Joshua 1
1 BOEIPA kah sal Moses a duek phoeiah Moses aka bong Joshua, Nun capa te BOEIPA loh a voek tih,
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
2 “Ka sal Moses duek coeng. Te dongah thoo lamtah namah neh pilnam pum loh Jordan he kat lamtah kai loh Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen la kun lah.
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, [even] to the children of Israel.
3 Moses taengah ka thui vanbangla na khopha loh a cawt hmuen boeih te nangmih kam paek bitni.
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 Khosoek lamkah Lebanon tuiva puei duela, Khitti khohmuen pum Perath tuiva khotlak tuili puei due pataeng nang khorhi la coeng ni.
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 Na hingnah a tue khui boeih na hmai ah hlang loh m'pai thil thai mahpawh. Moses taengkah ka om bangla nang taengah ka om van ni. Nang te kang rhael pawt vetih nang kan hnoo mahpawh.
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Amih taengah paek ham a napa rhoek taengah ka caeng tangtae khohmuen te pilnam nang loh na pang sak coeng dongah thaahuel lamtah namning sak.
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Ka sal Moses loh nang ng'uen olkhueng te boeih ngaithuen tih saii hamla thaahuel lamtah nam khak ning sak. Anih taeng lamloh banvoei bantang la taengphael boeh. Te daengah ni na caeh nah takuem ah lungming la na om uh eh.
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 Olkhueng cabu he na ka dong lamloh na hlong mahpawh. Khoyin khothaih na thuep daengah ni a khuikah a daek bangla boeih saii ham na ngaithuen eh. Te vaengah na longpuei thaihtak vetih lungming la na om uh ni.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Nang kang uen moenih a? Thaahuel lamtah namning sak. Na caeh nah takuem ah BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengla a om coeng dongah na sarhing sak boeh, rhihyawp boeh,” a ti nah.
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 Te dongah pilnam kah rhoiboei rhoek te Joshua loh a uen tih,
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 “Rhaehhmuen khui la cet uh laeh. Pilnam te uen uh lamtah thui pah. Na lampu ham te sikim uh laeh. Hnin thum dongah ngawn tah Jordan te m'poeng uh pawn ni. BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang pang sak ham m'paek khohmuen te pang hamla paan uh laeh,” a ti nah.
Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
12 Tedae Reuben koca, Gad koca neh Masnasseh koca hlangvang te Joshua loh a voek tih,
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
13 “BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh nangmih taengah n'uen olka te poek lah. Nangmih duem sak ham te BOEIPA na Pathen loh a thui tih khohmuen he nangmih taengah m'paek coeng.
Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
14 Huta camoe neh na boiva tah Moses loh nangmih taengah m'paek Jordan rhalvangan kah khohmuen ah om uh mai saeh. Tedae nangmih tatthai hlangrhalh boeih long tah na manuca rhoek kah a hmai ah caem la cet uh lamtah na manuca rhoek te BOEIPA loh nangmih bangla a duem sak due amih te bom uh.
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15 BOEIPA na Pathen loh amih a paek khohmuen te amih long khaw pang uh van saeh. Te phoeiah namih kah rho khohmuen la bal uh lamtah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh khocuk Jordan rhalvangan ah nangmih m'paek te huul uh van,” a ti nah.
Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’s servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
16 Te dongah Joshua te a doo uh tih, “Kaimih nang uen boeih te ka saii uh vetih kaimih nan tueih nah boeih la ka cet uh ni.
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 Moses ol te boeih ka ngai uh bangla nang ol te ka ngai uh van ni. Moses taengkah a om bangla BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang taengah om van saeh.
According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Nang kah olthui aka koek tih nang kah olka nan uen te pakhat kangna khaw aka hnatun pawt hlang boeih tah duek pai saeh. Tedae thaahuel lamtah namning sak,” a ti nahuh.
Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
