Joshua 2

1 And Joshua son of Nun sendeth from Shittim, two men, spies, silently, saying, 'Go, see the land — and Jericho;' and they go and come into the house of a woman, a harlot, and her name [is] Rahab, and they lie down there.

Nun chapa Joshua’n Shittim’a kon in aguh’a gamvelhi dingin mini anasoldoh’in hitihin anavailhah’in ahi. Chelhonnin lang Jericho geijin agamchu gakholpeh lhonnin ati. Hitichun amani achelhonnin Rahab notinu in na agalhung lhonnin hicheachun agageh lhontan ahi.

2 And it is told to the king of Jericho, saying, 'Lo, men have come in hither to-night, from the sons of Israel, to search the land.

Hiche chu Jericho lengpa kom agalhut tauvin, “Ven, hiche gam kholtoh dingin Israel mi phabep tujannin ahunguve,” agatiuvin ahi.

3 And the king of Jericho sendeth unto Rahab, saying, 'Bring out the men who are coming in unto thee, who have come into thy house, for to search the whole of the land they have come in.

Hichun Jericho lengpan Rahab kommachun mi asollin hitihin agaseisah e, “Hiche gamsung velhi dinga hungho nainna hunglut hochu hinpuidoh’in” atin ahi.

4 And the woman taketh the two men, and hideth them, and saith thus: 'The men came in unto me, and I have not known whence they [are];

Rahab chun miteni chu anasel ahinai, ahinla aman anadonbutnin, “Amani chu ahunglhonnai ahin hoiya konna hunglhonham ti keiman kahepoi.

5 and it cometh to pass — the gate is to [be] shut — in the dark, and the men have gone out; I have not known whither the men have gone; pursue ye, hasten after them, for ye overtake them;'

Kho ahung jinkon kelkot kikhading konchakhun apotdoh lhontai, hoilangpen ajotlhon ham keiman kahepoi, delloi leuchun naphahdiu ahi,” ati.

6 and she hath caused them to go up on the roof, and hideth them with the flax wood, which is arranged for her on the roof.

Ahinlah amanun amani chu indan chunglanga apuitouvin patkung lom inchunga anaphou lah’a chun asellin ahi.

7 And the men have pursued after them the way of the Jordan, by the fords, and the gate they have shut afterwards, when the pursuers have gone out after them.

Hiche jouchun lengpa sepaiten Jordan panmun lampi geijin aganungdel’un ahi. Anungdel ho chu apotdoh jou jouvun Jericho khopi kelkot chu akhahtauvin ahi.

8 And — before they lie down — she hath gone up unto them on the roof,

Gamvelhi teni jan alup masang lhon in, Rahab inchunga amani chu kihoulimpi dingin kaltouvin,

9 and she saith unto the men, 'I have known that Jehovah hath given to you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted at your presence.

ajah lhonnah hitin aseije, “Pakaiyin hiche gamhi nangho napeh’u ahitai ti keiman kahei, nangho ginnan eilodim tauvin, hiche gam mitehi nangho kichatna a tijagam kahitauve.

10 'For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red Sea at your presence, in your going out of Egypt, and that which ye have done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan; to Sihon and to Og whom ye devoted.

Ajeh chu Egypt gamma konna nahung potdoh’u chun Pakaiyin nangho dingin twikhanglen san Achansah’in, chuleh Jordan luigal langa um Amor lengteni Sihor le Og nasuhmang hellu jongchu kana jauvin ahi.

11 And we hear, and melt doth our heart, and there hath not stood any more spirit in [any] man, from your presence, for Jehovah your God, He [is] God in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath.

Hiche thuhi kajah jeh’un kalunguhi alhalhop jengin, nangho kimaitopi ding hi koima angapcha umtalou ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai na Pathennu hi thaneitah, chunga van le noiya lei Pathen ahi.

12 'And now, swear ye, I pray you, to me by Jehovah — because I have done with you kindness — that ye have done, even ye, kindness with the house of my father, and have given to me a true token,

Hijeh chun, keiman nangni kakithopi lhon bang’a hi nangnin jong keile kainsung mite hi kh otona nei neilhonding hinam Pakai minin kihahsellhon’in lang,

13 and have kept alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and have delivered our souls from death.'

