1Joshua loh Reuben koca, Gad koca neh Manasseh koca hlangvang te koep a khue tih,
1Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh
2“BOEIPA kah sal Moses lohnangmih n'uen te boeih ngaithuen uh lamtah nang kang uen boeih dongah kai ol he hnatun uh.
2and told them, “You have done all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and you have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
3Tihnin duela kum te yet na manuca rhoek te na hnoo uh pawt dongah BOEIPA na Pathen kah a kuek olpaek te na vai uh coeng.
3All this time you have not deserted your brothers, up to this very day, but have kept the charge given you by the LORD your God.
4Te dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih taengah a thui vanbangla na manuca rhoek te a duem sak coeng. Te dongah mael uh lamtah Jordan rhalvangan ah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh nangmih m'paek na dap, na lo, na khohut te paan uh laeh.
4And now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as He promised them, you may return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you across the Jordan.
5Tedae BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh nangmih ng'uen olpaek neh olkhueng rhep saii ham, BOEIPA na Pathen lungnah ham neh a longpuei cungkuem ah pongpa ham, a olpaek ngaithuen ham neh a taengah rhep hmaiben ham, amah te na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih neh thothueng ham te khaw ngaithuen uh,” a ti nah.
5But be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6Amih te Joshua loh yoethen a paek tih a tueih daengah amamih kah dap te a paan uh.
6So Joshua blessed them and sent them on their way, and they went to their homes.
7Manasseh koca rhakthuem te Moses loh Bashan ah a phaeng coeng tih rhakthuem te tah Joshua loh khotlak Jordan rhalvangan, rhalvangan ah a pacaboeina neh hmaih a phaeng. Joshua loh amih te amamih kah dap la a tueih vaengah khaw amih te yoethen a paek bal.
7(To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan, and to the other half Joshua gave land on the west side of the Jordan among their brothers.) When Joshua sent them to their homes he blessed them,
8Te vaengah amih te a thui pah tih, “Na dap te koeva neh a yet la boiva muep a yet nen khaw, cak nen khaw, sui nen khaw, rhohum nen khaw, thicung nen khaw, himbai nen khaw paan uh laeh. Na thunkha kah kutbuem muep aka yet te na manuca neh tael uh thae,” a ti nah.
8saying, “Return to your homes with your great wealth, with immense herds of livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and very many clothes. Divide with your brothers the spoil of your enemies.”
9A mael uh vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca hlangvang loh Kanaan kho Shiloh kah Israel ca taeng lamloh nong uh tih Moses kut kah BOEIPA ol vanbangla khohut hmuen te buem ham, Gilead kho la cet uh.
9So the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan to return to their own land of Gilead, which they had acquired according to the command of the LORD through Moses.
10Kanaan kho kah Jordan saa te a pha vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca rhakthuem tah Jordan ah hmueihtuk a suem uh. Te hmueihtuk te a mueimae la sang.
10And when they came to Geliloth near the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an imposing altar there by the Jordan.
11Tedae Israel ca rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek neh Manasseh koca rhakthuem loh Kanaan kho kah imdan, Jordan saa, Israel ca rhoek kah khongan ah hmueihtuk a suem uh ke,” a ti uh.
11Then the Israelites received the report: “Behold, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the border of the land of Canaan, at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side.”
12Israel ca rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah amih te caempuei neh paan thil ham Shiloh kah Israel ca rhaengpuei loh boeih tingtun uh.
12And when they heard this, the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh to go to war against them.
13Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek loh Gilead kho kah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca rhakthuem taengla khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha te neh,
13The Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the land of Gilead, to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
14Israel koca imkhui boeih kah a napa, Israel ca thawngkhat imkhui kah a lu la aka om a napa rhoek lamkah khoboei khoboei neh khoboei parha te khaw a tueih uh.
14With him they sent ten chiefs—one family leader from each tribe of Israel, each the head of a family among the clans of Israel.
