Joshua 23
1 And when a long time was passed, after that the Lord had given peace to Israel, all the nations round about being subdued, and Josue being now old, and far advanced in years:
Kum phabep ache nungin Pakaiyin Israel mipite hi agal mihouva kon in akicholdo sahtan ahi. Joshua jong ateh lheh tan,
2 Josue called for all Israel, and for the elders, and for the princes, and for the judges, and for the masters, and said to them: I am old, and far advanced in years:
Aman Israel te upa hole lamkaiho thutan hole vaihom ho akoukhommin, aman amaho komma hitihin asije, “Tuhin keima kateh lhehtai,
3 And you see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath fought for you:
Pakai Pathenin keima phat sunga hi itobang thil nabolpeh uham ti nanghon namusoh keijun ahi. Pakai naPathennin namelma teo gal nasat peh un ahi.
4 And now since he hath divided to you by lot all the land, from the east of the Jordan unto the great sea, and many nations yet remain:
Keiman imelma teo gam ilahsah houleh ihinlah dinghou nachen nao gam dingin kahin hoppeh taove agamsunghi Jordan vadunga pat na Mediterranean twikhanglen lhumlam gei ahi.
5 The Lord your God will destroy them, and take them away from before your face, and you shall possess the land as he hath promised you.
Tun hichehi nangho gam hiding ahitai, ajeh chu na Pakai na Pathennu amatah in agamsung miho abonna nadeldoh pehdingu ahi. Nanghon agammuhi Pakai na Pathenun nateppeh banguva nalodiu ahitai.
6 Only take courage, and be careful to observe all things that are written in the book of the law of Moses: and turn not aside from them neither to the right hand nor to the left:
Hijeh chun Mose’n danbua anajihlut banga ichepi theina diuvin chingthei jep uhitin, hitia chu kijethei hihen lang kiveihei hijongleh ichekhel louna diuvin chingthei uhite.
7 Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them:
Hijeh chun hiche gamsunga um nalaiho lah a ilhah manglou nadiuvin dingdet uhite. Amaho semthu pathenho nahouthei loudiu le akinna jong nakimanchah loudiu, kihahselna a jong naman theiloudiu amin na amin ujong naphah poh theilou diu ahi.
8 But cleave ye unto the Lord your God: as you have done until this day.
Amavang na Pakai na Pathen chu tunigeija dettah a nahin kolchah bang uva hi nakolchah jing ding ahi.
9 And then the Lord God will take away before your eyes nations that are great and very strong, and no man shall be able to resist you.
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin nam hattah tahho nahin deldoh pehun koimachan nang hohi alonaje nahi pouvin ahi.
10 One of you shall chase a thousand men of the enemies: because the Lord your God himself will fight for you, as he hath promised.
Nangho mikhat seh injong misangkhat nadeljam theidiu ahi, ajeh chu Pakai na Pathennun akitepna bangin nagal’u nasatpeh taovin ahi.
11 This only take care of with all diligence, that you love the Lord your God.
Hijeh chun na Pakai na Pathennu nangailut jing nadiuvin, chingtheijun,
12 But if you will embrace the errors of these nations that dwell among you, and make marriages with them, and join friendships:
“Amavang nangho ama akonna nakihei manguva nalahuva nang hotoh umkhom namdangho chondan nalahuva amahotoh nakichento uva ahileh,
13 Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumblingblock at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you.
Hiteng chuleh nakihet diu chu Pakai na Pathenun amaho chu nanodoh pehloudiu ahitai. Hititah sanga chu amaho joh hi nakipal nadiuva nalhemlhauva hungpang diu, namit uva lingle khaova hungpang diu chuleh akhonnale Pakai na Pathenun napehnao gamphalaija konna delmanga nahung umdiu ahi.
14 Behold this day I am going into the way of all the earth, and you shall know with all your mind that of all the words which the Lord promised to perform for you, not one hath failed.
“Vannoi leiset chena dolla keimahi kahung thivah ding ahitai. Pakai na Pathennun akitepna jouse nasuhbukip taovin khatcha jong athonna aumpoi tihi nalung thimmu giltah in naheuve.
15 Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so Will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you,
Ahinlah Pakai na Pathennun akitepna banga thilpha jouse napeh bang’uva hi, athu na ngailou uleh nachung uva hahsatna ahin lhunkhum sahdiu ahi. Aman gampha napeh naova konna hi nasuhmang diu ahi.
16 When you shall have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and shall have served strange gods, and adored them: then shall the indignation of the Lord rise up quickly and speedily against you, and you shall be taken away from this excellent land, which he hath delivered to you.
Nanghon Pakai na Pathennu kitepna hi nanit lou uva semthu pathen ho nahin hou uva akin nahin bolluva ahileh nangho douna-a alunghan na mei hung koujah jengding chuteng lechun aman napehnao gampha tah a konna hi namahthah diu ahi.
