¹And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel;

¹Huan, Mosiin, Israel mi tengteng kiangah hiai thu a gena.

²and he said unto them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day, I can no more go out and come in; and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

²A kiang uah, Tuin kum ja leh sawmnih ka nahitaa; ka vialvak thei nawnta keia; huan TOUPAN, Hiai Jordan lui na kan kei ding, a honchi a.

³Jehovah thy God, he will go over before thee, he will destroy these nations from before thee, that thou mayest take possession of them: Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Jehovah hath said.

³TOUPA na Pathian un na ma uh a pi dinga, hiai namte a honhihmangsak dinga, a gam uh na luah ding uh; huan, TOUPAN a nagensa bangin Joshuain na ma uh a pi ding hi.

⁴And Jehovah will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.

⁴Huan, TOUPAN Amorte kumpipa, Sihon leh Og leh a gam tung ua ahih bangin a tunguah a hih ding; amaute a hihmang ding hi.

⁵And when Jehovah giveth them up before you, ye shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

⁵TOUPAN amau a honpe dinga, thu ka honpiak thupiak tengteng a tunguah na hih ding uhi.

⁶Be strong and courageous, fear them not, neither be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God, he it is that goeth with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.

⁶Kuhkal tak leh hang takin om unla, lau kei unla amau kihta kei un: na kiang ua piapa TOUPA na Pathian uh lah ahi ngala; a honvuallel sak kei dinga, pai leng a honpai san kei hial ding hi, a chi a.

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

⁷Huan, Mosiin Joshua a sama, Israel mite tengteng mitmuhin a kiangah, Hat tak leh hang takin omin, hiai mite kiangah a pi uh leh pute uh TOUPAN kichiama piak a nachiamsa gamah na hoh ding ahi, amaute na luah sak ding ahi.

⁸And Jehovah, he it is that goeth before thee: he will be with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.

⁸Huan, na ma pipa TOUPA ahi dinga, na kiangah a om jeljel dinga, a honvuallel sak kei dinga, pai leng a honpai san kei hial ding hi; lau kenla, lunglel sam ken, a chi hi.

⁹And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.

⁹Huan, Mosiin dan a gelha, TOUPA thukhun bawm jawng Levi tapa siampute leh Israel upate tengteng a pia.

¹⁰And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, at the set time of the year of release, at the feast of tabernacles,

¹⁰Huchiin, Mosiin, amaute thu a piaa, Kum sagih kum, ngaihdam kum tenga bawkta ankuangluinaa,

¹¹when all Israel cometh to appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he will choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their ears.

¹¹Mun a seh dinga Israel mi tengteng TOUPA na Pathian uh maa a hongkilat hun chiang un hiai dan Israel tengteng jakin na sim ding ahi.

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

¹²Mipite numei pasal, na taneu chikchikte uh, na ompih uh gam dang mite, amau a ngaihkhiak ua, a kisin ua, TOUPA na Pathian uh laudan a siam ua, hiai dan thu tengteng pilvang taka a zuih theihna ding uh leh;

¹³and that their children who do not know it may hear it and learn, that they may fear Jehovah your God, as long as ye live in the land, whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.

¹³A tate uh a thei nai louten leng a jak ua, Jordan lui kana na valuah ding uh gama na om sung tengteng ua TOUPA na Pathian uh laudansiam a kisin theihna ding un sam khawm un, chiin.

¹⁴And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, the days are near for thee to die; call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.

¹⁴Huan, TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Ngaiin, na sih hun a hongnai ta; Joshua sam inla, kihoupihna puaninah vakihilin, amau thu ka pe sin hi, a chi a. Huan, Mosi leh Joshua a hoh ua, kihoupihna puaninah a vakihil ua.

¹⁵And Jehovah appeared at the tent in the pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.

¹⁵Huan, TOUPA puanin ah meipi dingin a kilaka; huan, meipi ding Puanin kongpi lu tungah a ding hi.

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

¹⁶Huan, TOUPAN Mosi kiangah, Ngaiin, na pi leh pute kiangah na ihmu sinta hi, hiai mite a thou ding ua a vaomna dingte uh lakah huai gam pathiante lakah ang a kawm ding ua, honlehngatsan ding ua, ka thukhun a kiang ua ka khun a bohse ding uh.

