¹Huan, Josua jing khangin a thoua, Israel suante tengteng toh Sitim munakipan a kisuan ua, Jordan lui a vatung uhi: a galkah ma un huailaiah a giakuh.

¹And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.

²Huan, hichi ahi a, ni thum nungin heututen giahmun a vatawn velvel ua,

²And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;

³TOUPA na Pathian uh thukhun bawm leh siampute Levi chiten a jawn lai uh na muh hun chiang un na omna ua kipan kisuan unla, na jui ding uhi.

³And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.

⁴Ahihhangin nou toh a kal teha tong sangnih hiam ahi ding ahi: naih kei unla, huchiin na paina ding uh lampi na thei thei ding uhi; hiai lampi lahtuma lamin na tawn nai ngal kei ua, chiin mipite thu a pia uhi.

⁴Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

⁵Huchiin Josuain mipite kiangah, Kihihsiangthou un, jingchianga Toupan na lak ua thillamdang mahmah hih sin ahi, a chi ua.

⁵And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

⁶Huan, Josuain siampute kiangah, Thukhun bawm jawng unla, mipite maah galkah un, chiin a gen a. Huchiin thukhun bawm a jawng ua, mipite ma a paita uhi.

⁶And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

⁷Huan, TOUPAN Josua kiangah, Mosi kianga ka om bangin na kiangah leng ka om ding chih a theih theihna ding un tuniin Israelte tengteng mitmuhin ka honpahtawi pan sin hi.

⁷And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.

⁸Huan, thukhun bawm jawng siampute, Jordan lui gei na tun hun chiang un, Jordan ah ding thek un, chiin thu piain, a chi a.

⁸And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.

⁹Huan, Josuain Israel suante kiangah Hongpai unla, TOUPA na Pathian uh thu hongngaikhia un, a chi a.

⁹And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.

¹⁰Huan, Josuain, Hiaiah Pathian hing na lak uah a oma, na ma uah Kanan-te, Hitte Hiv-te, Periz-te, Girgas-te, Amor-te, Jebus-te a delhkhe ngeingei sin ahi chih na thei ding uh.

¹⁰And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

¹¹Ngai un, lei pumpi Toupa thukhun bawmin na ma uah Jordan lui a kan hi.

¹¹Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.

¹²Huchiin Israel namte laka mi sawm leh nih nam chih sikin mi khat jel telkhia un.

¹²Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.

¹³Huan, hichi ahi dinga, TOUPA lei pumpi Toupa bawm jawng siampute khepek Jordan tuia a kingak takin, Jordan tui, saklam akipana tui hongluangte a kitat dinga; huchiin a hongkiching venvon ding, a chi a.

¹³And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

¹⁴Huan, hichi ahi a, mipite Jordan lui kan dinga a puanin ua kipana a pawt lai un, thukhun bawm jawng siampute mipite maah a pai ua;

¹⁴And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;

¹⁵Bawm jawngte Jordan lui a vatung ua, bawm jawng siampute khein tui gei a sik takin, (buh lak sung teng Jordan lui a kuang tengteng ah a let gige naka, )

¹⁵And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)

¹⁶Saklam akipana tui hongluang khe lai a khawlta a, gamla kuam taka Zarethan gam china Adam khua ah a hongkiching venvon a: huan, Araba tuipi, Tuipi Al lama luang suk lai a kitat geiha: huchiin mipite Jeriko kho jawn takah a galkahta uhi.Huan, TOUPA thukhun bawm jawng siampute Jordan lui laiah, lei hulah a ding ua, huan, mipite tengtengin Jordan lui a galkah vek uhi.

¹⁶That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

¹⁷Huan, TOUPA thukhun bawm jawng siampute Jordan lui laiah, lei hulah a ding ua, huan, mipite tengtengin Jordan lui a galkah vek uhi.

¹⁷And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
