Joshua 24
1 Joshua summoned all the tribes of Israel to Shechem. Then he called the elders, leaders, judges, and officials and they came and stood before the Tabernacle of God.
Hiche jouchun Joshua’n Israel phung jousechu upa hole lamkai ho chule thutan vaihom ho jouse Shechem mah anakou khommin hitichun amaho ahungun Pathen angsungah ahung dingun ahi.
2 Joshua said to all the people, “The Lord, the God of Israel, says this: ‘Long, long ago your forefathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they worshiped other gods.
Joshua’n mipi abonchao jeh a chun hitin anaseije, “Pakai Israel Pathenin hitin aseije, napului teniu Abraham le Nahor pa Terah chu khanglui laijin Euphrates lui galla achenguvin chujong le amahon pathen lim semthu hojong ana houvun ahi.
3 I brought your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and led him through all the land of Canaan and gave him many descendants. I gave him Isaac.
Ahinla Keiman napuluiju Abraham chu Euphrate gallam akon chun Canaan gamma kahin puilutnin ahi. Keiman achapa Isaac’a konin chilhah tamtah kanapen ahi.
4 I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau. I gave to Esau the hill country of Seir to own, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
Isaac chu Jacob le Esau kanapen ahi. Esau chu Seir molsang langchu kanapen, Jacob le achilhahte chu Egypt langa anache suh un ahi.
5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I brought plagues on the people of Egypt, and I brought you out.
Hiche jouchun Keiman Mose le Aaron kanasollin chuleh Egypt machun natset khohtah kana laansah in, hiche jouchun Keiman nangho chu chamlhat mite nahitheina diuvin kahin puidoh un ahi.
6 Yes, I brought your forefathers out, but when you arrived at the Red Sea the Egyptians were chasing after your forefathers with chariots and horsemen.
Ahinlah napu napa teohin twikhanglensan alhunphatnun, Egypt miten Sakol kangtalai jin nahin nungdel taovin ahi.
7 Your forefathers called out to the Lord for help, and he placed darkness between you and the Egyptians. Then he brought the sea back over them and they drowned. You saw what I did with your own eyes in Egypt. Then you lived for many years in the wilderness.
Hichun napu napa teuchu Pakai komma ahung penjah jeng phat nun nanghole Egypt te kikah a thim kana jinsah in, twikhanglen chu kana vallhun sahin, hitichun namitmu changtah un Egypt te chunga hitobanghi kana tongdoh in ahi. HIche jouchun gamthip noijah phatsottah nahung chengtaovin ahi.
8 After that I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought against you but I handed them over to you to defeat and you took over their land. I destroyed them before you.
Ajona in Keiman nanghochu Jordan pang nisolamma cheng Amor mite gamsunga kahin puilut’un ahi. Amahon nangho chu nakisat piuvin ahinlah keiman amahochu namasangtah uva kasuhmang pehun ahi. Keiman amaho chunga galjona kapeuvin hitichun nanghon agamsungu nalo uvin nachen khum taovin ahi.
9 When Balak, son of Zippor, the king of Moab, wanted to fight against Israel, he sent for Balaam, son of Beor, to come and curse you.
Hiche jouchun Moab lengpa Zippor chapa Balak chun Israel dounan gal ahin boltaovin ahi. Aman Be’or chapa Balaam chu nangho gaosap dingin ahin kouvin
10 But I wasn't willing to listen to Balaam, so instead he blessed you repeatedly, and saved you from Balak.
Ahinlah keiman kana noppeh pon, keiman Balaam chu nangho joh phatthei kanaboh sahtan, hitichun nangho chu Balak a kon in kana huhdoh tan ahi.
11 You crossed the Jordan and arrived at Jericho where the men of Jericho fought against you. So did the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Nangho Jordan vadung nagalkai juva Jericho nahung lhun phatnun, Amor mite, Perizz mite, Canaan mite, Hit mite, Girgash mite, Hivi mite le Jebus miten bang bangun Jericho mitenjong nanadou taovin ahi. Ahinlah keiman amaho chu kana josah taovin ahi.
