr ingo arulana wo fohk we.

And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.

26 “A kowos utuk nunak lain ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin, ac kowos srangesr utyak nu in facl sac.

Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.

27 Kowos torkaskas in lohm nuknuk suwos ac fahk, ‘LEUM GOD El srungakut. El uskutme liki acn Egypt in tuh eiskutyang nu inpoun mwet Amor inge, elos in unikuti.

And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.

28 Efu ku kut in som nu we? Kut sangeng. Mwet ma kut supwala nu ingo fahk nu sesr lah mwet we elos arulana ku ac loes liki kut, oayapa pot in siti ma elos muta we uh arulana fulat nwe lucng. Elos liye pac mwet na yohk pisa we!’

Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.

29 “Tusruktu nga fahk nu suwos, ‘Nimet sangeng sin mwet ingo.

And I said to you, Fear not, neither be you afraid of them;

30 “LEUM GOD lowos El ac fah kol kowos, ac El ac fah mweun keiwos, oana ke kowos liye ke El tuh oru in facl Egypt

the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt;

31 ac yen mwesis. Kowos liye na lah fuka El uskowosme ac karingin kowos nwe ke kowos sun acn se inge, oana ke sie papa el kafisak wen natul.’

and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which you have gone until you came to this place.

32 Tusruktu nga ne fahk ouinge, kowos srakna tia lulalfongi LEUM GOD,

And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God,

33 El ne fahsr meet liki kowos in pacl nukewa in suk acn ma kowos ac aktuktuk we. In akkalemye innek lowos, El fahsr meet liki kowos in sie sru in e ke fong, ac in sie sru in pukunyeng ke len.

who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in fire by night, showing you the way by which you go, and a cloud by day.

34 “LEUM GOD El lohng torkaskas lowos ac kasrkusrakak. Ouinge El fulahk mu,

And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,

35 ‘Wangin sie suwos ke fwil koluk se inge ac fah ilyak nu in facl se ma wo fohk we su nga tuh wulela in sang nu sin papa matu tomowos.

Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,

36 Caleb, wen natul Jephunneh, mukena ac fah utyak nu we. El srakna inse pwaye nu sik, ac nga fah sang acn ma el kalngeyuk we nu sel, ac nu sin fwilin tulik natul.’

except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.

37 Ke sripowos LEUM GOD El oayapa kasrkusrak sik ac fahk, ‘Moses, kom ac fah tia pac ilyak nu in facl sac.

And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein.

38 Joshua, wen natul Nun, mwet kasru lom, pa ac kol mwet Israel in eisla facl sac ac muta we. Na kom in akkeyal.’

Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; do you strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 “LEUM GOD El fahk nu sesr nukewa, ‘Tulik nutuwos, su srakna srikla in etu inmasrlon ma wo ac ma koluk, elos pa ac utyak nu in facl sac — tulik ma kowos tuh fahk mu ac sruhu sin mwet lokoalok lowos. Nga fah sang facl sac nu selos, ac elos fah eisla ac muta fac.

And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.

40 A funu kowos, forla ac folokla nu yen mwesis ke inkanek nu Meoa Srusra.’

And you turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.

41 “Na kowos topuk ac fahk nu sik, ‘Moses, kut orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD. Tusruktu inge kut ac som mweun, in oana ke LEUM GOD lasr El sapkin.’ Na kais sie suwos tuh akola in mweun, ac nunku mu ac fisrasr in utyak eisla fulan eol uh.

And you answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, you went up to the mountain.

42 “Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Fahk nu selos elos in tia som mweun, mweyen nga ac tia welulos, ac mwet lokoalok lalos ac kutangulosla!’

And the Lord said to me, Tell them, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight, for I am not with you; thus shall you not be destroyed before your enemies.

43 Nga tuh fahk nu suwos ma LEUM GOD El fahk, a kowos tiana lungse lohng. Kowos utuk nunak lainul, ac ke nunak keke lowos kowos utyak na nu infulan eol uh.

And I spoke to you, and you did not listen to me; and you transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and you forced your way and went up into the mountain.

44 Na mwet Amor su muta infulan eol uh elos ilme lain kowos oana un loang in eir uh. Elos ukwe kowos na nwe Hormah, ac kutangkowosla infulan eol Edom.

And the Amorite who lived in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.

45 Na kowos tuh foloko ac wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD in suk kasru, tusruktu El tiana porongekowos ku lohwot nu suwos.

And you sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord listened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.

46 “Ouinge, tukun kut tuh muta Kadesh ke sie pacl na loeloes,

And you lived in Cades many days, as many days as you lived [there].
