1 Therfor Josue, the sone of Nun, sente fro Sethym twei men, aspieris in hiddlis, and seide to hem, Go ye, and biholde ye the lond, and the citee of Jerico. Whiche yeden, and entriden into the hous of a womman hoore, `Raab bi name, and restiden at hir.
Nun capa Joshua loh hlang panit te Shittim lamloh longyam la duem a tueih tih, “Khohmuen te so rhoi lamtah Jerikho la cet rhoi lah,” a ti nah. Tedae a caeh rhoi vaengah tah Rakhab aka ming nah pumyoi nu im la pawk rhoi tih te pahoi ah yalh rhoi.
2 And it was teld, `and seid to the kyng of Jerico, Lo! men of the sones of Israel entriden hidir bi nyyt, to aspie the lond.
Te dongah, “Khohmuen hip hamla Israel ca khui lamkah khoyin ah hlang tarha halo,” a ti nah tih Jerikho manghai taengah a puen pah.
3 Therfor the kyng of Jerico sente to Raab the hoore, and seide, Brynge out the men, that camen to thee, and entriden in to thin hous; for thei ben aspieris, and thei camen to biholde al the lond.
Jerikho manghai loh Rakhab te a tah tih, “Na taengla aka pawk hlang rhoi te hang khuen. Amih te khohmuen boeih hip hamla halo tih na im khuila ha kun dae,” a ti nah.
4 And the womman took the men, and hidde hem, and seide, Y knowleche, thei camen to me, but Y wiste not of whenus thei weren;
Tedae tekah huta hlang rhoi te a khuen tih a thuh. Te phoeiah hlang rhoi te kai taengla halo ngawn ue. Tedae amih rhoi te me lamkah rhoi nim ka ming moenih.
5 and whanne the yate was closid in derknessis, and thei yeden out to gidire, Y noot whidur thei yeden; pursue ye soone, and ye schulen take hem.
Khohmuep kah vongka khaih ham a om vaengah tekah hlang rhoi te cet rhoi coeng. Tekah hlang rhoi loh mela a caeh ka ming pawt dae a hnukah tlek na hloem uh atah na kae uh khaming,” a ti nah.
6 Forsothe sche made the men to stie in to the soler of hir hows, and hilide hem with stobil of flex, that was there.
Tedae anih long ngawn tah amih rhoi te imphu la a yoeng puei tih imphu kah a yaan hlamik kong khuila a det.
7 Sotheli thei, that weren sent, sueden hem bi the weie that ledith to the fordis of Jordan; and whanne thei weren goon out, anoon the yate was closid.
Te dongah amih rhoi te Jordan longpuei kah lamkai due la tongpa rhoek loh a hloem uh. Amih rhoi aka hloem rhoek loh a caeh uh van neh vongka khaw tloep a khaih uh.
8 Thei that weren hid, slepten not yit, and lo! the womman stiede to hem, and seide,
Tedae amih rhoi a ih hlanah Rakhab te imphu la yoeng tih tekah hlang rhoi taengah,
9 Y knowe that the Lord hath bitake to you this lond; for youre feerdfulnesse felde in to vs, and alle the dwelleris of the lond `weren sike.
“Khohmuen he BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah m'paek tih na mueirhih loh kaimih n'nan khaw ka ming. Te dongah diklai khosa boeih loh nangmih mikhmuh ah paci uh.
10 We herden, that the Lord driede the watris of the Reed See at youre entryng, whanne ye yeden out of Egipt; and what thingis ye diden to twei kyngis of Ammorreis, that weren biyende Jordan, to Seon and Og, whiche ye killiden;
Egypt lamkah na lo uh vaengah BOEIPA loh carhaek li kah tui te na mikhmuh ah metlam a haang sak tih Jordan rhalvangan kah Amori manghai rhoi Sihon neh Oga na saii uh tih na thup uh khaw ka yaak uh.
11 and we herden these thingis, and we dredden, and oure herte `was sike, and spirit dwellide not in vs at youre entryng; for youre Lord God hym silf is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe.
Ka yaak uh vaengah ka thinko paci tih nangmih mikhmuh ah pakhat khaw a mueihla om voel pawh. BOEIPA na Pathen amah te tah vaan so neh diklai khuila aka om Pathen pai ni.
12 Now therfor swere ye to me bi the Lord God, that as Y dide merci with you, so and ye do with the hows of my fadir; and yyue ye to me a veri signe,
Te dongah BOEIPA rhang neh kai taengah olcaeng rhoi mai laeh. Nangmih taengah sitlohnah ka saii van dongah nangmih long khaw a pa imkhui ah sitlohnah hang khueh van lamtah oltak la kai taengah miknoek m'pae lah.
13 that ye saue my fadir and modir, and my britheren and sistris, and alle thingis that ben herne, and dilyuere oure lyues fro deeth.
