1At the same time Josue called the Rubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses,
1Joshua mah Reuben, Gad hoi Manasseh acaeng ahap to kawk moe,
2And said to them: You have done all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you: you have also obeyed me in all things,
2Nihcae khaeah, Angraeng ih tamna Mosi mah paek ih loknawk boih na sak o moe, ka thuih ih lok na pazui o boeh;
3Neither have you left your brethren this long time, until this present day, keeping the commandment of the Lord your God.
3canghnii hoi vaihni ni khoek to nangmacae nawkamyanawk to na caeh o taak ai; na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih tok to boeng khoek to na sak o.
4Therefore as the Lord your God hath given your brethren rest and peace, as he promised: return, and go to your dwellings, and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan:
4Vaihi loe Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nam nawkamyanawk han misa amdinghaih to paek boeh pongah, Angraeng ih tamna Mosi mah ang paek o ih Jordan vangpui yaeh ah kaom, nangmacae im hoi na toep o ih prae ah amlaem o lai ah.
5Yet so that you observe attentively, and in work fulfill the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you: that you love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, and keep all his commandments, and cleave to him, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul.
5Toe Angraeng ih tamna Mosi mah paek ih lok hoi kaalok to kahoih ah na pazui o hanah acoe oh; na Angraeng Sithaw to palung oh, anih ih loklam ah caeh oh, ang paek o ih loknawk baktiah sah oh, anih to kacakah patawn oh, na palungthin boih, na hinghaih boih hoiah a tok to sah oh, tiah a naa.
6And Josue blessed them, and sent them away, and they returned to their dwellings.
6Joshua mah nihcae tahamhoihaih paek moe, patoeh baktih toengah, nihcae doeh angmacae im ah amlaem o.
7Now to half the tribe of Manasses, Moses had given a possession in Basan: and therefore to the half that remained, Josue gave a lot among the rest of their brethren beyond the Jordan to the west. And when he sent them away to their dwellings and had blessed them,
7Ahap Manasseh acaeng hanah, Mosi mah Bashan prae to paek boeh; Joshua mah kalah ahap acaeng han doeh angmah ih nawkamyanawk salakah Jordan niduem bang ih prae to paek; Joshua mah nihcae to angmacae im ah patoeh naah, nihcae to tahamhoihaih paek.
8He said to them: With much substance and riches, you return to your settlements, with silver and gold, brass and iron, and variety of raiment: divide the prey of your enemies with your brethren.
8Joshua mah nihcae khaeah, Im ah nam laem o naah, paroeai hmuenmaenawk, paroeai maitawnawk, sui, sum kanglung, sum kamling, sum hoi kapop parai khukbuennawk hoiah amlaem oh; na misanawk khae hoiah na lak o ih hmuennawk to nam nawkamyanawk hoi amzet oh, tiah a naa.
9So the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses returned, and parted from the children of Israel in Silo, which is in Chanaan, to go into Galaad the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
9To pongah Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manasseh acaeng ah kaom kaminawk loe, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk ohhaih Kanaan prae thungah kaom, Shiloh vangpui to caeh o taak moe, angmacae mah qawk ah toep han kaom, Gilead prae ah amlaem o.
10And when they were come to the banks of the Jordan, in the land of Chanaan, they built an altar immensely great near the Jordan.
10Kanaan prae thung ih, Jordan vapui taeng to phak o naah, Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manasseh acaengnawk mah, Jordan vapui taengah, khet kamtueng kalen parai hmaicam maeto a sak o.
11And when the children of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers had brought them an account that the children of Ruben, and of Cad, and the half tribe of Manasses had built an altar in the land of Chanaan, upon the banks of the Jordan, over against the children of Israel:
11Khenah, Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manasseh acaengnawk mah Kanaan prae boenghaih Jordan vapui taengah, hmaicam maeto a sak o boeh ti, tiah Israel kaminawk mah thaih o.
12They all assembled in Silo, to go up and fight against them.
12To tamthang to a thaih o naah, Israel kaminawk loe nihcae tuk hanah Shiloh vangpui ah nawnto amkhueng o.
13And in the mean time they sent to them into the land of Galaad, Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest,
13To pongah Israel kaminawk mah qaima Eleazar capa Phinehas to, Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manasseh acaengnawk ohhaih, Gilead prae ah patoeh o,
14And ten princes with him, one of every tribe.
14Anih hoi nawnto zaehoikung kami hato, Israel acaeng maeto thung ih kacoehtanawk boih hoi Israel imthung takoh zaehoikung lu koeknawk to patoeh o.
