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.
1Joshua te BOEIPA loh, “Rhih boeh, rhihyawp boeh. Pilnam kah caemtloek boeih ke namah taengla lo lamtah Ai te paan hang laeh. Ai kah manghai neh a pilnam khaw, a khopuei neh a khohmuen khaw nang kut ah kan tloeng he so lah.
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.
2Te dongah Ai neh a manghai te Jerikho neh a manghai na saii bangla saii bal. A kutbuem neh a rhamsa te namamih ham poelyoe uh. Khopuei kah a hael ah namah kah rhongngol te khueh,” a ti nah.
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,
3Te dongah Joshua neh caemtloek pilnam boeih loh Ai te tloek ham thoo uh. Te vaengah Joshua loh tatthai hlangrhalh hlang thawng sawmthum te a coelh tih khoyin ah a tueih.
4And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
4Te phoeiah amih te a uen tih, “Khopuei hael ah khopuei aka rhongngol thil rhoek te nangmih loh so uh. Khopuei neh bahoeng lakhla uh boel lamtah hueltue la boeih om uh.
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:
5Kamah khaw kamah taengkah pilnam boeih long khaw khopuei ke m'paan uh pawn ni. Lamhma kah bangla mamih aka mah ham ha moe uh atah amih mikhmuh ah n'rhaelrham uh ni.
6Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
6Te vaengah khopuei lamkah mamih n'cing duela mamih hnuk han hloem uh saeh lamtah amih mikhmuh kah n'rhaelrham uh vaengah lamhma kah vanbangla, 'Mamih mikhmuh lamkah loh rhaelrham uh coeng, 'ti uh saeh.
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.
7Te vaengah nangmih loh rhongngol kung lamkah thoo uh lamtah khopuei te huul uh. BOEIPA na Pathen loh na kut dongah han tloeng bitni.
8And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
8Ana om saeh, khopuei te na loh uh vaengah khopuei te hmai neh hlup uh. BOEIPA kah olka bangla saii uh, so lah, nangmih te kang uen coeng,” a ti nah.
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,
9Te dongah Joshua kah a tueih rhoek te rhong la cet uh tih Ai khotlak kah Ai neh Bethel laklo ah ngol uh. Tedae tekah hlaem ah Joshua tah pilnam lakli ah rhaeh van.
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.
10Joshua khaw mincang ah thoo tih pilnam te a soep. Te phoeiah mah neh Israel a hamca rhoek tah Ai pilnam mikhmuh ah cet.
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.
11Pilnam caemtloek boeih loh a taengah cet uh tih thoeih uh. Khopuei hmai a pha uh vaengah Ai tlangpuei kolrhawk laklo, laklo neh Ai laklo ah rhaeh uh.
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:
12Te phoeiah hlang thawng nga tluk a khuen tih khopuei khotlak Bethel neh Ai laklo ah amih te rhongngol la a khueh.
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.
13Pilnam te khopuei tlangpuei rhaehhmuen boeih neh khopuei tuitun ah hnukdawn la tluep a khueh Joshua loh khoyin ah kol la cet.
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.
14Tedae Ai manghai loh a hmuh vaengah khopuei tongpa rhoek te baang thoo tih Israel mah ham caem la cet uh. A pilnam pum loh Arabah hmai kah tingtunnah ah om uh dae khopuei kah a hael ah a rhongngol thil te ming pawh.
15But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
15Amih mikhmuh ah Joshua neh Israel pum loh kolong uh tih khosoek long la rhaelrham uh.
16But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
16Te dongah amih hloem ham Ai khopuei kah pilnam pum te a hueh tih Joshua hnuk a hloem uh dongah khopuei lamloh bang cing uh.
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,
17Israel hnuk aka hloem mueh hlang te Ai neh Bethel ah om pawh. Khopuei te a ah oem la a hnoo uh tih Israel te a hloem uh.
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.
