¹And it came to pass a long time after that Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua had become old, advanced in age,

¹Huan, Hichi ahi a, kum bangzah hiam a hih nunga, TOUPAN Israel pawlte a kim ua melma tengteng laka muanna a piak nungin Josua mah leng a hong upain, a hong tek mahmah ta a:

²that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am become old, advanced in age;

²Huchiin Josuain Israel pawl tengteng, a upate uh leh a intekpenpente uh, a vaihawmmite uh leh a heutute uh a sam saka, a kiang uah, Kei jaw ka na upain, ka na tek ta;

³and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you. For Jehovah your God is he that hath fought for you.

³TOUPA na Pathian un noute jiaka hiai namte tengteng tunga a hih dan na mu ua; TOUPA na Pathian un, amah mah hi noua dia gal hondou sak.

⁴Behold, I have divided unto you by lot for an inheritance, according to your tribes, these nations that remain, from the Jordan, as well as all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the great sea toward the sun-setting.

⁴Ngai un, hiai nam a omlaite hiai nam ka hihman khitsa tengteng gamte toh, Jordan akipana ni tumna lam tuipi lian phain chite gouluah dingin ka honsehsak.

⁵And Jehovah your God, he will expel them from before you, and dispossess them from out of your sight; and ye shall take possession of their land, as Jehovah your God hath said unto you.

⁵Huan, TOUPA na Pathian un na ma uah amau a delhkhe dinga, na muh batlouhna uah a hawlmang vek ding; huchiin TOUPA na Pathian un na kiang ua a gensa bangin a gam uh na tang ding uhi.

⁶And be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

⁶Huaijiakin Mosi dan laibua gelh tengteng taklamah, hiam veilamah hiam na pialsan het louhna ding un hangtakin pom unla, hih un;

⁷that ye enter not among these nations, these that remain among you; and ye shall make no mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them;

⁷Hiai nam na lak ua omlaite toh kipilhel loua a pathiante uh min leng lou loua, a min uh loua kichiam loua, a na uh leng sem loua, kuna chibai leng na buk louhna ding un:

⁸but ye shall cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.

⁸Tuni tana na hih gige bang un, TOUPA na Pathian uh lenkip gige jaw un.

⁹For Jehovah hath dispossessed from before you great and strong nations; and as to you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

⁹TOUPAN na ma uah chi thupi tak leh hattakte a delhkhe khinta hi: na ma uah tuni tanin kuamah pang thei himhim a om kei hi.

¹⁰One man of you chaseth a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath said unto you.

¹⁰Na lak ua mi khatin mi sang khat a delh ding: na kiang ua a gensa bangin, TOUPA na Pathian un nou adingin gal a hondou sak ahi.

¹¹Take great heed therefore unto your souls, that ye love Jehovah your God.

¹¹Huchiin TOUPAna Pathian uh it dingin pilvang pha mahmah un.

¹²For if ye in any wise go back, and cleave unto the residue of these nations, these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and come in unto them and they unto you:

¹²Pilvang loua, na lehngatsan himhim ua, hiai namte laka omlaite, na lak omlaite ngei, na pawlmat ua, amaute toh pasal leh jia na kineih ua, amaute na kithuahpih ua, amau leng nou honkithuahpih zenhouh ule jaw,

¹³know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more dispossess these nations from before you, and they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.

¹³TOUPA na Pathian un hiai namte na mitmuh un a hon delhkhiak sak nawn het kei ding hi, TOUPA na Pathian un hiai gam hoih tak a honpiakna akipan na manthat vek masiah uh amaute nou adingin pial leh thang leh, na nak ua dingin khetna chiang leh, na mit ua dingin ling a honghi zo ding uh chih tel takin thei un.

¹⁴And behold, I am going this day the way of all the earth; and ye know in all your heart, and in all your soul, that not one thing hath failed of all the good words that Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you: all are come to pass unto you -- not one thing hath failed thereof.

¹⁴Huan, ngai un, tuin lei pumpi dan bangin ka pai sinta ahi: TOUPA na Pathian un na tungtang ua a hoihlam a nagensa tengteng vuaksuak khat lel leng a om kei chih na lungtang tengteng uh leh na lungsim tengteng un na thei uhi; na tunguah a hongtung vektaa, khat lel leng vuaksuak a om kei.

¹⁵But it shall come to pass, that as every good word hath been fulfilled to you, that Jehovah your God spoke to you, so will Jehovah bring upon you every evil word, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you;

¹⁵Huan, hichi ahi dinga, TOUPA na Pathian un thil hoih na kiang ua a gen tengteng na tunguah a hongtung vekta mahbangin, TOUPA na Pathian un hiai gam hoihtak nou a honpiakna akipan a honmanthat sak vekmasiah TOUPAN thil hoihloute na tunguah a hongtung sak ding hi.TOUPA na Pathian uh thukhun, pom dinga a honpiak na tatlek san ua, pathian dangte na na sepsan ua, kuna chibai na buk uleh, TOUPA hehna na tunguah a om dinga, gam hoihtak a honpiak akipan na mangthang pah mai ding uh, a chi hi.

¹⁶when ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow yourselves unto them, so that the anger of Jehovah shall be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

¹⁶TOUPA na Pathian uh thukhun, pom dinga a honpiak na tatlek san ua, pathian dangte na na sepsan ua, kuna chibai na buk uleh, TOUPA hehna na tunguah a om dinga, gam hoihtak a honpiak akipan na mangthang pah mai ding uh, a chi hi.
