1Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
1(Jeriko khua Israel suante jiakin a kikhak bibkbeka: kuamah a pawt kei ua, kuamah lah a lut sam kei uh. )
2Yahweh said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
2Huan, TOUPAN Josua kiangah, Enin, Jeriko leh a kumpipa uh leh mi hat hangsante na khut ah ka honpe khinta.
3All your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
3Huan, galkapmi tengtengin khopi kimvelin khatvei na vavel suak phot ding ua. Huchibanga ni guk na hih ding uh ahi.
4Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
4Huan, siampu sagihin bawm malamah belampa ki pengkul sagih a tawi ding ua, huan, a ni sagih niin khopi sagih vein a vel suak ding ua, huan, siamputen pengkul a mut ding uh.
5It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.”
5Huan, hichi ahi dinga, belampa ki a mut ging na jak u leh, mipi tengteng ngaihtakin kikou juajua uhen; huchiin khopi kulh achim zoi dinga, mipi bel amau ma jawn chiatah a paitou ding ua, a chi a.
6Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh.”
6Huan, Nun tapa Josuain siampute a sama, akiang uah, Thukhun bawm jawng unla, siampu sagihin TOUPA bawm malamah belampa ki pengkul sagih tawi uhen, a chi a.
7They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh’s ark.”
7Huan, aman mipite kiangah, Pai jel unla, khopi vel suak un, huan, mi kigalvante TOUPA bawm ma lamah pai jel uhen, a chi a.
8It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed them.
8Huan, huchibang a honghita, Josuain mipite kianga thu a gen khitin TOUPA maa balampa ki pengkul sagih tawi siampu sagihte a pai jel ua, pengkul a mut ua: TOUPA thukhun bawmin a jui hi.
9The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
9Huan, mi kigalvante pengkul mut siampute maah a pai ua, huan, nungdalmiten bawm a masuan ua, siamputen pai kawmin pengkul a mut jel uh.
10Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
10Huan, Josuain mipite, Kikou kei unla, na aw u leng jak hi kei hen, kikou dinga thu ka honpiak ni a tun mateng na kam ua kipanin thu himhim pawt kei hen: huai hun chiangin na kikou ding uhi, chiin thu a pia a.
11So he caused the ark of Yahweh to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
11Huchiin TOUPA bawm tuh khopi khatvei velhin a vel suak saka: huan, giahmun ah a pai ua, giahmun ah a giak nawn leuleu uhi.
12Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Yahweh.
12Huan, Josua jing khangin a thou a, siamputen TOUPA bawm a jawng uh.
13The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the ark of Yahweh. The trumpets sounded as they went.
13Huan, TOUPA bawm maa belampa ki pengkul sagih tawi siampu sagihte a pai jel ua, pengkul a mut ua: huan, mi kigalvante a ma uah a pai ua: huan, nungdalten TOUPA bawm a honmasuan ua, siamputen a pai kawm un pengkul amut jel uhi.
14The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
14Huan, a ni nih niin khopikhatvei a vel suak nawn ua, giahmun ah a kik nawn ua: huchibangin ni guk a hih uhi.
15It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.
15Huan, hichi ahia, a ni sagih niin jingkhang, phalvakin a thou ua, a hihdan ngeimah un sagih vei a vel suak ua: huai phetin khopi sagih vei a vel suak uhi.
16It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for Yahweh has given you the city!
16Huan, hichi ahi a, a sagih veinaa siamputen pengkul a honmut uleh Josuain mipite kiangah, kikou un: TOUPAN Khopi a honpe khinta hi.
17The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
17Khopi a sunga thil om tengteng nagawn toh TOUPA adia muhdah vek ding ahi; Rahab kijuaknu kia, amah leh in sunga a kianga om tengteng bel I mi sawlte a nasel sim jiakin hawi ding ahi uh.
18But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so would you make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
18Nou jaw huai thil muhdah akipanin kihuikhe hiau un, huchilouin jaw na muhdah sa uh nungin thil muhdah na la kha ding uh, Israelte giahmun thil muhdah dingin na bawl maijen ding ua, mangbatna na tun kha maijen ding uhi.
19But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh’s treasury.”
19Dangkasikte, dangkaengte, dal leh sik tuiumbelsuante bel TOUPA tuam ahi vek ahi: Toupa sum ina koih ding ahi ding, a chi a.
20So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. It happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
20Huchiin mipite a kikou ua, siamputen pengkul a mut ua: huan, hichi ahi a, mipiten pengkul ging a jak tak un mipite a kikou juajua ua, kulh a chim zoizoia, huchiin mipite amau majawn chiat uah a pai tou ua, khopi ah a lut ua, khopi a lata uhi.
21They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
21Huan, khopi sunga mi tengteng-numei pasal, a neu a lian bawngpate, belamte, sabengtungte toh namsauin a hihlum keuhkeuh uhi.
22Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her.”
22Huan, Josuain huai mi nih gam vaenkhete kiangah, Hua kijuaknu in ah valut unla, a kianga na nakichiamsa bang un huai numei a neih tengteng toh honpi khia un, a chi a.
23The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
23Huan, enkhemi tangvalte a valut ua, Rahab toh, a pa toh a nut oh, a sangampate toh, a neih tengteng toh a honpi khia ua, a tanau unaute tengteng leng a honpi khia ua: Israelte giahmun polamah a omsak uh.
24They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh’s house.
24Huan, Khopi pen a sunga thil om tengteng toh meiin a hal vek ua: dangkasikte, dangkaengte, sumeng leh sik tuiumbelsuante kia TOUPA sumin ah a koih uh.
25But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
25Ahihhangin Rahab kijuaknu leh a neih tengteng leh a pa inkuante Josuain a hawi veka; huchiin Israelte lakah tutanin a tel lailai hi; Jeriko khua enkhe dinga Josuain a mi sawlte a nasel sim jiakin.
26Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before Yahweh, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates.”
26Huan, huailaiin Josuain, Hiai Jeriko khopi honlamkhemi peuhmah TOUPA maah hamsethuakin om hen: a ta masa tanin a suangphum a phum dinga, a ta tumpen tanin a kulh kongpite a lam ding, chiin amau a hilh chiatchiat hi.Huchiin TOUPA Josua kiangah a oma; huan, a gam pumpi ah a min a hongthangta hi.
27So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
27Huchiin TOUPA Josua kiangah a oma; huan, a gam pumpi ah a min a hongthangta hi.
