Joshua 4
1 And when all the people were wholy gone ouer Iorden, (after the Lord had spoken vnto Ioshua, saying,
Mipiho chu Jordan agalkai sohhel phatnun, Pakaiyin Joshua komma chun thu ahinseije,
2 Take you twelue me out of the people, out of euery tribe a man,
“Tun phungtinna kon in pasal somleni lhengdoh’in lang,
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 vadung lailung nadinnauva kon in song somleni hinchoidoh’un, hichu choijunlang tunilhah’a nagenadiu munnachun sekhommun,” ati.
4 Then Ioshua called the twelue men, whome he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery tribe a man,
Hitichun Joshua’n Israel phungtinna konna alhendoh somleni hochu akoukhom’in,
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,
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 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?
Eihon hiche song hohi melchihna khatna imandiu ahi. Khonungteng leh nachateuvin hiche songhi ipi vetsahna ham tia ahindoh tenguleh,
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.
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 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.
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 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’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 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.
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 When all the people were cleane passed ouer, the Arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the Priests before the people.
Mipiho jouse chu bitkeija agalkai sohkei phatnun Pakai thingkong puho jongchu mipiho mitmu changtah chun agalkaijun ahi.
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.
Galmanchah kichoi Reuben leh Gad phungmi holeh Manasseh phung akehkhatnin Mose thupeh bangin Israelte chu alamkaijun Jordan agalkai masauvin ahi.
13 Euen fourty thousand prepared for warre, went before the Lord vnto battel, into ye plaine of Iericho.
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 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.
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 the Lord spake vnto Ioshua, saying,
Pakaiyin Joshua kommachun hitin anaseije,
16 Commande the Priests that beare ye Arke of the testimonie, to come vp out of Iorden.
“Vadung tolhgo laiya konchun Pakai kitepna thingkongpu hochu hungdoh dingin thu pen,” ati.
17 Ioshua therefore commanded the Priests, saying, Come ye vp out of Iorden.
Hitichun Joshua’n jong thupeh chu agah neitan ahi.
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.
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 So the people came vp out of Iorden the tenth day of the first moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, in the Eastside of Iericho.
Mipichun lhamasa nisom channi chun Jordan chu ahung galkaijun Jericho solam Gilgal munna chun ngahmun asemmun ahi.
20 Also the twelue stones, which they tooke out of Iorden, did Ioshua pitch in Gilgal.
Joshua’n Jordan vadunga konna song somleni ahinlah chu hiche Gilgal munnahin alomchang’in asekhommin ahi.
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?
Hichun Joshua’n Israelte kommachun aseijin, “Khonungleh nachateuvin hichehi ipi vetsahna ham tia nahindoh tenguleh,
22 Then ye shall shew your children, and say, Israel came ouer this Iorden on dry land:
Hiteng chuleh nanghon hiche laiya hi Israel chaten Jordan tolgo laiya ahung galkaina munnu chu ahi tia nadonbutdiu ahi,
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,
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 worlde may know that the hand of the Lord is mightie, that ye might feare the Lord your God continually.
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.
