< 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.
Pakai Vantil chu Gilgala kon in ahung kaltouvin Bokima Israelte henga hitin ahung seiyin, “Keiman nangho hi Egypt gama kona kahin puidoh uva, napu napateo pehdia kana kihahselna gam chu kahinlhut nahi tauve, chule Keiman kaseiyin ‘Itihchan hijongleh kaki tepna chu kasuh keh louhel ding ahi,” tin kanaseiye.
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?
Hiche gamsunga nachen lut tenguleh, hiche gama cheng hotoh khun kitepna nasem theilou heldiu, amavang amaicham semna munhou nasuhmang peh johdiu ahi. Chule nanghon kathupeh nanit pouvin nangaipouve. Ipi dinga hitia hi um’ah nahiuvem?
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.
Hijeh chun keiman nagam sung’uva chengho kadeldoh pehlou diu, ama hohi nangho dinga nasuboi jinguva pangdiu, chule a-pathen houhi nangho dinga lhepna a pang jingdiu ahi.”
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.
Pakai, Vantil chun Israelte koma athusei chu achaiphat in mipi chu akapjah jengun ahi.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to Jehovah.
Hijeh chun hiche munchu amin Bokim asah un (Hichu kana) tina ahi. Hichea chun amahon Pakaiya kilhaina ana sem’un ahi.
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the sons of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
Joshua’n amaho chu alhahdoh phat in, ama ama phungho cheh in agoulo mun agamsung cheh toupha ding in ache tauvin ahi.
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.
Chule Israel mipi abon chauvin Joshua hinlai sungse leh Joshua sanga hingsotjo gollui upa ho Pakai thilbol loupi tahtah ho anabol, amittah’a ana muho hinlai sungse chun Israelten Pakai kinchu anabol un ahi.
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
Pakai lhacha Nun chapa Joshua chu kum jakhat le som alhin-in ana thitan ahi.
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.
Amahon Gash mol sahlang Ephraim thinglhang gam, ama ana kipehna Timnath-serah gama chun anavui tauvin ahi.
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.
Joshua khanga miho athisoh hel phat’un, Israel khangthah ahung kisepdoh ho chun Pathen’in Israelte dinga thil thupi tahtah ana boldoh peh holeh, Ama jeng jong hepha le gelpha aum tapouve.
11 And the sons of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim.
Hichephat hin Israelten Pakai mitmun thilphalou tahtah ana boldoh tauvin, chule Baal doi-lim semthu hochu anahou tauve.
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.
Egypt gama kona ahin puidoh uva apu apateu Pakai, Pathen chu ana nungsun tauvin, amahon pathen dangho nung anajuiyun aveluva cheng mite pathen hochu anahoujo tauvin ahi. Hichun Pakai ana lunghan sahlheh jeng in ahi.
13 And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
Amahon Pakai chu ana nungsun uva Baal leh Ashtoreth semthu pathen hojoh anahou tauvin ahi.
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.
Hiche hin Pakai chu Israel chunga nasatah in ana lunghan sahtan, hijeh chun Pakaiyin amaho chu michom-gamte khut’ah apedoh tan Israelte chu anachom tauve; chule Pakaiyin amaho chu akimveluva cheng agalmi hou khut’ah ana pedoh tauvin, hijeh chun Israelte chu agalmiteu ana-tingjou tapouvin ahi.
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.
Israel’ten amaho kisatpi dinga akondoh chan’un Pakaiyin amaho dounan gal asat jitan, Aman ana gihna bang chun, gal alelsah jitauvin ahileh amaho chu ana lungkham lheh jeng un ahi.
16 And Jehovah raised up judges who saved them out of the hand of those who despoiled them.
Chuin Pakaiyin Israelte chu ahindel khum houva kona, ahuhdoh ding'un thutan vaihom ho ana tundoh peh'uvin ahi.
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.
Ahivang'in Israel’ten thutan vaihom ho thu ngailouvin, pathen dangho houna in numei kijoh ho bangin anachon tauvin, Pakai thupeh dungjuiya anachon apu apateu chonna lampia kona i-atileh ana kihei mangloichal jiuva ham?
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.
Pakaiyin thutan vaihom ho Israelte chunga atundoh komleh thutan vaihom ho chu ana mangchajin, amaho hinlai sung chun agalmi houva kon in ana huhdoh jiuvin ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin a-engbolna leh thohgimna thoh amipite chu akhoto jin ahi.
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.
Ahinlah thutan vaihom ho athi tenguleh, amipite chu achonnau dihlounau lampia akinungle kit jiuvin, amahon pathen dang ana jui jiuvin, ajenle in anapangun chujongle ana hou jiuvin ahi. Hiti chun thildihlou abol-hou chu alouchal jeh un anapaidoh nomji pouvin ahi.
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,
Hijeh chun Pakai chu Israel chung’ah nasatah in analung hang jin, Pakaiyin hitin anaseiye, “Ajeh chu kamiten apu apateu toh kitepna kana semchu asukeh un chule kathupeh jong nahsah louvin akoi tauvin ahi.
21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died,
Keiman, Joshua'n athichan geija jousoh louva anadalhah nam mite chu kadeldoh pehlou ding ahitai.
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.
Israelte apu apateuvin Pakai nung anajui banguva ajuiyuvam ajuilou uham ti, patepna keiman hichehi kabol ahi.” ati.
23 So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out quickly. Neither did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
Hiche jeh achu Pakaiyin hiche nam mite chu deldoh louva, Joshua chu abona anajosah lou ahi.
