Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Aw Israel kaminawk, tahngai oh; vaihiah nangcae pong kalen kue, thacak kue prae kaminawk hoi van khoek to kasang sipae thungh ih vangpuinawk to toep hanah, Jordan vapui to nang kat o tih boeh.
1Hear, O Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens.
2To kaminawk loe len o moe, sang o; Anak kaminawk kawng to na panoek o boeh; mi mah maw Anak kaminawk to pazawk thai tih? tiah thuih ih lok doeh na thaih o boeh.
2The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim. You know about them, and you have heard it said, “Who can stand up to the sons of Anak?”
3Toe na Angraeng Sithaw loe hmai kangqong baktiah nangcae hmaa ah caeh, tito vaihniah panoek oh; anih mah nihcae to amrosak tih; Anih mah to kaminawk to nangcae hma ah pazawk tih; Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae to na haek o ueloe, nihcae to karangah na hum o tih.
3But understand that today the LORD your God goes across ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will destroy them and subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them swiftly, as the LORD has promised you.
4Na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae hma ah nihcae to haek bit naah, ka toeng pongah ni Angraeng mah hae prae hae toep hanah ang hoih, tiah poek o hmah; hae kaminawk loe set pongah ni Angraeng mah nangcae hma hoiah haek.
4When the LORD your God has driven them out before you, do not say in your heart, “Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land.” Rather, the LORD is driving out these nations before you because of their wickedness.
5Na toenghaih hoi na poek toenghaih pongah, nihcae ih prae toep hanah na caeh ai; hae acaengnawk loe set o pongah ni, nam pa Abraham, Isak hoi Jakob khaeah lokkamhaih koepsak hanah, nihcae to nangcae hma hoiah Angraeng mah haek.
5It is not because of your righteousness or uprightness of heart that you are going in to possess their land, but it is because of their wickedness that the LORD your God is driving out these nations before you, to keep the promise He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6Na toeng o pongah na Angraeng Sithaw mah kahoih hae prae hae toep hanah paek ih na ai ni; nangcae loe palungthah kami ah ni na oh o, tito panoek oh.
6Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people.
7Praezaek ah na Angraeng Sithaw to kawbangah maw palung na phui o sak, tito pahnet o hmah, pakuem o poe ah; Izip prae na caeh o taak ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, Angraeng ih lok tahngai ai kami ah ni na oh o.
7Remember this, and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place, you have been rebelling against the LORD.
8Horeb ah Angraeng palung na phui o sak, anih loe nangcae hum han khoek to palungphui.
8At Horeb you provoked the LORD, and He was angry enough to destroy you.
9Angraeng mah nangcae hoi sak ih lokmaihaih thlung to lak hanah, mae nuiah ka dawh tahang naah, takaw ka caa ai, tui doeh nae ai ah, mae nuiah ni qui palito hoi qum qui palito thung ka oh.
9When I went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that the LORD made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I ate no bread and drank no water.
10Sithaw ih banpazung hoiah tarik ih thlung kangphaek hnetto Angraeng mah ang paek; to thlung kangphaek hnetto nuiah loe, hmai kangqong mae nui ih amkhuenghaih niah, Angraeng mah nangcae khaeah thuih ih loknawk boih to oh.
10Then the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God with the exact words that the LORD spoke to you out of the fire on the mountain on the day of the assembly.
11Ni qui palito hoi qum qui palito boeng pacoengah loe, lokmaihaih thlung kangphaek, thlung kangphaek hnetto Angraeng mah ang paek.
11And at the end of forty days and forty nights, the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.
12To naah Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Angthawk ah loe, hae ahmuen hoi karangah caeh tathuk ah; Izip prae hoiah nangzoh haih ih nangmah ih kaminawk loe amro o boeh; ka paek ih lok to nihcae mah angqoi o taak moe, bok hanah krang to a sak o boeh, tiah ang naa.
12And the LORD said to me, “Get up and go down from here at once, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten image.”
13To pacoengah Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Hae kaminawk hae ka hnuk boeh; khenah, nihcae loe palungthah parai kami ah oh o!
13The LORD also said to me, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
14Kaimah bueng na omsak ah, van tlim ah nihcae ih ahmin oh han ai ah, ka phraek moe, nihcae to ka hum han boeh; toe nang loe nihcae pongah thacak kue, kapop kue acaeng ah kang sak han, tiah ang naa.
