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 the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain, opposite to Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 Mwet uh fahsr ut ke fulan eol Edom ke lusen len singoul sie, Fineol Sinai nu Kadesh Barnea.)
There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
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 fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had given him in command to 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 smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Ashtaroth [and] at Edrei.
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,
On this side the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to unfold 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.
Jehovah our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have stayed long enough 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 and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and unto all the neighbouring places in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and by the seaside, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, unto 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, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto 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 unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone.
10 LEUM GOD lowos El oru kowos in arulana pus, oana itu inkusrao uh.
Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and behold, ye are this day 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!
Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you as he hath said unto you!
12 Tusruktu nga ac mukena aksuwosye alein lowos uh fuka?
How can I myself alone sustain your wear, and your burden, and your strife?
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.’
Provide you wise and understanding and known men, according to your tribes, that I may make them your chiefs.
14 Na kowos tuh insese mu wona in orek ouinge.
And ye answered me, and said, The thing that thou hast spoken is good [for us] 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 the chiefs of your tribes, wise men and known, and made them chiefs over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers for your tribes.
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 commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and him also that sojourneth 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.’
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment: ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's; and the matter that is too hard for you shall ye bring to me, that I may 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 commanded you at that time all the things that ye should do.
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 Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw, on the way to the mountain of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God had commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
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 unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth us.
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, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
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 ye came near to me all of you, and said, We will send men before us, who shall examine the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and of the cities to which we shall come.
23 “Nga insese nu ke nunak sac, na nga sulela mwet singoul luo, kais sie ke kais sie sruf.
And the matter was good in mine eyes; and I took twelve men of you, one man for 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 into the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
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 of the fruit of the land in their hand, and brought it down unto us, and brought us answer, and said, The land is good that Jehovah our God hath given us.
26 “A kowos utuk nunak lain ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin, ac kowos srangesr utyak nu in facl sac.
But ye would not go up, and rebelled against the word of Jehovah your 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 ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand 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 shall we go up? Our brethren have made our hearts melt, saying, [They are] a people greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
29 “Tusruktu nga fahk nu suwos, ‘Nimet sangeng sin mwet ingo.
And I said unto you, Be not afraid, neither fear 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
Jehovah your God who goeth before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
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 the wilderness where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place.
32 Tusruktu nga ne fahk ouinge, kowos srakna tia lulalfongi LEUM GOD,
But In this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your 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 went in the way before you, to search you out a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 “LEUM GOD El lohng torkaskas lowos ac kasrkusrakak. Ouinge El fulahk mu,
And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, 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.
None among these men, this evil generation, shall in any wise see that good land, which I swore to give unto your 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 Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Jehovah.
37 Ke sripowos LEUM GOD El oayapa kasrkusrak sik ac fahk, ‘Moses, kom ac fah tia pac ilyak nu in facl sac.
Also Jehovah was angry with me on your account, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
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 Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: 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 your little ones, of whom ye said, They shall be a prey, and your children, who this day know neither good nor evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 A funu kowos, forla ac folokla nu yen mwesis ke inkanek nu Meoa Srusra.’
But ye, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of 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 ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God hath commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye would go presumptuously up the hill.
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 Jehovah said to me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten 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 unto you, but ye would not hear, and ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah, and acted presumptuously, and went up the hill.
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 that dwelt on that hill came out against you, and chased you, like as bees do, and cut you in pieces in Seir, as far as Hormah.
45 Na kowos tuh foloko ac wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD in suk kasru, tusruktu El tiana porongekowos ku lohwot nu suwos.
And ye returned and wept before Jehovah, but Jehovah would not listen to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 “Ouinge, tukun kut tuh muta Kadesh ke sie pacl na loeloes,
And ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there].
