1 Te dongah Joshua khaw mincang ah thoo. Shittim lamloh hlah uh tih amah neh Israel ca rhoek boeih loh Jordan la puen uh. Tedae a kat uh hlanah pahoi rhaeh uh.
Then Ioshua rose very earely, and they remoued from Shittim, and came to Iorden, he, and all the children of Israel, and lodged there, before they went ouer.
2 Hnin thum a thok phoeiah tah, rhoiboei rhoek te rhaehhmuen khui longah pah uh.
And after three dayes the officers went throughout the hoste,
3 Te vaengah pilnam te a uen uh tih, “BOEIPA na Pathen kah paipi thingkawng neh te te aka kawt Levi khosoih rhoek te na hmuh uh vaengah na hmuen lamloh hlah uh lamtah a hnukah vai uh.
And commanded the people, saying, When ye see the Arke of the couenat of the Lord your God, and the Priestes of the Leuites bearing it, ye shall depart from your place, and goe after it.
4 Tedae anih neh nangmih laklo ah lakhla la om saeh. Te vaengah anih laklo kah a sen dong thawngkhat tluk tah anih taengla na yoei uh mahpawh. Te daengah ni hlaem hlavai na pongpa nah noek pawh longpuei te anih rhang neh na cet uh vetih longpuei na ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
Yet there shalbe a space betweene you and it, about two thousande cubites by measure: ye shall not come neere vnto it, that ye may knowe the way, by the which ye shall goe: for ye haue not gone this way in times past.
5 Te phoeiah pilnam te Joshua loh, “Thangvuen ah BOEIPA loh nangmih lakli ah khobaerhambae la a saii ham coeng dongah na mamih te ciim uh laeh,” a ti nah.
(Nowe Ioshua had saide vnto the people, Sanctifie your selues: for to morowe the Lord will doe wonders among you)
6 Khosoih rhoek te khaw Joshua loh a uen tih, “Paipi thingkawng he kawt uh lamtah pilnam mikhmuh ah kat uh laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah paipi thingkawng te a koh uh tih pilnam mikhmuh ah cet uh.
Also Ioshua spake vnto the Priestes, saying, Take vp the Arke of the couenant, and goe ouer before the people: so they tooke vp the Arke of the couenant, and went before the people.
7 Te vaengah Joshua te BOEIPA loh, “Tihnin ah Israel pum kah mikhmuh ah nang he pomsang ham ka tong vetih Moses taengah ka om bangla nang taengah ka om te ming uh saeh.
Then the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, This day will I begin to magnifie thee in the sight of all Israel, which shall knowe, that as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
8 Paipi thingkawng aka kawt khosoih rhoek te namah loh uen lamtah thui pah. Jordan tui kaeng te na pha uh vaengah Jordan ah pai uh dae,” a ti nah.
Thou shalt therefore command the Priests that beare the Arke of the Couenant, saying, When ye are come to the brinke of the waters of Iorden, ye shall stande still in Iorden.
9 Te dongah Joshua loh Israel ca rhoek te, “Hela thoeih uh lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen kah olka he ya uh lah,” a ti nah.
Then Ioshua said vnto the children of Israel, Come hither, and heare the wordes of the Lord your God.
10 Te phoeiah Joshua loh, “He nen ni na khui kah a hing Khohni te na ming uh eh. Te dongah Kanaani neh Khitti khaw, Khivee neh Perizzi khaw, Girgashi, Amori neh Jebusi khaw na mikhmuh lamloh a haek rhoe a haek bitni.
And Ioshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the liuing God is among you, and that he will certainely cast out before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hiuites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Iebusites.
11 Diklai pum kah Boeipa paipi thingkawng tah nangmih mikhmuh ah Jordan la kat coeng ke.
Beholde, the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of all the worlde passeth before you into Iorden.
12 Te dongah Israel koca lamloh hlang hlai nit te namamih ham tuek uh laeh. Koca pakhat lamloh hlang pakhat, hlang pakhat saeh.
Nowe therefore take from among you twelue men out of the tribes of Israel, out of euery tribe a man.
13 Te vaengah ana om bitni, diklai pum kah Boeipa Yahweh kah thingkawng aka kawt khosoih kho dongkah khopha loh Jordan tui, Jordan tui khuila a cawt a so lamkah aka long tui khaw pat vetih som pakhat bangla pai ni,” a ti nah.
And assoone as the soles of the feete of the Priestes (that beare the Arke of the Lord God the Lord of all the worlde) shall stay in the waters of Iorden, the waters of Iorden shall be cut off: for the waters that come from aboue, shall stande still vpon an heape.
14 Te dongah pilnam rhoek khaw Jordan kat hamla dap lamloh hlah uh tih khosoih rhoek loh pilnam kah mikhmuh ah paipi thingkawng te a koh uh.
Then when the people were departed from their tentes to goe ouer Iorden, the Priestes bearing the Arke of the Couenant, went before people.
15 Thingkawng aka kawt rhoek loh Jordan te a pha uh coeng. Te phoeiah thingkawng aka kawt khosoih kho te tui kaeng ah a nuem uh. Te dongah Jordan te cangah tue puet tuikaeng tom la li.
And as they that bare the Arke came vnto Iorden, and the feete of the Priestes that bare the Arke were dipped in the brinke of the water, (for Iorden vseth to fill all his bankes all the time of haruest)
16 Te vaengah a so lamkah aka long tui te pai tih som pakhat bangla aka pai te Zarethan kaep kah Adam khopuei due khawk li phai. Lungkaeh tuitunli la aka om Arabah tuili la aka long rhoek khaw boeih a phih uh dongah pilnam loh Jerikho imdan ah kat uh phai.
Then the waters that came downe from aboue, stayed and rose vpon an heape and departed farre from the citie of Adam, that was beside Zaretan: but the waters that came downe towarde the Sea of the wildernes, euen the salt Sea, failed, and were cut off: so the people went right ouer against Iericho.
17 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt khosoih rhoek tah Jordan laklung kah lanhak dongah khak pai uh tih Jordan aka kat ham namtu te boeih a soep uh duela Israel pum tah lanhak dong longah a lan uh.
But the Priestes that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, stoode drie within Iorden readie prepared, and all the Israelites went ouer dry, vntill all the people were gone cleane ouer through Iorden.
