Joshua 23
1 Kum phabep ache nungin Pakaiyin Israel mipite hi agal mihouva kon in akicholdo sahtan ahi. Joshua jong ateh lheh tan,
It happened after many days, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,
2 Aman Israel te upa hole lamkaiho thutan hole vaihom ho akoukhommin, aman amaho komma hitihin asije, “Tuhin keima kateh lhehtai,
that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, "I am old and well advanced in years.
3 Pakai Pathenin keima phat sunga hi itobang thil nabolpeh uham ti nanghon namusoh keijun ahi. Pakai naPathennin namelma teo gal nasat peh un ahi.
You have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the LORD your God who has fought for you.
4 Keiman imelma teo gam ilahsah houleh ihinlah dinghou nachen nao gam dingin kahin hoppeh taove agamsunghi Jordan vadunga pat na Mediterranean twikhanglen lhumlam gei ahi.
Look, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun.
5 Tun hichehi nangho gam hiding ahitai, ajeh chu na Pakai na Pathennu amatah in agamsung miho abonna nadeldoh pehdingu ahi. Nanghon agammuhi Pakai na Pathenun nateppeh banguva nalodiu ahitai.
And the LORD your God will himself thrust them out from before you, and drive them out of your sight, and he will send wild animals against them until he utterly destroys them and their kings from before you; and you will inherit their land, as the LORD your God spoke to you.
6 Hijeh chun Mose’n danbua anajihlut banga ichepi theina diuvin chingthei jep uhitin, hitia chu kijethei hihen lang kiveihei hijongleh ichekhel louna diuvin chingthei uhite.
Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left;
7 Hijeh chun hiche gamsunga um nalaiho lah a ilhah manglou nadiuvin dingdet uhite. Amaho semthu pathenho nahouthei loudiu le akinna jong nakimanchah loudiu, kihahselna a jong naman theiloudiu amin na amin ujong naphah poh theilou diu ahi.
that you not come among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves to them;
8 Amavang na Pakai na Pathen chu tunigeija dettah a nahin kolchah bang uva hi nakolchah jing ding ahi.
but hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.
9 Ajeh chu Pakaiyin nam hattah tahho nahin deldoh pehun koimachan nang hohi alonaje nahi pouvin ahi.
For the LORD has driven great and strong nations out from before you. But as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
10 Nangho mikhat seh injong misangkhat nadeljam theidiu ahi, ajeh chu Pakai na Pathennun akitepna bangin nagal’u nasatpeh taovin ahi.
One man of you shall chase a thousand; for the LORD your God is he who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
11 Hijeh chun na Pakai na Pathennu nangailut jing nadiuvin, chingtheijun,
And be very watchful of yourselves to love the LORD your God.
12 “Amavang nangho ama akonna nakihei manguva nalahuva nang hotoh umkhom namdangho chondan nalahuva amahotoh nakichento uva ahileh,
Else if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;
13 Hiteng chuleh nakihet diu chu Pakai na Pathenun amaho chu nanodoh pehloudiu ahitai. Hititah sanga chu amaho joh hi nakipal nadiuva nalhemlhauva hungpang diu, namit uva lingle khaova hungpang diu chuleh akhonnale Pakai na Pathenun napehnao gamphalaija konna delmanga nahung umdiu ahi.
know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
14 “Vannoi leiset chena dolla keimahi kahung thivah ding ahitai. Pakai na Pathennun akitepna jouse nasuhbukip taovin khatcha jong athonna aumpoi tihi nalung thimmu giltah in naheuve.
Look, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.
15 Ahinlah Pakai na Pathennun akitepna banga thilpha jouse napeh bang’uva hi, athu na ngailou uleh nachung uva hahsatna ahin lhunkhum sahdiu ahi. Aman gampha napeh naova konna hi nasuhmang diu ahi.
It shall happen that as all the good things have come on you of which the LORD your God spoke to you, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you,
16 Nanghon Pakai na Pathennu kitepna hi nanit lou uva semthu pathen ho nahin hou uva akin nahin bolluva ahileh nangho douna-a alunghan na mei hung koujah jengding chuteng lechun aman napehnao gampha tah a konna hi namahthah diu ahi.
when you disobey the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them. Then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you."
