Joshua 6
1 Tun Jericho mipite chun Israelte chu akichat jeh’un akhopiu kelkot chu akam chahkheh jengun ahi. Mi koimacha avadohsah pouvin lutjong alutsah pouvin ahi.
Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel, —none came out and none went in.
2 Ahinlah Pakaiyin Joshua kommah, “Hiche khopi leh alengpau chuleh asepaiteu jouse jong nakhutna kapehdoh ahitai.
Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, See, I have delivered, into thy hand, Jericho and her king, —the mighty men of valour.
3 Nangleh nasepai chengsetoh nigup sunga hi nisehleh khopihi khatvei naveldiu ahi.
So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once, —thus, shall thou do six days.
4 Thingkong masanga hi thempu sagi in kelchalki khatcheh akichoijuva kijotdiu ahi. Ni sagi channileh nanghon hiche khopihi sagivei naveldiu ahi.
And, seven priests, shall bear the seven rams’ horns before the ark, and, on the seventh day, shall ye compass the city seven times, —and, the priests, shall blow with the horns.
5 Thempuhon kelchalki ho chu ahinmut mutnuleh mipiten na-o neichasun sunnuva sangtah'a nasapdiu ahi. Hiteng chuleh khopi kulpi chu chimlhading, hiteng chuleh mipiho chu khopi sunga chu nalhailutnuva nadelkhum jengdiu ahi,” ati.
And it shall come to pass, when the ram’s horn soundeth, when ye hear the sound of the horn, that all the people shall shout with a great shout, —and then shall the wall of the city fall down under it, and the people shall go up, every man straight before him.
6 Hitichun Joshua in thempuho chu akoukhommin hiti hin aseipeh tai, “Pakai kitepna thingkong chu puuvinlang, thempu sagi chun kelchalki kichoi cheh’unlang mipi masanga khun kijotnun” ati.
Then called Joshua son of Nun unto the priests, and said unto them, Bear ye the ark of the covenant, —and let, seven priest, bear seven rams horns, before the ark of Yahweh.
7 Hijouchun aman mipiho chu thu apen, “Khopi vella chun kijotnun, galmanchah kichoi chengse chu Pakai thingkong masanga cheuhenlang mipichu lamkai juhen,” ati.
Then said he unto the people, Pass on and compass the city, —and let, the armed host, pass on before the ark of Yahweh.
8 Joshua’n mipiho komma thu anaseijouchun Thempu sagiho chun pengkul akichoi cheh’un Pakai masanga chun akijotnun pengkul ho chu amutnun ahi. Chuleh Pakai kitepna thingkong chu ajuijun ahi.
And it was so, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that, the seven priests who were bearing the seven rams’ horns before Yahweh, passed on and blew with the horns, —the ark of the covenant of Yahweh also coming after them.
9 Galmanchah kichoi phabep chu pengkul kichoi thempuho masanga akijotnun, loikhatchu thingkong nunglanga akijotnun, thempuho chun pengkul chu amutjom jingun ahi.
And, the armed host, went on before the priests who blew with the horns, —and, the rear-guard, came after the ark, going on and blowing with the horns.
10 Joshua’n thu ahinpen, “Koimachan kholhang samhih’un, paojong paopoh hih’un, keiman sammun kati tokah’in thu chengkhatcha jong nakammuva kon in gindohsah hih’un,” ati.
Now, unto the people, had Joshua given command, saying—Ye shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall there go out of your mouth, a word, —until the day when I say unto you Shout! then shall ye shout.
11 Hitichun Pakai thingkong chu apuuvin hiche nikho chun khatvei khopi chu avellun, chujouvin abonchauvin ngahmun chu ajonnun agageh’un ahi.
So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going round once, —and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Ajingin Joshua chu jingkah matah’in akipatdoh’in ahileh thempuho jongchun Pakai thingkong chu apukitnun ahi.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, —and the priests bare the ark of Yahweh;
13 Thempu sagi hochun pengkul chu akichoi cheh’un Pakai thingkong masanga chun akijotnun, pengkul chu amutnun ahi. Avellin, galmanchah kichoi hochu pengkul kichoi thempu ho masangleh Pakai thingkong puho nung’ah akijotnun ahi. Hiche sungse hin thempuho chun pengkul chu amut mutjingun ahi.
and, the seven priests who bare the seven rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh, went on and on, and blew with the horns, —with, the armed host going on before them, and, the rear-guard, coming after the ark of Yahweh, going on and blowing with the horns.
14 Anini channa’in jong amahon khopi chu avelkitnun chujouvin ngahmunna ahung kile kitnun ahi. Hitobang hin nigup sungse chun abollun ahi.
