¹And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.

¹Huan, Josuain Israel nam tengteng Sekem ah a samkhawma, Israel pawl upate, a intekpente uh, a vaihawmmite uh, a heutute uh a sam saka; huan, Pathian maah hongkimusak chiat uhi.

²And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old on the other side of the river, Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, and they served other gods.

²Huan, Josuain mi tengteng kiangah, TOUPA, Israelte Pathianin hichiin a chi ahi: Na pipute uh nidanglaiin Lui khen lamah a teng ua, Abraham pa leh Nahor pa tera hialte leng: amauten pathian dangte na a sem ua.

³And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the river, and led him throughout the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed and gave him Isaac.

³Huan, na pu uh Abraham huai Lui gal akipan ka pi khiaa, a suante ka pungsaka, huai Isak ka pia hi.

⁴And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau; and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his sons went down into Egypt.

⁴Huan, Isaak tuh Jakob leh Esau ka piaa; huan, Esau bel a tantuam dingin Seri tang ka piaa: huan Jakob leh a tate Aigupta ah a pai suk ua.

⁵And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them; and afterwards I brought you out.

⁵Huan, Mosi leh Aron ka sawla, Aigupta gam a lak ua thillamdang hihin ka gawta: huan, huaikhitin ka honpi khia hi.

⁶And I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.

⁶Huan, na pipute uh Aigupta gam akipan ka pi khiaa: huan, tuipi na vatung ua; huchiin Aigupta miten na pipute uh kangtalaite leh sakol tungtuang mite toh Tuipi San tanin a delh ua.

⁷Then they cried to Jehovah, and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt; and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long time.

⁷Huan, amau TOUPA a sam ua, Aigupta mite toh na kikal uh a hongmialsak bikbeka, huan, tuipi a hontuamsaka, a tum mangtaa; huchiin Aigupta gama ka thilhih na mit un a mua: huan, gamdai ah sawtpi na om uh.

⁸And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan, and they fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and ye took possession of their land, and I destroyed them from before you.

⁸Huan, Jordan lui gala om Amor pawl gamah ka honpi a; huan, a hondou ua: huchiin na khut uah amau ka honpia a, a gamuh na luahta uh; huan, amaute ka honhihmansakta hi.

⁹And Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;

⁹Huan, Moab kumpipa Zipor tapa Balak a hongkisaa, Israel pawlte a nadoua; huan, Beor tapa Balaam nou honhamsiat dingin a samsaka:

¹⁰but I would not hearken unto Balaam, and he blessed you expressly, and I delivered you out of his hand.

¹⁰Himahleh Balaam huai Balaam thu ka ngaikhe nuam keia; huaijiakin nou a honvualjawl zosopta hi: huchiin a khut akipanin a honhonkheta hi.

¹¹And ye went over the Jordan, and came unto Jericho, and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.

¹¹Huan, Jordan lui na kan ua, Jeriko khua na tung tou ua; huan, Jeriko khuaa miten a honna dou ua, Amor pawlte, Periz pawlte, Kanan pawlte, Hit pawlte, Girgas pawlte, Hiv pawlte, Jebus pawlte toh; huchiin amau na khut uah ka honpeta a.

¹²And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, [as] the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

¹²Huan, na ma uah tunpi ka sawla, huaiin na ma uah a delha, Amor pawlte kumpipate nihte; na namsau uh hiam, na thalpeu uh hiam, inleng ahi sam kei hi.

¹³And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

¹³Huan, na sepkhiak hetlouh uh gam lehna bawl het louh uh khopite ka honpiaa, huaiahte na om ua; na suan louh uh grep huan leh oliv huan ate na ne ua, chiin.

¹⁴And now fear Jehovah and serve him in perfectness and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the river, and in Egypt; and serve Jehovah.

¹⁴Huaijiakin TOUPA laudan siam unla, chihtaktak leh dik takin a na sem unla: na pipute un Lui gal leh Aigupta gama a na a sep sak uh pathiante pai vekunla; TOUPA na sem un.

¹⁵And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods whom your fathers that were on the other side of the river served, or the gods of the Amorite, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah.

¹⁵Huan, TOUPA na sep hoih tuak lou banga na theih uh leh tuniin kua na ahia na sep ding uh tel mai un; na pipute un Lui gala a na a sep huai pathiante hia, na luah uh gam Amorte pathiante? kei leh inkuanten jaw TOUPA na ahi ka sep sin uh, a chi a.

¹⁶And the people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;

¹⁶Huan, mipiten, TOUPA Pathian pen paisana pathian dangte na ka sep louh dingdan uh;

¹⁷for Jehovah our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs before our eyes, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed!

