Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words which Moses said to all Israel on the far side of Jordan, in the waste land in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran on the one side, and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab on the other.
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 is eleven days' journey from Horeb by 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 Now in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses gave to the children of Israel all the orders which the Lord had given him for 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 he had overcome Sihon, king of the Amorites, ruling in Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, ruling in Ashtaroth, at 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 On the far side of Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses gave the people 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 The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, You have been long enough in this mountain:
“Ke kut srakna muta ke Eol Sinai, LEUM GOD lasr El fahk nu sesr, ‘Fal tari muta lowos ke eol soko inge.
7 Make a move now, and go on your way into the hill-country of the Amorites and the places near it, in the Arabah and the hill-country and in the lowlands and in the South and by the seaside, all the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
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, all the land is before you: go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, 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 At that time I said to you, I am not able to undertake the care of 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 The Lord your God has given you increase, and now you are like the stars of heaven in number.
LEUM GOD lowos El oru kowos in arulana pus, oana itu inkusrao uh.
11 May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times greater in number than you are, and give you his blessing as he has said!
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 is it possible for me by myself to be responsible for you, and undertake the weight of all your troubles and your arguments?
Tusruktu nga ac mukena aksuwosye alein lowos uh fuka?
13 Take for yourselves men who are wise, far-seeing, and respected among you, from your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
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 made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.
Na kowos tuh insese mu wona in orek ouinge.
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men and respected, and made them rulers over you, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers of 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 at that time I gave orders to your judges, saying, Let all questions between your brothers come before you for hearing, and give decisions uprightly between a man and his brother or one from another nation who is with him.
“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 In judging, do not let a man's position have any weight with you; give hearing equally to small and great; have no fear of any man, for it is God who is judge: and any cause in which you are not able to give a decision, you are to put before me and I will give it a hearing.
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 at that time I gave you all the orders which you were to do.
In pacl sacn pacna, nga tuh sot nu suwos kas in luti nu ke ma nukewa saya ma kowos in oru.
19 Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came 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 said to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.
nga tuh fahk nu suwos, “Kowos sun tari fulan eol sin mwet Amor, su LEUM GOD lasr El ase nu sesr.
21 See now, the Lord your God has put the land into your hands: go up and take it, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said to you; have no fear and do not be troubled.
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 came near to me, every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us to go through the land with care and give us an account of the way we are to go and the towns to which we will come.
“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 what you said seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from among you, one from every tribe;
“Nga insese nu ke nunak sac, na nga sulela mwet singoul luo, kais sie ke kais sie sruf.
24 And they went up into the hill-country and came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there.
Elos som nu infulan eol uh nwe ke elos sun Infahlfal Eshcol, ac irong acn we nukewa.
25 And taking in their hands some of the fruit of the land, they came down again to us, and gave us their account, saying, It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving 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 But going against the order of the Lord your God, you would not go up:
“A kowos utuk nunak lain ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin, ac kowos srangesr utyak nu in facl sac.
27 And you made an angry outcry in your tents, and said, In his hate for us the Lord has taken us out of the land of Egypt, to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction.
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 Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts feeble with fear by saying, The people are greater and taller than we are, and the towns are great and walled up to heaven; and more than this, we have seen the sons of the 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 Then I said to you, Have no fear of them.
“Tusruktu nga fahk nu suwos, ‘Nimet sangeng sin mwet ingo.
30 The Lord your God who goes before you will be fighting for you, and will do such wonders as he did for 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 waste land, where you have seen how the Lord was supporting you, as a man does his son, in all your journeying till you came 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 But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,
Tusruktu nga ne fahk ouinge, kowos srakna tia lulalfongi LEUM GOD,
33 Who goes before you on your way, looking for a place where you may put up your tents, in fire by night, lighting up the way you are to 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 the Lord, hearing your words, was angry, and said with an oath,
“LEUM GOD El lohng torkaskas lowos ac kasrkusrakak. Ouinge El fulahk mu,
35 Truly, not one of this evil generation will see that good land which I said I would 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 But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart.
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 And, in addition, the Lord was angry with me because of you, saying, You yourself will not go into it:
Ke sripowos LEUM GOD El oayapa kasrkusrak sik ac fahk, ‘Moses, kom ac fah tia pac ilyak nu in facl sac.
38 Joshua, the son of Nun, your servant, he will go into the land: say to him that he is to be strong, for he will be Israel's guide into their heritage.
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 little ones, who, you said, would come into strange hands, your children, who now have no knowledge of good or evil, they will go into that land, and to them I will give it and it will be theirs.
“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 as for you, go back, journeying into the waste land by the way of the Red Sea.
A funu kowos, forla ac folokla nu yen mwesis ke inkanek nu Meoa Srusra.’
41 Then you said to me, We have done evil against the Lord, we will go up to the attack, as the Lord our God has given us orders. And arming yourselves every one, you made ready to go up without care 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 the Lord said to me, Say to them, Do not go up to the attack; for I am not among you, and you will be overcome by those who are against you.
“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 This I said to you, but you gave no attention and went against the orders of the Lord, and in your pride went 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 Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as 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 came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give 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 So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.
“Ouinge, tukun kut tuh muta Kadesh ke sie pacl na loeloes,
