< Joshua 4 >

1 And when all the people were wholy gone ouer Iorden, (after the Lord had spoken vnto Ioshua, saying,
Jordan aka kat namtom boeih loh a soep la a om van vaeng daengah Joshua te BOEIPA loh a voek tih,
2 Take you twelue me out of the people, out of euery tribe a man,
“Pilnam lamkah te namamih ham hlang hlai nit tuek laeh. Koca khat lamloh hlang pakhat, hlang pakhat saeh.
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)
Te phoeiah amih te uen lamtah thui pah. Jordan tuilung, rhaltawt hmuen kah khosoih kho a pai nah lungto hlai nit he namamih ham phuei uh. Te te namamih taengah kat puei lamtah khoyin kah na rhaeh nah rhaehim ah khueh uh,” a ti nah.
4 Then Ioshua called the twelue men, whome he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery tribe a man,
Te dongah Joshua loh hlang hlai nit te a khue. Te te koca pakhat lamkah hlang pakhat, hlang pakhat te Israel ca khui lamloh a hmoel.
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,
Te phoeiah amih te Joshua loh, “BOEIPA na Pathen kah thingkawng hmai ah Jordan tuilung la kat uh lamtah Israel ca rhoek kah koca aka om tarhing loh a laengpang dongah lungto pakhat pakhat rhip kawt uh.
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?
Te daengah ni miknoek he nangmih khui ah a om eh. Thangvuen ah na ca rhoek loh nangmih te n'dawt tih, 'Hekah lungto he bahamlae,’ a ti ni.
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.
Te vaengah amih taengah, “Jordan lan ham vaengah BOEIPA paipi thingkawng hmai ah Jordan tui kak coeng. Jordan tui a kak coeng dongah hekah he Israel ca rhoek taengah poekkoepnah lungto la kumhal duela om saeh ti nah,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Joshua loh a uen vanbangla Israel ca rhoek loh a saii uh. BOEIPA loh Joshua taengkah a thui bangla Jordan tuilung lamkah lungto hlai nit te Israel ca rhoek kah koca tarhing la a koh uh tih rhaehim te a paan puei phoeiah a khueh uh.
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.
Te dongah paipi thingkawng aka kawt khosoih kho kah rhaltawt hmuen, Jordan tuilung ah Joshua loh lungto hlai nit a ling tih tihnin due om pueng.
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.
Pilnam taengah Joshua loh thui hamla BOEIPA loh a uen hno te Joshua taengah Moses loh boeih a uen vanbangla boeih a coeng due thingkawng aka kawt khosoih rhoek khaw Jordan tuilung ah pai uh. Te vaengah pilnam long khaw baang kat uh van.
11 When all the people were cleane passed ouer, the Arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the Priests before the people.
Aka kat ham koi pilnam loh boeih a soep van neh BOEIPA thingkawng neh khosoih rhoek khaw pilnam kah mikhmuh ah kat phai van.
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.
Reuben koca rhoek, Gad koca rhoek neh Manasseh koca hlangvang te tah Moses kah a thui bangla Israel ca rhoek kah a mikhmuh ah caem la cet uh.
13 Euen fourty thousand prepared for warre, went before the Lord vnto battel, into ye plaine of Iericho.
Jerikho kolken ah caemtloek ham thawng sawmli tluk loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pumcum uh tih caempuei la khoong uh.
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.
Te khohnin ah BOEIPA loh Joshua te Israel pum kah mikhmuh ah a pomsang tih a hing tue khuiah Moses a rhih uh bangla anih khaw a rhih uh.
15 And the Lord spake vnto Ioshua, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Joshua te a voek tih,
16 Commande the Priests that beare ye Arke of the testimonie, to come vp out of Iorden.
“Olphong thingkawng aka kawt khosoih rhoek te uen lamtah Jordan lamkah ha luei uh saeh,” a ti nah.
17 Ioshua therefore commanded the Priests, saying, Come ye vp out of Iorden.
Te dongah Joshua loh khosoih rhoek te a uen tih, “Jordan lamloh ha luei uh laeh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt khosoih rhoek loh Jordan tuilung lamkah ha luei la ha luei uh. Tedae khosoih rhoek kah a khopha loh lanhak la a cawt van neh Jordan tui khaw amah hmuen la bal tih hlaem hlavai kah bangla tuikaeng tom ah khawk li.
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.
Te dongah pilnam loh Jordan lamkah ha luei uh tih a hla khat dongkah a hnin rha vaengah tah Jerikho khocuk rhi kah Gilgal ah rhaeh uh.
20 Also the twelue stones, which they tooke out of Iorden, did Ioshua pitch in Gilgal.
Te vaengah Jordan lamkah a khuen uh lungto hlai nit te Joshua loh Gilgal ah a ling.
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?
Israel ca rhoek te khaw a voek tih, “Thangvuen ah na ca rhoek loh a napa rhoek te a dawt uh tih, 'Hekah lungto he bahamlae?,” a ti uh vaengah,
22 Then ye shall shew your children, and say, Israel came ouer this Iorden on dry land:
na ca rhoek te khaw tukkil uh lamtah, “Jordan he Israel loh laiphuei longah a lan ti nah.
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,
Na Pathen BOEIPA loh carhaek tuipuei kah a saii bangla na poeng hil na mikhmuh kah Jordan tui te na Pathen BOEIPA loh a kak sak. Te te mamih loh m'poeng hil mamih mikhmuh ah a rhae sak.
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.
BOEIPA kah tlungluen kut te diklai pilnam rhoek loh boeih ming uh kangna saeh. Te daengah ni na hing tue khui boeih ah BOEIPA na Pathen te na rhih eh?,” a ti nah.
