Joshua 8
1 And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear not, nor be timorous: take with you all the men of war, and arise, go up to Gai; behold, I have given into your hands the king of Gai, and his land.
Hichejou chun Pakaiyin Joshua kommah chun aseije, “Kicha hih’in, lungthoina jong neihih’in, nasepai hochu puijinlangAi khopi khu gadelkhumtan, ajeh chu Ai lengpa le amipite, akhopi le agamchu nangma khutna kapehdoh ahitai.
2 And you shall do to Gai, as you did to Jericho and its king; and you shall take to yourself the spoil of its cattle; set now for yourself an ambush for the city behind.
Jericho le alengpao nasuhgam banga amaho jong nasuhgam ding, amavang tuchunga hi agancha houleh anei agou nachomdoh houchu nakilah theiju ahi. Akhopiu nunglanga khun gachangpang tauvin,” ati.
3 And Joshua and all the men of war rose to go up to Gai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men, and he sent them away by night.
Hitichun Joshua leh asepaite chu Ai khopi gadelkhum dingin akontouvun ahi. Joshua’n asepaite lah’a galsat hatcheh sangsom thum alhengdoh’in jannin asoldoh’in,
4 And he charged them, saying, Do you lie in ambush behind the city: do not go far from the city, and you shall all be ready.
Hitihin thupeh aneiyin ahi: “Nangho cheuvinlang khopi nunglanga khun kinaichan gachangpang’unlang khopi delkhum dingkhun kigosademmin ummun,
5 Land I and all with me will draw near to the city: and it shall come to pass when the inhabitants of Gai shall come forth to meet us, as before, that we will flee from before them.
Hiteng chuleh keile kaloiho chengin khopi chu kadellutdiu chutengleh amasa-abang bangchun amaho keiho satdin hungkondoh’un tin chutengleh amaho masanga chu keiho kajamdiu ahi.
6 And when they shall come out after us, we will draw them away from the city; and they will say, These men flee from before us, as also before.
Khopia konna chu keihon amaho chu kakidelmang sahdiu, chutengleh amahon Israelte hi amasa bang banga imasang’uva jamkitna ahitauve atidiu ahi. Chujouteng chuleh keiho amahoa konna kajam sunguva chu,
7 And you shall rise up out of the ambuscade, and go into the city.
Nangho nachangpan nauva konchun hungpotdoh’unlang akhopiu chu nalonvuh jengdiu ahi, na Pakai na Pathennun nangho khutna nahin pehdohdiu ahi.
8 You shall do according to this word, behold! I have commanded you.
Chutengleh Pakaiyin nathupeh bang bangun akhopiu chu meiyin hallha jengun hichu thupeh ahi,” ati.
9 And Joshua sent them, and they went to lie in ambush; and they lay between Baethel and Gai, westward of Gai.
Hitichun amaho akipatdoh’un Bethel leh Ai khopi lhumlam kikah achangpanna diu munnah chun ache tauvin ahi. Ahinlah Joshua chu hichejou chun mipiho toh ngahmunna chun agehkhommun ahi.
10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people; and he went up, he and the elders before the people to Gai.
Joshua chu jingkah langin matah’in akipatnin amite asuthouvin Ai khopi lang ajontan, hichea hin Israel upa hon ana juijun ahi.
11 And all the men of war went up with him, and they went forward and came over against the city eastward.
Joshua chu amatoh umkhom sepaiho chengchutoh khopi maija chun akijotnun sahlanga chun ngahmun asemmun ahi. Amaholeh Ai kikah’a chun phaicham khat aummin ahi.
12 And the ambuscade [was] on the west side of the city.
Chuin aman mi sang nga tobang apuijin Bethel leh Ai khopi kikah khopi lhumlamma chun achangpansah’in ahi.
Hitichun asepai bulpi penchu khopi sahlanga apansah’in chuleh khopi lhumlamma chun changpangloi akoiyin, Joshua amatah chu phaichamma chun ageh’in ahi.
14 And it came to pass when the king of Gai saw [it], he hasted and went out to meet them direct to the battle, he and all the people [that were] with him: and he knew not that there was an ambuscade [formed] against him behind the city.
Ai lengpan phaicham langa um Israelte chu agahmu phatnin amale asepaite jouse chun jingpitah’in Jordan phaicham gah kigalmuna munna chun anokhum tauvin ahi. Ahinla khopi nunglanga chun amaho aguh’a chaangpanga aumme tichu aman ahetlou ahi.
15 And Joshua and Israel saw, and retreated from before them.
Joshua leh Israel sepaite chu gallel tobang'in gammang langa chun ajamtauvin ahi.
16 And they pursued after the children of Israel, and they themselves went to a distance from the city.
Hichechun khopi sunga umjouse chu akikoudoh’un abonchauvin amaho chu adeltauvin, hitichun amaho chu khopia konchun alhemdoh tauvin ahi.
17 There was no one left in Gai who did not pursue after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
Ai ahilouleh Bethella chun mi khatcha kidalha louvin Israelte chu adelsohkei tauvin ahi. Hitichun khopi ahomkeuvin adalha tauvin ahi.
18 And the Lord said to Joshua, Stretch forth your hand with the spear that is in your hand towards the city, for I have delivered it into your hands; and the liers in wait shall rise up quickly out of their place.
Hiche jouchun Pakaiyin Joshua komma chun hitin ahin seije, “Natengchao chu domsang’unlang Ai khopi lang ngatsah tauvin, ajeh chu keiman hichekhu nangho khutna kapehdoh ahitai” ati. Hichun Joshua’n akhutna um atengcha chu adomsang’in khopi langchu agah ngatsahtan ahi.
