Joshua 5
1 Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
Nzokande, tango bakonzi nyonso ya Amori, na ngambo ya weste ya Yordani, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya Kanana, pene ya ebale monene ya Barozo, bayokaki ndenge nini Yawe akawusaki ebale Yordani liboso ya bana ya Isalaele kino tango basilisaki kokatisa, mitema na bango ebukanaki mpe bazalaki lisusu na makasi te ya kotelemela bana ya Isalaele.
2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make yourself stone knives and give the children of Israel circumcision a second time.
Na tango wana, Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Sala bambeli ya mabanga mpe kata lisusu bana mibali ya Isalaele ngenga.
3 So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth.
Jozue asalaki bambeli ya mabanga mpe akataki bana mibali ya Isalaele ngenga, pene ya ngomba moke ya Araloti.
4 And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Tala mpo na nini Jozue asengelaki kokata bango ngenga: Mibali nyonso oyo babimaki na Ejipito mpe bakokisaki mibu ya kobunda bitumba bakufaki na nzela, kati na esobe, sima na bango kobima na Ejipito.
5 All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.
Mibali nyonso oyo babimaki na Ejipito bakatamaki ngenga; kasi bato nyonso oyo babotamaki na nzela, kati na esobe, bakatamaki ngenga te.
6 For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Bana ya Isalaele batambolaki kati na esobe mibu tuku minei, kino tango ekeke mobimba ya mibali oyo bakokisaki mibu ya kobunda bitumba tango babimaki na Ejipito basilaki kokufa. Mpo ete batosaki Yawe te, Yawe alapaki ndayi ete bakomona te mokili oyo alakaki kopesa epai ya batata na bango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
7 And their children, who came up in their place, now underwent circumcision by the hands of Joshua, not having had it before: for there had been no circumcision on the journey.
Boye, atombolaki bana na esika ya batata na bango; yango wana Jozue akataki bango ngenga, pamba te bakatamaki ngenga te na nzela.
8 So when all the nation had undergone circumcision, they kept in their tents till they were well again.
Sima na ekolo mobimba kokatama ngenga, batikalaki esika moko kati na molako kino tango bapota na bango ekawukaki.
9 And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day.
Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Lelo, natindiki soni ya Ejipito mosika na bino. Babengaki esika yango « Giligali » kino na mokolo ya lelo.
10 So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the lowlands of Jericho.
Na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza wana, bana ya Isalaele basalaki feti ya Pasika, wana bazalaki nanu na molako ya Giligali, na etando ya Jeriko.
11 And on the day after the Passover, they had for their food the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and dry grain on the same day.
Mokolo oyo elandaki feti ya Pasika, baliaki biloko ya mokili ya Kanana: mapa ezanga levire mpe bambuma ya ble oyo bakalingaki kaka mokolo wana.
12 And there was no more manna from the day after they had for their food the produce of the land; the children of Israel had manna no longer, but that year the produce of the land of Canaan was their food.
Mokolo oyo elandaki mokolo oyo baliaki biloko ya mokili ya Kanana, mana etikaki kokweya; mana ezalaki lisusu te mpo na bana ya Isalaele. Boye, na mobu wana, baliaki biloko ya mokili ya Kanana.
13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, lifting up his eyes he saw a man in front of him, with his sword uncovered in his hand: and Joshua went up to him and said, Are you for us or against us?
Nzokande, tango Jozue azalaki pene ya Jeriko, atombolaki miso mpe amonaki moto moko atelemi liboso na ye; moto yango asimbaki mopanga na loboko na ye. Jozue apusanaki pene na ye mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, ozali na ngambo na biso to na ngambo ya banguna na biso?
14 And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?
Azongiselaki Jozue: — Te, kasi nazali mokonzi ya mampinga ya Yawe; nayei kaka sik’oyo. Boye, Jozue akweyaki elongi kino na mabele mpe alobaki na ye: — Sango nini nkolo na ngai azali na yango mpo na mosali na ye?
15 And the captain of the Lord's army said to Joshua, Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy. And Joshua did so.
Mokonzi ya mampinga ya Yawe alobaki na ye: — Longola basapato na yo na makolo, pamba te esika oyo ozali ezali bule. Jozue asalaki se bongo.
