Joshua 7
1 But the children of Israel committed unfaithfulness in that which had been brought under the curse: 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 Jehovah was kindled against the children of Israel.
Tedae Israel ca rhoek te yaehtaboeih dongah boekoeknah la boe a koek uh. Judah koca khuikah Zerah kah a ca Zabdi ko Karmee capa Akhan loh yaehtaboeih la aka om te a loh. Te dongah BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh Israel ca rhoek taengah sai.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
Te vaengah Jerikho lamkah hlang rhoek te Bethel khothoeng Bethaven kaepkah aka om Ai la Joshua loh tueih tih, “Cet uh lamtah khohmuen ke hip uh lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlang rhoek te cet uh tih Ai te a hip uh.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; make not all the people to toil thither, for they are few.
Joshua taengla a mael uh vaengah tah, “Pilnam pum he cet boel mai saeh. Hlang he tongpa thawng hnih thawng thum tluk cet uh saeh lamtah Ai te a tloek toem bitni. Amih hlangsii ham te pilnam pum taengah kohnue mai boeh,” a ti uh.
4 And there went up thither of the people about three thousand men, but they fled before the men of Ai.
Te dongah pilnam khui lamkah hlang thawng thum tluk tah cet uh van dae Ai hlang rhoek mikhmuh ah rhaelrham uh.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men; and they pursued them from before the gate to Shebarim, and smote them on the descent. Then the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
Amih khui lamkah hlang sawmthum parhuk tluk te Ai hlang rhoek loh a ngawn. Amih te vongka hmai lamloh Shebarim duela a hloem uh tih singling ah a tloek vaengah pilnam tah a thinko paci tih tui bangla om uh.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and threw dust upon their heads.
Te dongah Joshua loh a himbai te a phen tih a BOEIPA kah thingkawng hmai ah kholaeh due a maelhmai neh diklai la bakop. Amah neh Israel a hamca rhoek long khaw a lu dongah laipi a poep uh.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh that we had been content and had remained beyond the Jordan!
Te vaengah Joshua loh, “Aw ka Boeipa Yahovah, balae tih pilnam he Jordan na kat na kat sak phoeiah kaimih aka milh sak ham a Amori kut ah kaimih he nan voeih. Ka ueh uh mai vetih Jordan rhalvangan ah duem ka om uh mai mako?
8 Ah Lord! what shall I say after Israel have turned their backs before their enemies?
Aw Boeipa Israel loh a thunkha rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a rhawn a maelh te balae ka ti eh.
9 When the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], they will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. And what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
Kanaan neh khohmuen kah khosa boeih loh ya koinih kaimih he m'vael uh vetih kaimih ming he diklai lamkah a hnawt uh ni ta. Te vaengah na boeilen ming te metlam na saii eh?,” a ti nah.
10 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Rise up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
Te dongah Joshua te BOEIPA loh, “Namah mah thoo lah. Balae tih na hmai la na bakop?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them, and they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it among their stuff.
Israel he tholh tih ka paipi khaw a poe. Amih te ka uen lalah yaehtaboeih te a loh uh bal tih a huen uh bal. Te lalah khaw basa uh tih amamih kah hnopai khuiah a khueh uh bal.
12 And the children of Israel shall not be able to stand before their enemies: they shall turn their backs before their enemies, for they have made themselves accursed. I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the accursed thing from your midst.
Israel ca rhoek he a thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah pai thai mahpawh. Yaehtaboeih la a om uh dongah a thunkha kah mikhmuh ah khaw a rhawn ni hikhik a hooi uh eh. Na khui lamkah yaehtaboeih te na khoe uh pawt atah nangmih taengah om hamla ka coeng thai voel moenih.
13 Rise up, hallow the people, and say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from your midst.
Thoo lamtah pilnam ke ciim laeh. Te vaengah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh, 'Israel nang khui ah yaehtaboeih om tih na khui lamkah yaehtaboeih te na khoe uh hlanhil na thunkha rhoek kah mikhmuh ah pai ham tah na coeng uh moenih,’ a ti coeng dongah thangvuen kho ham namamih te ciim uh laeh,” ti nah.
