Joshua 2
1 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim, saying, “Go, inspect the land, especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.
Nun e capa Joshua ni Shittim khopui koehoi tuet hanelah arulah hoi tami kahni touh a patoun. Kanaan ram Jeriko khopui lah cet awh nateh, khenhaw atipouh e patetlah ahnimouh roi ni a cei roi teh, ka kâyawt e Rahab im a kâen roi teh, hawvah ao roi.
2 And it was reported to the king of Jericho: “Behold, some men of Israel have come here tonight to spy out the land.”
Kho thung e tami tangawn ni hai hote ram heh tanouk hanelah Isarel miphun tangawn ni paduem tangmin lah khopui thung kâen awh toe ati awh teh, Jeriko siangpahrangnaw a thaisak toung dawkvah,
3 So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab and said, “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, for they have come to spy out the whole land.”
Jeriko siangpahrang ni Rahab koe na im ka tho ni teh kaluennaw hah tâcawt sak. Ahnimanaw teh khopui thung tanouk hanelah a tho awh toe telah kâ a poe awh.
4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. So she said, “Yes, the men did come to me, but I did not know where they had come from.
Rahab ni hote tami roi hah a kâhro sak teh, kai koe tami a tho bokheiyah. Hatei nâhoi maw a tho tie teh ka panuek hoeh.
5 At dusk, when the gate was about to close, the men went out, and I do not know which way they went. Pursue them quickly, and you may catch them!”
Kho hmo longkha khan tawmlei nah ahnimouh roi teh a tâco roi toe. Nâ lah maw a cei roi tie ka panuek hoeh toe. Karang lah pâlei awh. Na pha awh han doeh atipouh.
6 (But Rahab had taken them up to the roof and hidden them among the stalks of flax that she had laid out there.)
Telah a dei eiteh hotnaw hah im van a luen sak teh lemphu vah a hro toe.
7 So the king’s men set out in pursuit of the spies along the road to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as they had gone out, the gate was shut.
Thoundounnaw ni Jordan palang rakanae lam koe lah a pâlei awh. Khopui alawilah a pha hoiyah khopui longkhanaw pueng koung a khan awh.
8 Before the spies lay down for the night, Rahab went up on the roof
A hro e naw a i hoehnahlan, napui teh ahnimanaw a onae lemphu vah a luen teh,
9 and said to them, “I know that the LORD has given you this land and that the fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who dwell in the land are melting in fear of you.
BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmanaw hete ram na poe toe tie hah nangmouh koe kaimouh ni pueng hoi ka tâsue awh teh, nangmouh kecu dawk ram thung e tami pueng a lungro awh toe tie kai ni ka panue.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites across the Jordan, whom you devoted to destruction.
Nangmouh teh Izip ram hoi na tâco awh navah, Edom tuipui BAWIPA Cathut ni a hak sak tie hai thoseh, Jordan palang namran kaawm e pueng na raphoe awh teh, Amor siangpahrang, Sihon hoi Og dawkvah nangmouh ni hno na sak e pueng hai thoseh kaimouh ni ka thai awh toe.
11 When we heard this, our hearts melted and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in the heavens above and on the earth below.
Hote kamthang ka thai awh navah, kaimouh teh, nangmouh kecu dawk tami buet touh dawk hai taranhawinae awm hoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut teh, a Lathueng Poung e BAWIPA Cathut lah ao.
12 Now therefore, please swear to me by the LORD that you will indeed show kindness to my family, because I showed kindness to you. Give me a sure sign
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh dawk sannu ni hawinae ka sak e dawkvah, nangmouh ni hai rei ka tâcawt e kaimouh dawk hai hawinae sak awh nateh,
13 that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and that you will deliver us from death.”
kaie anu apa, hmaunawngha, ka thangroinaw koe, ahnimouh hoi kâkuen e pueng hai thet laipalah a hringnae hlout sak hanelah Cathut koe lawkkamnae sak awh nateh, thoekâbo awh. Mitnoutnae hno hai na poe haw atipouh.
14 “Our lives for your lives!” the men agreed. “If you do not report our mission, we will show you kindness and faithfulness when the LORD gives us the land.”
Ahnimanaw ni hai nang ni kaimouh hoi sak hane na kamnuek sak hoehpawiteh, nang na hring na hanelah kaimae hringnae teh, laicei lah awm naseh. Hete ram het BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe torei teh, nang dawk yuemkamcu lah ka o vaiteh, hawinae ka sak han telah ati awh.
15 Then Rahab let them down by a rope through the window, since the house where she lived was built into the wall of the city.
Hote napui a onae im teh, khopui tungdumnae ateng lah ao dawkvah, ahnimanaw hah hlalangaw dawk rui hoi a pabo teh
16 “Go to the hill country,” she said, “so that your pursuers will not find you. Hide yourselves there for three days until they have returned; then go on your way.”
nangmanaw na pâlei e taminaw koehoi na hlout thai awh nahan mon lah yawng awh nateh, hnin thum touh kâhrawk awh. Nangmouh katawngnaw a ban hnukkhu hoi cet awh atipouh.
17 The men said to her, “We will not be bound by this oath you made us swear
Ahnimanaw ni nang ni thoekâbo sak e dawk kaimouh koe yon phat sak hanh.
18 unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother and brothers and all your family into your house.
Hete ram dawk kaimouh ka pha toteh, atu kaimouh na pabonae hlalangaw dawk hete langsanrui hah pen nateh, manu napa, na thangroinaw hoi na imthungkhunaw abuemlah na im dawk koung na pâkhueng han.
19 If anyone goes out the door of your house into the street, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be innocent. But if a hand is laid on anyone with you in the house, his blood will be on our heads.
Na im dawk hoi alawilah ka tâcawt e tami teh dout pawiteh, a ma dawkvah khang naseh. Kaimouh teh yon dawk hoi ka hlout awh han. Na imthungkhunaw ka thet payon awh pawiteh kaimouh ni ka khang awh han.
20 And if you report our mission, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.”
Kaimae thaw hai na dei pouh boipawiteh, atu thoe na kâbo sak e dawk hoi kaimouh hai ka hlout awh han.
21 “Let it be as you say,” she replied, and she sent them away. And when they had gone, she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
Napui ni hai lawk na dei awh e patetlah awm lawiseh ati teh a ceisak. Napui ni hai rui paling e hah hlalangaw dawk a pakhi.
22 So the spies went out into the hill country and stayed there three days, until their pursuers had returned without finding them, having searched all along the road.
Ahnimanaw teh mon dawk a pha hoehroukrak a cei awh teh, kapâleinaw a ban hoehroukrak hnin thum touh ao awh. Kapâleinaw ni a tawng awh eiteh hmawt awh hoeh.
23 Then the two men started back, came down from the hill country, and crossed the river. So they came to Joshua son of Nun and reported all that had happened to them.
Ahnimouh roi teh mon hoi a kum teh tui a raka roi. Nun e capa Joshua koe a pha teh, a kâhmo e hnonaw pueng hah a dei pouh.
24 “The LORD has surely delivered the entire land into our hands,” they said to Joshua. “Indeed, all who dwell in the land are melting in fear of us.”
BAWIPA Cathut ni hote ram abuemlah maimae kut dawk na poe toe. Maimouh kecu dawk ram thung kaawm e tami pueng a lungpuen awh telah Joshua koe a dei pouh awh.