19 And Joshua stretched out his hand [and] his spear towards the city, and the ambuscade rose up quickly out of their place; and they came forth when he stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and burnt the city with fire.
Joshua’n akhut adopsang phatnin changpang ho jouse chu akiselnauva kon in ahung potdoh’un khopi langa chun alonglut jeng tauvin ahi. Amahon gangtah’in khopi chu alouvin meiyin ahallha tauvin ahi.
20 And when the inhabitants of Gai looked round behind them, then they saw the smoke going up out of the city to heaven, and they were no longer able to flee this way or that way.
Ai khomite chu akinung heijun agah veuvin ahileh, khopia konna meikhu chu vanlaijol langa akitung jengin ahileh chenading helouvin abeiden tauvin ahi. Ajeh chu Israelte gammang langa ana jamlut hochu ahung kileheijun amaho chu ahinledal tauvin ahi.
21 And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambuscade had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up to heaven; and they turned and struck the men of Gai.
Joshua leh Israelte chun apanlah nauchu alolhing’in khopia konchun meikhu akitungdoh tai tichu amuphatnun ahung kileheijun Ai mite chu ahin delkhum tauvin ahi.
22 And these came forth out of the city to meet them; and they were in the midst of the army, some [being] on this side, and some on that; and they struck them until there was not left of them one who survived and escaped.
Alangkhatnah khopi sunga um Israelte chu ahungpotdoh’un galmi hochu anunglang uva kon in ahin delkhum uvin, hitichun Ai khopi mite chu ajet aveijuva Israelten aumchinto tauvin amaho alailunga chatmo hellin aumtauve. Israelten adelkhummun mi khat ajong asohcha ahilouleh ahingdoh’a aumpouve.
23 And they took the king of Gai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Ai lengpa changseh chu ahingin amannun Joshua kommah ahin puilutnun ahi.
24 And when the children of Israel had ceased slaying all that were in Gai, and in the fields, and in the mountain on the descent, from whence they pursued them [even] to the end, then Joshua returned to Gai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.
Israel sepaiten Ai mite chu adel’uva tollhanga umjouse chu athajou phatnun amaho akinung heijun asunga langa umjouse jongchu athatchai heltauvin ahi.
25 And they that fell in that day, men and women, were twelve thousand: [they killed] all the inhabitants of Gai.
Hitichun Ai khopi sunga cheng mipite jouse, numeiti pasalti abonchan hiche nikho chun athatgam soh hellun ahileh mi sangsom le sangni alhingin ahi.
Ai khopi sunga cheng jouse chu akisuhmanghel kahsen Joshua’n atengcha chu adomsang jing jengin ahi.
27 Beside the spoils that were in the city, all things which the children of Israel took as spoil for themselves according to the command of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Joshua.
Pakaiyin Joshua athupeh bangin, khopi sunga um agancha houleh anei agouhou chu sumang louvin Israelten amaho chandingin akichom tauve.
28 And Joshua burnt the city with fire: he made it an uninhabited heap for ever, [even] to this day.
Hitichun Joshua’n Ai khopi chu ahallhatan ahileh hichu tuni changgeijin amangthah paitan ahi.
29 And he hanged the king of Gai on a gallows; and he remained on the tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave charge, and they took down his body from the tree, and cast it into a pit, and they set over him a heap of stones until this day.
Joshua’n Ai lengpa chu nilhahlang geijin thingchungah anakhaijin, ni ahunglhum phatnin Joshua thupeh dungjuijin atahsa chu thingchunga kon in alalhauvin, khopi kelkot maija chun anaseplhauvin ahi. Amahon achunga chun song asetkhummun tuni changgeijin mutheijin aumnalaije.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel in mount Gaebal,
Hijouchun Joshua’n Ebal mol chungah Pakai Israel Pathen kommah maicham asemmin,
31 as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, on which iron had not been lifted up; and he offered there whole burnt offerings to the Lord, and a peace-offering.
Pakai lhacha Mose’in Israel chate anathupeh Mose daanbua anakijih bangin, thih hemma ana kikheng khalou songtum maicham chungah pumgo thilto leh chamna thilto anabollin ahi.
32 And Joshua wrote upon the stones a copy of the law, even the law of Moses, before the children of Israel.
Hitichun aman Israelte mitmu changtah chun Mose daan thupeh hochu song chunga chun anajihdoh’in ahi.
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and their judges, and their scribes, passed on one side and on the other before the ark; and the priests and the Levites took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the stranger and the native were there, who were half of them near mount Garizin, and half near mount Gaebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded at first, to bless the people.
Hiche jouchun Israelte jouse agam sunga pengdenho ahin khopem mi ahiuvin, upa ho jouse, vaihom ho jouse le thutanho jouse ahiuvin hopnin akihommun, hopkhat chu Gerazin mol maija adingun, hopkhat chu Ebal mol maija adingun ahi. Ahopni chun aki-angngat touvin akikah uvah Pakai kitepna thingkongpu Levi thempuho chu adingun ahi. Hichehi Israel mipiten phatthei achanna diuva Pakailhacha Mose thupeh dungjuija anaboljiu dungjuija chu abollu ahi.
34 And afterwards Joshua read accordingly all the words of this law, the blessings and the curses, according to all things written in the law of Moses.
Hiche jouchun Mose’n adaan lekhabua anajihlut phatthei bohna le sapsetna hochu Joshua’n mipi ang’ah chun asimdoh’in ahi.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses charged Joshua, which Joshua read not in the ears of all the assembly of the children of Israel, the men, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that joined themselves to Israel.
Mose thupeh thuchengho jouse chu Israel mipi ahung kikhomho leh, nunao chapangho, chuleh alah’uva cheng gamdangmi ho pumma ajahsohkei diuvin asimdoh soh hellin ahi.
