Joshua 6
1 Jerikho ngawn Israel ca rhoek loha tlaeng la a tlaeng aka voei aka bal khaw om voel pawh.
Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
2 Te vaengah Joshua te BOEIPA loh, “So lah, Jerikho neh a manghai kah tatthai hlangrhalh te na kut ah kan tloeng coeng.
The LORD said to Joshua, "Look, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
3 Te dongah caemtloek hlang boeih loh khopuei ke hil uh lamtah khopuei te voei khat vael uh. Te tlam te hnin rhuk khuiah saii.
All your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
4 Te vaengah khosoih parhih loh jubilee tuki parhih te thingkawng hmai ah khawt uh saeh. Tedaea hnin rhih dongkah khopuei voei rhih vael uh vaengah tuki te khosoih rhoek loh ueng uh saeh.
Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
5 Jubilee kia ueng vetih tuki ol na yaak na yaak uh vaengah pilnam boeih te tamlung neh bungbung yuhui uh saeh. Te vaengah khopuei vongtung te cungku vetih pilnam te tluektluek cet uh bitni,” a ti nah.
It shall be 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 go up every man straight before him."
6 Te dongah Nun capa Joshua loh khosoih rhoek tea khue tih, “Paipi thingkawng te kawt uh lamtah khosoih parhih loh jubilee tuki parhih te BOEIPA kah thingkawng hmai ah kawt uh phai saeh,” a ti nah.
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 Te phoeiah pilnam te, “Lan uh lamtah khopuei ke hil uh. Aka pumcum tangtae loh BOEIPA thingkawng hmai ah cet saeh,” a ti nah tiha uen.
And he said to the people, "Advance. March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD's ark."
8 Joshua loh pilnam tea uen phoei van atah jubilee tuki parhih aka kawt khosoih loh BOEIPA hmai la khong uh tih tuki tea ueng uh. Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng hnuk te a vai uh.
It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
9 Aka pumcum tangtae ngawn tah lamhma la khong uh. Tuki aka ueng khosoih rhoek khaw thingkawng hnukah vai hamla rhutrhut cet uh tih tuki tea ueng uh.
The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
10 Tedae pilnam te Joshua loh a uen tih, “Yuhui uh boeh, na ol yaak sak uh boeh. Nangmih taengah ka thui tue a pha hlan khuiah na ka dong lamloh olka puut boel saeh. Yuhui ka ti daengah ni na yuhui uh eh.
Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout."
11 Te dongah BOEIPA kah thingkawng te a hil puei tih khopuei te voei khata vael phoeiah rhaehhmuena paan uh tih rhaehhmuen ah rhaeh uh,” a ti nah.
So he caused the ark of the LORD to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Joshua te mincang ah thoo bal tih BOEIPA kah thingkawng khosoih rhoek te a khuen.
Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
13 Te vaengah jubilee tuki parhih aka kawt khosoih parhih te BOEIPA kah thingkawng hmai ah cet cet uh tih, tuki tea ueng uh. Amih hmai kah aka cet tih aka pumcum tangtae tah BOEIPA thingkawng hnukah caeh hamla tingtun uh tih a caeh caeh doela tuki tea ueng uh.
The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the ark of the LORD. The trumpets sounded as they went.
14 A pabae khohnin ah khaw khopuei te voei khata hil uh bal tih rhaehhmuen la bal uh. Te tlam te hnin rhuka saii uh.
The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
15 A hnin rhih dongkah mincanga pha vaengah thoo uh tih khopuei te voei rhiha tiktamnah hila hil uh. Tekah khohnin dongah ni khopuei te voei rhih dawka hil uh.
It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.
16 A voei rhih dongah tah khosoih rhoek loh tuki tea ueng uh. Te vaengah pilnam te Joshua loh, “Khopuei he BOEIPA loh nangmih m'paek coeng dongah yuhui uh.
It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city.
17 Te vaengah khopuei neh a khuikah aka om boeih te BOEIPA taengah yaehtaboeih la boeih om. Tedae pumyoi Rakhab longtah puencawn rhoi tea thuh tih a tueih dongah amah neh a im kah boeih tah hing uh saeh.
The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 Tedae yaehtaboeih te tah nangmih loh ngaithuen uh. Yaehtaboeih te loh ham na yakvawt uh koinih Israel kah rhaehhmuen te yaehtaboeih la na khueh uh vetih na lawn uh ve.
But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, so as not to covet and take of the devoted thing and make the camp of Israel accursed, and bring trouble on it.
19 Cak neh sui khaw, rhohum hnopai neh thicung boeih tah BOEIPA kah hnocim la BOEIPA kah thakvoh khui ah kun sak saeh,” a ti nah.
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD's treasury."
20 Te dongah pilnam loh a yuhui vaengah tuki tea ueng uh. Tuki ol te pilnam loh a yaak vaengah pilnam loh tamlung neh bukbuk yuhui uh. Te vaengah vongtung te a dang lamkah loh cungku. Te dongah pilnam loh khopuei khuila tluek tluek boeih kun uh tih khopuei tea buem uh.
So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. It happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and 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 Te vaengah khopuei khuikah huta, tongpa, camoe, patong khaw, vaito, tu neh laak khaw cunghang ha neh boeiha thup uh.
They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22 Te vaengah khohmuen aka hip hlang panit taengah Joshua loh, “Pumyoi nu im la kun rhoi lamtah anih taengkah na caeng rhoi vanbangla tekah huta neh anih taengkah aka om boeih te pahoi hang khuen rhoi,” a ti nah.
And Joshua said to the two young men who had spied out the land, "Go into the prostitute's house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."
23 Te dongah cadong longyam rhoi te cet rhoi tih Rakhab neh a manu a napa khaw, a nganpa rhoek neh anih taengah aka om boeih khaw a huiko rhoek boeih khaw a khuen rhoi tih Israel rhaehhmuen tollong aha khueh rhoi.
The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
24 Khopuei neh a khuikah aka om boeih te hmai neha hoeh uh. Tedae cak neh sui khaw, rhohum hno neh thicung khaw BOEIPA im kah thakvoh dongah a khueh uh.
They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD's house.
25 Tedae pumyoi Rakhab neh a napa cako neh anih taengkah aka om boeih tah Jerikho hip ham Joshua kah a tueih puencawn rhoi tea thuh dongah Joshua loh a hlun tih tihnin due Israel lakli ah kho a sak.
But Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Te vaeng tue ah Joshua loh a toemngam tih, “U khaw thoo tih Jerikho khopuei aka thoh hlang tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thaephoei thil la om ni. A caming neha toong rhoi vetih a canoi nen ni thohkhaih khaw a thoh pueng eh,” a ti.
Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, "Cursed be the man before the LORD, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."
27 BOEIPA loh Joshua taengaha om van dongah kho takuem ah a mingthangnah khaw om.
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
