Joshua 8
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1To pacoengah Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah, Zii hmah loe, palung doeh boeng hmah; angthawk ah, misatuh kaminawk boih to kawk loe, Ai vangpui tuk hanah caeh tahang ah; Ai vangpui ukkung siangpahrang, anih ih kaminawk, anih ih vangpui hoi a prae to na ban ah kang paek boeh.
1And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.
2Jeriko vangpui hoi a siangpahrang nuiah na sak o ih baktih toengah, Ai vangpui hoi siangpahrang nuiah doeh sah ah; toe na lomh o ih hmuen hoi moinawk loe nangmacae hanah sin oh; vangpui hnukbang ah misatoep kami to suem oh, tiah a naa.
2And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.
3To pongah Joshua loe angthawk moe, Ai vangpui to tuk hanah angmah ih misatuh kaminawk boih hoi nawnto caeh o; misatuk kop kami sang quithumto a qoih pacoengah, nihcae to aqum ah patoeh.
3And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,
4Joshua mah nihcae khaeah, Khenah, To vangpui to tuk hanah vangpui hnukbang ah misatoep kami to suem oh; vangpui hoi kangthla ah caeh o hmah; acoehaih hoiah om oh;
4And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
5kai hoi ka taengah om kaminawk boih loe, vangpui thungah ka caeh o han; canghniah vangpui kaminawk mah ang tuk o nathuem ih baktih toengah, nihcae mah kaicae tuk han angzoh o naah, kaicae loe nihcae hmaa ah ka cawnh pae o han,
5But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
6nihcae vangpui tasa bang tacawt o thai hanah, vangpui hoi kangthla ahmuen ah ka zoek o han; to naah nihcae mah, Canghni ih baktih toengah aicae hmaa ah a cawnh o boeh, tiah thui o tih: nihcae hmaa ah to tiah ka cawnh pae o han.
6Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
7To naah na ngang o haih ahmuen hoiah angthawk oh loe, vangpui to la oh; na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae ban ah paek tih.
7And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
8Vangpui na lak o pacoengah, hmai hoiah qoeng oh; Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah sah oh; khenah, kang paek ih lok na panoek o boeh, tiah a naa.
8And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
9To pacoeng ah Joshua mah nihcae to patoeh; nihcae loe misa angang hanah Bethel hoi Ai salak, Ai vangpui niduem bangah caeh o; toe Joshua loe to naduem ah kaminawk hoi nawnto oh.
9And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,
10Joshua loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, kaminawk to kroek; anih loe Israel kacoehtanawk hoi nawnto kaminawk hmaa ah, Ai vangpui ah caeh o tahang.
10And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
11Angmah khae kaom misatuh kaminawk boih hoi nawnto vangpui to anghnaih o thuih, vangpui hmabang ah phak o moe, Ai vangpui aluek bangah atai o; nihcae hoi Ai vangpui salakah azawn to oh.
11And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
12Ai vangpui niduem bang, vangpui hoi Bethel salakah misatoep kami suek hanah, kami sang pangato a kawk.
12And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:
13Misatuh kaminawk to vangpui aluek bangah a suek boih, vangpui niduem bangah doeh misa angang kaminawk to a suek; to na aqum ah Joshua loe azawn ah caeh.
13But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.
14Ai siangpahrang mah nihcae to hnuk naah, angmah hoi vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk boih loe khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, Israel kaminawk to tuk hanah atue khaehhaih atue to phak naah, karangah azawn ah caeh o; toe vangpui hnukbang ah angang kaminawk oh o, tiah anih mah panoek ai.
14And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
15Joshua hoi Israel kaminawk loe misatuk sung baktiah angsak o moe, nihcae mikhnuk ah praezaek loklam hoiah a cawnh o.
15But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
16Nihcae patom hanah Ai vangpui thung ih kaminawk boih angkawk o; vangpui thung hoiah tacawt o moe, Joshua to patom o.
16But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
17Ai vangpui hoi Bethel vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk thungah, Israel kaminawk patom ai kami maeto doeh om o ai; vangpui to tacawt o taak boih moe, Israel kaminawk to patom o.
17And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
18To naah Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah, Na ban ih tayae to Ai vangpui bangah phok ah; vangpui to na ban ah kang paek han boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah Joshua mah a ban ih angmah ih tayae to phok moe, vangpui bangah a ban to payangh.
