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.

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.

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.

²And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.

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

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

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.

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

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

⁵I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.

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.

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.

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.

⁷And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

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.

⁸And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.

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

⁹Then 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:

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

¹⁰But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his 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.

¹¹And you went over 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.

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.

¹²And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

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.

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

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.

¹⁴Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

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.

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

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

¹⁶And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;

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:

¹⁷For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:

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.

¹⁸And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.

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.

¹⁹And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

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.

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

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

²¹And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD.

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.

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

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.

²³Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.

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

²⁴And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

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

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

²⁶Huchiin Josuain huai thu Pathian dan bu ah a gelha; huan, suang lianpi a laaTOUPA mun siangthou china tosaw nuaiah a phut 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 an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.

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.

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

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

²⁸So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.

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

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

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

³⁰And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.

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

³¹And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.

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.

³²And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

³³Huan, 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 a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
