Joshua 23
1 And it comes to pass, many days after that YHWH has given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, that Joshua is old, entering into days,
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 and Joshua calls for all Israel, for his elderly, and for his heads, and for his judges, and for his authorities, and says to them, “I have become old; I have entered into days;
Isarel miphun a kum kacuenaw, bawinaw, lawkcengkungnaw hah a kaw teh, kai teh ka kumcue toung dawkvah, ka matawng toe.
3 and you have seen all that your God YHWH has done to all these nations because of you, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting 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 see, I have caused these nations who are left to fall to you for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan (and all the nations which I cut off), and the Great Sea [at] the [setting] 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 As for your God YHWH, He thrusts them from your presence, and has dispossessed them from before you, and you have possessed their land, as your God YHWH has spoken to 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 and you have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or left,
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh ni Mosi e phunglawk cauk dawk e lamthung hoi aranglah, avoilah phen laipalah, kaawm e patetlah na tarawi hanelah thoseh,
7 so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and you do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor do you swear, nor do you serve them, nor do you bow yourselves to 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 you cleave to your God YHWH, as you have done until this day.
Sahnin totouh na tarawi e patetlah, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut dawk kâhnai awh nahanelah taranhawinae lungthin tawn awh.
9 And YHWH is dispossessing great and mighty nations from before you; as for you, none has stood in your presence until 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 pursues a thousand, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to 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 and you have been very watchful for yourselves to love your God YHWH.
Hatdawkvah nangmae BAWIPA teh, na lungpataw thai nahan, takthai lungthin kâhruetcuet awh.
12 But—if you turn back at all and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to 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 certainly know that your God YHWH is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a trap, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to 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, I am going, today, in the way of all the earth, and you have known—with all your heart, and with all your soul—that there has not fallen one thing of all the good things which your God YHWH has spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there has not failed of it one thing.
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 has been, as there has come on you all the good thing which your God YHWH has spoken to you, so YHWH brings on you the whole of the evil thing, until His destroying you from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to 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 in your transgressing the covenant of your God YHWH which He commanded you, and you have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which He has given to 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.
