Joshua 6
1 Isarel miphunnaw kecu dawk Jeriko khopui teh khik a kâkhan awh teh, ka tâcawt e, ka kâen e, buet touh hai awm hoeh.
Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Hat toteh, BAWIPA Cathut ni khenhaw! Jeriko khopui, Jeriko siangpahrang hoi athakaawme ransa pueng teh nange kut dawk na poe toe.
And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, along with its king and its mighty men of valor.
3 Hatdawkvah khopui teh, na lawngven awh han Isarel ransanaw abuemlah ni hnin taruk touh thung na lawngven awh han.
March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.
4 Vaihma sari touh ni thingkong hmalah Jubili mongka sari touh a sin awh han. Hnin sari hnin nah vai sari touh khopui lawngven vaiteh, vaihmanaw ni mongka teh a ueng awh han.
Have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark. Then on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the horns.
5 Jubili mongka a rui kasawlah a ueng awh vaiteh, mongka lawk na thai awh torei tami pueng ni kacaipounglah a hram awh han. Khopui e rapan teh abuemlah koung a tip han. Hahoi taminaw ni kalancalah na kamyun awh han telah Joshua koe atipouh.
And when there is a long blast of the ram’s horn and you hear its sound, have all the people give a mighty shout. Then the wall of the city will collapse and all your people will charge straight into the city.”
6 Nun e capa Joshua ni vaihmanaw a kaw teh, nangmouh ni lawkkam thingkong hah na kâkayawt awh vaiteh, BAWIPA e thingkong hmalah vaihma sari touh ni Jubili mongka sari touh e hah na sin awh han.
So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said, “Take up the ark of the covenant and have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark of the LORD.”
7 Taminaw koehoi, nangmouh ni na cei awh vaiteh, khopui hah lawngven awh. Senehmaica kapatuemnaw ni BAWIPA e thingkong hmalah cet awh telah atipouh.
And he told the people, “Advance and march around the city, with the armed troops going ahead of the ark of the LORD.”
8 Joshua ni taminaw koe lawk a thui hnukkhu, Jubili mongka sari touh ka sin e vaihma sari touh ni BAWIPA e hmalah mongka ueng na laihoi a cei awh. BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong teh, ahnimae hnukkhu lah a kâbang awh.
After Joshua had spoken to the people, seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
9 Mongka ka ueng e vaihmanaw hmalah, Senehmaica kapatuemnaw ni a cei awh teh, vaihmanaw ni mongka ueng na laihoi a cei awh navah, hnuk lae ransanaw ni thingkong hnuklah a kâbang awh.
While the horns continued to sound, the armed troops marched ahead of the priests who blew the horns, and the rear guard followed the ark.
10 Joshua ni nangmouh teh, kai ni hram hanelah lawk na thui e hnin a pha hoehnahlan, na hram awh mahoeh. A pawlawk buet touh hai na tho sak awh mahoeh. Lawkkam touh hai na tho awh mahoeh. Hote a hnin a pha torei na hram awh han telah lawk na thui awh toe.
But Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not give a battle cry or let your voice be heard; do not let one word come out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you are to shout!”
11 Hottelah BAWIPA Cathut e thingkong teh khopui vai touh a lawngven awh hnukkhu hoi rim thung bout a ban awh teh, rum touh a loum sak awh.
So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. And the people returned to the camp and spent the night there.
12 Amom Joshua ni a thaw teh, vaihmanaw ni BAWIPA e thingkong hah a hrawm sak.
Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests took the ark of the LORD.
13 BAWIPA e thingkong hmalah Jubili mongka sari touh ka sin e vaihmanaw sari touh ni pou a cei awh na laihoi mongka a ueng awh. Senehmaica kapatuemnaw ni ahnimae hmalah a cei awh teh, vaihmanaw ni mongka ueng na laihoi a cei awh nah vah, hnuk lae ransanaw teh, BAWIPA e thingkong hnukkhu lah a kâbang awh.
And the seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns kept marching ahead of the ark of the LORD and blowing the horns. The armed troops went in front of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the horns kept sounding.
