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 the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said: '...I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said: I will never break My covenant 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 the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars; but ye have not hearkened unto My voice; what is this ye have done?
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 also said: I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be unto you as snares, and their gods shall be a trap unto you.'
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 unto 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 called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
6 Joshua ni taminaw a patoun toteh, Isarelnaw ni amamouh ni a ham awh hane ram koelah lengkaleng a cei awh.
Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess 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 outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD, that He had wrought for Israel.
8 Nun e capa Joshua, Bawipa e san teh, a kum 110 nah a due.
And Joshua 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 border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
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 also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, that knew not the LORD, nor yet the work which He had wrought 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the 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, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and worshipped them; and they provoked the LORD.
13 BAWIPA a pahnawt awh teh, Baal hoi Ashtaroth hah a bawk awh.
And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
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 anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and He gave them over into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before 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.
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn unto them; and they were sore distressed.
16 Hahoi teh, BAWIPA ni kahuencawnnaw e kut dawk hoi hlout sak hanelah, lawkcengkungnaw a tâco sak.
And the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni lawkcengkungnaw e lawk hah ngâi kalawn awh hoeh. Alouke cathutnaw hoi a kâyo awh teh, a bawk awh.
And yet they hearkened not unto their judges, for they went astray after other gods, and worshipped them; they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments 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 when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repented the LORD because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and crushed 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.
But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to worship them; they left nothing undone of their practices, nor of their stubborn way.
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 anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and He said: 'Because this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto My voice;
21 Joshua a due hnukkhu, a miphunnaw e hmalah hoi Kai ni ka pâlei pouh mahoeh toe.
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua 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 by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.'
23 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hete miphunnaw vai touh haiyah, he pâlei laipalah, a tara teh, Joshua kut dawk hai poe hoeh.
So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered He them into the hand of Joshua.
