¹Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth!

¹Bil na doh un vante aw, ka gen sin hi; ka paukam suak leiin ngai leh:

²My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.

²Vuahtui bangin ka thu a zu ding, daitui bangin ka thu gen a tak ding; loupa nou dipdip tunga vuah bang leh lounah tunga vuahphin bangin:

³For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto our God!

³TOUPA min ka suah dinga: Thupina i Pathian pia un.

⁴[He is] the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A ùGod of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.

⁴Amah suangpi ahi, a thilhih a dik kim sipsip; A om dan tengteng dan ahi; Pathian muanhuai, thulimlouhna neilou, diktat leh hoih ahi.

⁵They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: -- A crooked and perverted generation!

⁵Hoihlou takin a tungah a hih ua, a tate ahi kei uh, gensiat a lohna uh ahi, suan ginalou leh genhak ahi uhi.

⁶Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee and established thee?

⁶Mi hai leh pil loute aw, huchiin maw, TOUPA na thuk sin uh? Nou honsuang, na pa uh ahi kei maw? a honbawla, a honding kip sak hi.

⁷Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

⁷Nidanglai nite theigige inla, suan tampi kumte ngaihtuah dih: na pa dong inla, a honkawkmuh ding, na upaten leng, a hon hilh ding uh.

⁸When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.

⁸Tungnungpenin namte gam a piak laia, mihing tate a khen laiin namte gamgi a khunga, Israel suante zahin.

⁹For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance.

⁹TOUPA tantuan jaw a mite ahi ua; Jakobte lah a goutan ahi uhi.

¹⁰He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye.

¹⁰Gamdai gamah a mu ua, gamdai sia mau honhonah, a kim ua om khumin a kema, a mit- laivom bangin a kem:

¹¹As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,

¹¹Muvanlaiin a bua a nou a tok thoua, a nou tungah kha a japa, a khate a jaka, a tuaha, a khaa a puak jel bangin:

¹²So Jehovah alone did lead him, And no strange ùgod [was] with him.

¹²TOUPA kiain a pi jela, gam dang pathian hi louin.

¹³He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;

¹³Lei mun sangte ah a tuangsaka, loua thil tung a ne jela; suangpi akipanin khuaiju a kikhohkhesak jela, suang tak akipan thau toh;

¹⁴Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.

¹⁴Bawng nawitui khal, belam nawitui, belamnou thau te toh, Basan uain na dawn ding.

¹⁵Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked -- Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; -- He gave up +God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁵A hinnaa Jesurunte a hongthau ua, a hong kipek ua: na na thaua, na nasaphaa, na namaitaa; a bawlpa Pathian a lehngatsanta, hotdamna Suangpi a ngaineu.

¹⁶They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger.

¹⁶Gamdang pathiante khawngin mullitna a tok thoua, thil kihhuaiin a hehsak.

¹⁷They sacrificed unto demons who are not +God; To gods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not.

¹⁷Pathian hi lou, dawite kiangah theih ngei louh uh pathiante kiangah, hongkhonung om phing pathian thakte, na pi, na pute un a kihtak ngei louh uh kiangah.

¹⁸Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten ùGod who brought thee forth.

¹⁸Nang honsuang Suangpi na ngaisang kei, nang honbawlpa Pathian na mangngilh lai.

¹⁹And Jehovah saw it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.

¹⁹Huai TOUPAN a mua. A mudaha, tanu leh tapate hih heh jiakin.

²⁰And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.

²⁰Ka buk mang san dinga, bang a chi om him ding ua, a chi: suan thulimlou ahi ua, muan chinglou tate.

²¹They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no ùGod; They have exasperated me with their vanities; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people; With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.

²¹Pathian hi lou thilin ka mullitna a tok thou ua; a thil ginalou un a hon heh sak uh; chia gen loutein ka mullit sak dinga, nam haitein ka hihheh ding hi.

²²For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol, And shall consume the earth and its produce, And set fire to the foundations of the mountains.

²²Ka heh a kuanga, Sheol to khon a kang, lei, a thil tung toh a kang khin, tang kingaknate a kang.

²³I will heap mischiefs upon them; Mine arrows will I spend against them.

²³A tunguah siatna ka chiang khawm dinga, a tunguah thal ka khah ding:

²⁴They shall be consumed with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teeth of beasts will I send against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.

²⁴Gilkialin a gongthak ding ua, meipi leh siatna leh nakpiin a kang mang ding, a tunguah gamsa hate ka sawl dinga, leivuia kitholh pawlte gu toh.

²⁵From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror -- Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.

²⁵Polamah namsauin a si ding ua, sung lamah launain, nungak tangval, nawi nelai, lua kelsam poute tan phain.

²⁶I would say, I will scatter, I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,

²⁶Ken, ka delh jak vek dinga, mihing laka amau theihgigena ka hihmang vek ding:

²⁷If I did not fear provocation from the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it, Lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Jehovah has not done all this.

²⁷Melma thangpaihna lauthawng kei leng, a melmate un thei khialin, I khut uh tawisangin a omta, huaite tengteng TOUPA hih ahi kei, chi kha le uh, ka chi.

²⁸For they are a nation void of counsel, And understanding is not in them.

²⁸Pilna neilou namte ahi ua, amau ah theihsiamna a om kei.

