< Joshua 3 >
1 And Josue rose before daylight, and removed the camp: and they departed from Setim, and came to the Jordan, he, and all the children of Israel, and they abode there for three days.
Joshua teh amom a thaw teh Isarel miphun abuemlah hoiyah Shittim khopui hoi a kampuen awh teh, Jordan tui a raka awh hoehnahlan palang teng rim a sak awh.
2 After which, the heralds went through the midst of the camp,
Hnin thum touh a pha toteh, ransabawinaw ni ransahu onae tangkuem koe a cei awh.
3 And began to proclaim: When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests of the race of Levi carrying it, rise you up also, and follow them as they go before:
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut e lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e vaihma bawi Levih miphunnaw ni a kâkayawt lahun e na hmu torei teh, nangmanaw ni hai hmuen na kampuen awh vaiteh, na kâbang awh han.
4 And let there be between you and the ark the space of two thousand cubits: that you may see it afar off, and know which way you must go: for you have not gone this way before: and take care you come not near the ark.
Thingkong hoi nangmae a rahak vah, dong thong hni touh na kâhla awh han. Na kâbang hane lamthung na panue thai awh nahane thingkong rek na hnai awh mahoeh. Hete lam teh nangmouh ni vai touh hai na cet awh hoeh rah telah tami pueng hah lawk a thui.
5 And Josue said to the people: Be ye sanctified: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
Joshua ni nangmanaw pueng namahoima kâthoung sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tangtho e hnin teh, BAWIPA Cathut ni kângairu e hnonaw nangmouh koe a sak han toe telah taminaw lawk a thui.
6 And he said to the priests: Take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people. And they obeyed his commands, and took it up and walked before them.
Hahoi vaihmanaw kaw nateh, nangmanaw ni lawkkam thingkong hrawm na laihoi taminaw e hmalah rakat awh leih. Joshua ni a dei e patetlah ahnimanaw teh lawkkam thingkong a kâkayawt awh teh, taminaw hmalah a cei awh.
7 And the Lord said to Josue: This day will I begin to exalt thee before Israel: that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I am with thee also.
BAWIPA Cathut ni Joshua a kaw teh, kai ni Mosi ka okhai e patetlah nang koe ka o e hah Isarelnaw abuemlah ni a panue awh nahanelah, ahnimae hmaitung vah sahnin kai ni na kamsawng sak han.
8 And do thou command the priests that carry the ark of the covenant, and say to them: When you shall have entered into part of the water of the Jordan, stand in it.
Lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e vaihma bawinaw Jordan palang teng a pha awh torei teh, Jordan tui dawk a kangdue awh han telah patuen na dei pouh awh han atipouh.
9 And Josue said to the children of Israel: Come hither and hear the word of the Lord your God.
Joshua ni tho awh leih, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut e lawk teh ngâi awh hottelah Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah a kaw awh.
10 And again he said: By this you shall know that the Lord the living God is in the midst of you, and that he shall destroy before your sight the Chanaanite and the Hethite, the Hevite and the Pherezite, the Gergesite also and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite.
BAWIPA Cathut teh nangmouh koe ao, nangmae hmalah, Kanaannaw, Periznaw, Amornaw, Jebusitnaw, Hitnaw, Girgashitenaw hah a pâlei han tie hah panuek awh.
11 Behold the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth shall go before you into the Jordan.
Talaivan abuemlah ka uk e BAWIPA Cathut e lawkkam thingkong teh nangmae hmalah Jordan tuipui dawk a rakakhai awh toe.
12 Prepare ye twelve men of the tribes of Israel, one of every tribe.
Hatdawkvah Isarel miphunnaw thung hoi miphun tangkuem e tami buetbuet touh abuemlah tami hlaikahni touh rawi awh.
13 And when the priests, that carry the ark of the Lord the God of the whole earth, shall set the soles of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are beneath shall run down and go off: and those that come from above, shall stand together upon a heap.
Talai van abuemlah ka uk e Bawipa Jehovah e thingkong hah ka hrawm e vaihma bawinaw ni khoksampha hoi Jordan tuipui a coungroe tahma vah atunglae tui a kâhat vaiteh, a kamuem han.
14 So the people went out of their tents, to pass over the Jordan: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant. went on before them.
Taminaw teh Jordan tuipui raka awh hanelah rimnaw dawk hoi a kampuen vaiteh, lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e vaihma bawinaw ni taminaw e hmalah a cei awh han.
15 And as soon as they came into the Jordan, and their feet were dipped in part of the water, (now the Jordan, it being harvest time, had filled the banks of its channel, )
Jordan tuipui koe a pha awh hoi ka poum e tui hah khoksampha hoi a coungroe awh toteh, canganae a tue navah hote tuipui teh, palang rai dawk ouk a poum eiteh,
16 The waters that came down from above stood in one place, and swelling up like a mountain, were seen afar off from the city that is called Adom, to the place of Sarthan: but those that were beneath, ran down into the sea of the wilderness (which now is called the Dead Sea) until they wholly failed.
atunglah hoi ka lawng e tui a kâhat teh ahlanae koe e Zarethan khopui teng kaawm e Adam khopui totouh a kamuem. Arabah tuipui palang koe ka lawng e tui hai a kâhat teh, taminaw pueng ni Jeriko khopui koelah a raka awh.
17 And the people marched over against Jericho: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, stood girded upon the dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the people passed over through the channel that was dried up.
Tami moikapap teh Jordan namran a pha hoeh roukrak BAWIPA Cathut e lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e vaihma bawinaw ni tuipui lungui talai dawk kacaklah a kangdue awh teh, Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah ni talai dawk a cei awh.
