< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 These be the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite to the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Hae lok loe Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth hoi Dihazab vangpui salak, Jordan vapui zaeh ih praezaek, Zuph vangpui hma ih azawn ah, Mosi mah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih ih lok ah oh.
2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
Seir mae lam hoi caeh naah Horeb hoi Kadesh-Barnea karoek to ni hatlaito akra.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
Mosi mah saning qui pali, khrah hatlaito, amtong tangsuekhaih niah, Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih pae han paek ih loknawk boih to thuih pae;
4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
Heshbon vangpui ah kaom, Amor siangpahrang Sihon hoi Edrei prae, Ashtaroth vangpui ah kaom, Bashan siangpahrang Og to hum pacoeng,
5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
Jordan vapui zaeh ih Moab prae ah Mosi mah hae kaalok hae taphong pae;
6 The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, All of you have dwelt long enough in this mount:
aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah Horeb ah aicae khaeah hae tiah thuih; hae mae ah saning sawk parai ah na oh o boeh:
7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
na oh o haih ahmuen hoiah angqoi oh loe, Amor kaminawk ohhaih mae, to mae hoi kanghnai ahmuennawk boih, tangtling ahmuen, mae nui ih ahmuen, azawn ih ahmuen, aloih bang ih prae, tuipui taeng ih ahmuennawk, Kanaan kaminawk ih prae, Lebanon mae hoi kalen parai vapui, Euphrates vapui khoek to caeh oh;
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
khenah, prae loe nangcae hma ah ka suek boeh; caeh oh loe, Angraeng mah nam panawk, Abraham, Issak, Jakob hoi a caanawk khaeah ka paek han, tiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah prae to toep oh, tiah a naa.
9 And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
To nathuem ah, Kaimah buengah loe nangcae ih tok to ka phaw thai laek mak ai, tiah kang thuih o boeh.
10 The LORD your God has multiplied you, and, behold, all of you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae ang pung o sak boeh; khenah, nangcae loe vaihi van ih cakaeh zetto nang pung o boeh.
11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as all of you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!)
Nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae to alet sangto pungsak nasoe loe, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nangcae tahamhoihaih paek nasoe!
12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
Nangcae lokpunghaih, kazit nangcae ih hmuen hoi nangcae lok aekhaih to kawbang maw kaimah buengah ka phaw thai tih?
13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
Palungha kami, panoekhaih tawn kami hoi ahmin amthang kaminawk to nangmacae acaeng thung hoiah qoi oh, nihcae to nangcae ukkung ah kang suek pae han, tiah kang naa o.
14 And all of you answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is good for us to do.
To naah nangcae mah, Sak han nang thuih o ih hmuen loe hoih parai, tiah nang pathim o.
15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
To pongah nangcae acaeng zaehoikung, palungha kaminawk hoi ahmin kamthang kaminawk to ka qoih moe, nangcae zaehoikung, kami sangto zaehoikung, kami cumvaito zaehoikung, kami qui pangato zaehoikung, kami hato zaehoikung tiah kang suek pae o.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
To naah lokcaekkungnawk khaeah, Nam nawkamyanawk ih lok to tahngaih moe, nangmacae hoi nawnto kaom nawkamyanawk hoi angvinnawk nuiah toenghaih hoi lokcaek o hanah ka thuih pae.
17 All of you shall not respect persons in judgment; but all of you shall hear the small as well as the great; all of you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
Lok na caek o naah mikhmai khen o hmah; kalen doeh, kathoeng doeh, kangvan ah lok to tahngai pae oh; kawbaktih kami doeh zii o hmah; lokcaekhaih loe Sithaw ih ni; nangcae han rai parai nahaeloe, kai khaeah na sin oh; kai mah kang tahngaih pae o han.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which all of you should do.
To nathuem ah na sak o han koi hmuennawk to kang thuih o boih boeh.
19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which all of you saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
Aicae loe Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Horeb hoiah a tacawt o moe, Amor kaminawk ih prae hoi kamtueng, kakawk parai moe, zitthok praezaek loklam hoiah a caeh o pacoengah, Kadesh-Barnea ahmuen to a phak o.
20 And I said unto you, All of you are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God does give unto us.
To naah kai mah nangcae khaeah, Aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah aicae han paek ih Amor kaminawk ih prae to a phak o boeh.
21 Behold, the LORD your God has set the land before you: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of your fathers has said unto you; fear not, neither be discouraged.
Khenah, nangcae Angraeng Sithaw mah prae to na hma ah ang suek pae o boeh; nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, caeh oh loe, prae to atoep oh; zii o hmah loe, palung doeh boeng o hmah, tiah kang naa o.
22 And all of you came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
To naah ka taengah nang zoh o boih moe, Prae khet hanah, aicae hma ah kami patoeh si, nihcae mah aicae hanah prae to khen o nasoe loe, naa bang ih loklam ah maw a caeh o moe, naa ih vangpui ah maw a pha o tih, tito nihcae mah na thui o nasoe, tiah nang naa o.
