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.
Bere a Amorifo ahemfo nyinaa a wɔwɔ Yordan atɔe fam ne Kanaanfo ahemfo a wɔwɔ Po Kɛse no mpoano tee sɛ Awurade ama Asubɔnten Yordan ayow wɔ Israelfo anim ama wɔatwa no, wɔn koma tui, na ehu kyekyeree wɔn.
2 At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and once more circumcise all the males of Israel.”
Saa bere no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Yɛ kyerɛwbo asekan na fa twa Israelfo no twetia bio.”
3 Then Joshua made himself flint knives and he circumcised all the males of Israel at Gibeath Haaraloth.
Enti, Yosua yɛɛ kyerɛwbo asekan no de twitwaa Israelfo nyinaa twetia wɔ Aaralot koko so.
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.
Na ɛsɛ sɛ Yosua twitwa wɔn twetia, efisɛ mmarima a na wɔanyinyin a wotumi ko bere a wofii Misraim no nyinaa awuwu wɔ sare no so.
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.
Nnipa a wotu fii Misraim bae no, na wɔatwitwa wɔn nyinaa twetia, nanso wɔn a wɔwowoo wɔn wɔ sare no so wɔ akwantu bere no mu no de, na wontwitwaa wɔn twetia ɛ.
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.
Israelfo no kyinkyinii wɔ sare no so mfe aduanan kosii sɛ mmarima a wotumi ko bere a wɔrefi Misraim no nyinaa wuwui. Efisɛ wɔyɛɛ asoɔden maa Awurade, na ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔremma wɔn ani nhu asase a waka ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so, asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so no.
7 It was their children that Yahweh raised up in their place that Joshua circumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
Enti Yosua twitwaa wɔn mmabarima a wontwaa wɔn twetia no twetia bere a na wɔrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so no. Eyinom yɛ wɔn a na wɔanyinyin a wotumi si wɔn agyanom anan mu no.
8 When they were all circumcised, they remained where they were in the camp until they healed.
Otwaa mmarima no nyinaa twetia wiei no, wogyee wɔn ahome wɔ atenae hɔ kosii sɛ wɔn ho tɔɔ wɔn.
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.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Nnɛ mayi mo nkoayɛ wɔ Misraim ho animguase no afi mo so.” Ɛno nti, wɔfrɛ beae hɔ Gilgal de besi nnɛ.
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.
Bere a Israelfo no wɔ Gilgal atenae hɔ wɔ Yeriko asase pradada no so no, wodii Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere. Saa ɔsram no na wɔde kae bere a wotu fii Misraim no.
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.
Da no ara, wofii ase dii apiti ne aburow a wɔatoto a wotwa fii asase no so.
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.
Mana amma da no na wɔanhu bi nso bio. Enti, efi saa bere no, Israelfo no dii Kanaan asase no so nnɔbae.
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?”
Bere a Yosua rebɛn Yeriko kuropɔn mu no, ɔpagyaw nʼani huu ɔbarima bi a okura afoa rehyia no. Yosua kɔɔ ne nkyɛn bisaa no se, “Wowɔ yɛn afa anaa woyɛ ɔtamfo?”
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?”
Na ɔbarima no buaa se, “Menyɛ wɔn mu biara, meyɛ Awurade nsraadɔm so safohene.” Yosua tee eyi no, ɔdaa hɔ de nʼanim butuu fam wɔ nidi mu na ɔkae se, “Kyerɛ me nea menyɛ, dɛn na wopɛ sɛ wo somfo yɛ?”
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.
Awurade nsraadɔm safohene no buae se, “Yi wo mpaboa na ɛha yɛ asase kronkron.” Na Yosua yɛɛ nea ɔkyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
