Olrhaepnah 9

1 Israel nang loh hnatun lah. Nang lakah aka len tih aka tlung khopuei dangka neh vong cak loh vaan duela aka sang namtom rhoek te paan ham neh huul hamla tihnin ah Jordan ke kat laeh.

Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, Israel [God prevails]! You are to pass over the Jordan [Descender] today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,

2 Anakim ca rhoek tah pilnam khaw len tih sang. Te te na ming tih na yaak coeng. Anakim ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah unim aka pai?

a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it said, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”

3 BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang hmai ah a caeh hnin te ming lah. Amih te hmai loh a hlawp vetih a mitmoeng sak ni. Amih te na mikhmuh ah a kunyun sak vetih na huul bitni. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh nang n'uen vanbangla amih te na milh sak banlak bitni.

Know therefore today, that Adonai your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out, and make them perish quickly, as Adonai has spoken to you.

4 BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih te na mikhmuh lamkah a haek vaengah na thinko neh, “Ka duengnah neh he khohmuen pang sak ham BOEIPA loh kai n'khuen,” ti rhoe ti boeh. Tedae he namtom rhoek he a halangnah dongah ni BOEIPA loh nangmih mikhmuh lamkah a haek.

Don’t say in your heart, after Adonai your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, “For my righteousness Adonai has brought me in to possess this land;” because Adonai drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.

5 Na duengnah neh na thinko a dueng dongah amih khohmuen pang ham na caeh moenih. Tedae he namtom rhoek kah halangnah dongah ni BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih te nangmih mikhmuh lamkah a haek tih na pa rhoek Abraham, Isaak, Jakob taengah BOEIPA loh ol a caeng te a thoh.

Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Adonai your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Adonai swore to your fathers, to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter].

6 Te dongah na duengnah neh nang pilnam rhawn cak te khohmuen then pang sak ham BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang m'paek moenih tila ming lah.

Know therefore, that Adonai your God does not give you this good land to possess for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.

7 Khosoek ah BOEIPA na Pathen thin na toek sak uh te hnilh mueh la poek. Egypt kho na nong tak uh hnin lamloh he hmuen na pha uh due BOEIPA aka koek la khoeng na om uh.

Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked Adonai your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Adonai.

8 Horeb ah khaw BOEIPA thin na toek sak uh dongah nangmih mit sak ham duela nangmih taengah BOEIPA loh a thintoek.

Also in Horeb [Desert] you provoked Adonai to wrath, and Adonai was angry with you to destroy you.

9 Lungto cabael rhoi doe hamla tlang la ka luei. Te tah BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah a saii paipi cabael ni. Te vaengah tlang ah khohnin sawmli neh khoyin sawmli buh caak mueh neh tui ok mueh la kho ka sak.

When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which Adonai made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.

10 Hlangping hnin ah BOEIPA loh tlang ah nangmih ham hmai khui lamkah a thui ol te lungto cabael panit dongah Pathen kutdawn loh rhuemtuet la a daek tih BOEIPA amah loh kai taengah m'paek.

Adonai delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which Adonai spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.

11 Khothaih likip neh khoyin likip bawtnah dongah BOEIPA loh paipi cabael la lungto cabael rhoi te kai m'paek.

It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Adonai gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant.

12 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Thoo, he lamloh a loe la suntla laeh. Egypt lamkah nang khuen na pilnam loh poci coeng. Amih taengah longpuei ka uen te vawl nong uh tih amamih ham mueihlawn a saii uh,” a ti.

Adonai said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned aside out of the way which I enjoined them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”

13 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kai m'voek bal tih, “Pilnam he ka sawt vaengah a rhawn khaw mangkhak la aka om pilnam rhoe la he.

Furthermore Adonai spoke to me, saying, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

14 Kamah bueng he om mai lamtah amih te ka mit sak mai eh. A ming te khaw vaan hmui lamloh ka phae mai eh. Nang te tah namtom pilnu neh anih lakah hlangping ngai la kan saii bitni,” a ti.

Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”

15 Te dongah tlang lamloh ka mael tih ka suntlak vaengah tlang te hmai loh a dom coeng. Te vaengah paipi lungpael rhoi te ka kut rhoi dongah ka poem.

So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.

16 Te vaengah nangmih loh BOEIPA kah a uen longpuei lamkah vilvak na nong uh. Vaitoca kah mueihlawn te namamih ham na saii uh tih BOEIPA na Pathen taengah na tholh uh te kak ka hmuh.

I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Adonai your God. You had made yourselves a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly out of the way which Adonai had enjoined you.

17 Te dongah lungpael panit te ka tuuk tih ka kut rhoi dong lamkah ka voeih tih nangmih mikhmuh ah ka rhek sak.

I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

18 Te phoeiah lamhma kah bangla khothaih likip neh khoyin likip BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka bakop tih buh ka ca pawh, tui khaw ka o pawh. Namamih kah tholh cungkuem neh laihmuh la a mikhmuh ah thae na saii uh neh BOEIPA na veet uh.

I fell down before Adonai, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in Adonai’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

19 Nangmih phae ham pataeng BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah a thintoek tih a thintoek neh a kosi te sut ka rhih. Tedae te tue ah BOEIPA loh ka ol koep a hnatun.

I was terrified that because of how angry Adonai was at you, of how heatedly displeased he was, that he would destroy you. But Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· me that time too.

20 Aaron taengah khaw anih phae ham duela BOEIPA loh bahoeng a thintoek. Tedae te vaeng tue ah Aaron ham khaw ka thangthui pah.

Adonai was angry enough with Aaron [Light-bringer] to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron [Light-bringer] also at the same time.

21 Na khoeng na voep na saii uh vaitoca te khaw ka loh tih hmai neh ka hoeh. Te phoeiah laipi bangla a tip hil vuetvuet ka neet tih ka phom. Te phoeiah tlang lamkah aka long soklong ah laipi bangla ka voeih.

I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.

22 Teberah ah khaw, Masah ah khaw, Kiborthhattaavah ah khaw BOEIPA kah thintoek ham koi la khoeng na om uh.

At Taberah, and at Massah [Testing], and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Adonai to wrath.

23 BOEIPA loh nangmih te, “Nangmih kam paek khohmuen te cet uh lamtah pang uh,” a ti. Kadeshbarnea lamkah n'tueih vaengah khaw BOEIPA na Pathen kah ol te na koek uh bal. Amah te na tangnah uh pawt tih a ol te na hnatun uh pawh.

When Adonai sent you from Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant], saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the order of Adonai your God, and you didn’t believe him, nor sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice.

24 Ka ming paek lamloh nangmih he BOEIPA aka koek lam ni khoeng na om uh.

You have been rebellious against Adonai from the day that I knew you.

25 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khothaih likip neh khoyin likip ka bakop te khaw BOEIPA loh nangmih mitmoeng sak ham a thui dongah ni ka bakop.

So I fell down before Adonai the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Adonai had said he would destroy you.

26 Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah ka thangthui tih, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, namah kah boeilennah dongah na lat tih tlungluen kut neh Egypt lamkah na loh na pilnam neh na rho te phae boel mai saw.

I prayed to Adonai, and said, “Lord Adonai, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] with a mighty hand.

27 Na sal rhoek Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob te poek lamtah pilnam kah mangkhak neh tholh halangnah te mael thil boel mai.

Remember your servants, Abraham [Father of a multitude], Isaac [Laughter], and Jacob [Supplanter]. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,

28 Kaimih nang khuen nah khohmuen long tah, “Amih ham a thui pah khohmuen la amih khuen ham te BOEIPA loh coeng thai pawt tih amah kah hmuhuetnah la a om dongah khosoek ah duek sak ham ni amih te a khuen,” ti uh lah ve.

lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because Adonai was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’

29 Tedae amih he na pilnam neh na rho ni. Te dongah ni na thadueng len neh na khuen tih na ban loh a lam thil,” ka ti nah.

Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”
