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 over the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before the sons of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the sons 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, said Yahweh unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, —and again circumcise the sons of Israel, a 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.
So Joshua made him knives of flint, —and circumcised the sons of Israel, at the Hill of Foreskins.
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.
Now, this, is the cause why Joshua did circumcise, —all the people who came forth out of Egypt, who were males, all the men of war, died in the desert, by the way, after they came forth 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, though all the people who came forth had been circumcised, yet, all the people who were born in the desert by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt, 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.
Because, for forty years, did the sons of Israel journey in the desert, until all the nation who were men of war, who came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, —unto whom Yahweh sware that he would not let them see the land, which Yahweh sware unto their fathers, that he would give unto 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.
Their sons, therefore, whom he had raised up in their stead, them, did Joshua circumcise, —for, uncircumcised, they were, in that they had not circumcised them by the way.
8 Yahhmui rhet te namtom boeih loh a coeng uh van neh a saibawn due rhaehhmuen ah om uh.
And so it came to pass, when they had made an end of circumcising all the nation, they remained in their place, in the camp, until they were healed.
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.
Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, To-day, have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of that place is called Gilgal ["a rolling away"]unto 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.
Thus then the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal, —and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the waste plains of Jericho.
11 Yoom vuen ah khohmuen cangrhuem, vaidamding neh cang rhoh khaw tekah khohnin buelh ah a caak uh.
And they did eat of the corn of the land, on the morrow of the passover, unleavened cakes and parched ears of corn, —on this selfsame 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 corn of the land, neither had the sons of Israel manna any more, —so they did eat of the yield of the land of Canaan throughout 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, while Joshua was at Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes, and looked, and lo! a man standing over against him, with his sword drawn, in his hand, —so Joshua went unto him, and said to him, For us, art thou, or for our adversaries?
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—Nay, but, I, as prince of the host of Yahweh, have, now, come. So Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said unto him, What is my lord speaking 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.
Then said the prince of the host of Yahweh unto Joshua—Slip off thy sandals from thy feet, for, as for the place whereon thou art standing, holy, it is. And Joshua did so.
