1Israel koca rhoek boeih te Joshua loh Shekhem ah a tingtun sak. Te vaengah Israel kah a hamca rhoek neh a lu rhoek, laitloek rhoek neh rhoiboei rhoek te a khue tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a pai sak.
1Then Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem. He summoned the elders, leaders, judges, and officers of Israel, and they presented themselves before God.
2Te vaengah pilnam boeih taengah Joshua loh, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh, 'Khosuen kah na pa rhoek, Abraham kah a napa, Nakhaw kah a napa Terah loh tuiva kah rhalvangan ah kho a sak uh tih pathen tloe rhoek te tho a thueng thil uh.
2And Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your fathers, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates and worshiped other gods.
3Na pa Abraham te tuiva rhalvangan lamkah ka loh phoeiah anih te Kanaan kho tom la ka caeh puei. A tii a ngan te ka rhoeng ka rhoeng sak tih Isaak te anih taengah ka paek.
3But I took your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and led him through all the land of Canaan, and I multiplied his descendants. I gave him Isaac,
4Isaak taengah Jakob neh Esau te ka paek. Esau te pang sak ham Seir tlang te ka paek. Tedae Jakob tah a ca rhoek neh Egypt la suntla uh.
4and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau Mount Seir to possess, but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.
5Moses neh Aaron te ka tueih tih anih lakli kah ka saii hno neh Egypt te ka vuek phoeiah ni nangmih kang khuen pueng.
5Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptians by what I did there, and afterward I brought you out.
6Egypt lamkah na pa rhoek te ka khuen tih tuitunli na pha uh vaengah na pa rhoek hnuk te Egypt rhoek loh leng neh, marhang caem neh capu li duela a hloem uh.
6When I brought your fathers out of Egypt and you reached the Red Sea, the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Red Sea.
7Tedae BOEIPA taengla pang uh tih nangmih laklo neh Egypt laklo ah khohmuep hang khueh. Anih te tuili la a khuen tih a khuk. Egypt taengah ka saii te na mik loh a hmuh phoeiah kum te yet khosoek ah kho na sak uh coeng.
7So your fathers cried out to the LORD, and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, over whom He brought the sea and engulfed them. Your very eyes saw what I did to the Egyptians. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.
8Jordan rhalvangan kah kho aka sa Amori khohmuen la nangmih kang khuen kang khuen tih nangmih m'vathoh thil uh vaengah khaw amih te nangmih kut ah kam paek dongah amih kah khohmuen te na pang uh. Te vaengah amih te na mikhmuh lamkah ka mitmoeng sak.
8Later, I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan. They fought against you, but I delivered them into your hand, that you should possess their land when I destroyed them before you.
9Moab manghai Zippor capa Balak te thoo tih Israel a vathoh thil vaengah nangmih aka tap ham Beor capa Balaam te a tah tih a khue.
9Then Balak son of Zippor, the king of Moab, set out to fight against Israel. He sent for Balaam son of Beor to curse you,
10Tedae Balaam ol te hnatun ham ka huem pawt dongah nangmih te yoethen sak ham yoethen m'paek tih a kut lamkah nangmih te kan huul.
10but I would not listen to Balaam. So he blessed you again and again, and I delivered you from his hand.
11Te phoeiah Jordan na kat uh tih Jerikho la na kun uh vaengah Jerikho hlang, Amori, Perizzi neh Kanaani, Khitti neh Girgashi, Khivee, Jebusi loh nangmih te m'vathoh thil uh. Tedae amih te nangmih kut ah kan tloeng coeng.
11After this, you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. The people of Jericho fought against you, as did the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I delivered them into your hand.
12Te vaengah khoingal te nangmih hmai ah ka tueih tih Amori manghai rhoi mai nangmih mikhmuh lamkah a haek te nangmih kah cunghang nen moenih, nangmih kah palaa nen bal moenih.
12I sent the hornet ahead of you, and it drove out the two Amorite kings before you, but not by your own sword or bow.
13Te dongah nangmih taengah kam paek khohmuen te kohnue thil uh boeh. Khopuei rhoek te na thoong pawt cakhaw a khuiah na om uh tih na tue uh pawh misurdum neh olive na caak uh,’ a ti.
13So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities that you did not build, and now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’
14Te dongah BOEIPA te rhih uh lamtah a taengah oltak neh cuemthuek la thothueng uh. Tuiva rhalvangan neh Egypt ah na pa rhoek loh tho a thueng thil pathen rhoek te phil uh lamtah BOEIPA taengah thothueng uh.
14Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; cast aside the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
15BOEIPA te thothueng thil ham na mik ah a thae oeh atah na pa rhoek loh tuiva kah rhalvangan, rhalvangan ah tho a thueng thil pathen khaw, a khohmuen ah kho aka sa nangmih loh Amori pathen mai khaw, thothueng thil ham tihnin ah coelh uh laeh. Tedae kai neh ka imkhui tah Yahweh taengah ni tho ka thueng uh eh,” a ti nah.