A nu neh a pa khaw, ka nganpa neh kamah kah tanu takhong, amih taengkah aka om boeih rhoek te hlun mai lamtah kaimih kah hinglu he duek khui lamloh han huul mai,” a ti nah.
14 Whiche answeriden to hir, Oure lijf be for you in to deeth, if netheles thou bitraiest not vs; and whanne the Lord hath bitake to vs the lond, we schulen do mercy and treuthe in thee.
Te dongah hlang loh anih te, “Kaimih kah hinglu he a duek hil nangmih ham ni. Kaimih kah olka he na thui pawt mak atah. Ana om van bitni, BOEIPA loh kaimih taengla khohmuen te m'paek van neh nang taengah sitlohnah neh oltak he kan saii uh bitni,” a ti rhoi.
15 Therfor sche let hem doun fro the wyndow bi a corde; for hir hows cleuyde to the wal.
Te dongah amih rhoi te bangbuet lamloh rhuivaeh neh a hlak. Anih im te khopuei vongtung pangbueng kaep ah om tih amah khaw vongtung kaepah kho a sak.
16 And sche seide to hem, Stie ye to the hilli places, lest perauenture men turnynge ayen meete you; and be ye hidde there three daies, til thei comen ayen; and so ye schulen go bi youre weie.
Te phoeiah amih rhoi te, “Tlang la cet rhoi, aka hloem rhoek nangmih rhoi te m'hmuh ve. Aka hloem rhoek ha bal due hnin thum khaw thuh uh lamtah namah longpuei ah cet rhoi,” a ti nah.
17 Whiche seiden to hir, We schulen be giltles of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs,
Te dongah hlang rhoi loh anih te, “Kaimih taengah na toem na ngam bangla na olhlo lamloh ka ommongsitoe rhoi.
18 if, whanne we entren in to the lond, this reed corde is not a signe, and thou byndist it not in the wyndow, bi which thou lettist vs doun; and thou gaderist not in to thi hows thi fadir and modir, and britheren, and al thi kynrede; the blood of hym schal be on his heed,
Kho khuila kaimih ka kun uh atah ngaiuepnah rhui a lingdik he kaimih nan hlak nah bangbuet ah khit lamtah na nu na pa khaw, na nganpa neh na pa imkhui boeih khaw im khuiah namah taengla coi.
19 that goith out at the dore of thin hows, and we schulen be alien, that is, giltles; forsothe the blood of alle men that ben in the hows with thee, schal turne in to oure heed, if ony man touchith hem.
Te vaengah na im thohkhaih lamloh tollong la aka coe boeih te tah amah thii te amah lu dongla kap vetih kaimih tah ka ommongsitoe uh ni. Tedae im khuiah namah taengla aka om khat khat te ni kut a hlah thil oeh atah a thii te kaimih lu dongla tla saeh.
20 `That if thou wolt betraie vs, and brynge forth in to the myddis this word, we schulen be cleene of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs.
Tedae mamih kah olka he na doek atah mamih taengah na toem na ngam na olhlo lamloh ommongsitoe la ka om uh van ni,” a ti nah.
21 And sche answeride, As ye han spoke, so be it doon. And sche lefte hem, that thei schulden go, and sche hangide a reed corde in her wyndow.
Huta long khaw, “Na ol bangla om van saeh,” a ti nah tih amih rhoi te a tueih. A caeh rhoi van neh ngaiuepnah rhui a lingdik te bangbuet ah a khih.
22 Sotheli thei yeden, and camen to the hilli places, and dwelliden there three daies, til thei turneden ayen that pursueden; for thei souyten bi ech weie, and founden not hem.
Te dongah cet rhoi tih tlang la pawk rhoi. Amih aka hloem rhoek halo hlan khuiah teah te hnin thum kho a sak rhoi. Aka hloem rhoek loh longpuei tom ah a tlap uh dae hmu uh pawh.
23 And whanne the sekeris entriden in to the citee, the spieris turneden ayen, and camen doun fro the hille; and whanne thei hadde passid Jordan, thei camen to Josue, the sone of Nun;
Te phoeiah hlang rhoi te bal rhoi. Tlang lamloh suntla tih rhaelrham rhoi. Tedae Nun capa Joshua taengla a pawk rhoi vaengah amih taengkah a hmuh rhoi te boeih a thui pah rhoi.
24 and thei telden to hym alle thingis that bifelden to hem, and seiden, The Lord hath bitake al the lond in to oure hondis, and alle the dwelleris thereof ben casten doun bi drede.
Joshua taengah, “Khohmuen pum he BOEIPA loh mamih kut ah rhep m'paek coeng dongah khohmuen kah khosa rhoek khaw mamih mikhmuh ah boeih paci uh,” a ti rhoi.
