Joshua 8
1 And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear not, nor be timorous: take with you all the men of war, and arise, go up to Gai; behold, I have given into your hands the king of Gai, and his land.
To pacoengah Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah, Zii hmah loe, palung doeh boeng hmah; angthawk ah, misatuh kaminawk boih to kawk loe, Ai vangpui tuk hanah caeh tahang ah; Ai vangpui ukkung siangpahrang, anih ih kaminawk, anih ih vangpui hoi a prae to na ban ah kang paek boeh.
2 And you shall do to Gai, as you did to Jericho and its king; and you shall take to yourself the spoil of its cattle; set now for yourself an ambush for the city behind.
Jeriko vangpui hoi a siangpahrang nuiah na sak o ih baktih toengah, Ai vangpui hoi siangpahrang nuiah doeh sah ah; toe na lomh o ih hmuen hoi moinawk loe nangmacae hanah sin oh; vangpui hnukbang ah misatoep kami to suem oh, tiah a naa.
3 And Joshua and all the men of war rose to go up to Gai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men, and he sent them away by night.
To pongah Joshua loe angthawk moe, Ai vangpui to tuk hanah angmah ih misatuh kaminawk boih hoi nawnto caeh o; misatuk kop kami sang quithumto a qoih pacoengah, nihcae to aqum ah patoeh.
4 And he charged them, saying, Do you lie in ambush behind the city: do not go far from the city, and you shall all be ready.
Joshua mah nihcae khaeah, Khenah, To vangpui to tuk hanah vangpui hnukbang ah misatoep kami to suem oh; vangpui hoi kangthla ah caeh o hmah; acoehaih hoiah om oh;
5 Land I and all with me will draw near to the city: and it shall come to pass when the inhabitants of Gai shall come forth to meet us, as before, that we will flee from before them.
kai hoi ka taengah om kaminawk boih loe, vangpui thungah ka caeh o han; canghniah vangpui kaminawk mah ang tuk o nathuem ih baktih toengah, nihcae mah kaicae tuk han angzoh o naah, kaicae loe nihcae hmaa ah ka cawnh pae o han,
6 And when they shall come out after us, we will draw them away from the city; and they will say, These men flee from before us, as also before.
nihcae vangpui tasa bang tacawt o thai hanah, vangpui hoi kangthla ahmuen ah ka zoek o han; to naah nihcae mah, Canghni ih baktih toengah aicae hmaa ah a cawnh o boeh, tiah thui o tih: nihcae hmaa ah to tiah ka cawnh pae o han.
7 And you shall rise up out of the ambuscade, and go into the city.
To naah na ngang o haih ahmuen hoiah angthawk oh loe, vangpui to la oh; na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae ban ah paek tih.
8 You shall do according to this word, behold! I have commanded you.
Vangpui na lak o pacoengah, hmai hoiah qoeng oh; Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah sah oh; khenah, kang paek ih lok na panoek o boeh, tiah a naa.
9 And Joshua sent them, and they went to lie in ambush; and they lay between Baethel and Gai, westward of Gai.
To pacoeng ah Joshua mah nihcae to patoeh; nihcae loe misa angang hanah Bethel hoi Ai salak, Ai vangpui niduem bangah caeh o; toe Joshua loe to naduem ah kaminawk hoi nawnto oh.
10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people; and he went up, he and the elders before the people to Gai.
Joshua loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, kaminawk to kroek; anih loe Israel kacoehtanawk hoi nawnto kaminawk hmaa ah, Ai vangpui ah caeh o tahang.
11 And all the men of war went up with him, and they went forward and came over against the city eastward.
Angmah khae kaom misatuh kaminawk boih hoi nawnto vangpui to anghnaih o thuih, vangpui hmabang ah phak o moe, Ai vangpui aluek bangah atai o; nihcae hoi Ai vangpui salakah azawn to oh.
