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.
Hahoi Joshua ni Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah Shekhem kho dawk a kamkhueng sak teh, Isarel miphun dawk e kacuenaw, kaukkungnaw, lawkcengkungnaw bawinaw hah a kaw teh, ahnimouh ni Cathut e hmalah a hnai awh.
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.
Hahoi Joshua ni taminaw abuemlah koe a pathang e teh, Isarelnaw e BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e teh, Abraham hoi Nahor e a na pa Terah koehoi kamtawng teh, nangmae mintoenaw ni, a yan e tueng dawk tuipui namran lah ao awh teh, alouke cathutnaw hah a bawk awh.
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.
Nangmae na pa Abraham teh tuipui namran lah, ka kaw teh, Kanaan ram e hmuen koe ka hrawi teh, ahnie miphunnaw ka pung sak teh Isak hah ka poe.
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.
Isak koehoi Jakop hoi Esaw hah kai ni ka poe teh, Esaw hai Seir mon hah ka poe. Jakop hoi ahnie canaw ni Izip ram lah a cei awh.
5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I brought plagues on the people of Egypt, and I brought you out.
Mosi hoi Aron teh kai ni ka patoun teh, Izip taminaw koe a sak e patetlah Izip ram hah ka toun hnukkhu nangmanaw hah na tâco sak.
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.
Telah nangmae mintoenaw hah Izip ram hoi kai ni ka tâco sak teh, ahnimouh ni Edom tuipui koe a pha awh. Izip taminaw ni rangleng hoi marangransanaw hoi tuipui totouh a pâlei awh.
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.
BAWIPA koe a hram awh torei teh, nangmouh hoi Izip taminaw a rahak hmonae hah kai ni ka ta teh, ahnimanaw hah, tuipui hoi muen ka ramuk sak. Izip ram dawk kai ni ka sak e hno hah, namamouh roeroe ni na hmu awh. Kahrawng dawk hai atueng moikasawlah na o awh.
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.
Hathnukkhu, Jordan palang kanîtholah kaawm e Amornaw e ram dawk nangmanaw hah kai ni na hrawi teh, ahnimouh ni na tuk awh navah ahnimouh teh nangmae kut dawk kai ni na poe teh, ahnimae talai hah, nangmouh ni na la pouh awh. Ahnimouh teh nangmae hmalah, kai ni koung ka raphoe.
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.
Moab siangpahrang Zippor e capa Balak ni a thaw teh, Isarelnaw hah a tuk teh nangmanaw hah, thoebo sak hanelah, Beor e capa BaLaam hah a kaw torei teh,
10 But I wasn't willing to listen to Balaam, so instead he blessed you repeatedly, and saved you from Balak.
BaLaam e lawk kai ni ka ngâi pouh hoeh dawkvah, yawhawinae hah letlang a poe teh, ahnie kut dawk hoi nangmanaw hah kai ni na hlout sak awh.
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.
Hahoi nangmanaw ni Jordan palang na raka teh, Jeriko kho dawk na pha toteh, Jeriko tami, Amor tami, Periz tami, Kanaan tami, Hit tami, Gigashite tami, Hiv tami, Jubusitnaw hah na tuk awh teh, ahnimanaw hah nangmae kut dawk kai ni na poe.
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!
Nangmouh dawk tahloi hoi licung awm laipalah, nangmae hmalah khoingan hah ka tha teh, Amor siangpahrang kahni touh nangmae hmalah kai ni ka pâlei.
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.’
Nangmouh ni kho na thawng awh hoeh e khonaw hah kai ni na poe awh teh, nangmouh ni na o nah awh. Namamouh ni na ung hoeh e misur takha, olive takha naw hah, na ca awh telah, BAWIPA ni atipouh.
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.
Atuteh, Cathut hah, taket nateh, lungthin kathoung hoi, yuemkamcunae hoi bawk awh. Tuipui namran dawk, Izip ram dawk, mintoenaw ni a bawk e cathutnaw hah pahnawt nateh, BAWIPA duengma bawk awh.
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!”
Nahoeh pawiteh, BAWIPA hah bawk hanelah awmhoeh telah na pouk pawiteh, tuipui namran lae, mintoenaw ni a bawk e cathut, nangmouh na onae Amor ram dawk e cathutnaw thung dawk bangpatet e cathutnaw maw na bawk awh han tie hah sahnin kârawi awh leih. Kai hoi ka imthung niteh, Jehovah duengdoeh ka bawk awh han ati navah,
16 The people responded, “We are never going to give up on the Lord and worship other gods!
Taminaw ni alouke cathutnaw hah bawk hanelah Cathut hah pahnawtnae teh kaimouh hoi kâhlat naseh.
