< Joshua 2 >
1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged 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 country.
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, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
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 said thus, There came men 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 shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot 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 of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order 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 Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
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 YHWH hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of 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 YHWH dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and 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 these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for YHWH your Elohim, he is Elohim in heaven above, and in 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 YHWH, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto 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 that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
kaie anu apa, hmaunawngha, ka thangroinaw koe, ahnimouh hoi kâkuen e pueng hai thet laipalah a hringnae hlout sak hanelah Cathut koe lawkkamnae sak awh nateh, thoekâbo awh. Mitnoutnae hno hai na poe haw atipouh.
14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when YHWH hath given 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 town 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 meet 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 blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us 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 bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.
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 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit 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 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell 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 YHWH hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of 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.
