Joshua 1
1 BAWIPA Cathut e san Mosi a due hnukkhu Mosi e yueng lah thaw ka tawk han e, Nun capa Joshua teh, BAWIPA Cathut ni,
Now after the death of His servant Moses, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying,
2 Kaie ka san Mosi te a due toe. Hatdawkvah nama hoi na taminaw pueng atu thaw awh nateh Jordan palang namran lah rakat awh leih. Isarel miphunnaw kai ni na poe e ram dawk kâen sak leih.
“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel.
3 Mosi koe lawk ka kam e patetlah nang ni na coungroe e talai pueng teh nangmouh na poe han.
I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.
4 Kahrawng pueng hoi Lebanon mon koehoi, Euphrates palangpui koehoi Hitnaw e ram abuemlah hoi, kanîloumlah tuipui totouh nangmae ram lah ao han.
Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea.
5 Na hringyung thung pueng nange na hmalah apihai kangdout thai mahoeh. Mosi koe kai ka o e patetlah nang koehai kai ka o han. Kai ni na pahnawt mahoeh, na cetkhai mahoeh.
No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
6 Tha kâlat nateh, taranhawi haw. Mintoenaw koe na poe han ka tie kai ni lawk ka kam e ramnaw hah râw lah a coe awh nahanlah na rei han.
Be strong and courageous, for you shall give these people the inheritance of the land that I swore to their fathers I would give them.
7 Hatdawkvah kaie ka san Mosi koe ka poe e kâlawk pueng tarawi nahanelah, tha kâlat nateh, taranhawinae tawn haw. Na ceinae tangkuem koe tânae na hmu thai nahan, avoilah aranglah phen hanh.
Above all, be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper wherever you go.
8 Hote kâlawk cauk dawk thut e pueng heh na tarawi thai na hanelah, Cakathoung hah touk laipalah awm hanh. Karum khodai pout laipalah luepluep na pouk han. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, nang ni kho na khang e dawk tânae na hmu han.
This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.
9 Nang teh kai ni lawk na thui nahoehmaw. Tha kâlat nateh taranhawinae tawn haw, taket hanh, na lungpout hanh. Na cei nah tangkuem koe nang hoi rei ka o atipouh.
Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
10 Hahoi Joshua ni kahrawikungnaw hah a kaw teh,
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people:
11 Ransanaw a onae tangkuem koe cet awh. Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe awh e ram thung kâen awh nahanelah, hnin thum touh thung hete Jordan palang namran lah raka hanelah ao dawkvah, lamvon sin hanelah taminaw hah patuen dei pouh leih telah lawk a thui.
“Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’”
12 Hahoi Joshua ni Reuben miphun, Gad miphun, Manasseh miphun, tangawn hah a kaw teh,
But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
13 BAWIPA Cathut e san Mosi ni nangmanaw lawk na thui e heh pahnim awh hanh. Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh hanelah hete ram thung hmuen na ta pouh awh toe.
“Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’
14 Na yunaw na canaw, hoi saringnaw hah Jordan palang kanîtholah Mosi ni na poe e ram thung ao awh han. Hateiteh, senehmaica ka patuem e a thakaawme na hmaunawngha ransanaw pueng e hmalah na raka vaiteh, ahnimanaw hah na kabawp han.
Your wives, your young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and help them,
15 Cathut ni nangmanaw hmuen na ta pouh e patetlah hmaunawnghanaw hah hmuen na poe awh hoehnahlan nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe awh e ram heh, ahnimanaw ni ram be a la hoehroukrak, a tha kaawm e, taran ka tuk e abuemlah ni senehmaica patuep nalaihoi hmaunawnghanaw e hmalah a raka awh vaiteh, na tawmdawm han tie lawk hah pouk awh. Cathut e san Mosi ni Jordan palang Kanîtholae ram koe lah bout na ban han atipouh.
until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”
16 Hottelah, ahnimouh nihai, nang ni na dei e pueng teh, kaimouh ni ka sak awh han na patoun e pueng koe ka sak awh han.
So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.
17 Bang pueng dawk hai Mosi e lawk ka ngâi awh e patetlah nange lawk ka ngâi awh han. Hatdawkvah nange BAWIPA Cathut ni Mosi koe a okhai e patetlah nang koe haiyah awm van lawiseh.
Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.
18 Nange kâ ka ek e tami pueng hoi nange lawk ka ngaihoeh e tami pueng, nange kâlawk ka tapoe e tami pueng teh thei lah ao han. Hatdawkvah, tha kâlat nateh na taranhawi hottelah Joshua koe bout atipouh awh.
Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”
