¹Now it happened when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

¹Huan, hichi ahia, Jerusalem kho kumpipa Adoni-zedekin josuain Ai khua a laa, a hihgawpa, Jeriko khua leh a kumpipa uh a hihsiat bangin Ai khua leh a kumpipa uh leng a hihse gawpa, Gibeon khuaa miten Israelte toh kilepna a bawl ua, a lak uah a teng tei sam uh chih a jak un, a lauta mahmah ua;

²that they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

²Gibeon khua bel lian pi kumpipa khopi bang ahi ngala, Ai khua sangin a thupijawa, a mihing tengteng lah hattak ahi ngal ua.

³Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,

³Huchiin Jerusalem kumpipa Adoni-zedekin Hebron kho kumpipa Hoham te, Jermuth kho kumpipa piram te, Lakis kho kumpipa Japhi te, Eglon kho kumpipa Debir tekhawng,

⁴“Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.”

⁴Hongpai unla, hongpanpih un, Gibeon i vasual ding uh: Josua leh Israel suante toh kilepna a bawlta ngal ua; chiin a thukhak khawma.

⁵Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.

⁵Huchiin Amorte kumpipa ngate Jerusalem kho kumpipa te, Hebron kho kumpipa te, Jermuth kho kumpipa te, Lakis kho kumpipa te, Eglon kho kumpipa a kikhawm khawm ua, a sepaihte tengteng utoh a vahoh tou ua, Gibeon kho jawnah giahbuk a sat ua, a sualta uh.

⁶The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.”

⁶Huan, Gibeonten a giahmun Gilgal ah, Josua kiangah mi a sawl ua, Na sikhate donsaklou ken; kintakin ka kiang uah hong tou inla, honghondam inla, hong panpihin: singtang gama teng Amor kumpipate honsual dingin a kikhawm meumou uh, chiin.

⁷So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

⁷Huchiin Josua leh a kianga galkapthei mi tengteng leh mi hat hangsan tengteng Gilgal akipanin a hoh tou ua.

⁸Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.”

⁸Huan, TOUPAN Josua kiangah, Amaute kihta het ken: na khut ah ka honpe khinta hi; a lak ua mi kuamah na maa ding ding a om kei uhi, a chi a.

⁹Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from Gilgal all night.

⁹Huchiin Josuain a sual guiha; jankhuaa Gilgal akipana nanahoh tousa ahi a.

¹⁰Yahweh confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.

¹⁰Huan, TOUPAN Israelte maah amaute a hihbuai gawpta a, Gibeon khua ah tampi a thata, Beth-horon zottouhna lampi lamah a delha, Azek leh Maked kho phain a that jel.

¹¹It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that Yahweh cast down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than who the children of Israel killed with the sword.

¹¹Huan, hichi ahi a, Israelte maa a taikek ua, Beth-horon akipana paisukna muna a om lai un TOUPAN van akipanin gial lian pipi a tunguah Azek kho phain a kesaka, a si uh: Israel suanten namsaua a satlup sang un gial denlup a tamjaw uhi.

¹²Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!”

¹²Huchiin TOUPAN Amorte Israel suante a piak niin Josuain TOUPA kiangah thu a gen a; Israelte mitmuhin, Ni, Gibeon kho tungah ding nilouhin; kha, nang leng, Aijalon guam ah om nilouhin, a chi a.

¹³The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.

¹³Huchiin miten a melmate uh tunga phu a lak masiah uh ni a ding kinkena, kha leng a om nilouh hi. Hiai thu Jasar laibua gelh hilou hia? Huchiin ni vanlai ah a om nilouha, ni khat vengveng tum thu himhim a ngaihtuah kei hi.

¹⁴There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.

¹⁴TOUPAN huchibanga mihing aw a ngaihkhiak ni bangin a main ni himhim a om ngeikeia, a nungin leng a om ngei sam kei: TOUPAN Israelte a doupih lah ahi ngala.

¹⁵Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.

¹⁵Huan, Josua leh Israelte a giahmun uh Gilgal ah a kik nawn vek uhi.

¹⁶These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁶Huan, huai kumpipa ngate a taimang ua, Maked kokhuk ah a bu ua.

¹⁷Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”

¹⁷Huan, Kumpipa ngate a mu ua, Maked kokhuk ah a bu uhi, chiin a hilh ua.

¹⁸Joshua said, “Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them;

¹⁸Huchiin Josuain, Kokhuk kamah suang lian pipi khuk unla, a vengmite leng omsak un:

¹⁹but don’t stay. Pursue your enemies, and them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.”

¹⁹Noute bel om kei unla: na melmate uh delh jel unla, huai nungdalte that unla; a khua himhim uah lutsak kei un: TOUPA na Pathian un na khut uah amau lah a honpeta ngala, a chi a.

²⁰It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

²⁰Huan, hichi ahi a, Josua leh Israel suanten a bei masiah ua a thahthah khit un, a omte kulhpi nei khuatea a tailut khit un,

²¹that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

²¹Mi tengteng Josua kianglamah Makeda ah galmuang takin a hongpai nawn ua: kuamahin Israel suante demna dingin a lei uh a lok kei uhi.

²²Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”

²²Huchiin Josuain, kokhuk kam hong un la, huai kumpipa ngate kokhuk akipan ka kiangah honpi un, a chi a.