15Te dongah Gilead kho la a kun uh vaengah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh koca rhakthuem te a voek uh.
15They went to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead and said to them,
16BOEIPA kah hlangboel boeih taengah ah, “Mebang boekoek aih lam lae Israel Pathen taengah boe na koek uh tih tihnin ah BOEIPA hnuk lamkah na balkhong uh van he? Namamih kah hmueihtuk na suem uh neh tihnin ah BOEIPA te na tloelh uh.
16“This is what the whole congregation of the LORD says: ‘What is this breach of faith you have committed today against the God of Israel by turning away from the LORD and building for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel against the LORD this day?
17Peor kathaesainah te mamih ham a rhoeh moenih a? Tihnin kah BOEIPA hlangboel dongah tlohthae aka om he n'caihcil mahpawt a?
17Was not the sin of Peor enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day? It even brought a plague upon the congregation of the LORD.
18Tihnin ah nangmih loh BOEIPA hnuk lamkah na bal uh nama. Tihnin ah BOEIPA na tloelh thil uh he thangvuen ah Israel rheangpuei pum taengah a thintoek bitni.
18And now, would you turn away from the LORD? If you rebel today against the LORD, tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
19Na khohut diklai ni a rhalawt oeh atah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim loh a pai thil BOEIPA kah khohut diklai la ha kat uh lamtah kaimih saa dongkah he bawn uh mai saw. Tedae mamih Pathen BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk lakah namamih ham a tloe hmueihtuk na suem uh neh BOEIPA te tloelh thil uh boeh, kaimih khaw n'tloelh uh boeh.
19If indeed the land of your inheritance is unclean, then cross over to the land of the LORD’s possession, where the LORD’s tabernacle stands, and take possession of it among us. But do not rebel against the LORD or against us by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.
20Yaehtaboeih neh boekoeknah la boe aka koek Zerah capa Akhan moenih a? Anih kathaesainah ah a thinhul loh Israel rhaengpuei boeih a tlak thil vaengah amah bueng hlang a pal moenih ko,” a ti uh.
20Was not Achan son of Zerah unfaithful regarding what was set apart for destruction, bringing wrath upon the whole congregation of Israel? Yet it was not only Achan who perished because of his sin!’”
21Te vaengah Israel thawngkhat kah a lu rhoek te Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek neh Manasseh koca rhakthuem loh a doo uh tih,
21Then the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the leaders of the clans of Israel:
22“Pathen rhoek kah Pathen, pathen rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen, Yahweh loh a ming, Israel long khaw ming saeh. BOEIPA taengah tloelhnah la om oeh tih boekoeknah la a om atah tihnin ah kaimih he n'hlun uh boeh.
22“The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! He knows, and may Israel also know. If this was in rebellion or breach of faith against the LORD, do not spare us today.
23BOEIPA hnuk lamloh balkhong ham hmueihtuk ka suem uh khaw, a soah khocang hmueihhlutnah ka nawn uh mai cakhaw, a soah rhoepnah hmueih ka nawn uh mai cakhaw BOEIPA amah loh thuep nawn saeh.
23If we have built for ourselves an altar to turn away from Him and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings on it, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the LORD Himself hold us accountable.
24Tedae olka dongah mawnnah ham a om pawt dongah ka saii he thui sih. Thangvuen ah nangmih ca rhoek loh kaimih ca rhoek taengah a thui vetih, “Nangmih taeng neh Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah balae a benbonah,” ti saeh.
24But in fact we have done this for fear that in the future your descendants might say to ours, ‘What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?
25BOEIPA loh kaimih laklo neh nangmih laklo ah rhi a suem coeng. Reuben koca neh Gad koca, BOEIPA dongah Jordan te nangmih kah khoyo moenih. Te dongah nangmih koca loh BOEIPA aka rhih pawh kaimih ca rhoek te kangkuen sak saeh.
