Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, that were by the sea, heard how that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
Bere a Amorifo ahemfo nyinaa a wɔwɔ Yordan atɔe fam ne Kanaanfo ahemfo a wɔwɔ Po Kɛse no mpoano tee sɛ Awurade ama Asubɔnten Yordan ayow wɔ Israelfo anim ama wɔatwa no, wɔn koma tui, na ehu kyekyeree wɔn.
2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Make thee knives of flint, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.'
Saa bere no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Yɛ kyerɛwbo asekan na fa twa Israelfo no twetia bio.”
3 And Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the children of Israel at Gibeath-ha-araloth.
Enti, Yosua yɛɛ kyerɛwbo asekan no de twitwaa Israelfo nyinaa twetia wɔ Aaralot koko so.
4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: all the people that came forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt.
Na ɛsɛ sɛ Yosua twitwa wɔn twetia, efisɛ mmarima a na wɔanyinyin a wotumi ko bere a wofii Misraim no nyinaa awuwu wɔ sare no so.
5 For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.
Nnipa a wotu fii Misraim bae no, na wɔatwitwa wɔn nyinaa twetia, nanso wɔn a wɔwowoo wɔn wɔ sare no so wɔ akwantu bere no mu no de, na wontwitwaa wɔn twetia ɛ.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD; unto whom the LORD swore that He would not let them see the land which the LORD swore unto their fathers that He would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Israelfo no kyinkyinii wɔ sare no so mfe aduanan kosii sɛ mmarima a wotumi ko bere a wɔrefi Misraim no nyinaa wuwui. Efisɛ wɔyɛɛ asoɔden maa Awurade, na ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔremma wɔn ani nhu asase a waka ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so, asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so no.
7 And He raised up their children in their stead; them did Joshua circumcise; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised by the way.
Enti Yosua twitwaa wɔn mmabarima a wontwaa wɔn twetia no twetia bere a na wɔrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so no. Eyinom yɛ wɔn a na wɔanyinyin a wotumi si wɔn agyanom anan mu no.
8 And it came to pass, when all the nation were circumcised, every one of them, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
Otwaa mmarima no nyinaa twetia wiei no, wogyee wɔn ahome wɔ atenae hɔ kosii sɛ wɔn ho tɔɔ wɔn.
9 And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you.' Wherefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto this day.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Nnɛ mayi mo nkoayɛ wɔ Misraim ho animguase no afi mo so.” Ɛno nti, wɔfrɛ beae hɔ Gilgal de besi nnɛ.
10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
Bere a Israelfo no wɔ Gilgal atenae hɔ wɔ Yeriko asase pradada no so no, wodii Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere. Saa ɔsram no na wɔde kae bere a wotu fii Misraim no.
11 And they did eat of the produce of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched corn, in the selfsame day.
Da no ara, wofii ase dii apiti ne aburow a wɔatoto a wotwa fii asase no so.
12 And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Mana amma da no na wɔanhu bi nso bio. Enti, efi saa bere no, Israelfo no dii Kanaan asase no so nnɔbae.
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him: 'Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?'
Bere a Yosua rebɛn Yeriko kuropɔn mu no, ɔpagyaw nʼani huu ɔbarima bi a okura afoa rehyia no. Yosua kɔɔ ne nkyɛn bisaa no se, “Wowɔ yɛn afa anaa woyɛ ɔtamfo?”
14 And he said: 'Nay, but I am captain of the host of the LORD; I am now come.' And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said unto him: 'What saith my lord unto his servant?'
Na ɔbarima no buaa se, “Menyɛ wɔn mu biara, meyɛ Awurade nsraadɔm so safohene.” Yosua tee eyi no, ɔdaa hɔ de nʼanim butuu fam wɔ nidi mu na ɔkae se, “Kyerɛ me nea menyɛ, dɛn na wopɛ sɛ wo somfo yɛ?”
15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua: 'Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy.' And Joshua did so.
Awurade nsraadɔm safohene no buae se, “Yi wo mpaboa na ɛha yɛ asase kronkron.” Na Yosua yɛɛ nea ɔkyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
