Joshua 1
1 Angraeng ih tamna Mosi duek pacoengah, Mosi lawnhkung, Nun capa Joshua khaeah, Angraeng mah,
Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
2 Ka tamna Mosi loe duek boeh; to pongah vaihi angthawk loe, nangmah hoi haeah kaom kaminawk boih, Jordan vapui yaeh ah caeh oh, Israel kaminawk khaeah ka paek ih prae thungah akun o ah.
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Mosi khaeah ka thuih ih lok baktih toengah, khok hoi na cawh ih ahmuen boih to kang paek han.
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses.
4 Praezaek hoi kamtong Lebanon karoek to, Euphrates vapui hoi kamtong Hit kaminawk ih prae boih, niduem bang kaom kalen parai tuipui karoek to, na prae ah om tih.
From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
5 Na hing thung misatuk hanah na hmaa ah angdoe kami mi doeh om mak ai; Mosi ka oh thuih baktih toengah, kang oh thuih han; kang caeh taak mak ai, kang pahnawt sut mak ai.
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Nihcae ampanawk khaeah paek han lokkam ih prae to toep hanah, hae kaminawk qawk na pazet han oh pongah, thacaksak loe, misahoihaih hoiah om ah.
Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Ka tamna Mosi khaeah ka paek ih kaaloknawk boih pazui thaih hanah, thacaksak loe misahoihaih hoiah om ah; na caehhaih ahmuen kruekah hmacawn thai hanah, bantang bang maw, banqoi bang maw amkhraeng hmah.
Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest.
8 Hae kaalok kangrik Cabu hae na pakha thung hoi tacawtsak ving han om ai, kroek ai ah om hmah; to Cabu thung tarik ih loknawk boih pazui thai hanah, aqum athun palung angpaekhaih hoiah kroek ah; to tiah nahaeloe na caehhaih loklam hmacawn ueloe, na tawn ih hmuen to pung tih.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Lok kang paek na ai maw? Na thacaksak loe, misahoihaih hoiah om ah; zii hmah loe, palungboeng hmah; na caeh haih ahmuen kruekah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah na oh haih tih, tiah a naa.
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 To pongah Joshua mah ukkung kacoehtanawk khaeah,
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh oh loe, Na Angraeng Sithaw mah qawktoep han paek ih prae thungah akun thai hanah, ni thumto thung hae Jordan vapui angkat han oh pongah, caaknaek patung o coek ah, tiah thuih pae oh, tiah a naa.
Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it.
12 Toe Joshua mah Reuben kaminawk, Gad kaminawk hoi ahap Manasseh kaminawk khaeah,
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
13 Angraeng ih tamna Mosi mah nangcae khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw mah anghakhaih ahmuen hoi hae prae hae ang paek o boeh, tiah thuih ih lok to panoek oh.
Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God giveth you rest, and will give you this land.
14 Na zunawk, na caanawk hoi pacah ih moinnawk loe Mosi mah ang paek o ih Jordan vapui yaeh ih prae ah suem oh; toe nangcae thung ih thacak misatuh kop kaminawk loe maiphaw to sin o nasoe, nam nawkamyanawk hmaa ah vapui angkat o nasoe loe,
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them;
15 Angraeng mah nangcae hanah anghakhaih ahmuen ang paek o baktih toengah, nihcae han anghakhaih ahmuen paek ai karoek to, na Angraeng Sithaw mah nihcae han paek ih prae to toep o ai karoek to, nam nawkamyanawk to abom oh; to pacoengah amlaem o let loe, Jordan ni angyae bang kaom ahmuen, Angraeng ih tamna Mosi mah ang paek o ih prae to toep oh, tiah a naa.
until Jehovah have given your brethren rest, as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising.
16 To naah nihcae mah Joshua khaeah, Nang paek ih lok to ka pazui o boih moe, nang patoeh ih ahmuen kruekah ka caeh o han.
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go.
17 Mosi ih lok to ka tahngai o boih baktih toengah, na lok doeh ka tahngai o han; Mosi khaeah Angraeng Sithaw oh baktih toengah, nang khaeah doeh om nasoe.
According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only Jehovah thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Mi kawbaktih doeh na lok to aek moe, na lok tahngai ai kami loe, na paek ih lok baktih toengah, paduek han oh; na thacaksak loe, misahoihaih hoiah om ah, tiah a naa o.
Whosoever he be that shall rebel against thy commandment, and shall not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of good courage.
