¹Huchiin Josuain Reuben pawlte, Gad pawlte, Manassi nam kimkhatte a sama,

¹Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

²A kiang uah, TOUPA sikha Mosiin thu a honpiak peuhmah na pom jel ua, thu ka honpiak peuhmah nou leng na pom jeljel ua:

²And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

³Hichitan tuni phain na unaute uh na manggilh kei ua, TOUPA na Pathian un hih dinga thu a honpiak na jui jel ua.

³Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

⁴Huchiin TOUPA na Pathian un a kiang ua na gensa bangin na unaute uh muanna a napeta hi: huaijiakin TOUPA sikha Mosiin Jordan gala na tantuam ding ua a honna gam piaksa ah, na puanin lamte uah pai nawnta un.

⁴And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

⁵TOUPA sikha Mosiin TOUPA na Pathian uh ita, a lampi tengteng tawna, a thupiakte poma, amah len chintena, na lungtang tengteng u leh na kha tengteng ua a nasem chiatchiat dinga thu a hon na piak uh, huai thupiak leh dante pilvang takin limsak phat mahmah tum phot mai un, a chi a.

⁵But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

⁶Huchiin Josuain amau a vualjawla, a paisaktaa; huchiin a puanin lam uahte a paita uhi.

⁶So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.

⁷Huan, Manassi nam kimkhatte Mosiin Basan gamah tantuam a piaa: a kimkhat dangte bel Josuain tumlam pangah Jordan galah a uanaute laka tantuam a pe zota hi. Huan, Josuain a inlam ua a paisak sin lain a vualjawla,

⁷Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,

⁸A kiang uah, Na puanin lam uahte hausa takin paita unla, gan tampi toh, dangka te toh, dangkaeng toh, dal toh, sik toh, silhlehten tampi toh: na melmate ua kipana a gallakte uh na unaute uh toh kihawm dialdial un, chiin a gen hi.

⁸And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

⁹Huan, Reuben suante leh, Gad suante leh Manassi nam kimkhatte a kik nawn ua, Kanan gam Silo khua akipan Israel suante kiang akipanin Gilead gam, TOUPAN Mosi zanga thu a napiak bangin amau tantuam ding mawnga sehsa gama hoh dingin a pawtta uhi.

⁹And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

¹⁰Huan, Kanan gama Jordan uk a vatun un Reuben suante leh, Gad suante leh, Manassi nam kimkhatten Jordan lui geiah maitam lianpi kholang mahmah a na doh ua.

¹⁰And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.

¹¹Huan, Israel suanten, Ngai un, Reuben suante leh Gad suan te leh, Manassi nam kimkhatte Kanan gam chintak, Jordan uk, Israel suante gam lampang ah maitam a doh uh, chia mi gen a ja ua.

¹¹And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.

¹²Huan, huai Israel suanten a jak un, Israel suan mipite tengteng amaute vadou tumin Silo khua ah a kikhawm dudup ua.

¹²And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.

¹³Huan, Israel suanten Gilead gama Reuben suante leh, Gad suante leh, Manassi nam kimkhatte kiangah siampu Eleazar tapa Phinehas a sawl ua;

¹³And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

¹⁴A kiangah mi lian sawm, Israel pawl nam laka inkuana intekpenpen jel ahi uh.

¹⁴And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.

¹⁵Huan, Reuben suante leh, Gad suante leh, Manassi nam kimkhatte kiangah Gilead gamah a hoh ua, a kiang uah,

¹⁵And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,

¹⁶TOUPA mipite tengtengin, Israelte Pathian tungah bang ahia na hihkhel uh, TOUPA tungah tunia hel tuma maitam dohin tunia TOUPA na lehngatsan uh?

¹⁶Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?

¹⁷Peor muna tatsiatnate, eia dinga neu luaa simtheih ahi maw? tutanin leng huai i khelhnate i kisilsiang zou kei ua, TOUPA mipite lakah leng hi leng napiin,

¹⁷Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

¹⁸Tunia TOUPA lehngatsan na tup mai jen uh? huchiin tunin TOUPA tunga na nahelte maimah ua jingchiang ajaw Israel mipi tengteng tunga heh ngeingei ding eive.

¹⁸But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

¹⁹Himahleh na gam luah uh a buah leh, TOUPA gamsung, TOUPA biakbuk omna munah hongpai sam unla, ka lak uah teng teita mai unla; ahihhangin TOUPA i Pathian un a chih louh maitam dang bawlin TOUPA tungah hel kei unla, kou tungah leng hel dahta un.

