Joshua 24
1 And Joshua gathered all the tribe of Israel to Selo, and convoked their elders, and their officers, and their judges, and set them before God.
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 to all the people, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers at first sojourned beyond the river, [even] Thara, the father of Abraam and the father of Nachor; and they served other gods.
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 Abraam from the other side of the river, and I guided him through all the land, and I multiplied his seed;
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 to him Isaac, and to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau mount Seir for him to inherit: and Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt, and became there a great and populous and mighty nation: and the Egyptians afflicted them.
Isaac chu Jacob le Esau kanapen ahi. Esau chu Seir molsang langchu kanapen, Jacob le achilhahte chu Egypt langa anache suh un ahi.
5 And I struck Egypt with the wonders that I wrought among them.
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 afterwards [God] brought out our fathers from Egypt, and you entered into the Red Sea; and the Egyptians pursued after our fathers with chariots and horses into the Red Sea.
Ahinlah napu napa teohin twikhanglensan alhunphatnun, Egypt miten Sakol kangtalai jin nahin nungdel taovin ahi.
7 And we cried aloud to the Lord; and he put a cloud and darkness between us and the Egyptians, and he brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in the land of Egypt; and you were in the wilderness many days.
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 he brought us into the land of the Amorites that lived beyond Jordan, and the Lord delivered them into our hands; and you inherited their land, and utterly 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 And Balac, king of Moab, son of Sepphor, rose up, and made war against Israel, and sent and called Balaam to curse us.
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 the Lord your God would not destroy you; and he greatly blessed us, and rescued us out of their hands, and delivered them [to us].
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 you crossed over Jordan, and came to Jericho; and the inhabitants of Jericho fought against us, the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Chettite, and the Gergesite, and the Lord delivered them into our hands.
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 he sent forth the hornet before you; and he drove them out from before you, [even] twelve kings of the Amorites, not with your sword, nor with your bow.
Keiman Amor lengteni delmang dingin nangho masang’ah khoise kanasol masan ahi. Nagaljonao chu nachem muleh nathalpi ahipon ahi.
13 And he gave you a land on which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you were settled in them; and you eat [of] vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant.
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 And now fear the Lord, and serve him in righteousness and justice; and remove the strange gods, which our fathers served beyond the river, and in Egypt; and serve the Lord.
“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 But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose to yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, among whom you dwell upon their land: but I and my house will serve the Lord, for he is holy.
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 to forsake the Lord, so as to serve other gods.
Mipiten hitihin adonbut nuva, “Keihon itih hijongleh Pakai chu nungsunna semthu pathen dang kin kabollou heldiu ahi.
17 The Lord our God, he is God; he brought up us and our fathers from Egypt, and kept us in all the way wherein we walked, and among all the nations 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 the Lord cast out the Amorite, and all the nations that inhabited the land from before us: yes, we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.
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 to the people, Indeed you will not be able to serve the Lord, for God is holy; and he being jealous will not forgive your sins and your transgressions.
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 Whenever you shall forsake the Lord and serve other gods, then he shall come upon you and afflict you, and consume you, because he has 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 to Joshua, Nay, but we will serve the Lord.
Ahinlah mipiho chun Joshua chu adonbut un, “Ahipoi keihon Pakai kinchu kabol teidiu ahi” atiuve.
22 And Joshua said to the people, You [are] witnesses against yourselves, that you have chosen the Lord to serve him.
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 And now take away the strange gods that are among you, and set your heart right toward the Lord God 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 to Joshua, We will serve the Lord, and we will listen to his voice.
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 on that day, and gave them a law and an ordinance in Selo before the tabernacle of the God of Israel.
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 he wrote these words in the book of the laws of God: and Joshua took a great stone, and set it up under the oak before the Lord.
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 to the people, Behold, this stone shall be among you for a witness, for it has heard all the words that have been spoken to it by the Lord; for he has spoken to you this day; and this [stone] shall be among you for a witness in the last days, whenever you shall deal falsely with the Lord my God.
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 And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his place.
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 Naue the servant of the Lord died, [at the age] of a hundred and ten years.
Hiche jouhin Pakai lhacha Nun chapa Joshua chu kum jakhat le somkhat alhinchun athitan ahi.
30 And they buried him by the borders of his inheritance in Thamnasarach in the mount of Ephraim, northward of the mount of Galaad.
Amahon ama gamchan dinga ana kipehna mun, Gaash mol sahlang Ephraim thinglhang gam Timnath-serah munnah anavui taovin ahi.
31 And Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived as long as Joshua, and all that knew all the works of the Lord which he wrought for Israel.
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 children of Israel brought up the bones of Joseph out of Egypt, and buried [them] in Sicima, in the portion of the land which Jacob bought of the Amorites who lived in Sicima for a hundred ewe-lambs; and he gave it to Joseph for a portion.
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 it came to pass afterwards that Eleazar the high-priest the son of Aaron died, and was buried in Gabaar of Phinees his son, which he gave him in mount Ephraim.
Aaron chapa Eleazer athitai. Amachu achapa Phinehas anakipe Gibeah khopi sung Ephraim thinglhangah anavuijun ahi.
