Joshua 5
1 And it comes to pass, when all the kings of the Amorite which [are] beyond the Jordan, toward the sea, and all the kings of the Canaanite which [are] by the sea, hear how that YHWH has dried up the waters of the Jordan at the presence of the sons of Israel until their passing over, that their heart is melted, and there has not been anymore spirit in them because of the presence of the sons of Israel.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa athamaki othe a Aamori arĩa maarĩ kũu mwena wa ithũĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, na athamaki othe a andũ a Kaanani arĩa maarĩ kũu ndwere-inĩ cia iria maiguire ũrĩa Jehova aahũithĩtie maaĩ ma Jorodani mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli nginya tũkĩrĩĩkia kũringa mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, ngoro ciao ikĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya, na matiacookire kũgĩa na ũũmĩrĩru wa kũngʼethanĩra na andũ a Isiraeli.
2 At that time YHWH said to Joshua, “Make knives of flint for yourself, and return, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time”;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Thondeka tũhiũ twa mahiga ma nyaigĩ, ũroke kwerũhia ũhoro wa irua harĩ andũ a Isiraeli.”
3 and Joshua makes knives of flint for himself, and circumcises the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩthondeka tũhiũ twa mahiga ma nyaigĩ na akĩruithia arũme a Isiraeli kũu Gibeathi-Haaralothu.
4 And this [is] the thing [for] which Joshua circumcises [them]: all the people who are coming out of Egypt, who are males, all the men of war have died in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out of Egypt,
Na rĩrĩ, kĩrĩa gĩatũmire Joshua aruithanie nĩ rĩĩrĩ: arũme arĩa othe mooimire bũrũri wa Misiri, o acio othe maakinyĩtie mĩaka ya gũthiĩ mbaara-rĩ, nĩmakuĩrĩire werũ-inĩ marĩ rũgendo-inĩ thuutha wa kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.
5 for all the people who are coming out were circumcised, and all the people who [are] born in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out from Egypt, they have not circumcised;
Arũme othe arĩa mooimire bũrũri wa Misiri nĩmaruĩte, no andũ othe arĩa maaciarĩirwo werũ-inĩ marĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwa kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri matiaruĩte.
6 for forty years the sons of Israel have gone in the wilderness, until all the nation of the men of war who are coming out of Egypt, who did not listen to the voice of YHWH, to whom YHWH has sworn not to show them the land which YHWH swore to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey, are consumed;
Andũ a Isiraeli moorũũrire werũ-inĩ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna nginya rĩrĩa andũ othe arĩa maakinyĩtie mĩaka ya gũthiĩ mbaara rĩrĩa moimaga bũrũri wa Misiri maakuire, tondũ nĩmaregire gwathĩkĩra Jehova. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩameerire na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ matikoona bũrũri ũrĩa eerĩire maithe mao na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩagatũhe, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.
7 and He raised up their sons in their stead, Joshua has circumcised them, for they have been uncircumcised, for they have not circumcised them in the way.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩarahũra ariũ ao ithenya rĩao, na acio nĩo maaruithirio nĩ Joshua. Maakoretwo matarĩ aruu nĩ ũndũ matiaruithĩtio marĩ rũgendo-inĩ.
8 And it comes to pass, when all the nation has completed to be circumcised, that they abide in their places in the camp until their recovering;
Na rĩrĩa maarĩkirie kũruithia arũme a rũrĩrĩ rũu ruothe, magĩikara o kũu maakĩte kambĩ-inĩ o nginya andũ acio makĩhona.
9 and YHWH says to Joshua, “Today I have rolled the reproach of Egypt from off you”; and [one] calls the name of that place Gilgal to this day.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩguo ndeheria rũmena rwa andũ a Misiri kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Giligali nginya ũmũthĩ.
10 And the sons of Israel encamp in Gilgal, and make the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho;
Hwaĩ-inĩ wa mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri ũcio, o maambĩte hema kũu Giligali werũ-inĩ wa Jeriko, andũ a Isiraeli magĩkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka.
11 and they eat of the old grain of the land on the next day of the Passover, unleavened things and roasted [grain], on this very same day;
Mũthenya ũrĩa warũmĩrĩire Bathaka-rĩ, mũthenya oro ũcio, makĩrĩa maciaro mamwe ma bũrũri ũcio; mĩgate ĩtarĩ mĩĩkĩre ndawa ya kũimbia, na ngano hĩhie.
12 and the manna ceases on the next day in their eating of the old grain of the land, and there has been no more manna for [the] sons of Israel, and they eat of the increase of the land of Canaan in that year.
Maarĩa irio cia bũrũri ũcio-rĩ, mana makĩrooka kwaga mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ; andũ a Isiraeli matiacookire kuona mana rĩngĩ, no rĩrĩ, mwaka ũcio nĩmarĩire maciaro ma Kaanani.
13 And it comes to pass in Joshua’s being by Jericho, that he lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, [there is] one standing in front of him, and his drawn sword [is] in his hand, and Joshua goes to him, and says to him, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?”
Rĩrĩa Joshua aarĩ hakuhĩ na Jeriko, agĩtiira maitho akĩona mũndũ warũgamĩte mbere yake acomorete rũhiũ njora, akarũnyiita na guoko. Nake Joshua agĩthiĩ o harĩa aarĩ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, ũrĩ mwena witũ kana ũrĩ mwena wa thũ ciitũ?”
14 And He says, “No, for I [am] Prince of YHWH’s host; now I have come”; and Joshua falls on his face to the earth, and pays respect, and says to Him, “What is my Lord speaking to His servant?”
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndirĩ mwena wanyu o na kana wa thũ cianyu, no njũkĩte ndĩ mũnene wa mbũtũ ya ita rĩa Jehova.” Nake Joshua akĩĩgũithia, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, akĩhooya, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee, Mwathi wakwa, nĩ ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩkũ ũkwenda kũũhe niĩ ndungata yaku?”
15 And the Prince of YHWH’s host says to Joshua, “Cast off your shoe from off your foot, for the place on which you are standing is holy”; and Joshua does so.
Nake mũnene ũcio wa mbũtũ ya ita rĩa Jehova agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Amba ũrute iraatũ ciaku magũrũ, nĩgũkorwo handũ hau ũrũgamĩte nĩ haamũre.” Nake Joshua agĩĩka o ta ũguo.
