Joshua 8
1 After, the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Feare not, neither bee thou faint hearted: take all the men of warre with thee and arise, go vp to Ai: beholde, I haue giuen into thine hand the King of Ai, and his people, and his citie, and his land.
Joshua te BOEIPA loh, “Rhih boeh, rhihyawp boeh. Pilnam kah caemtloek boeih ke namah taengla lo lamtah Ai te paan hang laeh. Ai kah manghai neh a pilnam khaw, a khopuei neh a khohmuen khaw nang kut ah kan tloeng he so lah.
2 And thou shalt doe to Ai and to the King thereof, as thou didst vnto Iericho and to the King thereof: neuerthelesse the spoyle thereof and the cattell thereof shall ye take vnto you for a praye: thou shalt lye in wait against the citie on the backside thereof.
Te dongah Ai neh a manghai te Jerikho neh a manghai na saii bangla saii bal. A kutbuem neh a rhamsa te namamih ham poelyoe uh. Khopuei kah a hael ah namah kah rhongngol te khueh,” a ti nah.
3 Then Ioshua arose, and all the men of warre to goe vp against Ai: and Ioshua chose out thirtie thousand strong men, and valiant, and sent them away by night.
Te dongah Joshua neh caemtloek pilnam boeih loh Ai te tloek ham thoo uh. Te vaengah Joshua loh tatthai hlangrhalh hlang thawng sawmthum te a coelh tih khoyin ah a tueih.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, yee shall lye in waite against the citie on the backeside of the citie: goe not very farre from the citie, but be ye all in a readinesse.
Te phoeiah amih te a uen tih, “Khopuei hael ah khopuei aka rhongngol thil rhoek te nangmih loh so uh. Khopuei neh bahoeng lakhla uh boel lamtah hueltue la boeih om uh.
5 And I and all the people that are with me, will approche vnto the citie: and when they shall come out against vs, as they did at the first time, then will we flee before them.
Kamah khaw kamah taengkah pilnam boeih long khaw khopuei ke m'paan uh pawn ni. Lamhma kah bangla mamih aka mah ham ha moe uh atah amih mikhmuh ah n'rhaelrham uh ni.
6 For they wil come out after vs, till we haue brought them out of the citie: for they will say, They flee before vs as at the first time: so we will flee before them.
Te vaengah khopuei lamkah mamih n'cing duela mamih hnuk han hloem uh saeh lamtah amih mikhmuh kah n'rhaelrham uh vaengah lamhma kah vanbangla, 'Mamih mikhmuh lamkah loh rhaelrham uh coeng, 'ti uh saeh.
7 Then you shall rise vp from lying in waite and destroy the citie: for the Lord your God wil deliuer it into your hand.
Te vaengah nangmih loh rhongngol kung lamkah thoo uh lamtah khopuei te huul uh. BOEIPA na Pathen loh na kut dongah han tloeng bitni.
8 And when ye haue taken the citie, ye shall set it on fire: according to the commandement of the Lord shall ye do: behold, I haue charged you.
Ana om saeh, khopuei te na loh uh vaengah khopuei te hmai neh hlup uh. BOEIPA kah olka bangla saii uh, so lah, nangmih te kang uen coeng,” a ti nah.
9 Ioshua then sent them foorth, and they went to lye in waite, and abode betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of Ai: but Ioshua lodged that night among the people.
Te dongah Joshua kah a tueih rhoek te rhong la cet uh tih Ai khotlak kah Ai neh Bethel laklo ah ngol uh. Tedae tekah hlaem ah Joshua tah pilnam lakli ah rhaeh van.
10 And Ioshua rose vp early in the morning, and nombred the people: and he and the Elders of Israel went vp before the people against Ai.
Joshua khaw mincang ah thoo tih pilnam te a soep. Te phoeiah mah neh Israel a hamca rhoek tah Ai pilnam mikhmuh ah cet.
11 Also all the men of warre that were with him went vp and drewe neere, and came against the citie, and pitched on the Northside of Ai: and there was a valley betweene them and Ai.
Pilnam caemtloek boeih loh a taengah cet uh tih thoeih uh. Khopuei hmai a pha uh vaengah Ai tlangpuei kolrhawk laklo, laklo neh Ai laklo ah rhaeh uh.
