Joshua 5

1 BAWIPA ni Isarel miphunnaw raka sak hanelah, Jordan palang a hak sak tie hah, Jordan palang kanîloumlah kaawm e Amor siangpahrang abuemlah, tuipui teng kaawm e Kanaan siangpahrang abuemlah ni a thai awh torei teh, a taranhawinae awm awh hoeh. Isarel miphunnaw kecu dawk a lung koung apout awh.

Therefore, after all the kings of the Amorites, who were living across the Jordan toward the western region, and all the kings of Canaan, who possessed the places beside the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel, until they crossed over it, their heart was broken, and there remained in them no spirit, out of fear at the entrance of the sons of Israel.

2 Hahoi Cathut ni Joshua a kaw teh, lungtaw ramanaw sak nateh, Isarel miphunnaw vuensom bout na a pouk han atipouh.

So at that time, the Lord said to Joshua: “Make for yourself knives of stone, and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.”

3 Hatdawkvah, Joshua ni lungtaw ramanaw a sak teh, Gilgal e hmuen koe Isarel miphunnaw e vuensom a a pouh.

He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

4 Hottelah vuensom a a pouh ngainae teh Izip ram hoi ka tâcawt e ransa tongpa pueng kahrawngum koung a due awh dawk doeh.

Now this is the reason for the second circumcision: All the people who departed from Egypt of the male gender, all the men fit for war, died in the desert during the very long wandering way;

5 Hote ram dawk hoi ka tâcawt e pueng teh vuensoma e lah ao awh toe. Kahrawngum a cei awh nah ka khe e pueng teh vuensoma e lah awm hoeh rah.

all these had been circumcised. But the people who were born in the desert,

6 Izip ram hoi ka tâcawt e taran ka tuk thai e pueng teh Cathut e lawk a ngâi hoeh dawkvah be a due totouh Isarel miphunnaw kum 40 touh thung kahrawngum a kâhei awh. Cathut ni, na poe han ti teh na mintoenaw koe ka kam pouh e ram, sanutui hoi khoitui ka lawng e ram hah, hotnaw ni hmawt awh mahoeh ti teh thoe a bo.

throughout the forty years of the journey in the very broad wilderness, were uncircumcised, until the ones who had not listened to the voice of the Lord were consumed. For he had sworn to them before, that he would not reveal to them the land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Ahnimae yueng lah a canaw ni lam vah, vuensom a a awh e a hmu hoeh rah dawkvah, Joshua ni vuensom bout a a pouh.

The sons of these ones succeeded to the place of their fathers, and they were circumcised by Joshua. For they were uncircumcised, just as they had been born, and no one had circumcised them along the way.

8 Taminaw pueng vuensom a a hnukkhu hoi, a hmâ hawihoeh roukrak rim dawk ao awh.

Then, after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp until they were healed.

9 Cathut ni Izip ram e dudamnae nangmouh koehoi sahnin kai ni koung ka takhoe toe, telah Joshua koe atipouh. Hatdawkvah, hote hmuen teh sahnin totouh Gilgal telah ati awh.

And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have taken away from you the disgrace of Egypt.” And the name of that place was called Gilgal, even to the present day.

10 Isarel miphunnaw teh Gilgal hmuen koevah rim a sak awh teh, hote thapa hnin hrahlaipali hnin tangmin Jeriko tanghling dawkvah ceitakhai pawi a sak awh.

And the sons of Israel stayed at Gilgal, and they kept the Passover, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the plains of Jericho.

11 Ceitakhai pawi a sak awh hnukkhu, a tangtho hnin vah Kanaan kho e cakang hoi a sak awh e tawn thum hoeh e vaiyeinaw hoi capanaw hnin touh thung a ca awh.

And on the following day, they ate unleavened bread from the grain of the land, and cooked grain, of the same year.

12 Kanaan kho hoi ka tâcawt e a ca awh teh, a tangtho hoi teh mana teh apout toe. Hatnae kum dawk hoi Kanaan ram hoi ka tâcawt e a paw hah a ca awh.

And the manna ceased after they ate from the grain of the land. And the sons of Israel no longer made use of that food. Instead, they ate from the grain of the present year, from the land of Canaan.

13 Joshua ni Jeriko kho teng aonae koehoi a khet nah tami buet touh ni tahloi a tabu dawk hoi a rasa teh, ka kangdout e a hmu navah, ahni koe lah a cei teh, nang hah kaimouh koe lah kampang e maw, kaimae taran lah kaawm e maw telah a pacei.

And when Joshua was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and he saw a man standing opposite him, holding a drawn sword. And he went to him and said, “Are you one of ours, or one of our adversaries?”

14 Hatnavah, ahni ni telah nahoeh, BAWIPA Cathut e ransahu ka hrawi e lah kai teh atu nang koe ka tho e doeh atipouh. Joshua ni talai dawk a tabo teh, a bawk. BAWIPA, na san koe bangmaw na dei han telah a pacei.

And he responded: “Not at all. Instead, I am a prince of the host of the Lord, and now I have arrived.” Joshua fell prone on the ground. And reverencing, he said, “What does my lord say to his servant?”

15 BAWIPA e ransabawi ni na khokkhawm hah rading, nang ni na coungroe e hmuen teh kathounge doeh atipouh e patetlah Joshua ni a sak.

He said: “Remove your shoes from your feet. For the place on which you stand is holy.” And Joshua did just as he had been commanded.
