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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 He ol he BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Israel ca rhoek boeih taengah a thui vaengah pilnam loh a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh.
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 Te dongah tekah hmuen te Bokim tila ming a sak uh tih BOEIPA te pahoi a nawn uh.
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 loh pilnam te a tueih daengah, Isreal ca rhoek loh a rho te rhip a paan uh tih khohmuen te a huul uh.
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 Joshua tue boeih neh Joshua phoeikah hinglung aka vang a hamca rhoek, Israel ham a len la a saii pah BOEIPA bibi boeih aka hmu rhoek kah a tue khuiah tah pilnam loh BOEIPA taengah tho a thuenguh.
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 BOEIPA kah sal Joshua, Nun capa Joshua tah ya neh kum rha a lo ca vaengah duek.
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
9 Anih te Gaash tlang, tlangpuei Ephraim tlang Timnathkhehres kah amah rho rhi ah a up uh.
And they buried him in the parts of his possession at Timnath-Serah, on Mount Ephraim, before the northern side of Mount Gaash.
10 Te vaengkah cadilcahma boeih loh a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh tih amih hnukah aka poe cadilcahma long tah BOEIPA khaw, Israel ham a saii pah bibi te ming uh pawh.
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 ca rhoek loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh tih Baal te tho a thueng thiluh.
And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served the Baals.
12 A napa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen, Egypt kho lamkah amih aka khuen te a hnoo uh. A kaepvai kah pilnam pathen, pathen tloe rhoek kah a hnuk te a vai uh tih a bakop thil uh dongah BOEIPA te a veet uh.
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 BOEIPA te a hnoo uh. Baal neh Ashtoreth taengah tho a thuenguh.
forsaking him, and serving Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 BOEIPA kah thintoek loh Israel taengah sai tih aka tuk aka vat rhoek kut ah a tloeng dongah amih te a reth uh. Amih te kaepvai kah a thunkha rhoek kut ah a yoih coeng dongah a thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah koep pai uh thai voel pawh.
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 BOEIPA loh a thui tih amih taengah BOEIPA loh a caeng vanbangla a caeh uh takuem ah BOEIPA kut loh amih taengah yoethaenah la a om pah tih amih te mat a daengdaeh.
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 Tedae lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a phoe sak dongah amih aka tuk aka vat kut lamloh amih a khang la om.
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 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 koeloe a phaelh uh tih BOEIPA olpaek hnatun ham he saii uh pawh.
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 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 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 Tedae lai aka tloek te a duek vaengah tah mael uh bal tih a napa rhoek lakah taoe poci uh. Amih taengah thothueng ham neh amih te bawk ham a tloe pathen hnukah pongpa uh. A khoboe neh a mangkhak longpuei te voei uh pawh.
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 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 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 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.
And so, I will not destroy the nations that Joshua left behind when he died,
22 Israel loh BOEIPA kah longpuei a ngaithuen tih a khuiah pongpa ham te a napa rhoek kah a ngaithuen bangla a ngaithuen pawt khaw amih te a noem.
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 Te dongah BOEIPA loh namtom rhoek te koeloe a haek kolla a paih tih Joshua kut ah tloeng pah pawh.
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.
