“Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
2 Keiman nangho jah ding’a ka sei hi goju bang jeng hen, chule ka thusei jong daitwi bang in kai jeng hen, hampa lah gotwi nel bang in kai hen, hamhing lah a gotwiju bang in hung hen, ati.
I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
3 Ajeh chu keiman Pakai min ka sam jal jeng in, O Pathen alen tangeiye, tin sam cheh uhen!
I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
4 Pathen hi songpi ahin, athilbol achamkim tangeiye. Ajeh chu alamlhah aboncha thudih jeng ahin, temmona imacha umlou leh kitahna dim jeng ahin, a kitah le adihna jeng ahi.
He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.

“But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].

You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
7 Nikho masa lai chu geldoh in, kum masa laiya khang tamtah jong chu geldoh in, napa chu kidoh un aman nahil chen soh kei diu, na upate hou dong leu chun ama hon nahil diu ahi.
“Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
8 Hatchungnung pen in nampi goulo ahop peh chun, Aman mihem chate alheng khen soh keiyin. Israel mite atam leh alhom dungjuiyin gamgi anasat khen pehsoh keiyin ahi.
When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
9 Ajeh chu Pakai chan chu amite chan ding ahin, Jacob hi ama chan ding hichu agoulo ding mong ahi.
But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
10 Jacob chu gamthip laiya akimu in, gam mang thim lah a ki mudoh ahi. Pakaiyin amahi aveng tup jing in, khohsahna anei jing in, hiti chun amitmu jenga khohsahna lhingsel aneiyin ahi.
“He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
11 Muvanlai in abu avil jinga, abu sunga anoute avet lhih jing bang in ave lhih jing in ahi. Jacob hi kolchah jing ding in alhaving ajah dohjin, alhaving’a Jacob hi apo le jin ahi.
[Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
12 Pakai ama tah in ahin pui len, Jacob in aki voppi chu pathen dang ahipoi.
Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
13 Pakaiyin ama chu leiset chung mun sang lai laiya atousah jin, aman jong lhosohga akilo jin ane jin ahi. Songpia kon in khoiju achepsah jin, meituh song akon in jong thaotwi apot dohsah jin ahi.
“[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
14 Bonghon lah akon in bongnoi apen, kelngoi hon lah akon in noitwi apejin, kelngoite ahin kelngoi chalte abonchan thaotwi in avah va jin, Bashan phaichama bonghon leh kelchan avah jin ahi. Suhlou chang leh lengpitwi chu nadon jin ahi.
The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.

“The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
16 Hetphah lou pathen kin abol jeh uchun asu lung hang tauvin, chondan thet umtah tah abol'un, Pakai chu aphin lunghang tauve.
So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
17 Pathen hilou thilha ho henga kilhaina asem uvin, imatih chana ahet phah lou-u pathen lim semthu, pathen lim kisem thu thahho, hitobang ho chu napu napate hon jong ana het khah lou hel ahi.
They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
18 Nangman nasempa songpi chu nagel jing jeng pon, nahingpa Pathen hi nasumil tan ahi.
They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
19 Pakaiyin athilbol-u ijakai amu chet phat in akidah lheh jeng tan, achapate, acha nuteuvin aphin lung hang gam tauvin ahi.
“When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
20 Chuin Pakaiyin aseijin, keiman hiche mihemte akona kamai kasel mang ding, akhonna geiya itobang tauvem ti ka vet lhih jing ding, amaho hi abonchauva khanglam vaitah ahiuvin, asung jeng uva jong tahsanna bei ahi.
He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
21 Hiche mite hohin Pathen hi lou achombeh pathen kinbol in apang tauvin, keima ei hepha tapouvin, milim doi asem hou jeh in keima kalung ahansah tauvin, ajeh chu keiman mihem to tethei lou ho kaphin lunghang’a achung'uva ka thangtom sah ding, nam lah a angolpente ka phin lunghang peh ding ahiuve.
They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
22 Keima kalung ahana konin mei ahung kong doh jeng in, hiche meichun noimi gamchan akichai theiyin, leiset leh achunga thil jouse jong akichai hel soh jeng tan, molsang vum jouse jong meiyin akachai soh tan ahi. (Sheol h7585)
I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Hiche mite chunga hi thilse simjou lou kasit dimset jeng ding, achung'uva thalpi chang kakap ding ahi.
I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.

