Joshua 7
1 Ahinla Israel’in sapset changsa thilho chungahin thupeh anapalkeh’un ahi. Achan kitipa hin sapset changsa thilho phabep chu ana gudohtan, hijeh chun Pakai chu Israel chungah analunghang lheh jengin ahi. Achan kitipa hi, Judaphung sunga Zerah chapa Zimri chilhah’a kon Carmi chapa ahi.
But the children of Israel committed a great trespass, and purloined [part] of the accursed thing; and Achar the son of Charmi, the son of Zambri, the son of Zara, of the tribe of Juda, took of the accursed thing; and the Lord was very angry with the children of Israel.
2 Joshua’n Jericho a kon in, Beth’aven kom, Bethel solama um Ai khopi velhi dingin mi phabep asollin ahi.
And Joshua sent men to Gai, which is by Baethel, saying, Spy out Gai: and the men went up and spied Gai.
3 Amaho ahung kile phatnun Joshua kommachun hitin aseijun ahi, “Eiho ibonnuva ichetouvu angaipoi ajeh chu hiche Ai khopi nokhumding khun mi sangni ahilouleh sangthum kal ngaiponte atiuvin ahi. Amahokhu lhomchabou ahiuvin eiho ibonchauva ichetoukhoh’u angaipoi atiuve.”
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and take the city by siege: carry not up thither the whole people, for [the enemy] are few.
4 Hijeh chun mi sangthum tobang asollun ahileh gimneitah’in gal ahinlal tauvin ahi.
And there went up about three thousand men, and they fled from before the men of Gai.
5 Ai khomiten Israel hochu akhopiu kelkotna kon in Sheberim geijin ahin dellutnun lamsah lamma nungjam hochu mi somthum le gup tobang athatnun ahi. Hitobang thilsoh’a konhin Israelte chu kichatnan adimtauvin alungu adailheh jengtauvin ahi.
And the men of Gai slew of them to the number of thirty-six men, and they pursued them from the gate, and destroyed them from the steep hill; and the heart of the people was alarmed and became as water.
6 Joshua leh Israel upate jouse lunghemmin aponsillu abot-eh jengun, aluchanguvah leivui akinu’vin Pakai thingkong maija chun tolla abohkhup un nilhahlang geijin akisehgim jengun ahi.
And Joshua tore his garments; and Joshua fell on the earth on his face before the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they cast dust on their heads.
7 Hichun Joshua akapjah jengun, “O Pakai Pathen hiche Amor mite thagamding bepma hi ipi dinga hiche Jordan hi neihinpui galkaiju ham? Hitiding sanga hi Jordan gallang khatna chu neichenden sah jenguleh itiaham?
And Joshua said, I pray, Lord, wherefore has thy servant brought this people over Jordan to deliver them to the Amorite to destroy us? would we had remained and settled ourselves beyond Jordan.
8 Pakai, Israel hi agalmitea konna hi ajam theibepma ahileh ipi kaseithei dingham?
And what shall I say since Israel has turned his back before his enemy?
9 Ajeh chu, Canaan mitele hiche gamsunga cheng miteho hin hichehi ajahdoh phatnuleh, amahon eihin umkimvel’un tin hiche gam leisetna konna hi eisuhmang tah louding diuham? Chutengleh aming loupe jaangaina hi itiding hitam?” ati.
And when the Chananite and all the inhabitants of the land hear it, they shall compass us round and destroy us from off the land: and what wilt thou do [for] thy great name?
10 Ahinlah Pakaiyin Joshua kommah ahin seijin, “Kithoudoh loijin, ipi dinga bohkhupma kijamjeng nahiham?
And the Lord said to Joshua, Rise up; why hast thou fallen upon thy face?
11 Israel’in kakitepna asukeh’in sapset changsa thilho aguuvin, eijoulhepmun athilkeo lah’uva akoijun ahi.
The people has sinned, and transgressed the covenant which I made with them; they have stolen from the cursed thing, and put it into their store.
12 Hichejeh a hi Israelte agalteu masanga dingjou louva gallel’a jamma ahiuve. Tuahi Israelte amaho jeng jonghi suhmang dinga umma ahitauve. Nalah’uva um sapset changsa thilkeoho chu nasuhmang lou’uleh keiman nangho kaumpi louding nahiuve.
And the children of Israel will not be able to stand before their enemies; they will turn their back before their enemies, for they have become an accursed thing: I will not any longer be with you, unless ye remove the cursed thing from yourselves.
13 Thoudoh’in lang, jing nikho kigotna dingin namite hi amaho le amaho kisuhthengsah’in. Ajeh chu, Pakai Israel Pathennin aseije, O Israel, sapset changsa thilkeoho chu nalah’uva akiselden nalaije, hicheho hi nahinlahdoh tokah’uva galmasanga nadin joulou diu ahi.
Rise, sanctify the people and tell them to sanctify themselves for the morrow: thus says the Lord God of Israel, The accursed thing is among you; ye shall not be able to stand before your enemies, until ye shall have removed the cursed thing from among you.
