Joshua 7
1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
Tedae Israel ca rhoek te yaehtaboeih dongah boekoeknah la boe a koek uh. Judah koca khuikah Zerah kah a ca Zabdi ko Karmee capa Akhan loh yaehtaboeih la aka om tea loh. Te dongah BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh Israel ca rhoek taengah sai.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
Te vaengah Jerikho lamkah hlang rhoek te Bethel khothoeng Bethaven kaepkah aka om Ai la Joshua loh tueih tih, “Cet uh lamtah khohmuen ke hip uh lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlang rhoek te cet uh tih Ai tea hip uh.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; [and] make not all the people to labour thither; for they [are but] few.
Joshua taenglaa mael uh vaengah tah, “Pilnam pum he cet boel mai saeh. Hlang he tongpa thawng hnih thawng thum tluk cet uh saeh lamtah Ai tea tloek toem bitni. Amih hlangsii ham te pilnam pum taengah kohnue mai boeh,” a ti uh.
4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
Te dongah pilnam khui lamkah hlang thawng thum tluk tah cet uh van dae Ai hlang rhoek mikhmuh ah rhaelrham uh.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them [from] before the gate [even] unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
Amih khui lamkah hlang sawmthum parhuk tluk te Ai hlang rhoek loh a ngawn. Amih te vongka hmai lamloh Shebarim duelaa hloem uh tih singling aha tloek vaengah pilnam tah a thinko paci tih tui bangla om uh.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
Te dongah Joshua loh a himbai te a phen tih a BOEIPA kah thingkawng hmai ah kholaeh duea maelhmai neh diklai la bakop. Amah neh Israela hamca rhoek long khaw a lu dongah laipia poep uh.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
Te vaengah Joshua loh, “Aw ka Boeipa Yahovah, balae tih pilnam he Jordan na kat na kat sak phoeiah kaimih aka milh sak hama Amori kut ah kaimih he nan voeih. Ka ueh uh mai vetih Jordan rhalvangan ah duem ka om uh mai mako?
8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
Aw Boeipa Israel loh a thunkha rhoek kah mikhmuh aha rhawna maelh te balae ka ti eh.
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
Kanaan neh khohmuen kah khosa boeih loh ya koinih kaimih he m'vael uh vetih kaimih ming he diklai lamkaha hnawt uh ni ta. Te vaengah na boeilen ming te metlam na saii eh?,” a ti nah.
10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
Te dongah Joshua te BOEIPA loh, “Namah mah thoo lah. Balae tih na hmai la na bakop?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put [it] even among their own stuff.
Israel he tholh tih ka paipi khawa poe. Amih te ka uen lalah yaehtaboeih tea loh uh bal tiha huen uh bal. Te lalah khaw basa uh tih amamih kah hnopai khuiaha khueh uh bal.
12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
Israel ca rhoek he a thunkha rhoek mikhmuh ah pai thai mahpawh. Yaehtaboeih la a om uh dongah a thunkha kah mikhmuh ah khaw a rhawn ni hikhik a hooi uh eh. Na khui lamkah yaehtaboeih te na khoe uh pawt atah nangmih taengah om hamla ka coeng thai voel moenih.
13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
Thoo lamtah pilnam ke ciim laeh. Te vaengah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh, 'Israel nang khui ah yaehtaboeih om tih na khui lamkah yaehtaboeih te na khoe uh hlanhil na thunkha rhoek kah mikhmuh ah pai ham tah na coeng uh moenih,’ a ti coeng dongah thangvuen kho ham namamih te ciim uh laeh,” ti nah.
14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, [that] the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families [thereof; ] and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
Te dongah mincang ah namamih koca rhoek loh ha capit uh laeh. BOEIPA loh a buem koca long tah amah huiko neh ha pawk uh saeh. BOEIPA loh a buem huiko long tah a imkhuikho neh ha pawk uh saeh. BOEIPA loh a buem imkhuikho long khawa hlang rhoek neh ha pawk saeh.
15 And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
Yaehtaboeih aka buem tah ana om saeh, BOEIPA kah paipia poe tih Israel khui ah boethae halang ni a saii. Te dongah amah neh amah taengkah boeih te hmai neh hoeh saeh,” a ti nah.
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
Mincanga thoh vaengah Joshua taengla Israel koca rhoek loh ha capit uh tih Judah koca te a tuuk.
17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
Judah kah a hui a ko ha pawk vaengah Zarkhii kah a huiko tea tuuk. Zarkhii huiko khuikah hlang la a pawk dongah Zabdi te a tuuk.
18 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Anih imkhui kah hlang laa pawk dongah Judah koca Zerah ko Zabdi kah a ca Karmee capa Akhan te a tuuk.
19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide [it] not from me.
Te dongah Akhan te Joshua loh, “Ka ca, Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah thangpomnah pae laeh lamtah uemonah khaw amah taengah pae laeh. Na saii te kai taengah phoe lamtah phah voel boeh,” a ti nah.
20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
Te vaengah Akhan loh Joshua tea doo tih, “Ue kai he Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah ka tholh coeng tih he tlam he khaw ka saii coeng.
21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they [are] hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
Kutbuem te ka sawt tih ka hmuh vaengah Shinar himbai then yungat, caka khiing shekel yahnih, sui a khiing shekel sawmnga pakhat te ka nai tih ka loh. Tedae ka dap khui kah diklai khui ah ka up tih a cak te laedil ah om ke,” a ti nah.
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, [it was] hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
Te dongah Joshua loh puencawn rhoek te a tueih tih dap laa yong uh vaengah tah dap khuiaha thuh tih a laedil ah cak ana om tangloeng.
23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.
Te dongah amih te dap khui lamkaha loh uh tih Joshua neh Israel ca rhoek taengla boeiha khuen uh. Te phoeiah BOEIPA hmai aha rha uh.
24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
Te phoeiah Zerah capa Akhan neh cak khaw, himbai khaw sui tling khaw, a capa neh a canu khaw, a vaito khaw, a laak khaw, a boiva khaw, a dap neh anih taengkah aka om boeih te Joshua loh a loh pah tih anih te Israel pum loh Akor kol la a khuen uh.
25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
Te phoeiah Joshua loh, “Balae tih kaimih nan lawn, tihnin ah BOEIPA loh nang n'lawn saeh,” a ti nah. Anih te Israel pum loh lungto neh a dae uh tih hmai neha hoeh uh. Te phoeiah ah khaw lungto neha dae thil uh bal.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
Te dongah anih sokaha kuk lungkuk te tihnin duela muep om pueng. Tedae BOEIPA thintoek thinsaa sah coeng dongah tekaha hmuen ming khaw tihnin due Akor kol la a khue.
