1But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against the children of Israel.
1Himahleh Israel suanten thil muhdah ah thil a honhilhkhial ta ua: Juda nama Zera ta Zabdi, huai tapa Karmi, huai tapa Akanin thil muhdah akipan a nalataa: huchiin Israel suante tungah TOUPA a hehta hi.
2Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the land.” The men went up and spied out Ai.
2Huan, Josuain Jeriko khua akipanin Bethel suahlam Bethaven chin Ai khua ah mi a sawla, a kiang uah, Vahoh tou unla, gam vaenkhia un, chiin a gen a. Huan, mite a vahoh tou ua, Ai khua a vaenkhia uh.
3They returned to Joshua, and said to him, “Don’t let all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Don’t make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them.”
3Huan, Josua kiangah a kik nawn ua, a kiangah, Mi tengteng hoh tou chitchiat dah le uh; mi sang nih hiam sang thum hiam khawng vahoh tou uhenla, Ai khua sual le uh; mi tengteng vahihgim touh chitchiat ding ahi kei; tawmchik kia ahi ngal ua, a chi ua.
4So about three thousand men of the people went up there, and they fled before the men of Ai.
4Huchiin mipi laka mi sang thum hiam huaiah a hoh tou uh: huan, Aite maah a hongtai kek ua.
5The men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them, and they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck them at the descent. The hearts of the people melted, and became like water.
5Huan, Aiten mi sawmthum leh guk hiam mahmah a nathat ua: kulh kongpi chin akipanin Sebarim pha hialin a hondelh ua, a thumsukna uah a that ek ua: huan, mite lungtang a zul khina, tui banglel a honghi uh.
6Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
6Huan, Josuain a puante a botkeka, TOUPA bawm maah amah leh Israelte upate a mai ua lei siin nitaklam tanin a khupboh uh; huan, a lu uah leivui a buak uh.
7Joshua said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived beyond the Jordan!
7Huan, Josuain, Maizen, TOUPA Pathian aw, bangdingin ahia, kou mipite hihmanthat dinga Amorte khuta piak dinga Jordan lui na honpi galkai mahmah? Jordan lui gala lungkim taka om hiathiat jawktak ding aw!
8Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!
8TOUPA aw, hichia melmate delha Israelte a taikek mawk uh bang ka lohta dia oi?
9For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?”
9kanante leh hiai lai gama teng tengtengin a za ding ua, a honum ding ua, lei akipana ka min uh hihmangthang ding eita ve ua; na min thupi tak bang na chihta dial leh? a chi a.
10Yahweh said to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you fallen on your face like that?
10Huan, TOUPAN Josua kiangah, Thouin, Bang achia Khupboh nilouh na hia?
11Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. They have even put it among their own stuff.
11Israelten thil a hihkhial ua ahi; ahi, ka thukhun pom dinga thu ka piak a tatleksan ua ahi; ahi, thil muhdah akipan leng a la nalai ua ahi; a gu nalai ua, a sim im behlap ua, amau van lak mahmah a sim sel uh hi.
12Therefore the children of Israel can’t stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.
12Huaijiakin ahi Israel suanten a melmate a zoh theihlouh uh, muhdah thil a honghih jiak uh ahi melmate delha a taikek uh: thil muhdah pen na lak ua kipana na hihman phot kei uleh na kiang uah ka om sinta kei hi.
13“Get up! Sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, “There is a devoted thing in the midst of you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted thing from among you.”
13Thou inla, mipite hihsiangthou phot mai in, huan, a kiang uah, Jingchiang adingin kihihsiangthou un: TOUPA Israelte Pathianin, Israelte aw, na lak ua muhdah thil a oma ahi: na lak ua kipana muhdah thil na lakmang masiah uh na melmate uh na zou theikei ding uh.
14“‘In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which Yahweh selects shall come near by families. The family which Yahweh selects shall come near by households. The household which Yahweh selects shall come near man by man.
