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.
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 Hahoi Cathut ni Joshua a kaw teh, lungtaw ramanaw sak nateh, Isarel miphunnaw vuensom bout na a pouk han atipouh.
At that time, said Yahweh unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, —and again 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.
So Joshua made him knives of flint, —and circumcised the sons of Israel, at the Hill of 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Taminaw pueng vuensom a a hnukkhu hoi, a hmâ hawihoeh roukrak rim dawk ao awh.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 BAWIPA e ransabawi ni na khokkhawm hah rading, nang ni na coungroe e hmuen teh kathounge doeh atipouh e patetlah Joshua ni a sak.
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.
