Joshua 5
1 As soon as all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were along the coast of the Great Sea, heard that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan until the people of Israel had crossed over, their hearts melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel.
Nzokande, tango bakonzi nyonso ya Amori, na ngambo ya weste ya Yordani, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya Kanana, pene ya ebale monene ya Barozo, bayokaki ndenge nini Yawe akawusaki ebale Yordani liboso ya bana ya Isalaele kino tango basilisaki kokatisa, mitema na bango ebukanaki mpe bazalaki lisusu na makasi te ya kotelemela bana ya Isalaele.
2 At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and once more circumcise all the males of Israel.”
Na tango wana, Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Sala bambeli ya mabanga mpe kata lisusu bana mibali ya Isalaele ngenga.
3 Then Joshua made himself flint knives and he circumcised all the males of Israel at Gibeath Haaraloth.
Jozue asalaki bambeli ya mabanga mpe akataki bana mibali ya Isalaele ngenga, pene ya ngomba moke ya Araloti.
4 This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: All the males who had come out of Egypt, including all the men of war, had died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out from Egypt.
Tala mpo na nini Jozue asengelaki kokata bango ngenga: Mibali nyonso oyo babimaki na Ejipito mpe bakokisaki mibu ya kobunda bitumba bakufaki na nzela, kati na esobe, sima na bango kobima na Ejipito.
5 Though all the males who came out of Egypt were circumcised, still, none of the boys born in the wilderness on the way out of Egypt had been circumcised.
Mibali nyonso oyo babimaki na Ejipito bakatamaki ngenga; kasi bato nyonso oyo babotamaki na nzela, kati na esobe, bakatamaki ngenga te.
6 For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the people, that is, all the men of war who had come out of Egypt, died, because they did not obey the voice of Yahweh. Yahweh swore to them that he would not let them see the land that he had sworn to their ancestors that he would give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Bana ya Isalaele batambolaki kati na esobe mibu tuku minei, kino tango ekeke mobimba ya mibali oyo bakokisaki mibu ya kobunda bitumba tango babimaki na Ejipito basilaki kokufa. Mpo ete batosaki Yawe te, Yawe alapaki ndayi ete bakomona te mokili oyo alakaki kopesa epai ya batata na bango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
7 It was their children that Yahweh raised up in their place that Joshua circumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
Boye, atombolaki bana na esika ya batata na bango; yango wana Jozue akataki bango ngenga, pamba te bakatamaki ngenga te na nzela.
8 When they were all circumcised, they remained where they were in the camp until they healed.
Sima na ekolo mobimba kokatama ngenga, batikalaki esika moko kati na molako kino tango bapota na bango ekawukaki.
9 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” So, the name of that place has been called Gilgal until this present day.
Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Lelo, natindiki soni ya Ejipito mosika na bino. Babengaki esika yango « Giligali » kino na mokolo ya lelo.
10 The people of Israel camped at Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, on the plains of Jericho.
Na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza wana, bana ya Isalaele basalaki feti ya Pasika, wana bazalaki nanu na molako ya Giligali, na etando ya Jeriko.
11 On the day after Passover, that same day, they ate some of the produce of the land on the day, unleavened bread and roasted grain.
Mokolo oyo elandaki feti ya Pasika, baliaki biloko ya mokili ya Kanana: mapa ezanga levire mpe bambuma ya ble oyo bakalingaki kaka mokolo wana.
12 The manna stopped on the day after they ate the produce of the land. There was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate the produce of the land of Canaan that year.
Mokolo oyo elandaki mokolo oyo baliaki biloko ya mokili ya Kanana, mana etikaki kokweya; mana ezalaki lisusu te mpo na bana ya Isalaele. Boye, na mobu wana, baliaki biloko ya mokili ya Kanana.
13 When Joshua was near Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing in front of him; he had drawn his sword and it was in his hand. Joshua went to him and said, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
Nzokande, tango Jozue azalaki pene ya Jeriko, atombolaki miso mpe amonaki moto moko atelemi liboso na ye; moto yango asimbaki mopanga na loboko na ye. Jozue apusanaki pene na ye mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, ozali na ngambo na biso to na ngambo ya banguna na biso?
14 He said, “Neither. For I am the commander of the army of Yahweh. Now I have come.” Then Joshua lay facedown on the ground to worship and said to him, “What does my master say to his servant?”
Azongiselaki Jozue: — Te, kasi nazali mokonzi ya mampinga ya Yawe; nayei kaka sik’oyo. Boye, Jozue akweyaki elongi kino na mabele mpe alobaki na ye: — Sango nini nkolo na ngai azali na yango mpo na mosali na ye?
15 The commander of Yahweh's army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, because the place you are standing is holy.” That is what Joshua did.
Mokonzi ya mampinga ya Yawe alobaki na ye: — Longola basapato na yo na makolo, pamba te esika oyo ozali ezali bule. Jozue asalaki se bongo.