14Leave Me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. Then I will make you into a nation mightier and greater than they are.”
15To pongah kang qoi moe, hmai kangqong mae nui hoiah kang hum tathuk; lokmaihaih thlung kangphaek hnetto ban ah ka tapom.
15So I went back down the mountain while it was blazing with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my hands.
16Ka khet tathuk naah, nangmacae Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah na zae o boeh, tito ka hnuk; nangmacae hanah maitaw caa krang to na sak o; Angraeng mah paek ih loklam hoiah karangah nang qoi o taak.
16And I saw how you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for yourselves a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you.
17To pongah ka ban ih thlung kangphaek hnetto to ka lak moe, nangcae mikhnuk ah ka vah phaeng.
17So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, shattering them before your eyes.
18Nangcae mah Angraeng palungphuisak hanah, anih hmaa ah na sak o ih zaehaih pongah, hmaloe ah ka sak ih baktih toengah, takaw to ka caa ai, tui doeh nae ai ah, Angraeng hmaa ah ni qui palito hoi qum qui palito ka kuep.
18Then I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, as I had done the first time. I did not eat bread or drink water because of all the sin you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD and provoking Him to anger.
19Nangcae hum han khoek to hmai baktiah kamngaeh Angraeng palungphuihaih to ka zit. Toe Angraeng mah ka lok ang tahngaih pae.
19For I was afraid of the anger and wrath that the LORD had directed against you, enough to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me this time as well.
20Angraeng loe Aaron hum han khoek to palungphui; toe to nathuem ah kai mah Aaron hanah lawk ka thuih pae.
20The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I also prayed for Aaron.
21Nangcae zaehaih ah kaom, ban hoi na sak o ih maitaw caa krang to ka lak moe, hmai hoiah ka qoeng; ka tit moe, kadip pueng khoek to ka naep pacoengah, mae nui hoiah long kathuk tui thungah ka vah.
21And I took that sinful thing, the calf you had made, and burned it in the fire. Then I crushed it and ground it to powder as fine as dust, and I cast it into the stream that came down from the mountain.
22Taberah, Massah, Kibroth-Hattavah ahmuen ah doeh Angraeng palungphui hanah na sak o.
22You continued to provoke the LORD at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.
23Angraeng mah Kadesh-Barnea hoiah, Caeh oh loe kang paek o ih prae to toep oh, tiah ang patoeh o; toe na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih lok to na aek o; anih to na oep o ai moe, a lok doeh na tahngai pae o ai.
23And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh-barnea, He said, “Go up and possess the land that I have given you.” But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You neither believed Him nor obeyed Him.
24Nangcae kang panoek tangsuek nathuem hoi boeh ni Angraeng ih lok aek kami ah na oh o.
24You have been rebelling against the LORD since the day I came to know you.
25Angraeng mah nangcae hum han thuih naah, hmaloe ah ka sak ih baktih toengah, ni qui palito hoi qum qui palito thung Angraeng hmaa ah ka kuep.
25So I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said He would destroy you.
26Angraeng khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw, lensawkhaih hoiah na pahlong ih nangmah ih kaminawk hoi thacak na ban hoiah Izip prae thung hoi na zaehhoih ih, na qawktoep kaminawk to hum hmah.
26And I prayed to the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You redeemed through Your greatness and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27Na tamna Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob to pahnet hmah loe, hae kaminawk ih palung thahhaih, a set o haih hoi a zae o haihnawk doeh khen pae hmah rae ah;
27Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness of this people and the wickedness of their sin.
28to tih ai nahaeloe na zaehhoih ih prae kaminawk mah, Angraeng mah lokkam ih prae thungah nihcae to caeh haih thai ai, anih mah hnukma pongah ni nihcae to praezaek ah hum han ih a caeh haih, tiah thui o moeng tih.
28Otherwise, those in the land from which You brought us out will say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land He had promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
29Hae kaminawk loe nangmah ih kami ah ni oh o; na thacakhaih hoi thacak ban na payanghaih hoiah na zaehhoih ih nangmah ih qawktoep kami ah ni a oh o, tiah lawk ka thuih.
29But they are Your people, Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your great power and outstretched arm.”
