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 LOHE na'lii a pau o ka Amora, ka poe i noho ma ia aoao o Ioredane ma ke komohana, a me na'lii a pau o ko Kanaana, ka poe i noho makai, i hoomaloo o Iehova i na wai o Ioredane, mamua o na mamo a Iseraela, a pau kakou i ka hele ae, maule iho la ko lakou naau, aole hoi i koe ke aho iloko o lakou imua o na mamo a Iseraela.
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].”
Ia manawa, olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, E hana oe i mau pahi oi nau, a e okipoepoe hou i na mamo a Iseraela, o ka lua ia.
3 So Joshua [made knives and] circumcised the Israeli males at a place that is now called ‘Circumcision Hill’.
Hana iho la o Iosua i mau pahi oi, a okipoepoe mai la i na mamo a Iseraela, ma ka puu omaka.
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.
No keia mea hoi i okipoepoe ai o Iosua ia lakou; o na kanaka a pau i hele mai, mai Aigupita mai, o ka poe kane i makaukau i ke kaua, pau lakou i ka make ma ka waonahele, ma ke ala a lakou i hele ai mawaho mai o Aigupita.
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.
Ua okipoepoeia no na kanaka a pau i hele mai mawaho; aka, o ka poe i hanau ma ka waonahele, i ka puka ana mai mawaho o Aigupita, aole lakou i okipoepoeia.
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].
Hookahi kanaha makahiki i auwana ai na mamo a Iseraela ma ka waonahele, a pau i ka make ka lahuikaua, ka poe i hele mai mai Aigupita mai, i hoolohe ole i ka leo o Iehova. Hoohiki no o Iehova ia lakou, aole e hoike mai ia lakou i ka aina ana i hoohiki ai i ko lakou mau makua, e haawi mai no lakou, he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
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].
A o ka lakou poe keiki, ana i hoopuka mai ai, oia ka Iosua i okipoepoe iho ai; no ka mea, ua okipoepoe ole ia lakou, aole lakou i okipoepoeia ma ke ala,
8 After all the Israeli males had been circumcised, they remained in the camp and rested until their wounds were healed.
A i ka wa i hoopau ai lakou i ke okipoepoe ana i kanaka a pau, alaila, noho iho la lakou ma ko la kou wahi i hoomoana'i, a ola lakou.
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.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, I keia la ua olokaa wale aku au, mai o oukou aku, i ka hoino ana o Aigupita. Nolaila ua kapaia ka inoa o ia wahi, o Gilegala, a hiki mai i keia la.
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].
Hoomoana no na mamo a Iseraela ma Gilegala, a malama iho la lakou i ka moliaola, i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama, i ke ahiahi, ma na wahi papu o Ieriko.
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.
I ka la mahope iho o ka moliaola, ai no lakou i ka ai o ka aina, a ia la no pulehu lakou i ka berena hu ole.
12 The next day, [God] stopped [sending] manna for the Israeli people to eat. After that, they ate food that was grown in Canaan.
Ia la iho, mahope o ka lakou ai ana i ka ai o ka aina, oki iho la ka mane, aole mane hou na na mamo a Iseraela. A ai no lakou i ka ai o ka aina ma Kanaana ia makahiki.
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?”
Eia hoi kekahi, i ko Iosua noho ana imua o Ieriko, alawa ae la kona maka iluna, nana aku la, aia hoi! ku mai la kekahi kanaka imua ona, me ka pahikaua i unuhiia ma kona lima. Hele aku la o Iosua io na la, i aku la, Ma o makou nei anei oe, ma ko makou enemi paha?
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].”
I mai la kela, Aole, ua hele mai nei au i alii koa no ko Iehova puali. Moe iho la ko Iosua alo ma ka honua, hoomana aku la, i aku la ia ia, Heaha ka kuu Haku e olelo mai nei i kau kauwa?
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.
Olelo mai la ke alii koa o ko Iehova puali ia Iosua, E wehe ae oe i kou mau kamaa, mai kou kapnwai aku, no ka mea, he wahi hoano kau e ku nei. A hana no o Iosua pela.
