Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
Ɛberɛ a Amorifoɔ ahemfo nyinaa a wɔwɔ Yordan atɔeɛ fam ne Kanaanfoɔ ahemfo a wɔwɔ Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no mpoano tee sɛ Awurade ama Asubɔnten Yordan awe wɔ Israelfoɔ anim ama wɔatwa no, wɔn akoma tuiɛ na ehu kyekyeree wɔn.
2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make you sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
Saa ɛberɛ no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Yɛ twerɛboɔ sekammoa na fa twa Israelfoɔ no twetia bio.”
3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Enti, Yosua yɛɛ twerɛboɔ sekammoa no de twitwaa Israelfoɔ nyinaa twetia wɔ Aaralot kokoɔ so.
4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Na ɛsɛ sɛ Yosua twitwa wɔn twetia, ɛfiri sɛ, mmarima a na wɔanyinyini a wɔtumi ko wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔfirii Misraim no nyinaa awuwu wɔ ɛserɛ no so.
5 Now 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, them they had not circumcised.
Nnipa a wɔtu firii Misraim baeɛ no, na wɔatwitwa wɔn nyinaa twetia. Nanso wɔn a wɔwowoo wɔn wɔ ɛserɛ no so wɔ Otukorɔ berɛ no mu no deɛ, na wɔntwitwaa wɔn twetia.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that flows with milk and honey.
Israelfoɔ no kyinkyinii wɔ ɛserɛ no so mfeɛ aduanan kɔsii sɛ mmarima a wɔtumi ko wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔrefiri Misraim no nyinaa wuwuiɛ. Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔyɛɛ asoɔden maa Awurade, na ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔremma wɔn nan rensi asase a waka ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma yɛn no so, asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene wɔ so no.
7 And their children, whom he raised up in their position, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
Enti Yosua twitwaa wɔn mmammarima a wɔntwaa wɔn twetia no twetia wɔ ɛberɛ a na wɔrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so no. Yeinom yɛ wɔn a na wɔanyinyini a wɔtumi si wɔn agyanom anan mu no.
8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
Ɔtwaa mmarima no nyinaa twetia wieeɛ no, wɔgyee wɔn ahome wɔ atenaeɛ hɔ kɔsii 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 the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ mayi mo nkoayɛ wɔ Misraim ho animguaseɛ no afiri mo so.” Ɛno enti, wɔfrɛ beaeɛ hɔ Gilgal de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ no wɔ Gilgal atenaeɛ hɔ wɔ Yeriko asase parada no so no, wɔdii Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ. Saa bosome no na wɔde kae ɛberɛ a wɔtu firii Misraim no.
11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the next day after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the very same day.
Ɛda no ara, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dii apiti ne aburoo a wɔtwa firii asase no so a wɔakye.
12 And the manna ceased on the next day after they had eaten of the old corn 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 ɛda no na wɔanhunu bi nso bio. Enti, ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Israelfoɔ no dii Kanaan asase no so nnɔbaeɛ.
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 opposite to him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries?
Ɛberɛ a Yosua rebɛn Yeriko kuropɔn no, ɔpagyaa nʼani hunuu ɔbarima bi a ɔkura akofena rehyia no. Yosua kɔɔ ne nkyɛn bisaa no sɛ, “Wowɔ yɛn afa anaa woyɛ ɔtamfoɔ?”
14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What says my Lord unto his servant?
Na ɔbarima no buaa sɛ, “Menyɛ wɔn mu biara, meyɛ Awurade asraadɔm so safohene.” Yosua tee yei no, ɔdaa hɔ de nʼanim butuu fam wɔ anidie mu na ɔkaa sɛ, “Kyerɛ me deɛ menyɛ, ɛdeɛn na wopɛ sɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ yɛ?”
15 And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose your shoe from off your foot; for the place whereon you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
Awurade asraadɔm safohene no buaa sɛ, “Yi wo mpaboa na ɛha yɛ asase kronkron.” Na Yosua yɛɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