¹⁷And 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, and they will say in that day, Have not these evils befallen me because my God is not in my midst?

¹⁷Huchiin, hiai hun chiangin a tunguah ka heh dinga, ka lehngatsan dinga, ka buk mangsan dinga, amang ding ua, thil hoihlou leh mangbatna tampi a tunguah a tung ding; huchiin huai ni chiangin, I Pathian uh i lak ua a om louh jiakin hiai thil hoih lou i tunguah a hongtung ahi kei maw? a chi ding uh.

¹⁸And I will entirely hide my face in that day for all the evils that they have wrought, because they turned unto other gods.

¹⁸Pathian dangte lam ngaa thil hoih lou a hohhih ding tengteng uh jiakin huai niin ka bu ngeingei ding hi.

¹⁹And now, write ye this song, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

¹⁹Huaijiakin hichibang la nang dinga phuah, Israel suante kisin sakin; Israel suante tungtang thuah hiai la kei dinga hontheihpihtu a hih theihna dingin vom sakin.

²⁰For I shall bring them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, which floweth with milk and honey; and they will eat and fill themselves, and wax fat, and will turn unto other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

²⁰A pi leh pute uh kianga kichiama ka chiam, nawitui leh khuaiju luang gamah ka pia, ne leh taa a om ua, a tai ua, a hongthau hial uleh pathian dangte lam a nga ding ua, a nate a sem ding ua, kei a hon simmoh ding ua, ka thukhunte a bohseding uhi.

²¹And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have 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 are forming already this day, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn [unto them].

²¹Huan, hichi ahi dinga, thil hoihlou leh mangbatna tampi a tung ua a hongtun hun chiangin hiai la a theikhesaktu ahi ding; a suante uh kama kipanin mangngilh theih lah ahi sin keia; tuin ka kichiam gama li pima himin leng a lunggel kawikawi dan uh ka theikhin pah hi, a chi a.

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

²²Huchiin Mosiin, huai la, huai ni mahmahin a phuaka, Israel suante a kisin sak hi.

²³And [Jehovah] commanded Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and courageous; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have sworn unto them; and I will be with thee.

²³Huan, Nun tapa Joshua a hasuana, Kuhkal tak leh hang takin omin; Israel suante a kiang ua kichiama ka chiam gamah na pi lut sin ahi; huan, na kiangah ka om jel ding, a chi a.

²⁴And it came to pass, when Moses had ended writing the words of this law in a book, until their conclusion,

²⁴Huan, hichi ahia, Mosiin hiai dan thute laibua a gelh khita mansaa a om vek nungin,

²⁵that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,

²⁵TOUPA thukhun bawm jawng Levite Mosiin thu a piaa,

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

²⁶Hiai dan bu la unla, na tungtang thu ua theihpihtu dingin TOUPA na Pathian uh thukhun bawm sikah koih un.

²⁷for I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck. Lo, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah; and how much more after my death!

²⁷Na helhat dan uh leh na paupendan uh ka thei hi; ngai un, tua ka hondam pih lai abawn TOUPA tunga hel naknak na hi ua; ka sih nung ngialin houh bangchiphetin a thupi de aw?

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

²⁸A bil ua jaka hiai thu ka gena, a tungtang thu ua theihpihtu dia lei leh van ka sap theihna dingin na nam ia intekpen tengteng, na heutute uh honsap khawm sak un.

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

²⁹Ka sih nung chiangin nakpi takin na kihihse ding ua, ka honthupiak lampi akipan na pial ding uh chih ka thei kilkel ahi; huan, a tawp chiang ngialin houh thil hoih louin a honbuak khum dinga; na khut thil hih ua hihheh dingin TOUPA mitmuhin thil hoih lou na hih sin jiak un, chiin.Huchiin, Mosiin, Israel kikhawm khawm tengteng bila jakin hiai la thu a tawp phain a gen veka.

³⁰And Moses spoke in the ears of the whole congregation of Israel the words of this song, until their conclusion.

³⁰Huchiin, Mosiin, Israel kikhawm khawm tengteng bila jakin hiai la thu a tawp phain a gen veka.
