< Joshua 5 >

1 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.
Lè tout wa peyi Amori yo ki te rete lòt bò larivyè Jouden sou bò solèy kouche a ansanm ak tout wa peyi Kanaran yo ki te rete sou tout rivaj gwo lanmè Mediterane a vin konnen Seyè a te cheche dlo larivyè Jouden an pou pèp Izrayèl la te pase larivyè a, yo vin pè anpil, yo pèdi tout kouraj yo devan pèp Izrayèl la.
2 At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make for thee knives of flint, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Jozye, li di l' konsa: -Pran wòch dife, kase yo fè zenglen pou sikonsi gason pèp Izrayèl ki fèt nan dezè a.
3 And Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Se konsa, Jozye fè yon bann zenglen wòch byen file, li sikonsi tout gason pèp Izrayèl la yon kote yo rele Bit po ti kòk.
4 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.
Li te fè sa paske tout gason ki te gen laj pou yo pote zam lè yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la te mouri nan dezè a pandan yo t'ap vwayaje a.
5 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.
Tout gason ki te vivan lè yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la te sikonsi. Men, ankenn nan gason ki te fèt pandan yo t'ap vwayaje nan dezè a pa t' ankò sikonsi.
6 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.
Pèp Izrayèl la te pase karantan ap vwayaje nan dezè a. Pandan tout tan sa a, tout gason ki te gen laj pou fè lagè lè yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la te mouri, paske yo pa t' koute Seyè a lè li te pale yo. Se konsa li te di yo li pa t'ap kite yo yonn wè peyi li te pwomèt li t'ap bay zansèt yo a, bon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo a.
7 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.
Men, li ba yo pitit pou ranplase yo. Se pitit sa yo Jozye te sikonsi paske yo pa t' sikonsi yo lè yo t'ap vwayaje nan dezè a.
8 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.
Lè li fin sikonsi tout gason yo, tout pèp la rete la kote yo te moute tant yo a, jouk yo te geri.
9 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.
Apre sa, Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Jòdi a mwen wete wont yo te fè nou nan peyi Lejip la, mwen voye l' jete. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote yo te ye a Gilgal jouk jòdi a.
10 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.
Antan pèp Izrayèl la te rete Gilgal nan plenn ki toupre lavil Jeriko, yo fete Fèt Delivrans lan nan aswè katòzyèm jou premye mwa a.
11 And they ate of the produce of the land on the morrow after the Passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the selfsame day.
Nan denmen Fèt Delivrans lan, yo manje manje yo rekòlte nan peyi a: grenn ble griye ak pen kwit san ledven.
12 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.
Apre sa, laman lan sispann tonbe. Depi lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la pa jwenn laman pou yo manje ankò. Pandan tout lanne a yo manje manje yo te rekolte nan peyi Kanaran an.
13 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?
Yon jou, antan Jozye te toupre lavil Jeriko a, li rete konsa, li wè yon nonm kanpe devan l' avèk yon nepe nan men l'. Jozye mache sou li, epi li mande l': -Ou se yonn nan moun pa nou yo osinon yon lènmi?
14 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?
Nonm lan reponn li: -M' pa ni yonn ni lòt. Mwen se kòmandan an chèf lame Seyè a. Mwen fèk rive. Jozye tonbe ajenou devan l', li bese tèt li jouk atè, li di l' konsa: -Se sèvitè ou mwen ye, mèt. Kisa ou vle m' fè pou ou?
15 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.
Kòmandan an chèf lame Seyè a di l' konsa: -Wete sapat nan pye ou. Kote ou kanpe a se yon kote ki apa pou Bondye. Epi Jozye fè sa li di l' fè a.
