< Joshua 23 >

1 And it came to pass after many days, when the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;
BAWIPA ni a tengpam kaawm e tarannaw abuemlae kut dawk hoi Isarel miphunnaw a hlout sak teh, roumnae hah atueng moikasawlah a poe hnukkhu, Joshua teh a kumcue teh a matawng toung dawkvah,
2 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said unto them: 'I am old and well stricken in years.
Isarel miphun a kum kacuenaw, bawinaw, lawkcengkungnaw hah a kaw teh, kai teh ka kumcue toung dawkvah, ka matawng toe.
3 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God, He it is that hath fought for you.
Nangmae Cathut teh nangmouh hanelah, hete miphun abuemlah dawkvah, a sak e pueng hah nangmouh ni na panue awh toe. Nangmae BAWIPA ni nangmouh koe lah, taran a tuk toe.
4 Behold, I have allotted unto you for an inheritance, according to your tribes, these nations that remain, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun.
Jordan palang hoi kamtawng teh, kanîloum tuipui totouh, kai ni ka tâ e miphunnaw hoi kaawm rae hete miphun a onae ram hah, nangmae miphunnaw ni râw coe hanelah, cungpam ka rayu awh teh, kai ni na rei awh toe.
5 And the LORD your God, He shall thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God spoke unto you.
Nangmae BAWIPA ni lawkkam e patetlah hete miphunnaw hah, pâlei awh nateh, nangmouh ni na hmu hoeh nahanlah, a pâlei vaiteh, ahnimae talai hah, nangmouh ni abuemlah na coe awh han.
6 Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh ni Mosi e phunglawk cauk dawk e lamthung hoi aranglah, avoilah phen laipalah, kaawm e patetlah na tarawi hanelah thoseh,
7 that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor worship them;
nangmouh koe kaawm rae, hete miphunnaw hoi kâkalawt awh hanh. Ahnimae cathut min lahoi thoebo awh han, a hmalah khokcuengkhuem awh hanh, na lûsaling sin awh han.
8 but cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day;
Sahnin totouh na tarawi e patetlah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut dawk kâhnai awh nahanelah taranhawinae lungthin tawn awh.
9 wherefore the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and mighty; but as for you, no man hath stood against you unto this day.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kalen ni teh a thakaawmpounge miphunnaw hah, BAWIPA ni nangmae hmalah a pâlei teh sahnin totouh nangmae hmalah, pihai kangdout thai hoeh.
10 One man of you hath chased a thousand; for the LORD your God, He it is that fought for you, as He spoke unto you.
Nangmouh buet touh ei nakunghai alouke tami 1,000 touh na yawng sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA ni lawkkam e patetlah nangmouh koe lah taran a tuk.
11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
Hatdawkvah nangmae BAWIPA teh, na lungpataw thai nahan, takthai lungthin kâhruetcuet awh.
12 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you;
Nahoeh pawiteh, nangmouh ni na kamlang teh nangmouh koe kaawm rae naw hah, hete miphunnaw na kângue awh teh, na kâpaluen awh pawiteh,
13 know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you, and a scourge in your sides, and pricks in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
Nangmae BAWIPA ni hete miphunnaw hah nangmae hmalah hoi bout pâlei mahoeh toe. Nangmae BAWIPA ni na poe e kahawipoung e ram dawk nangmouh teh kahmakata hoehroukrak, ahnimouh teh nangmouh hanelah karap, tangkhek, na nâ dawk hemnae rui, na mit dawk pâkhing lah ao han telah kamcengcalah panuek awh.
14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth; consider ye therefore in all your heart and in all your soul, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof.
Kai teh talai tami pueng ceinae lam dawk sahnin ka cei han toe. Nangmae BAWIPA ni nangmouh hanelah, na poe e hawinae buet touh hai payoun hoeh. Abuemlah a kuep sak tie hah, nangmouh ni na lungthin thung vah na panue awh.
15 And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon you of which the LORD your God spoke unto you, so shall the LORD bring upon you all the evil things, until He have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
Nangmae BAWIPA ni lawk a kam e patetlah hawinae pueng teh, nangmae lathueng vah a pha patetlah nangmae BAWIPA ni na poe e, hete ram kahawi e dawk hoi nangmanaw hah koung na raphoe hoehroukrak, BAWIPA ni nangmae lathueng vah rucatnae naw hah a pha sak han.
16 When ye transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which He hath given unto you.'
Nangmanaw teh, nangmae BAWIPA ni na ta pouh e lawkkam hah na payon awh teh, alouke cathut koe na cei teh, lû na saling pawiteh, BAWIPA a lungkhuek vaiteh, na poe tangcoung e ram kahawi dawk hoi nangmanaw teh karanglah na thup awh han telah a pathang pouh.
