Joshua 22

1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

Joshua loh Reuben koca, Gad koca neh Manasseh koca hlangvang te koep a khue tih,

2 and said to them, "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.

“BOEIPA kah sal Moses lohnangmih n'uen te boeih ngaithuen uh lamtah nang kang uen boeih dongah kai ol he hnatun uh.

3 You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of the LORD your God.

Tihnin duela kum te yet na manuca rhoek te na hnoo uh pawt dongah BOEIPA na Pathen kah a kuek olpaek te na vai uh coeng.

4 Now the LORD your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan.

Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih taengah a thui vanbangla na manuca rhoek te a duem sak coeng. Te dongah mael uh lamtah Jordan rhalvangan ah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh nangmih m'paek na dap, na lo, na khohut te paan uh laeh.

5 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."

Tedae BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh nangmih ng'uen olpaek neh olkhueng rhep saii ham, BOEIPA na Pathen lungnah ham neh a longpuei cungkuem ah pongpa ham, a olpaek ngaithuen ham neh a taengah rhep hmaiben ham, amah te na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih neh thothueng ham te khaw ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.

6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.

Amih te Joshua loh yoethen a paek tih a tueih daengah amamih kah dap te a paan uh.

7 Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

Manasseh koca rhakthuem te Moses loh Bashan ah a phaeng coeng tih rhakthuem te tah Joshua loh khotlak Jordan rhalvangan, rhalvangan ah a pacaboeina neh hmaih a phaeng. Joshua loh amih te amamih kah dap la a tueih vaengah khaw amih te yoethen a paek bal.

8 and spoke to them, saying, "Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers."

Te vaengah amih te a thui pah tih, “Na dap te koeva neh a yet la boiva muep a yet nen khaw, cak nen khaw, sui nen khaw, rhohum nen khaw, thicung nen khaw, himbai nen khaw paan uh laeh. Na thunkha kah kutbuem muep aka yet te na manuca neh tael uh thae,” a ti nah.

9 The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of the LORD by Moses.

A mael uh vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca hlangvang loh Kanaan kho Shiloh kah Israel ca taeng lamloh nong uh tih Moses kut kah BOEIPA ol vanbangla khohut hmuen te buem ham, Gilead kho la cet uh.

10 When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.

Kanaan kho kah Jordan saa te a pha vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca rhakthuem tah Jordan ah hmueihtuk a suem uh. Te hmueihtuk te a mueimae la sang.

11 The children of Israel heard this, "Look, the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of Israel."

Tedae Israel ca rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek neh Manasseh koca rhakthuem loh Kanaan kho kah imdan, Jordan saa, Israel ca rhoek kah khongan ah hmueihtuk a suem uh ke,” a ti uh.

12 When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.

Israel ca rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah amih te caempuei neh paan thil ham Shiloh kah Israel ca rhaengpuei loh boeih tingtun uh.

13 The children of Israel sent to the descendants of Reuben, and to the descendants of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek loh Gilead kho kah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca rhakthuem taengla khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha te neh,

14 and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers' house for each of the tribes of Israel; and every one of them heads of ancestral houses among the thousands of Israel.

Israel koca imkhui boeih kah a napa, Israel ca thawngkhat imkhui kah a lu la aka om a napa rhoek lamkah khoboei khoboei neh khoboei parha te khaw a tueih uh.

15 They came to the descendants of Reuben, and to the descendants of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

Te dongah Gilead kho la a kun uh vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca rhakthuem te a voek uh.

16 "Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD, 'What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that you have built you an altar, to rebel this day against the LORD?

BOEIPA kah hlangboel boeih taengah ah, “Mebang boekoek aih lam lae Israel Pathen taengah boe na koek uh tih tihnin ah BOEIPA hnuk lamkah na balkhong uh van he? Namamih kah hmueihtuk na suem uh neh tihnin ah BOEIPA te na tloelh uh.

17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of the LORD,

Peor kathaesainah te mamih ham a rhoeh moenih a? Tihnin kah BOEIPA hlangboel dongah tlohthae aka om he n'caihcil mahpawt a?

18 that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? It will be, seeing that you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

Tihnin ah nangmih loh BOEIPA hnuk lamkah na bal uh nama. Tihnin ah BOEIPA na tloelh thil uh he thangvuen ah Israel rheangpuei pum taengah a thintoek bitni.

19 However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of the LORD, in which the LORD's tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.

Na khohut diklai ni a. rhalawt oeh atah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim loh a pai thil BOEIPA kah khohut diklai la ha kat uh lamtah kaimih saa dongkah he bawn uh mai saw. Tedae mamih Pathen BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk lakah namamih ham a tloe hmueihtuk na suem uh neh BOEIPA te tloelh thil uh boeh, kaimih khaw n'tloelh uh boeh.

20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man did not perish alone in his iniquity.'"

