Joshua 5

1 And it cometh to pass when all the kings of the Amorite which [are] beyond the Jordan, towards the sea, and all the kings of the Canaanite which [are] by the sea, hear how that Jehovah hath dried up the waters of the Jordan at the presence of the sons of Israel till their passing over, that their heart is melted, and there hath not been in them any more spirit because of the presence of the sons 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 said Jehovah unto Joshua, 'Make for thee knives of flint, and turn back, circumcise the sons of Israel a 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 and Joshua maketh for him knives of flint, and circumciseth the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Siosiua ʻae ngaahi hele māsila, ʻo ne kamuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi Kipahalaloti.

4 And this [is] the thing [for] which Joshua circumciseth [them]: all the people who are coming out of Egypt, who are males, all the men of war have died in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming 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 are coming out were circumcised, and all the people who [are] born in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out from Egypt, they have not 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 forty years have the sons of Israel gone in the wilderness, till all the nation of the men of war who are coming out of Egypt, who hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah, to whom Jehovah hath sworn not to show them the land which Jehovah sware to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey, are consumed;

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 and their sons He raised up in their stead, them hath Joshua circumcised, for they have been uncircumcised, for they have not circumcised them in 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 And it cometh to pass when all the nation have completed to be circumcised, that they abide in their places in the camp till their recovering;

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 and Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'To-day I have rolled the reproach of Egypt from off you;' and [one] calleth the name of that place Gilgal unto 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 And the sons of Israel encamp in Gilgal, and make 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 and they eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow of the passover, unleavened things and roasted [corn], in this self-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 and the manna doth cease on the morrow in their eating of the old corn of the land, and there hath been no more manna to the sons of Israel, and they eat of the increase of the land of Canaan in 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 And it cometh to pass in Joshua's being by Jericho, that he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, one standing over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua goeth unto him, and saith to him, 'Art thou for us or for our adversaries?'

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 And He saith, 'No, for I [am] Prince of Jehovah's host; now I have come;' and Joshua falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith to Him, 'What is my Lord speaking unto 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 And the Prince of Jehovah's host saith unto Joshua, 'Cast off thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou art standing is holy;' and Joshua doth 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.”
