< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 These [are] the words which Moses has spoken to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab.
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. (
2 [It takes] eleven days [to go] from Horeb, the way of Mount Seir, to Kadesh-Barnea.
Mwet uh fahsr ut ke fulan eol Edom ke lusen len singoul sie, Fineol Sinai nu Kadesh Barnea.)
3 And it comes to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, Moses has spoken to the sons of Israel according to all that YHWH has commanded him concerning them,
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.
4 after his striking Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei.
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.
5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses has begun to explain this law, saying,
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,
6 “Our God YHWH has spoken to us in Horeb, saying, For you dwell at this mountain long enough;
“Ke kut srakna muta ke Eol Sinai, LEUM GOD lasr El fahk nu sesr, ‘Fal tari muta lowos ke eol soko inge.
7 turn and journey for yourselves, and go to the mountain of the Amorite, and to all its neighboring 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, as far as the great river, the Euphrates River;
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.
8 see, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
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.’”
9 And I speak to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you by myself;
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.
10 your God YHWH has multiplied you, and behold, today you [are] as the stars of the heavens for multitude;
LEUM GOD lowos El oru kowos in arulana pus, oana itu inkusrao uh.
11 YHWH, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as you [are], one thousand times, and blesses you as He has spoken to you.
Lela LEUM GOD lun papa matu tomowos Elan akpusye kowos pacl tausin yohk liki inge, ac akinsewowoye kowos, oana ke El tuh wulela kac!
12 How do I bear your pressure, and your burden, and your strife by myself?
Tusruktu nga ac mukena aksuwosye alein lowos uh fuka?
13 Provide wise and understanding men for yourselves that are known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;
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.’
14 and you answer me and say, The thing which you have spoken [is] good to do.
Na kowos tuh insese mu wona in orek ouinge.
15 And I take the heads of your tribes, wise men that are known, and I appoint them [as] heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities for your tribes.
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.
16 And I command your judges at that time, saying, Listen between your brothers—then you have judged [in] righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;
“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.
17 you do not discern faces in judgment; you hear the little as well as the great; you are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God’s, and the thing which is too hard for you, you bring near to me, and I have heard it.
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.’
18 And I command you at that time all the things which you do.
In pacl sacn pacna, nga tuh sot nu suwos kas in luti nu ke ma nukewa saya ma kowos in oru.
19 And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which you have seen, the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as our God YHWH has commanded us, and we come to Kadesh-Barnea.
“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,
20 And I say to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorite, which our God YHWH is giving to us;
nga tuh fahk nu suwos, “Kowos sun tari fulan eol sin mwet Amor, su LEUM GOD lasr El ase nu sesr.
21 see, your God YHWH has set the land before you; go up, possess, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not fear, nor be frightened.
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.’
22 And you come near to me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search the land for us, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities to which we come in;
“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.’
23 and the thing is good in my eyes, and I take twelve men from you, one man for the tribe.
“Nga insese nu ke nunak sac, na nga sulela mwet singoul luo, kais sie ke kais sie sruf.
24 And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come to the Valley of Eshcol, and spy it out,
Elos som nu infulan eol uh nwe ke elos sun Infahlfal Eshcol, ac irong acn we nukewa.
25 and they take in their hand from the fruit of the land, and bring [it] down to us, and bring us back word, and say, The land is good which our God YHWH is giving to us.
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.
26 And you have not been willing to go up, and you provoke the mouth of your God YHWH,
“A kowos utuk nunak lain ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin, ac kowos srangesr utyak nu in facl sac.
27 and murmur in your tents, and say, In YHWH’s hating us He has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite—to destroy us;
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.
28 to where are we going up? Our brothers have melted our heart, saying, [The] people [are] greater and taller than we; [the] cities [are] great and fortified up to the heavens, and we have also seen sons of Anakim there.
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!’
29 And I say to you, Do not be terrified, nor be afraid of them;
“Tusruktu nga fahk nu suwos, ‘Nimet sangeng sin mwet ingo.
30 your God YHWH, who is going before you—He fights for you, according to all that He has done with you in Egypt before your eyes,
“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
31 and in the wilderness where you have seen that your God YHWH has carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have gone until your coming to this place.
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.’
32 And in this thing you are not steadfast in your God YHWH,
Tusruktu nga ne fahk ouinge, kowos srakna tia lulalfongi LEUM GOD,
33 who is going before you in the way to search out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to show you in the way in which you go, and in a cloud by day.
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.
34 And YHWH hears the voice of your words, and is angry, and swears, saying,
“LEUM GOD El lohng torkaskas lowos ac kasrkusrakak. Ouinge El fulahk mu,
35 Not one of these men of this evil generation sees the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,
‘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.
36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh—he sees it, and to him I give the land on which he has trodden, and to his sons, because that he has been fully after YHWH.
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.’
37 Moreover, YHWH has been angry with me for your sake, saying, Indeed, you do not go in there;
Ke sripowos LEUM GOD El oayapa kasrkusrak sik ac fahk, ‘Moses, kom ac fah tia pac ilyak nu in facl sac.
38 Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before you, he goes in there; strengthen him, for he causes Israel to inherit [it].
Joshua, wen natul Nun, mwet kasru lom, pa ac kol mwet Israel in eisla facl sac ac muta we. Na kom in akkeyal.’
39 And your infants, of whom you have said, They are for a prey, and your sons who today have not known good and evil, they go in there, and I give it to them, and they possess it;
“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.
40 but you, turn and journey for yourselves toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.
A funu kowos, forla ac folokla nu yen mwesis ke inkanek nu Meoa Srusra.’
41 And you answer and say to me, We have sinned against YHWH; we go up and we have fought, according to all that which our God YHWH has commanded us; and you each gird on his weapons of war, and you are ready to go up into the hill-country;
“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.
42 and YHWH says to me, Say to them, You do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and you are not struck before your enemies.
“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!’
43 And I speak to you, and you have not listened, and provoke the mouth of YHWH, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;
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.
44 and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country comes out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and strike you in Seir, even to Hormah.
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.
45 And you return and weep before YHWH, and YHWH has not listened to your voice, nor has He given ear to you;
Na kowos tuh foloko ac wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD in suk kasru, tusruktu El tiana porongekowos ku lohwot nu suwos.
46 and you dwell in Kadesh [for] many days, according to the days which you had dwelt.”
“Ouinge, tukun kut tuh muta Kadesh ke sie pacl na loeloes,
