Joshua 6
1 Israel kaminawk zit o pongah, Jeriko vangpui khongkha to kacakah khah o; mi doeh tasa bangah caeh o ai, vangpui thungah doeh akun o ai.
Now Jericho was straightly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2 To naah Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah, Khenah, Na ban ah Jeriko vangpui hoi nawnto siangpahrang doeh, thacak misatuh kaminawk doeh, na ban ah kang paek boeh.
And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.
3 Vangpui to takui oh, misatuh kaminawk boih hoiah, vangpui to vaito takui oh; to tiah vai tarukto takui oh.
And you shall compass the city, all you men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shall you do six days.
4 Qaima sarihto mah Angraeng ih thingkhong hmaa ah tuu takii hoi sak ih mongkah to sin o tih; toe ni sarihto naah, vangpui to vai sarihto takui oh; to naah qaimanawk mah mongkah to ueng o tih.
And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day you shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
5 Nihcae mah tuu takii hoi sak ih mongkah kasawkah ueng o moe, mongkah lok to na thaih o naah, kaminawk boih mah tha hoi hang oh; to pacoengah loe vangpui sipae to amtimh tih boeh; to naah kaminawk boih angmacae hmabang ah katoengah caehsak tahang ah, tiah a naa.
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
6 To pongah Nun capa Joshua mah qaimanawk to kawk moe, nihcae khaeah, Angraeng ih thingkhong to apu oh, qaima sarihto mah Angraeng ih thingkhong hmaa ah tuu takii hoi sak ih mongkah sarihto sin o nasoe, tiah a naa.
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.
7 Anih mah kaminawk khaeah, Hmabang ah caeh oh, vangpui to takui oh! Maiphaw maica sin kaminawk Angraeng ih thingkhong hmaa ah caeh oh, tiah naa.
And he said to the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
8 Joshua mah kaminawk khaeah lokthuih pacoengah, qaima sarihtonawk loe tuu takii hoi sak ih mongkah sarihto sin o, Angraeng ih thingkhong hmaa ah a caeh o moe, mongkah to ueng o; Angraeng ih thingkhong loe nihcae hnukah bang.
And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
9 Maiphaw sin kaminawk loe, mongkah ueng qaimanawk ih ahnuk ahmaa caeh o; qaimanawk loe mongkah ueng o moe, hmabangah caeh o poe.
And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
10 Joshua mah kaminawk khaeah, Kai mah hangh han kang thuih ih ni pha ai karoek to lok apae o hmah, hraw-ang o hmah; hangh han lok kang thuih o naah hang oh, tiah naa.
And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall you shout.
11 To pongah Angraeng ih thingkhong hoi vangpui to takui o; vaito takui o pacoengah, angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem o moe, to ah atai o.
So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Joshua loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk, qaimanawk mah Angraeng ih thingkhong to aput o.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
13 Tuu takii hoi sak ih mongkah sin qaima sarihtonawk loe, Angraeng ih thingkhong hmaa ah caeh o poe moe, mongkah to ueng o; maiphaw sin kaminawk loe Angraeng ih thingkhong hmaa ah caeh o; toe hnukah kaom misatuh kaminawk loe Angraeng ih thingkhong hnukah caeh o, qaimanawk loe mongkah ueng hoiah caeh o poe.
And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
14 Ni hnetto haih naah doeh vangpui to vaito takui o, to pacoengah atai o haih ahmuen ah amlaem o let; to tiah ni sarihto takui o.
And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
15 Ni sarihto naah loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, a sak o zong ih baktih toengah, vangpui to vai sarihto takui o; to na ni khue ah vangpui to vai sarihto takui o.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16 Vai sarihto takui o moe, qaimanawk mah mongkah ueng o naah, Joshua mah kaminawk khaeah, Hang oh! Angraeng mah vangpui to ang paek o boeh.
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for the LORD has given you the city.
17 Vangpui hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk boih to paro oh loe, lokkamhaih hoiah Angraeng khaeah paek oh; aicae mah patoeh ih misa khen kami hnik to hawk pongah, tangyat zaw kami Rahab hoi anih ih imthung takoh kaminawk khue to pathlung oh.
And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 Toe Sithaw mah la o hmah, tiah thuih ih tangoeng ah kaom hmuen to caeh o taak ah; to tih ai nahaeloe nangcae nuiah kasae pha moeng tih; Israel kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen ah kasae omsak kami hoi raihaih phasak kami ah om moeng tih.
And you, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest you make yourselves accursed, when you take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
19 Toe phoisa, sui, sum, sum kamlingnawk hoiah sak ih laom sabaenawk loe Angraeng hanah ciimcai o sak loe, Angraeng ih hmuenmae pakuemhaih thungah suem oh, tiah a naa.
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated to the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
20 Qaimanawk mah mongkah to ueng o naah, kaminawk to hangh o; kaminawk mah mongkah uenghaih lok thaih o moe, tha hoi hangh o naah, sipae to amtim rup; to naah kaminawk boih angmacae hmaa ah katoengah vangpui thungah akun o moe, vangpui to a lak o.
So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21 Vangpui thung kaom nongpa, nongpata, nawkta, mitong, maitaw, tuu, laa hrangnawk hoi vangpui thung kaom hmuennawk boih to sumsen hoiah paro pae o boih.
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 Joshua mah tamquta hoi prae khet han patoeh ih kami hnik khaeah, Tangyat zaw kami im ah caeh hoih loe, anih khaeah lokkamhaih na sak hoi baktih toengah, nongpata angmah hoi a imthung ah kaom kaminawk boih to angzo haih ah, tiah a naa.
But Joshua had said to the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out there the woman, and all that she has, as you swore to her.
23 To pongah prae khen thendoeng hnik loe caeh hoi moe, Rahab, amno hoi ampa, angmah ih nawkamyanawk hoi a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih angzoh hoi haih; angmah ih imthung takoh kaminawk lak boih pacoengah, Israel kaminawk ataihaih tasa bangah oh o sak.
And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
24 To pacoengah vangpui hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk to hmai hoiah a thlaek o boih; toe phoisa, sui, sum, sum kamlingnawk hoiah sak ih laom sabaenawk loe, Angraeng ih hmuenmae patunghaih im ah a suek o.
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
25 Toe Jeriko vangpui khet han patoeh ih kami hnik to a hawk pongah, Joshua mah tangyat zaw Rahab hoi ampa imthung takoh kaminawk boih ih hinghaih to pathlung pae; to nongpata loe vaihni ni khoek to Israel kaminawk khaeah oh.
And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwells in Israel even to this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 To naah Joshua mah, Hae Jeriko vangpui pathawk moe, sah let kami loe, Angraeng hmaa ah tangoenghaih tong nasoe; anih loe a calu dung ah vangpui ahmuen sak amtong nasoe loe, a capa asoi dung ah sipae khongkhanawk to thungh nasoe, tiah lokkamhaih to a sak.
And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that rises up and builds this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
27 Joshua khaeah Angraeng oh pongah, anih ih ahmin to prae boih ah amthang.
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
