1A long time after the LORD had given Israel rest from all the enemies around them, when Joshua was old and well along in years,
1Angraeng mah atue sawk parai thung ahnuk ahmaa misa salak hoi Israel caanawk misa amdinghaih paek pacoengah, Joshua loe saningcoeh boeh moe, mitong boeh.
2he summoned all Israel, including its elders, leaders, judges, and officers. “I am old and well along in years,” he said,
2To naah Joshua mah Israel kaminawk boih, kacoehtanawk, zaehoikungnawk, lokcaekkungnawk hoi ukkungnawk boih to kawk moe, nihcae khaeah, Kai loe saningcoeh boeh moe, mitong boeh;
3“and you have seen everything that the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake, because it was the LORD your God who fought for you.
3na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae han misa ang tuk pae pongah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah hae prae kaminawk nuiah angsak pae ih hmuennawk to na hnuk o boih boeh.
4See, I have allotted as an inheritance to your tribes these remaining nations, including all the nations I have already cut off, from the Jordan westward to the Great Sea.
4Khenah, Jordan vapui hoi kamtong niduem bangah kaom kalen parai tuipui khoek to, ka pazawk tangcae kalah prae kaminawk ih praenawk hoi kanghmat nihcae ih prae to, taham khethaih phoisa vah hoiah na caengnawk hanah qawk ah ka paek boeh.
5The LORD your God will push them out of your way and drive them out before you, so that you can take possession of their land, as the LORD your God promised you.
5Na Angraeng mah nangcae khaeah lokkam baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah nihcae to nangcae hmaa hoi haek ueloe, nihcae haek boih pacoengah, nihcae ih prae to na toepsak tih.
6Be very strong, then, so that you can keep and obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, not turning aside from it to the right or to the left.
6To pongah nangcae loe Mosi ih kaalok cabu thungah tarik ih lok to bantang bangah maw, banqoi bangah maw amkhraeng taak han ai ah, na pazui o moe, na sak o thaih hanah acoe oh;
7So you are not to associate with these nations that remain among you. You must not call on the names of their gods or swear by them, and you must not serve them or bow down to them.
7nangcae salakah kaom hae kalah prae kaminawk hoi angkom o hmah; nihcae sithawnawk ih ahmin to kawk o hmah loe, nihcae sithaw ih ahmin hoiah lokkamhaih sah o hmah; nihcae ih tok sah o hmah loe, a hmaa ah doeh akuep o hmah:
8Instead, you shall hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.
8vaihni ni khoek to na sak o ih baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw to kacakah patawn oh.
9The LORD has driven out great and powerful nations before you, and to this day no one can stand against you.
9Angraeng mah kalen parai, thacak parai acaengnawk to nangcae hmaa hoiah ang haek pae o phaeng boeh; vaihni ni khoek to mi doeh nangcae hmaa ah angdoe o thai ai.
10One of you can put a thousand to flight, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as He promised.
10Anih mah nangcae khaeah lokkam baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae han misatuk pongah, nangcae thung ih kami maeto mah kami sangto na patom o thaih.
11Therefore watch yourselves carefully, that you love the LORD your God.
11To pongah na Angraeng Sithaw palung thai hanah, nangcae loe acoehaih palungthin hoiah kahoih ah khosah oh.
12For if you turn away and cling to the rest of these nations that remain among you, and if you intermarry and associate with them,
12Toe hnukbang ah nang nawn o moe, nangcae salakah kanghmat hae kalah prae kaminawk hoiah nang kom o moe, nihcae hoi imthong na krak o pacoengah, nihcae hoi nang kom o nahaeloe,
13know for sure that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations before you. Instead, they will become for you a snare and a trap, a scourge in your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that the LORD your God has given you.
13na Angraeng Sithaw mah hae prae kaminawk hae nangcae hmaa hoi na haek pae mak ai boeh; na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae han paek ih, hae prae kahoih thungah nang hmaa nang taa o ai karoek to, nihcae loe nangcae han patungh ih thaang hoi dongh ah om o ueloe, panak bohhaih cung hoi miknuen ah om o tih, tiah panoek oh.
14Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know with all your heart and soul that not one of the good promises the LORD your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed.
14Kai loe vaihi long kaminawk boih caehhaih ahmuen ah ka caeh tom boeh; na Angraeng Sithaw mah ang thuih o ih kahoih loknawk loe maeto doeh, anghmaa ai, tiah palungthin boih hoiah na panoek o; a thuih ih loknawk loe maeto doeh anghmaa ai ah akoep boeh.
15But just as every good thing the LORD your God promised you has come to pass, likewise the LORD will bring upon you the calamity He has threatened, until He has destroyed you from this good land He has given you.
15Toe na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae khae lokkam ih kahoih loknawk loe akoep boih baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae han paek ih, kahoih hae prae thung hoiah nangcae anghmasak boih ai karoek to, Angraeng mah kasae hmuennawk nangcae boih nuiah phasak tih.
16If you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from this good land He has given you.”
16Na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae khae paek ih, a lokkamhaih to na aek o, anih to nang qoi o taak moe, kalah sithawnawk ih tok to na sak pae o pacoengah, nihcae hmaa ah na kuep o nahaeloe, Angraeng palungphuihaih nangcae nuiah hmai baktiah kangh ueloe, ang paek ih kahoih prae thungah karangah nang hmaa o tih, tiah a naa.
