Joshua 24
1 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before Elohim.
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 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, [even] Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other elohim.
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 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and 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 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into 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 also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward 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 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
Ahinlah napu napa teohin twikhanglensan alhunphatnun, Egypt miten Sakol kangtalai jin nahin nungdel taovin ahi.
7 And when they cried unto YHWH, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
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 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from 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 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to 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 would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
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 And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.
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 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; [but] not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
Keiman Amor lengteni delmang dingin nangho masang’ah khoise kanasol masan ahi. Nagaljonao chu nachem muleh nathalpi ahipon ahi.
13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
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 Now therefore fear YHWH, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the elohim which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye YHWH.
“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 And if it seem evil unto you to serve YHWH, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the elohim which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the elohim of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve YHWH.
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 And the people answered and said, far be it from us that we should forsake YHWH, to serve other elohim;
Mipiten hitihin adonbut nuva, “Keihon itih hijongleh Pakai chu nungsunna semthu pathen dang kin kabollou heldiu ahi.
17 For YHWH our Elohim, he [it is] that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
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 And YHWH drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: [therefore] will we also serve YHWH; for he [is] our Elohim.
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 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve YHWH: for he [is] an holy Elohim; he [is] a jealous Elohim; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your 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 ye forsake YHWH, and serve strange elohim, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
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 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve YHWH.
Ahinlah mipiho chun Joshua chu adonbut un, “Ahipoi keihon Pakai kinchu kabol teidiu ahi” atiuve.
22 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye [are] witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you YHWH, to serve him. And they said, [We are] witnesses.
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 Now therefore put away, [said he], the strange elohim which [are] among you, and incline your heart unto YHWH Elohim of Israel.
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 And the people said unto Joshua, YHWH our Elohim will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
Mipite chun Joshua komma asejun, “Keihon, Pakai Pathen kinjong kaboldiu, ama thujengbou kangai diu ahi” atiuve.
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
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 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of Elohim, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that [was] by the sanctuary of YHWH.
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 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of YHWH which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your Elohim.
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 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
Hiche jouchun, Joshua’n mipihochu abonchan ainlam cheh a asoldohtan ahi.
29 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of YHWH, died, [being] an hundred and ten years old.
Hiche jouhin Pakai lhacha Nun chapa Joshua chu kum jakhat le somkhat alhinchun athitan ahi.
30 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which [is] in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.
Amahon ama gamchan dinga ana kipehna mun, Gaash mol sahlang Ephraim thinglhang gam Timnath-serah munnah anavui taovin ahi.
31 And Israel served YHWH all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of YHWH, that he had done for Israel. (overlived...: Heb. prolonged their days after Joshua)
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 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph. (pieces...: or, lambs)
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 the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill [that pertained to] Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
Aaron chapa Eleazer athitai. Amachu achapa Phinehas anakipe Gibeah khopi sung Ephraim thinglhangah anavuijun ahi.
