Joshua 23
1 And a long season after that the Lord had giuen rest vnto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Ioshua was olde, and stricken in age,
Kum te yet a om phoeiah a kaepvai thunkha boeih taeng lamkah Israel te BOEIPA loh a duem sak tih Joshua khaw a khohnin loh patong ben la a paan coeng.
2 Then Ioshua called all Israel, and their Elders, and their heads, and their iudges, and their officers, and said vnto them, I am old, and stricken in age.
Te dongah Israel pum kah a hamca rhoek neh a lu rhoek, laitloek rhoek neh rhoiboei rhoek te Joshua loh a khue tih, “Kai he ka khohnin loh patong ben la ka paan coeng.
3 Also ye haue seene all that the Lord your God hath done vnto al these nations before you, howe the Lord your God him selfe hath fought for you.
Namtom boeih taengah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih mikhmuh ah a saii boeih te na hmuh uh coeng. BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih ham a vathoh thil coeng.
4 Beholde, I haue deuided vnto you by lot these nations that remaine, to be an inheritance according to your tribes, from Iorden, with all the nations that I haue destroyed, euen vnto the great Sea Westward.
Namtom aka sueng he nangmih koca rhoek kah rho la nangmih taengah kan tael tih Jordan lamkah namtom boeih pataeng khotlak tuili puei due ka saii te na hmuh uh.
5 And the Lord your God shall expell them before you, and cast them out of your sight, and ye shall possesse their land, as the Lord your God hath said vnto you.
Amih te BOEIPA na Pathen loh na mikhmuh lamkah a haek vetih na mikhmuh lamkah a tulh bitni. Te vaengah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih taengah a thui vanbangla a khohmuen te na pang pa uh bitni.
6 Be ye therefore of a valiant courage, to obserue and doe all that is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, that ye turne not therefrom to the right hand nor to the left,
Tedae Moses kah olkhueng cabu dongah a daek tangtae te banvoei bantang lamloh taengphael tak mueh la ngaithuen ham neh boeih vai ham taoe thahuel uh.
7 Neither companie with these nations: that is, with them which are left with you, neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to sweare by them, neither serue them nor bowe vnto them:
Nangmih lakli ah aka sueng namtom rhoek he kun thil uh boeh. A pathen ming te phoei uh boeh, toemngam uh boeh, amih taengah thothueng uh boeh, amih taengah bakop uh boeh.
8 But sticke fast vnto the Lord your God, as ye haue done vnto this day.
Tahae khohnin due na saii uh vanbangla BOEIPA na Pathen taeng bueng ah mah hangdang uh.
9 For ye Lord hath cast out before you great nations and mightie, and no man hath stand before your face hitherto.
Namtom vangpuei pilnu pataeng BOEIPA loh na mikhmuh lamkah a haek tih tihnin due nangmih mikhmuh ah hlang pakhat khaw a pai voel moenih.
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, he fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
Nangmih taengah a thui vanbangla BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih ham a vathoh coeng dongah nangmih lamkah hlang pakhat long mah thawngkhat khaw a hloem coeng.
11 Take good heede therefore vnto your selues, that ye loue the Lord your God.
Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen te na hinglu neh lungnah ham rhep ngaithuen uh.
12 Els, if ye goe backe, and cleaue vnto the rest of these nations: that is, of them that remaine with you, and shall make marriages with them, and goe vnto them, and they to you,
Tedae nangmih taengkah aka sueng namtom hlangrhuel taengah na mael na mael uh tih na hangdang uh, amih neh na yuva uh tih amih neh nangmih te na pawnhlai uh thae atah,
13 Knowe ye for certaine, that the Lord your God will cast out no more of these nations from before you: but they shall be a snare and destruction vnto you, and a whip on your sides, and thornes in your eyes, vntill ye perish out of this good land, which ye Lord your God hath giue you.
namtom rhoek he BOEIPA na Pathen loh na mikhmuh lamkah haek ham khoep voel mahpawh tila ming rhoe ming uh. BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih taengah m'paek khohmuen then lamkah na milh uh hil nangmih ham pael neh hlaeh bangla, na vae ah cungcik la, na mik khuiah tlaeh la om uh ni.
14 And beholde, this day do I enter into the way of all ye world, and ye know in al your heartes and in all your soules, that nothing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God promised you, but all are come to passe vnto you: nothing hath failed thereof.
Tihnin ah Kai loh diklai pum kah longpuei ah ka cet coeng. BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah a thui ol then boeih te tah ol pakhat khaw dalh pawh tila na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih neh na ming uh. Nangmih ham boeih ha thoeng tih a ol pakhat pataeng khaw a dalh sak moenih.
15 Therefore as all good things are come vpon you, which the Lord your God promised you, so shall the Lord bring vpon you euery euill thing, vntill he haue destroyed you out of this good land, which ye Lord your God hath giue you.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih taengah a thui ol then boeih loh nangmih ham a thoeng vanbangla, BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih m'paek khohmuen then dong lamkah nangmih m'mitmoeng sak hlan khuiah, hno thae cungkuem te nangmih soah BOEIPA loh hang khuen van ni.
16 When ye shall transgresse the couenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and shall goe and serue other gods, and bowe your selues to them, then shall the wrath of the Lord waxe hote against you, and ye shall perish quickely out of the good lande which he hath giuen you.
BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih ng'uen paipi te na poe uh, na cet uh tih pathen tloe rhoek taengah tho na thueng uh, amih te na bakop thil atah BOEIPA kah thintoek loh nangmih taengah ha sai vetih nangmih taengah m'paek khohmuen then dong lamkah baang na milh uh ni,” a ti nah.
