Joshua 2
1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two spies secretly, saying: 'Go view the land, and Jericho.' And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there.
Nun e capa Joshua ni Shittim khopui koehoi tuet hanelah arulah hoi tami kahni touh a patoun. Kanaan ram Jeriko khopui lah cet awh nateh, khenhaw atipouh e patetlah ahnimouh roi ni a cei roi teh, ka kâyawt e Rahab im a kâen roi teh, hawvah ao roi.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying: 'Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land.'
Kho thung e tami tangawn ni hai hote ram heh tanouk hanelah Isarel miphun tangawn ni paduem tangmin lah khopui thung kâen awh toe ati awh teh, Jeriko siangpahrangnaw a thaisak toung dawkvah,
3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying: 'Bring forth the men that are come to thee, that are entered into thy house; for they are come to search out all the land.'
Jeriko siangpahrang ni Rahab koe na im ka tho ni teh kaluennaw hah tâcawt sak. Ahnimanaw teh khopui thung tanouk hanelah a tho awh toe telah kâ a poe awh.
4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said: 'Yea, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were;
Rahab ni hote tami roi hah a kâhro sak teh, kai koe tami a tho bokheiyah. Hatei nâhoi maw a tho tie teh ka panuek hoeh.
5 and it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; whither the men went I know not; pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.'
Kho hmo longkha khan tawmlei nah ahnimouh roi teh a tâco roi toe. Nâ lah maw a cei roi tie ka panuek hoeh toe. Karang lah pâlei awh. Na pha awh han doeh atipouh.
6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had spread out upon the roof.
Telah a dei eiteh hotnaw hah im van a luen sak teh lemphu vah a hro toe.
7 And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan unto the fords; and as soon as they that pursued after them were gone out, the gate was shut.
Thoundounnaw ni Jordan palang rakanae lam koe lah a pâlei awh. Khopui alawilah a pha hoiyah khopui longkhanaw pueng koung a khan awh.
8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
A hro e naw a i hoehnahlan, napui teh ahnimanaw a onae lemphu vah a luen teh,
9 and she said unto the men: 'I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmanaw hete ram na poe toe tie hah nangmouh koe kaimouh ni pueng hoi ka tâsue awh teh, nangmouh kecu dawk ram thung e tami pueng a lungro awh toe tie kai ni ka panue.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Nangmouh teh Izip ram hoi na tâco awh navah, Edom tuipui BAWIPA Cathut ni a hak sak tie hai thoseh, Jordan palang namran kaawm e pueng na raphoe awh teh, Amor siangpahrang, Sihon hoi Og dawkvah nangmouh ni hno na sak e pueng hai thoseh kaimouh ni ka thai awh toe.
11 And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you; for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
Hote kamthang ka thai awh navah, kaimouh teh, nangmouh kecu dawk tami buet touh dawk hai taranhawinae awm hoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut teh, a Lathueng Poung e BAWIPA Cathut lah ao.
12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye also will deal kindly with my father's house — and give me a true token —
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh dawk sannu ni hawinae ka sak e dawkvah, nangmouh ni hai rei ka tâcawt e kaimouh dawk hai hawinae sak awh nateh,
13 and save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.'

14 And the men said unto her: 'Our life for yours, if ye tell not this our business; and it shall be, when the LORD giveth us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.'
Ahnimanaw ni hai nang ni kaimouh hoi sak hane na kamnuek sak hoehpawiteh, nang na hring na hanelah kaimae hringnae teh, laicei lah awm naseh. Hete ram het BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe torei teh, nang dawk yuemkamcu lah ka o vaiteh, hawinae ka sak han telah ati awh.
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was upon the side of the wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
Hote napui a onae im teh, khopui tungdumnae ateng lah ao dawkvah, ahnimanaw hah hlalangaw dawk rui hoi a pabo teh
16 And she said unto them: 'Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned; and afterward may ye go your way.'
nangmanaw na pâlei e taminaw koehoi na hlout thai awh nahan mon lah yawng awh nateh, hnin thum touh kâhrawk awh. Nangmouh katawngnaw a ban hnukkhu hoi cet awh atipouh.
17 And the men said unto her: 'We will be guiltless of this thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
Ahnimanaw ni nang ni thoekâbo sak e dawk kaimouh koe yon phat sak hanh.
18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by; and thou shalt gather unto thee into the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household.
Hete ram dawk kaimouh ka pha toteh, atu kaimouh na pabonae hlalangaw dawk hete langsanrui hah pen nateh, manu napa, na thangroinaw hoi na imthungkhunaw abuemlah na im dawk koung na pâkhueng han.
19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless; and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
Na im dawk hoi alawilah ka tâcawt e tami teh dout pawiteh, a ma dawkvah khang naseh. Kaimouh teh yon dawk hoi ka hlout awh han. Na imthungkhunaw ka thet payon awh pawiteh kaimouh ni ka khang awh han.
20 But if thou utter this our business, then we will be guiltless of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.'
Kaimae thaw hai na dei pouh boipawiteh, atu thoe na kâbo sak e dawk hoi kaimouh hai ka hlout awh han.
21 And she said: 'According unto your words, so be it.' And she sent them away, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Napui ni hai lawk na dei awh e patetlah awm lawiseh ati teh a ceisak. Napui ni hai rui paling e hah hlalangaw dawk a pakhi.
22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned; and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
Ahnimanaw teh mon dawk a pha hoehroukrak a cei awh teh, kapâleinaw a ban hoehroukrak hnin thum touh ao awh. Kapâleinaw ni a tawng awh eiteh hmawt awh hoeh.
23 Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.
Ahnimouh roi teh mon hoi a kum teh tui a raka roi. Nun e capa Joshua koe a pha teh, a kâhmo e hnonaw pueng hah a dei pouh.
24 And they said unto Joshua: 'Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.'
BAWIPA Cathut ni hote ram abuemlah maimae kut dawk na poe toe. Maimouh kecu dawk ram thung kaawm e tami pueng a lungpuen awh telah Joshua koe a dei pouh awh.
