Joshua 1
1 Now after the death of His servant Moses, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying,
BOEIPA kah sal Moses a dueknah hnukah Moses aka bong Joshua, Nun capa te BOEIPA loh a voek tih,
2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel.
“Ka sal Moses duek coeng. Te dongah thoo lamtah namah neh pilnam pum loh Jordan he kat lamtah kai loh Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen la kun lah.
3 I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.
Moses taengah ka thui vanbangla na khopha loh a cawt hmuen boeih te nangmih kam paek bitni.
4 Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea.
Khosoek lamkah Lebanon tuiva puei duela, Khitti khohmuen pum Perath tuiva khotlak tuili puei due pataeng nang khorhi la coeng ni.
5 No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Na hingnah a tue khui boeih na hmai ah hlang loh m'pai thil thai mahpawh. Moses taengkah ka om bangla nang taengah ka om van ni. Nang te kang rhael pawt vetih nang kan hnoo mahpawh.
6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall give these people the inheritance of the land that I swore to their fathers I would give them.
“Amih taengah paek ham a napa rhoek taengah ka caeng tangtae khohmuen te pilnam na phaeng ham coeng dongah thaahuel lamtah namning sak.
7 Above all, be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper wherever you go.
Ka sal Moses loh nang ng'uen olkhueng te boeih ngaithuen tih saii hamla thaahuel lamtah nam khak ning sak. Anih taeng lamloh banvoei bantang la taengphael boeh. Te daengah ni na caeh nah takuem ah lungming la na om uh eh.
8 This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.
Olkhueng cabu he na ka dong lamloh na hlong mahpawh. Khoyin khothaih na thuep daengah ni a khuikah a daek bangla boeih saii ham na ngaithuen eh. Te vaengah na longpuei thaihtak vetih lungming la na om uh ni.
9 Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
Nang kang uen moenih a? Thaahuel lamtah namning sak. Na caeh nah takuem ah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengla a om coeng dongah na sarhing sak boeh, rhihyawp boeh,” a ti nah.
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people:
Te dongah pilnam kah rhoiboei rhoek te Joshua loh a uen tih,
11 “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’”
“Rhaehhmuen khui la cet uh laeh. Pilnam te uen uh lamtah thui pah. Na lampu ham te sikim uh laeh. Hnin thum dongah ngawn tah Jordan te m'poeng uh pawn ni. BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih pang sak ham m'paek khohmuen te pang hamla paan uh laeh,” a ti nah.
12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
Tedae Reuben koca, Gad koca neh Manasseh koca hlangvang te Joshua loh a voek tih,
13 “Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’
“BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh nangmih taengah n'uen olka te poek lah. Nangmih duem sak ham te BOEIPA na Pathen loh a thui tih khohmuen he nangmih taengah m'paek coeng.
14 Your wives, your young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and help them,
Huta camoe neh na boiva tah Moses loh nangmih taengah m'paek Jordan rhalvangan kah khohmuen ah om uh mai saeh. Tedae nangmih tatthai hlangrhalh boeih long tah na manuca rhoek kah a hmai ah caem la cet uh lamtah na manuca rhoek te BOEIPA loh nangmih bangla a duem sak due amih te bom uh.
15 until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”
BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih a paek khohmuen te amih long khaw pang uh van saeh. Te phoeiah nangmih kah rho, khohmuen la bal uh lamtah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh khocuk Jordan rhalvangan ah nangmih m'paek te huul uh van,” a ti nah.
16 So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.
Te dongah Joshua te a doo uh tih, “Kaimih nang uen boeih te ka saii uh vetih kaimih nan tueih nah boeih la ka cet uh ni.
17 Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.
Moses ol te boeih ka ngai uh bangla nang ol te ka ngai uh van ni. Moses taengkah a om bangla BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah om van saeh.
18 Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”
Nang kah olthui aka koek tih nang kah olka nan uen te pakhat kangna khaw aka hnatun pawt hlang boeih tah duek pai saeh. Tedae thaahuel lamtah namning sak,” a ti nah uh.
