Joshua 5
1 All the kings of the people-groups to the west of the Jordan River and all the kings of the groups who were descendants of Canaan and who lived close to the [Mediterranean] Sea heard about how Yahweh had dried up the water of the Jordan [River] until all we Israeli people had crossed over. So they became very dismayed. They no longer were courageous enough to fight us.
A: moulaide hina bagade dunu huluane Yodane Hano eso dabe na: iyadodili amola Ga: ina: naide hina bagade dunu Medidela: inia Wayabo bega: esalu da Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu degemusa: , Yodane Hano hafoga: i dagoi amo nabi. Ilia da bagadewane beda: i amola ilia gasa da fisi dagoi ba: i.
2 While [they were camped at Gilgal], Yahweh said to Joshua, “[The Israeli males who lived in Egypt were circumcised before they left there. Now] make knives from flint stones and circumcise all the Israeli males [who have been born since then].”
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Gasa bagade igi debele, gobihei hamone, Isala: ili dunu ilia gadofo damuma.”
3 So Joshua [made knives and] circumcised the Israeli males at a place that is now called ‘Circumcision Hill’.
Amaiba: le, Yosiua da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamoi. E da sogebi amoga ilia da Gadofo Damusu Agolo dio asuli, amoga Isala: ili dunu huluane ilia gadofo damui.
4 [The reason they did that is that all the men who left Egypt], those who were old enough to be soldiers, died in the desert after they left Egypt.
Ilia gadofo damusu bai da agoane. Ilia da Idibidi soge fisili asi amo esoga, dunu huluane ilia gadofo damui dagoi ba: i. Be ilia da wadela: i hafoga: i soge ode 40 amoga udigili ahoanoba, dunu mano huluane da gadofo hame damusu. Amo ode 40 da gidigisia, gegesu dawa: dunu huluane amo da Idibidi fisili masa: ne asi, amo huluane da Hina Gode Ea sia: hame nababeba: le, bogogia: i dagoi. Hina Gode Ea sia: i defele, ilia da soge ida: iwane gala E da ilia aowalali ilima ilegele imunu sia: i, hamedafa ba: i.
5 They had been circumcised in Egypt, but the baby boys who had been born while their parents were camping in the desert after they left Egypt had not been circumcised.
6 Our Israeli ancestors traveled around in the desert for 40 years, and all the men who were old enough to be soldiers had died. [The women had also died]. They had not obeyed Yahweh, so Yahweh said that they would not arrive at the land that he had promised to our ancestors that he would give to us, a land that was very fertile [MTY].
7 The sons of those who had disobeyed Yahweh were the ones whom Joshua circumcised at Gilgal. They were circumcised because they had not been circumcised [while they were traveling in the desert].
Amo dunu ilia mano da gadofo hame damusu. Yosiua da amo gaheabolo fi dunu ilia gadofo damui.
8 After all the Israeli males had been circumcised, they remained in the camp and rested until their wounds were healed.
Ilia gadofo damui dagoloba, Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da abula diasu gilisisu amoga ilia fa: gi bahoma: ne ouesalu.
9 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “[Because your forefathers were slaves in Egypt], the Egyptians felt a revulsion toward you. But today I have removed the revulsion the Egyptians have had toward you.” Because of that, the people called the place ‘Gilgal’, [which sounds like the Hebrew word ‘removed’, ] and it still has that name.
Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Dilia da Idibidi soge amo ganodini udigili se iasu hawa: hamobeba: le, gogosiasu lai. Na da wali eso amo gogosiasu bebesole, fadegai dagoi.” Amaiba: le, ilia amo sogebiga Giliga: le dio asuli. Amola amo dio da wali eso diala. (Giliga: le ea dawa: loma: ne da “bebesole fadegai dagoi”)
10 In the evening of the fourteenth day of that month, while the Israeli people were camped at Gilgal, on the plain near Jericho [city], they celebrated the Passover [Festival].
Isala: ili dunu da Giliga: le sogebi, umi soge Yeligou moilai bai bagade gadenene amoga esalea, ilia da amo oubi ganodini eso14 amoga Baligisu Lolo mai.
11 The next day, they found some barley grain in the fields in that area. So they took that and roasted it and ate it with bread that was made without yeast.
Nanu, aya esoga ilia da degabo ha: i manu Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini lai amo mai. Amo da gagoma gobei amola yisidi hame sali agi ga: gi.
12 The next day, [God] stopped [sending] manna for the Israeli people to eat. After that, they ate food that was grown in Canaan.
“Ma: na” amo ea gudu dasu da fisi, amola Isala: ili dunu da “ma: na” bu hame ba: i. Amo eso amola fa: no ilia da ha: i manu amo da Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini gamini fawane nasu.
13 One day when Joshua came near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword in his hand. Joshua approached him and asked him, “Are you [going to fight] for us or against us?”
Yosiua da Yeligou moilai bai bagade gadenene lelea, e da dunu gegesu gobihei bagade gaguli ea midadi lelebe ba: i. Yosiua da Ema asili, amane sia: i, “Dia da ninimagale dadi gagui dunu o ninima ha lai esalabala?”
14 The man replied, “I am not [planning to fight with you] or [against you]. Instead, I am the commander of Yahweh’s army [in heaven], and I have come [down from there to assure you that Yahweh will help you].” Then Joshua bowed down with his face on the ground (to show his respect for/to worship) the man, and said to him, “Tell me what [you want me to do].”
Dunu da bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Na da Hina Gode Ea gegesu dunu amo ilia Hina esalebe.” Yosiua da Hina Ema nodoma: ne osoboga diasa: ili, amane sia: i, “Hina! Na da dia hawa: hamosu dunu. Na da adi hamoma: bela: ?”
15 The commander of Yahweh’s army replied, “Take off your sandals! [I am Yahweh, and] the ground on which you are standing is holy because I am here.” So Joshua took off his sandals.
Amasea, Hina Gode Ea gegesu dunu ilia Hina da ema amane sia: i, “Dia emo salasu fadegama. Di da hadigi sogebi amoga lela!” Yosiua da ea sia: i defele hamoi.
