< 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.
Aa naho jinanji’ o hene mpanjaka’ o nte-Amore alafe’ Iardeney mañandrefañeo, naho ze hene mpanjaka’ o nte Kanàne marine i riakey te nimaihe’ Iehovà aolo’ o ana’ Israeleo o rano’ Iardeneo ampara’ t’ie tafatsàke, le nitronake ty arofo’ iareo vaho tsy naha­kofòke ty amo ana’ Israeleo.
2 At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."
Ie henane zay, hoe t’Iehovà am’ Iehosoa: Tse­neo meso am-bato pìlake vaho savaro indraike o ana’ Israeleo ho fañindroe’e.
3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the Hill of the Foreskins.
Aa le nitsene mesom-bato pilake t’Iehosoa, vaho nisavare’e e Gibeate-ha-aralote eo o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Zao ty talim-panavara’ Iehosoa iareo: toe nihomak’ am-patrambey an-dalañe eo ze hene ondaty niakatse i Mitsraimeo; o lahilahio, o lahindefoñeo, ie fa niavotse i Mitsraime.
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.
Fa nivotso-boy ondaty iaby niakatse boak’aoo, fe tsy nisavareñe ze hene ondaty nasamak’ am-patrambey amy lalañe niakara’ iareo i Mitsraimey,
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.
amy te efa-polo taoñe ty nañaveloa’ o ana’ Israeleo am-patrambey añe, ampara’ te nihomake i fifeheañe iabiy, o lahindefoñe niavotse i Mitsraimeo, ie tsy nañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà; i nifantà’ Iehovà te tsy hapò’e hahaoniñe i tane nifantà’ Iehovà aman-droae’ iareo te hatolo’e antikañey, tane orikorihen-dronono naho tanteley.
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.
Aa le nibeize’e o ana’ iareoo handimbe iareo, ie ty nisavare’ Iehosoa, tinampake kanao tsy nivo­tso-boy amy lalañey.
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.
Naho niheneke ty fanavarañe i valobohòke iabiy le nitofa an-tobe’e ao ampara’ te nimelañe.
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.
Hoe ty tsara’Iehovà am’Iehosoa: Anindroany t’ie namarimbariñe ty inje’ i Mitsraime tsy ho ama’ areo. Aa le nitokaveñe ty hoe Gilgale i toetsey, ampara’ te henane.
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.
Ie nitobe e Gilgale ao o ana’ Israeleo le nambena’ iareo i Fihelañ’ amboney ami’ty hariva’ i andro faha folo-efats’ ambi’ i volañeiy amonto’ Ieriko ey.
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.
Nikamà’ iareo ty voka’ ela’ i taney amy loak’ andro’ i Fihelañ’ Amboney: mofo po-dalivay naho tsako tono amy àndroy.
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.
Nijihetse amy andro naño­rike i nikamà’ iareo ty voka’ i taneiy i maney vaho tsy nahazo mane ka o ana’ Israeleo, f’ie nikama ty vokan-tane Kanàne amy taoñe zay.
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?"
Narine’ Ieriko t’Iehosoa t’ie nampiandra fihaino naho nahaisake te inge t’indaty aolo’e, am-pi­tà’e ty fibara tsinoake; vaho nimb’ ama’e mb’eo t’Iehosoa, nanao ty hoe: Ama’ay v’iheo ke amo rafe­lahi’aio?
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?"
Le hoe re, Aiy! Izaho mpifehe o lahindefo’ Iehovào ty nivotrahako etoa. Aa le nibabok’ an-daha­ra’e an-tane eo t’Iehosoa le niam­bane nanao ty hoe: Ino o ho saontsie’ ty talèko amy mpitoro’eio?
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.
Le hoe ty mpifehen-dahindefo’ Iehovào tam’ Iehosoa: Afaho am-pandia’o o hana’oo; amy te miavake o toetse johañe’oo. Le nanoe’ Iehosoa.
