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 shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel, —none came out and none went in.
2 Hat toteh, BAWIPA Cathut ni khenhaw! Jeriko khopui, Jeriko siangpahrang hoi athakaawme ransa pueng teh nange kut dawk na poe toe.
Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, See, I have delivered, into thy hand, Jericho and her king, —the mighty men of valour.
3 Hatdawkvah khopui teh, na lawngven awh han Isarel ransanaw abuemlah ni hnin taruk touh thung na lawngven awh han.
So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once, —thus, shall thou do 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 Taminaw koehoi, nangmouh ni na cei awh vaiteh, khopui hah lawngven awh. Senehmaica kapatuemnaw ni BAWIPA e thingkong hmalah cet awh telah atipouh.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going round once, —and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Amom Joshua ni a thaw teh, vaihmanaw ni BAWIPA e thingkong hah a hrawm sak.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, —and the priests bare the ark of Yahweh;
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 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 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 they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, —thus, did they, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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, 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 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.
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 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 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 Khopui thung kaawm e tongpa, napui, kacue, kanaw, Tu, Maito, La kaawm e pueng tahloi hoi koung a tâtueng awh.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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, 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 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.
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 Hottelah BAWIPA ni Joshua hoi rei ao teh, ahnie min teh ram pueng dawk a kamthang.
And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua, —and his fame was in all the land.
