Joshua 23
1 And it came to pass a long time after that Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua had become old, advanced in age,
BAWIPA ni a tengpam kaawm e tarannaw abuemlae kut dawk hoi Isarel miphunnaw a hlout sak teh, roumnae hah atueng moikasawlah a poe hnukkhu, Joshua teh a kumcue teh a matawng toung dawkvah,
2 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am become old, advanced in age;
Isarel miphun a kum kacuenaw, bawinaw, lawkcengkungnaw hah a kaw teh, kai teh ka kumcue toung dawkvah, ka matawng toe.
3 and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you. For Jehovah your God is he that hath fought for you.
Nangmae Cathut teh nangmouh hanelah, hete miphun abuemlah dawkvah, a sak e pueng hah nangmouh ni na panue awh toe. Nangmae BAWIPA ni nangmouh koe lah, taran a tuk toe.
4 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot for an inheritance, according to your tribes, these nations that remain, from the Jordan, as well as all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the great sea toward the sun-setting.
Jordan palang hoi kamtawng teh, kanîloum tuipui totouh, kai ni ka tâ e miphunnaw hoi kaawm rae hete miphun a onae ram hah, nangmae miphunnaw ni râw coe hanelah, cungpam ka rayu awh teh, kai ni na rei awh toe.
5 And Jehovah your God, he will expel them from before you, and dispossess them from out of your sight; and ye shall take possession of their land, as Jehovah your God hath said unto you.
Nangmae BAWIPA ni lawkkam e patetlah hete miphunnaw hah, pâlei awh nateh, nangmouh ni na hmu hoeh nahanlah, a pâlei vaiteh, ahnimae talai hah, nangmouh ni abuemlah na coe awh han.
6 And be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh ni Mosi e phunglawk cauk dawk e lamthung hoi aranglah, avoilah phen laipalah, kaawm e patetlah na tarawi hanelah thoseh,
7 that ye enter not among these nations, these that remain among you; and ye shall make no mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them;
nangmouh koe kaawm rae, hete miphunnaw hoi kâkalawt awh hanh. Ahnimae cathut min lahoi thoebo awh han, a hmalah khokcuengkhuem awh hanh, na lûsaling sin awh han.
8 but ye shall cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.
Sahnin totouh na tarawi e patetlah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut dawk kâhnai awh nahanelah taranhawinae lungthin tawn awh.
9 For Jehovah hath dispossessed from before you great and strong nations; and as to you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kalen ni teh a thakaawmpounge miphunnaw hah, BAWIPA ni nangmae hmalah a pâlei teh sahnin totouh nangmae hmalah, pihai kangdout thai hoeh.
10 One man of you chaseth a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath said unto you.
Nangmouh buet touh ei nakunghai alouke tami 1,000 touh na yawng sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA ni lawkkam e patetlah nangmouh koe lah taran a tuk.
11 Take great heed therefore unto your souls, that ye love Jehovah your God.
Hatdawkvah nangmae BAWIPA teh, na lungpataw thai nahan, takthai lungthin kâhruetcuet awh.
12 For if ye in any wise go back, and cleave unto the residue of these nations, these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and come in unto them and they unto you:
Nahoeh pawiteh, nangmouh ni na kamlang teh nangmouh koe kaawm rae naw hah, hete miphunnaw na kângue awh teh, na kâpaluen awh pawiteh,
13 know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more dispossess these nations from before you, and they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.
Nangmae BAWIPA ni hete miphunnaw hah nangmae hmalah hoi bout pâlei mahoeh toe. Nangmae BAWIPA ni na poe e kahawipoung e ram dawk nangmouh teh kahmakata hoehroukrak, ahnimouh teh nangmouh hanelah karap, tangkhek, na nâ dawk hemnae rui, na mit dawk pâkhing lah ao han telah kamcengcalah panuek awh.
14 And behold, I am going this day the way of all the earth; and ye know in all your heart, and in all your soul, that not one thing hath failed of all the good words that Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you: all are come to pass unto you — not one thing hath failed thereof.
Kai teh talai tami pueng ceinae lam dawk sahnin ka cei han toe. Nangmae BAWIPA ni nangmouh hanelah, na poe e hawinae buet touh hai payoun hoeh. Abuemlah a kuep sak tie hah, nangmouh ni na lungthin thung vah na panue awh.
15 But it shall come to pass, that as every good word hath been fulfilled to you, that Jehovah your God spoke to you, so will Jehovah bring upon you every evil word, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you;
Nangmae BAWIPA ni lawk a kam e patetlah hawinae pueng teh, nangmae lathueng vah a pha patetlah nangmae BAWIPA ni na poe e, hete ram kahawi e dawk hoi nangmanaw hah koung na raphoe hoehroukrak, BAWIPA ni nangmae lathueng vah rucatnae naw hah a pha sak han.
16 when ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow yourselves unto them, so that the anger of Jehovah shall be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
Nangmanaw teh, nangmae BAWIPA ni na ta pouh e lawkkam hah na payon awh teh, alouke cathut koe na cei teh, lû na saling pawiteh, BAWIPA a lungkhuek vaiteh, na poe tangcoung e ram kahawi dawk hoi nangmanaw teh karanglah na thup awh han telah a pathang pouh.