They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
25 Chule polama chemjam hem kalap sah ding, insung jeng ajong tijatna jeng lhung ding, nungah—gollhangho aboncha thigam ding, nao noichep leh pasal sam kangsa jeng jong atha gamset ding ahi.
Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
26 Keiman hitia hi ka seiya, gam jousea ka thejal soh hel ding, amaho geldohna bei hel ta ding ahi.
I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
27 Hiche melmate kiletsahna hi kagin lou ham? Amelmate hou gilkel nan hinpha khante, ahilou jong leh hitia hi asei diu, ikhut thahat uvin gal ei josah tauvin, thil hichengse hi Pakaiyin eibol peh uva ahi oi, tia asei diu ahi.
But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
28 Ajeh chu amaho hi lunggel beiya hinkho mang nam ahiuvin, alungthim sung uva jong hetkhenna ima umlou ahiye.
You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
29 Hetkhenna nei hileu hitobang hi ahetthem diu, kho nung chana ato diu thil jong ahet khen thei diu ahi.
If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
30 Mikhat chun mi sang khat chu adeljam thei pon, mini seh in jong mihem sangsom adeljam thei pon ahi.
[You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
31 Ajeh chu amaho songpi chu eiho songpi tobang ahi pon, imelma teu hi amaho leh amaho kah a thutan'a pang jeng ahiuve.
Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
32 Amaho lengpigui hi Sadom akona hung jam lut ahin, Gomorrah loujao akona hung jamdoh ahi. Hiche lengpiga ho chu thina thei jing ahin, agaboh jouse jong akha ngen ahi.
Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
33 Amaho lengpitwi chu gulgu jeng ahin, aboncha gulsegu phalou ngen jeng ahi.
the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
34 Hichengse keima koma kikhola ahipon, nathil khol khomna in muna chu mohor kinam khuma hilou ham?
[“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
35 Phulah leh lethuhna kiti hi ania keiya ahi. Ajeh chu keng aki lhonal uva, hamsetna ato na diu ahung nai tan ahileh, hichete manthahna chu hetphah louva hung lhung jeng ding ahi.
I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
36 Ajeh chu Pakaiyin amite suhdihna anei ding, alhachate chunga jong lainatna ahin nei thei ding ahi. Athahat nau aboncha kichai tading, sohchanga ahin ipi hijong leh abeisoh tai, ti amuchet diu ahi.
“But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
37 Chuteng aman hiti ahi asei ding, hichete pathen limsem thu hoiya um hitam, akisel nau songpi hoiya um hitam, tia asei diu ahi.
Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
38 Koiyin hiche teho kilhaina sathao aneh a, lengpitwi don dinga kikoi jong koipen in adon hitam? Hitobang pathen limsem thu hochu hung uvintin, nathoh gimnauva kon in nahung pan pitao hen, ati.
You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
39 Tun neihin vetem un, Pathen kiti chu keima tah hi kahin, keima tailou pathen dang aum pon, keima tah in mihem ka that jin, hin jong ka hinsah kitjin ahi. Kam'a vojin, ka sudam kit jitai, kei khut a kona eichulha jou ding koima dang aum pon ahi.
“But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
40 Ajeh chu keiman vanlam kasang in, atonsot tonsot'a hing jing ka hi jeh in hiti chun ka seiyin ahi.
I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
41 Ka chemjam ka kinol hem teng ka khut a kona thutanna ka neiyin ahi. Keima eidou chan chunga phulahna ka lhunsah ding, keima eithette chunga lethuhna ka lhunsah ding ahi.
that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
42 Kathalpi chang jouse thisan a ka dekot ding, ka chemjam jeng in jong tahsa jeng asat gamhel ding, akithatsa mihemho thisan, sohchanna gal hinga kikai ho, melma samsao tah tah ho lu ka tansah jin ahi.
I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
43 Vo namtin vaipite jouse, vahchoi un amiten, ajeh chu Pakaiyin alhachaa pangte thisan phu chu alatan ahi. Ama doute chunga phu alan, amite ding mong monga gam sung hi asuh theng ahi.
“You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
44 Chuin Mose chu Nun chapa Joshua toh ahung kilhon in, Mose ahin Joshua ahin ahi lhon in Israel mite jouse henga la thu kisei chu ana beng uvah ajah cheh na diuvin asei peh sohkeiyin ahi.
Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
45 Mose’n thu chu jat chu Israel mite jouse henga aseipeh soh keiyin ahi.
When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
46 Mose’n miho jouse henga hiti hin aseiyin. Tunia keiman naheng uva thu hijat ka seipeh chengse hi na lungthim cheh uvah koi soh keiyun, hichu nung teng nachate hou henga naseipeh thei diu, chuteng amahon jong hiche danthu a kisei doh jouse hi aboldoh tei na diuva ching thei tah a um ding ahiuve.
Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
47 Hiche hi nang ho jouse dinga thasetna ding ahipon, nahin theina diujoh ahi. Hichea kona nagal kai nadiu Jordan gal gamsunga khu nahin khou sot ding ahi, tin aheng uvah aseipeh e.
These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
48 Chuni ma ma chun Pakaiyin, Mose jah a hiti hin asei peh in ahi.
On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
49 Jericho toh kigalsai, Moab gamsunga, Nebo molsang, Abarim molsang kiti lai akhun kaldoh in, hiche muna kon khun keiman Israel mite chenna dinga kapehna gamsung, Canaan gamsung khu nagavet ding ahi, ati.
“Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
50 Hiche nakal touna molsang chunga khu nahung thiden ding, namite hotoh nahung kigop khom ding ahi. Hor molsang chunga nasopipa Aaron athia amite toh akigop khom banga nangma jong nachuti ding ahi, ati.
You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
51 Ajeh chu Zin gamthip noi, Meribath-Kadesh tui phunga Israel mite lailungtah ah keima thu napal keh in, hiche muna chun Israel mite lah keima hi atheng in nei bol tapon ahi.
You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
52 Hijeh achu nangman namasang lama hiche gamsung khu namit a namu bepding, ahinlah keiman Israel mite kapehna gamsung vang nachutlut thei lou ding ahitai.
[When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
