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.
Hahoi BAWIPA ni nang ni taket hanh. Na lungpout hanh, nang koe kaawm e ransanaw abuemlah kaw nateh, thaw nateh Ai kho lah cet haw. Ai siangpahrang hoi ahnie taminaw ahnie khopui, ahnie talai, nange na kut dawk na poe han.
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.
Jeriko khopui hoi siangpahrangnaw e lathueng na sak awh e patetlah Ai kho hoi siangpahrangnaw e lathueng hai na sak awh han. Hatei teh na lawp awh e hno, saringnaw hah namamouh hanelah na la awh han. Khopui e hnukkhu lah ramveng hah na ta awh han telah Joshua koe a dei pouh.
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.
Joshua hoi ransanaw abuemlah ni Ai kho tuk hanelah a kamthaw awh. Joshua ni athakaawme ransanaw 30,000 touh a rawi teh, karumsaning vah a patoun.
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.
Nangmouh ni hote kho tuk hanelah abuemlahoi coungkacoe awm awh. Khopui hoi kahlatlah cet awh hanh. Lungkânging lahoi kâhruetcuetcalah awm awh.
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.
Kai hoi rei kaawm e abuemlah ni khopui rek ka hnai awh han. Taminaw ni ahmoun e patetlah na tuk awh hanelah a tâco awh toteh, maimouh ni ahnimae hmalah yawng awh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni hai na pâlei awh nahanelah khopui thung hoi tâcawt awh vaiteh, khopui hoi a kâhla awh e hah panuek awh hoeh vaiteh, na pâlei awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahmoun e patetlah maimae hmalah a yawng awh toe ati awh han.
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.
Hahoi nangmouh ni taran ring na laihoi hmuen alouklouk hoi na thaw awh vaiteh, khopui na tuk awh pawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA ni nangmae kut dawk na poe awh han.
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.
Na tuk teh, na tâ awh torei hmai na sawi awh han. BAWIPA ni kâ na poe e patetlah na sak awh han telah kai ni bout ka dei telah ahnimanaw koe lawk na thui.
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.
Joshua ni a patoun e patetlah ahnimouh ni taran a ring awh teh, Bethel kho hoi Ai kho a rahak dawk Ai khopui hnukkhu lah ao awh. Joshua teh hote karum vah ahnimouh koe ao.
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.
Amon vah a thaw teh, taminaw hah a parei hnukkhu, Isarel miphun kacuenaw hoi cungtalah Ai kho hmaloe a cei sin awh.
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.
Joshua e ransanaw abuemlah ni a pâlei awh teh, khopui teng a pha awh torei teh, kho e atunglah rim a sak awh. Ahnimouh hoi khopui a rahak ravo buet touh ao.
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.
Hahoi Ai kho a hnukkhu, Bethel khopui a rahak dawk taran ring sak hanelah, tami 24,000 touh hane a ta.
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.
Hottelah khopui koe lahoi Ransanaw a pawp sak teh, hnukkhu lahoi hai taran koung a ring sak teh, Joshua ni hote karum vah, ravo lungui ao.
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.
Hote hnonaw hah Ai siangpahrang ni a hmu navah kho thung tongpanaw pueng teh, karanglah kârakueng awh leih, Siangpahrang teh, tami abuemlah hoi Isarel miphunnaw tuk hanelah, kâdawk e atueng dawk, hmuen tanghling koe a cei awh. Kho e hnukkhu lah ramveng ao tie hah panuek awh hoeh.
15 Then Ioshua and all Israel as beaten before them, fled by the way of the wildernes.
Joshua hoi Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah ni ka sung e patetlah kâsak awh teh, kahrawng lah a yawng awh.
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,
Ahnimanaw pâlei hanelah, Ai siangpahrang ni kho thung kaawm e tongpanaw pueng hah a kaw teh, Joshua a pâlei awh. Kho hoi a kâhla toe tie panuek laipalah hoehoe a pâlei awh.
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.
Isarel miphunnaw ka pâlei hoeh e Ai hoi Bethel kho thung vah, tongpa buet touh hai awm hoeh. Kho teh a aw lah a ceitakhai teh, Isarel miphunnaw hah a pâlei awh.
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.
