< Judges 2 >
1 And the agent of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers. And I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
BOEIPA puencawn te Gilgal lamloh Bokim la cet tih, “Na pa rhoek taengah ka caeng vanbangla nangmih te Egypt lamkah kan doek tih nangmih he khohmuen khuila kang kun puei coeng. Te dongah, 'Nangmih taengkah ka paipi te kumhal duela ka phae mahpawh.
2 And ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. Ye shall break down their altars. But ye have not hearkened to my voice. Why have ye done this?
Tedae khohmuen kah khosa rhoek neh paipi na saii uh mahpawh. A hmueihtuk te palet pa uh,’ ka ti lalah ka ol na ngai kolla bahamlae he he saii uh?
3 Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
Te dongah, 'Amih te na mikhmuh lamkah ka haek voel pawt vetih voeivang ah nangmih taengah kho a sak uh ni, amih kah pathen nangmih taengah hlaeh la om uh ni,’ ka ti coeng,” a ti.
4 And it came to pass, when the agent of Jehovah spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
He ol he BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Israel ca rhoek boeih taengah a thui vaengah pilnam loh a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to Jehovah.
Te dongah tekah hmuen te Bokim tila ming a sak uh tih BOEIPA te pahoi a nawn uh.
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the sons of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
Joshua loh pilnam te a tueih daengah, Isreal ca rhoek loh a rho te rhip a paan uh tih khohmuen te a huul uh.
7 And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Jehovah that he had wrought for Israel.
Joshua tue boeih neh Joshua phoeikah hinglung aka vang a hamca rhoek, Israel ham a len la a saii pah BOEIPA bibi boeih aka hmu rhoek kah a tue khuiah tah pilnam loh BOEIPA taengah tho a thuenguh.
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
BOEIPA kah sal Joshua, Nun capa Joshua tah ya neh kum rha a lo ca vaengah duek.
9 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.
Anih te Gaash tlang, tlangpuei Ephraim tlang Timnathkhehres kah amah rho rhi ah a up uh.
10 And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them that did not know Jehovah, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel.
Te vaengkah cadilcahma boeih loh a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh tih amih hnukah aka poe cadilcahma long tah BOEIPA khaw, Israel ham a saii pah bibi te ming uh pawh.
11 And the sons of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim.
Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh tih Baal te tho a thueng thiluh.
12 And they forsook Jehovah, 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 bowed themselves down to them. And they provoked Jehovah to anger.
A napa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen, Egypt kho lamkah amih aka khuen te a hnoo uh. A kaepvai kah pilnam pathen, pathen tloe rhoek kah a hnuk te a vai uh tih a bakop thil uh dongah BOEIPA te a veet uh.
13 And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
BOEIPA te a hnoo uh. Baal neh Ashtoreth taengah tho a thuenguh.
14 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them. And he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
BOEIPA kah thintoek loh Israel taengah sai tih aka tuk aka vat rhoek kut ah a tloeng dongah amih te a reth uh. Amih te kaepvai kah a thunkha rhoek kut ah a yoih coeng dongah a thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah koep pai uh thai voel pawh.
15 Wherever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had spoken, and as Jehovah had sworn to them. And they were exceedingly distressed.
BOEIPA loh a thui tih amih taengah BOEIPA loh a caeng vanbangla a caeh uh takuem ah BOEIPA kut loh amih taengah yoethaenah la a om pah tih amih te mat a daengdaeh.
16 And Jehovah raised up judges who saved them out of the hand of those who despoiled them.
Tedae lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a phoe sak dongah amih aka tuk aka vat kut lamloh amih a khang la om.
17 And yet they did not hearken to their judges, for they played the harlot after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Jehovah. They did not do so.
Tedae amih kah lai aka tloek te khaw hnatang uh pawh. Te dongah pathen tloe rhoek taengah cukhalh uh tih amih taengah bakop uh. A napa rhoek kah a pongpa nah longpuei te koeloe a phaelh uh tih BOEIPA olpaek hnatun ham he saii uh pawh.
18 And when Jehovah raised up judges for them, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. For Jehovah regretted because of their groaning because of those who oppressed them and vexed them.
Amih ham lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a phoe sak vaengah khaw lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a om puei. Amih aka nen tih amih aka huet mikhmuh ah a nguekcoinah te BOEIPA khaw hal tih lai aka tloek kah a tue khuiah tah a thunkha kut lamloh amih te a khang.
19 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 bow down to them. They did not cease from their doings, nor from their stubborn way.
Tedae lai aka tloek te a duek vaengah tah mael uh bal tih a napa rhoek lakah taoe poci uh. Amih taengah thothueng ham neh amih te bawk ham a tloe pathen hnukah pongpa uh. A khoboe neh a mangkhak longpuei te voei uh pawh.
20 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not hearkened to my voice,
Te dongah BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh Israel taengah sai tih, “A napa rhoek ham ka uen, ka paipi te namtu loh a poe tih kai ol hnatun uh pawh.
21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died,
Namtom lamkah te amih mikhmuh ah hlang haek hamla ka koei mahpawh. Te te Joshua loh a hnoo tih amah khaw duek coeng,” a ti.
22 that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.
Israel loh BOEIPA kah longpuei a ngaithuen tih a khuiah pongpa ham te a napa rhoek kah a ngaithuen bangla a ngaithuen pawt khaw amih te a noem.
23 So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out quickly. Neither did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh namtom rhoek te koeloe a haek kolla a paih tih Joshua kut ah tloeng pah pawh.