Hiche Jericho khopi hi nalah tenguleh, kapa le kanu, kasopi pasalho le kasopi numeiho, kainsung mite jouseule keima neihinghoi diu hinam amelchihna khat neipelhonin ati.

14 And the men say to her, 'Our soul for yours — to die; if ye declare not this our matter, then it hath been, in Jehovah's giving to us this land, that we have done with thee kindness and truth.'

Amanin adonbut lhonnin, nangin neiseidoh lhonlou pouleh nainsungu hoidohna dingin keini hinkho hi kakitepnalhon ahiyenge. Pakaiyin hiche gamhi eipeh tenguleh kakitepna lhon dungjuija khotona kahin neidiu ahi atilhonne.

15 And she causeth them to go down by a rope through the window, for her house [is] in the side of the wall, and in the wall she [is] dwelling;

Hichejou chun, Rahab in jong, amanichu khaokhat nin bangkotna konchun agahkhailhan ahi. Ajeh chu Rahab inchu hiche khopi kulpi pala kingamma ahi.

16 and she saith to them, 'To the mountain go, lest the pursuers come upon you; and ye have been hidden there three days till the turning back of the pursuers, and afterwards ye go on your way.'

Amanun ajahlhonnah, “Molchung langa kaltou lhonnin, ajole minungdel ho chun nahin tohkha get unte, hicheachun nithum hung umlhonnin minungdel ho chu ahung kile kahsen kisel lhonnin, chujoutengleh nachenanom lhonnah chetheilhon tan,” ati.

17 And the men say unto her, 'We are acquitted of this thine oath which thou hast caused us to swear:

Apotdoh masang lhonnin, amanin amanu komma chun, “Nanghon nakiseipeh’u dungjuija hi nahung chonnuleh keiho jong kakitepnao bangahi kahintohdiu ahi atilhonne.

18 lo, we are coming into the land, this line of scarlet thread thou dost bind to the window by which thou hast caused us to go down, and thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all the house of thy father thou dost gather unto thee, to the house;

Keihohi hiche gammahi kahung tenguleh nangin hiche khaosan hi keini neikhailhah lhonna hiche bangkotna konna hi nana khailhahding ahi. Chujouteng, nainsung mite jouse, napa, nang, nasopiho jousele nainsung mite jouse nainsunguva hi nana umdiu ahi.

19 and it hath been, any one who goeth out from the doors of thy house without, his blood [is] on his head, and we are innocent; and any one who is with thee in the house, his blood [is] on our head, if a hand is on him;

Ijemtia napotdoh’uva lamlen dunga nana chekhah uva nathikhah uva ahileh keiho thepmo hilouding ahi. Amavang hiche insunga hi naummuva khattouvin nasuhkhah uleh hitobanga thina nato-uleh keiho mopohna hiding ahi.

20 and if thou declare this our matter, then we have been acquitted from thine oath which thou hast caused us to swear.'

Ahinlah nanghon neijoulhep uva ahivangleh hiche kihahsel nahi pannabei hiding ahi,” ati peh lhonne.

21 And she saith, 'According unto your words, so it [is];' and she sendeth them away, and they go; and she bindeth the scarlet line to the window.

Amanun “Nasei lhonchu kapomme,” ati. Hitichun amani chu asoldoh’in, khaosan chu bangkotna chun akhaitan ahi.

22 And they go, and come in to the mountain, and abide there three days until the pursuers have turned back; and the pursuers seek in all the way, and have not found.

Gamvelhi tenichu thinglhang gam langah akaltou lhonnin nithum agachaam lhonnin ahi. Amani nungdel ho chun lamlen langchu muntin aga phetleng jengun ahinlah ajona’in lolhing louvin ahung kiletauvin ahi.

23 And the two men turn back, and come down from the hill, and pass over, and come in unto Joshua son of Nun, and recount to him all that hath come upon them;

Hichun gamvelhi tenichu thinglhang gamma kon in ahung kumsuh lhonnin Jordan vadung ahinpal galkai lhonnin Joshua kommachun thilsoh jouse chu alhut lhontan ahi.

24 and they say unto Joshua, 'Surely Jehovah hath given into our hand all the land; and also, all the inhabitants of the land have melted at our presence.'

Pakaiyin gamjouse hi eipetauve, ajeh chu agammite ho jouse khu eiho kichatnan atija-gam tauve atilhonne.