14 Jingkah tengleh naphung dungjuijuva nahung kigoldiu ahi, hiteng chuleh Pakaiyin achonsepa chu koiphung penna konham ti ahinphondoh ding ahi. Pakaiyin ahilhendoh phung chu aphungkhaija nahung kigoldohdiu, Pakaiyin achonse phungkhai chu ahin lhendoh ding ahi. Pakaiyin ahinlhendoh phungkhai chu hung kigoldiu achonse insung chu ahin lhendoh ding ahi. Ajonapen’a chu achonse insung mite chu khatkhatna hung kigoldohdiu ahi.
And ye shall all be gathered together by your tribes in the morning, and it shall come to pass that the tribe which the Lord shall shew, ye shall bring by families; and the family which the Lord shall shew, ye shall bring by households; and the household which the Lord shall shew, ye shall bring man by man.
15 Koi hileh hiche sapset chang thil ana gupen pen amatah chu aneijouse toh halvam thading ahi, ajeh chu aman Pakai kitepna chu apalkeh’a Israel chunga hitobang hamsetna chu achuhsah ahi,” ati.
And the man who shall be pointed out, shall be burnt with fire, and all that he has; because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and has wrought wickedness in Israel.
16 Joshua’n jong jingkah langin matah’in athouvin Israel phungho chu Pakai maijah ahin goldoh’in ahileh Judah phung chu matdoh ahitai.
And Joshua rose up early, and brought the people by their tribes; and the tribe of Juda was pointed out.
17 Hijeh chun Judah phungkhai chu ahung kigoldoh’in ahileh Zerah phungkhai chu akimandoh kittan ahi. Hichejou chun Zerah insungmi chu ahung kigoldoh’un ahileh Zimri insung chu matdoh ahitai.
And it was brought by their families, and family of the Zaraites was pointed out.
18 Zimri insung mite jouse chu amachang cheh khatkhat’in ahung kigoldoh’un ahileh Achan chu ahin mandoh tauvin ahi.
And it was brought man by man, and Achar the son of Zambri the son of Zara was pointed out.
19 Hichun Joshua’n Achan kommachun hitin aseije, “Kachapa, Israel Pathen loupina hi jana penlang thudihtah seijin, ipi bepseu nanabol hitam phongdoh’in lang, neiseipeh’in, imacha imhihbeh’in” ati.
And Joshua said to Achar, Give glory this day to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession; and tell me what thou hast done, and hide it not from me.
20 Achan’in adonbutnin, “Adih’e, Pakai dounan kana chonsetai.
And Achar answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: thus and thus have I done:
21 Thil kichomdoh lah’a chun, Babylon pon hoitah khattoh, dangka shekel jani toh, shekel sangnga gih sana lhonkhat toh kamun ahileh kadeichan kana kilahtai. Hicheho chu kaponbuh sungah dangka chutoh tolla kavuijin ahi,” ati.
I saw in the spoil an embroidered mantle, and two hundred didrachms of silver, and one golden wedge of fifty didrachms, and I desired them and took them; and, behold, they are hid in my tent, and the silver is hid under them.
22 Hichun Joshua’n akholtoh dingin mi phabep asollin, amaho acheuvin ahileh Achannin asei bangchun thil kiguho chu dangka chutoh akivuitha chu agamu’uvin ahi.
And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent into the camp; and these things were hidden in his tent, and the silver under them.
23 Amahon ponbuh a konchun hiche thilho jouse chu ahinchoijun Israelte leh Joshua komma chun ahinchoijun, hicheho chu Pakai angsung tollhanga chun asekhommun ahi.
And they brought them out of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and the elders of Israel, and they laid them before the Lord.
24 Hichun Israelte leh Joshua’n Achantoh, dangka leh ponloupi, sanalhon toh, achapate le achanute, abongchal ho, asangan ho, akelngoiho le akeltah ho, aponbuh leh athilho jouse chu Achor phaichammah ahin polutnun ahi.
And Joshua took Achar the son of Zara, and brought him to the valley of Achor, and his sons, and his daughters, and his calves, and his asses, and all his sheep, and his tent, and all his property, and all the people [were] with him; and he brought them to Emec Achor.
25 Hichun Joshua’n Achan jah’a chun, “Ipi dinga nangin ilah’uva hi hitobang hamsetna hi nahin pohlut ham?” ati. Hichun Israelte jousen Achanleh ainsung mite chu song’in aseplih’un atahsa long’u meiyin ahalgam tauve.
And Joshua said to Achar, Why hast thou destroyed us? the Lord destroy thee as at this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones.
26 Achan chunga chun songlom aseuvin tuni changgeijin aumjing nalaije. Hijeh chun hiche munchu hichenia patchun Lungkhamna Phaicham akisahtan ahi. Hichepet chun Pakai lunghanna chu adailhatai.
And they set up over him a great heap of stones; and the Lord ceased from his fierce anger. Therefore he called the place Emecachor until this day.
