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.
Mgbe ndị eze ndị Amọrait niile, ndị bi nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ, na ndị eze ndị Kenan niile bi nʼakụkụ oke osimiri Mediterenịa, nụrụ na Onyenwe anyị emeela ka osimiri Jọdan takpọọ nʼihu ụmụ Izrel, ruo mgbe anyị niile gafesịrị, obi lọrọ ha mmiri. Ọ dịkwaghị ike ọbụla fọdụụrụ ha iguzo nʼihu ụmụ Izrel.
2 At that time YHWH said to Joshua, “Make knives of flint for yourself, and return, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time”;
Ma nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua okwu sị ya, “Jiri nkume mee mma ị ga-eji bie ụmụ Izrel niile ugwu ọzọ.”
3 and Joshua makes knives of flint for himself, and circumcises the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins.
Ya mere, Joshua ji nkume mee mma ntakịrị e ji bie ụmụ Izrel niile ugwu. Ebe a nọ bie ụmụ Izrel ugwu bụ ebe a na-akpọ Gibịat Haaralot.
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,
Nke a bụ ihe mere o ji mee otu a: Ndị ikom niile si nʼIjipt pụta, ndị tozuru ije agha, nwụrụ nʼụzọ, nʼime ọzara, mgbe ha hapụchara Ijipt.
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;
Mgbe ụmụ Izrel niile si Ijipt pụta, e biri ndị nwoke niile nọ nʼetiti ha ugwu. Ma nʼime iri afọ anọ ahụ ha na-awagharị nʼọzara, o nweghị ụmụ ha ndị nwoke a mụrụ nʼoge a e biri ugwu.
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;
Ndị Izrel niile awagharịala nʼọzara iri afọ anọ tutu ruo mgbe ndị ikom niile toruru ije agha, bụ ndị hapụrụ Ijipt nwụchara, ebe ọ bụ na ha jụrụ irubere Onyenwe anyị isi. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ṅụrụ iyi sị ha na ha agaghị ahụ ala ahụ anya, bụ ala ahụ o kwere nna nna ha na nkwa, inye anyị, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
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.
Onyenwe anyị mere ka ụmụ ndị nnupu isi a mụtara nọchie anya ha. Ọ bụkwa ndị a ka Joshua biri ugwu, nʼihi na tutu ruo ugbu a, e bibeghị ha ugwu.
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;
Mgbe e bizuru mba niile ahụ ugwu, ha nọdụrụ nʼebe ahụ ha mara ụlọ ikwu tutu ọnya obibi ugwu ha alaa.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua okwu sị, “Taa, ewezugala m site nʼebe unu nọ ihe nkọcha nke ya na Ijipt so.” Nʼihi nke a, ha kpọrọ ebe ahụ Gilgal. Ọ bụkwa aha ya ruo taa.
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;
Mgbe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Gilgal nʼala ihe nʼadịghị nke Jeriko, ha mere Mmemme Ngabiga nʼuhuruchi nke ụbọchị iri na anọ nke ọnwa ahụ.
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;
Nʼụbọchị sotere ụbọchị ngabiga, nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, ha riri ụfọdụ ihe ubi nke ala Kenan. Ọ bụ achịcha a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee, na ọka ahụrụ nʼọkụ ka ha tara.
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.
Mánà kwụsịkwara nʼechi ya mgbe ha riri nri sitere nʼala ahụ. Ụmụ Izrel ahụkwaghị mánà anya ọzọ, ma nʼafọ ahụ ha riri ihe omume ubi si nʼala Kenan.
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?”
Mgbe Joshua nọ nso obodo Jeriko, o weliri anya ya elu hụ otu nwoke ka o guzo nʼihu ya. Nwoke a mịpụtara mma agha ya jide ya nʼaka ya. Joshua jekwuru ya jụọ ya sị ya, “Ị dịnyeere anyị ka ị dịnyeere ndị iro anyị?”
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?”
Nwoke ahụ zaghachiri ya sị, “Ọ dịghị onye m dịnyeere, kama abịara m ugbu a dịka ọchịagha usuu ndị agha Onyenwe anyị.” Joshua dara nʼala kpuo ihu ya nʼala kpọọ isiala nye ya, sị ya, “Ejikerela m ime ihe ọbụla i nyere nʼiwu. Onyenwe m, gịnị ka ị chọrọ ka m mee?”
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.
Ọchịagha usuu ndị agha Onyenwe anyị zara sị Joshua, “Yipụ akpụkpọụkwụ gị, nʼihi na ebe ahụ i guzo bụ ala dị nsọ.” Joshua mere dịka ọ gwara ya.