12 And the ambuscade [was] on the west side of the city.
Ai vangpui niduem bang, vangpui hoi Bethel salakah misatoep kami suek hanah, kami sang pangato a kawk.
Misatuh kaminawk to vangpui aluek bangah a suek boih, vangpui niduem bangah doeh misa angang kaminawk to a suek; to na aqum ah Joshua loe azawn ah caeh.
14 And it came to pass when the king of Gai saw [it], he hasted and went out to meet them direct to the battle, he and all the people [that were] with him: and he knew not that there was an ambuscade [formed] against him behind the city.
Ai siangpahrang mah nihcae to hnuk naah, angmah hoi vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk boih loe khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, Israel kaminawk to tuk hanah atue khaehhaih atue to phak naah, karangah azawn ah caeh o; toe vangpui hnukbang ah angang kaminawk oh o, tiah anih mah panoek ai.
15 And Joshua and Israel saw, and retreated from before them.
Joshua hoi Israel kaminawk loe misatuk sung baktiah angsak o moe, nihcae mikhnuk ah praezaek loklam hoiah a cawnh o.
16 And they pursued after the children of Israel, and they themselves went to a distance from the city.
Nihcae patom hanah Ai vangpui thung ih kaminawk boih angkawk o; vangpui thung hoiah tacawt o moe, Joshua to patom o.
17 There was no one left in Gai who did not pursue after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
Ai vangpui hoi Bethel vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk thungah, Israel kaminawk patom ai kami maeto doeh om o ai; vangpui to tacawt o taak boih moe, Israel kaminawk to patom o.
18 And the Lord said to Joshua, Stretch forth your hand with the spear that is in your hand toward the city, for I have delivered it into your hands; and the liers in wait shall rise up quickly out of their place.
To naah Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah, Na ban ih tayae to Ai vangpui bangah phok ah; vangpui to na ban ah kang paek han boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah Joshua mah a ban ih angmah ih tayae to phok moe, vangpui bangah a ban to payangh.
19 And Joshua stretched out his hand [and] his spear toward the city, and the ambuscade rose up quickly out of their place; and they came forth when he stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and burnt the city with fire.
Joshua mah ban payangh naah, misa angang kaminawk loe angmacae ohhaih ahmuen hoiah karangah angthawk o, vangpui thungah akun o moe, vangpui to lak o pacoengah, hmai hoiah qoeng o.
20 And when the inhabitants of Gai looked round behind them, then they saw the smoke going up out of the city to heaven, and they were no longer able to flee this way or that way.
Ai vangpui ih kaminawk hnukbang angqoi o naah, khenah, van ah angthawk tahang vangpui thung ih hmaikhue to a hnuk o; to naah nihcae loe kawbaktih loklam hoiah doeh loih thaihaih roe om ai boeh; praezaek ah kacawn Israel kaminawk mah nihcae patom vangpui kaminawk to patom o moe, hum o.
21 And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambuscade had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up to heaven; and they turned and struck the men of Gai.
Misa angang kaminawk mah vangpui to lak o boeh moe, van ah angthawk tahang hmaikhue to Joshua hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah hnuk o naah, amlaem o moe, Ai vangpui ih kaminawk to hum o.
22 And these came forth out of the city to meet them; and they were in the midst of the army, some [being] on this side, and some on that; and they struck them until there was not left of them one who survived and escaped.
Misa angang kaminawk doeh vangpui thungah akun o moe, vangpui kaminawk to tuk o; Israel kaminawk mah ahnuk ahmaa hoiah tuk o pongah, nihcae loe aum ah oh o sut; Israel kaminawk mah nihcae to hum o; maeto doeh pathlung o ai, maeto doeh loih o sak ai.
23 And they took the king of Gai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Toe Ai siangpahrang loe kahing ah naeh o moe, Joshua khaeah caeh o haih.
24 And when the children of Israel had ceased slaying all that were in Gai, and in the fields, and in the mountain on the descent, from whence they pursued them [even] to the end, then Joshua returned to Gai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.
