< Joshua 1 >

1 Pakai lhacha Mose athiphatnin Nun chapa Mose lhacha a pang Joshua komma chun Pakaiyin thu ahin seijin,
Now after the death of His servant Moses, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying,
2 “Kalhacha Mose athitai, hijeh chun nangma kipatnin lang hiche Jordan hi galkaijin, nangle hiche mipiho hin Keiman Israel chate kapehna gam hi jonlut tauvin.
“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel.
3 Mose koma kanateppehna bang banga chu hoilai mun hijongleh nakengphang’un achotphana muntin chu nangho kapehding nahiuve.
I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.
4 Gamthip gam le Lebanon gamma vadunglen changgei, Eupharates vadung, Hit mite gampumpi chuleh nisa lhumna lang twikhanglen changgei nagam’u hiding ahi.
Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea.
5 Nahinkho lhumkeijuva namasang uva koimacha dingjoulou ding, Mose kana dinpi banga nangho jong kadinpi jingdiu, kadalhah louheldiu chuleh kanungsun louhel ding nahiuve.
No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
6 Hatninlang hangin, hiche mite hi pehdinga apu apateu kanateppeh gamchu agoulo diuva nahoppeh ding ahi.
Be strong and courageous, for you shall give these people the inheritance of the land that I swore to their fathers I would give them.
7 Hatninlang hangpou pouvin, Kalhacha Mose kanapeh danthu jouse nanit jouna dingin, hichea konhin jetlang hihen veiling hijongleh kiheimang hihbeh’in, chutileh nachena channa nakhantou theiding ahi.
Above all, be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper wherever you go.
8 Hiche danthubu hi, nakamma kon mangthah louhel ding, amavang asun ajanna nageljoh ding, akijih dungjuija hi nachon jingdiu ahi. Chitilebou nakhantou ding chuleh nalolhin teiding'u ahi.
This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.
9 Keiman thupeh kahinpeh louva nabol ham? Hatninlang hangin, kicha hihbeh’in, tijatna jong neihih in ajeh chu na Pakai na Pathennin nachena chan’uva nalhonpi jing dingu ahi,” ati.
Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
10 Chujouchun, Josuha’in mipi lamkaiho chu thu apen hitin aseije,
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people:
11 “Ponbuh sunga khun cheuvin lang mipiho khu anehdiu akigot toh dingun gaseipeh’un, ajeh chu nithum sunga hi Jordan luipi khu nagalkaijuva Pakai na Pathen in napeh’u gamkhu galotauvin.
“Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’”
12 Chuleh Reuben phungleh Gad phung chuleh Mannasseh phung akehkhat ho kommachun Joshua’n hitin aseije,
But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
13 Pakai lhacha Mose’n nakom uva aseichu sumil hih’un, Pakai na Pathennun nakicholdosah tauvin, chuleh hiche gamhi napeh’u ahitai.
“Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’
14 Najiteule nachateu, chuleh naganchateu chu Mose’n napehnao hiche Jordan solam gamkaiyah hin umsah’un, ahinlah nalah’uva gal-hat hole mihangsan chengse chun galmanchah akipat uva asopihou masanga hi gal lamkaija pangdiu,
Your wives, your young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and help them,
15 Pakaiyin nangho gam napeh banguva amaho jong alodiu gam apeh kahseuva nakithopidiu ahi. Chujouteng leh nahung kileuva Pakai lhacha Mose’n napehnao Jordan solam nagam uva nachendiu ahi.
until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”
16 Hitichun amahon Joshua chu adonbutnun, “Ipi hileh nangin neithupeh jouseu chu kaboldiu, chuleh neisol solnauva chu kache jengdiu ahi atiuve”.
So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.
17 “Keihon Mose thu kanangai bang banguva chu imalam jousea nangma thujong kangai diu ahi. Pakai na Pathen chun Mose ana umpi bang bangin nangjong naumpi jinghen,” atiuve.
Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.
18 “Koi hileh nangma thupeh jouse chu nitlouva aumma, nahindouva aumpoupou leh thadoh jengding ahi. Hatninlang hangpou pouvin”.
Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”
