¹And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.

¹ Musa koy ka sanney din kulu ci Israyla kulu se.

²And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

² A ne i se mo: «Hunkuna ay jiiri zangu nda waranka kubay. Ay si du ka fatta ka furo araŋ jine koyne. Rabbi ci ay se ka ne: ‹Ni si Urdun wo daŋandi.›

³The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

³ Rabbi ni Irikoyo no ga daŋandi ni jine. A ga dumey wo halaci ni jine hala ni m'i mayra ŋwa. Yasuwa no ga daŋandi ni jine, danga mate kaŋ Rabbi ci.

⁴And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.

⁴ Rabbi mo ga te i se mate kaŋ a te Amorancey bonkooney Sihon da Og d'i laabo mo se, kaŋ yaŋ a halaci.

⁵And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.

⁵ Rabbi mo g'i nooyandi araŋ jine. Araŋ ma te i se mo lordo kulu kaŋ ay n'araŋ lordi nd'a boŋ.

⁶Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

⁶ Wa te gaabi nda bine-gaabi hanno. Wa si humburu, wa si jijiri i sabbay se mo. Zama Rabbi ni Irikoyo no g'araŋ dum. A si fay da araŋ, a si araŋ furu mo.»

⁷And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

⁷ Musa na Yasuwa ce ka salaŋ a se Israyla kulu jine ka ne: «Ni ma gaabu, ka te bine-gaabi hanno mo. Zama ni ga koy jama wo banda hala laabo kaŋ Rabbi ze d'a i kaayey se din ra, kaŋ a ne nga g'i no nd'a. Ni mo ga naŋ i m'a tubu.

⁸And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

⁸ Rabbi bumbo no ga furo ni jine. Nga bumbo no ga goro ni banda, a si fay da nin, a si ni furu mo. Ma si humburu bo, ma si jijiri mo.»

⁹And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.

⁹ Musa mo na asariya wo sanney hantum, ka tira daŋ Lawi izey alfagey kambe ra, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga Rabbi sappa sundurko jare. A n'a daŋ mo Israyla arkusey kulu kambe ra.

¹⁰And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

¹⁰ Musa n'i lordi mo ka ne: «Jiiri iyye kulu kaŋ kubay, sanda alwaati kaŋ i kosu taŋyaŋ se, kaŋ i ga tanda bato haggoy,

¹¹When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

¹¹ waati kaŋ Israyla kulu ga kaa ka bangay Rabbi ni Irikoyo jine nango kaŋ a ga suuban din ra, waato din ni ma asariya wo sanney kulu caw Israyla kulu hangey ra.

¹²Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

¹² Ma jama margu: alborey da wayborey da zankey, da yawey mo kaŋ yaŋ go araŋ kwaarey ra da goray. Naŋ i ma maa, zama i ma dondon, i ma humburu Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo. I ma haggoy ka goy mo asariya wo sanney kulu boŋ.

¹³And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

¹³ I izey mo, kaŋ yaŋ mana du ka bay a gaa, i ma du ka maa, i ma dondon ka humburu Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo, alwaati kulu kaŋ araŋ ga goro laabo kaŋ araŋ ga Urdun daŋandi ka du a mayray din ra.»

¹⁴And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.

¹⁴ Rabbi ne Musa se: «Guna, ni buuyaŋ jirbey maan. Ma Yasuwa ce. Araŋ boro hinka ma kaa kubayyaŋ hukumo ra, hal ay m'a daŋ goyo ra.» Musa nda Yasuwa binde koy ka kay kubayyaŋ hukumo ra.

¹⁵And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.

¹⁵ Rabbi mo bangay hukumo ra buru sari himandi ra. Buro mo kay hukumo meyo gaa.