Yaehtaboeih neh boekoeknah la boe aka koek Zerah capa Akhan moenih a? Anih kathaesainah ah a thinhul loh Israel rhaengpuei boeih a tlak thil vaengah amah bueng hlang a pal moenih ko,” a ti uh.

21 Then the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,

Te vaengah Israel thawngkhat kah a lu rhoek te Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek neh Manasseh koca rhakthuem loh a doo uh tih,

22 "El, God, the LORD. El, God, the LORD. He knows; and Israel shall know. If it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against the LORD, do not save us this day,

“Pathen rhoek kah Pathen, pathen rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen, Yahweh loh a ming, Israel long khaw ming saeh. BOEIPA taengah tloelhnah la om oeh tih boekoeknah la a om atah tihnin ah kaimih he n'hlun uh boeh.

23 that we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let the LORD himself require it.

BOEIPA hnuk lamloh balkhong ham hmueihtuk ka suem uh khaw, a soah khocang hmueihhlutnah ka nawn uh mai cakhaw, a soah rhoepnah hmueih ka nawn uh mai cakhaw BOEIPA amah loh thuep nawn saeh.

24 If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, 'In time to come your descendants might speak to our descendants, saying, "What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

Tedae olka dongah mawnnah ham a om pawt dongah ka saii he thui sih. Thangvuen ah nangmih ca rhoek loh kaimih ca rhoek taengah a thui vetih, “Nangmih taeng neh Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah balae a benbonah,” ti saeh.

25 For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you descendants of Reuben and descendants of Gad. You have no portion in the LORD."' So your children might make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

BOEIPA loh kaimih laklo neh nangmih laklo ah rhi a suem coeng. Reuben koca neh Gad koca, BOEIPA dongah Jordan te nangmih kah khoyo moenih. Te dongah nangmih koca loh BOEIPA aka rhih pawh kaimih ca rhoek te kangkuen sak saeh.

26 Therefore we said, 'Let's now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;

Te dongah, “Hmueihtuk te sak ham mamih loh saii pawn sih, hmueihhlutnah ham moenih, hmueih ham moenih,” ka ti uh.

27 but it will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;' that your descendants may not tell our descendants in time to come, 'You have no portion in the LORD.'

Te tah kaimih laklo neh nangmih laklo ah, mamih hnukkah mamih cadilcahma laklo ah laipai la om saeh. BOEIPA kah thothuengnah te a mikhmuh ah mamih kah hmueihhlutnah neh, mamih kah hmueih neh, mamih kah rhoepnah neh thothueng sih. Te daengah ni thangvuen ah na ca rhoek loh kaimih ca rhoek taengah, “BOEIPA dongah khoyo te nangmih ham moenih,” a ti uh pawt eh.

28 Therefore we said, 'It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, "Look the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you."'

Thangvuen ah kaimih taeng neh n'cadilcahma rhoek taengah a thui uh atah te te ana om mai saeh ka ti uh. Te vaengah, “A pa rhoek loh BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk muei a saii uh te hmueihhlutnah ham pawt tih hmueih ham bal moenih, tedae kaimih laklo neh nangmih laklo kah laipai ni tila hmuh uh,’ ka ti uh bitni.

29 Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle."

BOEIPA te tloelh ham neh tihnin ah BOEIPA hnuk lamloh taengphael ham, a dungtlungim hmaikah mamih Pathen BOEIPA hmueihtuk phoeiah hmueihhlutnah ham, khocang ham neh hmueih ham hmueihtuk suem te kaimih nen tah savisava,” a ti uh.

30 When Phinehas the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.

Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek neh Manasseh ca rhoek kah a thui uh ol te khosoih Phinekha neh rhaengpuei kah khoboei rhoek, anih taengah aka om Israel ca thawngkhat kah a lu loh a yaak uh vaengah a mik cop uh.

31 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of Reuben, to the descendants of Gad, and to the descendants of Manasseh, "Today we know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against the LORD. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."

Te dongah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh ca rhoek te, Khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha loh, “BOEIPA te boekoeknah la boe na koek pawt tih Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA kut lamkah na huul uh coeng dongah BOEIPA loh mamih lakli ah om tila tihnin ah m'ming uh,” a ti nah.

32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the leaders, returned from the descendants of Reuben, and from the descendants of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

Te daengah Gilead kho kah khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha, Reuben ca rhoek neh Gad ca rhoek lamkah khoboei rhoek te Kanaan kho kah Israel ca rhoek taengla bal uh tih olka te a khuen uh.

33 The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad lived.

Ol te khaw Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a then coeng dongah Israel ca rhoek kah Pathen te a thangthen uh. Te dongah amih taengah caempuei la caeh ham, a khuikah khosa rhoek Reuben ca rhoek neh Gad ca rhoek kah khohmuen phae ham te thui uh voel pawh.

34 The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad called the altar: "A witness between us that the LORD is God."

Hmueihtuk te khaw Reuben ca rhoek neh Gad ca rhoek loh, “Kaimih laklo ah aka om BOEIPA Pathen kah laipai ni,”tila a sak uh.
