Joshua 8
1 Hichejou chun Pakaiyin Joshua kommah chun aseije, “Kicha hih’in, lungthoina jong neihih’in, nasepai hochu puijinlangAi khopi khu gadelkhumtan, ajeh chu Ai lengpa le amipite, akhopi le agamchu nangma khutna kapehdoh ahitai.
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.
2 Jericho le alengpao nasuhgam banga amaho jong nasuhgam ding, amavang tuchunga hi agancha houleh anei agou nachomdoh houchu nakilah theiju ahi. Akhopiu nunglanga khun gachangpang tauvin,” ati.
And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.
3 Hitichun Joshua leh asepaite chu Ai khopi gadelkhum dingin akontouvun ahi. Joshua’n asepaite lah’a galsat hatcheh sangsom thum alhengdoh’in jannin asoldoh’in,
And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,
4 Hitihin thupeh aneiyin ahi: “Nangho cheuvinlang khopi nunglanga khun kinaichan gachangpang’unlang khopi delkhum dingkhun kigosademmin ummun,
And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
5 Hiteng chuleh keile kaloiho chengin khopi chu kadellutdiu chutengleh amasa-abang bangchun amaho keiho satdin hungkondoh’un tin chutengleh amaho masanga chu keiho kajamdiu ahi.
But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
6 Khopia konna chu keihon amaho chu kakidelmang sahdiu, chutengleh amahon Israelte hi amasa bang banga imasang’uva jamkitna ahitauve atidiu ahi. Chujouteng chuleh keiho amahoa konna kajam sunguva chu,
Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
7 Nangho nachangpan nauva konchun hungpotdoh’unlang akhopiu chu nalonvuh jengdiu ahi, na Pakai na Pathennun nangho khutna nahin pehdohdiu ahi.
And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
8 Chutengleh Pakaiyin nathupeh bang bangun akhopiu chu meiyin hallha jengun hichu thupeh ahi,” ati.
And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
9 Hitichun amaho akipatdoh’un Bethel leh Ai khopi lhumlam kikah achangpanna diu munnah chun ache tauvin ahi. Ahinlah Joshua chu hichejou chun mipiho toh ngahmunna chun agehkhommun ahi.
And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,
10 Joshua chu jingkah langin matah’in akipatnin amite asuthouvin Ai khopi lang ajontan, hichea hin Israel upa hon ana juijun ahi.
And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
11 Joshua chu amatoh umkhom sepaiho chengchutoh khopi maija chun akijotnun sahlanga chun ngahmun asemmun ahi. Amaholeh Ai kikah’a chun phaicham khat aummin ahi.
And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
12 Chuin aman mi sang nga tobang apuijin Bethel leh Ai khopi kikah khopi lhumlamma chun achangpansah’in ahi.
And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:
13 Hitichun asepai bulpi penchu khopi sahlanga apansah’in chuleh khopi lhumlamma chun changpangloi akoiyin, Joshua amatah chu phaichamma chun ageh’in ahi.
But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.
14 Ai lengpan phaicham langa um Israelte chu agahmu phatnin amale asepaite jouse chun jingpitah’in Jordan phaicham gah kigalmuna munna chun anokhum tauvin ahi. Ahinla khopi nunglanga chun amaho aguh’a chaangpanga aumme tichu aman ahetlou ahi.
And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
15 Joshua leh Israel sepaite chu gallel tobang'in gammang langa chun ajamtauvin ahi.
But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
16 Hichechun khopi sunga umjouse chu akikoudoh’un abonchauvin amaho chu adeltauvin, hitichun amaho chu khopia konchun alhemdoh tauvin ahi.
But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
17 Ai ahilouleh Bethella chun mi khatcha kidalha louvin Israelte chu adelsohkei tauvin ahi. Hitichun khopi ahomkeuvin adalha tauvin ahi.
And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
18 Hiche jouchun Pakaiyin Joshua komma chun hitin ahin seije, “Natengchao chu domsang’unlang Ai khopi lang ngatsah tauvin, ajeh chu keiman hichekhu nangho khutna kapehdoh ahitai” ati. Hichun Joshua’n akhutna um atengcha chu adomsang’in khopi langchu agah ngatsahtan ahi.
