< Joshua 6 >

1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
Tun Jericho mipite chun Israelte chu akichat jeh’un akhopiu kelkot chu akam chahkheh jengun ahi. Mi koimacha avadohsah pouvin lutjong alutsah pouvin ahi.
2 And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, along with its king and its mighty men of valor.
Ahinlah Pakaiyin Joshua kommah, “Hiche khopi leh alengpau chuleh asepaiteu jouse jong nakhutna kapehdoh ahitai.
3 March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.
Nangleh nasepai chengsetoh nigup sunga hi nisehleh khopihi khatvei naveldiu ahi.
4 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.
Thingkong masanga hi thempu sagi in kelchalki khatcheh akichoijuva kijotdiu ahi. Ni sagi channileh nanghon hiche khopihi sagivei naveldiu ahi.
5 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.”
Thempuhon kelchalki ho chu ahinmut mutnuleh mipiten na-o neichasun sunnuva sangtah'a nasapdiu ahi. Hiteng chuleh khopi kulpi chu chimlhading, hiteng chuleh mipiho chu khopi sunga chu nalhailutnuva nadelkhum jengdiu ahi,” ati.
6 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.”
Hitichun Joshua in thempuho chu akoukhommin hiti hin aseipeh tai, “Pakai kitepna thingkong chu puuvinlang, thempu sagi chun kelchalki kichoi cheh’unlang mipi masanga khun kijotnun” ati.
7 And he told the people, “Advance and march around the city, with the armed troops going ahead of the ark of the LORD.”
Hijouchun aman mipiho chu thu apen, “Khopi vella chun kijotnun, galmanchah kichoi chengse chu Pakai thingkong masanga cheuhenlang mipichu lamkai juhen,” ati.
8 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.
Joshua’n mipiho komma thu anaseijouchun Thempu sagiho chun pengkul akichoi cheh’un Pakai masanga chun akijotnun pengkul ho chu amutnun ahi. Chuleh Pakai kitepna thingkong chu ajuijun ahi.
9 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.
Galmanchah kichoi phabep chu pengkul kichoi thempuho masanga akijotnun, loikhatchu thingkong nunglanga akijotnun, thempuho chun pengkul chu amutjom jingun ahi.
10 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!”
Joshua’n thu ahinpen, “Koimachan kholhang samhih’un, paojong paopoh hih’un, keiman sammun kati tokah’in thu chengkhatcha jong nakammuva kon in gindohsah hih’un,” ati.
11 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.
Hitichun Pakai thingkong chu apuuvin hiche nikho chun khatvei khopi chu avellun, chujouvin abonchauvin ngahmun chu ajonnun agageh’un ahi.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests took the ark of the LORD.
Ajingin Joshua chu jingkah matah’in akipatdoh’in ahileh thempuho jongchun Pakai thingkong chu apukitnun ahi.
13 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.
Thempu sagi hochun pengkul chu akichoi cheh’un Pakai thingkong masanga chun akijotnun, pengkul chu amutnun ahi. Avellin, galmanchah kichoi hochu pengkul kichoi thempu ho masangleh Pakai thingkong puho nung’ah akijotnun ahi. Hiche sungse hin thempuho chun pengkul chu amut mutjingun ahi.
14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
Anini channa’in jong amahon khopi chu avelkitnun chujouvin ngahmunna ahung kile kitnun ahi. Hitobang hin nigup sungse chun abollun ahi.
15 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.
Ni sagi channa’in Israelte chu khovahlhah’in akipatdoh’un tumasanga abol bang bangun khopi chu avel kitnun ahi. Ahin tuchung ahin khopi chu sagivei avellun ahi.
16 After the seventh time around, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
Sagivei aveljouvun thempuhon pengkul thongjen junnin ahin mutphat uchun Joshua’n mipiho chu thu ahinpen, “Kholhang sammun! Pakaiyin hiche khopi hi nepeh’u ahitai!
17 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.
Jericho khopi leh asunga umjouse hi Pakaiyin asuhmang sohkei ding ahitai: Rahab kijohnu leh ainsung mite jouse chu kihing hoiding ahi, ajeh chu amanun gamvelhi’a kibol hochu ana hoidoh sah’in ahi.
18 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.
Suhmang dinga um thilho chu khatcha suloh hihbeh’un, achutilouleh nangho jong nakisuhmang tha dingu ahi, chuleh Israel ngahmunna hi hamsetna nahin lhutkhumlo diu ahi.
19 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.”
Amavang dangka le sana, chule thih le sum-eng’a kisem thilho chu Pakaija atheng ahin hicheho chu Pakai sumkholna a lutding ahi,” tin thupeh ana neitai.
20 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.
Mipiho chun pengkul kimutgin chu ajahphatnun a-ou neichasunnun asammun ahileh Jericho kulpi chu achimlha jengin ahi. Hiche phat chun Israelten khopi sungchu anokhummun alatauve.
21 At the edge of the sword they devoted to destruction everything in the city—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys.
Amahon khopi sunga umho jouse, numei pasal, ateh akhang, bong, kelngoi, kelcha chuleh sangan abonchan asumang sohkeijun ahi.
22 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.”
Hichun Joshua’n gamvelhia cheteni komma chun, nakitepna lhon dungjuijin akijohnu innachun lutlhonnin lang amanu le ainsung mite jouse chu gapuidoh lhonnin ati.
23 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.
Gamvelhia cheteni chu achelut lhonnin Rahab chu amatoh umkhom apale anu, asopiho le aisungmite jouse chutoh agapuidoh lhonnin ahi.
24 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.
Hijouchun, Israelten khopi chu asunga umjouse toh ahallhauvin asumanghel tauvin ahi. Ahin sumle sana, chule sum-eng le thih-a kisem thilho vang chu Pakai sumkholna munnah akoijun ahi.
25 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.
Hitichun Joshua’n Rahab kijohnu chu insunga aumkhopi ainsung mite jouse toh ahuhdoh’in ahi, ajeh chu aman Jericho velhi dinga asolteni chu anaseldoh’a ana hoidohsah lhon ahi.
26 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.”
Hichun, Joshua’n Jericho khopi chu anagaosap’in, “Koi hileh hiche Jericho khopi sapha go chanchu Pakai sapset changhen, tungdohgoa chu acha masapen’in loulo hen, akelkot tungdohgoa chu achapa lhumpen chaanlo hen,” ati.
27 So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
Hitichun Pakaiyin Joshua chu anaumpin hijeh chun gamsung pumpia chun amin ana kithanglheh jeng tan ahi.
