< Joshua 6 >
1 Jericho's gates were shut and barred because of the Israelites. Nobody was allowed in or out.
Tun Jericho mipite chun Israelte chu akichat jeh’un akhopiu kelkot chu akam chahkheh jengun ahi. Mi koimacha avadohsah pouvin lutjong alutsah pouvin ahi.
2 But the Lord told Joshua, “I'm handing over the city of Jericho to you, along with its king and its army of warriors.
Ahinlah Pakaiyin Joshua kommah, “Hiche khopi leh alengpau chuleh asepaiteu jouse jong nakhutna kapehdoh ahitai.
3 March around the city with your armed men once a day for six days.
Nangleh nasepai chengsetoh nigup sunga hi nisehleh khopihi khatvei naveldiu ahi.
4 Seven priests are to go ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram's horn. On the seventh day, march seven times around the city, with the priests blowing their rams' horns.
Thingkong masanga hi thempu sagi in kelchalki khatcheh akichoijuva kijotdiu ahi. Ni sagi channileh nanghon hiche khopihi sagivei naveldiu ahi.
5 When you hear a long blast on the rams' horns, everyone shall give a really loud shout. The city walls will collapse, and every man can go right in.”
Thempuhon kelchalki ho chu ahinmut mutnuleh mipiten na-o neichasun sunnuva sangtah'a nasapdiu ahi. Hiteng chuleh khopi kulpi chu chimlhading, hiteng chuleh mipiho chu khopi sunga chu nalhailutnuva nadelkhum jengdiu ahi,” ati.
6 So Joshua, son of Nun, sent for the priests, and told them, “Pick up the Ark of Agreement, and have seven priests carry seven rams' horns and go ahead of the Ark of the Lord.”
Hitichun Joshua in thempuho chu akoukhommin hiti hin aseipeh tai, “Pakai kitepna thingkong chu puuvinlang, thempu sagi chun kelchalki kichoi cheh’unlang mipi masanga khun kijotnun” ati.
7 Then he told the people, “Move out! March around the city with the armed men up front ahead of the Ark of the Lord!”
Hijouchun aman mipiho chu thu apen, “Khopi vella chun kijotnun, galmanchah kichoi chengse chu Pakai thingkong masanga cheuhenlang mipichu lamkai juhen,” ati.
8 When Joshua finished speaking to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven rams' horns in the presence of the Lord started out, blowing the horns, with the Ark following behind.
Joshua’n mipiho komma thu anaseijouchun Thempu sagiho chun pengkul akichoi cheh’un Pakai masanga chun akijotnun pengkul ho chu amutnun ahi. Chuleh Pakai kitepna thingkong chu ajuijun ahi.
9 Some of the armed men marched ahead of the priests blowing the horns, while some followed the Ark, the horns being blown continually.
Galmanchah kichoi phabep chu pengkul kichoi thempuho masanga akijotnun, loikhatchu thingkong nunglanga akijotnun, thempuho chun pengkul chu amutjom jingun ahi.
10 However, Joshua ordered them, “Don't shout, don't even talk. Don't say anything until I tell you all to shout—then shout!”
Joshua’n thu ahinpen, “Koimachan kholhang samhih’un, paojong paopoh hih’un, keiman sammun kati tokah’in thu chengkhatcha jong nakammuva kon in gindohsah hih’un,” ati.
11 So the Ark of the Lord was carried around the city, circling it once. Then they returned to the camp and spent the night there.
Hitichun Pakai thingkong chu apuuvin hiche nikho chun khatvei khopi chu avellun, chujouvin abonchauvin ngahmun chu ajonnun agageh’un ahi.
12 Joshua got up early in the morning, and the priests picked up the Ark of the Lord.
Ajingin Joshua chu jingkah matah’in akipatdoh’in ahileh thempuho jongchun Pakai thingkong chu apukitnun ahi.
13 The seven priests with the seven rams' horns went ahead of the Ark of the Lord, blowing the horns. The armed men went before them and behind the Ark of the Lord, the horns being blown continually.
Thempu sagi hochun pengkul chu akichoi cheh’un Pakai thingkong masanga chun akijotnun, pengkul chu amutnun ahi. Avellin, galmanchah kichoi hochu pengkul kichoi thempu ho masangleh Pakai thingkong puho nung’ah akijotnun ahi. Hiche sungse hin thempuho chun pengkul chu amut mutjingun ahi.
14 So on the second day they marched around the city, circling it once, and returned to the camp. They did this for a total of six days.
