¹Hiai thu Jordan suah lam gamdai, Paran leh Tophel leh Laban leh Haze-roth leh Di-zahab kikal a Suph chin Arabaa Mosi in Israel mite tengteng kiang a a gen ahi.

¹These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

²Horeb tang a kipan in Kades-barnea bel Seir tang lam lampi ah ni sawm leh ni khat lam ahi.

²(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)

³Huan, kum sawmli kum, kha sawm leh kha khatna, huai kha ni khat ni in, hichi ahi a, TOUPA'N amau hilh ding a thu a piak tengteng Israel suante kiang ah Mosi in a gen a;

³And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;

⁴Hesbon a om Amorte kumpipa Sihon leh Edrei leh Astarot a om Basan kumpipa Og a thah nung in:

⁴After 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:

⁵Jordan suah lam Moab gamah hiai dan Mosi in a genkhe panta hi.

⁵On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,

⁶TOUPA i Pathian un Horeb tang ah hon houpih a, Hiai tang ah na om sawt hunta uh:

⁶The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

⁷Kisuan ta unla, paikhia unla, Amorte tang gamah leh a kimvel teng Araba ah khawng, tang gam te ah khawng, phai gamah te leh Lebanon ahte, luipi Euphrates tan in pai un.

⁷Turn 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.

⁸Ngai un, gam ka hon pekhin a: na pu uh Abrahamte, Isakte, Jakobte leh amau nung a a suan sawnte uh kiang a kichiam a TOUPA'N a piak gam va luah un, chi in.

⁸Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

⁹Huan, huai lai in na kiang uah, Kei kia in ka hon pozou kei a;

⁹And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

¹⁰TOUPA na Pathian un a hon pung sak a, ngai un, tu in na tamdan uh van a aksi zah hial a hong hi ta uh.

¹⁰The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

¹¹TOUPA, na pi-le-pute un Pathian in tu sanga amun sang in hon pung sak henla, a hon chiam bang in hon vualzawl hen.

¹¹(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

¹²Bang chi in kei kia in na buainate uh, na puakgikte uh, na kihou theihlouhnate uh ka po zou dia?

¹²How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

¹³Na nam lak ua mi, mi pil, theisiam mi, a dan ding theimi kitelkhia unla, na tung ua heutu ding in ka hon bawl ding, chi in a hon houpih a.

¹³Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

¹⁴Huan, nou na thil gen kou a ding in a hoih mahmah, chi in no'n dawng ua.

¹⁴And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.

¹⁵Huchi in na nam heutute uh ka pom a, na nam lak ua mi, mi pil a dan ding thei mite na tung ua heutu ding in ka bawl a, sang tung a heutu, za tung a heutute, sawmnga tung a heutute, sawm tung a heutute, inntek pente toh.

¹⁵So 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.

¹⁶Huan, huailai in na vaihawm mite uh, Na unaute uh kal a thu ngaihkhiak sak unla, unau leh unau kal ah leh gamdang mi, a ompih toh a kaal uah diktat tak in hawm un.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁷Vaihawmna ah deihsak tuam na neih ding uh ahi kei; mi neu leh mi lian kibang tak in na ngaihkhiak sak ding uh ahi; kuamah na lau ding uh ahi kei; vaihawmna lah Pathian a ahi ngal a: nou a ding a thu haksa luate ka kiang ah na hon tun zel ding ua, huan, huai ka ngaikhe zel ding, chi in thu ka pia.

¹⁷Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye 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.

¹⁸Huan, huai lai in thil na hihdan ding tengteng uah thu ka hon pia hi.

¹⁸And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

¹⁹Huan, TOUPA'N thu hon piak bang in Horeb tang a kipan in i pawt ua, Amorte tang gam lampi a gamdai zapi leh mulkimhuai tak na muh uh i kantan ua, Kadesbarnea khua I va tung ua.

¹⁹And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.

²⁰Huan, na kiang uah, TOUPA i Pathian in a hon piak Amorte tang gam na hong tung ta ua.

²⁰And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.

²¹Ngai dih ua, TOUPA na Pathian un gam a hon pekhin ta hi; hohtou unla, TOUPA na pi-le-pute uh Pathian in a na genkhitsa bang in va luahtou un; lau kei unla, lunglel sam kei un, ka hon chi a.

²¹Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

²²Huan, ka kiang ah na hong paivek ua, a gam khawng va enkhia in, i hohtouhna ding lampi leh i hohna ding kho tanchinte hong hilh nawn ding in i ma uah mi sawl leng, na chi ua:

²²And ye 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.

