¹It happened after many days, when Yahweh had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,

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 to them, “I am old and well advanced in years.

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;

³You have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is Yahweh your God who has 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 allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.

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.

⁵Yahweh your God will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight. You shall possess their land, as Yahweh your God spoke to 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.

⁶“Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn aside from it 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 you not come among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves to 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 hold fast to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day.

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

⁹“For Yahweh has driven great and strong nations out from before you. But as for you, no man has stood before you to 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 shall chase a thousand; for it is Yahweh your God who fights for you, as he spoke to 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 good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yahweh your God.

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

¹²“But if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to 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 Yahweh your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which Yahweh your God has 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.

¹⁴“Behold, today I am going the way of all the earth. You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yahweh your God spoke concerning you. All have happened to you. Not one thing has failed of it.

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.

¹⁵It shall happen that as all the good things have come on you of which Yahweh your God spoke to you, so Yahweh will bring on you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land which Yahweh your God has 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 you disobey the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them. Then the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to 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.
