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.

¹And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

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

²And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.

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

³And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.

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:

⁴And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:

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.

⁵And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.

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

⁶But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.

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

⁷And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.

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

⁸And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;

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.

⁹And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

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.

¹⁰For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

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.

¹¹And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

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

¹²Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:

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.

¹³And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

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.

¹⁴And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

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

¹⁵Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

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.

¹⁶And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

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

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

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.

¹⁸Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.

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.

¹⁹And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

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

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

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.

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

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.

²²And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.

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.

²³So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:

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.

²⁴And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
