Joshua 5
1 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 Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he potu ʻo Sioatani ki lulunga, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kau Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe ofi ki tahi, kuo fakamamaha ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo Sioatani mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kanau hoko atu kotoa pē, naʻe vaivai ai honau loto, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi tenau kei fiemālie, koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
2 At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Ngaohi maʻau ʻae ngaahi hele māsila, pea toe kamuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko hono liunga ua.”
3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Siosiua ʻae ngaahi hele māsila, ʻo ne kamuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi Kipahalaloti.
4 This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni naʻe fai ai ʻe Siosiua ʻae kamu: Ko e kakai tangata kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei ʻIsipite, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē, naʻe mate ʻi he hala ʻi he toafa, hili ʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipite.
5 For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
Pea ko eni, naʻe kamuʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei ʻIsipite: ka ko e fānau kotoa pē naʻe tupu ʻi he hala ʻi he toafa ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipite, naʻe ʻikai kamuʻi ʻakinautolu.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice. Yahweh swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which Yahweh swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
He naʻe feʻaluʻaki fano ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ʻi he toafa, ke ʻoua ke ʻosiʻosingamālie ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova: ʻakinautolu naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova, ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahā ʻae fonua kiate kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ke ne foaki kiate kitautolu, ko e fonua ʻoku mahutāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi.
7 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.
Pea ko ʻenau fānau, ʻaia kuo ne fokotuʻu hake ko honau fetongi, ko kinautolu naʻe kamuʻi ʻe Siosiua: he naʻe teʻeki kamuʻi ʻakinautolu, he naʻe ʻikai tenau kamuʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala.
8 When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻenau kamuʻi ʻo ʻosi ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa nau nofo pe ʻi honau ngaahi potu ʻi he ʻapitanga ke ʻoua kenau moʻui.
9 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Kuo u tekaʻi ʻiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni ʻae manuki ʻo ʻIsipite.” Ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae potu ko ia, ko Kilikali ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
10 The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
Pea naʻe ʻapitanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Kilikali, ʻonau fai ʻa e [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻi he efiafi ʻi he ngaahi tafangafanga ʻo Seliko.
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.
Pea naʻa nau kai ʻae uite motuʻa ʻoe fonua ʻi he pongipongi ʻi he hili ʻa e [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu, ko e mā taʻefakalēvani, mo e uite tunu ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia.
12 The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Pea naʻe tuku leva ʻae mana ʻi he pongipongi hili ʻenau kai ʻae uite motuʻa ʻoe fonua; pea naʻe ʻikai toe maʻu ʻae mana ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ka naʻa nau kai ʻae fua ʻoe fonua ko Kēnani ʻi he taʻu ko ia.
13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, 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 enemies?”
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻI he tuʻu ʻa Siosiua ʻo ofi ki Seliko, pea hanga hake ʻe ia hono mata ʻo sio atu, pea vakai, naʻe tuʻu mai ha tangata ʻo hangatonu mai kiate ia mo e heletā kuo unuhi ʻi hono nima: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Siosiua kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, ʻOku ke kau mo kimautolu, pe ki homau ngaahi fili?”
14 He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
Pea pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻIkai, ka kuo u haʻu ni au, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe tau ʻa Sihova.” Pea naʻe fakafoʻohifo ʻe Siosiua ʻa hono mata ki he kelekele, ʻo ne hū, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae folofola ʻa hoku ʻeiki ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki?”
15 The prince of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki tau ʻoe tau ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Vete ho topuvaʻe mei ho vaʻe; he ko e potu ʻoku ke tuʻu ai, ko e potu māʻoniʻoni. Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Siosiua.”