14 And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes; and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by families, and the family which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by households; and the household which Jehovah taketh shall come forward man by man.
Te dongah mincang ah namamih koca rhoek loh ha capit uh laeh. BOEIPA loh a buem koca long tah amah huiko neh ha pawk uh saeh. BOEIPA loh a buem huiko long tah a imkhuikho neh ha pawk uh saeh. BOEIPA loh a buem imkhuikho long khaw a hlang rhoek neh ha pawk saeh.
15 And it shall be, that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath wrought wickedness in Israel.
Yaehtaboeih aka buem tah ana om saeh, BOEIPA kah paipi a poe tih Israel khui ah boethae halang ni a saii. Te dongah amah neh amah taengkah boeih te hmai neh hoeh saeh,” a ti nah.
16 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and caused Israel to come forward by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
Mincang a thoh vaengah Joshua taengla Israel koca rhoek loh ha capit uh tih Judah koca te a tuuk.
17 And he caused the families of Judah to come forward, and he took the family of the Zarhites. And he caused the family of the Zarhites to come forward man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
Judah kah a hui a ko ha pawk vaengah Zarkhii kah a huiko te a tuuk. Zarkhii huiko khuikah hlang la a pawk dongah Zabdi te a tuuk.
18 And he caused his household to come forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Anih imkhui kah hlang la a pawk dongah Judah koca Zerah ko Zabdi kah a ca Karmee capa Akhan te a tuuk.
19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah the God of Israel, and make confession to him: tell me now what thou hast done, keep it not back from me.
Te dongah Akhan te Joshua loh, “Ka ca, Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah thangpomnah pae laeh lamtah uemonah khaw amah taengah pae laeh. Na saii te kai taengah phoe lamtah phah voel boeh,” a ti nah.
20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.
Te vaengah Akhan loh Joshua te a doo tih, “Ue kai he Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah ka tholh coeng tih he tlam he khaw ka saii coeng.
21 I saw among the spoils a beautiful mantle of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a golden bar of fifty shekels weight, and 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.
Kutbuem te ka sawt tih ka hmuh vaengah Shinar himbai then yungat, cak a khiing shekel yahnih, sui a khiing shekel sawmnga pakhat te ka nai tih ka loh. Tedae ka dap khui kah diklai khui ah ka up tih a cak te laedil ah om ke,” a ti nah.
22 And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
Te dongah Joshua loh puencawn rhoek te a tueih tih dap la a yong uh vaengah tah dap khuiah a thuh tih a laedil ah cak ana om tangloeng.
23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah.
Te dongah amih te dap khui lamkah a loh uh tih Joshua neh Israel ca rhoek taengla boeih a khuen uh. Te phoeiah BOEIPA hmai ah a rha uh.
24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the bar of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up into the valley of Achor.
Te phoeiah Zerah capa Akhan neh cak khaw, himbai khaw sui tling khaw, a capa neh a canu khaw, a vaito khaw, a laak khaw, a boiva khaw, a dap neh anih taengkah aka om boeih te Joshua loh a loh pah tih anih te Israel pum loh Akor kol la a khuen uh.
25 And Joshua said, How hast thou troubled us! Jehovah will trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
Te phoeiah Joshua loh, “Balae tih kaimih nan lawn, tihnin ah BOEIPA loh nang n'lawn saeh,” a ti nah. Anih te Israel pum loh lungto neh a dae uh tih hmai neh a hoeh uh. Te phoeiah ah khaw lungto neh a dae thil uh bal.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones, [which is there] to this day. And Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Valley of Achor, to this day.
Te dongah anih sokah a kuk lungkuk te tihnin duela muep om pueng. Tedae BOEIPA thintoek thinsa a sah coeng dongah tekah a hmuen ming khaw tihnin due Akor kol la a khue.
