Joshua 3
1 And Joshua rises early in the morning, and they journey from Shittim, and come to the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodge there before they pass over.
Joshua chu Israelte jouse toh jingpitah’in Shittim ahindalhauvin Jordan vadung pang chu ahung lhungun, galkaipai louvin hilai munna chun ngahmun akisem tauvin ahi.
2 And it comes to pass, at the end of three days, that the authorities pass over into the midst of the camp,
Hiti chun nithum jouvin Israel lamkaiho chu ngahmunna chun acheuvin, mipiho chu thupeh aganeijun,
3 and command the people, saying, “When you see the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and the priests, the Levites, carrying it, then you journey from your place, and have gone after it;
Mipiho chu thupeh aganeijun, “Nanghon Pakai na Pathennu kitepna thingkong khu Levi thempuhon ahinputnu namu tenguleh naumnao muncheh’uva kon in kipatnunlang anungu juiyin atiuve.
4 only, a distance is between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; you do not come near to it, so that you know the way in which you go, for you have not passed over in the way before.”
Nangho hiche lampia hi nana chekhah loujeh’un amahon napuidiu ahi. Nangho le amaho kikahchu tong sangni hiding hiche kalvalla hi nachenai louheldiu ahi,” atiuve.
5 And Joshua says to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow YHWH does wonders in your midst.”
Hichun Joshua’n mipiho kommachun nangho le nangho kisuthengun, ajeh chu jing nikholeh Pakaiyin nangho lah’a thil kidang abol ding ahi ati.
6 And Joshua speaks to the priests, saying, “Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and pass over before the people”; and they take up the Ark of the Covenant, and go before the people.
Chuleh Joshua thempuho kommachun aseijin, “Kitepna thingkong chu pu-uvin lang mipiho masang langa chun cheuvin,” ati. Hichun amaho akipatdoh’un, kitepna thingkong chu apu-uvin mipiho masanga chun acheuvin ahi.
7 And YHWH says to Joshua, “This day I begin to make you great in the eyes of all Israel, so that they know that as I was with Moses I am with you;
Pakaiyin Joshua komma chun, “Tunihin keiman nangmahi Israel mite jousea mitmua katunlet ding nahi, chutengleh amahon Mose kana umpi bang banga nangjong kaumpi inghy ahetdoh theidiu ahi.
8 and you, command the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant, saying, When you come to the extremity of the waters of the Jordan, stand in the Jordan.”
Kitepna thingkongpua thempuho komma chun hiche thupeh hi seipeh’in, nangho Jordan vadung pang nalhun tenguleh Jordan vadung chu gahchonlutnun lang ding dennun,” ati.
9 And Joshua says to the sons of Israel, “Come near here, and hear the words of your God YHWH”;
Hitichun Joshua’n jong Israelte jah’a chun “Hungun lang Pakai na Pathennun ipi najahsah nommuvem hung ngaijun,
10 and Joshua says, “By this you know that the living God [is] in your midst, and He certainly dispossesses from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite:
Tunia hi nanghon hingjing Pathen chu nalah’uva aumme ti nahetdiu ahi. Aman Caanan mite, Hit mite, Hivi mite, Periz mite, Girgas mite, Amor mite chule Jebus mite jouse namasanguva nanomang pehdiu ahi.
11 behold, the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord of all the earth is passing over before you into the Jordan;
Ven, vannoi leiset pumpi Pakai kitepna thingkong chun nangho hiche Jordan vadunga hi napuigalkai diu ahi.
12 and now, take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man—one man for a tribe;
Tun, Israel phung somleni lah’a konchun, phungkhatna mikhat lhengdoh’in lang,
13 and it has been, at the resting of the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the Ark of YHWH, Lord of all the earth, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan are cut off—the waters which are coming down from above—and they stand—one heap.”
Vannoi leiset pumpi Pakai thingkong chu thempuhon aputdiu, akengun tui agah chotkhah khah leh sahlanga konna tui hunglonglha chu tanjengding, chuleh vadung chu banglai banga kikhang jengding ahi,” ati.
14 And it comes to pass, in the journeying of the people from their tents to pass over the Jordan, and of the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant before the people,
Hitichun mipiho chun angahmunnu chu ahin dalhauvin Jordan palgalkai dingchun ahung kijottauve, chuleh kitepna thingkongpua thempu hochu ahung masauvin ahi.
15 and at those carrying the Ark coming to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the Ark have been dipped in the extremity of the waters (and the Jordan is full over all its banks all the days of harvest)—
Hichu chang at phatlai ahiyeh’in Jordan chu akamma tui letjenga ahi. Ahinla thingkongpua thempuho kengchun vadung geichin tuilah chu agah chotkhah phatnun,
16 that the waters stand; those coming down from above have risen—one heap, very far above Adam, the city which [is] at the side of Zaretan; and those going down by the Sea of the Plain (the Salt Sea), have been completely cut off; and the people have passed through opposite Jericho;
Sahlanga konna hunglonglha tuichu akitintang jengin Adam kiti Zerethen komma khopi geichun gamlatah geijin tui alom changing akikhanghel jengin ahi. Chuleh hiche noilanga tui ho chu alon kanghel tokah’in Dead Sea ah alonglutnin ahi. Hijeh chun mipiho chu Jericho khopi komma chun agalkaijun ahi.
17 and the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH stand on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan—established, and all Israel are passing over on dry ground until all the nation has completed to pass over the Jordan.
Hitichun mipiho akijot sungu chun Pakai thingkongpu thempuho chu vadungkim tolgolai jachun ading dennun ahi. Amahon Israel nampumpi chu Jordan tolgolai ajot galkaisoh tokah’in angah’un ahi.