18BOEIPA loh Joshua taengah, “Na kut dongkah soe neh Ai ke nuen lah, na kut dongah kan tloeng bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Joshua loh khopuei ke a kut dongkah soe neh a nuen.
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.
19Te dongah rhongngol loh amah hmuen lamkah koe thoo tih a yong uh vaengah a kut te a phuel pah. Te vaengah khopuei la kun uh tih a buem uh. Khopuei te khaw hmai neh kuelh a hlup uh.
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.
20Ai kah hlang rhoek loh a hnuk la mael uh tih a hmuh uh vaengah khopuei kah hmaikhu loh vaan la tarha luei hang coeng. Tedae heben hebang la rhaelrham ham khaw a hmuen om voel pawt tih khosoek la aka rhaelrham pilnam long khaw a khuplet la han hloem coeng.
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.
21Rhongngol loh khopuei a buem tih khopuei kah hmaikhu a luei te Joshua neh Israel pum loh a hmuh vaengah Ai kah hlang rhoek te kuplet a tloek uh.
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.
22Amih mah ham khopuei lamkah aka coe rhoek te khaw he ben he bang la Israel loh a laklung ah a om sak uh. Te dongah amih te amah taengah rhaengnaeng neh hlangyong paih mueh la a ngawn uh.
23And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
23Tedae Ai manghai te a hing la a tuuk uh tih Joshua taengla a khuen uh.
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.
24Ai kah khosa boeih te Israel loh a ngawn tih a khah sak phoeiah te khosoek lohma kah te khaw a hloem uh tih cunghang ha neh boeih a cungku sak uh. Amih te a cing phoeiah Israel tah boeih mael uh tih Ai te cunghang ha neh a tloek uh.
25And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
25Tekah khohnin ah Ai kah hlang boeih tongpa lamloh huta hil thawng hlai nit la boeih cungku uh.
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.
26Ai kah khosa rhoek te boeih a thup hlan khuiah Joshua loh a kut a yueh mueh la soe neh a nuen.
27And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
27Tedae khopuei kah rhamsa neh a kutbuem tah BOEIPA loh Joshua a uen olka vanbangla Israel loh amamih ham a poelyoe uh.
28And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
28Te phoeiah Ai te Joshua loh a hoeh tih tihnin due, kumhal kah imrhong khopong la a khueh.
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.
29Ai manghai te khaw kholaeh tue due thing dongah a kuiok sak uh. Khomik a tlak vaengah tah Joshua loh a uen vanbangla thing dongkah a rhok te a hlak uh tih khopuei vongka kah thohka ah a voeih uh. Anih sokah lungto, lungkuk khaw tihnin due lungkuk la muep ngang.
30Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
30Te vaengah Joshua loh Israel Pathen BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk te Ebal tlang ah a suem.
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.
31BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh Israel ca rhoek a uen tih Moses kah olkhueng cabu dongah a daek vanbangla, hmueihtuk lung khaw a hmabuet la om tih thi hnonah pawh. Tekah soah BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah khaw a nawn uh tih rhoepnah hmueih khaw a nawn uh.
32And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
32Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a daek Moses olkhueng te rhaepnit la lungto dongah pahoi a daek.
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.
33Te vaengah Israel pum neh a hamca rhoek khaw, rhoiboei rhoek neh laitloek rhoek khaw BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng aka kawt Levi khosoih rhoek hmaikah thingkawng khatben khatbang ah pai uh. Lamhma ah Israel pilnam yoethen paek ham BOEIPA kah sal Moses a uen vanbangla Yinlai neh tolrhum mupoe loh Gerizim tlang hmai ah hlangvang, Ebal tlang hmai ah hlangvang om uh.
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.
34Te phoeiah olkhueng cabu khui ah boeih a daek vanbangla yoethennah neh rhunkhuennah olkhueng ol te boeih a hoe.
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.
35Moses kah a uen olka dongah aka om pawt boeih te tah Joshua loh Israel hlangping pum neh huta camoe taengah khaw, amih lakli ah aka pongpa yinlai taengah khaw hoe van pawh.