23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
Na thuih o ih lok loe hoih, tiah ka poek; to pongah nangmacae acaeng maeto thung hoi kami maeto, sangqum boih ah hatlai hnetto ka qoih;
24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
nihcae loe amsak o moe, mae nuiah caeh o tahang; Eshkol azawn to a phak o pacoengah, prae to a khet o.
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God does give us.
To prae thung ih thingthai qumponawk to aicae han a sinh o moe, aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih prae loe, hoih parai, tiah lok ang palaem o.
26 Notwithstanding all of you would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
Toe na caeh o tahang ai; na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih lok to na aek o.
27 And all of you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Na oh o haih kahni imthung ah na laisaep o; Angraeng mah aicae hnukma pongah, Amor kaminawk ban ah paek moe, nihcae humsak han ih ni Izip prae thung hoiah aicae hae ang hoih.
28 Where shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
Naa bangah maw a caeh o han boeh? Nawkamyanawk mah, To prae kaminawk loe aicae pongah thacak o moe, sang o kue; vangpuinawk doeh van khoek to kapha sipae hoiah a thungh o; to prae thungah Anak kaminawk oh o, tiah thuih o pongah, kaicae palung ang boeng o sak, tiah na thuih o.
29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
To naah kai mah, Mawn o hmah; nihcae to zii o hmah;
30 The LORD your God which goes before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
nangcae hma ah na Angraeng Sithaw to caeh ueloe, nangcae mikhnuk ah Izip prae ah sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, anih mah nangcae hanah misa na tuh pae tih;
31 And in the wilderness, where you have seen how that the LORD your God bare you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that all of you went, until all of you came into this place.
ampa maeto mah a caa to moek baktih toengah, hae ahmuen karoek to, na caeh o haih praezaek loklam ah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah kawbangah maw ang moek o, tito na hnuk o boeh, to tiah anih mah nangcae han misatuk abom tih, tiah kang thuih o.
32 Yet in this thing all of you did not believe the LORD your God,
Hae tiah oh pacoengah doeh, na Angraeng Sithaw to na tang o ai,
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way all of you should go, and in a cloud by day.
kahni im sak han ih ahmuen to anih mah ang pakrong pae, na caeh o haih loklam to patuek hanah, aqum ah hmaithaw hoiah ang toeh o moe, khodai ah tamai hoiah nangcae hma ah a caeh.
34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
Na thuih o ih loknawk Angraeng mah thaih naah, palungphui moe, lokkamhaih a sak;
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers.
hae ih kasae caanawk loe, nam panawk khaeah paek han lokkam ih kahoih prae to mi mah doeh hnu o mak ai.
36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he has trodden upon, and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.
Jephunneh capa Kaleb khue mah ni, hnu tih; anih loe palungthin boih hoiah Angraeng hnukah bang pongah, khok hoi a cawh ih prae to, angmah hoi a caanawk khaeah ka paek han, tiah a thuih.
37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in thither.
Nangcae pongah ka nuiah Angraeng palungphui moe, Nang doeh to ahmuen ah na kun mak ai;
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, which stands before you, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
toe na taengah angdoe, Nun capa Joshua loe akun tih; anih loe Israel kaminawk qawktoepkung ah oh pongah, anih to thapaek ah.
39 Moreover your little ones, which all of you said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Toe misanawk mah lomh o tih, tiah na thuih o ih nawktanawk hoi to nathuem ah kasae kahoih mathaih tawn ai, na caanawk ni prae thungah akun o tih; nihcae mah qawk ah toep o hanah, nihcae khaeah ka paek han.
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
Toe nangcae loe angqoi oh loe, tuipui kathim caehhaih loklam hoiah praezaek ah caeh oh, tiah ang naa.
41 Then all of you answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when all of you had girded on every man his weapons of war, all of you were ready to go up into the hill.
To naah nangcae mah kai khaeah, Angraeng hmaa ah ka zae o moeng boeh pongah, ka caeh o tahang moe, Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, misa ka tuk o han, tiah nang thuih o. Kami boih maiphaw maica hoiah amthoep o moe, mae nuiah caeh hanah amsak o.
42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest all of you be smitten before your enemies.
Toe Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Misatuk hanah caeh o tahang hmah; nangcae khaeah ka om mak ai; na misanawk mah nangcae to pazawk tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
43 So I spoke unto you; and all of you would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
To pongah ni lok kang thuih o; toe na tahngai o ai; Angraeng mah paek ih lok to na aek o moe, mae nuiah na caeh o tahang nganga.
44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
To naah mae nuiah kaom Amor kaminawk to angzoh o moe, nangcae to ang tuk o; khoimi mah patom ih baktih toengah ang patom o; Seir mae hoiah Hormah karoek to ang patom o moe, ang hum o.
45 And all of you returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
To pacoengah Seir hoiah Hormah ah nam laem o let moe, Angraeng hmaa ah na qah o; toe na qah o haih lok to Angraeng mah tahngai ai, naa doeh patueng ai.
46 So all of you abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that all of you abode there.
To pongah Kadesh ah atue kasawk ah na oh o, to tiah atue na patoh o boih.
