Joshua 5

1 Kane ruodhi duto ma jo-Amor modak yo podho chiengʼ mar aora Jordan to gi ruodhi duto mag jo-Kanaan modak e dho nam nowinjo kaka Jehova Nyasaye notwoyo aora Jordan e nyim jo-Israel nyaka negingʼado, chunygi nobwok kendo ne gionge gi chir mar chomo jo-Israel tir.

And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the sons of Israel until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.

2 E sechego Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Piag pelni mabith mondo ichak terogo jo-Israel nyangu.”

At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make for thee knives of flint, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.

3 Omiyo Joshua nopiago pelni mabith mi otero jo-Israel nyangu kama iluongo ni Gibeath Haraloth.

And Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

4 Gima omiyo notimo kamano en nikech ji duto mane oa Misri; ma gin jogo mahikgi noromo kedo e lweny, notho e thim ka gisewuok gia Misri.

And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised: All the people who came forth out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way after they came forth out of Egypt.

5 Jogo duto mane oa Misri noseter nyangu, makmana joma nonywol e thim ka gisea Misri ema ne pod ok oter nyangu.

For all the people who came out were circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.

6 Jo-Israel nosewuotho e thim kuom thuolo maromo higni piero angʼwen manyaka ji duto mahikgi oromo kedo e lweny mane giwuokgo Misri nosetho nikech ne ok giseluoro Jehova Nyasaye. Jehova Nyasaye nosekwongʼorenegi ni ok gininee piny mane osingo ne kweregi mondo omigi, piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich.

For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness till all the nation, even the men of war who came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, to whom Jehovah swore that he would not let them see the land which Jehovah swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Omiyo yawuotgi mane onywol bangʼe ka gin e thim ema ne Joshua otero nyangu. Ne pod ok otergi nyangu nikech ne oyudo kapod giwuotho e thim.

And their sons, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised because they had not circumcised them by the way.

8 Bangʼ kane ogandani duto oseter nyangu, ne gidongʼ e kambi nyaka ne gichango.

And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were recovered.

9 Bangʼ mano, Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Kawuono asetieko ajara mar jo-Misri kuomu.” Omiyo kanyo iluongo ni Gilgal nyaka chil kawuono.

And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day.

10 Godhiambo mar odiechiengʼ mar apar angʼwen mar dweno, jo-Israel nochokore Gilgal e pewe mag Jeriko kendo negitimo nyasi mar Pasaka.

And the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal. And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

11 Kinyne bangʼ Pasaka, mana godiechiengno, negichamo bath nyak mar piny kaka, makati ma ok oketie thowi gi chamb abula.

And they ate of the produce of the land on the morrow after the Passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the selfsame day.

12 Bangʼ odiechiengʼ achiel kane gisechamo chiemo moa e pinyno, chiemb manna ne ok ochako biro ni jo-Israel nikech e higano negichamo mana nyak mar Kanaan.

And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. Neither had the sons of Israel manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

13 Ka koro Joshua ne chiegni chopo Jeriko, nongʼiyo nyime mi oneno ngʼato mochungʼ kotingʼo ligangla e lwete. Joshua nosudo machiegni kode mopenje niya, “In jakorwa koso jasikwa?”

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him, and said to him, Are thou for us, or for our adversaries?

14 Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “Ok an maru kata mar wasiku, to asebiro kaka jatend lweny mar Jehova Nyasaye.” Omiyo Joshua nopodho auma e nyime gi luor, mi openje niya, “En wach mane ma ruodha nigodo ni jatichne?”

And he said, No, but as captain of the army of Jehovah I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, What does my lord say to his servant?

15 Jatend lweny mar Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Gol wuoche manie tiendi, nikech kama ichungoeni en Kama Ler.” Omiyo Joshua notimo kamano.

And the captain of Jehovah's army said to Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
