Deuteronomio 1

1 Ito ang mga salita na sinalita ni Moises sa buong Israel sa dako roon ng Jordan sa ilang, sa Araba na katapat ng Suph, sa pagitan ng Paran, at ng Thopel, at ng Laban, at ng Haseroth, at ng 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 Labing isang araw na lakbayin mula sa Horeb kung dadaan ng bundok ng Seir hanggang sa Cades-barnea.

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 At nangyari nang ikaapat na pung taon, nang ikalabing isang buwan, nang unang araw ng buwan, na nagsalita si Moises sa mga anak ni Israel, tungkol sa lahat na ibinigay sa kaniyang utos ng Panginoon sa kanila;

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 Pagkatapos na kaniyang masaktan si Sehon na hari ng mga Amorrheo, na tumatahan sa Hesbon, at si Og na hari sa Basan, na tumatahan sa Astarot sa 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 Sa dako roon ng Jordan, sa lupain ng Moab, pinasimulan ni Moises na ipinahayag ang kautusang ito, na sinasabi,

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 Ang Panginoon nating Dios ay nagsalita sa atin sa Horeb, na nagsasabi, Kayo'y nakatahan ng malaon sa bundok na ito:

“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 Pumihit kayo, at kayo'y maglakbay, at kayo'y pumaroon sa lupaing maburol ng mga Amorrheo, at sa lahat ng mga dakong malapit, sa Araba, sa lupaing maburol, at sa mababang lupain, at sa Timugan, at sa baybayin ng dagat, sa lupain ng mga Cananeo at sa Lebano, hanggang sa malaking ilog, na ilog 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 Narito, aking inilagay ang lupain sa harap ninyo: inyong pasukin at ariin ang lupain na isinumpa ng Panginoon sa inyong mga magulang, kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob, na ibibigay sa kanila at sa kanilang binhi pagkamatay nila.

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 At ako'y nagsalita sa inyo nang panahong yaon na sinasabi, Hindi ko madadalang magisa kayo:

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 Pinarami kayo ng Panginoon ninyong Dios, at, narito, kayo sa araw na ito ay gaya ng mga bituin sa langit sa karamihan.

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

11 Kayo nawa'y dagdagan ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng inyong mga magulang, ng makalibo pa sa dami ninyo ngayon, at kayo nawa'y pagpalain, na gaya ng ipinangako niya sa inyo!

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 Paanong madadala kong magisa ang inyong ligalig, at ang inyong pasan, at ang inyong pagkakaalitan?

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

13 Kumuha kayo sa inyo ng mga lalaking pantas, at nakakaalam, at kilala, ayon sa inyong mga lipi, at sila'y aking gagawing pangulo sa inyo.

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 At kayo'y sumagot sa akin at nagsabi, Ang bagay na iyong sinalita ay mabuting gawin namin.

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

15 Sa gayo'y kinuha ko sa inyo ang mga pangulo ng inyong mga lipi, na mga taong pantas, at kilala, at akin silang ginawang pangulo sa inyo, na mga punong kawal ng libolibo, at mga punong kawal ng mga daandaan, at mga punong kawal ng mga limangpu-limangpu, at mga punong kawal ng mga sangpu-sangpu, at mga pinuno ayon sa inyong mga lipi.

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 At aking pinagbilinan ang inyong mga hukom nang panahong yaon na sinasabi, Inyong dinggin ang mga usap ng inyong mga kapatid, at inyong hatulan ng matuwid ang tao at ang kaniyang kapatid, at ang taga ibang lupa na kasama niya.

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 Huwag kayong magtatangi ng tao sa kahatulan; inyong didinggin ang maliliit, na gaya ng malaki: huwag kayong matatakot sa mukha ng tao; sapagka't ang kahatulan ay sa Dios: at ang usap na napakahirap sa inyo, ay inyong dadalhin sa akin, at aking didinggin.

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 At aking iniutos sa inyo nang panahong yaon ang lahat ng mga bagay na inyong dapat gagawin.

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

19 At tayo ay naglakbay mula sa Horeb at ating tinahak yaong buong malawak at kakilakilabot na ilang na inyong nakita, sa daang patungo sa lupaing maburol ng mga Amorrheo, na gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon nating Dios sa atin, at tayo'y dumating sa Cades-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 At aking sinabi sa inyo, Inyong narating ang lupaing maburol ng mga Amorrheo na ibinibigay sa atin ng Panginoon nating Dios.

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 Narito, inilalagay ng Panginoon ninyong Dios ang lupain sa harap mo: sampahin mo, ariin mo, na gaya ng sinalita sa iyo ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng iyong mga magulang; huwag kang matakot, ni manglupaypay.

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 At kayo'y lumapit sa akin, bawa't isa sa inyo, at nagsabi, Tayo'y magsugo ng mga lalake sa unahan natin, upang kanilang kilalanin ang lupain para sa atin, at magbigay alam sa atin ng daang ating marapat sampahan, at ng mga bayang ating daratnin.

