Judges 2
1 The angel of the Lord went from Gilgal to Bokim and told the people, “I led you out of the land of Egypt and brought you to this land that I promised to your forefathers, and I said I would never break the agreement I made with you.
Pakai Vantil chu Gilgala kon in ahung kaltouvin Bokima Israelte henga hitin ahung seiyin, “Keiman nangho hi Egypt gama kona kahin puidoh uva, napu napateo pehdia kana kihahselna gam chu kahinlhut nahi tauve, chule Keiman kaseiyin ‘Itihchan hijongleh kaki tepna chu kasuh keh louhel ding ahi,” tin kanaseiye.
2 I also told you not to make any agreements with the people living in the land and to tear down their altars. But you refused to obey what I said. Why did you do this?
Hiche gamsunga nachen lut tenguleh, hiche gama cheng hotoh khun kitepna nasem theilou heldiu, amavang amaicham semna munhou nasuhmang peh johdiu ahi. Chule nanghon kathupeh nanit pouvin nangaipouve. Ipi dinga hitia hi um’ah nahiuvem?
3 I also warned you, ‘I will not drive them out before you, and they will be snares for you, and their gods will be traps for you.’”
Hijeh chun keiman nagam sung’uva chengho kadeldoh pehlou diu, ama hohi nangho dinga nasuboi jinguva pangdiu, chule a-pathen houhi nangho dinga lhepna a pang jingdiu ahi.”
4 After the angel of the Lord had explained this to all the Israelites, the people wept out loud.
Pakai, Vantil chun Israelte koma athusei chu achaiphat in mipi chu akapjah jengun ahi.
5 That's why they named the place Bokim, and they presented sacrifices there to the Lord.
Hijeh chun hiche munchu amin Bokim asah un (Hichu kana) tina ahi. Hichea chun amahon Pakaiya kilhaina ana sem’un ahi.
6 After Joshua had dismissed the people, the Israelites went to take possession of the land, each to their allotted land.
Joshua’n amaho chu alhahdoh phat in, ama ama phungho cheh in agoulo mun agamsung cheh toupha ding in ache tauvin ahi.
7 The people continued to worship the Lord throughout Joshua's life, and throughout the lifetimes of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all the wonderful things that the Lord had done for Israel.
Chule Israel mipi abon chauvin Joshua hinlai sungse leh Joshua sanga hingsotjo gollui upa ho Pakai thilbol loupi tahtah ho anabol, amittah’a ana muho hinlai sungse chun Israelten Pakai kinchu anabol un ahi.
8 Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
Pakai lhacha Nun chapa Joshua chu kum jakhat le som alhin-in ana thitan ahi.
9 They buried him in Timnath-heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.
Amahon Gash mol sahlang Ephraim thinglhang gam, ama ana kipehna Timnath-serah gama chun anavui tauvin ahi.
10 Once that generation had passed away, the generation that followed did not know the Lord, or what he had done for Israel.
Joshua khanga miho athisoh hel phat’un, Israel khangthah ahung kisepdoh ho chun Pathen’in Israelte dinga thil thupi tahtah ana boldoh peh holeh, Ama jeng jong hepha le gelpha aum tapouve.
11 The Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and they worshiped the Baals.
Hichephat hin Israelten Pakai mitmun thilphalou tahtah ana boldoh tauvin, chule Baal doi-lim semthu hochu anahou tauve.
12 They deserted the Lord, the God of their forefathers, who had led them out of Egypt. They followed other gods, bowing down in worship to the gods of the peoples around them, making the Lord angry.
Egypt gama kona ahin puidoh uva apu apateu Pakai, Pathen chu ana nungsun tauvin, amahon pathen dangho nung anajuiyun aveluva cheng mite pathen hochu anahoujo tauvin ahi. Hichun Pakai ana lunghan sahlheh jeng in ahi.
