< Joshua 5 >

1 Jordan lhumlamma cheng Amor mite lengho leh Mediterranean panga cheng Canaan mite lenghon Israel mipitehi a Pathennun Jordan vadung asuhkhangpeh’in ahin palgalkai sahtai ti ajahdoh phatnun kichatnan alungthimmu alhulhop gamtauvin ahi.
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 how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
2 Hiche pettah chu Pakaiyin Joshua kommah “Songhem chu chemcha bangin semminlang Israelte chu akhangni channin achep’u tanpeh’in,” ati.
At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
3 Hitichun Joshua’n jong songhem chemchan asemmin Israelte chu Gibeath-haaraoth munnah achep’u anatanpeh’in ahi.
Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 Joshua’n amaho chu achepmu atanpeh louva khoh-a ahi, ajeh chu Egypt ahin dalhah uva galsatthei pasalho jouse chu gamthip gamma anathigam ah ahitauve.
This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Egypt hindalha a pasalho jouse chu achepmu anakitan sohkeija ahiuvin, Ahinlah Egypt ma konna ahungpotdoh uva gamthip noija ahung kholjinnao kumsunga pengho chu achepmu kitan loulai ngen ahiuve.
For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
6 Israelten Egypt ahin dalhah uva galsatthei jouse athigam kahseuva kum somli sunghi gamthip noija hung kholjinna ahiuve. Ajeh chu amahon Pakai thupeh anitlou jeh’un Pakaiyin khoiju le bongnoi lonna gam pehdinga ateppehnao gamchu alutsahlouna dinga ana kihahsella ahi.
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Hijeh chun Joshua’n apateu mun lothei dinga hung kikhanlhit hochu achepmu atanpeh’u ahi. Ajeh chu amahohin gamtepgam ahinjotnauva hi achepmu ana kitan khaloulai ngen ahiuve.
Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
8 Pasal jouse achepmu akitan jehchun amaho adamdoh kahsen ngahmunna chun ana kicholdou taovin ahi.
When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
9 Hichun Pakaiyin Joshua komma chun “Tunia hi Egypt gamma nasohchan nauva najumnao chu katolmangpeh’u ahitai,” ati. Hijeh a chu hiche mun chu tunichangeija Gilgal kitia ahitai.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.
10 Israelten Gilgal munna ngahmun asemsungu lhamasa nisomle nili chan nilhahchun Jericho phaichamma kalchuh kut anamangun ahi.
The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
11 Hichejou ajing nikhotah chun agamsungsoh agamga cholsolou changlhah a kisemleh anchang kikang chu anapantauvin ahi.
They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
12 Amahon agamsungsoh agamga aneh masat niuvapat chun Manna akimutapon, mujong akimukit mongmong tapon ahi.
The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 Joshua chu Jericho khopi kom agalhun chun akhodah in chunglang agahvetleh akhutna chemjam kichoi mikhat amasanga adinchu amun ahi. Joshua chun ajonlutnin amapa chu ana dongin, “Nanghi eipanpi ding kagol nahim ahilouleh galmi nahim? ati.
When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”
14 Amachun ahindonbutnin “Khatchachu kahipoi, keima Pakai sepaite lamkaija pang tuahi hungkon kahitai,” ati. Hichun Joshua chu tolla abohkhupmin achibeijin, “Ka Pakaiyin nalhacha keima hi ipi neibolsah got ham?” ati.
He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of the LORD’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
15 Pakai sepaite lamkai pachun adonbutnin, “Nakengkoh chu sutlhan ajeh chu nadinna chu muntheng ahi,” ati. Hichun Joshua’n aseibang chun aboltai.
The prince of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
