< Joshua 5 >

1 Therfor aftir that alle kyngis of Ammorreys herden, that dwelliden ouer Jordan at the west coost, and alle the kyngis of Canaan, that weldiden nyy places of the greet see, that the Lord hadden dried the flowyngis of Jordan bifor the sones of Israel, til thei passiden, the herte of hem was failid, and spirit dwellide not in hem, dredynge the entring of the sones of Israel.
Mara tu waliposikia wafalme wa Waamori walio upande wa magharibi wa Yordani, na wafalme wote wa Wakanaani waliokuwa katika pwani ya Ziwa kuu, waliposikia ya kwamba Yahweh alikuwa ameyakausha maji ya Yordani mpaka pale waisraeli wote walipomaliza kuvuka, mioyo yao ikayeyuka, na hapakuwa na moyo wowote ndani yao kwa sababu ya watu wa Israeli.
2 In that tyme the Lord seide to Josue, Make to thee knyues of stoon, and circumside thou the sones of Israel, in the secunde tyme.
Kwa wakati huo Yahweh alimwambia Yoshua, “Tengenezeni visu vya mawe na mara moja mwatahiri wanaume wote wa Israeli.”
3 Josue dide tho thingis whiche the Lord comaundide, and he circumside the sones of Israel in the `hil of prepucies.
Kisha Yoshua alijifanyia visu vya mawe na akawatahiri wanaume wote wa Gibea Haaraloti.
4 Sotheli this is the cause of the secunde circumcisioun; al the puple of male kynde, that yede out of Egipt, alle men fiyteris, weren deed in deseert bi the lengeste cumpassis of weie,
Na hii ndo sababu ya Yoshua kuwatahiri; wanaume wote waliotoka Misri, pamoja na wanaume wa vita walikuwa wamekwisha kufa njiani katika nyikani, baada ya kukwea kutoka Misri.
5 whiche alle weren circumsidid. Sotheli the puple
Ingawa wanaume wote waliotoka Misri walikuwa wametahiriwa, bado hapakuwa na kijana yeyote aliyekuwa ametahiriwa kati ya vijana wote waliozaliwa nyikani katika njia ya kutoka Misri.
6 that was borun in deseert bi fourti yeer, in the weie of broddeste wildirnesse, was vncircumsidid til thei weren waastid, that herden not the `vois of the Lord, and to whiche he swoor bifore, that he schulde schewe to hem the lond flowynge with mylk and hony.
Kwasababu watu wa Israeli walitembea nyikani miaka arobaini, mpaka watu wa vita, yaani wanaume wote waliotoka Misri walikufa, kwasababu hawakuitii sauti ya Yahweh. Yahweh aliwaapia kwamba hawataruhusu kuiona nchi ambayo aliwaapia mababa zao kwamba angetupatia sisi, nchi inayotiririka maziwa na asali.
7 The sones of hem camen aftirward in to the place of fadris, and thei weren circumsidid of Josue; whiche, as thei weren borun, weren in prepucie, nether ony man hadde circumsidid hem in the weie.
Na badala yao, Yahweh aliwainua watoto wao kuchukua nafasi zao ambao Yoshua aliwatahiri, kwasababu walikuwa bado hajatahiriwa njiani.
8 Forsothe aftir that alle weren circumsidid, thei dwelliden in the same place of tentis, til thei weren heelid.
Walipokwisha kutahiriwa wote, walibaki mahali walipokuwa katika kambi mpaka walipopona.
9 And the Lord seide to Josue, To dai Y haue take awei fro you the schenschip of Egipt. And the name of that place was clepid Galgala, `til in to present dai.
Na Yahweh akasema na Yoshua, “Siku hii nimeiondoa kwenu aibu ya Misri.” Hivyo, mahali pale paliitwa Gilgali hadi leo.
10 And the sones of Israel dwelliden in Galgalis, and maden pask in the fourtenthe dai of the monethe at euentide, in the feeldi places of Jerico;
Watu wa Israeli walipiga kambi hapo Gilgali. Waliitunza Pasaka katika siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi, wakati wa jioni, katika uwanda wa Yeriko.
11 and `thei eten of the fruytis of the lond `in the tothir day, therf looues, and potage of the same yeer, `ether cornys seengid and frotid in the hond.
Na siku iliyofuata baada ya Pasaka, walikula sehemu ya mazao ya nchi, mikate isiyotiwa chachu na nafaka iliyokaangwa katika siku hiyo iyo.
12 And manna failide aftir that thei eten of the fruytis of the lond; and the sones of Israel vsiden no more that mete, but thei eten of the fruytis of present yeer of the lond of Canaan.
Mana zilikoma siku ile walipokula mazao ya nchi. Hapakuwa tena na mana kwa watu wa Israeli, bali walikula mazao ya nchi ya Kanaani mwaka huo.
13 Sothely whanne Josue was in the feeld of the cite of Jerico, he reiside the iyen, and siy a man stondynge ayens hym, and holdynge a drawun swerd; and Josue yede out to hym, and seide, Art thou oure, ethir `of aduersaries?
Wakati Yoshua alipokaribia Yeriko, aliinua macho na kuangalia, na tazama, mtu alikuwa amesimama mbele yake, alikuwa amechomoa upanga wake na ulikuwa mkononi mwake. Yoshua alimwendea na kumwambia, “Je uko kwa ajili yetu au kwa ajli ya maadui zetu?”
14 To whom he answeride, Nay, but Y am prince of the `hoost of the Lord, and now Y come. Josue felde lowe to erthe, and worschipide, and seide, What spekith my Lord to his seruaunt?
Akajibu, la hasha. Maana mimi ni amiri wa jeshi la Yahweh. Sasa nimekuja. Kisha Yoshua akainamisha uso wake juu ya nchi akaabudu na akamwambia, “Bwana wangu anasema nini kwa mtumwa wake?”
15 He seide, Vnlace thi schoo fro thi feet, for the place, in which thou stondist, is hooli. And Josue dide, as it was comaundid to hym.
Amiri wa jeshi la Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Vua viatu vyako miguuni mwako, kwasababu sehemu uliyosimama ni takatifu.” Na Yoshua akafanya hivyo.