13 They deserted the Lord and worshiped Baal and Ashtaroth idols.
Amahon Pakai chu ana nungsun uva Baal leh Ashtoreth semthu pathen hojoh anahou tauvin ahi.
14 Because the Lord was angry with Israel he handed them over to invaders who plundered them. He sold them to their enemies all around—enemies they could no longer resist.
Hiche hin Pakai chu Israel chunga nasatah in ana lunghan sahtan, hijeh chun Pakaiyin amaho chu michom-gamte khut’ah apedoh tan Israelte chu anachom tauve; chule Pakaiyin amaho chu akimveluva cheng agalmi hou khut’ah ana pedoh tauvin, hijeh chun Israelte chu agalmiteu ana-tingjou tapouvin ahi.
15 Whenever Israel went into battle, the Lord fought against them and defeated them, just as he had warned them and as he had vowed he would do. They were in a great deal of trouble.
Israel’ten amaho kisatpi dinga akondoh chan’un Pakaiyin amaho dounan gal asat jitan, Aman ana gihna bang chun, gal alelsah jitauvin ahileh amaho chu ana lungkham lheh jeng un ahi.
16 Then the Lord provided them with judges, who saved them from their invaders.
Chuin Pakaiyin Israelte chu ahindel khum houva kona, ahuhdoh ding'un thutan vaihom ho ana tundoh peh'uvin ahi.
17 But even so, they refused to listen to their judges, and prostituted themselves by following other gods, bowing down in worship to them. They quickly abandoned the way their forefathers had followed, and they did not obey the Lord's commandments as their forefathers had.
Ahivang'in Israel’ten thutan vaihom ho thu ngailouvin, pathen dangho houna in numei kijoh ho bangin anachon tauvin, Pakai thupeh dungjuiya anachon apu apateu chonna lampia kona i-atileh ana kihei mangloichal jiuva ham?
18 When the Lord provided Israel with judges over Israel, he was with each judge and saved the people from their enemies during that judge's lifetime, because the Lord felt sorry for his people, who groaned under their oppressors and persecutors.
Pakaiyin thutan vaihom ho Israelte chunga atundoh komleh thutan vaihom ho chu ana mangchajin, amaho hinlai sung chun agalmi houva kon in ana huhdoh jiuvin ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin a-engbolna leh thohgimna thoh amipite chu akhoto jin ahi.
19 But when the judge died, the people relapsed, and did worse things even than their forefathers, following other gods and worshiping them. They refused to give up what they were doing and held to their stubborn ways.
Ahinlah thutan vaihom ho athi tenguleh, amipite chu achonnau dihlounau lampia akinungle kit jiuvin, amahon pathen dang ana jui jiuvin, ajenle in anapangun chujongle ana hou jiuvin ahi. Hiti chun thildihlou abol-hou chu alouchal jeh un anapaidoh nomji pouvin ahi.
20 As a result the Lord became angry with Israel and he told them, “Because this nation has broken the agreement I ordered their forefathers to obey, and has not paid attention to what I said,
Hijeh chun Pakai chu Israel chung’ah nasatah in analung hang jin, Pakaiyin hitin anaseiye, “Ajeh chu kamiten apu apateu toh kitepna kana semchu asukeh un chule kathupeh jong nahsah louvin akoi tauvin ahi.
21 from now on I won't drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.
Keiman, Joshua'n athichan geija jousoh louva anadalhah nam mite chu kadeldoh pehlou ding ahitai.
22 This is in order to use them to test Israel to see if they will keep the way of the Lord and follow it as their forefathers did.”
Israelte apu apateuvin Pakai nung anajui banguva ajuiyuvam ajuilou uham ti, patepna keiman hichehi kabol ahi.” ati.
23 This is the reason why the Lord allowed those nations to remain, and didn't immediately drive them out by handing them over to Joshua.
Hiche jeh achu Pakaiyin hiche nam mite chu deldoh louva, Joshua chu abona anajosah lou ahi.
