Joshua 5
1 When all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings of the Mediterranean coast heard how the Lord had dried up the waters of the River Jordan so that the Israelites could cross over, their courage melted and they no longer had any fighting spirit to face the Israelites.
Jordan lhumlamma cheng Amor mite lengho leh Mediterranean panga cheng Canaan mite lenghon Israel mipitehi a Pathennun Jordan vadung asuhkhangpeh’in ahin palgalkai sahtai ti ajahdoh phatnun kichatnan alungthimmu alhulhop gamtauvin ahi.
2 At that time the Lord told Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the new generation of Israelites.”
Hiche pettah chu Pakaiyin Joshua kommah “Songhem chu chemcha bangin semminlang Israelte chu akhangni channin achep’u tanpeh’in,” ati.
3 Joshua had flint knives made and all male Israelites were circumcised at the place that became known as “the hill of foreskins.”
Hitichun Joshua’n jong songhem chemchan asemmin Israelte chu Gibeath-haaraoth munnah achep’u anatanpeh’in ahi.
4 This is the reason why Joshua had them all circumcised: all those who left Egypt—the men of fighting age—had died on the journey through the wilderness after the Exodus.
Joshua’n amaho chu achepmu atanpeh louva khoh-a ahi, ajeh chu Egypt ahin dalhah uva galsatthei pasalho jouse chu gamthip gamma anathigam ah ahitauve.
5 They had all been circumcised when they left Egypt, but those born on the journey since then had not.
Egypt hindalha a pasalho jouse chu achepmu anakitan sohkeija ahiuvin, Ahinlah Egypt ma konna ahungpotdoh uva gamthip noija ahung kholjinnao kumsunga pengho chu achepmu kitan loulai ngen ahiuve.
6 For forty years the Israelites traveled through the wilderness until all the men of fighting age when they left Egypt had died, because they had not done what the Lord had told them to do. So the Lord had vowed that he would not let them see the land he had promised their forefathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Israelten Egypt ahin dalhah uva galsatthei jouse athigam kahseuva kum somli sunghi gamthip noija hung kholjinna ahiuve. Ajeh chu amahon Pakai thupeh anitlou jeh’un Pakaiyin khoiju le bongnoi lonna gam pehdinga ateppehnao gamchu alutsahlouna dinga ana kihahsella ahi.
7 The Lord replaced them with their children, and these were the ones that Joshua circumcised. They were uncircumcised since they hadn't been circumcised on the way.
Hijeh chun Joshua’n apateu mun lothei dinga hung kikhanlhit hochu achepmu atanpeh’u ahi. Ajeh chu amahohin gamtepgam ahinjotnauva hi achepmu ana kitan khaloulai ngen ahiuve.
8 Once they had all been circumcised, they stayed in the camp until they recovered.
Pasal jouse achepmu akitan jehchun amaho adamdoh kahsen ngahmunna chun ana kicholdou taovin ahi.
9 The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have removed from all of you the disgrace of Egypt.” So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.
Hichun Pakaiyin Joshua komma chun “Tunia hi Egypt gamma nasohchan nauva najumnao chu katolmangpeh’u ahitai,” ati. Hijeh a chu hiche mun chu tunichangeija Gilgal kitia ahitai.
10 The Israelites camped at Gilgal and celebrated Passover there on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month.
Israelten Gilgal munna ngahmun asemsungu lhamasa nisomle nili chan nilhahchun Jericho phaichamma kalchuh kut anamangun ahi.
11 From the very next day they began to eat produce from the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.
Hichejou ajing nikhotah chun agamsungsoh agamga cholsolou changlhah a kisemleh anchang kikang chu anapantauvin ahi.
12 On the same day when they began eating produce from the land there was no more manna. No longer did the Israelites have manna; after that they ate the produce of the land of Canaan.
Amahon agamsungsoh agamga aneh masat niuvapat chun Manna akimutapon, mujong akimukit mongmong tapon ahi.
13 One day when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or against us?” “Neither,” said the man. “I am the commander of the Lord's army. Now I'm here!”
Joshua chu Jericho khopi kom agalhun chun akhodah in chunglang agahvetleh akhutna chemjam kichoi mikhat amasanga adinchu amun ahi. Joshua chun ajonlutnin amapa chu ana dongin, “Nanghi eipanpi ding kagol nahim ahilouleh galmi nahim? ati.
14 Joshua fell down with his face to the ground in awe. Then he said, “What orders does my lord have for his servant?”
Amachun ahindonbutnin “Khatchachu kahipoi, keima Pakai sepaite lamkaija pang tuahi hungkon kahitai,” ati. Hichun Joshua chu tolla abohkhupmin achibeijin, “Ka Pakaiyin nalhacha keima hi ipi neibolsah got ham?” ati.
15 The commander of the Lord's army told Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you're standing is holy ground.” Joshua did so.
Pakai sepaite lamkai pachun adonbutnin, “Nakengkoh chu sutlhan ajeh chu nadinna chu muntheng ahi,” ati. Hichun Joshua’n aseibang chun aboltai.
