¹It happened, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

¹Huan, hichi ahi a, Jordan lui khen suahlama om Amorte kumpipa tengteng leh tuipi geia om kanan gam kumpipa tengtengten a galkah masiah uh TOUPAN Jordan tuite Israel suante maah a kangtatsak chih a najak un, Israel suante jiakin a lungtang uh a nazul khina, laugtang uh a nazul khina, lauthawng lou himhim a om kei uhi.

²At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.”

²Huchihlaiin TOUPAN Josua kiangah, Meisuang temta bawl inla, Israel suante Zek a nihveina sumsak nawn in, a chi a.

³Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

³Huan, Josuain meisuang temtate a bawla, Israel suante Gibeth-haraloth ah a zek uh a sumsak hi.

⁴This is the reason Joshua circumcised: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.

⁴Josuain azek uh a sumna san hiai ahi: Aigupta gam akipana pawtte tengteng, pasal galkapmi tengteng Aigupta gam akipan a pawtkhiak nung un lamkalah gamdai ah a si khinta ua ahi.

⁵For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

⁵Aigupta gam akipan pawtte tengteng bel zek sumsa vek ahi ua: himahleh Aigupta gam akipan a pawt ua gamdaia lamkala piang tengteng bel zeksum ahi tei kei uhi.

⁶For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the voice of Yahweh. Yahweh swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which Yahweh swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁶TOUPAaw a ngaihkhiak nop louh jiak ua mipite tengteng, Aigupta gam akipan hongpawt galkapmite tana hihmana a om vek tan un Israel suante gamdai ah kum sawmill hial a vialvak ua: TOUPAN amau pilepute kianga nawitui leh khuaijua luanna gam kichiam honpiak a nachiam ngei, huai gam mu lou dingaTOUPAN a kiang ua achiam ahi.

⁷Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.

⁷Huchiin a suante uh amau sika a phuhte Josuain a zek uh a sum sak: lamkala a zek uh sum a hih louh jiakin zek sum louh ana hihim uhi.

⁸It happened, when they were done circumcising all the nation, that they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.

⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, mipite tengteng zek a sum khit un, a dam mateng uh amau giahmun chiat uah a om uh.

⁹Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, “Gilgal” sounds like the Hebrew for “roll.” to this day.

⁹Huan, TOUPAN Josua kiangah, Tuniin Aiguptaten nou a honmuhsitna uh noumau akipanin ka khuk mangta hi, a chi a. Huchiin tu tanin huai mun tuh Gilgal a chi uhi.

¹⁰The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

¹⁰Huan, Israel suanten Gilgal ahommun a bawl ua; huan, Jeriko phaijang khawngah ni li ni, nitakin Paikan a kipahpih uhi.

¹¹They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.

¹¹Huan, Paikan khit a jing mahmahin huai gama tanghou silngou sohlouh leh vaimim kan a ne ua.

¹²The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

¹²Huan, huai gama buh a nek jing ua kipanin manna a ke ta kei a; Israel suanten manna leng a mu ngei nawnta kei uhi; huai kumin kanan gam a buh leh bal a ne zota uhi.

¹³It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him, and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?”

¹³Huan, hichi ahi a, Josua Jeriko kho kiang china a om lain a daka, a entou a, huan, ngaiin, a ma jawn chin ah mi khat a namsau phawisa tawiin a nadinga: huan, Josuain a vajuana, a kiangah, Ka lam ua pang na hia, ka melmate uh lama pang? a chi a.

¹⁴He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”

¹⁴Huan, aman, Hi lou e, TOUPA sepaihte heutu dia hong ka hi jaw I, a chi a. Huchiin Josua leiah a khupboha, chibai a buka, a kiangah, Ka toupan a sikha kiangah bang gen ding a nei aleh? A chi a.Huan, TOUPA sepaihte heutuin Josua kiangah, Na khepek akipan na khedap phelin; na dinna mun a siangthou ahi, achia. Huchiin Josuain a phelta hi.

¹⁵The prince of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.

¹⁵Huan, TOUPA sepaihte heutuin Josua kiangah, Na khepek akipan na khedap phelin; na dinna mun a siangthou ahi, achia. Huchiin Josuain a phelta hi.
