¹And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two spies secretly, saying, Go, see the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and they lay down there.

¹Huan Nun tapa Josuain, A gam leh Jeriko khua te vaen vel vel dih ua, chiin mi nih Sitim mun akipanin a sima enkhe ding a sawl hi. Huan, a vahoh ua, kijuak khat, a min Rahab in ah a valut ua, huaiah a tung uh.

²And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men have come hither to-night from the children of Israel to search out the land.

²Huan, min, Ngaiin, tujanin gam entel dingin Israel suante a hong uh, chiin Jeriko kho kumpipa a hilh ua.

³And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have come into thy house: for they have come to search out all the land.

³Huan, Jeriko kho kumpipan, Na ina hongtung mikhualte honpiin: gam pumpi entel dinga hong ahi uhi, chia hilh dingin Rahab kiangah mi a sawla.

⁴And the woman had taken and concealed the two men; and she said, Yes, the men did come unto me, but I knew not whence they were;

⁴Huchiin, numeiin huai mi nihte a pia, a sel a, huchiin, a kiang uah, He, mite ka kiangah hong ngei ngut ua, himahleh koi akipana hongpai uh ahi ua chih jaw ka theikei:

⁵and it came to pass when the gate had to be closed, at dark, that the men went out: I know not whither the men have gone. Pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.

⁵Huan, hichi ahi a, kho mial, kulh kongpi khak hunding lai khawngin huai mite a pawtkhe nawnta ua: koilamah ahia a pai uh ka theita kei hi: delh meng le uchiin, na pha lai ding u e, a chi a.

⁶But she had taken them up to the roof, and secreted them under the stalks of flax, which she had laid out on the roof.

⁶Ahihhangin in tungah a pitou a, in tunga ji ja kung siat khawmna lakah a sel hi.

⁷And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan, to the fords; and when they who pursued after them had gone out, they closed the gate.

⁷Huan, miten Jordan lui lamah, gal kaina tanin a vadelh ua; huan, a delhmite a pawt khiak tak un kulh kongpi a khak uhi.

⁸And before they had lain down, she went up to them upon the roof;

⁸Huan, a lup ma un in tungah a kiang uah a vahoh toua;

⁹and said to the men, I know that Jehovah has given you the land, and that the dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

⁹Huai mite kiangah, Hiai gam jaw TOUPAN nou a honpetaa, na kihtakhuaina un a hondelhkhuma, hiai gama tengte tengteng na ma uah a zul khin uh ahi chih ka thei hi.

¹⁰For we have heard that Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red sea before you when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

¹⁰Aigupta gam akipan na hongpawt un TOUPAN Tuipi San a honhihkan saka, Jordan lui gala Amorte kumpite nih Sihon leh Og te tunga na hihdante uh, huchibanga na hihman dan te uh lah ka naza ngal ua.

¹¹We heard [of it], and our heart melted, and there remained no more spirit in any man because of you; for Jehovah your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.

¹¹Huai ka najak tak un ka lungtangte uh a zul khina, noute jiaka lunglau lou himhim a om kei uh: TOUPA na Pathian u lah tunglam van ah leh nuailam lei ah Pathian ahi ngala.

¹²And now, I pray you, swear to me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye will also deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a certain sign,

¹²Huchiin tun na tunguah ka honhehpihdan ka nakilangsakta hi, nou leng ka pa inkote tungah na hehpihna uh honkilangsak sam unla,

¹³that ye will let my father live, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that belong to them, and deliver our souls from death.

¹³Ka nu lehka pa te, ka sanggampasalte, ka sanggam numeite leh a neih khempeuh uh hawi unla, sihna lak akipan ka hinna uh honhumbitsak dinginTOUPA min louin hehpih takin ka kiangahkichiam unla, chiamtehna tak petpet honbawlsak un, a chi a.

¹⁴And the men said to her, Our lives shall pay for yours, if ye do not make this our business known; and it shall be when Jehovah shall give us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

¹⁴Huan miten a kiangah, ka thilhih uh na gen khiak kei ding leh na sih tang un ka si ding uh; huchiin hichi ahi dinga, TOUPAN gam a honpiak hun chiangin, ka hon hehpih ding ua, na tungah muanhuai takin ka hih ding uh, a chi ua.

¹⁵And she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was upon the city-wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

¹⁵Huchiin tohlet ah khauhual a zankhe suk a; a in lah khopi kulh khoua om ahi ngala, kulh tunga om ahi.

¹⁶And she said to them, Go to the mountain, that the pursuers may not meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; and afterwards go your way.

¹⁶Huan, a kiang uah, Tang lam juanin paita un, huchilouinjaw nou hondelhten a honmu kha ding uh; huan, huailaiah ni thum vabu un; nou hondelhte a hongkiknawn masiah uh: huaizoh chiangin ahihleh na pai nawn na ding uhi, a chi a.

¹⁷And the men said to her, We will be quit of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

¹⁷Huan, miten a kiangah, Na kichiamna nah on kichiam sak lel injaw moh na honmawk tansak sin kei hial ahi.

¹⁸Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind in the window this line of scarlet thread by which thou hast let us down; and thou shalt gather to thee in the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household;

¹⁸Ngaiin, hiai gama ka honglut hun chiang un hiai khausan na honkhiakna tohlet ah na nagak belh in; huan, in sungah na kiangah na nute, na sanggam pasalte leh na pa inkote tengteng pilut vek in.

¹⁹and it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, -- his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be innocent; but every one who shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be upon our head, if any hand be upon him.

¹⁹Huan, hichi ahi dinga, na in kongpi akipana kholaka pawtkhia peuhmah amah lu tungah a sisan a om dia, kou a hihleh mohin ka om kei ding uh: huan, kuapeuh in sunga na kiang ua om peuhmah a tung ua khut a khak uhleh, ka lu tunguah a sisan uh a om ding hi.

²⁰And if thou make known this our business, we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

²⁰Himahleh ka thil hih uh na genkhiak leh non kichiam sakna ah mohin ka om kei ding uh, a chi ua.

²¹And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet line in the window.

²¹Huan, aman, Na thu bang jel uh hi leh ake, a chi a. Huchiin amau a paisaka, a paita ua: huan, tohlet ah khau san a gak den hi.

²²And they went, and came to the mountain, and remained there three days, until the pursuers had returned; and the pursuers sought them all the way, and found them not.

²²Huchiin a pai ua, huai tang a vatung ua, huailaiah ni thum, amau delhte a kiknawn masiah uh a vaom uh: delhmiten lam tawnin a zong ua, himahleh a mu zou kei uhi.

²³And the two men returned and came down from the mountain, and went over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him everything that had happened to them.

²³Huchiin huai mi nihte a kik nawn ua, huai tangakipan a pai suk ua, a galkah ua, Nun tapaJosua kiang a vatung ua; a tung ua thiltung tengteng a hilh uh.Huan, Josua kiangah, TOUPAN a gampumpi ikhut uah a honnape petmah ve, huai kia leng hilou, huai gama tengte tengteng I ma uah zul jel maimah uhi, a chi ua.

²⁴And they said to Joshua, Of a surety Jehovah has given the whole land into our hands, and even all the inhabitants of the land faint because of us.

²⁴Huan, Josua kiangah, TOUPAN a gampumpi ikhut uah a honnape petmah ve, huai kia leng hilou, huai gama tengte tengteng I ma uah zul jel maimah uhi, a chi ua.