²³They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

²³Huan, hichibangin a hih ua, huai kumpipa nga Jerusalem kho kumpipa, Hebron kho kumpipa, Jermuth kho kumpipa, Lakis kho kumpipa, Eglon kho kumpipa te kokhuk akipan a kiangah a honpi uh.

²⁴It happened, when they brought those kings out to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, and put their feet on their necks.

²⁴Huan, hichi ahia, huai kumpipate Josua kiangah a honpi uh, Josuain Israelte tengteng a samkhawma, amah toh kuan gal kap thei mite laka heutu deuhdeuhte kiangah, Hongpai nai unla, hiai kumpipate ngawng sik un, a chi a. Huchiin a hongpai nai ua, a ngawng uh a hongsik sak uhi.

²⁵Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for Yahweh will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight.”

²⁵Huan, Josuain a kiang uah, Lau kei unla, lunglel sam kei un; hattak leh hangtakin om un: na dou uh na melmate uh tengteng tungah TOUPAN hichibangin a hih jel sin hi, a chi a.

²⁶Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.

²⁶Huan, huai khitin Josuain a suala, a hihluma, sing nga dawnah a khai: huchiin nitaklam tanin sing dawnah a kikhai uhi.

²⁷It happened at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.

²⁷Huan, hichi ahi a, ni tum kuanin Josuain thu a pia a, sing dawn akipan a lakhia ua, a bukna kokhuk uah a pailut ua, a kokhuk kam suang lian pipiin a sin ua, tutanin leng a om lailai.

²⁸Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

²⁸Huan, Josuain huai niin makeda khua a laa, a kumpipa uh nasanin namsauin a suala; huai khuaa om tengteng toh a hihlum keuhkeuha, khat lel leng hawi a neikei: huchiin Jeriko kho kumpipa tunga a hih mahbangin Makeda kho kumpipa tungah leng a hih hi.

²⁹Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.

²⁹Huan, Josua Israelte tengteng toh Makeda khua akipanin Libna kholamah a pai ua, Libna khua a sual uh:

³⁰Yahweh delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

³⁰Huchiin TOUPAN huai khua kumpipa nasan un Israelte khut ah a pe nawn leuleua; huan, huaikhua sualin a sunga om tengteng a hihlum veka; a sunga mi khat mahmah leng hawi a neikei hi; huchiin Jeriko kho kumpipa tungah leng a hih.

³¹Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.

³¹Huan, Josua Israelte tengteng toh Libna khua akipan Lakis kho lamah a pai ua, panmun a khoh ua, a sual ua:

³²Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

³²Huchiin TOUPAN Lakis khua Israelte khut ah a piaa, a ni nih niin a laa, huai khua sualin a sunga om tengteng namsauin a hihlum veka, Libna kho tunga a hih bangin.

³³Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

³³Huchin Bezer kho kumpipa Horam Lakis khua panpih dingin a hoh toua; huan, Josuain amah leh a heute nasan khat mahmah leng hawi louin a that gam hi.

³⁴Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it fought against it.

³⁴Huan, Josua Israelte tengteng toh Lakis khua akipan Eglon kho lamah apai ua, panmun a khoh ua; a sual ua;

³⁵They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

³⁵Huan, huai niin a la ua, huan, huai nimahin huai khua sualin a sunga om tengtengnamsauin a hihlum sipsipa. Lakis kho tunga a hihbangin.

³⁶Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.

³⁶Huan, Josua Israelte tengteng toh Eglon khua akipanin Hebron kho lamah a pai ua; a sual ua:

³⁷They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.

³⁷Huchiin a la ua, huai khua leh a kumpipa uh leh, a khopel tengteng leh, a suanga om tengteng namsaua sualin a hihlum veka, Eglon kho tunga hih bangin khat mahmah leng hawi a neikeia; a khua nangawn hihse vekin a sunga om tengteng a hihlum sipsip hi.

³⁸Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.

³⁸Huan, Josua leh Israelte tengteng Debir kho lamah a kihei nawn ua; a sual ua:

³⁹He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.

³⁹Huchiin huai khua leh, a kumpipa uh leh a khopel tengteng a la ua; huan, namsauin a sual ua, a sunga om tengteng a hihlum keuhkeuh ua; khat mahmah leng hawi a neikei: Hebron kho tunga a hih bangin Debir khua leh a kumpipa uh tunga hih bangin.

⁴⁰So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded.

⁴⁰Huchiin Josuain a gam pumpiin tanggamte, simgamte, tanghap gamte hihse vekin a kumpipa tengteng uh a hihlumveka: khat mahmah hawi a neikei: TOUPA, Israelte Pathian thupiak bangin a hing peuhmah a hihchimit gawp hi.

⁴¹Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.

⁴¹Huan, josuain Kadeshbarnea akipana Gaza phain, Gosen gam tengteng toh Gibeon phain a hihse veka.

⁴²Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

⁴²Huai kumpipate tengteng leh a gam uh TOUPA, Israelte Pathianin Israelte a doupih jiakin, Josuain hun khata a mat vek ahi uhi.Huan, Josua leh Israelte tengteng a giahmun Gilgal ah a kiknawn vek uhi.

⁴³Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.

⁴³Huan, Josua leh Israelte tengteng a giahmun Gilgal ah a kiknawn vek uhi.
