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.
The angel of the Lord went from Gilgal to Bokim and told the people, “I led you out of the land of Egypt and brought you to this land that I promised to your forefathers, and I said I would never break the agreement I made with you.
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?
I also told you not to make any agreements with the people living in the land and to tear down their altars. But you refused to obey what I said. Why did you do 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.
I also warned you, ‘I will not drive them out before you, and they will be snares for you, and their gods will be traps for you.’”
4 Angraeng ih van kami mah Israel kaminawk khaeah hae loknawk thuih pae pacoengah, kaminawk loe tha hoi qah o.
After the angel of the Lord had explained this to all the Israelites, the people wept out loud.
5 To pongah to ahmuen to Bokim, tiah kawk o; to ahmuen ah Angraeng khae angbawnhaih a sak o.
That's why they named the place Bokim, and they presented sacrifices there to the Lord.
6 Joshua mah Israel kaminawk loihsak pacoengah, Israel kaminawk mah prae toep o hanah, angmacae qawktoephaih ahmuen ah caeh o boih.
After Joshua had dismissed the people, the Israelites went to take possession of the land, each to their allotted land.
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.
The people continued to worship the Lord throughout Joshua's life, and throughout the lifetimes of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all the wonderful things that the Lord had done for Israel.
8 Nun capa Joshua, Angraeng ih tamna loe, saning cumvai, hato hing pacoeng ah duek.
Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
9 Anih to Gaash mae aluek bang, Ephraim mae nuiah kaom, angmah qawk ah toep ih Timnath-Heres ramri taengah aphum o.
They buried him in Timnath-heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.
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.
Once that generation had passed away, the generation that followed did not know the Lord, or what he had done for Israel.
11 Israel kaminawk loe Angraeng mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak o moe, Baal sithaw to bok o.
The Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and they worshiped 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.
They deserted the Lord, the God of their forefathers, who had led them out of Egypt. They followed other gods, bowing down in worship to the gods of the peoples around them, making the Lord angry.
13 Angraeng to pahnawt o sut moe, Baal hoi Ashtoreth ih tok to sak pae o.
They deserted the Lord and worshiped Baal and Ashtaroth idols.
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.
Because the Lord was angry with Israel he handed them over to invaders who plundered them. He sold them to their enemies all around—enemies they could no longer resist.
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.
Whenever Israel went into battle, the Lord fought against them and defeated them, just as he had warned them and as he had vowed he would do. They were in a great deal of trouble.
16 Toe Angraeng mah lokcaekkungnawk to pathawk moe, nihcae to parokungnawk ban thung hoiah pahlong.
Then the Lord provided them with judges, who saved them from their invaders.
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.
But even so, they refused to listen to their judges, and prostituted themselves by following other gods, bowing down in worship to them. They quickly abandoned the way their forefathers had followed, and they did not obey the Lord's commandments as their forefathers had.
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.
When the Lord provided Israel with judges over Israel, he was with each judge and saved the people from their enemies during that judge's lifetime, because the Lord felt sorry for his people, who groaned under their oppressors and persecutors.
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 when the judge died, the people relapsed, and did worse things even than their forefathers, following other gods and worshiping them. They refused to give up what they were doing and held to their stubborn ways.
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,
As a result the Lord became angry with Israel and he told them, “Because this nation has broken the agreement I ordered their forefathers to obey, and has not paid attention to what I said,
21 Joshua duek pacoengah kanghmat kawbaktih prae kami doeh nihcae hmaa hoiah ka haek pae mak ai boeh:
from now on I won't drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left 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.
This is in order to use them to test Israel to see if they will keep the way of the Lord and follow it as their forefathers did.”
23 To pongah Angraeng mah to prae kaminawk to, karangah haek ai; nihcae to Joshua ban ah doeh paek ai, caeh taak sut.
This is the reason why the Lord allowed those nations to remain, and didn't immediately drive them out by handing them over to Joshua.
