< Joshua 5 >

1 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 the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children 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, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, 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 Joshua made himself flint knives, 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 This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came 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 along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been 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 children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he would not let them see the land which the LORD 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 Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on 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 When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
Lè li fin sikonsi tout gason yo, tout pèp la rete la kote yo te moute tant yo a, jouk yo te geri.
9 The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from 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 The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. 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 They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
Nan denmen Fèt Delivrans lan, yo manje manje yo rekòlte nan peyi a: grenn ble griye ak pen kwit san ledven.
12 The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel did not have 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 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”
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 He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of the LORD’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked 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 The prince of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” 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.
