Joshua 22

1 Joshua loh Reuben koca, Gad koca neh Manasseh koca hlangvang te koep a khue tih,

Then Ioshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh,

2 “BOEIPA kah sal Moses lohnangmih n'uen te boeih ngaithuen uh lamtah nang kang uen boeih dongah kai ol he hnatun uh.

And sayd vnto them, Ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lord commanded you, and haue obeied my voice in all that I commanded you:

3 Tihnin duela kum te yet na manuca rhoek te na hnoo uh pawt dongah BOEIPA na Pathen kah a kuek olpaek te na vai uh coeng.

You haue not forsaken your brethren this long season vnto this day, but haue diligently kept the commandement of the Lord your God.

4 Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih taengah a thui vanbangla na manuca rhoek te a duem sak coeng. Te dongah mael uh lamtah Jordan rhalvangan ah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh nangmih m'paek na dap, na lo, na khohut te paan uh laeh.

And nowe the Lord hath giuen rest vnto your brethren as he promised them: therefore nowe returne ye and goe to your tentes, to the land of your possession, which Moses the seruant of the Lord hath giuen you beyond Iorden.

5 Tedae BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh nangmih ng'uen olpaek neh olkhueng rhep saii ham, BOEIPA na Pathen lungnah ham neh a longpuei cungkuem ah pongpa ham, a olpaek ngaithuen ham neh a taengah rhep hmaiben ham, amah te na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih neh thothueng ham te khaw ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.

But take diligent heede, to doe the commandement and Lawe, which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you: that is, that ye loue the Lord your God, and walke in all his wayes, and keepe his commandements, and cleaue vnto him, and serue him with all your heart and with all your soule.

6 Amih te Joshua loh yoethen a paek tih a tueih daengah amamih kah dap te a paan uh.

So Ioshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went vnto their tents.

7 Manasseh koca rhakthuem te Moses loh Bashan ah a phaeng coeng tih rhakthuem te tah Joshua loh khotlak Jordan rhalvangan, rhalvangan ah a pacaboeina neh hmaih a phaeng. Joshua loh amih te amamih kah dap la a tueih vaengah khaw amih te yoethen a paek bal.

Nowe vnto one halfe of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had giuen a possession in Bashan: and vnto the other halfe thereof gaue Ioshua among their brethren on this side Iorden Westwarde: therefore when Ioshua sent them away vnto their tents, and blessed them,

8 Te vaengah amih te a thui pah tih, “Na dap te koeva neh a yet la boiva muep a yet nen khaw, cak nen khaw, sui nen khaw, rhohum nen khaw, thicung nen khaw, himbai nen khaw paan uh laeh. Na thunkha kah kutbuem muep aka yet te na manuca neh tael uh thae,” a ti nah.

Thus he spake vnto them, saying, Returne with much riches vnto your tents, and with a great multitude of cattell, with siluer and with golde, with brasse and with yron, and with great abundance of rayment: deuide the spoyle of your enemies with your brethren.

9 A mael uh vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca hlangvang loh Kanaan kho Shiloh kah Israel ca taeng lamloh nong uh tih Moses kut kah BOEIPA ol vanbangla khohut hmuen te buem ham, Gilead kho la cet uh.

So the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel from Shiloh (which is in the land of Canaan) to goe vnto the countrey of Gilead to the land of their possession, which they had obteyned, according to ye word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

10 Kanaan kho kah Jordan saa te a pha vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca rhakthuem tah Jordan ah hmueihtuk a suem uh. Te hmueihtuk te a mueimae la sang.

And when they came vnto the borders of Iorden (which are in the land of Canaan) then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh, built there an altar by Iorden, a great altar to see to.

11 Tedae Israel ca rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek neh Manasseh koca rhakthuem loh Kanaan kho kah imdan, Jordan saa, Israel ca rhoek kah khongan ah hmueihtuk a suem uh ke,” a ti uh.

When the children of Israel heard say, Beholde, the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh haue built an altar in the forefront of the lande of Canaan vpon the borders of Iorden at the passage of the children of Israel:

12 Israel ca rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah amih te caempuei neh paan thil ham Shiloh kah Israel ca rhaengpuei loh boeih tingtun uh.

When the children of Israel heard it, then the whole Congregation of the children of Israel gathered them together at Shiloh to goe vp to warre against them.

