Joshua 5
1 And it happened, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who 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 had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children 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, the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Thondeka tũhiũ twa mahiga ma nyaigĩ, ũroke kwerũhia ũhoro wa irua harĩ andũ a Isiraeli.”
3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the Hill of the Foreskins.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩthondeka tũhiũ twa mahiga ma nyaigĩ na akĩruithia arũme a Isiraeli kũu Gibeathi-Haaralothu.
4 This is the reason Joshua circumcised: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came 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 came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt had not been 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 the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD, those to whom the LORD swore that they would not see the land which the LORD swore to their ancestors that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
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 their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on 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 happened, when they were done circumcising all the nation, that they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
Na rĩrĩa maarĩkirie kũruithia arũme a rũrĩrĩ rũu ruothe, magĩikara o kũu maakĩte kambĩ-inĩ o nginya andũ acio makĩhona.
9 And the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from off you." Therefore the name of that place was called 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 The children of Israel camped in Gilgal. They kept 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 They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the 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 The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel did not have manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan 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 It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and look, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him, and said 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 said to him, "Truly I am the commander of the army of the LORD. Now I have come." And Joshua fell facedown to the ground and worshipped, and said to him, "What does my lord say 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 The commander of the army of the LORD said to Joshua, "Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy." Joshua did 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.