25For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no share in the LORD!’ So your descendants could cause ours to stop fearing the LORD.
26Te dongah, “Hmueihtuk te sak ham mamih loh saii pawn sih, hmueihhlutnah ham moenih, hmueih ham moenih,” ka ti uh.
26That is why we said, ‘Let us take action and build an altar for ourselves, but not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.
27Te tah kaimih laklo neh nangmih laklo ah, mamih hnukkah mamih cadilcahma laklo ah laipai la om saeh. BOEIPA kah thothuengnah te a mikhmuh ah mamih kah hmueihhlutnah neh, mamih kah hmueih neh, mamih kah rhoepnah neh thothueng sih. Te daengah ni thangvuen ah na ca rhoek loh kaimih ca rhoek taengah, “BOEIPA dongah khoyo te nangmih ham moenih,” a ti uh pawt eh.
27Rather, let it be a witness between us and you and the generations to come, that we will worship the LORD in His presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and peace offerings.’ Then in the future, your descendants cannot say to ours, ‘You have no share in the LORD!’
28Thangvuen ah kaimih taeng neh n'cadilcahma rhoek taengah a thui uh atah te te ana om mai saeh ka ti uh. Te vaengah, “A pa rhoek loh BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk muei a saii uh te hmueihhlutnah ham pawt tih hmueih ham bal moenih, tedae kaimih laklo neh nangmih laklo kah laipai ni tila hmuh uh,’ ka ti uh bitni.
28Therefore we said, ‘If they ever say this to us or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the altar of the LORD that our fathers made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’
29BOEIPA te tloelh ham neh tihnin ah BOEIPA hnuk lamloh taengphael ham, a dungtlungim hmaikah mamih Pathen BOEIPA hmueihtuk phoeiah hmueihhlutnah ham, khocang ham neh hmueih ham hmueihtuk suem te kaimih nen tah savisava,” a ti uh.
29Far be it from us to rebel against the LORD and turn away from Him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings, or sacrifices, other than the altar of the LORD our God, which stands before His tabernacle.”
30Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek neh Manasseh ca rhoek kah a thui uh ol te khosoih Phinekha neh rhaengpuei kah khoboei rhoek, anih taengah aka om Israel ca thawngkhat kah a lu loh a yaak uh vaengah a mik cop uh.
30When Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation—the heads of Israel’s clans who were with him—heard what the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh had to say, they were satisfied.
31Te dongah Reuben ca rhoek, Gad ca rhoek, Manasseh ca rhoek te, Khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha loh, “BOEIPA te boekoeknah la boe na koek pawt tih Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA kut lamkah na huul uh coeng dongah BOEIPA loh mamih lakli ah om tila tihnin ah m'ming uh,” a ti nah.
31Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this breach of faith against Him. Consequently, you have delivered the Israelites from the hand of the LORD.”
32Te daengah Gilead kho kah khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha, Reuben ca rhoek neh Gad ca rhoek lamkah khoboei rhoek te Kanaan kho kah Israel ca rhoek taengla bal uh tih olka te a khuen uh.
32Then Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, together with the other leaders, returned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan and brought back a report regarding the Reubenites and Gadites in the land of Gilead.
33Ol te khaw Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a then coeng dongah Israel ca rhoek kah Pathen te a thangthen uh. Te dongah amih taengah caempuei la caeh ham, a khuikah khosa rhoek Reuben ca rhoek neh Gad ca rhoek kah khohmuen phae ham te thui uh voel pawh.
33The Israelites were satisfied with the report, and they blessed God and spoke no more about going to war against them to destroy the land where the Reubenites and Gadites lived.
34Hmueihtuk te khaw Reuben ca rhoek neh Gad ca rhoek loh, “Kaimih laklo ah aka om BOEIPA Pathen kah laipai ni,”tila a sak uh.
34So the Reubenites and Gadites named the altar Witness, for they said, “It is a witness between us that the LORD is God.”