12 And hee tooke about fiue thousande men, and set them to lye in waite betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of the citie.
Te phoeiah hlang thawng nga tluk a khuen tih khopuei khotlak Bethel neh Ai laklo ah amih te rhongngol la a khueh.
13 And the people set all the hoste that was on the Northside against the citie, and the liers in waite on the West, against the citie: and Ioshua went the same night into the mids of the valley.
Pilnam te khopuei tlangpuei rhaehhmuen boeih neh khopuei tuitun ah hnukdawn la tluep a khueh Joshua loh khoyin ah kol la cet.
14 And when the King of Ai sawe it, then the men of the citie hasted and rose vp earely, and went out against Israel to battell, hee and all his people at the time appointed, before the plaine: for he knew not that any lay in waite against him on the backeside of the citie.
Tedae Ai manghai loh a hmuh vaengah khopuei tongpa rhoek te baang thoo tih Israel mah ham caem la cet uh. A pilnam pum loh Arabah hmai kah tingtunnah ah om uh dae khopuei kah a hael ah a rhongngol thil te ming pawh.
15 Then Ioshua and all Israel as beaten before them, fled by the way of the wildernes.
Amih mikhmuh ah Joshua neh Israel pum loh kolong uh tih khosoek long la rhaelrham uh.
16 And all the people of the citie were called together, to pursue after them: and they pursued after Ioshua, and were drawen away out of the city,
Te dongah amih hloem ham Ai khopuei kah pilnam pum te a hueh tih Joshua hnuk a hloem uh dongah khopuei lamloh bang cing uh.
17 So that there was not a man left in Ai, nor in Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the citie open, and pursued after Israel.
Israel hnuk aka hloem mueh hlang te Ai neh Bethel ah om pawh. Khopuei te a ah oem la a hnoo uh tih Israel te a hloem uh.
18 Then the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Stretch out the speare that is in thine hande, towarde Ai: for I wil giue it into thine hand: and Ioshua stretched out the speare that hee had in his hand, toward the citie.
BOEIPA loh Joshua taengah, “Na kut dongkah soe neh Ai ke nuen lah, na kut dongah kan tloeng bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Joshua loh khopuei ke a kut dongkah soe neh a nuen.
19 And they that lay in wait, arose quickly out of their place, and ranne as soone as he had stretched out his hand, and they entred into the citie, and tooke it, and hasted, and set the citie on fire.
Te dongah rhongngol loh amah hmuen lamkah koe thoo tih a yong uh vaengah a kut te a phuel pah. Te vaengah khopuei la kun uh tih a buem uh. Khopuei te khaw hmai neh kuelh a hlup uh.
20 And the men of Ai looked behinde them, and sawe it: for loe, the smoke of the citie ascended vp to heauen, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: for the people that fled to the wildernesse, turned backe vpon the pursuers.
Ai kah hlang rhoek loh a hnuk la mael uh tih a hmuh uh vaengah khopuei kah hmaikhu loh vaan la tarha luei hang coeng. Tedae heben hebang la rhaelrham ham khaw a hmuen om voel pawt tih khosoek la aka rhaelrham pilnam long khaw a khuplet la han hloem coeng.
21 When Ioshua and all Israel sawe that they that lay in waite, had taken the citie, and that the smoke of the citie mounted vp, then they turned againe and slewe the men of Ai.
Rhongngol loh khopuei a buem tih khopuei kah hmaikhu a luei te Joshua neh Israel pum loh a hmuh vaengah Ai kah hlang rhoek te kuplet a tloek uh.
22 Also the other issued out of the citie against them: so were they in the middes of Israel, these being on the one side, and the rest on the other side: and they slewe them, so that they let none of them remaine nor escape.
Amih mah ham khopuei lamkah aka coe rhoek te khaw he ben he bang la Israel loh a laklung ah a om sakuh. Te dongah amih te amah taengah rhaengnaeng neh hlangyong paih mueh la a ngawn uh.
23 And the King of Ai they tooke aliue, and brought him to Ioshua.
Tedae Ai manghai te a hing la a tuuk uh tih Joshua taengla a khuen uh.
