Joshua 4
1 And it cometh to pass, when all the nation hath completed to pass over the Jordan, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,
Mipiho chu Jordan agalkai sohhel phatnun, Pakaiyin Joshua komma chun thu ahinseije,
2 'Take for you out of the people twelve men, one man — one man out of a tribe;
“Tun phungtinna kon in pasal somleni lhengdoh’in lang,
3 and command ye them, saying, Take up for you from this [place], from the midst of the Jordan, from the established standing-place of the feet of the priests, twelve stones, and ye have removed them over with you, and placed them in the lodging-place in which ye lodge to-night.'
Jordan vadung lailung nadinnauva kon in song somleni hinchoidoh’un, hichu choijunlang tunilhah’a nagenadiu munnachun sekhommun,” ati.
4 And Joshua calleth unto the twelve men whom he prepared out of the sons of Israel, one man — one man out of a tribe;
Hitichun Joshua’n Israel phungtinna konna alhendoh somleni hochu akoukhom’in,
5 and Joshua saith to them, 'Pass over before the ark of Jehovah your God unto the midst of the Jordan and lift up for you each, one stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,
Amaho komma chun, “Jordan lailung Pakai na Pathennu thingkong masanga khun cheuvinlang mikhatnin songkhat cheh nalengkou uvah hinpuuvin lang, Israel phung somleni a kon in phungkhat’a songkhat cheh, song somleni chu hinchoijun tin aseipeh’in ahi.
6 so that this is a sign in your midst, when your children ask hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones to you?
Eihon hiche song hohi melchihna khatna imandiu ahi. Khonungteng leh nachateuvin hiche songhi ipi vetsahna ham tia ahindoh tenguleh,
7 that ye have said to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off, at the presence of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; in its passing over into the Jordan were the waters of the Jordan cut off; and these stones have been for a memorial to the sons of Israel — to the age.'
Nanghon hitiahi nadonbutdiu ahi, Pakai kitepna thingkong chu akiput galkai phat chun Jordan vadung chu atanghel jengtan ahi, Israel mipiten itihchan hijongleh ahetjingna diuva hiche songho hi amelchihna hiding ahi tia naseipehdiu ahi.” ati.
8 And the sons of Israel do so as Joshua commanded, and take up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah hath spoken unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and remove them over with them unto the lodging-place, and place them there,
Hitichun mipihon Joshua athupeh bang bangin abol’un ahi. Pakaiyin Joshua ana thupeh bang bangin Jordan vadung lailunga konchun phung khatna songkhat chehtoh kitoh dingin song chu somleni ahin puuvin ahi. Amahon hichu ajangenau ngahmunnah apolutnun het jingna song dingin aphut tauvin ahi.
9 even the twelve stones hath Joshua raised up out of the midst of the Jordan, the place of the standing of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, and they are there unto this day.
Joshua’n jong achombeh’in Jordan lailunga kitepna thingkong puho keng phangin achotphanau laitah’a chun song somleni aphutnin ahi. Hichechu tuni geijin aumnalaijin ahi.
10 And the priests bearing the ark are standing in the midst of the Jordan till the completion of the whole thing which Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, and the people haste and pass over.
Mose’n Pakai thupeh ho Joshua anapehson hochu akitoldoh sohkei tokah’in thingkongpua thempuho chu vadung lailunga chun dding jingun ahi. Alangkhatnah mipiho chu kinotah’in vadung chu agalkaijun ahi.
11 And it cometh to pass when all the people have completed to pass over, that the ark of Jehovah passeth over, and the priests, in the presence of the people;
Mipiho jouse chu bitkeija agalkai sohkei phatnun Pakai thingkong puho jongchu mipiho mitmu changtah chun agalkaijun ahi.
12 and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, pass over, by fifties, before the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them;
Galmanchah kichoi Reuben leh Gad phungmi holeh Manasseh phung akehkhatnin Mose thupeh bangin Israelte chu alamkaijun Jordan agalkai masauvin ahi.
13 about forty thousand, armed ones of the host, passed over before Jehovah for battle, unto the plains of Jericho.
Hitobanga galmanchah kichoi mihem sangsomli hochu galsat dinga kigosadem ahiuve, chuleh, amaho chu Pakai mapuina changpummin Jericho khopi phaicham lang’ah chun agalkai tauvin ahi.
14 On that day hath Jehovah made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel, and they reverence him, as they reverenced Moses, all days of his life.
Hiche nikho chun Pakaiyin Joshua chu Israelte jouse mitmun atunglennin ahi, hitichun amahon ahinkho lhumkeijin agingun, Mose anaja bang bangun jana anapeuvin ahi.
15 And Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,
Pakaiyin Joshua kommachun hitin anaseije,
16 'Command the priests bearing the ark of the testimony, and they come up out of the Jordan.'
“Vadung tolhgo laiya konchun Pakai kitepna thingkongpu hochu hungdoh dingin thu pen,” ati.
17 And Joshua commandeth the priests, saying, 'Come ye up out of the Jordan.'
Hitichun Joshua’n jong thupeh chu agah neitan ahi.
18 And it cometh to pass, in the coming up of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the midst of the Jordan — the soles of the feet of the priests have been drawn up into the dry ground — and the waters of the Jordan turn back to their place, and go as heretofore over all its banks.
Pakai kitepna thingkongpu thempuho chu vadung golaija konna ahungpotdoh uva akengphangun vadung pang tolgo lah chu ahinchot phat’uvin Jordan vadung tuichu ahunglong kitnin tumasanga bang bangin vadung pang aletdoh sohkei kittan ahi.
19 And the people have come up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamp in Gilgal, in the extremity east of Jericho;
Mipichun lhamasa nisom channi chun Jordan chu ahung galkaijun Jericho solam Gilgal munna chun ngahmun asemmun ahi.
20 and these twelve stones, which they have taken out of the Jordan, hath Joshua raised up in Gilgal.
Joshua’n Jordan vadunga konna song somleni ahinlah chu hiche Gilgal munnahin alomchang’in asekhommin ahi.
21 And he speaketh unto the sons of Israel, saying, 'When your sons ask their fathers hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones?
Hichun Joshua’n Israelte kommachun aseijin, “Khonungleh nachateuvin hichehi ipi vetsahna ham tia nahindoh tenguleh,
22 then ye have caused your sons to know, saying, On dry land Israel passed over this Jordan;
Hiteng chuleh nanghon hiche laiya hi Israel chaten Jordan tolgo laiya ahung galkaina munnu chu ahi tia nadonbutdiu ahi,
23 because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan at your presence, till your passing over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea which He dried up at our presence till our passing over;
Ajeh chu, na Pakai na Pathennun nangho mitmu tah’a tuichu Achansah’a hitia chu twikhanglensan igalkaisoh kahseuva Achansah banga chu igalkai sohkei tokah uva akansah ahin,
24 so that all the people of the land do know the hand of Jehovah that it [is] strong, so that ye have reverenced Jehovah your God all the days.'
Leiset chunga nam jousen Pakai banthahat anatatje ahetsohna diuleh nanghon jong Pakai na Pathennu itihchan hijongleh naginjing theinadiu ahi tia naseipehdiu ahi.” tin aseipeh tai.