The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
19 Joshua’n akhut adopsang phatnin changpang ho jouse chu akiselnauva kon in ahung potdoh’un khopi langa chun alonglut jeng tauvin ahi. Amahon gangtah’in khopi chu alouvin meiyin ahallha tauvin ahi.
And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.
20 Ai khomite chu akinung heijun agah veuvin ahileh, khopia konna meikhu chu vanlaijol langa akitung jengin ahileh chenading helouvin abeiden tauvin ahi. Ajeh chu Israelte gammang langa ana jamlut hochu ahung kileheijun amaho chu ahinledal tauvin ahi.
And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
21 Joshua leh Israelte chun apanlah nauchu alolhing’in khopia konchun meikhu akitungdoh tai tichu amuphatnun ahung kileheijun Ai mite chu ahin delkhum tauvin ahi.
So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
22 Alangkhatnah khopi sunga um Israelte chu ahungpotdoh’un galmi hochu anunglang uva kon in ahin delkhum uvin, hitichun Ai khopi mite chu ajet aveijuva Israelten aumchinto tauvin amaho alailunga chatmo hellin aumtauve. Israelten adelkhummun mi khat ajong asohcha ahilouleh ahingdoh’a aumpouve.
And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
23 Ai lengpa changseh chu ahingin amannun Joshua kommah ahin puilutnun ahi.
And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
24 Israel sepaiten Ai mite chu adel’uva tollhanga umjouse chu athajou phatnun amaho akinung heijun asunga langa umjouse jongchu athatchai heltauvin ahi.
So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
25 Hitichun Ai khopi sunga cheng mipite jouse, numeiti pasalti abonchan hiche nikho chun athatgam soh hellun ahileh mi sangsom le sangni alhingin ahi.
And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
26 Ai khopi sunga cheng jouse chu akisuhmanghel kahsen Joshua’n atengcha chu adomsang jing jengin ahi.
But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
27 Pakaiyin Joshua athupeh bangin, khopi sunga um agancha houleh anei agouhou chu sumang louvin Israelten amaho chandingin akichom tauve.
And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
28 Hitichun Joshua’n Ai khopi chu ahallhatan ahileh hichu tuni changgeijin amangthah paitan ahi.
And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
29 Joshua’n Ai lengpa chu nilhahlang geijin thingchungah anakhaijin, ni ahunglhum phatnin Joshua thupeh dungjuijin atahsa chu thingchunga kon in alalhauvin, khopi kelkot maija chun anaseplhauvin ahi. Amahon achunga chun song asetkhummun tuni changgeijin mutheijin aumnalaije.
And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
30 Hijouchun Joshua’n Ebal mol chungah Pakai Israel Pathen kommah maicham asemmin,
Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
31 Pakai lhacha Mose’in Israel chate anathupeh Mose daanbua anakijih bangin, thih hemma ana kikheng khalou songtum maicham chungah pumgo thilto leh chamna thilto anabollin ahi.
As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.
32 Hitichun aman Israelte mitmu changtah chun Mose daan thupeh hochu song chunga chun anajihdoh’in ahi.
And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
33 Hiche jouchun Israelte jouse agam sunga pengdenho ahin khopem mi ahiuvin, upa ho jouse, vaihom ho jouse le thutanho jouse ahiuvin hopnin akihommun, hopkhat chu Gerazin mol maija adingun, hopkhat chu Ebal mol maija adingun ahi. Ahopni chun aki-angngat touvin akikah uvah Pakai kitepna thingkongpu Levi thempuho chu adingun ahi. Hichehi Israel mipiten phatthei achanna diuva Pakailhacha Mose thupeh dungjuija anaboljiu dungjuija chu abollu ahi.
And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.
34 Hiche jouchun Mose’n adaan lekhabua anajihlut phatthei bohna le sapsetna hochu Joshua’n mipi ang’ah chun asimdoh’in ahi.
After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.
35 Mose thupeh thuchengho jouse chu Israel mipi ahung kikhomho leh, nunao chapangho, chuleh alah’uva cheng gamdangmi ho pumma ajahsohkei diuvin asimdoh soh hellin ahi.
He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.
