Joshua 4
1 Kaminawk boih Jordan vapui angkat o pacoengah, Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah,
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that Yhwh spake unto Joshua, saying,
2 kaminawk salak hoi kami hatlai hnetto, acaeng maeto thung hoi kami maeto qoih pacoengah,
Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
3 Jordan vapui um qaimanawk angdoethaih ahmuen ih, thlung hatlai hnetto to la oh loe apu oh; vaiqum na iih o haih ahmuen ah to thlungnawk to suem oh, tiah a naa.
And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
4 To pongah Joshua mah Israel kaminawk ih acaeng maeto thung hoiah kami maeto kawk moe,
Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
5 nihcae khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw thingkhong ih ahmaa, Jordan vapui um ah caeh oh loe, Israel acaeng zetto ah kami maeto mah thlung maeto apu oh;
And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of Yhwh your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
6 to thlung loe nangcae salakah angmathaih ah om tih; hmabang ah na caanawk mah, Hae thlung loe tih thuikoehhaih ih aa? tiah na dueng o nahaeloe,
That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
7 nangcae mah nihcae khaeah, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong Jordan vapui angkat naah, a hmaa ah Jordan vapui tui to apet; Jordan vapui apet ving pongah, hae loe Israel kaminawk hanah dungzan panoek poehaih thlung ah om tih, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Yhwh; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
8 Joshua mah paek ih lok baktih toengah Israel kaminawk mah sak o; Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Israel acaengnawk zetto ah, Jordan vapui um ah thlung hatlai hnetto akhuih o; to thlung to angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah sinh o moe, to ah a suek o.
And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as Yhwh spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
9 Joshua mah lokkamhaih thingkhong apu qaimanawk angdoethaih ahmuen Jordan vapui um ah, thlung hatlai hnetto a tlingh; to thlung loe vaihni ni khoek to oh.
And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
10 Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah paek ih lok baktih, Mosi mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kaminawk mah sah o boih ai karoek to, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu qaimanawk loe Jordan vapui um ah angdoet o, to naah kaminawk loe karangah angkat o.
For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that Yhwh commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
11 Kaminawk angkat o boih pacoengah, Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong hoi qaimanawk loe, kaminawk mikhnuk ah nawnto angkat o.
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of Yhwh passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
12 Mosi mah nihcae khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manasseh acaengnawk loe, maiphaw maica to sin o moe, Israel kaminawk hmaa ah angkat o.
And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
13 To tiah misatuk han caeh kaminawk loe, kami sang quipalito oh o moe, misatuk han Angraeng hmaa ah Jeriko azawn bangah angkat o.
About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before Yhwh unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
14 To na niah Israel kaminawk mikhnuk ah Angraeng mah Joshua to tapom tahang; nihcae mah Mosi zit o baktih toengah, hing thung Joshua doeh a zit o.
On that day Yhwh magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
15 To naah Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah,
And Yhwh spake unto Joshua, saying,
16 hnukung ah kaom thingkhong apu qaimanawk to, Jordan vapui hoi angzoh tahang han lokpaek ah, tiah a naa.
Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
17 To pongah Joshua mah qaimanawk khaeah, Jordan vapui thung hoi angzo o tahang ah, tiah a naa.
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
18 Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong apu qaimanawk vapui thung hoi angzoh o tahang moe, tuicing to khok hoi a cawh o naah, Jordan vapui to angmah ih ahmuen ah amlaem let moe, canghni ah longh baktiah a longh let.
And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of Yhwh were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
19 Khrah tangsuek ni hatlai hnetto naah, Jeriko ni angyae bang ramri ah kaom, Gilgal ah atai o.
And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
20 To naah Jordan vapui thung hoi akhuih o ih thlung hatlai hnetto to, Joshua mah Gilgal ah tlingh.
And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
21 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Israel kaminawk khaeah, Hmabang ah na caanawk mah ampanawk khaeah, Hae ih thlungnawk loe tih thuikoehhaih ih aa? tiah dueng o nahaeloe,
And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
22 Israel kaminawk loe hae Jordan vapui hae saoeng ah caeh baktih toengah angkat o, tiah thui pae oh.
Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
23 Aicae mah tuipui kathim angkat o boih ai karoek to, na Angraeng Sithaw mah aicae hmaa ah tuipui kathim tui to kaangsak baktih toengah, Jordan vapui nang kat o boih ai karoek to, na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae hmaa ah Jordan vapui tui to kaangsak.
For Yhwh your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Yhwh your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
24 Angraeng ih ban loe thacak, tiah long kaminawk boih mah panoek o moe, na Angraeng Sithaw to dungzan khoek to na zit o thai han ih ni, hae tiah a sak, tiah a naa.
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of Yhwh, that it is mighty: that ye might fear Yhwh your God for ever.
