Joshua 5
1 Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and their spirits failed for fear of the Israelites.
Tokosra nukewa lun mwet Amor su muta roto liki Infacl Jordan, ac tokosra nukewa lun mwet Canaan su muta sisken Meoa Mediterranean elos lohng lah LEUM GOD El akpaoyela Infacl Jordan nwe ke na mwet Israel elos fahsr sasla. Elos mutawauk in sangeng ac insialos foroti ke sripen mwet Israel ah.
2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel once again.”
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Orala kutu mitmit kosroh an ke eot keke, ac sifil sang kosrala mwet Israel.”
3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.
Na Joshua el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel, ac el kosrala mwet Israel in sie acn pangpang Fineol in Kosrala.
4 Now this is why Joshua circumcised them: All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of war—had died on the journey in the wilderness after they had left Egypt.
Pa inge sripa se sis Joshua el kosralosla, mweyen mukul nukewa ma fal matwalos in wi mweun ke elos illa liki Egypt, elos misa tari.
5 Though all who had come out were circumcised, none of those born in the wilderness on the journey from Egypt had been circumcised.
Mukul nukewa ma wi illa liki acn Egypt, elos kosrkosrla tari, ac mukul nukewa ma tufah isusla tukun illa sac, elos nukewa soenna kosrla.
6 For the Israelites had wandered in the wilderness forty years, until all the nation’s men of war who had come out of Egypt had died, since they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD vowed never to let them see the land He had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Mwet Israel elos tuh forfor yen mwesis ke yac angngaul, nwe ke mwet mweun ma wi illa liki acn Egypt ah nufon misa ke sripen elos tia akos LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD El tuh wulela nu sin papa matu tumasr meet lah El ac ase nu sesr sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we, tuh ke sripen seakos lalos uh LEUM GOD El fulahk nu selos tuh elos ac fah tia sun facl sac.
7 And Joshua raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones he circumcised. Until this time they were still uncircumcised, since they had not been circumcised along the way.
Tulik natulos su soenna kosrala pa fwil sasu se ma Joshua el kosrala uh.
8 And after all the nation had been circumcised, they stayed there in the camp until they were healed.
Ac tukun mwet nukewa kosrkosrla tari, elos mutana in lohm nuknuk selos nwe ke na kinet kaclos ah mahla.
9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Misenge nga sisla liki kowos mwe mwekin lowos ke kowos tuh moul in mwet kohs in acn Egypt.” Pa inge sripa se sis pangpang acn sac Gilgal, ac ine se inge srakna orekmakinyuk nwe misenge.
10 On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while the Israelites were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they kept the Passover.
Ke eku in len se aksingoul akosr ke malem sac, ke mwet Israel elos srakna muta in acn tupasrpasr apkuran nu Jericho, elos oru Kufwen Alukela in lohm nuknuk selos.
11 The day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate unleavened bread and roasted grain from the produce of the land.
In len tok ah, pa inge len se emeet elos mutawauk mongo ke fokin acn Canaan. Ma elos kang pa bread wangin mwe pulol kac, ac fiten wheat manman.
12 And the day after they had eaten from the produce of the land, the manna ceased. There was no more manna for the Israelites, so that year they began to eat the crops of the land of Canaan.
In len sac me manna tia sifil sikyak, ac mwet Israel elos mongo ke fokin acn Canaan.
13 Now 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 approached Him and asked, “Are You for us or for our enemies?”
Ke Joshua el apkuran nu Jericho, el ngetak ac liye mwet se tu ye mutal, ac cutlass natul fwafeyak inpaol. Joshua el kalukyang nu yorol ac fahk, “Ya kom sie sesr, ku kom mwet lokoalok lasr?”
14 “Neither,” He replied. “I have now come as Commander of the LORD’s army.” Then Joshua fell facedown in reverence and asked Him, “What does my Lord have to say to His servant?”
Ac mwet sac fahk, “Nga tia wi kewa. Nga pa captain lun un mwet mweun lun LEUM GOD.” Na Joshua el putati nu infohk uh ac alu nu sel ac fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lom. Mea kom lungse nga in oru?”
15 The Commander of the LORD’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
Na captain lun un mwet mweun lun LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel, “Sarukla fahluk lom an, tuh acn se kom tu we an acn mutal se.” Na Joshua el oru oana ma el fahk ah.