²⁹Oh that they had been wise! they would have understood this, They would have considered their latter end!

²⁹Aw, pil le uh hiaite a theisiam ding ua, a tu nunglam thu uh ngaihtuah ding hive un!

³⁰How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?

³⁰Bangchiin khatin sang a delh dia, nihin sing a taikek sak ding uh, a Suangpi un amaute a khawngkhintaa, TOUPAN amau a piak khiak a hih kei ngal uleh?

³¹For their rock is not as our Rock: Let our enemies themselves be judges.

³¹A suangpi uh lah i Suangpi bang ahi kei, i melmate mahmah theih danin leng.

³²For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of poison, Bitter are their clusters;

³²A grep phual uh Sodom grep phual, Gomora gama om ahi: a grepte grep sinkha ahi, a gahbomte a kha:

³³Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of vipers.

³³A uainte uh drakon gu leh gulgial gu kha tak ahi.

³⁴Is not this hidden with me, Sealed up among my treasures?

³⁴Huai ka kholkhawm ka goubawma bilh bikbek ahi kei maw?

³⁵Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.

³⁵Phulak leh thuk jaw kei hih ding ahi, a siksan uh a teu hun chiangin; a siatna ni uh a hongnaita, a tung ua thil hongtung dingte a hongtung ding zok ding.

³⁶For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.

³⁶TOUPAN a mite vai a hawm sina, a sikhate leng a hih sak ding, a thilhihtheihna uh beia, gakchih leh chihlouh kuamah mah om loua a muh hun chiangin.

³⁷And he shall say, Where are their gods, Their rock in whom they trusted,

³⁷Aman a pathian uh akoi ah, a muan suangpi ah loi ah;

³⁸Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you.

³⁸A kithoihna thau uh netu, a dawn ding thillat uh uain dawnmite? Hongthouin nou hong huh uhenla, nou honhuntu hi heh.

³⁹See now that I, I am HE, And there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, And there is none that delivereth out of my hand,

³⁹Kei, kei mahmah ka hih thei unla, pathian dang a om kei uh; ka hihlum jela, ka hihdam sam jel; ka khuta kipan honsut thei kuamah mah a om kei uh.

⁴⁰For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever!

⁴⁰Van lamah ka khut ka jaka, ka hinna louin ka gena,

⁴¹If I have sharpened my gleaming sword, And my hand take hold of judgment, I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.

⁴¹Ka namsaute ka tathiama, ka khutin vaihawmna a kep leh ka melmate tungah phu ka la dinga, kei honhote ka thuk ding hi.

⁴²Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; [I will make them drunk] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy.

⁴²Ka thalte sisan ka kham sak ding, ka namsauin sa a valh ding; thahte leh salte sisan toh melma heute lu akipanin, ka chi, a chi ding.

⁴³Shout for joy, ye nations, with his people, For he avengeth the blood of his servants, And rendereth vengeance to his enemies, And maketh atonement for his land, for his people.

⁴³Aw, nou nam chihte aw, a mite toh kipak un; a sikhate sisan phu a la sin ahi; amah doute tungah phu a la sin, a gam leh a mite adingin kilepna buching a bawl ding.

⁴⁴And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.

⁴⁴Huchiin mipite jakin huai la thu tengteng Mosiin a vagena, amah toh, Nun tapa Hosia toh.

⁴⁵And when Moses had ended speaking all these words to all Israel,

⁴⁵Huan, Mosiin huai thu tengteng Israel mi tengteng kianga a gen khitin, a kiang uah:

⁴⁶he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to take heed to do, all the words of this law.

⁴⁶Tua na kiang ua ka honthu theihsak ah na lungtang uh koih kip unla, hiai dan thu tengteng pilvang mahmaha jui dingin na tate uh thu pia un.

⁴⁷For it is no vain word for you, but it is your life, and through this word ye shall prolong your days on the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.

⁴⁷Nou adingin thil bangmahlou lel ahi keia, na hinna uh lah ahi ngala; huan, hiai thil hihin luah dinga Jordan na vagalkahna gam uah na dam sawt ding uhi, a chi a.

⁴⁸And Jehovah spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

⁴⁸Huan, huai ni mahin TOUPAN Mosi a houpiha,

⁴⁹Go up into this mountain Abarim, mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession,

⁴⁹Moab gama Jeriko jawna Abarim tangdunga Nebo tangah vahoh tou inla, Israel suante luah dinga ka piak Kanan gam va galetin:

⁵⁰and die on the mountain whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died on mount Hor, and was gathered unto his peoples;

⁵⁰Huchiin na unaupa Aron Hor tanga sia, a chite kianga pi a hite bang mahin na kah touhna tangah na si dinga, na chite kianga pi na hita ding hi.

⁵¹because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye hallowed me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

⁵¹Zin gamdaia Kadesa Meriba tuia Israel suante laka ka tunga na khelh jiakin leh Israel suante laka na honpahtawi louh jiakin.Tua gam na va galmuh dinga; himahleh Israel suante ka piak gamah na lut kei ding, chiin.

⁵²For thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.

⁵²Tua gam na va galmuh dinga; himahleh Israel suante ka piak gamah na lut kei ding, chiin.