15Who came to the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses, into the land of Galaad, and said to them:
15Nihcae loe Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manasseh acaengnawk ohhaih, Gilead prae ah caeh o moe, nihcae khaeah,
16Thus saith all the people of the Lord: What meaneth this transgression? Why have you forsaken the Lord the God of Israel, building a sacrilegious altar, and revolting from the worship of him?
16Angraeng ih kaminawk mah hae tiah lokthuih o; Nangcae loe vaihniah Angraeng ih loklam ah na caeh o ai, loklam nam khraeng o moe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw ih lok to na aek o; kawbangmaw vaihniah Angraeng ih lok na aek o moe, hae tiah hmaicam maeto na sak o halat?
17Is it a small thing to you that you sinned with Beelphegor, and the stain of that crime remaineth in us to this day? and many of the people perished.
17Peor ih zaehaih to aicae han khawt ai vop maw? To zaehaih pongah, Angraeng khae hoi ih kasae nathaih to kaminawk nuiah phak boeh, toe vaihni ni khoek to to zaehaih thung hoiah a ciim o ai vop!
18And you have forsaken the Lord today, and tomorrow his wrath will rage against all Israel.
18Vaihniah Angraeng khae hoi nam khraeng o ving boeh maw? Vaihniah Angraeng ih lok to na aek o nahaeloe, khawnbang ah loe anih palungphuihaih Israel kaminawk boih nuiah om tih boeh.
19But if you think the land of your possession to be unclean, pass over to the land wherein is the tabernacle of the Lord, and dwell among us: only depart not from the Lord, and from our society, by building an altar beside the altar of the Lord our God.
19Na toep o ih prae to panuet thok ah na sak o nahaeloe, Angraeng ih kahni im ohhaih, Angraeng prae ah angzo oh loe, kaicae khaeah om oh; aicae Angraeng Sithaw ih hmaicam na ai ah, kalah hmaicam maeto sakhaih hoiah Angraeng nuiah misa angthawk o hmah loe, kaicae nuiah doeh misa angthawk o hmah.
20Did not Achan the son of Zare transgress the commandment of the Lord, and his wrath lay upon all the people of Israel? And he was but one man, and would to God he alone had perished in his wickedness.
20Zerah capa Akaan mah tangoeng ih hmuen lak moeng ih zaehaih pongah, Israel kaminawk boih nuiah palungphuihaih om ai maw? Anih zaehaih pongah angmah khue to dueh ai, tiah a naa o.
21And the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and of the half tribe of Manasses answered the princes of the embassage of Israel:
21To naah Reuben, Gad hoi ahap Manasseh acaengnawk mah, Kami sangto ukkung Israel caanawk khaeah,
22The Lord the most mighty God, the Lord the most mighty God, he knoweth, and Israel also shall understand: If with the design of transgression we have set up this altar, let him not save us, but punish us immediately:
22sithawnawk ih Angraeng Sithaw! sithawnawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah panoek; Israel kaminawk mah doeh panoek o tih; hae hmaicam loe Angraeng misa angthawk thui haih maw, to ai boeh loe a lok tahngai ai ah sak ih hmaicam ah om nahaeloe, vaihniah kaicae hae pathlung o hmah,
23And if we did it with that mind, that we might lay upon it holocausts, and sacrifice, and victims of peace offerings, let him require and judge:
23Angraeng angqoi taak hanah hmaicam hae ka sak o maw, to tih ai boeh loe hmai angbawnhaih ka sak o maw, to tih ai boeh loe takaw tathlanghaih ka sak o maw, to tih ai boeh loe angdaeh angbawnhaih maw ka sak o nahaeloe, Angraeng angmah roe lokcaek nasoe;
24And not rather with this thought and design, that we should say: Tomorrow your children will say to our children: What have you to do with the Lord the God of Israel?
24hmabang ah na caanawk mah ka caanawk khaeah, Nangcae loe Israel Angraeng Sithaw hoi asaenghaih timaw na tawnh o?
25The Lord hath put the river Jordan for a border between us and you, O ye children of Ruben, and ye children of Gad: and therefore you have no part in the Lord. And by this occasion you children shall turn away our children from the fear of the Lord. We therefore thought, it best,
25Angraeng mah kaicae hoi nangcae, Reuben caanawk hoi Gad caanawk salakah ramri to a sak boeh; nangcae loe Angraeng hoi asaenghaih tidoeh om ai boeh, tiah nangcae ih caanawk mah kaicae ih caanawk khaeah thui o moeng ueloe, kaicae ih caanawk mah Sithaw zii ai ah khosah o moeng tih, tiah zithaih ka tawnh o pongah ni, hae hmuen hae ka sak o.
