Judges 2
1 The LORD’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you.
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.
2 You shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to my voice. Why have you done this?
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.
3 Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’”
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.
4 When the LORD’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
BAWIPA e kalvantami niyah, Isarelnaw koe telah a dei pouh toteh, taminaw pueng ni hramki laihoi a ka awh.
5 They called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
Hete hmuen teh, Bokhim a phung awh teh, BAWIPA koe thuengnae a sak awh.
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel each went to his inheritance to possess the land.
Joshua ni taminaw a patoun toteh, Isarelnaw ni amamouh ni a ham awh hane ram koelah lengkaleng a cei awh.
7 The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD that he had worked for Israel.
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.
8 Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old.
Nun e capa Joshua, Bawipa e san teh, a kum 110 nah a due.
9 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.
Ephraim mon, Gaash mon patung lah Timnath-heres thung amae râw a coe nahane hmuen koe a pakawp awh.
10 After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD, nor the work which he had done for Israel.
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.
11 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and served the Baals.
Hahoi teh, Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA mithmu vah hno kahawihoehe yonnae hah a sak awh teh, Baal a bawk awh toe.
12 They abandoned 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 who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.
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.
13 They abandoned the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
BAWIPA a pahnawt awh teh, Baal hoi Ashtaroth hah a bawk awh.
14 The LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.
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.
15 Wherever they went out, the LORD’s hand was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn to them; and they were very distressed.
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.
16 The LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them.
Hahoi teh, BAWIPA ni kahuencawnnaw e kut dawk hoi hlout sak hanelah, lawkcengkungnaw a tâco sak.
17 Yet they did not listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the LORD’s commandments. They did not do so.
Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni lawkcengkungnaw e lawk hah ngâi kalawn awh hoeh. Alouke cathutnaw hoi a kâyo awh teh, a bawk awh.
18 When the LORD raised up judges for them, 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 grieved the LORD because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them.
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.
19 But when the judge was dead, 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 what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways.
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.
20 The LORD’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,
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,
21 I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them;
Joshua a due hnukkhu, a miphunnaw e hmalah hoi Kai ni ka pâlei pouh mahoeh toe.
22 that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep the LORD’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.”
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.
23 So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He did not deliver them into Joshua’s hand.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hete miphunnaw vai touh haiyah, he pâlei laipalah, a tara teh, Joshua kut dawk hai poe hoeh.
