Lokcaekkung 2
1 Angraeng ih van kami loe Gilgal vangpui hoi Bokim vangpui ah caeh moe, Izip prae hoiah nam panawk khae lokkamhaih ka sak ih prae ah kang caeh o haih boeh; nangcae hoi sak ih lokkamhaih to natuek naah doeh ka phrae mak ai.
And an Angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to the Place of Weeping, and he said: “I led you away from Egypt, and I led you into the land, about which I swore to your fathers. And I promised that I would not nullify my covenant with you, even forever:
2 Nangcae loe hae prae ah kaom kaminawk hoi angkom o hmah; nihcae mah bok ih hmaicamnawk to phrae o boih ah, tiah kang thuih o; tipongah ka lok tahngai ai ah hae tiah na oh o loe?
but only if you would not form a pact with the inhabitants of this land. Instead, you should overturn their altars. Yet you were not willing to listen to my voice. Why have you done this?
3 To pongah hae ih prae kaminawk hae nangcae hmaa ah ka haek mak ai, tiah vaihi kang thuih o boeh; hae kaminawk loe nangcae thunkung soekhring ah om o tih, nihcae ih sithawnawk loe nangcae han patungh ih dongh baktiah om o tih, tiah a naa.
For this reason, I am not willing to destroy them before your face, so that you may have enemies, and so that their gods may be your ruin.”
4 Angraeng ih van kami mah Israel kaminawk khaeah hae loknawk thuih pae pacoengah, kaminawk loe tha hoi qah o.
And when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and they wept.
5 To pongah to ahmuen to Bokim, tiah kawk o; to ahmuen ah Angraeng khae angbawnhaih a sak o.
And the name of that place was called, the Place of Weeping, or the Place of Tears. And they immolated victims to the Lord in that place.
6 Joshua mah Israel kaminawk loihsak pacoengah, Israel kaminawk mah prae toep o hanah, angmacae qawktoephaih ahmuen ah caeh o boih.
Then Joshua dismissed the people, and the sons of Israel went away, each one to his own possession, so that they might obtain it.
7 Israel kaminawk loe Joshua hing thung Angraeng ih tok to sak o; Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk han sak ih kalen parai hmuen hnukung, Joshua om ai naah kaom saning kasawk ah kahing kacoehtanawk dung ah doeh Angraeng ih tok to a sak o.
And they served the Lord, during all his days, and during all the days of the elders, who lived for a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 Nun capa Joshua, Angraeng ih tamna loe, saning cumvai, hato hing pacoeng ah duek.
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
9 Anih to Gaash mae aluek bang, Ephraim mae nuiah kaom, angmah qawk ah toep ih Timnath-Heres ramri taengah aphum o.
And they buried him in the parts of his possession at Timnath-Serah, on Mount Ephraim, before the northern side of Mount Gaash.
10 Joshua dung thuem kaom kaminawk loe ampanawk ohhaih ahmuen ah amkhueng o: nihcae hnukah kaom kaminawk loe Angraeng to panoek o ai moe, Angraeng mah Israel caanawk han sak paek ih hmuen doeh panoek o ai.
And that entire generation was gathered to their fathers. And there rose up others, who had not known the Lord and the works that he had done for Israel.
11 Israel kaminawk loe Angraeng mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak o moe, Baal sithaw to bok o.
And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served the Baals.
12 Izip prae hoi zaehoikung, ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw to pahnawt o; nihcae taeng kaom kaminawk ih, kalah sithawnawk hnukah bang o moe, nihcae to bok o; to tiah Angraeng to palungphui o sak.
And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had led them away from the land of Egypt. And they followed foreign gods and the gods of the peoples who were living around them, and they adored them. And they provoked the Lord to wrath,
13 Angraeng to pahnawt o sut moe, Baal hoi Ashtoreth ih tok to sak pae o.
forsaking him, and serving Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 Angraeng loe Israel kaminawk nuiah paroeai palungphui pongah, Angraeng mah nihcae to kami taekkung ban ah paek; nihcae mah angmacae ih misanawk pazawk o thai han ai ah, nihcae to a taengah kaom kaminawk khaeah zawh.
And the Lord, having become angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers, who seized them and sold them to the enemies that were living on all sides. Neither were they able to withstand their adversaries.
15 Israel kaminawk caehhaih ahmuen kruek ah, nihcae khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng ih ban mah nihcae to misa sungsak; to pongah paroeai palungboeng o.
Instead, wherever they wanted to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, just as he said and just as he swore to them. And they were greatly afflicted.
16 Toe Angraeng mah lokcaekkungnawk to pathawk moe, nihcae to parokungnawk ban thung hoiah pahlong.
And the Lord raised up judges, who would free them from the hands of their oppressors. But they were not willing to listen to them.
17 To tiah oh pacoengah doeh angmacae lokcaekkungnawk ih lok to tahngai o ai vop; kalah sithawnawk khaeah takpum a zawh o moe, nihcae to bok o; ampanawk mah Angraeng lok tahngaih o moe, a caeh o haih loklam bang hoiah karangah amkhraeng o ving; ampanawk mah sak ih baktiah sah o ai.
Fornicating with foreign gods and adoring them, they quickly deserted the way along which their fathers had advanced. And having heard the commandments of the Lord, they did all things to the contrary.
18 Nihcae hanah Angraeng mah lokcaekkung paek naah, Angraeng mah lokcaekkungnawk to oh thuih; lokcaekkungnawk hing thung nihcae to angmacae misanawk ban thung hoiah pahlong pae; nihcae mah pacaekthlaekhaih hoi patangkhanghaih tong o pongah, Angraeng loe a sak ih hmuen nuiah dawnpakhuem let.
And while the Lord was raising up the judges, in their days, he was moved to mercy, and he listened to the groaning of the afflicted, and he freed them from the slaughter of their oppressors.
19 Toe lokcaekkung duek naah loe, ampanawk mah sak ih hmuen pongah kasae kue hmuen to a sak o; nihcae ih toksak pae o moe, nihcae to bok hanah, kalah sithawnawk hnukah a bang o; kahoih ai hmuen sakhaih hoi palung thahhaih loklam to caehtaak han koeh o ai.
But after a judge had died, they turned back, and they were doing much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them, and adoring them. They did not abandon their pursuits and their very stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
20 To pongah Angraeng loe Israel kaminawk nuiah paroeai palungphui moe, Nihcae ampanawk khaeah ka sak ih lokkamhaih to hae kaminawk mah pahnawt o, ka lok tahngai o ai pongah,
And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he said: “For this people has made void my covenant, which I had formed with their fathers, and they have despised listening to my voice.
21 Joshua duek pacoengah kanghmat kawbaktih prae kami doeh nihcae hmaa hoiah ka haek pae mak ai boeh:
And so, I will not destroy the nations that Joshua left behind when he died,
22 nihcae ampanawk mah Angraeng ih loklam to pazui o baktih toengah, nihcae doeh pazui o tih maw, pazui o mak ai, tiah kanghmat kaminawk patohhaih rang hoiah Israel kaminawk to ka tanoek han, tiah a thuih.
so that, by them, I may test Israel, as to whether or not they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, just as their fathers kept it.”
23 To pongah Angraeng mah to prae kaminawk to, karangah haek ai; nihcae to Joshua ban ah doeh paek ai, caeh taak sut.
Therefore, the Lord left all these nations, and he was not willing to quickly overthrow them, nor did he deliver them into the hands of Joshua.
