Joshua 5
1 When all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings of the Mediterranean coast heard how the Lord had dried up the waters of the River Jordan so that the Israelites could cross over, their courage melted and they no longer had any fighting spirit to face the Israelites.
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 told Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the new generation of Israelites.”
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 had flint knives made and all male Israelites were circumcised at the place that became known as “the hill of 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 why Joshua had them all circumcised: all those who left Egypt—the men of fighting age—had died on the journey through the wilderness after the Exodus.
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 They had all been circumcised when they left Egypt, but those born on the journey since then had not.
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 forty years the Israelites traveled through the wilderness until all the men of fighting age when they left Egypt had died, because they had not done what the Lord had told them to do. So the Lord had vowed that he would not let them see the land he had promised their forefathers to 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 The Lord replaced them with their children, and these were the ones that Joshua circumcised. They were uncircumcised since they hadn't been circumcised 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 Once they had all been circumcised, they stayed in the camp until they recovered.
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 removed from all of you the disgrace of Egypt.” So that place has been 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 Israelites camped at Gilgal and celebrated Passover there on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month.
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 From the very next day they began to eat produce from the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.
Nan denmen Fèt Delivrans lan, yo manje manje yo rekòlte nan peyi a: grenn ble griye ak pen kwit san ledven.
12 On the same day when they began eating produce from the land there was no more manna. No longer did the Israelites have manna; after that they ate the produce of the land of Canaan.
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 One day 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 went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or against us?” “Neither,” said the man. “I am the commander of the Lord's army. Now I'm here!”
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 Joshua fell down with his face to the ground in awe. Then he said, “What orders does my lord have for 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 commander of the Lord's army told Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you're standing is holy ground.” 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.