26And said: Let us build us an altar, not for holocausts, nor to offer victims,
26To pongah vaihi hmaicam maeto sah o si; toe hmai angbawnhaih hoi hmuen paekhaih to sak hanah patoh o hma si, tiah ka thuih o.
27But for a testimony between us and you, and our posterity and yours, that we may serve the Lord, and that we may have a right to offer both holocausts, and victims and sacrifices of peace offerings: and that your children tomorrow may not say to our children: You have no part in the Lord.
27Kaicae loe hmai angbawnhaih, hmuen paekhaih, angdaeh hmuen paekhaih hoiah Angraeng hmaa ah a tok to ka sak o, tiah hmabang angzo nangcae ih caanawk hoi kaicae ih caanawk salakah hnukung ah ohsak han ih, nangcae ih caanawk mah kaicae ih caanawk khaeah, Nangcae loe Angraeng ah toep ih qawk tidoeh na tawn o ai, tiah thuihaih oh han ai ih ni to tiah ka sak o.
28And if they will say so, they shall answer them: Behold the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for holocausts, nor for sacrifice, but for a testimony between us and you.
28To pongah hmabang ah nihcae mah, Aicae khae hoi aimacae ih caanawk khaeah hae tiah thui o nahaeloe, kaicae mah, Kaicae ampanawk loe hmai angbawnhaih hoi hmuen paek han ih na ai, nangcae hoi kaicae salakah hnukung ah oh hanah sak ih Angraeng hmaicam ih krang hae khen oh, tiah thui pae si, tiah ka thuih o.
29God keep us from any such wickedness that we should revolt from the Lord, and leave off following his steps, by building an altar to offer holocausts, and sacrifices, and victims, beside the altar of the Lord our God, which is erected before his tabernacle.
29Angraeng hmaa ah misa angthawk moe, vaihniah a caeh o ih loklam to amkhraeng taak moe, angmah ih kahni im hmaa ah kangdoe, aicae Angraeng Sithaw ih hmaicam ai ah loe, hmai angbawnhaih, canghum paekhaih hoi hmuen tathlanghaih sak hanah, kalah hmaicam roe ka sah o mak ai, tiah a naa o.
30And when Phinees the priest, and the princes of the embassage, who were with him, had heard this, they were satisfied: and they admitted most willingly the words of the children of Ruben, and Gad, and of the half tribe of Manasses.
30Qaima Phinehas, kaminawk zaehoikung hoi kami sangto zaehoikung Israel caanawk mah, Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manasseh acaeng mah thuih ih lok to thaih o naah, anghoe o.
31And Phinees the priest the son of Eleazar said to them: Now we know that the Lord is with us, because you are not guilty of this revolt, and you have delivered the children of Israel from the hand of the Lord.
31To naah qaima Eleazar capa Phinehas mah, Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi Manasseh acaengnawk khaeah, Nangcae loe Angraeng hmaa ah na zae o ai pongah, vaihniah Angraeng loe aicae salakah oh, tiah a panoek o; Angraeng ih ban thung hoiah Israel kaminawk to nangcae mah na pahlong o boeh, tiah a naa.
32And he returned with the princes from the children of Ruben and Gad, out of the land of Galaad, into the land of Chanaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
32To pacoengah qaima Eleazar capa Phinehas hoi zaehoikungnawk loe, Gilead prae ah kaom, Reuben acaeng hoi Gad acaeng khae hoiah amlaem o moe, Kanaan prae ah kaom, Israel kaminawk khaeah, to loknawk to thuih pae o let.
33And the saying pleased all that heard it. And the children of Israel praised God, and they no longer said that they would go up against them, and fight, and destroy the land of their possession.
33To lok to Israel kaminawk mah thaih o naah, anghoe o moe, Sithaw to saphaw o; to pacoeng hoi loe nihcae tuk hanah caeh moe, Reuben kaminawk hoi Gad kaminawk ohhaih prae to paro hanah thui o ai boeh.
34And the children of Ruben, and the children of Cad called the altar which they had built, Our testimony, that the Lord is God.
34Reuben kaminawk hoi Gad kaminawk mah, Angraeng loe Sithaw ni, tito hae ih hmaicam mah kaicae salakah hnukung ah om nasoe, tiah a thuih o pongah hmaicam to Ed, tiah ahmin sak o.
