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.
Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ọba Amori ti ìlà-oòrùn Jordani àti gbogbo àwọn ọba Kenaani tí ń bẹ létí òkun gbọ́ bí Olúwa ti mú Jordani gbẹ ní iwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli títí ti a fi kọjá, ọkàn wọn pami, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò ní ìgboyà mọ́ láti dojúkọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
2 At that time the Lord told Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the new generation of Israelites.”
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Joṣua pé, “Fi akọ òkúta ṣe abẹ kí o sì kọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ilà ní ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀kejì.”
3 Joshua had flint knives made and all male Israelites were circumcised at the place that became known as “the hill of foreskins.”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua sì ṣe abẹ akọ òkúta, ó sì kọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ilà, ní Gibiati-Haralotu.
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.
Wàyí o, ìdí tí Joṣua fi kọ wọ́n nílà nìyìí. Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ti Ejibiti jáde wá, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin ogun kú ní aginjù ní ọ̀nà lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
5 They had all been circumcised when they left Egypt, but those born on the journey since then had not.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin tó jáde láti Ejibiti ni a ti kọ ní ilà, síbẹ̀ gbogbo ènìyàn tí a bí nínú aginjù lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n jáde ní Ejibiti ni wọn kò kọ ní ilà.
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.
Àwọn ará Israẹli rìn ní aginjù fún ogójì ọdún títí gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó tó ogun n jà nígbà tí wọ́n kúrò ni Ejibiti fi kú, nítorí wọn kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa. Nítorí Olúwa ti búra fún wọn pé wọn kò ní rí ilẹ̀ tí òun ṣe ìlérí fún àwọn baba wọn láti fi fun wa, ilẹ̀ tí ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó gbé àwọn ọmọ wọn dìde dípò wọn, àwọn wọ̀nyí sì ni Joṣua kọ ní ilà. Wọ́n wà ní aláìkọlà nítorí a kò tí ì kọ wọ́n ní ilà ní ojú ọ̀nà.
8 Once they had all been circumcised, they stayed in the camp until they recovered.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè náà kọ ilà tan, wọ́n dúró ní ibi tí wọ́n wà ní ibùdó títí ilà wọn fi jinná.
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.
Nígbà náà ní Olúwa wí fún Joṣua pé, “Ní òní ni mo yí ẹ̀gàn Ejibiti kúrò ní orí yín.” Nítorí náà ni a ṣe ń pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Gilgali títí ó fi di òní yìí.
10 The Israelites camped at Gilgal and celebrated Passover there on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month.
Ní ìrọ̀lẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù náà, nígbà tí wọ́n pàgọ́ ní Gilgali ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Jeriko, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe ọdún àjọ ìrékọjá.
11 From the very next day they began to eat produce from the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.
Ní ọjọ́ kejì àjọ ìrékọjá, ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni, wọ́n jẹ nínú àwọn ìre oko ilẹ̀ náà: àkàrà aláìwú, àti ọkà yíyan.
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.
Manna náà sì tan ní ọjọ́ kejì tí wọ́n jẹ oúnjẹ tí ilẹ̀ náà mú jáde, kò sì sí manna kankan mọ́ fún àwọn ará Israẹli, ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún náà wọ́n jẹ ìre oko ilẹ̀ Kenaani.
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!”
Nígbà tí Joṣua súnmọ́ Jeriko, ó wo òkè ó sì rí ọkùnrin kan tí ó dúró ní iwájú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀. Joṣua sì tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, ó sì bi í pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ wà fún wa tàbí fún ọ̀tá a wa?”
14 Joshua fell down with his face to the ground in awe. Then he said, “What orders does my lord have for his servant?”
“Kì í ṣe fún èyíkéyìí ó fèsì, ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí olórí ogun Olúwa ni mo wá nísinsin yìí.” Nígbà náà ni Joṣua sì wólẹ̀ ní iwájú u rẹ̀ ní ìbẹ̀rù, ó sì bi í léèrè, “Kí ni Olúwa ní í sọ fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀?”
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.
Olórí ogun Olúwa sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Bọ́ sálúbàtà rẹ kúrò ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ, nítorí pé ibi tí ìwọ dúró sí yìí, ilẹ̀ mímọ́ ni.” Joṣua sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