BAWIPA ni nang ni na patuep e tahroe hah Ai kho koe lah nue haw, hote kho teh nange kut dawk na poe han atipouh e patetlah, Joshua ni a patuep e tahroe teh hote kho koe lah a nue.
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.
A nue navah ramvengnaw ni tang a thaw awh teh, karanglah a yawng awh, khothung a kâen awh teh hmai a sawi awh.
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 khonaw ni hnuklah a khet navah kho thung ka kang e hmaikhu teh, kalvan lah a luen e a hmu awh navah, na lahai yawng hane awm hoeh toe. Kahrawng lah ka yawng e taminaw hai ka pâlei e naw ni bout a tuk awh.
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.
Ramvengnaw ni kho thung e hmaikhu ka luen e hah Joshua hoi Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah ni a hmu navah, bout a ban awh teh, Ai khonaw a thei awh.
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.
Alouke taminaw ni kho thung hoi a tâco awh teh, khikpacu laihoi a tuk awh dawkvah, Ai kho e taminaw hah buet touh hai pâhma laipalah a thei awh.
23 And the King of Ai they tooke aliue, and brought him to Ioshua.
Ai siangpahrang hah a hring lah a man awh teh, Joshua koe a hrawi awh.
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.
Isarel miphunnaw ni tanghling dawk kaawm e naw, kahrawngum kaawm e naw, Ai miphunnaw abuemlah tahloi hoi koung a tâtueng awh hnukkhu, kho thung bout a kâen awh teh, tahloi hoi a thei awh.
25 And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Ai.
Hot hnin vah, Ai kho e tami tongpa napui 12,000 touh hane a due awh.
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 kho thung e tami pueng abuemlah be a raphoe awh hoehroukrak Joshua ni tahroe a nue e kut teh hno hoeh.
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.
Hateiteh, BAWIPA Cathut ni Joshua koe lawk a thui e patetlah saringnaw hoi, kut hoi a hmu awh e hnonaw hah Isarel miphunnaw ni amamouh hane a kuem awh.
28 And Ioshua burnt Ai, and made it an heape for euer, and a wildernes vnto this day.
Joshua ni Ai kho hmai a sawi teh, sahnin totouh, raphoe e songnawng lah ao awh.
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 siangpahrang teh, tangduem totouh, thing dawk a bang awh teh, khohmo torei Joshua ni lawk a ceng e patetlah, a ro teh thing dawk e a la awh teh, kho longkha koe a tâkhawng awh. A ro e van vah talungnaw a racawt sin awh. Hote talung a racawt awh e teh, sahnin totouh ao.
30 Then Ioshua built an altar vnto the Lord God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
Hahoi Joshua ni Ebal mon dawk Isarel miphunnaw e BAWIPA Cathut hanelah thuengnae khoungroe a sak awh.
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.
BAWIPA e san Mosi ni Isarel miphunnaw hah lawk a thui e teh, Mosi e kâlawk cauk dawk thut e patetlah sum hoi sak e hnopai hno mahoeh. A hoeh rae talungnaw hoi thuengnae khoungroe na sak vaiteh, BAWIPA hanelah, hmaisawi thuengnae sathei, roum thuengnae satheinaw hoi a bawk awh.
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.
Joshua ni hote talung dawkvah Mosi e kâlawk phung hah Isarelnaw e a hmalah bout a thut.
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.
Isarel miphunnaw yawhawi poe han a ngai dawkvah BAWIPA e san Mosi ni lawk a thui e patetlah Isarel miphunnaw, kacuenaw, ukkungnaw, lawkcengkungnaw, vaihmanaw, Levihnaw ni a hrawm awh e BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong, avoivang lah a kangdue awh teh, miphun katang hoi, ramlouk e taminaw khuehoi, Gerizim mon dawk tami tangawn, Ebal mon dawk tangawn ao awh.
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.
Kâlawk cauk dawk thut e patetlah yawhawinae lawk hoi, thoebonae lawknaw pueng hah a touk pouh.
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.
Joshua ni Mosi e lawk thui e pueng lawklung buet touh hai pâhma hoeh. Napui camo ramlouk e khuehoi, Isarel miphunnaw rangpuinaw hmalah koung a touk pouh.
