< Joshua 7 >

1 But the children of Israel committed unfaithfulness in that which had been brought under the curse: Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the children of Israel.
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.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
Joshua’n Jericho a kon in, Beth’aven kom, Bethel solama um Ai khopi velhi dingin mi phabep asollin ahi.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; make not all the people to toil thither, for they are few.
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.”
4 And there went up thither of the people about three thousand men, but they fled before the men of Ai.
Hijeh chun mi sangthum tobang asollun ahileh gimneitah’in gal ahinlal tauvin ahi.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men; and they pursued them from before the gate to Shebarim, and smote them on the descent. Then the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
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.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and threw dust upon their heads.
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.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh that we had been content and had remained beyond the Jordan!
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?
8 Ah Lord! what shall I say after Israel have turned their backs before their enemies?
Pakai, Israel hi agalmitea konna hi ajam theibepma ahileh ipi kaseithei dingham?
9 When the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], they will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. And what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
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.
10 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Rise up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
Ahinlah Pakaiyin Joshua kommah ahin seijin, “Kithoudoh loijin, ipi dinga bohkhupma kijamjeng nahiham?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them, and they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it among their stuff.
Israel’in kakitepna asukeh’in sapset changsa thilho aguuvin, eijoulhepmun athilkeo lah’uva akoijun ahi.
12 And the children of Israel shall not be able to stand before their enemies: they shall turn their backs before their enemies, for they have made themselves accursed. I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the accursed thing from your midst.
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.
13 Rise up, hallow the people, and say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from your midst.
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.
14 And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes; and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by families, and the family which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by households; and the household which Jehovah taketh shall come forward man by man.
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.
15 And it shall be, that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath wrought wickedness in Israel.
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.
16 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and caused Israel to come forward by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
Joshua’n jong jingkah langin matah’in athouvin Israel phungho chu Pakai maijah ahin goldoh’in ahileh Judah phung chu matdoh ahitai.
17 And he caused the families of Judah to come forward, and he took the family of the Zarhites. And he caused the family of the Zarhites to come forward man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
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.
18 And he caused his household to come forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Zimri insung mite jouse chu amachang cheh khatkhat’in ahung kigoldoh’un ahileh Achan chu ahin mandoh tauvin ahi.
19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah the God of Israel, and make confession to him: tell me now what thou hast done, keep it not back from me.
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.
20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.
Achan’in adonbutnin, “Adih’e, Pakai dounan kana chonsetai.
21 I saw among the spoils a beautiful mantle of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a golden bar of fifty shekels weight, and I coveted them and took them; and behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
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.
22 And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
Hichun Joshua’n akholtoh dingin mi phabep asollin, amaho acheuvin ahileh Achannin asei bangchun thil kiguho chu dangka chutoh akivuitha chu agamu’uvin ahi.
23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah.
Amahon ponbuh a konchun hiche thilho jouse chu ahinchoijun Israelte leh Joshua komma chun ahinchoijun, hicheho chu Pakai angsung tollhanga chun asekhommun ahi.
24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the bar of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up into the valley of Achor.
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.
25 And Joshua said, How hast thou troubled us! Jehovah will trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
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.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones, [which is there] to this day. And Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Valley of Achor, to this day.
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.
