Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words, which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan, in the plain wilderness, over against the Red Sea, between Pharan and Thophel and Laban and Haseroth, where there is very much gold:
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 Eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Cadesbarne.
Mwet uh fahsr ut ke fulan eol Edom ke lusen len singoul sie, Fineol Sinai nu Kadesh Barnea.)
3 In the fortieth year, the eleventh month, the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him to say to 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 that he had slain Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon: and Og king of Basan who abode in Astaroth, and in Edrai,
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. And Moses began to expound the law, and to say:
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 spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have stayed 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 Turn you, and come to the mountain of the Amorrhites, and to the other places that are next to it, the plains and the hills and the vales towards the south, and by the sea shore, the land of the Chanaanites, and of Libanus, as far as the great 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 Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it, concerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it 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 said to you at that time:
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 I alone am not able to bear you: for the Lord your God hath multiplied you, and you are this day as the stars of heaven, for multitude.
LEUM GOD lowos El oru kowos in arulana pus, oana itu inkusrao uh.
11 (The Lord God of your fathers add to this number many thousands, and bless you as he hath spoken.)
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 I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you and your differences.
Tusruktu nga ac mukena aksuwosye alein lowos uh fuka?
13 Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers.
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 Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.
Na kowos tuh insese mu wona in orek ouinge.
15 And I took out of your tribes men wise and honourable, and appointed them rulers, tribunes, and centurions, and officers over fifties, and over tens, who might teach you all things.
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 commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.
“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 There shall be no difference of persons, you shall hear the little as well as the great: neither shall you respect any man’s person, because it is the judgment of God. And if any thing seem hard to you, refer it to me, and I will hear 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 commanded you all things that 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 And departing from Horeb, we passed through the terrible and vast wilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorrhite, as the Lord our God had commanded us. And when we were come into Cadesbarne,
“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 I said to you: You are come to the mountain of the Amorrhite, which the Lord our God will give 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 the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord our God hath spoken to thy fathers: fear not, nor be any way discouraged.
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 all to me, and said: Let us send men who may view the land, and bring us word what way we shall go up, and to what cities we shall go.
“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 because the saying pleased me, I sent of you twelve men, one of every tribe:
“Nga insese nu ke nunak sac, na nga sulela mwet singoul luo, kais sie ke kais sie sruf.
24 Who, when they had set forward and had gone up to the mountains, came as far as the valley of the cluster: and having viewed the land,
Elos som nu infulan eol uh nwe ke elos sun Infahlfal Eshcol, ac irong acn we nukewa.
25 Taking of the fruits thereof, to shew its fertility, they brought them to us, and said: The land is good, which the Lord our God will give 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 would not go up, but being incredulous to the word of the Lord our God,
“A kowos utuk nunak lain ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin, ac kowos srangesr utyak nu in facl sac.
27 You murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and 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 Whither shall we go up? the messengers have terrified our hearts, saying: The multitude is very great, and taller than we: the cities are great, and walled up to the sky, we have seen the sons of the Enacims 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 said to you: Fear not, neither be ye afraid of them:
“Tusruktu nga fahk nu suwos, ‘Nimet sangeng sin mwet ingo.
30 The Lord God, who is your leader, himself will fight for you, as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.
“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 (as thou hast seen) the Lord thy God hath carried thee, as a man is wont to carry his little son, all the way that you have come, until 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 And yet for all this you did not believe the Lord your God,
Tusruktu nga ne fahk ouinge, kowos srakna tia lulalfongi LEUM GOD,
33 Who went before you in the way, and marked out the place, wherein you should pitch your tents, in the night shewing you the way by fire, and in the day by the pillar of a cloud.
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 when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, he was angry and swore, and said:
“LEUM GOD El lohng torkaskas lowos ac kasrkusrakak. Ouinge El fulahk mu,
35 Not one of the men of this wicked generation shall see the good land, which I promised with an oath 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 the son of Jephone: for he shall see it, and to him I will give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath followed the Lord.
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 Neither is his indignation against the people to be wondered at, since the Lord was angry with me also on your account, and said: Neither shalt thou go in thither.
Ke sripowos LEUM GOD El oayapa kasrkusrak sik ac fahk, ‘Moses, kom ac fah tia pac ilyak nu in facl sac.
38 But Josue the son of Nun, thy minister, he shall go in for thee: exhort and encourage him, and he shall divide the land by lot to Israel.
Joshua, wen natul Nun, mwet kasru lom, pa ac kol mwet Israel in eisla facl sac ac muta we. Na kom in akkeyal.’
39 Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in: and to them I will give the land, and they shall 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 return you and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
A funu kowos, forla ac folokla nu yen mwesis ke inkanek nu Meoa Srusra.’
41 And you answered me: We have sinned against the Lord: we will go up and fight, as the Lord our God hath commanded. And when you went ready armed unto the mountain,
“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 The Lord said to me: Say to them: Go not up, and fight not, for I am not with you: lest you fall 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 I spoke, and you hearkened not: but resisting the commandment of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you went up into the mountain.
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 Amorrhite that dwelt in the mountains coming out, and meeting you, chased you, as bees do: and made slaughter of you from Seir as far as Horma.
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 when you returned and wept before the Lord, he heard you not, neither would he yield to; your voice.
Na kowos tuh foloko ac wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD in suk kasru, tusruktu El tiana porongekowos ku lohwot nu suwos.
46 So you abode in Cadesbarne a long time.
“Ouinge, tukun kut tuh muta Kadesh ke sie pacl na loeloes,