14Huchiin jingchiangin a chichi-a hongkilat sak ding uh ahi: Huan, hichi ahi dinga, TOUPAN huai chi a namat pen a namnama na na honkilat nawn ding uh ahi; huan, TOUPAN huai nam a namat pen a inkuankuan ua na hongkilat nawn ding uh ahi: huan, TOUPAN huai inkuan a namat pen a malmalin na hongkilat nawn ding uh ahi.
15It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”
15Huan, hichi ahi dinga, kuapeuh muhdah thil nala peuhmah amah leh a neih tengteng meia hal vek ding ahi ding: TOUPA thukhun a tatleksan jiak leh, Israelte laka thil gilou haihuaitak a hih jiakin, a chi ahi, na chi ding uh, a chi a.
16So Joshua rose up early in the morning and brought Israel near by their tribes. The tribe of Judah was selected.
16Huchiin Josua jingkhangin a thoua, Israelte a chichiin a hongkilang saka; huan, juda chite mat a honghita ua;
17He brought near the family of Judah; and he selected the family of the Zerahites. He brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was selected.
17Huan, Juda namte a hongkilang sak nawna: huan, Zer namte a namana: Huan, Zerte inkuante a malmalin a hongkilang nawn ua; huan, Zabdi mat a nahi:
18He brought near his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected.
18Huan, a inkuante a malmalin a hongkilang sak nawna: huchiin Juda chia Zer tapa Abadi, huai tapa karmi, huai tapa Akan mat a honghita hi.
19Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please give glory to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done! Don’t hide it from me!”
19Huan, Josuain Akan kiangah, Ka tapa, TOUPA Israelte Pathian phatin aw; a kiangah kigen sukin; na thilhih honhilh dih; kei lakah im ken, a chi a.
20Achan answered Joshua, and said, “I have truly sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done.
20Huan, Akanin Josua a dawnga, a kiangah, TOUPA Israelte Pathian tungah thil ka nahihkhialta ngei ngut hi, hichibangin ahi ka nahih:
21When I saw among the spoil a beautiful Babylonian robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Behold, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with the silver under it.”
21Gallak laka Babulon puan hoihtak leh, dangka sekel za nih leh dangkaeng tang sekel sawmnga buk ka mua, ka enlah luaa, ka lata mai hi; huan, ngaiin, ka puanin sunga leia guksel ahia, dangka pen huai nuaiah a om, a chi a.
22So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. Behold, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.
22Huchiin Josuain mite a sawla, puanin sungah a vatai ua; huan, ngaiin, a puanin ah guksel ahi ngeia, a nuaiah dangka a om hi.
23They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. They laid them down before Yahweh.
23Huchiin puanin sung akipan a laa, Josua leh Israel suante tengteng kiangah a hontawi ua; huan amau TOUPA maah a koih uh.
24Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.
24Huan, Josua leh Israelte tengteng Zer tapa Akan dangkate, puante, dangkaeng tangte, a tapate, a tanute, a bawngpate, a sabengtungte, a belamte, a puaninte leh a neih tengtengte toh a pi ua: Akor guam ah a pai touh pih uhi.
25Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? Yahweh will trouble you this day.” All Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.
25Huan, Josuain, Bangdinga honhihmangbang na hia? TOUPAN tuniin nang leng honhihmangbang sam ding eive, a chi a. Huchiin Israelte tengtengin amah suangin a deng ua; huan, amau meiin a hal ua, suangin a deng uh.Huan, a tungah suang achiang vum ngehngoh ua, tutanin a omlai; huan, TOUPAN a heh petmahna tuh a kiheisan a. Huchiin huai mun min dingin tutanin Akor guam a chi lailai uh.
26They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Yahweh turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called “The valley of Achor” to this day.
26Huan, a tungah suang achiang vum ngehngoh ua, tutanin a omlai; huan, TOUPAN a heh petmahna tuh a kiheisan a. Huchiin huai mun min dingin tutanin Akor guam a chi lailai uh.
