< Joshua 7 >

1 Hateiteh, Judah miphun, Jerah, Zabdi, Karmi e capa Akhan ni thoebo e hno hah a la teh, hote hno dawk hoi Isarel miphunnaw ni payonnae yon lah ao dawkvah, BAWIPA teh, ahnimouh koe a lungkhuek.
But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of Yhwh was kindled against the children of Israel.
2 Joshua ni Jeriko khopui hoi taminaw hah a patoun teh, nangmouh ni Bethel kho kanîtholah Bethaven kho teng kaawm e Ai kho cet awh nateh, hote ram hah tuet awh atipouh e patetlah ahnimouh ni a cei awh teh, Ai kho a tuet awh.
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth–aven, on the east side of Beth–el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3 Joshua koe bout a ban awh teh, hete taminaw abuemlah cetsak hanh tami 2000 hoehpawiteh 3000 tabang cei vaiteh, Ai kho tuk awh naseh. Hote kho dawk cei hane hah, hate tami pueng patang sak hanh. Kho thung e tami pap awh hoeh atipouh.
And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
4 Hatdawkvah, tami 3,000 tabang a cei awh, hatei Ai kho e taminaw hmalah a yawng awh.
So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
5 Ai kho e taminaw ni tami 36 touh a thei awh. Kho longkha koehoi Sebarim hmuen totouh a pâlei awh. Hote hmuen koe a kum awh navah a thei awh dawkvah, tami pueng e lungthin teh, tui lah a kamyawt teh, tui patetlah ao.
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 Joshua ni amae khohna a phi teh, Isarel miphunnaw, kacue kanaw abuemlah a lû dawk vaiphu a kâphuen awh teh, BAWIPA e thingkong e hmalah karumsaning totouh a tabo awh.
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Yhwh until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
7 Joshua ni, oe BAWIPA nang ni hete tami pueng heh, Amor miphunnaw e kut dawkvah na poe vaiteh, raphoe sak hanelah Jordan palang namran lah bangkongmaw na hrawi awh. Kaimanaw ni lungkuepnae lungthin ka tawn awh dawkvah, Jordan palang kanîtholah na awm sak haw.
And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Yhwh, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
8 Oe BAWIPA, Isarel miphunnaw ni tarannaw hmalah hnuklah kamlang takhai toung dawkvah, kai ni bangtelamaw ka dei han toung.
O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
9 Kanaan taminaw a onae ram thung taminaw ni, hote kamthang a thai awh navah, kaimanaw na ven awh vaiteh, kaimae ka min teh, talai dawk hoi na takhoe awh han toe. Nange na min lentoe nahanelah bangtelamaw na ti han toung telah atipouh awh.
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
10 BAWIPA ni thaw haw, bangkong sut na tahung,
And Yhwh said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
11 Isarel miphunnaw na yon awh toe. Kai ni lawk na thui awh e lawkkam hah na raphoe awh toe. Thoe ka bo e hno na paru awh teh, dumyennae na sak awh teh, namamae hno thung na hruek awh toe.
Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
12 Hottelah Isarel miphunnaw ni thoebo e tami lah na o dawkvah, na tarannaw e hmalah na kangdout thai awh hoeh. Hnuklah na kamlang takhai awh. Thoebo kawi lah kaawm hane tami hah nangmouh thung dawk hoi na takhoe hoehpawiteh kai teh nangmouh hoi rei kaawm mahoeh.
Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
13 Thaw nateh, na taminaw hah thoung sak haw. Tangtho e hnin hanlah namahoima thoung sak haw atipouh. Isarel miphunnaw e BAWIPA ni kâ na poe e teh, oe Isarel miphunnaw, thoebo e hno teh, nangmae thung vah ao. Hote hno hah nangmouh koehoi na takhoe awh hoehroukrak na tarannaw hmalah na kangdout thai awh mahoeh.
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
14 Tangtho amom miphun miphun lahoi kai koe ka hnai lah na tho awh han. BAWIPA ni a la e miphun teh, a miphun lahoi na hnai awh han. BAWIPA ni a la e imthungkhu kuep lahoi na hnai awh han. BAWIPA ni a la e imthungkhu teh, tami buetbuet touh hoi na hnai awh han.
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which Yhwh taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which Yhwh shall take shall come by households; and the household which Yhwh shall take shall come man by man.
15 Thoebo e hno ka sin e teh, a la e tami hoi a tawn e hno pueng hoi hmaisawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni BAWIPA e lawkkam hah a raphoe teh, Isarel miphun thung dawk kaya ka tho e hno a sak toe telah Joshua koe atipouh.
And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of Yhwh, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
16 Amom lah Joshua a thaw teh, Isarel miphunnaw a miphun lahoi a thokhai teh, Judah miphunnaw hah a la.
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
17 Judah miphunnaw a thokhai teh, Zerahnaw hah a la. Zerah imthungkhu pueng hah a thokhai teh, Zebdi imthungnaw hah a la.
And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
18 Hote imthung dawk hoi tami buet touh hoi a thokhai teh, Judah miphun Zerah, Zabdi, Karminaw dawk hoi ka tho e Akhan hah a la.
And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 Joshua ni ka ca Isarel miphunnaw e BAWIPA pholen nateh, a hmalah na yonnae pâpho haw. Nang ni na sakpayon e hno hah, kai koe na dei pouh haw, hrawk hanh telah Akhan hah atipouh.
And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Yhwh God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
20 Akhan ni ka payon toe. Isarel miphunnaw e BAWIPA koe ka yon toe.
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against Yhwh God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
21 Kai ni ka yon e hno teh, Lawp awh e hno thung dawk a phu kaawm poung e Babilon hnicu, ngun shekel cum hni, Sui shekel 50, kai ni ka noe teh, ka kuem toe. Kama e rim thung talai dawk ka pakawp teh, ngun teh, athungpoung lah ao telah Joshua koe a dei poeh.
When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 Hahoi Joshua e patounenaw ni rim koe lah a yawng awh teh, hote hnonaw rim thung talai dawk a pakawp e ngun hah a hmu awh toteh,
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 rim thung e a la awh teh, Joshua koe, Isarel miphunnaw hmalah a sin awh teh, BAWIPA e hmalah a ta awh.
And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Yhwh.
24 Joshua hoi Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah ni Zerah e capa Akhan koehoi, ngun, hnicu, suitueng, a canaw, tu, maito, la, rim khuehoi a ma koe kaawm e pueng, Akhor tanghling dawk a ceikhai awh teh,
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
25 Joshua ni kaimanaw han bangkongmaw runae na poe, sahnin BAWIPA ni nang teh runae na poe van han atipouh teh, Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah ni talung hoi a dei awh. A dei awh hnukkhu hmai a sawi awh.
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? Yhwh shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
26 Ahni e a van vah talung a pum awh teh, sahnin totouh ao. BAWIPA e a lungkhueknae a roum. Hote hmuen teh sahnin totouh Akhor tanghling telah a phung awh.
And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So Yhwh turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
