< Thutan Vaihom Ho 2 >
1 Pakai Vantil chu Gilgala kon in ahung kaltouvin Bokima Israelte henga hitin ahung seiyin, “Keiman nangho hi Egypt gama kona kahin puidoh uva, napu napateo pehdia kana kihahselna gam chu kahinlhut nahi tauve, chule Keiman kaseiyin ‘Itihchan hijongleh kaki tepna chu kasuh keh louhel ding ahi,” tin kanaseiye.
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 Hiche gamsunga nachen lut tenguleh, hiche gama cheng hotoh khun kitepna nasem theilou heldiu, amavang amaicham semna munhou nasuhmang peh johdiu ahi. Chule nanghon kathupeh nanit pouvin nangaipouve. Ipi dinga hitia hi um’ah nahiuvem?
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 Hijeh chun keiman nagam sung’uva chengho kadeldoh pehlou diu, ama hohi nangho dinga nasuboi jinguva pangdiu, chule a-pathen houhi nangho dinga lhepna a pang jingdiu ahi.”
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 Pakai, Vantil chun Israelte koma athusei chu achaiphat in mipi chu akapjah jengun ahi.
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 Hijeh chun hiche munchu amin Bokim asah un (Hichu kana) tina ahi. Hichea chun amahon Pakaiya kilhaina ana sem’un ahi.
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’n amaho chu alhahdoh phat in, ama ama phungho cheh in agoulo mun agamsung cheh toupha ding in ache tauvin ahi.
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 Chule Israel mipi abon chauvin Joshua hinlai sungse leh Joshua sanga hingsotjo gollui upa ho Pakai thilbol loupi tahtah ho anabol, amittah’a ana muho hinlai sungse chun Israelten Pakai kinchu anabol un ahi.
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 Pakai lhacha Nun chapa Joshua chu kum jakhat le som alhin-in ana thitan ahi.
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
9 Amahon Gash mol sahlang Ephraim thinglhang gam, ama ana kipehna Timnath-serah gama chun anavui tauvin ahi.
And they buried him in the parts of his possession at Timnath-Serah, on Mount Ephraim, before the northern side of Mount Gaash.
10 Joshua khanga miho athisoh hel phat’un, Israel khangthah ahung kisepdoh ho chun Pathen’in Israelte dinga thil thupi tahtah ana boldoh peh holeh, Ama jeng jong hepha le gelpha aum tapouve.
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 Hichephat hin Israelten Pakai mitmun thilphalou tahtah ana boldoh tauvin, chule Baal doi-lim semthu hochu anahou tauve.
And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served the Baals.
12 Egypt gama kona ahin puidoh uva apu apateu Pakai, Pathen chu ana nungsun tauvin, amahon pathen dangho nung anajuiyun aveluva cheng mite pathen hochu anahoujo tauvin ahi. Hichun Pakai ana lunghan sahlheh jeng in ahi.
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 Amahon Pakai chu ana nungsun uva Baal leh Ashtoreth semthu pathen hojoh anahou tauvin ahi.
forsaking him, and serving Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 Hiche hin Pakai chu Israel chunga nasatah in ana lunghan sahtan, hijeh chun Pakaiyin amaho chu michom-gamte khut’ah apedoh tan Israelte chu anachom tauve; chule Pakaiyin amaho chu akimveluva cheng agalmi hou khut’ah ana pedoh tauvin, hijeh chun Israelte chu agalmiteu ana-tingjou tapouvin ahi.
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 Israel’ten amaho kisatpi dinga akondoh chan’un Pakaiyin amaho dounan gal asat jitan, Aman ana gihna bang chun, gal alelsah jitauvin ahileh amaho chu ana lungkham lheh jeng un ahi.
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 Chuin Pakaiyin Israelte chu ahindel khum houva kona, ahuhdoh ding'un thutan vaihom ho ana tundoh peh'uvin ahi.
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 Ahivang'in Israel’ten thutan vaihom ho thu ngailouvin, pathen dangho houna in numei kijoh ho bangin anachon tauvin, Pakai thupeh dungjuiya anachon apu apateu chonna lampia kona i-atileh ana kihei mangloichal jiuva ham?
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 Pakaiyin thutan vaihom ho Israelte chunga atundoh komleh thutan vaihom ho chu ana mangchajin, amaho hinlai sung chun agalmi houva kon in ana huhdoh jiuvin ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin a-engbolna leh thohgimna thoh amipite chu akhoto jin ahi.
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 Ahinlah thutan vaihom ho athi tenguleh, amipite chu achonnau dihlounau lampia akinungle kit jiuvin, amahon pathen dang ana jui jiuvin, ajenle in anapangun chujongle ana hou jiuvin ahi. Hiti chun thildihlou abol-hou chu alouchal jeh un anapaidoh nomji pouvin ahi.
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 Hijeh chun Pakai chu Israel chung’ah nasatah in analung hang jin, Pakaiyin hitin anaseiye, “Ajeh chu kamiten apu apateu toh kitepna kana semchu asukeh un chule kathupeh jong nahsah louvin akoi tauvin ahi.
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 Keiman, Joshua'n athichan geija jousoh louva anadalhah nam mite chu kadeldoh pehlou ding ahitai.
And so, I will not destroy the nations that Joshua left behind when he died,
22 Israelte apu apateuvin Pakai nung anajui banguva ajuiyuvam ajuilou uham ti, patepna keiman hichehi kabol ahi.” ati.
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 Hiche jeh achu Pakaiyin hiche nam mite chu deldoh louva, Joshua chu abona anajosah lou ahi.
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.
