< Judges 2 >

1 And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the [place of] weeping, and to Baethel, and to the house of Israel, and said to them, Thus says the Lord, I brought you up out of Egypt, and I brought you into the land which I sware to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant that I have 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 And you shall make no covenant with them that dwell in this land, neither shall you worship their gods; but you shall destroy their graven images, you shall pull down their altars: but you listened not to my voice, for you did these things.
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 And I said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be for a distress to you, and their gods shall be to you for an offense.
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 And it came to pass when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Pakai, Vantil chun Israelte koma athusei chu achaiphat in mipi chu akapjah jengun ahi.
5 And they named the name of that place Weepings; and they sacrificed 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 And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his inheritance, to inherit the land.
Joshua’n amaho chu alhahdoh phat in, ama ama phungho cheh in agoulo mun agamsung cheh toupha ding in ache tauvin ahi.
7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days with Joshua, as many as knew all the great work of the Lord, what things he had wrought in 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 And Joshua the son of Naue, the servant of the Lord, died, a hundred and ten years old.
Pakai lhacha Nun chapa Joshua chu kum jakhat le som alhin-in ana thitan ahi.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance, in Thamnathares, in mount Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaas.
Amahon Gash mol sahlang Ephraim thinglhang gam, ama ana kipehna Timnath-serah gama chun anavui tauvin ahi.
10 And all that generation were laid to their fathers: and another generation rose up after them, who knew not the Lord, nor yet the work which he wrought in 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 And the children of Israel wrought evil before the Lord, and served Baalim.
Hichephat hin Israelten Pakai mitmun thilphalou tahtah ana boldoh tauvin, chule Baal doi-lim semthu hochu anahou tauve.
12 And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and walked after other gods, of the gods of the nations round about them; and they worshipped them.
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 And they provoked the Lord, and forsook him, and served Baal and the Astartes.
Amahon Pakai chu ana nungsun uva Baal leh Ashtoreth semthu pathen hojoh anahou tauvin ahi.
14 And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and he gave them into the hands of the spoilers, and they spoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, and they could not any longer resist their enemies,
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 among whoever they went; and the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord spoke, and as the Lord sware to them; and he greatly afflicted them.
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 And the Lord raised up judges, and the Lord save them out of the hands of them that spoiled them: and yet they listened not to the judges,
Chuin Pakaiyin Israelte chu ahindel khum houva kona, ahuhdoh ding'un thutan vaihom ho ana tundoh peh'uvin ahi.
17 for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them; and they turned quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked to listen to the words of the Lord; they did not so.
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 And because the Lord raised them up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them.
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 And it came to pass when the judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted [themselves] worse than their fathers to go after other gods to serve them an to worship them: they abandoned not their devices nor 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 And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and said, Forasmuch as this nation has forsaken my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,
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 therefore I will not any more cast out a man of the nations before their face, which Joshua the son of Naue left in the land. And [the Lord] left [them],
Keiman, Joshua'n athichan geija jousoh louva anadalhah nam mite chu kadeldoh pehlou ding ahitai.
22 to prove Israel with them, whether they would keep the way of the Lord, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or no.
Israelte apu apateuvin Pakai nung anajui banguva ajuiyuvam ajuilou uham ti, patepna keiman hichehi kabol ahi.” ati.
23 So the Lord will leave these nations, so as not to cast them out suddenly; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
Hiche jeh achu Pakaiyin hiche nam mite chu deldoh louva, Joshua chu abona anajosah lou ahi.
