Joshua 5

1 Amih a kat khuiah BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah Jordan tui a haang sak te Jordan khotlak rhalvangan kah Amori manghai boeih neh tuitunli phaikah Kanaan manghai rhoek boeih loh a yaak uh vaengah a thinko paci uh tih Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a khuikah mueihla om voel pawh.

And it came to pass when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

2 Te tue ah Joshua te BOEIPA loh, “Namah loh lungpang cunghang saii lamtah Israel ca rhoek te yahhmui koekthoek rhet pah bal laeh,” a ti nah.

At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make thee stone-knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

3 Te dongah Joshua amah loh lungpang cunghang a saii tih Israel ca rhoek kah yahhmui te Haaraloth som ah a rhet pah.

And Joshua made him stone-knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of Araloth.

4 Joshua loh yahhmui a rhet pah kawng te he tlam he om. Egypt lamkah aka hlah uh pilnam boeih neh caemtloek hlang boeih, tongpa rhoek khaw Egypt lamkah ha nong uh tih longpueng kah khosoek ah duek uh coeng.

And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised [them]: all the people that had come out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

5 Pilnam aka pawk boeih te yahhmui rhet la om ngawn coeng dae Egypt lamkah ha hlah uh tih longpueng khosoek kah aka thaang pilnam boeih tah yahhmui rhet uh pawh.

For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt, [them] had they not circumcised.

6 BOEIPA ol te a yaak uh pawt dongah Egypt lamkah aka lo caemtloek hlang kah namtu boeih loh a mitmoeng duela Israel ca rhoek loh khosoek ah kum likip poengdoe uh. Te dongah Tekah khohmuen amih tueng voel pawt ham ni BOEIPA loh amih te a tap. Suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen te mamih taengah paek hamla a napa rhoek taengah BOEIPA loh a caeng dae.

For the children of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, till the whole nation of men of war had perished who had come out of Egypt, who had not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah; to whom Jehovah had sworn that he would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Amih yueng la aka poe a ca rhoek te tah longpueng ah yahhmui a rhet uh pawt dongah pumdul la aka om rhoek te Joshua loh yahhmui a rhet pah.

And their sons [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.

8 Yahhmui rhet te namtom boeih loh a coeng uh van neh a saibawn due rhaehhmuen ah om uh.

And it came to pass when the whole nation had finished being circumcised, that they abode in their place in the camp, till they were whole.

9 Joshua te khaw BOEIPA loh, “Egypt kah kokhahnah te nangmih pum dong lamloh tihnin ah ka palet coeng,” a ti nah. Te dongah tekah a hmuen ming khaw tihnin due Gilgal la a khue.

And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And the name of the place was called Gilgal to this day.

10 Israel ca rhoek loh Gilgal ah a rhaeh uh vaengkah hlasae hnin hlai li hlaem ah Yoom te Jerikho kolken ah a saii uh.

And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and held the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the plains of Jericho.

11 Yoom vuen ah khohmuen cangrhuem, vaidamding neh cang rhoh khaw tekah khohnin buelh ah a caak uh.

And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened loaves, and roasted [corn] on that same day.

12 Khohmuen cangrhuem a caak uh vuen ah manna khaw duem van coeng. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek ham manna om voel pawt dae tekah kum dongah tah Kanaan kah khohmuen cangthaih ni a caak uh coeng.

And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the old corn of the land; and there was no more manna for the children of Israel; and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan that year.

13 Jerikho kho ah Joshua loh a om vaengah a dan van dae a hmai ah hlang pakhat pai tih a kut neh cunghang a yueh te lawt a hmuh. Te dongah anih te Joshua loh a paan tih, “Nang he kaimih hui dae nim, kaimih kah rhal dae nim,” a ti nah.

And it came to pass when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there stood a man before him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him, and said to him: Art thou for us, or for our enemies?

14 Te vaengah, “Moenih kai he BOEIPA kah caempuei mangpa lam ni tahae ah ka pawk,” a ti nah. Te dongah Joshua loh a hmai longah diklai la bakop tih a bawk. Te phoeiah anih te, “Ka BOEIPA loh a sal ham he balae a thui?,” a ti nah.

And he said, No; for [as] captain of the army of Jehovah am I now come. Then Joshua fell upon his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

15 Te dongah BOEIPA kah caempuei mangpa loh Joshua te, “Na pai nah hmuen he a cim dongah na kho dong lamkah na khokhom te pit laeh,” a ti nah vanbangla Joshua long khaw a saii van.

And the captain of Jehovah's army said to Joshua, Loose thy sandal from off thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
