< 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.
Aa naho jinanji’ o hene mpanjaka’ o nte-Amore alafe’ Iardeney mañandrefañeo, naho ze hene mpanjaka’ o nte Kanàne marine i riakey te nimaihe’ Iehovà aolo’ o ana’ Israeleo o rano’ Iardeneo ampara’ t’ie tafatsàke, le nitronake ty arofo’ iareo vaho tsy naha­kofòke ty amo ana’ Israeleo.
2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel once again.”
Ie henane zay, hoe t’Iehovà am’ Iehosoa: Tse­neo meso am-bato pìlake vaho savaro indraike o ana’ Israeleo ho fañindroe’e.
3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.
Aa le nitsene mesom-bato pilake t’Iehosoa, vaho nisavare’e e Gibeate-ha-aralote eo o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Zao ty talim-panavara’ Iehosoa iareo: toe nihomak’ am-patrambey an-dalañe eo ze hene ondaty niakatse i Mitsraimeo; o lahilahio, o lahindefoñeo, ie fa niavotse i Mitsraime.
5 Though all who had come out were circumcised, none of those born in the wilderness on the journey from Egypt had been circumcised.
Fa nivotso-boy ondaty iaby niakatse boak’aoo, fe tsy nisavareñe ze hene ondaty nasamak’ am-patrambey amy lalañe niakara’ iareo i Mitsraimey,
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.
amy te efa-polo taoñe ty nañaveloa’ o ana’ Israeleo am-patrambey añe, ampara’ te nihomake i fifeheañe iabiy, o lahindefoñe niavotse i Mitsraimeo, ie tsy nañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà; i nifantà’ Iehovà te tsy hapò’e hahaoniñe i tane nifantà’ Iehovà aman-droae’ iareo te hatolo’e antikañey, tane orikorihen-dronono naho tanteley.
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.
Aa le nibeize’e o ana’ iareoo handimbe iareo, ie ty nisavare’ Iehosoa, tinampake kanao tsy nivo­tso-boy amy lalañey.
8 And after all the nation had been circumcised, they stayed there in the camp until they were healed.
Naho niheneke ty fanavarañe i valobohòke iabiy le nitofa an-tobe’e ao ampara’ te nimelañe.
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.
Hoe ty tsara’Iehovà am’Iehosoa: Anindroany t’ie namarimbariñe ty inje’ i Mitsraime tsy ho ama’ areo. Aa le nitokaveñe ty hoe Gilgale i toetsey, ampara’ te henane.
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.
Ie nitobe e Gilgale ao o ana’ Israeleo le nambena’ iareo i Fihelañ’ amboney ami’ty hariva’ i andro faha folo-efats’ ambi’ i volañeiy amonto’ Ieriko ey.
11 The day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate unleavened bread and roasted grain from the produce of the land.
Nikamà’ iareo ty voka’ ela’ i taney amy loak’ andro’ i Fihelañ’ Amboney: mofo po-dalivay naho tsako tono amy àndroy.
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.
Nijihetse amy andro naño­rike i nikamà’ iareo ty voka’ i taneiy i maney vaho tsy nahazo mane ka o ana’ Israeleo, f’ie nikama ty vokan-tane Kanàne amy taoñe zay.
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?”
Narine’ Ieriko t’Iehosoa t’ie nampiandra fihaino naho nahaisake te inge t’indaty aolo’e, am-pi­tà’e ty fibara tsinoake; vaho nimb’ ama’e mb’eo t’Iehosoa, nanao ty hoe: Ama’ay v’iheo ke amo rafe­lahi’aio?
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?”
Le hoe re, Aiy! Izaho mpifehe o lahindefo’ Iehovào ty nivotrahako etoa. Aa le nibabok’ an-daha­ra’e an-tane eo t’Iehosoa le niam­bane nanao ty hoe: Ino o ho saontsie’ ty talèko amy mpitoro’eio?
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.
Le hoe ty mpifehen-dahindefo’ Iehovào tam’ Iehosoa: Afaho am-pandia’o o hana’oo; amy te miavake o toetse johañe’oo. Le nanoe’ Iehosoa.