¹⁷Amah TOUPA i Pathian ngeiin ahi i pipute toh Aigupta gam sal akipan honpi khiaa, i mitmuha chiamtehna thupi taktak hiha, i paina peuh leh, mipi tengteng i nawk paisuaknaa leng honvengbitpa:

¹⁸And Jehovah drove out from before us all the peoples, and the Amorites the inhabitants of the land: so therefore we will serve Jehovah, for he is our God.

¹⁸Huchiin TOUPAN i ma ngei uah nam chih huai gama om Amor pawlte ngei a delhkhe veka: huaijiakin kou leng TOUPA na ahi ka sep sin uh: amah leh ka pathian uh ahi ngala, a chi ua, a dawng uhi.

¹⁹And Joshua said to the people, Ye cannot serve Jehovah, for he is a holy God; he is a jealous ùGod; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

¹⁹Huan, Josuain mipite kiangah, TOUPA na na sem theikei ding uh; amah jaw Pathian siangthou ahi ngala; mullit hat Pathian ahia; na tatleknate uh lehna khelhnate uh a ngaidam kei ding.

²⁰If ye forsake Jehovah, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

²⁰TOUPA na paisan ua, nam dang pathiante na na sep uleh jaw, na tung ua hoihna piin na tunguah thil hoihlouin a honhih dinga, a hihmang mai ding ahi, a chi a.

²¹And the people said to Joshua, No; but we will serve Jehovah.

²¹Huan, mipiten, Josua kiangah, Hi lou e, TOUPA na ka sem kinken zo sin uh hi, a chi ua.

²²And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Jehovah, to serve him. And they said, [We are] witnesses.

²²Huan, Josuain mipite kiangah, A na sep tumin TOUPA na telta ngei mai uh chih thu theihpihte noumau mahmah na hi uhi, a chi a. Huan, amau Thu theihpihte ka hi uhi, a chi ua.

²³Now therefore put away the strange gods that are among you, and incline your heart unto Jehovah the God of Israel.

²³Huan, amahmahin, Huchi a hihleh na lak ua nam dang pathian omte koih mang unla, na lungtangte uh TOUPA, Israelte Pathian lamah hoisak un, achia.

²⁴And the people said unto Joshua, Jehovah our God will we serve, and to his voice will we hearken.

²⁴Huan, mipitenJosua kiangah, TOUPA i Pathian na ka sem ding ua, a thu ka jui jel ding uh, a chi uh.

²⁵So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

²⁵Huchiin Josuain huai niinmipite kiangah thu a khunga, Sekem khua ah dan leh vaihawmna a sehsak hi.

²⁶And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of Jehovah.

²⁶Huchiin Josuain huai thu Pathian dan bu ah a gelha; huan, suang lianpi a laaTOUPA mun siangthou china tosaw nuaiah a phut hi.

²⁷And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us, for it hath heard all the words of Jehovah which he spoke unto us; and it shall be a witness against you, lest ye deny your God.

²⁷Huan, Josuain mipi hon tengteng kiangah, Ngai un, hiai suang i thu hontheihpihtu hi hen; TOUPAN i kiang ua a thu a gen tengteng a za vekta hi: huaijiakin na thu uh hontheihpihtu ahi sin hi, huchi lou-in jaw Pathian na kitheihmohbawl kha ding uh, a chi a.

²⁸And Joshua dismissed the people, every man to his inheritance.

²⁸Huchiin Josuain mipite amau tantuam gam chiat ah a pai sakta hi.

²⁹And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, a hundred and ten years old.

²⁹Huan, hichi ahi a, huai thil khitin Nun tapa Josua, TOUPA sikha kum za leh kum sawma upa a si a.

³⁰And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the mountain of Gaash.

³⁰Huan, Gas tang mallampang, Ephraim tang gama amah tantuam gamgi sung Tinath-sera ah a vuita uh.

³¹And Israel served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders whose days were prolonged after Joshua, and who had known all the works of Jehovah, which he had done for Israel.

³¹Huan, Josua dam sung leh, upate khupa damte, TOUPAN Israelte adia thil a hih tengteng theihpihmite damsungin Israelten TOUPA na a sem jel uh.

³²And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem in the portion of the field which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs; and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

³²Huan, Israel suanten Aigupta gam akipan Joseph guh a puak touh uh sekem khuaa mun, Sekem pa Hamor tate akipana Jakobin dangka zaa a leinaah a vui ua; huan, huaite Joseph suante tuamin a hongomta a.Huan, Aron tapa Eleazar a si a; huan, Ephraim tang gama a tuam dia a piak uah a tapa Phinehas tangah a vui uh.

³³And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which had been given him in mount Ephraim.

³³Huan, Aron tapa Eleazar a si a; huan, Ephraim tang gama a tuam dia a piak uah a tapa Phinehas tangah a vui uh.