13 Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek loh Gilead kho kah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca rhakthuem taengla khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha te neh,

Then the children of Israel sent vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to ye halfe tribe of Manasseh into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest,

14 Israel koca imkhui boeih kah a napa, Israel ca thawngkhat imkhui kah a lu la aka om a napa rhoek lamkah khoboei khoboei neh khoboei parha te khaw a tueih uh.

And with him ten princes, of euery chiefe house a prince, according to all the tribes of Israel: for euery one was chiefe of their fathers housholde among the thousands of Israel.

15 Te dongah Gilead kho la a kun uh vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca rhakthuem te a voek uh.

So they went vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh, vnto the land of Gilead, and spake with them, saying,

16 BOEIPA kah hlangboel boeih taengah ah, “Mebang boekoek aih lam lae Israel Pathen taengah boe na koek uh tih tihnin ah BOEIPA hnuk lamkah na balkhong uh van he? Namamih kah hmueihtuk na suem uh neh tihnin ah BOEIPA te na tloelh uh.

Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, What transgression is this that ye haue transgressed against the God of Israel, to turne away this day from the Lord, in that ye haue built you an altar for to rebell this day against the Lord?

17 Peor kathaesainah te mamih ham a rhoeh moenih a? Tihnin kah BOEIPA hlangboel dongah tlohthae aka om he n'caihcil mahpawt a?

Haue we too litle for the wickednesse of Peor, whereof we are not clensed vnto this day, though a plague came vpon the Congregation of the Lord?

18 Tihnin ah nangmih loh BOEIPA hnuk lamkah na bal uh nama. Tihnin ah BOEIPA na tloelh thil uh he thangvuen ah Israel rheangpuei pum taengah a thintoek bitni.

Ye also are turned away this day from the Lord: and seeing ye rebell to day against ye Lord, euen to morowe he will be wroth with all the Congregation of Israel.

19 Na khohut diklai ni a rhalawt oeh atah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim loh a pai thil BOEIPA kah khohut diklai la ha kat uh lamtah kaimih saa dongkah he bawn uh mai saw. Tedae mamih Pathen BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk lakah namamih ham a tloe hmueihtuk na suem uh neh BOEIPA te tloelh thil uh boeh, kaimih khaw n'tloelh uh boeh.

Notwithstanding if the land of your possession be vncleane, come ye ouer vnto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lordes Tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among vs: but rebell not against the Lord, nor rebell not against vs in building you an altar, beside the altar of the Lord our God.

20 Yaehtaboeih neh boekoeknah la boe aka koek Zerah capa Akhan moenih a? Anih kathaesainah ah a thinhul loh Israel rhaengpuei boeih a tlak thil vaengah amah bueng hlang a pal moenih ko,” a ti uh.

Did not Achan ye sonne of Zerah trespasse grieuously in the execrable thing, and wrath fell on all the Congregation of Israel? and this man alone perished not in his wickednesse.

21 Te vaengah Israel thawngkhat kah a lu rhoek te Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek neh Manasseh koca rhakthuem loh a doo uh tih,

Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh answered, and saide vnto the heads ouer the thousands of Israel,

22 “Pathen rhoek kah Pathen, pathen rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen, Yahweh loh a ming, Israel long khaw ming saeh. BOEIPA taengah tloelhnah la om oeh tih boekoeknah la a om atah tihnin ah kaimih he n'hlun uh boeh.

The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel himselfe shall know: if by rebellion, or by transgression against ye Lord we haue done it, saue thou vs not this day.

23 BOEIPA hnuk lamloh balkhong ham hmueihtuk ka suem uh khaw, a soah khocang hmueihhlutnah ka nawn uh mai cakhaw, a soah rhoepnah hmueih ka nawn uh mai cakhaw BOEIPA amah loh thuep nawn saeh.

If we haue built vs an altar to returne away from the Lord, either to offer thereon burnt offering, or meate offering, or to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord himselfe require it:

24 Tedae olka dongah mawnnah ham a om pawt dongah ka saii he thui sih. Thangvuen ah nangmih ca rhoek loh kaimih ca rhoek taengah a thui vetih, “Nangmih taeng neh Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah balae a benbonah,” ti saeh.

And if we haue not rather done it for feare of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might say vnto our children, What haue ye to doe with the Lord God of Israel?