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.
Kaimae BAWIPA ni san lah onae Izip ram hoi mintoenaw hoi kaimanaw hah na tâco sak teh, kalenpounge mitnoutnaw hah kaimae mithmu vah a kamnue sak. Kaimouh ka ceinae hmuen pueng koe, ka cei sin e miphunnaw koe na okhai.
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!”
BAWIPA ni hai hete ram dawk kaawm e Amornaw abuemlah kaimae hmalah hoi a pâlei toe. BAWIPA hah ka bawk han. Hote BAWIPA teh kaimae Cathut doeh telah bout ati awh.
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
Joshua ni vah nangmouh ni BAWIPA hah na bawk thai mahoeh. Hote BAWIPA teh, kathounge Cathut, dipma ka sin e BAWIPA lah ao. Nangmouh ni na payon e yonnaw hah, na ngaithoum thai mahoeh.
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.”
Nangmouh ni BAWIPA hah na pahnawt teh, ram alouke cathutnaw hah, na bawk pawiteh, nangmouh dawk hawinae ka sak hnukkhu bout ka kamlang vaiteh, na rektap awh vaiteh na raphoe awh han telah atipouh navah,
21 “Don't say that!” the people replied. “We will worship the Lord!”
Taminaw ni, telah nahoeh, BAWIPA duengdoeh ka bawk han bout ati awh.
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 ni hai nangmouh ni Cathut hah bawk hanelah, na kârawi awh toe telah, namamouh hoi namamouh doeh kapanuekkhaikung lah na kaawm awh telah atipouh navah, ahnimouh ni kapanuekkhaikung lah ka o awh ati awh teh,
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 ni telah pawiteh, nangmouh koe kaawm e ram alouke cathutnaw hah pahnawt awh nateh Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut koelah na lungthin kamlang awh ati pou.
24 The people said to Joshua, “We will worship the Lord our God and we will obey him.”
Taminaw ni kaimae BAWIPA hah ka bawk han. A lawk ka ngâi pouh han telah ati awh.
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.
Joshua ni hat hnin vah taminaw hoi lawkkam a sak teh, Shekhem kho vah, kâlawk, phunglamnaw a hruek pouh.
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.
Hote lawknaw hah BAWIPA e kâlawk cauk dawk a thut teh, BAWIPA e kathoungpounge hmuen teng kaawm e kathen kung rahim vah talung kalen poung a ung teh,
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.”
hete talung teh maimanaw kapanuekkhaikung lah ao han. Cathut ni kâ na poe e lawk ka kuepcalah thai awh toe. Hatdawkvah nangmouh ni Cathut hah, na pahnawtnae hoi na hlout thai nahanelah, nangmanaw hah, kapanuekkhaikung lah na o han telah tami abuemlah koe a dei pouh hnukkhu,
28 Then Joshua dismissed the people, sending them to their allotted lands.
amamouh lengkaleng râw a coe awh e hmuen koe bout a ban sak.
29 Later, after all this, Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
Hathnukkhu BAWIPA e san, Nun capa Joshua teh kum 110 touh a pha teh a due.
30 They buried him in Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.
Ephraim mon dawk Gaash monrui atunglah kaawm e ahnie râw a coe e, Timnath-serah kho e talai dawk a pakawp awh.
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.
Joshua e kut dawk ao nathung pueng Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA teh a bawk awh. BAWIPA ni Isarel miphunnaw hanelah a sak e naw pueng hah a panue awh teh, Joshua a due hnukkhu kahring rae kacuenaw e kut rahim hai BAWIPA hah a bawk awh.
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.
Isarel miphunnaw ni Izip ram hoi a sin e Joseph e hrunaw hah, Shekhem a napa, Hamor e canaw koe ngun tangka cum touh hoi Jakop ni a ran e Shekhem kho e talai dawk a pakawp awh. Hote talai teh, Joseph capanaw e râw talai lah ao.
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.
Aron e ca vaihma bawi Eleazar hai a due. Ahnie capa Phinehas hai a yunaw ni a poe e Ephraim mon, Phinehas monrui dawk a pakawp awh.