¹⁹Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.

²⁰Zer tapa Akanin muhdah thilah thil a hihkhial a, Israel mipite tengteng tungah hehna a hongoma hi kei maw? huai mi amah tatsiatna ah amah bekbek a mangthang tuamkei ve leh, chi uh eive, chiin a gen a.

²⁰Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

²¹Huchiin Reuben suante leh, Gad suante leh, Manassi nam kimkhatten Israel pawl nam intekpente a dawng ua, a kiang uah,

²¹Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,

²²TOUPA, pathiante Pathian, TOUPA, pathiante Pathianin a thei: Israel pawlin leng a thei ding uh; ka maitam bawl uh TOUPA lehngatsan tupa, hel tupna hiam thil hihkhelh tupna hiama bawl ka hih uleh, (tuniin leng honhawi dah mai un),

²²The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)

²³Halmang thillatna ding hiam, nekding thillatna ding hiam, lemna thillatna dinghiam a hihleh, amah TOUPA mahmahin honphut leh ake.

²³That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;

²⁴Tu nungchiangin na suante un ka suante uh kiangah, Nou TOUPA, Israelte Pathian banga na zat phak teina uh om ahia?

²⁴And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?

²⁵Nou Reuben suante leh Gad suante aw, TOUPAN kou leh nou dingin Jordan gamgi chiang dinga a bawl ei ve; TOUPA ah tantuam na nei tei kei uh, a honchi kha ding uh chia, pilvan jiaka a jiak neitaka ka hih uh ahi: na suante pawlin kou suante TOUPA kihtak siamdan theilouin a bawl khe thei uhi.

²⁵For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

²⁶Huaijiakin, kisa un, maitam I bawl ding uh, halmang thil latna ding leh kithoihna ding bel hi louin:

²⁶Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

²⁷Kou leh, nou leh, I nung ua I suante kikalah theihna ahi dinga huchiin ka halmang thillatte uh leh ka kithoihnate uh leh, ka lemna thillatte ua TOUPA na ka sep theihna ding un leh, na suante un leng tunung chia ka suante uh kianga TOUPA ah tantuam na nei tei kei uh, a honchih louhna ding un, ka chi ua ahi.

²⁷But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.

²⁸Huaijiakin, Hichi ahi dinga tunung chianga ka kiang uh hiam, ka suante uh kiang hiam huchibanga a honchih chiang ua kou, En ve ua, ka pipute un TOUPA maitam omdan a bawluh, halmang thillatna ding leh kithoihna ding ahi kei hi; kou leh nou kikala theihna a hijaw hi, ka chihna ding ua, ka hih uh ahi.

²⁸Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.

²⁹TOUPA tunga hela TOUPA lehngatsana, TOUPA ka Pathian uh maitam, a biakbuk china maitam keleu lou halmang thillatna ding hiam, nekding thillatna ding hiam, kitheihna ding hiama maitam bawl ka hih louh dan uh, a chi ua.

²⁹God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

³⁰Huan, siampu Phinehas leh a kianga om mipi mi lian, Israel pawl nam intekpenten Reuben suante leh Gad suante leh Manassi suante thugen a jak un a kipak sak mahmah hi.

³⁰And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.

³¹Huan, siampu Eleazar tapa Phinehasin Reuben suante leh Gad suante leh manassi suante kiangah, TOUPA tunga thil na hih khelh louh jiakin un, tun jaw TOUPA i lak ua om ngeina ahi chih ka theita ve ua: huchiin Israel suante TOUPA khut akipanna honkheta uh ahi, a chi a.

³¹And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

³²Huchiin siampu Eleazar tapa phinehas leh mi lianpawl Reuben suante leh Gad suante kiang akipanin Gilead gam akipan Kanan gam lamah Isreal suante kiang lamah a pai nawn ta ua, thu a va tun nawn uh.

³²And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

³³Huan, huai thuten Isreal suante a kipak sak mahmaha; huan, Israel saunte Pathian a phatta uhi; huchiin Reuben suante leh Gad suante doua, a omna gam uh suksiatsak thute a gen nawn ta kei uhi.Huan, Reuben suante leh Gad suanten huai maitam pen Ed a chi uh: Toupa pathian a na hi ngei mai chih I kikal uah theihna ahi, a chi uh.

³³And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.

³⁴Huan, Reuben suante leh Gad suanten huai maitam pen Ed a chi uh: Toupa pathian a na hi ngei mai chih I kikal uah theihna ahi, a chi uh.

³⁴And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.
