Joshua 5
1 Jordan vapui niduem bang kaom Amor siangpahrangnawk hoi tuipui taengah kaom Kanaan siangpahrangnawk boih mah, Israel caanawk tuipui angkat o thai hanah, nihcae tui angkat o boih ai karoek to, Angraeng mah kawbangmaw nihcae hmaa ah Jordan vapui tui to kaangsak, tiah a thaih o naah, nihcae loe Israel kaminawk pongah palungboeng o moe, poekhaih thazok o sut.
When all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings of the Mediterranean coast heard how the Lord had dried up the waters of the River Jordan so that the Israelites could cross over, their courage melted and they no longer had any fighting spirit to face the Israelites.
2 To naah Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah, Haita to kanoe ah taak ah loe, Israel kaminawk ih tangzat hin to aat pae let ah, tiah a naa.
At that time the Lord told Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the new generation of Israelites.”
3 To pongah Joshua mah haita to kanoe ah taak moe, Gibeah-haaraloth ahmuen ah Israel kaminawk ih tangyat hin to aah pae let.
Joshua had flint knives made and all male Israelites were circumcised at the place that became known as “the hill of foreskins.”
4 Joshua mah tangyat hin aah pae lethaih takung loe hae tiah oh; Izip prae hoi angzo kaminawk boih loe, misatuh nongpa ah oh o moe, Izip prae hoi tacawt o pacoengah, praezaek caehhaih loklam ah duek o boih.
This is the reason why Joshua had them all circumcised: all those who left Egypt—the men of fighting age—had died on the journey through the wilderness after the Exodus.
5 To kaminawk loe tangzat hin aah o boih; toe Izip prae thung hoi tacawt o pacoeng praezaek caehhaih loklam ah tapen kaminawk loe tangyat hin aat o ai vop.
They had all been circumcised when they left Egypt, but those born on the journey since then had not.
6 Izip prae thung hoi angzo misatuh kaminawk loe, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai o ai pongah, dueh o boih ai karoek to praezaek ah saning quipalito thung amhet o; Angraeng mah, Kang paek han, tiah ampanawk khaeah lokkam ih prae, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae to hnuksak han ai ah, Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah lokkamhaih sak boeh.
For forty years the Israelites traveled through the wilderness until all the men of fighting age when they left Egypt had died, because they had not done what the Lord had told them to do. So the Lord had vowed that he would not let them see the land he had promised their forefathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 To pongah Angraeng mah nihcae zuengah nihcae ih caanawk to khetzawn pae lat; nihcae ih caanawk to ni Joshua mah tangyat hin aah pae; nihcae loe loklam ah tangyat hin aat o ai pongah, tangyat hin aat ai kami ah oh o.
The Lord replaced them with their children, and these were the ones that Joshua circumcised. They were uncircumcised since they hadn't been circumcised on the way.
8 Kaminawk boih tangyat hin aah o pongah, kana khap ai karoek to angmacae ataihaih ahmuen ah oh o.
Once they had all been circumcised, they stayed in the camp until they recovered.
9 Angraeng mah Joshua khaeah, Izip prae ih nangcae kasae thuihaih to vaihniah kang takhoe pae ving boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah to ahmuen to vaihni ni khoek to Gilgal, tiah kawk o.
The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have removed from all of you the disgrace of Egypt.” So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.
10 Israel kaminawk loe to khrah, ni hatlai palito duem bangah, Jeriko azawn Gilgal ah atai o, to naah misong loihhaih poih to sak o.
The Israelites camped at Gilgal and celebrated Passover there on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month.
11 Loihhaih poih sak o pacoeng, khawnbang ah prae thung tacawt buh aan, taeh thuh ai ih takaw hoi haek ih cang to a caak o.
From the very next day they began to eat produce from the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.
12 Prae thung tacawt buh aan caak o pacoeng khawnbang ah loe manna om ai boeh; Israel kaminawk loe manna to caa o ai boeh; toe to na saning thung loe Kanaan prae ih buh aan to a caak o.
On the same day when they began eating produce from the land there was no more manna. No longer did the Israelites have manna; after that they ate the produce of the land of Canaan.
13 Joshua loe Jeriko vangpui taengah phak moe, a doeng tahang naah, khenah, a ban ah sumsen kasin kami maeto anih hmaa ah angdoet; Joshua loe anih khaeah caeh tahang moe, Nang loe kaicae bangah kaom kami maw, to ai boeh loe misa bangah kaom kami? tiah a naa.
One day when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or against us?” “Neither,” said the man. “I am the commander of the Lord's army. Now I'm here!”
14 Anih mah, To tih na ai ni; kai loe Angraeng ih misatuh kaminawk zaehoikung ah ka oh pongah ni, vaihi kang zoh, tiah a naa. To naah Joshua loe mikhmai to long ah akuep tathuk moe, a bok pacoengah anih khaeah, Ka angraeng, na tamna khaeah tih lok maw na thuih han? tiah a naa.
Joshua fell down with his face to the ground in awe. Then he said, “What orders does my lord have for his servant?”
15 Angraeng ih misatuh kaminawk zaehoikung mah Joshua khaeah, Na khokpanai to angkhring ah, nang doethaih ahmuen loe hmuenciim ah oh, tiah naa. Anih mah thuih ih baktih toengah Joshua mah sak.
The commander of the Lord's army told Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you're standing is holy ground.” Joshua did so.
