Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass when the kings of the Amorites who were beyond Jordan heard, and the kings of Phoenicia by the sea, that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan from before the children of Israel when they passed over, that their hearts failed, and they were terror-stricken, and there was no sense 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 And about this time the Lord said to Joshua, Make you stone knives of sharp stone, and sit down and circumcise the children of Israel the second time.
Na tango wana, Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Sala bambeli ya mabanga mpe kata lisusu bana mibali ya Isalaele ngenga.
3 And Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the “Hill of Foreskins.”
Jozue asalaki bambeli ya mabanga mpe akataki bana mibali ya Isalaele ngenga, pene ya ngomba moke ya Araloti.
4 And [this is] the way in which Joshua purified the children of Israel; as many as were born in the way, and as many as were uncircumcised of them that 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 these Joshua circumcised; for forty and two years Israel wondered in the wilderness of Mabdaris—
Mibali nyonso oyo babimaki na Ejipito bakatamaki ngenga; kasi bato nyonso oyo babotamaki na nzela, kati na esobe, bakatamaki ngenga te.
6 Therefore most of the fighting men that came out of the land of Egypt, were uncircumcised, who disobeyed the commands of God; concerning whom also he determined that they should not see the land, which the Lord sware to give to their fathers, [even] 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 in their place he raised up their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised, having been born by the way.
Boye, atombolaki bana na esika ya batata na bango; yango wana Jozue akataki bango ngenga, pamba te bakatamaki ngenga te na nzela.
8 And when they had been circumcised they rested continuing there in the camp till they were healed.
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 the son of Naue, On this day have I removed the reproach of Egypt from you: and he called the name of that place Galgala.
Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Lelo, natindiki soni ya Ejipito mosika na bino. Babengaki esika yango « Giligali » kino na mokolo ya lelo.
10 And the children of Israel kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, to the westward of Jericho on the opposite side of the Jordan in the plain.
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 they ate of the grain of the earth unleavened and new [corn].
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 In this day the manna failed, after they had eaten of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel no longer had manna: and they took the fruits of the land of the Phoenicians in that year.
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 And it came to pass when Joshua was in Jericho, that he looked up with his eyes and saw a man standing before him, and [there was] a drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua drew near and said to him, Are you for us or on the side of our enemies?
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 to him, I am now come, the chief captain of the host of the Lord. And Joshua fell on his face upon the earth, and said to him, Lord, what command you your 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 host said to Joshua, Loose your shoe off your feet, for the place whereon you now stand is holy.
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.
