< Joshua 4 >

1 And when all the people were wholy gone ouer Iorden, (after the Lord had spoken vnto Ioshua, saying,
Kaminawk boih Jordan vapui angkat o pacoengah, Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah,
2 Take you twelue me out of the people, out of euery tribe a man,
kaminawk salak hoi kami hatlai hnetto, acaeng maeto thung hoi kami maeto qoih pacoengah,
3 And command you them, saying, Take you hence out of the middes of Iorden, out of the place where the Priestes stoode in a readinesse, twelue stones, which ye shall take away with you, and leaue them in the lodging where you shall lodge this night)
Jordan vapui um qaimanawk angdoethaih ahmuen ih, thlung hatlai hnetto to la oh loe apu oh; vaiqum na iih o haih ahmuen ah to thlungnawk to suem oh, tiah a naa.
4 Then Ioshua called the twelue men, whome he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery tribe a man,
To pongah Joshua mah Israel kaminawk ih acaeng maeto thung hoiah kami maeto kawk moe,
5 And Ioshua said vnto them, Go ouer before the Arke of the Lord your God, euen through the middes of Iorden, and take vp euery man of you a stone vpon his shoulder according vnto the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel,
nihcae khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw thingkhong ih ahmaa, Jordan vapui um ah caeh oh loe, Israel acaeng zetto ah kami maeto mah thlung maeto apu oh;
6 That this may bee a signe among you, that whe your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, saying, What meane you by these stones?
to thlung loe nangcae salakah angmathaih ah om tih; hmabang ah na caanawk mah, Hae thlung loe tih thuikoehhaih ih aa? tiah na dueng o nahaeloe,
7 Then ye may answere them, That the waters of Iorden were cut off before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord: for when it passed through Iorden, the waters of Iorden were cut off: therefore these stones are a memoriall vnto the children of Israel for euer.
nangcae mah nihcae khaeah, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong Jordan vapui angkat naah, a hmaa ah Jordan vapui tui to apet; Jordan vapui apet ving pongah, hae loe Israel kaminawk hanah dungzan panoek poehaih thlung ah om tih, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
8 Then ye children of Israel did euen so as Ioshua had commanded, and tooke vp twelue stones out of the mids of Iorden as ye Lord had said vnto Ioshua, according to the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel, and caried them away with them vnto the lodging, and layd them down there.
Joshua mah paek ih lok baktih toengah Israel kaminawk mah sak o; Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Israel acaengnawk zetto ah, Jordan vapui um ah thlung hatlai hnetto akhuih o; to thlung to angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah sinh o moe, to ah a suek o.
9 And Ioshua set vp twelue stones in the middes of Iorden, in the place where the feete of the Priests, which bare the Arke of the couenant stood, and there haue they continued vnto this day.
Joshua mah lokkamhaih thingkhong apu qaimanawk angdoethaih ahmuen Jordan vapui um ah, thlung hatlai hnetto a tlingh; to thlung loe vaihni ni khoek to oh.
10 So the Priests, which bare ye Arke, stoode in the middes of Iorden, vntill euery thing was finished that ye Lord had comanded Ioshua to say vnto the people, according to all that Moses charged Ioshua: then the people hasted and went ouer.
Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah paek ih lok baktih, Mosi mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kaminawk mah sah o boih ai karoek to, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu qaimanawk loe Jordan vapui um ah angdoet o, to naah kaminawk loe karangah angkat o.
11 When all the people were cleane passed ouer, the Arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the Priests before the people.
Kaminawk angkat o boih pacoengah, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong hoi qaimanawk loe, kaminawk mikhnuk ah nawnto angkat o.
12 And the sonnes of Reuben, and the sonnes of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh went ouer before the children of Israel armed, as Moses had charged them.
Mosi mah nihcae khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manasseh acaengnawk loe, maiphaw maica to sin o moe, Israel kaminawk hmaa ah angkat o.
13 Euen fourty thousand prepared for warre, went before the Lord vnto battel, into ye plaine of Iericho.
To tiah misatuk han caeh kaminawk loe, kami sang quipalito oh o moe, misatuk han Angraeng hmaa ah Jeriko azawn bangah angkat o.
14 That day the Lord magnified Ioshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses all dayes of his life.
To na niah Israel kaminawk mikhnuk ah Angraeng mah Joshua to tapom tahang; nihcae mah Mosi zit o baktih toengah, hing thung Joshua doeh a zit o.
15 And the Lord spake vnto Ioshua, saying,
To naah Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah,
16 Commande the Priests that beare ye Arke of the testimonie, to come vp out of Iorden.
hnukung ah kaom thingkhong apu qaimanawk to, Jordan vapui hoi angzoh tahang han lokpaek ah, tiah a naa.
17 Ioshua therefore commanded the Priests, saying, Come ye vp out of Iorden.
To pongah Joshua mah qaimanawk khaeah, Jordan vapui thung hoi angzo o tahang ah, tiah a naa.
18 And when the Priests that bare the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord were come vp out of the middes of Iorden, and assoone as the soles of the Priests feete were set on the dry land, the waters of Iorde returned vnto their place, and flowed ouer all the bankes thereof, as they did before.
Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu qaimanawk vapui thung hoi angzoh o tahang moe, tuicing to khok hoi a cawh o naah, Jordan vapui to angmah ih ahmuen ah amlaem let moe, canghni ah longh baktiah a longh let.
19 So the people came vp out of Iorden the tenth day of the first moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, in the Eastside of Iericho.
Khrah tangsuek ni hatlai hnetto naah, Jeriko ni angyae bang ramri ah kaom, Gilgal ah atai o.
20 Also the twelue stones, which they tooke out of Iorden, did Ioshua pitch in Gilgal.
To naah Jordan vapui thung hoi akhuih o ih thlung hatlai hnetto to, Joshua mah Gilgal ah tlingh.
21 And he spake vnto ye childre of Israel, saying, When your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, and say, What meane these stones?
Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Israel kaminawk khaeah, Hmabang ah na caanawk mah ampanawk khaeah, Hae ih thlungnawk loe tih thuikoehhaih ih aa? tiah dueng o nahaeloe,
22 Then ye shall shew your children, and say, Israel came ouer this Iorden on dry land:
Israel kaminawk loe hae Jordan vapui hae saoeng ah caeh baktih toengah angkat o, tiah thui pae oh.
23 For the Lord your God dryed vp ye waters of Iorden before you, vntill ye were gone ouer, as the Lord your God did the red Sea, which hee dryed vp before vs, till we were gone ouer,
Aicae mah tuipui kathim angkat o boih ai karoek to, na Angraeng Sithaw mah aicae hmaa ah tuipui kathim tui to kaangsak baktih toengah, Jordan vapui nang kat o boih ai karoek to, na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae hmaa ah Jordan vapui tui to kaangsak.
24 That all the people of the worlde may know that the hand of the Lord is mightie, that ye might feare the Lord your God continually.
Angraeng ih ban loe thacak, tiah long kaminawk boih mah panoek o moe, na Angraeng Sithaw to dungzan khoek to na zit o thai han ih ni, hae tiah a sak, tiah a naa.
