Lawkcengkung 2
1 BAWIPA e kalvantami teh Gilgal kho hoi Bokhim kho a tho teh, na mintoenaw koe kai ni lawk ka kam e ram dawk Izip ram hoi kai ni na hrawi awh. Nangmouh hoi kai ni lawkkam ka sak e teh, ka raphoe boi mahoeh.
And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the [place of] weeping, and to Baethel, and to the house of Israel, and said to them, Thus says the Lord, I brought you up out of Egypt, and I brought you into the land which I sware to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant that I have made with you.
2 Nangmanaw teh hote ram dawk kaawm naw hoi huikonae na sak awh mahoeh. Ahnimae thuengnae khoungroenaw raphoe pouh awh ka ti ei, nangmouh ni ka lawk na ngâi awh hoeh. Bangkongmaw telah na sak awh.
And ye shall make no covenant with them that dwell in this land, neither shall ye worship their gods; but ye shall destroy their graven images, ye shall pull down their altars: but ye hearkened not to my voice, for ye did these things.
3 Hahoi bout a dei pouh e teh, ahnimanaw teh nangmouh hmalah ka pâlei mahoeh. Hatei, nangmouh na ka tuk e lah ao awh han. Ahnimae cathut teh nangmouh hanelah karap lah ao han atipouh.
And I said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be for a distress to you, and their gods shall be to you for an offence.
4 BAWIPA e kalvantami niyah, Isarelnaw koe telah a dei pouh toteh, taminaw pueng ni hramki laihoi a ka awh.
And it came to pass when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Hete hmuen teh, Bokhim a phung awh teh, BAWIPA koe thuengnae a sak awh.
And they named the name of that place Weepings; and they sacrificed there to the Lord.
6 Joshua ni taminaw a patoun toteh, Isarelnaw ni amamouh ni a ham awh hane ram koelah lengkaleng a cei awh.
And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his inheritance, to inherit the land.
7 Hote taminaw niteh, Joshua a hring nathung hoi, Joshua hnukkhu ka hring e a lungkahanaw, Isarelnaw hanlah BAWIPA ni a patoun teh, ka tawk e kahmawtnaw pueng ni teh, BAWIPA e thaw a tawk awh.
And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days with Joshua, as many as knew all the great work of the Lord, what things he had wrought in Israel.
8 Nun e capa Joshua, Bawipa e san teh, a kum 110 nah a due.
And Joshua the son of Naue, the servant of the Lord, died, a hundred and ten years old.
9 Ephraim mon, Gaash mon patung lah Timnath-heres thung amae râw a coe nahane hmuen koe a pakawp awh.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance, in Thamnathares, in mount Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaas.
10 Hatnae se dawk teh, tamipueng teh a na mintoenaw koe a pâkhueng awh. Hahoi, ahnimouh hnukkhu e ca catounnaw niteh, BAWIPA hai thoseh, Isarelnaw hanelah thaw a tawk pouh e naw hai thoseh panuek awh hoeh toe.
And all that generation were laid to their fathers: and another generation rose up after them, who knew not the Lord, nor yet the work which he wrought in Israel.
11 Hahoi teh, Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA mithmu vah hno kahawihoehe yonnae hah a sak awh teh, Baal a bawk awh toe.
And the children of Israel wrought evil before the Lord, and served Baalim.
12 Izip ram hoi ka tâcawtkhai e a na mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut hah a pahnawt awh. Atengpam kaawm e cathutnaw hnuk vah a kâbang awh teh, a hmalah a tabo pouh awh. BAWIPA teh a lung hoe a khuek sak awh.
And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and walked after other gods, of the gods of the nations round about them; and they worshipped them.
13 BAWIPA a pahnawt awh teh, Baal hoi Ashtaroth hah a bawk awh.
And they provoked the Lord, and forsook him, and served Baal and the Astartes.
14 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA lungkhueknae teh Isarelnaw koe a kâan teh, kahuencawnnaw kut dawk a poe teh, a tengpam e tarannaw kut dawk a yo teh, tarannaw hmalah bout kangdout thai awh hoeh.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and he gave them into the hands of the spoilers, and they spoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, and they could not any longer resist their enemies,
15 Ahnimouh teh a ceio awh nah tangkuem koe BAWIPA ni thoe a bo e patetlah a kut a nâ sin teh, hoe roedengnae hah a kâhmo sak.
among whomsoever they went; and the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord spoke, and as the Lord sware to them; and he greatly afflicted them.
16 Hahoi teh, BAWIPA ni kahuencawnnaw e kut dawk hoi hlout sak hanelah, lawkcengkungnaw a tâco sak.
And the Lord raised up judges, and the Lord save them out of the hands of them that spoiled them: and yet they hearkened not to the judges,
17 Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni lawkcengkungnaw e lawk hah ngâi kalawn awh hoeh. Alouke cathutnaw hoi a kâyo awh teh, a bawk awh.
for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them; and they turned quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked to hearken to the words of the Lord; they did not so.
18 A na mintoenaw ni kahring Cathut e kâpoelawknaw a tarawi awh e lamthung dawk hoi karanglah a phen awh. BAWIPA ni lawkcengkungnaw a tâco sak torei teh, ahnimouh hoi rei a okhai teh, a kut dawk ao yunglam, taran e kut dawk hoi Isarelnaw a hlout sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimanaw rektap hoi kâhram lawk BAWIPA ni a thai pouh toteh, bout a pahren.
And because the Lord raised them up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them.
19 Lawkcengkung ni a due takhai toteh, a na mintoenaw hlak hoe a mathoe awh teh, alouke cathut hnuk a kâbang awh teh a bawk awh. Amamae lunglenpansa lah onae lamthung ceitakhai han ngai awh hoeh.
And it came to pass when the judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted [themselves] worse than their fathers to go after other gods to serve them an to worship them: they abandoned not their devices nor their stubborn ways.
20 BAWIPA Cathut teh Isarelnaw koe puenghoi a lungkhuek teh, Hete taminaw ni ka lawk ngâi awh hoeh, a na mintoenaw koe lawk ka kam pouh e a raphoe awh toung dawkvah,
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and said, Forasmuch as this nation has forsaken my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not hearkened to my voice,
21 Joshua a due hnukkhu, a miphunnaw e hmalah hoi Kai ni ka pâlei pouh mahoeh toe.
therefore I will not any more cast out a man of the nations before their face, which Joshua the son of Naue left in the land. And [the Lord] left [them],
22 A na mintoenaw patetlah BAWIPA e lamthung hah a tarawi ou, tarawi hoeh ou tie panue nahan, Isarelnaw ma tanouk nahanelah, ahnimouh teh ka hno han telah a ti.
to prove Israel with them, whether they would keep the way of the Lord, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or no.
23 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hete miphunnaw vai touh haiyah, he pâlei laipalah, a tara teh, Joshua kut dawk hai poe hoeh.
So the Lord will leave these nations, so as not to cast them out suddenly; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
