< Joshua 10 >

1 Jerusalem lengpa Adoni-Zedek hin Joshua’n Jericho khopi le alengpau asuhmang banga Ai leh alengpau asuhmanghel chu ajadohtan ahi. Gibeon miten jong Israelte chu akicham piuvin amaho mi in akiheilut tauve tijong ahetan ahi.
Now when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were amongst them,
2 Hijeh chun amaleh mipite akichalheh jengun ahi. Ajeh chu Gibeon hi khopi lentah ahin leng khopi dangho tete ahin chuleh Ai sanga jong khopi lenjo ahin, Gibeon mite jongchu galsatna hatte ahiuve tijong ajan ahi.
they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
3 Hijeh chun Jerusalem leng Adoni-Zedek chun leng dangho akoukhommin, amaho chu Hebron lengpa Hoham, Jermeth lengpa Peram, Lachish lengpa Japhia chuleh Eglon lengpa Dabir ahiuve.
Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 “Hungunlang Gibeon mite suhmangna din neihung kithopiuvin,” tin atemmun ahi, ajeh chu “Amahon Joshua leh Israelte toh kichamna asemmun ahi,” ati.
“Come up to me and help me. Let’s strike Gibeon; for they have made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.”
5 Hijeh chun Amormite leng-nga hochu galsat dingin akiloikhom tauvin ahi. Hichun amahon asepaiteu chu akhom khommun Gibeon mite chu ana nokhum tauvin ahi.
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 Gibeon miten Gilgal ngahmunna um Joshua komma chun thulhut ding mi gangtah’in asoltauvin ahi. “Nasohte hi neidonda hihbeh’un, gangtah’in hungun lang neihung kithopiuvin lang neihung huhdoh’un, ajeh chu thinglhanga cheng Amor lengho akithokhommun eihung delkhum tauve,” atiuve.
The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.”
7 Joshua leh asepaite chengse leh galhat laise toh Gilgal adalhauvin Gibeonte kithopi dingin akontauve.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and the whole army with him, including all the mighty men of valour.
8 Pakaiyin Joshua kommah “Amahokhu kicha hih’un, ajeh chu keiman amaho chunga khu galjona kapeh’u nahitauve. Amaho khatcha nangho masanga dingngam louding ahiuve.” Tin aseipeh tai.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.”
9 Joshua chun Gilgalla kon in jankhovah’in lam ajotnin Amor galmite chu kigingmanlou hellin anokhum tauvin ahi.
Joshua therefore came to them suddenly. He marched from Gilgal all night.
10 Pakaiyin amaho chu atijatsah’in, hitichun Israelten Amor mite chu Gibeon’ah atam a tam athatnun ahi. Hijouchun Israelten galmi hochu Beth-horon geijin adellutnun Azekah leh Makkedah lampi geijin abantha peh’un ahi.
The LORD confused them before Israel. He killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
11 Amor mite chu Beth-horon lamlen lammah anungjam peh’un ahileh Pakaiyin vanna kon in gellom nasatah ajuhlhah sah’in Azekah alhunkahseuvin aban thagam peh’in ahi. Israelten chemma athasang’un gellin atha atamjon ahi.
As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, the LORD hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.
12 Hicheni chun Pakaiyin Israelte chu Amor mite chunga galjona anapen ahi. Joshua’n Israel mipite mitmu changtah’in Pakai hengah anataovin, “Gibeon chungah nisa dingden hen chuleh lha jong Aijalon phaicham chungah dingden hen” ati.
Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. He said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!”
13 Hitichun nisa leh lha chu Israel nammiten agalmite ajokah seuvin ama muncheh’a adingden lhontan ahi. Hiche thilsoh hi Jashar lekhabua kijihlutna hilouham? Nisa chu vanlaijolla anading dennin nidanga nisalhum ngai bangin analhumpon ahi.
The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.
14 Pakaiyin amite taona anasanna-ah hitobang hi tumasang leh khonung jengin jong anaumkhapon ahi. Tahbeh mongin Pakaiyin hiche nikho chun Israelte dingin gal anasat peh’in ahi.
There was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Hiche jouchun Joshua leh Israel sepaite chu Gilgal ngahmunnah ahung kilekit tauvin ahi.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16 Gal kisat laitah chun leng nga hochu Makeddah songkoa ana kisellun ahi.
These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Joshua’n amaho chu ahin mudoh phatnun,
Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
18 Hitihin thupeh ananeijin ahi, “Songkohom chu songlentah’in sing’unlang lengho chu ahung potdoh louna diuvin apangah chun angah ding mi koijun,” ati.
Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;
19 “Adangse chun galmi hochu nungdellun lang anung langa kon in satchap jengun, akhopiu nunglhunsah kit louvin sugam jengun, ajeh chu Pakai na Pathennun amaho chu nangho khutna napehdoh’u ahitai,” ati.
but don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
20 Joshua le Israel sepaiten galmi hochu asuhmangsoh kahseuvin athat that jengun ahi. Hitichun kul kigetkhum akhopiuva jamlut mi themchakhat tailou adangse chu abonchauvin asumangsoh hellun ahi.
When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
21 Hiche jouchun, Israelte chu Joshua kom Makkedah ngahmunnah bitkeijin akilekitnun ahi. Hiche kalchu koiman Israelte dounan thu themchakhatcha jong aseipoh ngamtapouvin ahi.
all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22 Hiche jouchun Joshua’n, “Songkohom kisinna songlentah chu ladoh’unlang leng nga hochu kakommah hinpuijun” ati.
Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”
23 Hichun amahon leng nga hochu songko homma konchun ahinpuidoh’un, amaho chu, Jerusalem lengpa, Hebron lengpa, Jermuth lengpa, Lachish lengpa chuleh Eglon lengpa ahiuve.
They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
24 Amaho chu ahinpuidoh phatnun, Joshua’n gallamkai ho kommachun, “Hungun lang nakengphang’un lengho ngongchang hi chonphauvin” ati. Hichun amahon asei bangchun abollun ahi.
When they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near. Put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, and put their feet on their necks.
25 Joshua’n amite kommachun, “Kicha hih’un tijatna jong neihih’un, hatnunlang hang’un, ajeh chu Pakaiyin nagalmiteu chunga hitobanga hi abolsohkei ding ahi” ati.
Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight.”
26 Hiche jouchun Joshua’n leng nga hochu athatsoh keijin thingphung nga chunga chun akhai sang in, nilhah chan geijin akhaijun ahi.
Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
27 Nisalhum kon in, Joshua thupeh dungjuijin lengho tahsa chu thingchunga kon in alalhauvin anakiselnau songko homsunga chun aseplutnun ahi. Hijeh chun hiche songkohom chu songlentah ho asekhummun tuni channgeijin aummin ahi.
At the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and threw them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.

Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed it and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