So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, —thus, did they, six days.
15 Ni sagi channa’in Israelte chu khovahlhah’in akipatdoh’un tumasanga abol bang bangun khopi chu avel kitnun ahi. Ahin tuchung ahin khopi chu sagivei avellun ahi.
And it came to pass, on the seventh day, that they rose early at the uprisings of the dawn, and compassed the city after this manner, seven times, —only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16 Sagivei aveljouvun thempuhon pengkul thongjen junnin ahin mutphat uchun Joshua’n mipiho chu thu ahinpen, “Kholhang sammun! Pakaiyin hiche khopi hi nepeh’u ahitai!
And it came to pass, at the seventh time—when the priests blew with the horns, then did Joshua say unto the people—Shout, for Yahweh hath delivered unto you the city.
17 Jericho khopi leh asunga umjouse hi Pakaiyin asuhmang sohkei ding ahitai: Rahab kijohnu leh ainsung mite jouse chu kihing hoiding ahi, ajeh chu amanun gamvelhi’a kibol hochu ana hoidoh sah’in ahi.
And it shall be, that, as for the city, devoted, shall it be and all that is therein unto Yahweh, —nevertheless, Rahab the harlot, shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.
18 Suhmang dinga um thilho chu khatcha suloh hihbeh’un, achutilouleh nangho jong nakisuhmang tha dingu ahi, chuleh Israel ngahmunna hi hamsetna nahin lhutkhumlo diu ahi.
But, in any wise, do, ye, beware of what is devoted, lest ye should covet, and then take of what is devoted, —and so cause the camp of Israel to be devoted, and bring trouble upon it.
19 Amavang dangka le sana, chule thih le sum-eng’a kisem thilho chu Pakaija atheng ahin hicheho chu Pakai sumkholna a lutding ahi,” tin thupeh ana neitai.
But, as for all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron, hallowed, it is to Yahweh, —unto the treasury of Yahweh, shall it come.
20 Mipiho chun pengkul kimutgin chu ajahphatnun a-ou neichasunnun asammun ahileh Jericho kulpi chu achimlha jengin ahi. Hiche phat chun Israelten khopi sungchu anokhummun alatauve.
So the people shouted, when the horns were blown, —yea it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down under it, and the people went up into the city every man straight before him, and so they captured the city.
21 Amahon khopi sunga umho jouse, numei pasal, ateh akhang, bong, kelngoi, kelcha chuleh sangan abonchan asumang sohkeijun ahi.
And they devoted all that were in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, —and ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 Hichun Joshua’n gamvelhia cheteni komma chun, nakitepna lhon dungjuijin akijohnu innachun lutlhonnin lang amanu le ainsung mite jouse chu gapuidoh lhonnin ati.
But, unto the two men who spied out the land, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, —and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath, as ye aware unto her.
23 Gamvelhia cheteni chu achelut lhonnin Rahab chu amatoh umkhom apale anu, asopiho le aisungmite jouse chutoh agapuidoh lhonnin ahi.
So the young men the spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brethren and all that she had, yea, all her kindred, brought they out, —and set them outside the camp of Israel.
24 Hijouchun, Israelten khopi chu asunga umjouse toh ahallhauvin asumanghel tauvin ahi. Ahin sumle sana, chule sum-eng le thih-a kisem thilho vang chu Pakai sumkholna munnah akoijun ahi.
But, the city, burned they with fire, and all that was therein, —save only, the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and of iron, put they into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
25 Hitichun Joshua’n Rahab kijohnu chu insunga aumkhopi ainsung mite jouse toh ahuhdoh’in ahi, ajeh chu aman Jericho velhi dinga asolteni chu anaseldoh’a ana hoidohsah lhon ahi.
And, Rahab the harlot and the household of her father and all that she had, did Joshua save alive, so she hath dwelt in the midst of Israel until this day, —because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Hichun, Joshua’n Jericho khopi chu anagaosap’in, “Koi hileh hiche Jericho khopi sapha go chanchu Pakai sapset changhen, tungdohgoa chu acha masapen’in loulo hen, akelkot tungdohgoa chu achapa lhumpen chaanlo hen,” ati.
And Joshua imposed an oath at that time, saying, —Cursed be the man before Yahweh who shall raise up and build this city—Jericho, At the price of his firstborn, shall he lay its foundation, and, at the price of his youngest, shall he set up its doors.
27 Hitichun Pakaiyin Joshua chu anaumpin hijeh chun gamsung pumpia chun amin ana kithanglheh jeng tan ahi.
And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua, —and his fame was in all the land.
