Joshua said to all the people, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor. They served other gods.
3 Ahinla Keiman napuluiju Abraham chu Euphrate gallam akon chun Canaan gamma kahin puilutnin ahi. Keiman achapa Isaac’a konin chilhah tamtah kanapen ahi.
I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his offspring, and gave him Isaac.
4 Isaac chu Jacob le Esau kanapen ahi. Esau chu Seir molsang langchu kanapen, Jacob le achilhahte chu Egypt langa anache suh un ahi.
I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it. Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
5 Hiche jouchun Keiman Mose le Aaron kanasollin chuleh Egypt machun natset khohtah kana laansah in, hiche jouchun Keiman nangho chu chamlhat mite nahitheina diuvin kahin puidoh un ahi.
“‘I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did amongst them: and afterward I brought you out.
6 Ahinlah napu napa teohin twikhanglensan alhunphatnun, Egypt miten Sakol kangtalai jin nahin nungdel taovin ahi.
I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea. The Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and with horsemen to the Red Sea.
7 Hichun napu napa teuchu Pakai komma ahung penjah jeng phat nun nanghole Egypt te kikah a thim kana jinsah in, twikhanglen chu kana vallhun sahin, hitichun namitmu changtah un Egypt te chunga hitobanghi kana tongdoh in ahi. HIche jouchun gamthip noijah phatsottah nahung chengtaovin ahi.
When they cried out to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. You lived in the wilderness many days.
8 Ajona in Keiman nanghochu Jordan pang nisolamma cheng Amor mite gamsunga kahin puilut’un ahi. Amahon nangho chu nakisat piuvin ahinlah keiman amahochu namasangtah uva kasuhmang pehun ahi. Keiman amaho chunga galjona kapeuvin hitichun nanghon agamsungu nalo uvin nachen khum taovin ahi.
“‘I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand. You possessed their land, and I destroyed them from before you.
9 Hiche jouchun Moab lengpa Zippor chapa Balak chun Israel dounan gal ahin boltaovin ahi. Aman Be’or chapa Balaam chu nangho gaosap dingin ahin kouvin
Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you,
10 Ahinlah keiman kana noppeh pon, keiman Balaam chu nangho joh phatthei kanaboh sahtan, hitichun nangho chu Balak a kon in kana huhdoh tan ahi.
but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still. So I delivered you out of his hand.

“‘You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho. The men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
12 Keiman Amor lengteni delmang dingin nangho masang’ah khoise kanasol masan ahi. Nagaljonao chu nachem muleh nathalpi ahipon ahi.
I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.
13 Nathanat nao hilou gamchu kapeuvin chuleh nasah dohsao hilou khopiho kapeuvin nanghon tun nachenpha taovin ahi. Natusao hilou leh Olive gammang jong naneh diuvin kapeuvin ahi.
I gave you a land on which you had not laboured, and cities which you didn’t build, and you live in them. You eat of vineyards and olive groves which you didn’t plant.’
14 “Hijeh chun nalungthim pumpiuvin Pakai chu gingunlang akin bolluvin. Napu napateovin Euphrate vadung gallang Egypt ma anachenlai uva ana houvu semthu pathen hochu a itih a dingin paimang soh helluvin lang Pakai kin jengbou bollun.
“Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth. Put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, in Egypt; and serve the LORD.
15 Ahinlah hiche Pakai kin hi nabol nomlou helluva ahileh koikin nabol dinguham tunihin kilhen khen jenguvin. Euphrates gallanga napu napateo semthu pathen hochu nahou joh diuham? Ahilouleh tua nachennao gamsunga ana chengah Amor mite semthu pathen hojoh chu nahou diuham kilhen khen taovin. Keima leh kainsung miten vang a i-tihchan hijongleh Pakai kinchu kabol jing jeng dingu ahi,” ati.