14 A pahni hnin khopui vai touh a lawngven awh hoi rim koe lah bout a ban awh. Hottelah hnin taruk thung a sak awh.
So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
15 Asari hnin amom khodai tahma vah, a thaw awh teh, ahmoun e patetlah vai sari totouh khopui hah a lawngven awh. Hot hnin teh vai sari touh khopui a lawngven awh.
Then on the seventh day, they got up at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. That was the only day they circled the city seven times.
16 Apa sari hnin teh, vaihmanaw ni mongka a ueng torei teh, Joshua ni hram awh leih, BAWIPA ni khopui nangmouh koe na poe awh han toe.
After the seventh time around, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
17 Khopui hoi khopui thung kaawm e pueng abuemlah thoebo vaiteh BAWIPA koe poe han toe. Hateiteh tak kâyawt e Rahab teh maimouh ni patoun awh e patounenaw hah a hro dawkvah, ahni hoi a imthungkhu abuemlah a hringnae na hlout sak awh han.
Now the city and everything in it must be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house will live, because she hid the spies we sent.
18 Nangmouh ni thoebo e hnonaw hah kâhruetcuet laihoi roun awh. Hote hnonaw hah na lat awh pawiteh, nangmouh dawk hai, Isarel ransa dawk hai, thoebo e lah awm vaiteh a rucatnae na poe vaih tie lakueng hanelah ao.
But keep away from the things devoted to destruction, lest you yourself be set apart for destruction. If you take any of these, you will set apart the camp of Israel for destruction and bring disaster upon it.
19 Sui, Ngun, hoi rahum, sumpai abuemlah BAWIPA hanelah thoung sak awh nateh, BAWIPA e hnopai thung vah na hruek awh han telah a taminaw koe Joshua ni atipouh.
For all the silver and gold and all the articles of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD; they must go into His treasury.”
20 Hot patetvanlah mongka a ueng awh teh, taminaw ni a hram awh. Mongka lawk a thai awh nah kacaipounglah a hram awh torei teh, khopui kalupnae rapan teh, koung a tip, khopui thung a kâen sin awh teh, khopui teh a la awh.
So when the rams’ horns sounded, the people shouted. When they heard the blast of the horn, the people gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. Then all the people charged straight into the city and captured it.
21 Khopui thung kaawm e tongpa, napui, kacue, kanaw, Tu, Maito, La kaawm e pueng tahloi hoi koung a tâtueng awh.
At the edge of the sword they devoted to destruction everything in the city—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys.
22 Hote ram ka tuet e tami roi koe, Joshua ni nangmouh roi ni thoe na bo e patetlah kâyawt e napui im dawk cet nateh, ahni khuehoi ahni koe kaawm e abuemlah tâcawtkhai awh, atipouh.
Meanwhile, Joshua told the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the house of the prostitute and bring out the woman and all who are with her, just as you promised her.”
23 Hatdawkvah, ka tuet roi e ni a kâen roi teh, Rahab hoi a manu, a napa, a thangroi naw, ahni koe kaawm e abuemlah hoi amae a hmaunawngha pueng hai a tâco sak teh, Isarelnaw e rim alawilah ao sak.
So the young spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother and brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside the camp of Israel.
24 Khopui khuehoi khopui thung kaawm e abuemlah hmai a sawi awh. Hateiteh, Sui, Ngun, hoi rahum e hno, sumpainaw hai, BAWIPA e hno kuemnae dawk a hruek awh.
Then the Israelites burned up the city and everything in it. However, they put the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
25 Joshua ni tak kâyawt e Rahab hoi amae phun, Ama koe kaawm e abuemlah hring hloutnae a poe teh, ahni teh Isarel miphun dawkvah sahnin totouh ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jeriko khopui ka tuet hane Joshua e patounenaw hah a hro dawk doeh.
And Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. So she has lived among the Israelites to this day.
26 Hahoi Joshua ni apihai yah Jeriko khopui bout kangdout sak e teh, BAWIPA hmalah, thoebo e tami lah awm seh. Camin se nah adu a ung vaiteh, cahnoung se nah kho longkhanaw hah sak naseh, telah thoe a bo.
At that time Joshua invoked this solemn oath: “Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho; at the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
27 Hottelah BAWIPA ni Joshua hoi rei ao teh, ahnie min teh ram pueng dawk a kamthang.
So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