²³Huai in hon kipaksak ngial a; huchi in na lak ua mi sawm leh nih, nam khat a khat zel ka tel a:

²³And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:

²⁴Huchi in a pawt ta ua, tang ah a kahtou ua, Eskol guam a va tung ua, a enkhe vek ua.

²⁴And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.

²⁵Huai gam a theite a lou ua, a hon puak ua, tanchin a hon tun ua; TOUPA i Pathian hon gam piak hoih petmah ahi, a chi ua.

²⁵And 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 doth give us.

²⁶Himahleh na hohtou nuam kei ua, TOUPA na Pathian uh thupiak na helsan ua:

²⁶Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:

²⁷Na puan innte uah na phun ua, TOUPA'N a hon huat ziak in hon hihmang ding a, Amorte khut a hon pe ding in Aigupta gam a kipan hon pikhia ahi.

²⁷And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

²⁸Koi lai ah ahia i hoh touh ding? I unaute'n, mihing ei sang in a lian ua, san leng a sang zaw ua; khuate khawng a lian a, van sun in kulh a nei uh; huan, Anakte tate leng i mu a, chi in i lungtang uh a kesak ua, na chi uh.

²⁸Whither 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.

²⁹Huan, ke'n na kiang uah, Amaute kihta kei unla, lau leng lau sam kei un.

²⁹Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

³⁰TOUPA na Pathian na makaipa un na mitmuh ua Aigupta gam a hon hihsak tengteng bang in a hon sual pih ding a;

³⁰The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

³¹Gamdai ah leng mi'n a ta a pua TOUPA na Pathian un hiai lai mun na tun tan un lam tawn a hon puakdan na mu ding uhi, ka chi a.

³¹And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.

³²Himahleh hiai thil ah TOUPA na Pathian uh na gingta kei uh,

³²Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

³³Na puan inn na zak ding uh hon zonsak ding leh na lampi uh hon kawkmuh ding a zan a mei a, sun a meipi a na ma uh pipa.

³³Who 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 ye should go, and in a cloud by day.

³⁴Huan TOUPA'N na thugen uh a na za a, a heh a, a kichiam a,

³⁴And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

³⁵Hiai suan gilou tak lak a mi khat mahmah in leng na pi-le-pute uh pe ding a ka kichiamna gam hoih petmah a mu kei ding uh,

³⁵Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers.

³⁶Jephune tapa Kaleb kia ngallou in; aman zaw a mu ding; a va sik gam amah leh a tate ka pe ding, aman TOUPA a pomkip ziak in, chi in.

³⁶Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.

³⁷Noute ziak in ka tungah leng TOUPA a heh a, Nang leng huai lai ah na lut kei ding a:

³⁷Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.

³⁸Na nnasempa Nun tapa Josua bel a lut ding; amah hasuan in, Israelte a lutsak sin ahi.

³⁸But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

³⁹Na ta neute uh, Gallak in a la mai ding uh, na chih uleh, tua asia-apha thei nailou na tate uh a lut ding ua, amau zaw ka pe ding a, a luah ding uh.

³⁹Moreover your little ones, which ye 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.

⁴⁰Nou a hihleh kihei unla, Tuipi San lam ah gamdai ah hoh un, chi in.

⁴⁰But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

⁴¹Huan, Nou TOUPA tungah i na khial ta uhi, i hohtou ding ua, TOUPA i Pathan in thu a hon piak tengteng bang in i va sual ding uh, chi in no'n dawng ua, huchi in kidouna van in na kivan chiat ua, tang a hohtouh thil neuchik ding in na ngaihtuah ua.

⁴¹Then ye 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 ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.

⁴²Huan, TOUPA'N ka kiang ah, Hohtou kei un, va sual sam kei un, na lak uah lah ka om ngal kei a, na melmate un a hon na hihlum kha ding uh, a kiang uah chi in, a hon chi a.

⁴²And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

⁴³Huai ka hon hilh a, na pom kei ua, TOUPA thupiak na helsan zo ta ua, tang ah na hohtou teitei uh.

⁴³So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

⁴⁴Huan, huai tang ah Amorte'n a honna sual ua, khuai mi delh bang in a hon na delh ua, Seir a kipan in Horma tan in a hon that zel ua.

⁴⁴And 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.

⁴⁵Huan, na hong kiknawn ua, TOUPA ma ah na kap ua; himahleh TOUPA'N na aw uh a ngaikhe nuamkei a, a bil leng a hon doh nuam sam kei hi.Huchi in huai a na om sung uh ngaihtuah in Kades ah sawtpi na om uhi.

⁴⁵And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

⁴⁶Huchi in huai a na om sung uh ngaihtuah in Kades ah sawtpi na om uhi.

⁴⁶So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