Anini channa’in jong amahon khopi chu avelkitnun chujouvin ngahmunna ahung kile kitnun ahi. Hitobang hin nigup sungse chun abollun ahi.
15 On the seventh day they got up at dawn and marched around the city in the usual way, except that this day they circled the city seven times.
Ni sagi channa’in Israelte chu khovahlhah’in akipatdoh’un tumasanga abol bang bangun khopi chu avel kitnun ahi. Ahin tuchung ahin khopi chu sagivei avellun ahi.
16 The seventh time around when the priests blew the horns, Joshua told the people, “Shout! For today the Lord has given the city to you!
Sagivei aveljouvun thempuhon pengkul thongjen junnin ahin mutphat uchun Joshua’n mipiho chu thu ahinpen, “Kholhang sammun! Pakaiyin hiche khopi hi nepeh’u ahitai!
17 The city and everything in it is to be set apart for the Lord and destroyed. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent.
Jericho khopi leh asunga umjouse hi Pakaiyin asuhmang sohkei ding ahitai: Rahab kijohnu leh ainsung mite jouse chu kihing hoiding ahi, ajeh chu amanun gamvelhi’a kibol hochu ana hoidoh sah’in ahi.
18 But stay away from everything set apart for the Lord, for if you were to take anything you too would be liable to be destroyed, and you would also bring disaster on the camp of Israel.
Suhmang dinga um thilho chu khatcha suloh hihbeh’un, achutilouleh nangho jong nakisuhmang tha dingu ahi, chuleh Israel ngahmunna hi hamsetna nahin lhutkhumlo diu ahi.
19 All the silver and the gold, and everything made of bronze and iron, are holy to the Lord and they must be placed in the Lord's treasury.”
Amavang dangka le sana, chule thih le sum-eng’a kisem thilho chu Pakaija atheng ahin hicheho chu Pakai sumkholna a lutding ahi,” tin thupeh ana neitai.
20 So as soon as they heard the sound of the horns, the people gave a loud shout, and the city walls collapsed. The men went in right away and captured the city.
Mipiho chun pengkul kimutgin chu ajahphatnun a-ou neichasunnun asammun ahileh Jericho kulpi chu achimlha jengin ahi. Hiche phat chun Israelten khopi sungchu anokhummun alatauve.
21 They destroyed everything in the city: men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, and donkeys, all were killed by the sword.
Amahon khopi sunga umho jouse, numei pasal, ateh akhang, bong, kelngoi, kelcha chuleh sangan abonchan asumang sohkeijun ahi.
22 Joshua had told the two men who had gone to explore the land, “Go to the house of Rahab the prostitute and bring her out together with all her family, as you promised.”
Hichun Joshua’n gamvelhia cheteni komma chun, nakitepna lhon dungjuijin akijohnu innachun lutlhonnin lang amanu le ainsung mite jouse chu gapuidoh lhonnin ati.
23 So the spies went and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, and all who were with her. They brought out the whole family and took them to a place near the Israelite camp.
Gamvelhia cheteni chu achelut lhonnin Rahab chu amatoh umkhom apale anu, asopiho le aisungmite jouse chutoh agapuidoh lhonnin ahi.
24 Then the Israelites burned down the city and everything in it, except for the silver and the gold, and everything made of bronze and iron, which they placed in the treasury of the Lord's house.
Hijouchun, Israelten khopi chu asunga umjouse toh ahallhauvin asumanghel tauvin ahi. Ahin sumle sana, chule sum-eng le thih-a kisem thilho vang chu Pakai sumkholna munnah akoijun ahi.
25 Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her family because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. And she lives among the Israelites to this day.
Hitichun Joshua’n Rahab kijohnu chu insunga aumkhopi ainsung mite jouse toh ahuhdoh’in ahi, ajeh chu aman Jericho velhi dinga asolteni chu anaseldoh’a ana hoidohsah lhon ahi.
26 At that time Joshua declared a curse, saying: “Cursed before the Lord is anyone who attempts to rebuild this city of Jericho. He lays its foundation at the cost of his firstborn son; he sets up its gates at the cost of his youngest son.”
Hichun, Joshua’n Jericho khopi chu anagaosap’in, “Koi hileh hiche Jericho khopi sapha go chanchu Pakai sapset changhen, tungdohgoa chu acha masapen’in loulo hen, akelkot tungdohgoa chu achapa lhumpen chaanlo hen,” ati.
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
Hitichun Pakaiyin Joshua chu anaumpin hijeh chun gamsung pumpia chun amin ana kithanglheh jeng tan ahi.