18The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
19Joshua mah ban payangh naah, misa angang kaminawk loe angmacae ohhaih ahmuen hoiah karangah angthawk o, vangpui thungah akun o moe, vangpui to lak o pacoengah, hmai hoiah qoeng o.
19And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.
20Ai vangpui ih kaminawk hnukbang angqoi o naah, khenah, van ah angthawk tahang vangpui thung ih hmaikhue to a hnuk o; to naah nihcae loe kawbaktih loklam hoiah doeh loih thaihaih roe om ai boeh; praezaek ah kacawn Israel kaminawk mah nihcae patom vangpui kaminawk to patom o moe, hum o.
20And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
21Misa angang kaminawk mah vangpui to lak o boeh moe, van ah angthawk tahang hmaikhue to Joshua hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah hnuk o naah, amlaem o moe, Ai vangpui ih kaminawk to hum o.
21So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
22Misa angang kaminawk doeh vangpui thungah akun o moe, vangpui kaminawk to tuk o; Israel kaminawk mah ahnuk ahmaa hoiah tuk o pongah, nihcae loe aum ah oh o sut; Israel kaminawk mah nihcae to hum o; maeto doeh pathlung o ai, maeto doeh loih o sak ai.
22And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
23Toe Ai siangpahrang loe kahing ah naeh o moe, Joshua khaeah caeh o haih.
23And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
24Israel kaminawk mah Ai vangpui ih kaminawk to patom o moe, taw hoi praezaek ah hum o boih; nihcae to sumsen hoiah hum o boih pacoengah, Israel kaminawk loe Ai vangpui hoi amlaem o let moe, vangpui thung kaom kaminawk boih sumsen hoiah hum o.
24So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
25To na niah nongpa hoi nongpata sang hatlai hnetto a hum o; Ai vangpui ah kaom kaminawk loe duek o boih.
25And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
26Ai vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk hum boih ai karoek to, Joshua mah a ban to phok, payangh ih tayae to azuk let ai.
26But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
27Toe Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk mah vangpui thungah pacah ih moinawk hoi hmuenmaenawk boih to angmacae han lak o.
27And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
28Joshua mah Ai vangpui to hmai hoiah qoeng o, to ahmuen loe vaihni ni khoek to kamro hmuenmae tapophaih ahmuen ah oh.
28And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
29Ai vangpui siangpahrang to duembang khoek to, thing pongah a bangh; duembang phak naah loe anih ih qok to lak moe, vangpui khongkha taengah vah sut hanah, Joshua mah lokpaek; anih ih qok nuiah kalen parai thlung to tapop o; to tiah tapop ih thlung to vaihni ni khoek to oh vop.
29And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
30To naah Joshua mah Ebal mae ah Israel Angraeng Sithaw hanah hmaicam maeto sak.
30Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
31Israel kaminawk hanah Angraeng ih tamna Mosi mah paek ih lok baktih, Mosi kaalok cabu pongah tarik ih baktih toengah, anih mah hmaicam maeto sak; to hmaicam loe mi mah doeh sum hoi takhuek vai ai ih thlung, ahmaa om ai thlung hoiah a sak; to hmaicam nuiah Angraeng hanah hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to a sak.
31As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.
32Israel kaminawk mikhnukah, Joshua mah to thlung nuiah Mosi mah paek ih kaalok to tarik pakong let.
32And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
33Israel kaminawk tahamhoihaih paek hanah, Angraeng ih tamna Mosi khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk boih, angraengnawk, kacoehtanawk, lokcaekkungnawk, nihcae salakah tapen kaminawk doeh, Levi acaeng qaimanawk mah aput o ih Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong hae bang hoi ho bangah angdoet o; qaimanawk loe aum ah angdoet o; kami ahap Gerizim mae bangah angdoet o moe, kami ahap Ebal mae bangah angdoet o.
33And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.
34To pacoengah kaaloknawk boih, kaalok cabu thungah tarik ih loknawk baktih toengah, tahamhoihaih hoi tangoenghaih to Joshua mah kroek pae.
34After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.
35Joshua loe Mosi mah paek ih lok maeto doeh tahmat ai; Israel kaminawk, nongpatanawk, nawktanawk hoi nihcae khae kaom angvinnawk hmaa ah kroek pae boih.
35He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.
