Joshua 4
1 And when they were passed over, the Lord said to Josue:
Mipiho chu Jordan agalkai sohhel phatnun, Pakaiyin Joshua komma chun thu ahinseije,
2 Choose twelve men, one of every tribe:
“Tun phungtinna kon in pasal somleni lhengdoh’in lang,
3 And command them to take out of the midst of the Jordan, where the feet of the priests stood, twelve very hard stones, which you shall set in the place of the camp, where you shall pitch your tents this night.
Jordan vadung lailung nadinnauva kon in song somleni hinchoidoh’un, hichu choijunlang tunilhah’a nagenadiu munnachun sekhommun,” ati.
4 And Josue called twelve men, whom he had chosen out of the children of Israel, one out of every tribe,
Hitichun Joshua’n Israel phungtinna konna alhendoh somleni hochu akoukhom’in,
5 And he said to them: Go before the ark of the Lord your God to the midst of the Jordan, and carry from thence every man a stone on your shoulders, according to the number of the children of Israel,
Amaho komma chun, “Jordan lailung Pakai na Pathennu thingkong masanga khun cheuvinlang mikhatnin songkhat cheh nalengkou uvah hinpuuvin lang, Israel phung somleni a kon in phungkhat’a songkhat cheh, song somleni chu hinchoijun tin aseipeh’in ahi.
6 That it may be a sign among you and when your children shall ask you tomorrow, saying: What mean these stones?
Eihon hiche song hohi melchihna khatna imandiu ahi. Khonungteng leh nachateuvin hiche songhi ipi vetsahna ham tia ahindoh tenguleh,
7 You shall answer them: The waters of the Jordan ran off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, when it passed over the same: therefore were these atones set for a monument of the children of Israel for ever.
Nanghon hitiahi nadonbutdiu ahi, Pakai kitepna thingkong chu akiput galkai phat chun Jordan vadung chu atanghel jengtan ahi, Israel mipiten itihchan hijongleh ahetjingna diuva hiche songho hi amelchihna hiding ahi tia naseipehdiu ahi.” ati.
8 The children of Israel therefore did as Josue commanded them, carrying out of the channel of the Jordan twelve stones, as the Lord had commanded him, according to the number of the children of Israel, unto the place wherein they camped, and there they set them.
Hitichun mipihon Joshua athupeh bang bangin abol’un ahi. Pakaiyin Joshua ana thupeh bang bangin Jordan vadung lailunga konchun phung khatna songkhat chehtoh kitoh dingin song chu somleni ahin puuvin ahi. Amahon hichu ajangenau ngahmunnah apolutnun het jingna song dingin aphut tauvin ahi.
9 And Josue put other twelve stones in the midst of the channel of the Jordan, where the priests stood that carried the ark of the covenant: and they are there until this present day.
Joshua’n jong achombeh’in Jordan lailunga kitepna thingkong puho keng phangin achotphanau laitah’a chun song somleni aphutnin ahi. Hichechu tuni geijin aumnalaijin ahi.
10 Now the priests that carried the ark, stood in the midst of the Jordan till all things were accomplished which the Lord had commanded Josue to speak to the people, and Moses had said to him. And the people made haste and passed over.
Mose’n Pakai thupeh ho Joshua anapehson hochu akitoldoh sohkei tokah’in thingkongpua thempuho chu vadung lailunga chun dding jingun ahi. Alangkhatnah mipiho chu kinotah’in vadung chu agalkaijun ahi.
11 And when they had all passed over, the ark also of the Lord passed over, and the priests went before the people.
Mipiho jouse chu bitkeija agalkai sohkei phatnun Pakai thingkong puho jongchu mipiho mitmu changtah chun agalkaijun ahi.
12 The children of Ruben also and Gad, and half the tribe of Manasses, went armed before the children of Israel as Moses had commanded them.
Galmanchah kichoi Reuben leh Gad phungmi holeh Manasseh phung akehkhatnin Mose thupeh bangin Israelte chu alamkaijun Jordan agalkai masauvin ahi.
13 And forty thousand fighting men by their troops, and bands, marched through the plains and fields of the city of Jericho.
Hitobanga galmanchah kichoi mihem sangsomli hochu galsat dinga kigosadem ahiuve, chuleh, amaho chu Pakai mapuina changpummin Jericho khopi phaicham lang’ah chun agalkai tauvin ahi.
14 In that day the Lord magnified Josue in the sight of all Israel, that they should fear him, as they had feared Moses, while he lived.
Hiche nikho chun Pakaiyin Joshua chu Israelte jouse mitmun atunglennin ahi, hitichun amahon ahinkho lhumkeijin agingun, Mose anaja bang bangun jana anapeuvin ahi.
15 And he said to him:
Pakaiyin Joshua kommachun hitin anaseije,
16 Command the priests, that carry the ark of the covenant, to come up out of the Jordan.
“Vadung tolhgo laiya konchun Pakai kitepna thingkongpu hochu hungdoh dingin thu pen,” ati.
17 And he commanded them, saying: Come ye up out of the Jordan.
Hitichun Joshua’n jong thupeh chu agah neitan ahi.
18 And when they that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, were come up, and began to tread on the dry ground, the waters returned into the channel, and ran as they were wont before.
Pakai kitepna thingkongpu thempuho chu vadung golaija konna ahungpotdoh uva akengphangun vadung pang tolgo lah chu ahinchot phat’uvin Jordan vadung tuichu ahunglong kitnin tumasanga bang bangin vadung pang aletdoh sohkei kittan ahi.
19 And the people came up out of the Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Galgal, over against the east side of the city of Jericho.
Mipichun lhamasa nisom channi chun Jordan chu ahung galkaijun Jericho solam Gilgal munna chun ngahmun asemmun ahi.
20 And the twelve stones which they had taken out of the channel of the Jordan, Josue pitched in Galgal,
Joshua’n Jordan vadunga konna song somleni ahinlah chu hiche Gilgal munnahin alomchang’in asekhommin ahi.
21 And said to the children of Israel: When your children shall ask their fathers, tomorrow, and shall say to them: What mean these stones?
Hichun Joshua’n Israelte kommachun aseijin, “Khonungleh nachateuvin hichehi ipi vetsahna ham tia nahindoh tenguleh,
22 You shall teach them and say: Israel passed over this Jordan through the dry channel.
Hiteng chuleh nanghon hiche laiya hi Israel chaten Jordan tolgo laiya ahung galkaina munnu chu ahi tia nadonbutdiu ahi,
23 The Lord your God drying up the waters thereof in your sight, until you passed over: As he had done before in the Red Sea, which he dried up till we passed through:
Ajeh chu, na Pakai na Pathennun nangho mitmu tah’a tuichu Achansah’a hitia chu twikhanglensan igalkaisoh kahseuva Achansah banga chu igalkai sohkei tokah uva akansah ahin,
24 That all the people of the earth may learn the most mighty hand of the Lord, that you also may fear the Lord your God for ever.
Leiset chunga nam jousen Pakai banthahat anatatje ahetsohna diuleh nanghon jong Pakai na Pathennu itihchan hijongleh naginjing theinadiu ahi tia naseipehdiu ahi.” tin aseipeh tai.