If it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose today whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
16 Mipiten hitihin adonbut nuva, “Keihon itih hijongleh Pakai chu nungsunna semthu pathen dang kin kabollou heldiu ahi.
The people answered, “Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
17 Ajeh chu Pakai Pathen le keiholeh kapu kapateo Egypt gam sohchan na akonna eina huhdoh uva chu ahi. Aman datmo umthil kidang nasatah keiho mitmulah in ana bollin ahi. Keihon gamthipnoi melmate lah a lam kahin jotnaova hin aman eihin pui galkai uvah amabou ahi.
for it is the LORD our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and amongst all the peoples through the middle of whom we passed.
18 Hiche gamma anacheng Amor miteleh namdangho jouse eina nodoh peh uvah Pakai amabou ahi. Hijeh chun keihon jong ama kinbou kaboldiu ahi, ajeh chu amabou hi ka Pathennu ahi”.
The LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve the LORD; for he is our God.”
19 Hichun Joshua in mipiho chu agihsallin in hitin aseije, “Nanghon Pakai kinhi boljou pouvin nate, ajeh chu Pakai hi thengtah leh thangthip Pathen ahi. Aman nachonsetnao leh Ama nadou ah o jouse nangaidam pouvinte.
Joshua said to the people, “You can’t serve the LORD, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.
20 Ahin nanghon Pakai chu nanungsun uva semthu pathen dang kin nahin boljeng tah uva ahileh tumasangin nahin ngailulheh jengu jongleng, nangho douva hung pangding nahin suhmang dingu ahi” ati.
If you forsake the LORD, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after he has done you good.”
21 Ahinlah mipiho chun Joshua chu adonbut un, “Ahipoi keihon Pakai kinchu kabol teidiu ahi” atiuve.
The people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve the LORD.”
22 Joshua’n jong aseijin, “Nangho nathulhuhnao chunga nanh hole nangho ahettohsah nahiuve, nanghon Pakai kin bolding nakilhen taove” ati. Amahon adonbutnun, “Henge, keihon kathuseijuhi keiho mama ahetoh kahiuve,” atiuvin ahi.
Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD yourselves, to serve him.” They said, “We are witnesses.”
23 Joshua’n aseijin, “Aphai hute ahileh nalah uva milim semthuho chu sumang unlang Pakai na Pathennu langa chun kiheijun lang nalungthim pumpi peuvin,” ati.
“Now therefore put away the foreign gods which are amongst you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Israel.”
24 Mipite chun Joshua komma asejun, “Keihon, Pakai Pathen kinjong kaboldiu, ama thujengbou kangai diu ahi” atiuve.
The people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God, and we will listen to his voice.”
25 Hitichun Joshua’n hiche nikhochun Shechem’ah mipi chutoh kitep nakhat ana sem’un Pakai thupeh holeh adanthupeh hochu anit diuvin ana kitepsah in ahi.
So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
26 Joshua’n hiche hochu Pathen dan lekhabua anajihlut nin ahi. Chuleh hiche hetjingna dinga hin songlentah khat Pakai ponbun kom gangpi phungnoi ana tungdoh in ahi.
Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
27 Joshua’n mipiho kommah anaseije, “Pakaiyin eiho komma aseijouse chu hiche song hin ajasoh keijin ahi. Nangho Pakaija nakitep naova konna nanung chonnuva ahileh hichehi nangho douna-a hettohsah hiding ahi” ati.
Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us, for it has heard all the LORD’s words which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God.”
28 Hiche jouchun, Joshua’n mipihochu abonchan ainlam cheh a asoldohtan ahi.
So Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.
29 Hiche jouhin Pakai lhacha Nun chapa Joshua chu kum jakhat le somkhat alhinchun athitan ahi.
After these things, Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
30 Amahon ama gamchan dinga ana kipehna mun, Gaash mol sahlang Ephraim thinglhang gam Timnath-serah munnah anavui taovin ahi.
They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
31 Israel mipite chun, Joshua hinlaisen, chuleh Pakaiyin Israel tedinga anabol hojouse atahsa tah a hin hechen Joshua thinunga hingnalai upa ho hinlai sungsen Pakai kin phatah in ahin bollun ahi.
Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of the LORD, that he had worked for Israel.

They buried the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of silver. They became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