Israel kaminawk mah Ai vangpui ih kaminawk to patom o moe, taw hoi praezaek ah hum o boih; nihcae to sumsen hoiah hum o boih pacoengah, Israel kaminawk loe Ai vangpui hoi amlaem o let moe, vangpui thung kaom kaminawk boih sumsen hoiah hum o.
25 And they that fell in that day, men and women, were twelve thousand: [they killed] all the inhabitants of Gai.
To na niah nongpa hoi nongpata sang hatlai hnetto a hum o; Ai vangpui ah kaom kaminawk loe duek o boih.
Ai vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk hum boih ai karoek to, Joshua mah a ban to phok, payangh ih tayae to azuk let ai.
27 Beside the spoils that were in the city, all things which the children of Israel took as spoil for themselves according to the command of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Joshua.
Toe Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk mah vangpui thungah pacah ih moinawk hoi hmuenmaenawk boih to angmacae han lak o.
28 And Joshua burnt the city with fire: he made it an uninhabited heap for ever, [even] to this day.
Joshua mah Ai vangpui to hmai hoiah qoeng o, to ahmuen loe vaihni ni khoek to kamro hmuenmae tapophaih ahmuen ah oh.
29 And he hanged the king of Gai on a gallows; and he remained on the tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave charge, and they took down his body from the tree, and cast it into a pit, and they set over him a heap of stones until this day.
Ai vangpui siangpahrang to duembang khoek to, thing pongah a bangh; duembang phak naah loe anih ih qok to lak moe, vangpui khongkha taengah vah sut hanah, Joshua mah lokpaek; anih ih qok nuiah kalen parai thlung to tapop o; to tiah tapop ih thlung to vaihni ni khoek to oh vop.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel in mount Gaebal,
To naah Joshua mah Ebal mae ah Israel Angraeng Sithaw hanah hmaicam maeto sak.
31 as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, on which iron had not been lifted up; and he offered there whole burnt offerings to the Lord, and a peace-offering.
Israel kaminawk hanah Angraeng ih tamna Mosi mah paek ih lok baktih, Mosi kaalok cabu pongah tarik ih baktih toengah, anih mah hmaicam maeto sak; to hmaicam loe mi mah doeh sum hoi takhuek vai ai ih thlung, ahmaa om ai thlung hoiah a sak; to hmaicam nuiah Angraeng hanah hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to a sak.
32 And Joshua wrote upon the stones a copy of the law, even the law of Moses, before the children of Israel.
Israel kaminawk mikhnukah, Joshua mah to thlung nuiah Mosi mah paek ih kaalok to tarik pakong let.
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and their judges, and their scribes, passed on one side and on the other before the ark; and the priests and the Levites took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the stranger and the native were there, who were half of them near mount Garizin, and half near mount Gaebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded at first, to bless the people.
Israel kaminawk tahamhoihaih paek hanah, Angraeng ih tamna Mosi khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk boih, angraengnawk, kacoehtanawk, lokcaekkungnawk, nihcae salakah tapen kaminawk doeh, Levi acaeng qaimanawk mah aput o ih Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong hae bang hoi ho bangah angdoet o; qaimanawk loe aum ah angdoet o; kami ahap Gerizim mae bangah angdoet o moe, kami ahap Ebal mae bangah angdoet o.
34 And afterwards Joshua read accordingly all the words of this law, the blessings and the curses, according to all things written in the law of Moses.
To pacoengah kaaloknawk boih, kaalok cabu thungah tarik ih loknawk baktih toengah, tahamhoihaih hoi tangoenghaih to Joshua mah kroek pae.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses charged Joshua, which Joshua read not in the ears of all the assembly of the children of Israel, the men, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that joined themselves to Israel.
Joshua loe Mosi mah paek ih lok maeto doeh tahmat ai; Israel kaminawk, nongpatanawk, nawktanawk hoi nihcae khae kaom angvinnawk hmaa ah kroek pae boih.