12 But I handed them over to you to defeat. And I sent the hornet before you to drive out the two kings of the Amorites. You did not win using your swords or your bows!
Keiman Amor lengteni delmang dingin nangho masang’ah khoise kanasol masan ahi. Nagaljonao chu nachem muleh nathalpi ahipon ahi.
13 I gave you a land you didn't work for and towns you didn't build. Now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves you didn't plant.’
Nathanat nao hilou gamchu kapeuvin chuleh nasah dohsao hilou khopiho kapeuvin nanghon tun nachenpha taovin ahi. Natusao hilou leh Olive gammang jong naneh diuvin kapeuvin ahi.
14 So respect the Lord and worship him, sincerely and faithfully. Get rid of the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and worship the Lord.
“Hijeh chun nalungthim pumpiuvin Pakai chu gingunlang akin bolluvin. Napu napateovin Euphrate vadung gallang Egypt ma anachenlai uva ana houvu semthu pathen hochu a itih a dingin paimang soh helluvin lang Pakai kin jengbou bollun.
15 But if you don't want to worship the Lord, choose today who you want to worship! Is it going to be the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the Euphrates? Or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you're now living? But as for me and my family, we will worship the Lord!”
Ahinlah hiche Pakai kin hi nabol nomlou helluva ahileh koikin nabol dinguham tunihin kilhen khen jenguvin. Euphrates gallanga napu napateo semthu pathen hochu nahou joh diuham? Ahilouleh tua nachennao gamsunga ana chengah Amor mite semthu pathen hojoh chu nahou diuham kilhen khen taovin. Keima leh kainsung miten vang a i-tihchan hijongleh Pakai kinchu kabol jing jeng dingu ahi,” ati.
16 The people responded, “We are never going to give up on the Lord and worship other gods!
Mipiten hitihin adonbut nuva, “Keihon itih hijongleh Pakai chu nungsunna semthu pathen dang kin kabollou heldiu ahi.
17 For the Lord our God brought us and our forefathers out of slavery in Egypt. He was the one who did great miracles before our very eyes. He looked after us on the way as we traveled through the lands of many nations.
Ajeh chu Pakai Pathen le keiholeh kapu kapateo Egypt gam sohchan na akonna eina huhdoh uva chu ahi. Aman datmo umthil kidang nasatah keiho mitmulah in ana bollin ahi. Keihon gamthipnoi melmate lah a lam kahin jotnaova hin aman eihin pui galkai uvah amabou ahi.
18 The Lord drove out before us the Amorites and all the other nations who were living in the land. So we will worship the Lord, for he is our God!”
Hiche gamma anacheng Amor miteleh namdangho jouse eina nodoh peh uvah Pakai amabou ahi. Hijeh chun keihon jong ama kinbou kaboldiu ahi, ajeh chu amabou hi ka Pathennu ahi”.
19 Joshua told the people, “Remember that the Lord is a holy and jealous God. You won't be able to worship him, and he won't forgive your rebellion and sins
Hichun Joshua in mipiho chu agihsallin in hitin aseije, “Nanghon Pakai kinhi boljou pouvin nate, ajeh chu Pakai hi thengtah leh thangthip Pathen ahi. Aman nachonsetnao leh Ama nadou ah o jouse nangaidam pouvinte.
20 if you give up on him and worship foreign gods. He will turn against you and destroy you despite all the good he has done for you.”
Ahin nanghon Pakai chu nanungsun uva semthu pathen dang kin nahin boljeng tah uva ahileh tumasangin nahin ngailulheh jengu jongleng, nangho douva hung pangding nahin suhmang dingu ahi” ati.
21 “Don't say that!” the people replied. “We will worship the Lord!”
