< Joshua 1 >

1 Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of YHWH, that YHWH spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying,
BAWIPA Cathut e san Mosi a due hnukkhu Mosi e yueng lah thaw ka tawk han e, Nun capa Joshua teh, BAWIPA Cathut ni,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.
Kaie ka san Mosi te a due toe. Hatdawkvah nama hoi na taminaw pueng atu thaw awh nateh Jordan palang namran lah rakat awh leih. Isarel miphunnaw kai ni na poe e ram dawk kâen sak leih.
3 I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.
Mosi koe lawk ka kam e patetlah nang ni na coungroe e talai pueng teh nangmouh na poe han.
4 From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Perath, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
Kahrawng pueng hoi Lebanon mon koehoi, Euphrates palangpui koehoi Hitnaw e ram abuemlah hoi, kanîloumlah tuipui totouh nangmae ram lah ao han.
5 No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.
Na hringyung thung pueng nange na hmalah apihai kangdout thai mahoeh. Mosi koe kai ka o e patetlah nang koehai kai ka o han. Kai ni na pahnawt mahoeh, na cetkhai mahoeh.
6 Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
Tha kâlat nateh, taranhawi haw. Mintoenaw koe na poe han ka tie kai ni lawk ka kam e ramnaw hah râw lah a coe awh nahanlah na rei han.
7 Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
Hatdawkvah kaie ka san Mosi koe ka poe e kâlawk pueng tarawi nahanelah, tha kâlat nateh, taranhawinae tawn haw. Na ceinae tangkuem koe tânae na hmu thai nahan, avoilah aranglah phen hanh.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
Hote kâlawk cauk dawk thut e pueng heh na tarawi thai na hanelah, Cakathoung hah touk laipalah awm hanh. Karum khodai pout laipalah luepluep na pouk han. Hottelah na sak pawiteh, nang ni kho na khang e dawk tânae na hmu han.
9 Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for YHWH your God is with you wherever you go.
Nang teh kai ni lawk na thui nahoehmaw. Tha kâlat nateh taranhawinae tawn haw, taket hanh, na lungpout hanh. Na cei nah tangkuem koe nang hoi rei ka o atipouh.
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Hahoi Joshua ni kahrawikungnaw hah a kaw teh,
11 "Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which YHWH your God gives you to possess it.'"
Ransanaw a onae tangkuem koe cet awh. Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe awh e ram thung kâen awh nahanelah, hnin thum touh thung hete Jordan palang namran lah raka hanelah ao dawkvah, lamvon sin hanelah taminaw hah patuen dei pouh leih telah lawk a thui.
12 Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,
Hahoi Joshua ni Reuben miphun, Gad miphun, Manasseh miphun, tangawn hah a kaw teh,
13 "Remember the word which Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you, saying, 'YHWH your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.
BAWIPA Cathut e san Mosi ni nangmanaw lawk na thui e heh pahnim awh hanh. Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh hanelah hete ram thung hmuen na ta pouh awh toe.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them
Na yunaw na canaw, hoi saringnaw hah Jordan palang kanîtholah Mosi ni na poe e ram thung ao awh han. Hateiteh, senehmaica ka patuem e a thakaawme na hmaunawngha ransanaw pueng e hmalah na raka vaiteh, ahnimanaw hah na kabawp han.
15 until YHWH has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which YHWH your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of YHWH gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.'"
Cathut ni nangmanaw hmuen na ta pouh e patetlah hmaunawnghanaw hah hmuen na poe awh hoehnahlan nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe awh e ram heh, ahnimanaw ni ram be a la hoehroukrak, a tha kaawm e, taran ka tuk e abuemlah ni senehmaica patuep nalaihoi hmaunawnghanaw e hmalah a raka awh vaiteh, na tawmdawm han tie lawk hah pouk awh. Cathut e san Mosi ni Jordan palang Kanîtholae ram koe lah bout na ban han atipouh.
16 They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
Hottelah, ahnimouh nihai, nang ni na dei e pueng teh, kaimouh ni ka sak awh han na patoun e pueng koe ka sak awh han.
17 Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may YHWH your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
Bang pueng dawk hai Mosi e lawk ka ngâi awh e patetlah nange lawk ka ngâi awh han. Hatdawkvah nange BAWIPA Cathut ni Mosi koe a okhai e patetlah nang koe haiyah awm van lawiseh.
18 Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn't listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."
Nange kâ ka ek e tami pueng hoi nange lawk ka ngaihoeh e tami pueng, nange kâlawk ka tapoe e tami pueng teh thei lah ao han. Hatdawkvah, tha kâlat nateh na taranhawi hottelah Joshua koe bout atipouh awh.