15But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!”
16Te vaengah pilnam loh a doo tih, “BOEIPA hnoo ham neh pathen tloe rhoek taengah thothueng te kaimih ham tah savisava.
16The people replied, “Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods!
17Sal imkhui Egypt kho lamkah mamih neh a pa rhoek khaw mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh ng'caeh puei. Amah loh mamih mikhmuh ah miknoek a len len la a saii. Longpueng kah n'caeh khing vaengah mamih te n'dawndah dongah pilnam boeih kah a laklung ah ni ng'kat uh.
17For the LORD our God brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and performed these great signs before our eyes. He also protected us throughout our journey and among all the nations through which we traveled.
18Pilnam boeih neh khohmuen kah khosa Amori te BOEIPA loh mamih mikhmuh lamkah a haek. Amah te mamih kah Pathen la a om coeng dongah kaimih khaw BOEIPA taengah ni tho ka thueng uh eh,” a ti uh.
18And the LORD drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites who lived in the land. We too will serve the LORD, because He is our God!”
19Te phoeiah pilnam te Joshua loh, “BOEIPA he Pathen cim la a om dongah thothueng ham na coeng uh thai mahpawh. Amah he thatlai Pathen la a om dongah nangmih kah boekoek neh na tholhnah te khodawkngai mahpawh.
19But Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve the LORD, for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your rebellion or your sins.
20BOEIPA te na hnoo uh tih kholong pathen ni tho na thueng uh atah ha mael vetih nangmih soah thae a huet ni. Nangmih te ng'khah phoeiah nangmih taengah ha then ni,” a ti nah.
20If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, He will turn and bring disaster on you and consume you, even after He has been good to you.”
21Tedae pilnam loh Joshua taengah, “Moenih, BOEIPA taengah ni tho ka thueng uh eh,” a ti uh.
21“No!” replied the people. “We will serve the LORD!”
22Te vaengah pilnam te Joshua loh, “Namamih kah thothueng thil ham BOEIPA na tuek uh te namamih ni na laipai uh ,” a ti nah hatah, “Ka laipai uh coeng, ” a ti uh.
22Then Joshua told them, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to serve the LORD.” “We are witnesses!” they said.
23Te phoeiah, “Nangmih lakli kah kholong pathen rhoek te palet uh lamtah Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah na thinko te hong uh laeh,” a ti nah.
23“Now, therefore,” he said, “get rid of the foreign gods among you and incline your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.”
24Joshua taengah pilnam loh, “Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA te tho ka thueng vetih a ol te ka ngai uh ni,” a ti uh.
24So the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God and obey His voice.”
25Te vaeng khohnin ah Joshua loh pilnam ham moi a boh pah tih oltlueh neh laitloeknah te Shekhem ah a khueh pah.
25On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he established for them a statute and ordinance.
26Tekah olka te Pathen kah olkhueng cabu khuiah Joshua loh a daek. Lungto len te a loh tih BOEIPA rhokso kaep kah hlopthing hmuiah a ling.
26Joshua recorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that was near the sanctuary of the LORD.
27Te phoeiah pilnam pum te Joshua loh, “Mamih ham a thui BOEIPA ol boeih he anih loh a yaak coeng dongah mamih taengah laipai la hekah lungto loh om pawn ni he. Na Pathen taengah na basa uh ve ne. Te vaengah nangmih taengah laipai la om bitni ,” a ti nah.
27And Joshua said to all the people, “You see this stone. It will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD has spoken to us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny your God.”
28Te phoeiah pilnam te Joshua loh a rho a paan sak.
28Then Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.
29Tekah olka a om phoeiah BOEIPA kah sal Nun capa Joshua he kum ya parha a lo ca vaengah duek.
29Some time later, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of 110.
30Anih te amah kah rho rhi, Gaash tlang kah tlangpuei, Ephraim tlang kah Timnathkhehres ah a up uh.
30And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
31Joshua tue boeih neh Joshua hnukah hinglung aka vang, Israel ham a saii BOEIPA kah bibi boeih aka ming a hamca rhoek kah a tue khuiah tah Israel loh BOEIPA taengah ni tho a thueng.
31Israel had served the LORD throughout the days of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced all the works that the LORD had done for Israel.
32Joseph rhuh te Israel ca rhoek loh Egypt lamkah hang khuen uh te Jakob loh Shekhem napa Hamor ca rhoek taeng lamkah tangka yakhat neh a lai tih Joseph ca rhoek kah rho la aka coeng khohmuen, Shekhem khamyai ah a up uh.
32And the bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up out of Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the plot of land that Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver. So it became an inheritance for Joseph’s descendants.
33Aaron capa Eleazar khaw a duek vaengah a capa taengah a paek Ephraim tlang kah Phinekha som ah a up uh.
33Eleazar son of Aaron also died, and they buried him at Gibeah, which had been given to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.