24 And when Israel had made an ende of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the fielde, that is, in the wildernesse, where they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sworde, vntill they were consumed, all the Israelites returned vnto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sworde.
Ai kah khosa boeih te Israel loh a ngawn tih a khah sak phoeiah te khosoek lohma kah te khaw a hloem uh tih cunghang ha neh boeih a cungku sakuh. Amih te a cing phoeiah Israel tah boeih mael uh tih Ai te cunghang ha neh a tloek uh.
25 And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Ai.
Tekah khohnin ah Ai kah hlang boeih tongpa lamloh huta hil thawng hlai nit la boeih cungku uh.
26 For Ioshua drewe not his hande backe againe which he had stretched out with the speare, vntill hee had vtterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Ai kah khosa rhoek te boeih a thup hlan khuiah Joshua loh a kut a yueh mueh la soe neh a nuen.
27 Onely the cattell and the spoyle of this citie, Israel tooke for a praye vnto themselues, according vnto the worde of the Lord, which hee commanded Ioshua.
Tedae khopuei kah rhamsa neh a kutbuem tah BOEIPA loh Joshua a uen olka vanbangla Israel loh amamih ham a poelyoe uh.
28 And Ioshua burnt Ai, and made it an heape for euer, and a wildernes vnto this day.
Te phoeiah Ai te Joshua loh a hoeh tih tihnin due, kumhal kah imrhong khopong la a khueh.
29 And the King of Ai hee hanged on a tree, vnto the euening. And as soone as the sunne was down, Ioshua commanded that they should take his carkeis downe from the tree, and cast it at the entring of ye gate of the city, and lay thereon a great heape of stones, that remaineth vnto this day.
Ai manghai te khaw kholaeh tue due thing dongah a kuiok sakuh. Khomik a tlak vaengah tah Joshua loh a uen vanbangla thing dongkah a rhok te a hlak uh tih khopuei vongka kah thohka ah a voeih uh. Anih sokah lungto, lungkuk khaw tihnin due lungkuk la muep ngang.
30 Then Ioshua built an altar vnto the Lord God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
Te vaengah Joshua loh Israel Pathen BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk te Ebal tlang ah a suem.
31 As Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, an altar of whole stone, ouer which no man had lift an yron: and they offered thereon burnt offrings vnto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh Israel ca rhoek a uen tih Moses kah olkhueng cabu dongah a daek vanbangla, hmueihtuk lung khaw a hmabuet la om tih thi hnonah pawh. Tekah soah BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah khaw a nawn uh tih rhoepnah hmueih khaw a nawn uh.
32 Also he wrote there vpon the stones, a rehearsall of the Lawe of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a daek Moses olkhueng te rhaepnit la lungto dongah pahoi a daek.
33 And all Israel (and their Elders, and officers and their iudges stoode on this side of the Arke, and on that side, before the Priestes of the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord) as well the stranger, as he that is borne in the countrey: halfe of them were ouer against mount Gerizim, and halfe of them ouer against mount Ebal, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should blesse the people of Israel.
Te vaengah Israel pum neh a hamca rhoek khaw, rhoiboei rhoek neh laitloek rhoek khaw BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt Levi khosoih rhoek hmaikah thingkawng khatben khatbang ah pai uh. Lamhma ah Israel pilnam yoethen paek ham BOEIPA kah sal Moses a uen vanbangla Yinlai neh tolrhum mupoe loh Gerizim tlang hmai ah hlangvang, Ebal tlang hmai ah hlangvang omuh.
34 Then afterwarde hee read all the wordes of the Lawe, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the booke of the Lawe.
Te phoeiah olkhueng cabu khui ah boeih a daek vanbangla yoethennah neh rhunkhuennah olkhueng ol te boeih a hoe.
35 There was not a worde of all that Moses had commanded, which Ioshua read not before all the Congregation of Israel, as well before the women and the children, as the stranger that was conuersant among them.
Moses kah a uen olka dongah aka om pawt boeih te tah Joshua loh Israel hlangping pum neh huta camoe taengah khaw, amih lakli ah aka pongpa yinlai taengah khaw hoe van pawh.