Ahinlah mipiho chun Joshua chu adonbut un, “Ahipoi keihon Pakai kinchu kabol teidiu ahi” atiuve.
22 Then Joshua cautioned the people, “You have made yourselves witnesses against yourselves by saying that you have chosen to worship the Lord.” “Yes, we are witnesses,” the people replied.
Joshua’n jong aseijin, “Nangho nathulhuhnao chunga nanh hole nangho ahettohsah nahiuve, nanghon Pakai kin bolding nakilhen taove” ati. Amahon adonbutnun, “Henge, keihon kathuseijuhi keiho mama ahetoh kahiuve,” atiuvin ahi.
23 “Then get rid of those foreign gods you have and promise to be loyal only to the Lord, the God of Israel,” Joshua told them.
Joshua’n aseijin, “Aphai hute ahileh nalah uva milim semthuho chu sumang unlang Pakai na Pathennu langa chun kiheijun lang nalungthim pumpi peuvin,” ati.
24 The people said to Joshua, “We will worship the Lord our God and we will obey him.”
Mipite chun Joshua komma asejun, “Keihon, Pakai Pathen kinjong kaboldiu, ama thujengbou kangai diu ahi” atiuve.
25 So Joshua made a solemn agreement between the people and the Lord that day in Shechem, obligating them to follow all the Lord's laws and instructions.
Hitichun Joshua’n hiche nikhochun Shechem’ah mipi chutoh kitep nakhat ana sem’un Pakai thupeh holeh adanthupeh hochu anit diuvin ana kitepsah in ahi.
26 Joshua recorded this in the Book of the Law of God, and he set up a large stone under the oak tree near the Lord's sanctuary.
Joshua’n hiche hochu Pathen dan lekhabua anajihlut nin ahi. Chuleh hiche hetjingna dinga hin songlentah khat Pakai ponbun kom gangpi phungnoi ana tungdoh in ahi.
27 Joshua said to the people, “Look at this stone. It stands here as a witness against us for it has heard everything the Lord has told us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny what you have promised your God.”
Joshua’n mipiho kommah anaseije, “Pakaiyin eiho komma aseijouse chu hiche song hin ajasoh keijin ahi. Nangho Pakaija nakitep naova konna nanung chonnuva ahileh hichehi nangho douna-a hettohsah hiding ahi” ati.
28 Then Joshua dismissed the people, sending them to their allotted lands.
Hiche jouchun, Joshua’n mipihochu abonchan ainlam cheh a asoldohtan ahi.
29 Later, after all this, Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
Hiche jouhin Pakai lhacha Nun chapa Joshua chu kum jakhat le somkhat alhinchun athitan ahi.
30 They buried him in Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.
Amahon ama gamchan dinga ana kipehna mun, Gaash mol sahlang Ephraim thinglhang gam Timnath-serah munnah anavui taovin ahi.
31 The Israelites continued to worship the Lord throughout Joshua's life, and throughout the lifetimes of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all that the Lord had done for Israel.
Israel mipite chun, Joshua hinlaisen, chuleh Pakaiyin Israel tedinga anabol hojouse atahsa tah a hin hechen Joshua thinunga hingnalai upa ho hinlai sungsen Pakai kin phatah in ahin bollun ahi.
32 The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought with them from Egypt, they buried in Shechem in the piece of ground Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of silver. This land was inherited by Joseph's sons.
Israel ten Egypt ahin dalhah uva ahinpoh u Joseph gu-ho chu, Jacob min Hamor chatea konna dangka jakhatna anachoh gamsung Shechem munna chun anavuijun ahi. Hiche gamhi Joseph chilhahho chandinga anakipe gamsunga chu umma ahi.
33 And Eleazar, son of Aaron, died and they buried him at Gibeah, in the hill country of Ephraim, land which had been given to his son Phinehas.
Aaron chapa Eleazer athitai. Amachu achapa Phinehas anakipe Gibeah khopi sung Ephraim thinglhangah anavuijun ahi.
