1Joshua mah Israel acaengnawk to Shekem vangpui ah amkhuengsak boih; kacoehtanawk, zaehoikungnawk, lokcaekkungnawk hoi ukkungnawk to a kawk moe, Angraeng hmaa ah amkhueng o.
1And Josue gathered together all the tribes of Israel in Sichem, and called for the ancients, and the princes, and the judges, and the masters: and they stood in the sight of the Lord:
2Joshua mah kaminawk boih khaeah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Canghniah Abraham hoi Nahor ampa Terah hoi nangcae ih amsaenawk loe, vapui yaeh ah khosak o moe, kalah prae kaminawk ih sithawnawk to a bok o.
2And he spoke thus to the people: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old on the other side of the river, Thare the father of Abraham, and Nachor: and they served strange gods.
3Toe nam pa Abraham to vapui yaeh hoiah ka lak moe, Kanaan prae thung boih ah ka zaeh; anih ih atii to ka pungsak moe, anih hanah Issak to ka paek.
3And I took your father Abraham from the borders of Mesopotamia: and brought him into the land of Chanaan: and I multiplied his seed,
4Issak hanah Jakob hoi Esau to ka paek; Esau mah qawk ah toep hanah Seir maeto ka paek, toe Jakob hoi a caanawk loe Izip prae ah caeh o tathuk.
4And gave him Isaac: and to him again I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave to Esau mount Seir for his possession: but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
5To pacoengah Mosi hoi Aaron to ka patoeh; Izip kaminawk mah sak o ih hmuen baktih toengah, Izip prae to raihaih ka paek; to pacoengah nangcae to kang hoih o.
5And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt with many signs and wonders.
6Nam panawk to Izip prae thung hoi ka zaeh naah, tuipui to a phak o; to naah Izip kaminawk mah nam panawk to hrang lakok hoiah hrang angthueng kaminawk mah tuipui kathim khoek to patom o.
6And I brought you and your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea: and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen, as far as the Red Sea.
7Toe nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah hangh o naah, anih mah nangcae hoi Izip kaminawk salakah vinghaih to phaksak moe, nihcae to tui uemsak boih; Izip prae ah ka sak ih hmuen to na hnuk o boeh; to pacoengah nangcae loe praezaek ah saning kasawkah na oh o.
7And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time:
8Jordan vapui yaeh ah kaom, Amor kaminawk ih prae ah kang caeh o haih; nihcae mah ang tuk o naah, nihcae to nangcae ban ah kang paek moe, nihcae ih prae to na lak o; nihcae to nangcae hmaa roe ah kam rosak.
8And I brought you into the land of the Amorrhite, who dwelt beyond the Jordan. And when they fought against you, I delivered them into your hands, and you possessed their land, and slew them.
9Moab siangpahrang, Zippor capa Balak mah angthawk moe, Israel kaminawk tuk naah, nangcae tangoengsak hanah Beor capa Balaam to a kawksak;
9And Balac son of Sephor king of Moab arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you:
10toe Baalam ih lok to ka tahngai pae ai; anih mah tahamhoihaih ang paek o; to pongah anih ban thung hoiah nangcae to kang pahlong o.
10And I would not hear him, but on the contrary I blessed you by him, and I delivered you out of his hand.
11To pacoengah Jordan vapui to nang kaat o moe, Jeriko na phak o naah, Jeriko kaminawk, Amor kaminawk, Periz kaminawk, Kanaan kaminawk, Hit kaminawk, Girgash kaminawk, Hiv kaminawk hoi Jebus kaminawk mah ang tuk o; toe nihcae to nangcae ban ah kang paek.
11And you passed over the Jordan, and you came to Jericho. And the men of that city fought against you, the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Gergesite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite: and I delivered them into your hands.
12Nangcae loe sumsen hoi kalii to na sin o ai, nangcae hmaa ah khoi to ka patoeh moe, Amor siangpahrang hnetto nangcae hmaa ah kang haek pae.
12And I sent before you hornets: and I drove them out from their places, the two kings of the Amorrhites, not with thy sword nor with thy bow.
13To pongah na sak o ai ih lawk hoi na sak o ai ih vangpuinawk to kang paek o moe, athung ah na oh o; nangcae mah na tling o ai ih, misur thaih hoi olive thaih to na caak o, tiah a thuih.
13And I gave you a land, in which you had not laboured, and cities to dwell in which you built not, vineyards and oliveyards, which you planted not.
14To pongah Angraeng to zii oh loe, loktang hoi oepthohhaih hoiah a tok to sah oh; nam saenawk mah Izip prae hoi vapui yaeh ah bok o ih sithawnawk to pahnawt oh loe, Angraeng ih tok to sah oh.
14Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him with a perfect and most sincere heart: and put away the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
15Toe Angraeng ih toksak loe hoih ai, tiah na poek o moe, vapui yaeh ah nam panawk mah bok o ih sithawnawk ih tok, to tih ai boeh loe vaihi na oh o haih Amor prae kaminawk mah bok o ih sithawnawk ih tok to na sak o han maw? Vaihniah qoi oh! Toe kai hoi ka imthung takoh loe, Sithaw tok ni ka sak o han, tiah a naa.
15But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
16To naah kaminawk mah, Kalah sithawnawk ih toksak hanah, Angraeng to ka pahnawt o mak ai;
16And the people answered, and said: God forbid we should leave the Lord, and serve strange gods.
