< Judges 2 >

1 And the messenger of Yahweh came up from Gilgal, unto Bochim. And he said—I led you up out of Egypt, and brought you into the land, which I had sworn unto your fathers, And I said, I will not break my covenant with you, to times age-abiding;
BOEIPA puencawn te Gilgal lamloh Bokim la cet tih, “Na pa rhoek taengah ka caeng vanbangla nangmih te Egypt lamkah kan doek tih nangmih he khohmuen khuila kang kun puei coeng. Te dongah, 'Nangmih taengkah ka paipi te kumhal duela ka phae mahpawh.
2 But, ye, must not solemnise a covenant with the inhabitants of this land, Their altars, must ye tear down, —But ye have not hearkened unto my voice, what is this ye have done?
Tedae khohmuen kah khosa rhoek neh paipi na saii uh mahpawh. A hmueihtuk te palet pa uh,’ ka ti lalah ka ol na ngai kolla bahamlae he he saii uh?
3 Wherefore also I said, I will not drive them out from before you, —but they shall be your adversaries, and, their gods, shall become unto you a snare.
Te dongah, 'Amih te na mikhmuh lamkah ka haek voel pawt vetih voeivang ah nangmih taengah kho a sak uh ni, amih kah pathen nangmih taengah hlaeh la om uh ni,’ ka ti coeng,” a ti.
4 And it came to pass, when the messenger of Yahweh had spoken these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
He ol he BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Israel ca rhoek boeih taengah a thui vaengah pilnam loh a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh.
5 So they called the name of that place, Bochim, and offered sacrifice there, unto Yahweh.
Te dongah tekah hmuen te Bokim tila ming a sak uh tih BOEIPA te pahoi a nawn uh.
6 Now, when Joshua had let the people go, the sons of Israel went their way, every man to his inheritance, to take possession of the land.
Joshua loh pilnam te a tueih daengah, Isreal ca rhoek loh a rho te rhip a paan uh tih khohmuen te a huul uh.
7 And the people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, —and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh which he had wrought for Israel.
Joshua tue boeih neh Joshua phoeikah hinglung aka vang a hamca rhoek, Israel ham a len la a saii pah BOEIPA bibi boeih aka hmu rhoek kah a tue khuiah tah pilnam loh BOEIPA taengah tho a thuenguh.
8 So then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, —being a hundred and ten years old.
BOEIPA kah sal Joshua, Nun capa Joshua tah ya neh kum rha a lo ca vaengah duek.
9 And they buried him within the bounds of his inheritance, in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, —on the north of Mount Gaash.
Anih te Gaash tlang, tlangpuei Ephraim tlang Timnathkhehres kah amah rho rhi ah a up uh.
10 All that generation also, were gathered unto their fathers, —and there arose another generation, after them, who had not known Yahweh, nor even the work which he had wrought for Israel.
Te vaengkah cadilcahma boeih loh a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh tih amih hnukah aka poe cadilcahma long tah BOEIPA khaw, Israel ham a saii pah bibi te ming uh pawh.
11 So the sons of Israel did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, —and served the Baals;
Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii uh tih Baal te tho a thueng thiluh.
12 and forsook Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were round about them, and bowed themselves down unto them, —and angered Yahweh.
A napa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen, Egypt kho lamkah amih aka khuen te a hnoo uh. A kaepvai kah pilnam pathen, pathen tloe rhoek kah a hnuk te a vai uh tih a bakop thil uh dongah BOEIPA te a veet uh.
13 Yea, they forsook Yahweh, —and did service unto the Baal and unto Ashtaroth.
BOEIPA te a hnoo uh. Baal neh Ashtoreth taengah tho a thuenguh.
14 Then kindled the anger of Yahweh upon Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of spoilers, who plundered them, —and he sold them into the hand of their enemies round about, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.
BOEIPA kah thintoek loh Israel taengah sai tih aka tuk aka vat rhoek kut ah a tloeng dongah amih te a reth uh. Amih te kaepvai kah a thunkha rhoek kut ah a yoih coeng dongah a thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah koep pai uh thai voel pawh.
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of Yahweh was found to be against them for misfortune, as spake Yahweh, and as sware Yahweh unto them, —and they were distressed exceedingly.
BOEIPA loh a thui tih amih taengah BOEIPA loh a caeng vanbangla a caeh uh takuem ah BOEIPA kut loh amih taengah yoethaenah la a om pah tih amih te mat a daengdaeh.
16 And, though Yahweh raised up judges, —who saved them out of the hand of them that plundered them,
Tedae lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a phoe sak dongah amih aka tuk aka vat kut lamloh amih a khang la om.
17 yet, even unto their judges, did thy not hearken, for they went unchastely astray after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them, —they turned aside speedily out of the way wherein their fathers who hearkened unto the commandments of Yahweh, walked, they did not so.
Tedae amih kah lai aka tloek te khaw hnatang uh pawh. Te dongah pathen tloe rhoek taengah cukhalh uh tih amih taengah bakop uh. A napa rhoek kah a pongpa nah longpuei te koeloe a phaelh uh tih BOEIPA olpaek hnatun ham he saii uh pawh.
18 And, when Yahweh raised them up judges, then was Yahweh with the judges, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies, all the days of the judge, —for Yahweh was grieved at their outcry, because of them who oppressed them, and ill-treated them.
Amih ham lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a phoe sak vaengah khaw lai aka tloek te BOEIPA loh a om puei. Amih aka nen tih amih aka huet mikhmuh ah a nguekcoinah te BOEIPA khaw hal tih lai aka tloek kah a tue khuiah tah a thunkha kut lamloh amih te a khang.
19 But, when the judge was dead, they again broke faith more than their fathers, by going their way after other gods, by serving them, and bowing themselves down to them, —they ceased not from their doings nor from their stubborn way.
Tedae lai aka tloek te a duek vaengah tah mael uh bal tih a napa rhoek lakah taoe poci uh. Amih taengah thothueng ham neh amih te bawk ham a tloe pathen hnukah pongpa uh. A khoboe neh a mangkhak longpuei te voei uh pawh.
20 So then the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, and he said—Forasmuch as this nation have transgressed my covenant, which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice,
Te dongah BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh Israel taengah sai tih, “A napa rhoek ham ka uen, ka paipi te namtu loh a poe tih kai ol hnatun uh pawh.
21 I also, will no further dispossess a man from before them, —from among the nations which Joshua left remaining, when he died;
Namtom lamkah te amih mikhmuh ah hlang haek hamla ka koei mahpawh. Te te Joshua loh a hnoo tih amah khaw duek coeng,” a ti.
22 that I may, by them, put Israel to the proof, —whether they are going to be observant of the way of Yahweh, to walk therein as their fathers observed it, or not.
Israel loh BOEIPA kah longpuei a ngaithuen tih a khuiah pongpa ham te a napa rhoek kah a ngaithuen bangla a ngaithuen pawt khaw amih te a noem.
23 Thus then Yahweh left these nations, not dispossessing them speedily, —neither had he delivered them into the hand of Joshua
Te dongah BOEIPA loh namtom rhoek te koeloe a haek kolla a paih tih Joshua kut ah tloeng pah pawh.
