Laitloekkung 2
1 BOEIPA puencawn te Gilgal lamloh Bokim la cet tih, “Na pa rhoek taengah ka caeng vanbangla nangmih te Egypt lamkah kan doek tih nangmih he khohmuen khuila kang kun puei coeng. Te dongah, 'Nangmih taengkah ka paipi te kumhal duela ka phae mahpawh.
Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:
2 Tedae khohmuen kah khosa rhoek neh paipi na saii uh mahpawh. A hmueihtuk te palet pa uh,’ ka ti lalah ka ol na ngai kolla bahamlae he he saii uh?
And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?
3 Te dongah, 'Amih te na mikhmuh lamkah ka haek voel pawt vetih voeivang ah nangmih taengah kho a sak uh ni, amih kah pathen nangmih taengah hlaeh la om uh ni,’ ka ti coeng,” a ti.
And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.
4 He ol he BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Israel ca rhoek boeih taengaha thui vaengah pilnam loh a ola huel uh tih rhap uh.
Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.
5 Te dongah tekah hmuen te Bokim tila minga sak uh tih BOEIPA te pahoi a nawn uh.
And they gave that place the name of Bochim, and made offerings there to the Lord.
6 Joshua loh pilnam tea tueih daengah, Isreal ca rhoek loh a rho te rhipa paan uh tih khohmuen tea huul uh.
And Joshua let the people go away, and the children of Israel went, every man to his heritage, to take the land for themselves.
7 Joshua tue boeih neh Joshua phoeikah hinglung aka vanga hamca rhoek, Israel hama len la a saii pah BOEIPA bibi boeih aka hmu rhoek kah a tue khuiah tah pilnam loh BOEIPA taengah tho a thuenguh.
And the people were true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the responsible men who were still living after the death of Joshua, and had seen all the great work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.
8 BOEIPA kah sal Joshua, Nun capa Joshua tah ya neh kum rha a lo ca vaengah duek.
And death came to Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, he being a hundred and ten years old.
9 Anih te Gaash tlang, tlangpuei Ephraim tlang Timnathkhehres kah amah rho rhi aha up uh.
And they put his body in the earth in the land of his heritage in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim to the north of Mount Gaash.
10 Te vaengkah cadilcahma boeih loh a napa rhoek taenglaa khoem uh tih amih hnukah aka poe cadilcahma long tah BOEIPA khaw, Israel hama saii pah bibi te ming uh pawh.
And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.
11 Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thaea saii uh tih Baal te tho a thueng thiluh.
And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord and became servants to the Baals;
12 A napa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen, Egypt kho lamkah amih aka khuen tea hnoo uh. A kaepvai kah pilnam pathen, pathen tloe rhoek kah a hnuk te a vai uh tiha bakop thil uh dongah BOEIPA tea veet uh.
And they gave up the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had taken them out of the land of Egypt, and went after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about them, worshipping them and moving the Lord to wrath.
13 BOEIPA tea hnoo uh. Baal neh Ashtoreth taengah tho a thuenguh.
And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.
14 BOEIPA kah thintoek loh Israel taengah sai tih aka tuk aka vat rhoek kut aha tloeng dongah amih tea reth uh. Amih te kaepvai kah a thunkha rhoek kut aha yoih coeng dongah a thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah koep pai uh thai voel pawh.
And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of those who violently took their property, and into the hands of their haters all round them, so that they were forced to give way before them.
15 BOEIPA loh a thui tih amih taengah BOEIPA loh a caeng vanbanglaa caeh uh takuem ah BOEIPA kut loh amih taengah yoethaenah laa om pah tih amih te mata daengdaeh.
Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.
16 Tedae lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a phoe sak dongah amih aka tuk aka vat kut lamloh amiha khang la om.
Then the Lord gave them judges, as their saviours from the hands of those who were cruel to them.
17 Tedae amih kah lai aka tloek te khaw hnatang uh pawh. Te dongah pathen tloe rhoek taengah cukhalh uh tih amih taengah bakop uh. A napa rhoek kah a pongpa nah longpuei te koeloea phaelh uh tih BOEIPA olpaek hnatun ham he saii uh pawh.
But still they would not give ear to their judges, but went after other gods and gave them worship; quickly turning from the way in which their fathers had gone, keeping the orders of the Lord; but they did not do so.
18 Amih ham lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a phoe sak vaengah khaw lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a om puei. Amih aka nen tih amih aka huet mikhmuh ah a nguekcoinah te BOEIPA khaw hal tih lai aka tloek kah a tue khuiah tah a thunkha kut lamloh amih te a khang.
And whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to them.
19 Tedae lai aka tloek tea duek vaengah tah mael uh bal tih a napa rhoek lakah taoe poci uh. Amih taengah thothueng ham neh amih te bawk hama tloe pathen hnukah pongpa uh. A khoboe neh a mangkhak longpuei te voei uh pawh.
But whenever the judge was dead, they went back and did more evil than their fathers, going after other gods, to be their servants and their worshippers; giving up nothing of their sins and their hard-hearted ways.
20 Te dongah BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh Israel taengah sai tih, “A napa rhoek ham ka uen, ka paipi te namtu loh a poe tih kai ol hnatun uh pawh.
And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;
21 Namtom lamkah te amih mikhmuh ah hlang haek hamla ka koei mahpawh. Te te Joshua loh a hnoo tih amah khaw duek coeng,” a ti.
From now on I will not go on driving out from before them any of the nations which at the death of Joshua were still living in this land;
22 Israel loh BOEIPA kah longpueia ngaithuen tih a khuiah pongpa ham te a napa rhoek kah a ngaithuen bangla a ngaithuen pawt khaw amih tea noem.
In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.
23 Te dongah BOEIPA loh namtom rhoek te koeloea haek kollaa paih tih Joshua kut ah tloeng pah pawh.
So the Lord let those nations go on living in the land, not driving them out quickly, and did not give them up into the hands of Joshua.