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 At ang bagay na yaon ay inakala kong magaling: at ako'y kumuha ng labing dalawang lalake sa inyo, na isang lalake sa bawa't lipi.

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

24 At sila'y pumihit at sumampa sa bundok, at dumating hanggang sa libis ng Escol, at kanilang tiniktikan.

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

25 At sila'y nagbitbit ng bunga ng lupain sa kanilang mga kamay, at kanilang ipinanaog sa atin, at sila'y nagdala ng kasagutan at nagsabi, Mabuting lupain ang ibinibigay sa atin ng Panginoon nating Dios.

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 Gayon ma'y hindi kayo umakyat, kundi nanghimagsik kayo laban sa utos ng Panginoon ninyong Dios.

“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 At kayo'y dumaing sa inyong mga tolda, at inyong sinabi, Sapagka't kinapootan tayo ng Panginoon, ay inilabas tayo sa lupain ng Egipto, upang tayo'y ibigay sa kamay ng mga Amorrheo, upang tayo'y lipulin.

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 Saan tayo sasampa? pinapanglupaypay ng ating mga kapatid ang ating puso, na sinasabi, Ang mga tao ay malalaki at matataas kay sa atin; ang mga bayan ay malalaki at nakukutaan ng hanggang sa himpapawid; at bukod dito'y aming nakita roon ang mga anak ng mga Anaceo.

(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 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko sa inyo, Huwag kayong mangilabot ni matakot sa kanila.

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

30 Ang Panginoon ninyong Dios, na nangunguna sa inyo, ay kaniyang ipakikipaglaban kayo, ayon sa lahat ng kaniyang ginawa sa Egipto dahil sa inyo sa harap ng inyong mga mata;

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 At sa ilang, na inyong kinakitaan kung paanong dinala ka ng Panginoon ninyong Dios, na gaya ng pagdadala ng tao sa kaniyang anak, sa buong daang inyong nilakaran hanggang sa dumating kayo sa dakong ito.

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

32 Gayon ma'y sa bagay na ito, ay hindi kayo sumampalataya sa Panginoon ninyong Dios,

[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 Na nagpauna sa inyo sa daan, upang ihanap kayo ng dakong mapagtatayuan ng inyong mga tolda, na nasa apoy pagka gabi, upang ituro sa inyo kung saang daan kayo dadaan, at nasa ulap pagka araw.

34 At narinig ng Panginoon ang tinig ng inyong mga salita, at nag-init, at sumumpa, na nagsasabi,

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

35 Tunay na hindi makikita ng isa man nitong mga taong masamang lahi ang mabuting lupain na aking isinumpang ibigay sa inyong mga magulang,

‘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 Liban si Caleb na anak ni Jephone; at siya ang makakakita; at sa kaniya ko ibibigay ang lupain na kaniyang tinuntungan, at sa kaniyang mga anak: sapagka't siya'y lubos na sumunod sa Panginoon.

37 Ang Panginoon ay nagalit din sa akin, dahil sa inyo, na nagsasabi, Ikaw man ay hindi papasok doon:

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 Si Josue na anak ni Nun, na nakatayo sa harap mo, ay siyang papasok doon: palakasin mo ang kaniyang loob; sapagka't kaniyang ipamamana sa Israel.

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 Bukod dito'y ang inyong mga bata, na inyong sinasabing magiging bihag, at ang inyong mga anak na sa araw na ito ay hindi nakakaalam ng mabuti o ng masama, ay sila ang papasok doon, at sa kanila'y aking ibibigay, at kanilang aariin.

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 Nguni't tungkol sa inyo, ay bumalik kayo, at maglakbay kayo sa ilang sa daang patungo sa Dagat na Mapula.

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

41 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot kayo at sinabi ninyo sa akin, Kami ay nagkasala laban sa Panginoon, kami ay sasampa at lalaban, ayon sa buong iniutos sa amin ng Panginoon naming Dios. At nagsipagsakbat bawa't isa sa inyo ng kanikaniyang sandata na pangdigma, at kayo'y nagmadaling sumampa sa bundok.

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 At sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, Sabihin mo sa kanila, Huwag kayong sumampa, ni lumaban; sapagka't ako'y wala sa inyo; baka kayo'y masugatan sa harap ng inyong mga kaaway.

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 Gayon sinalita ko sa inyo, at hindi ninyo dininig; kundi kayo'y nanghimagsik laban sa utos ng Panginoon, at naghambog at umakyat sa bundok.

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 At ang mga Amorrheo na tumatahan sa bundok na yaon, ay nagsilabas na laban sa inyo, at kayo'y hinabol, na gaya ng ginagawa ng mga pukyutan, at kayo'y tinalo sa Seir, hanggang sa 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 At kayo'y bumalik at umiyak sa harap ng Panginoon; nguni't hindi dininig ng Panginoon ang inyong tinig, ni pinakinggan kayo.

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 Sa gayon, ay natira kayong malaon sa Cades, ayon sa mga araw na inyong itinira roon.

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