< Joshua 1 >

1 And it came to pass, after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, —that Yahweh spake unto Joshua son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, saying:
Pakai lhacha Mose athiphatnin Nun chapa Mose lhacha a pang Joshua komma chun Pakaiyin thu ahin seijin,
2 Moses my servant, is dead, —Now, therefore, arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, into the land which I am giving unto them—unto the sons of Israel.
“Kalhacha Mose athitai, hijeh chun nangma kipatnin lang hiche Jordan hi galkaijin, nangle hiche mipiho hin Keiman Israel chate kapehna gam hi jonlut tauvin.
3 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread, unto you, have I given it, —as I spake unto Moses.
Mose koma kanateppehna bang banga chu hoilai mun hijongleh nakengphang’un achotphana muntin chu nangho kapehding nahiuve.
4 From the desert and this Lebanon, even unto the great river—the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea, toward the going in of the sun, shall be your boundary.
Gamthip gam le Lebanon gamma vadunglen changgei, Eupharates vadung, Hit mite gampumpi chuleh nisa lhumna lang twikhanglen changgei nagam’u hiding ahi.
5 No man shall stand before thee, all the days of thy life, —as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee, I will not fail thee, neither will I forsake thee.
Nahinkho lhumkeijuva namasang uva koimacha dingjoulou ding, Mose kana dinpi banga nangho jong kadinpi jingdiu, kadalhah louheldiu chuleh kanungsun louhel ding nahiuve.
6 Be firm and bold, —for, thou, shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers, —to give unto them.
Hatninlang hangin, hiche mite hi pehdinga apu apateu kanateppeh gamchu agoulo diuva nahoppeh ding ahi.
7 Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left, —that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest.
Hatninlang hangpou pouvin, Kalhacha Mose kanapeh danthu jouse nanit jouna dingin, hichea konhin jetlang hihen veiling hijongleh kiheimang hihbeh’in, chutileh nachena channa nakhantou theiding ahi.
8 This scroll of the law must not cease out of thy mouth, but thou must talk to thyself therein, day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein, —for, then, shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and, then, shalt thou have good success.
Hiche danthubu hi, nakamma kon mangthah louhel ding, amavang asun ajanna nageljoh ding, akijih dungjuija hi nachon jingdiu ahi. Chitilebou nakhantou ding chuleh nalolhin teiding'u ahi.
9 Have I not commanded thee, Be firm and bold, do not start nor be dismayed, —for, with thee, is Yahweh thy God, whithersoever thou goest?
Keiman thupeh kahinpeh louva nabol ham? Hatninlang hangin, kicha hihbeh’in, tijatna jong neihih in ajeh chu na Pakai na Pathennin nachena chan’uva nalhonpi jing dingu ahi,” ati.
10 So then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying:
Chujouchun, Josuha’in mipi lamkaiho chu thu apen hitin aseije,
11 Pass ye through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying: Make ready for yourselves, provisions, —for, in three days more, are ye to pass over this Jordan, to go in and possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, to possess.
“Ponbuh sunga khun cheuvin lang mipiho khu anehdiu akigot toh dingun gaseipeh’un, ajeh chu nithum sunga hi Jordan luipi khu nagalkaijuva Pakai na Pathen in napeh’u gamkhu galotauvin.
12 And, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying:
Chuleh Reuben phungleh Gad phung chuleh Mannasseh phung akehkhat ho kommachun Joshua’n hitin aseije,
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, —Yahweh your God, is granting you rest, and doth give you this land.
Pakai lhacha Mose’n nakom uva aseichu sumil hih’un, Pakai na Pathennun nakicholdosah tauvin, chuleh hiche gamhi napeh’u ahitai.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, —but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, —all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them;
Najiteule nachateu, chuleh naganchateu chu Mose’n napehnao hiche Jordan solam gamkaiyah hin umsah’un, ahinlah nalah’uva gal-hat hole mihangsan chengse chun galmanchah akipat uva asopihou masanga hi gal lamkaija pangdiu,
15 until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, —then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.
Pakaiyin nangho gam napeh banguva amaho jong alodiu gam apeh kahseuva nakithopidiu ahi. Chujouteng leh nahung kileuva Pakai lhacha Mose’n napehnao Jordan solam nagam uva nachendiu ahi.
16 Then responded they to Joshua, saying, —All that thou hast commanded us, will we do, and, whithersoever thou shalt send us, will we go:
Hitichun amahon Joshua chu adonbutnun, “Ipi hileh nangin neithupeh jouseu chu kaboldiu, chuleh neisol solnauva chu kache jengdiu ahi atiuve”.
17 As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee, —only let Yahweh thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
“Keihon Mose thu kanangai bang banguva chu imalam jousea nangma thujong kangai diu ahi. Pakai na Pathen chun Mose ana umpi bang bangin nangjong naumpi jinghen,” atiuve.
18 Any man who shall rebel against thy bidding, and not hearken unto thy words in all that thou shalt command him, shall be put to death, —only be firm and bold.
“Koi hileh nangma thupeh jouse chu nitlouva aumma, nahindouva aumpoupou leh thadoh jengding ahi. Hatninlang hangpou pouvin”.
