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 weepers, and said: I made you go out of Egypt, and have brought you into the land for which I swore to your fathers: and I promised that I would not make void my covenant with you for ever:
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.
On condition that you should not make a league with the inhabitants of this land, but should throw down their altars: and you would not hear my voice: why have you done this?
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.
Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face: that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin.
4 BAWIPA e kalvantami niyah, Isarelnaw koe telah a dei pouh toteh, taminaw pueng ni hramki laihoi a ka awh.
And when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Hete hmuen teh, Bokhim a phung awh teh, BAWIPA koe thuengnae a sak awh.
And the name of that place was called, The place of weepers, or of tears: and there they offered sacrifices 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 Josue sent away the people, and the children of Israel went every one to his own possession to hold it:
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 they served the Lord all his days, and the days of the ancients, that lived a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 Nun e capa Joshua, Bawipa e san teh, a kum 110 nah a due.
And Josue the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being 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 borders of his possession in Thamnathsare in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount 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 was gathered to their fathers: and there arose others that knew not the Lord, and the works which he had done for 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 did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they 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 left the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt: and they followed strange gods, and the gods of the people that dwelt round about them, and they adored them: and they provoked the Lord to anger.
13 BAWIPA a pahnawt awh teh, Baal hoi Ashtaroth hah a bawk awh.
Forsaking him, and serving Baal and Astaroth.
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 being angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers: who took them and sold them to their enemies, that dwelt round about: neither could they stand against 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.
But whithersoever they meant to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, as he had said, and as he had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Hahoi teh, BAWIPA ni kahuencawnnaw e kut dawk hoi hlout sak hanelah, lawkcengkungnaw a tâco sak.
And the Lord raised up judges, to deliver them from the hands of those that oppressed them: but they would not hearken to them,
17 Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni lawkcengkungnaw e lawk hah ngâi kalawn awh hoeh. Alouke cathutnaw hoi a kâyo awh teh, a bawk awh.
Committing fornication with strange gods, and adoring them. They quickly forsook the way, in which their fathers had walked: and hearing the commandments of the Lord, they did all things contrary.
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 when the Lord raised them up judges, in their days he was moved to mercy, and heard the groanings of the afflicted, and delivered them from the slaughter of the oppressors.
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.
But after the judge was dead, they returned, and did much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them and adoring them. They left not their own inventions, and the stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
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 wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he said: Behold this nation hath made void my covenant, which I had made with their fathers, and hath despised to hearken to my voice:
21 Joshua a due hnukkhu, a miphunnaw e hmalah hoi Kai ni ka pâlei pouh mahoeh toe.
I also will not destroy the nations which Josue left, when he died:
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.
That through them I may try Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.
23 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hete miphunnaw vai touh haiyah, he pâlei laipalah, a tara teh, Joshua kut dawk hai poe hoeh.
The Lord therefore left all these nations, and would not quickly destroy them, neither did he deliver them into the hands of Josue.