¹⁶And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

¹⁶ Rabbi ne Musa se: «Guna, ni ga kani ni kaayey banda. Dumo wo mo ga tun ni banda ka zina te laabo din de-koy waani-waaney banda, nango kaŋ i ga koy ka goro. Sanda i g'ay furu nooya, i ga sappa kaŋ ay te in d'ey game ra tunandi mo.

¹⁷Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?

¹⁷ Saaya woodin ra ay dukuro ga koroŋ i gaa. Han din hane ay g'i furu, ay g'ay moyduma tugu i se mo, hal i ibarey g'i ŋwa. Masiiba nda taabi boobo ga kaa i gaa, hal a ma to hano kaŋ i ga ne: ‹Manti zama iri Irikoyo si no iri game ra se no taabey wo kulu du iri bo?›

¹⁸And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.

¹⁸ Daahir ay g'ay moyduma tugu han din hane, i laala kulu kaŋ i te sabbay se, kaŋ i bare ka koy de-koy waani yaŋ banda.

¹⁹Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

¹⁹ Sohõ binde, kal araŋ ma bayto wo hantum araŋ boŋ se, k'a dondonandi Israyla izey se. Ni m'a daŋ i meyey ra, zama baytu wo ma ciya ay se seeda Israyla izey jine.

²⁰For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

²⁰ Zama ay ga kand'ey laabo kaŋ ay ze d'a i kaayey se din ra, laabu kaŋ ga wa nda yu bambari. I ga ŋwa ka kungu ka naasu mo. Waato din gaa no i ga bare ka ye de-koy waani yaŋ banda, i ga may i se mo. I ga donda ay k'ay sappa tunandi.

²¹And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.

²¹ A ga te ka ciya mo, da masiiba nda taabi boobo du ey, gaa no bayto wo ga te seeda i se. A ga te alaama, (zama i dumey bandey si diny'a, i ga soobay k'a doon no). Zama ay g'i dabaro kaŋ i go ga sijiri hunkuna bay, za i mana baa to laabo kaŋ ay ze d'a i se ra.»

²²Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

²² Musa mo na bayto hantum han din hane, k'a dondonandi Israyla izey se.

²³And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.

²³ Rabbi na Yasuwa Nun izo lordi mo ka ne: «Ma te gaabi nda bine-gaabi hanno, zama nin no ga konda Israyla izey laabo kaŋ ay ze d'a i se din ra. Ay ga goro ni banda mo.»

²⁴And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

²⁴ Musa na asariya wo sanney kulu hantum tira fo ra ka ban hal i kulu kubay.

²⁵That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,

²⁵ Waato din gaa no Musa na Lawitey kaŋ yaŋ ga Rabbi sappa sundurko jare lordi ka ne:

²⁶Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

²⁶ «Wa asariya tiro wo ta k'a jisi Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo sappa sundurko jarga, zama a ma ciya seeda araŋ boŋ noodin.

²⁷For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?

²⁷ Zama ay ga ni murteyaŋ daa da ni hanga sanda mo bay. Manti za ay gonda fundi araŋ banda hunkuna araŋ jin ka murte Rabbi gaa, sanku fa binde ay buuyaŋo banda?

²⁸Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.

²⁸ Wa araŋ kundey arkusey kulu margu ay jine, d'araŋ wongu nyaŋey mo, zama ay ma sanney wo salaŋ i hangey ra, ya beene nda ganda ce k'i daŋ seeda i boŋ.

²⁹For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

²⁹ Zama ay bay kaŋ ay buuyaŋ banda araŋ g'araŋ boŋ ziibandi parkatak! Araŋ ga bare ka fonda kaŋ ay n'araŋ lordi nd'a taŋ. Laala mo ga kaa araŋ gaa kokor banda jirbey ra, zama araŋ ga haŋ kaŋ ga laala te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa. Araŋ g'a dukuro zokoti mo d'araŋ kambe goyey.»

³⁰And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.

³⁰ Musa mo na bayto wo sanney ci Israyla jama kulu hangey ra, kal a n'i ci ka ban:
