¹And it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' attendant, saying,

¹Huan, Hichi ahia, TOUPA sikha Mosi sih nungin Mosi nasempa Nun tapa Josua kiangah TOUPAN,

²Moses my servant is dead; and now, rise up, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land which I give unto them, to the children of Israel.

²Ka sikha Mosi a sitaa; huchiin thou inla, nang leh hiai mipite tengteng toh Jordan lui kan unla, amau, Israel suante ka piak gamah pai un.

³Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread have I given to you, as I said unto Moses.

³Mosi kianga ka gensa bangin na khepek ua na sik peuhmah uh ka pe vek ding.

⁴From the wilderness and this Lebanon to the great river, the river Euphrates, the whole land of the Hittites, to the great sea, toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

⁴Gamdai akipan leh hiai Lebanon tang akipana lui lianpi Euphrates lui phaa, Hitte gam tengteng, ni tumna lama tuipi zatak phain na gamgi uh ahi ding.

⁵None shall be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee; I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.

⁵Na damsung teng kuamah himhimin honnangzou kei ding: Mosi kianga ka om bangin, nang kiangah leng ka om tei sin hi; ka honjuausan kei dinga, pai leng ka honpaisan sam kei ding hi.

⁶Be strong and courageous, for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn unto their fathers to give them.

⁶Hat tak leh hang takin omin: a suante uh kichiama piak ka nachiamsa gam, hiaite lah na luahsak sin ngala.

⁷Only be strong and very courageous, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded thee. Turn not from it to the right or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

⁷Ka sikha Mosiin dan tengteng jui dinga thu a honpiak jui chinten dingin hattak leh hangtakin om peuhmah photin: na paina peuha na lamzanjel theihna dingin na taklamah hiam, na veilamah hiam pialsan het ken.

⁸This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth; and thou shalt meditate upon it day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein; for then shalt thou have good success in thy ways, and then shalt thou prosper.

⁸Hiai dan buin na kam pawtsan het kei hen; huai thu gelhtengteng na zuih chinten theihna dingin sun leh janin na ngaihtuah zo ding hi: huchiin na lampite na tuahphasak dia, na honglamzang jel ding hi.

⁹Have I not commanded thee: Be strong and courageous? Be not afraid, neither be dismayed; for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

⁹Thu ka honpia hi lou hiam? Hat tak leh hang takin omin; lau kenla, lunglel sam ke: TOUPA na Pathian na paina peuha na kianga om jel ding ahi, chiin a gen a.

¹⁰And Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

¹⁰Huchiin Josuain mipi heutute thu a piaa,

¹¹Go through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare yourselves victuals, for in three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, that ye may enter in to take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it.

¹¹Giahmun vasik unla, mipite kiangah, Nekding khawng su tuahdih ua, nithum sungin TOUPA na Pathian un gam luah ding a honpiak luah dingin Jordan lui na kan sin uhi, chiin, thu pia un chiin.

¹²And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh spoke Joshua, saying,

¹²Huan, Reuben te, Gad te leh Manassi nam kimkhatte kiangah Josuain,

¹³Remember the word that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God has given you rest and has given you this land.

¹³TOUPA na Pathian un khawlna a honpiaa, hiai a honpe sin chia TOUPA sikha Mosiin thu a honpiak theigige un.

¹⁴Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall abide in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan, but ye, all the valiant men, shall go over in array before your brethren and help them,

¹⁴Na jite uh, na ta neu chikchikte u leh na gan honte uh jaw Jordan lui gala Mosiin gamahonna piak ah a om ding ua; nou mi hat hangsante teng bel na galvan un nana pai masa ding ua, na unaute uh na panpih ding ua,

¹⁵until Jehovah give your brethren rest as to you, and they also take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth them; then shall ye return into the land of your possession and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sun-rising.

¹⁵TOUPAN na unaute uh noute bangmaha khawlna a piaka, TOUPA na Pathian un a hon gam piak amauten leng a luah mateng uh: huchiin TOUPA sikha Mosiin Jordan lui gal, ni suahna lam gam noua tuam dia honna piakna lamah na kihei nawn ding ua, na luah ding uh ahi, chiin a gen a.

¹⁶And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us will we do, and whither thou shalt send us will we go.

¹⁶Huan, amau, Hih dinga na honthupiak tengteng ka hih jel ding uh, huan, na honsawlna peuh ah leng ka pai jel ding uh.

¹⁷According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so will we hearken to thee; only may Jehovah thy God be with thee as he was with Moses.

¹⁷Banglam peuha Mosi thu ka jui jel uh bangin, nang thu leng ka jui jel ding uh; TOUPA na Pathian Mosi kianga a om sek bangin nang kiangah leng om peuhmah phot hen.Kuapeuh na thupiak tunga hela, thu na piak peuhmah jui nuam lou jaw hihlup dinga hi ding uh; hattakin leh hangtakin ompeuhmah photin, chiin Josua a dawng uh.

¹⁸Every one that is rebellious against thy commandment and hearkeneth not to thy words in everything that thou commandest us, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.

¹⁸Kuapeuh na thupiak tunga hela, thu na piak peuhmah jui nuam lou jaw hihlup dinga hi ding uh; hattakin leh hangtakin ompeuhmah photin, chiin Josua a dawng uh.
