< Joshua 7 >

1 The Israelites, however, acted unfaithfully regarding the things devoted to destruction. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart. So the anger of the LORD burned against the Israelites.
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.
2 Meanwhile, Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and spy out the land.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
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.
3 On returning to Joshua, they reported, “There is no need to send all the people; two or three thousand men are enough to go up and attack Ai. Since the people of Ai are so few, you need not wear out all our people there.”
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.
4 So about three thousand men went up, but they fled before the men of Ai.
Hatdawkvah, tami 3,000 tabang a cei awh, hatei Ai kho e taminaw hmalah a yawng awh.
5 And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of them, chasing them from the gate as far as the quarries and striking them down on the slopes. So the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
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.
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown before the ark of the LORD until evening, as did the elders of Israel; and they all sprinkled dust on their heads.
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.
7 “O, Lord GOD,” Joshua said, “why did You ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be destroyed? If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan!
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.
8 O Lord, what can I say, now that Israel has turned its back and run from its enemies?
Oe BAWIPA, Isarel miphunnaw ni tarannaw hmalah hnuklah kamlang takhai toung dawkvah, kai ni bangtelamaw ka dei han toung.
9 When the Canaanites and all who live in the land hear about this, they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?”
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.
10 But the LORD said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face?
BAWIPA ni thaw haw, bangkong sut na tahung,
11 Israel has sinned; they have transgressed My covenant that I commanded them, and they have taken some of what was devoted to destruction. Indeed, they have stolen and lied, and they have put these things with their own possessions.
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.
12 This is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies. They will turn their backs and run from their enemies, because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will no longer be with you unless you remove from among you whatever is devoted to destruction.
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.
13 Get up and consecrate the people, saying, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Among you, O Israel, there are things devoted to destruction. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.
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.
14 In the morning you must present yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe that the LORD selects shall come forward clan by clan, and the clan that the LORD selects shall come forward family by family, and the family that the LORD selects shall come forward man by man.
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.
15 The one who is caught with the things devoted to destruction must be burned, along with all that belongs to him, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD and committed an outrage in Israel.’”
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.
16 So Joshua arose early the next morning and had Israel come forward tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected.
Amom lah Joshua a thaw teh, Isarel miphunnaw a miphun lahoi a thokhai teh, Judah miphunnaw hah a la.
17 He had the clans of Judah come forward, and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward, and the family of Zabdi was selected.
Judah miphunnaw a thokhai teh, Zerahnaw hah a la. Zerah imthungkhu pueng hah a thokhai teh, Zebdi imthungnaw hah a la.
18 And he had the family of Zabdi come forward man by man, and Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected.
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.
19 So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make a confession to Him. I urge you to tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
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.
20 “It is true,” Achan replied, “I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I did:
Akhan ni ka payon toe. Isarel miphunnaw e BAWIPA koe ka yon toe.
21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful cloak from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
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.
22 So Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and there it all was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.
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,
23 They took the things from inside the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and spread them out before the LORD.
rim thung e a la awh teh, Joshua koe, Isarel miphunnaw hmalah a sin awh teh, BAWIPA e hmalah a ta awh.
24 Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the cloak, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen and donkeys and sheep, his tent, and everything else he owned, and brought them to the Valley of Achor.
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,
25 “Why have you brought this trouble upon us?” said Joshua. “Today the LORD will bring trouble upon you!” And all Israel stoned him to death. Then they stoned the others and burned their bodies.
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.
26 And they heaped over Achan a large pile of rocks that remains to this day. So the LORD turned from His burning anger. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Achor to this day.
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.