17aicae Angraeng Sithaw, Anih mah ni aicae hoi aicae ampanawk to misong ah ohhaih, Izip prae thung hoiah zaeh moe, aicae mikhnuk ah kalen parai angmathaihnawk to sak; a caeh o haih ahmuen kruek, prae kaminawk salakah a caeh o naah doeh, anih mah ni ang pakaa.
17The Lord our God he brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: and did very great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed.
18Angraeng mah prae kaminawk to aicae hmaa hoiah haek; hae prae thungah kaom Amor kaminawk doeh a haek; anih loe kaicae ih Sithaw ah oh pongah, Angraeng ih tok ni ka sak o han, tiah a naa o.
18And he hath cast out all the nations, the Amorrhite the inhabitant of the land into which we are come. Therefore we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.
19Joshua mah kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng ih tok na sah o thai mak ai; anih loe ciimcai Sithaw ah oh moe, ut panoek Sithaw ah oh; anih mah na sak o pazae ih zaehaihnawk to tahmen mak ai.
19And Josue said to the people: You will not be able to serve the Lord: for he is a holy God, and mighty and jealous, and will not forgive your wickedness and sins.
20Anih loe nangcae nuiah kahoih hmuen to sak, toe Angraeng to na pahnawt o moe, prae kalah sithawnawk ih tok to na sak o taak ving nahaeloe, nangcae to angqoi taak ueloe, nangcae nuiah amrohaih phaksak pacoengah, nangcae to tamit boih tih, tiah a naa.
20If you leave the Lord, and serve strange gods, he will turn, and will afflict you, and will destroy you after all the good he hath done you.
21Toe kaminawk mah Joshua khaeah, To tih na ai ni! Angraeng ih tok ni ka sak o han, tiah a naa o.
21And the people said to Josue: No, it shall not be so as thou sayest, but we will serve the Lord.
22To naah Joshua mah kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng toksak han na qoih o boeh pongah, nangmacae roe to hnukung ah na oh o boeh, tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Kaimacae hae hnukung ah ka oh o boeh, tiah a naa o.
22And Josue said to the people: You are witnesses, that you yourselves have chosen you the Lord to serve him. And they answered: We are witnesses.
23To naah Joshua mah, To tih nahaeloe nangcae salakah kaom prae kalah kaminawk ih sithawnawk to vaihi va o boih loe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw bangah na poekhaih palungthin to suem oh, tiah a naa.
23Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel.
24Kaminawk mah Joshua khaeah, Ka Angraeng Sithaw ih tok to ka sak o moe, a lok ka tahngaih pae o han, tiah a naa o.
24And the people said to Josue: We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his commandments.
25To pongah to na niah, Joshua mah kaminawk hoi lokmaihaih to sak moe, Shekem vangpui ah nihcae han lokmaihhaih daan hoi toksakhaih atawk to a sak pae.
25Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem.
26Joshua mah hae ih loknawk hae Angraeng ih kaalok cabu thungah tarik pae; to pacoengah kalen parai thlung to lak moe, Angraeng ih hmuenciim taengah kaom, thing kamtak thing tlim ah a suek.
26And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord.
27Kaminawk boih khaeah, Khen oh, hae thlung loe aicae hnukung ah om tih; Angraeng mah aicae khaeah thuih ih loknawk boih hae thlung mah thaih boeh; na Angraeng Sithaw na pahnawt o moeng han ai ah, hae thlung hae nangcae hnukung ah om tih, tiah a naa.
27And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God.
28To pacoengah Joshua mah kaminawk boih angmacae qawktoep ih ahmuen ah amlaemsak let.
28And he sent the people away every one to their own possession.
29Hae hmuennawk boih oh pacoengah, Angraeng ih tamna, Nun capa Joshua loe saning cumvai, hato phak naah duek.
29And after these things Josue the son of Null the servant of the Lord died, being a hundred and ten years old:
30Anih loe angmah toep ih prae, Gaash mae aluek bangah kaom, Ephraim mae nui ih, Timnath-Serah ahmuen ah aphum o.
30And they buried him in the border of his possession in Thamnathsare, which is situate in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas.
31Israel kaminawk loe Joshua hing thung, Joshua pong saning kasawk kue ah kahing kacoehtanawk hing o nathung, Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk hanah sak pae ih hmuennawk boih panoek kaminawk hing o nathung, Angraeng ih tok to sak o.
31And Israel served the Lord all the days of Josue, and of the ancients that lived a long time after Josue, and that had known all the works of the Lord which he had done in Israel.
32Israel kaminawk mah Izip prae thung hoi sinh o ih Joseph ih ahuhnawk to, Jakob mah Shekem ampa Hamor ih caanawk khaeah, phoisa cumvaito hoiah qan ih Shekem vangpui taeng ih ahmuen ah aphum o; toe to long ahmuen loe Joseph ih caanawk mah qawk ah toep o ih ahmuen ah oh.
32And the bones of Joseph which the children of Israel had taken out of Egypt, they buried in Sichem, in that part of the field which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hemor the father of Sichem, for a hundred young ewes, and it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph.
33Aaron capa Eleazar doeh duek; anih loe a capa Phinehas khaeah paek ih, Ephraim mae nuiah aphum o.
33Eleazar also the son of Aaron died: and they buried him in Gabaath that belongeth to Phinees his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