25 BOEIPA loh kaimih laklo neh nangmih laklo ah rhi a suem coeng. Reuben koca neh Gad koca, BOEIPA dongah Jordan te nangmih kah khoyo moenih. Te dongah nangmih koca loh BOEIPA aka rhih pawh kaimih ca rhoek te kangkuen sak saeh.

For the Lord hath made Iorden a border betweene vs and you, ye children of Reuben, and of Gad: therefore ye haue no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord.

26 Te dongah, “Hmueihtuk te sak ham mamih loh saii pawn sih, hmueihhlutnah ham moenih, hmueih ham moenih,” ka ti uh.

Therefore we said, We will nowe go about to make vs an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,

27 Te tah kaimih laklo neh nangmih laklo ah, mamih hnukkah mamih cadilcahma laklo ah laipai la om saeh. BOEIPA kah thothuengnah te a mikhmuh ah mamih kah hmueihhlutnah neh, mamih kah hmueih neh, mamih kah rhoepnah neh thothueng sih. Te daengah ni thangvuen ah na ca rhoek loh kaimih ca rhoek taengah, “BOEIPA dongah khoyo te nangmih ham moenih,” a ti uh pawt eh.

But it shall be a witnesse betweene vs and you, and betweene our generations after vs, to execute the seruice of the Lord before him in our burnt offerings, and in our sacrifices, and in our peace offerings, and that your children should not say to our children in time to come, Ye haue no part in the Lord.

28 Thangvuen ah kaimih taeng neh n'cadilcahma rhoek taengah a thui uh atah te te ana om mai saeh ka ti uh. Te vaengah, “A pa rhoek loh BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk muei a saii uh te hmueihhlutnah ham pawt tih hmueih ham bal moenih, tedae kaimih laklo neh nangmih laklo kah laipai ni tila hmuh uh,’ ka ti uh bitni.

Therefore said we, If so be that they should so say to vs or to our generations in time to come, then will we answere, Beholde the facion of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but it is a witnesse betweene vs and you.

29 BOEIPA te tloelh ham neh tihnin ah BOEIPA hnuk lamloh taengphael ham, a dungtlungim hmaikah mamih Pathen BOEIPA hmueihtuk phoeiah hmueihhlutnah ham, khocang ham neh hmueih ham hmueihtuk suem te kaimih nen tah savisava,” a ti uh.

God forbid, that we should rebell against the Lord, and turne this day away from the Lord to builde an altar for burnt offering, or for meate offering, or for sacrifice, saue the altar of the Lord our God, that is before his Tabernacle.

30 Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek neh Manasseh ca rhoek kah a thui uh ol te khosoih Phinekha neh rhaengpuei kah khoboei rhoek, anih taengah aka om Israel ca thawngkhat kah a lu loh a yaak uh vaengah a mik cop uh.

And when Phinehas the Priest, and the princes of the Congregation and heads ouer the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the wordes, that the children of Reuben, and children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spake, they were well content.

31 Te dongah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh ca rhoek te, Khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha loh, “BOEIPA te boekoeknah la boe na koek pawt tih Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA kut lamkah na huul uh coeng dongah BOEIPA loh mamih lakli ah om tila tihnin ah m'ming uh,” a ti nah.

And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest said vnto the children of Reuben and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceiue, that the Lord is among vs, because ye haue not done this trespasse against the Lord: nowe ye haue deliuered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.

32 Te daengah Gilead kho kah khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha, Reuben ca rhoek neh Gad ca rhoek lamkah khoboei rhoek te Kanaan kho kah Israel ca rhoek taengla bal uh tih olka te a khuen uh.

Then Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest with the princes returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, vnto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them answere.

33 Ol te khaw Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a then coeng dongah Israel ca rhoek kah Pathen te a thangthen uh. Te dongah amih taengah caempuei la caeh ham, a khuikah khosa rhoek Reuben ca rhoek neh Gad ca rhoek kah khohmuen phae ham te thui uh voel pawh.

And the saying pleased the children of Israel: and the children of Israel blessed God, and minded not to goe against them in battell, for to destroy the land, wherein the children of Reuben, and Gad dwelt.

34 Hmueihtuk te khaw Reuben ca rhoek neh Gad ca rhoek loh, “Kaimih laklo ah aka om BOEIPA Pathen kah laipai ni,”tila a sak uh.

Then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witnesse betweene vs, that the Lord is God.
