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, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

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

At that time the LORD said to Joshua, Make you sharp knives, and circumcise again the children 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 sharp knives, and circumcised the children 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 cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came 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.

Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them 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 children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that flows 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 children, 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 people, that they stayed in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

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

And the LORD said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Why the name of the place is 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 children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even 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 did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn 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 old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat 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 over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, Are you 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 host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said to him, What says my Lord 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 the LORD’s host said to Joshua, Loose your shoe from off your foot; for the place where on you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
