Jozye 5

1 Alò, li te vin rive ke lè tout wa Amoreyen ki te lòtbò Jourdain yo vè lwès ak tout wa Canaran akote lanmè yo, te tande jan SENYÈ a te seche dlo Jourdain an devan fis Israël yo jiskaske yo te travèse, ke kè yo te fonn, e yo pa t gen kouraj nan yo ankò akoz fis Israël yo.

Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

2 Nan tan sa a, SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Fè pou ou menm kouto avèk silèks e sikonsi ankò fis Israël yo pou dezyèm fwa a.”

At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make yourself stone knives and give the children of Israel circumcision a second time.

3 Konsa, Josué te fè pou kont li kouto avèk silèks e te sikonsi fis Israël yo nan Gilbreath-Araloth.

So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth.

4 Men rezon pou sila Josué te sikonsi yo a: tout pèp la ki te sòti an Égypte nan gason yo, tout mesye lagè yo, te mouri nan dezè a nan wout lè yo fin kite Égypte.

And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

5 Paske tout mesye ki te sòti yo te sikonsi, men tout mesye ki te fèt nan dezè a nan wout la pandan yo sòti an Égypte la pa t ankò sikonsi.

All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.

6 Paske fis Israël yo te mache karantan nan dezè a, jis tout nasyon an, mesye lagè ki te sòti an Égypte yo, te peri akoz yo pa t koute vwa SENYÈ a, a sila SENYÈ a te sèmante ke Li pa t ap kite yo wè peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante bay zansèt pa yo pou bannou an, yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl.

For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Timoun ke Li te vin leve pou ranplase yo, Josué te sikonsi yo. Paske yo pa t sikonsi akoz ke yo pa t sikonsi yo nan wout la.

And their children, who came up in their place, now underwent circumcision by the hands of Joshua, not having had it before: for there had been no circumcision on the journey.

8 Alò, lè yo te fin sikonsi tout nasyon an, yo te rete nan plas yo nan kan an jiskaske yo te fin geri.

So when all the nation had undergone circumcision, they kept in their tents till they were well again.

9 Epi SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Jodi a, Mwen te woule fè sòti wont a Égypte la sou nou menm.” Konsa, jis jodi a, yo rele plas sa a Guilgal.

And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day.

10 Pandan fis Israël yo te rete Guilgal, yo te obsève Pak la nan lannwit katòzyèm jou nan mwa a nan plèn dezè a Jéricho a.

So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the lowlands of Jericho.

11 Nan jou apre Pak la, nan menm jou sa a, yo te manje kèk nan pwodwi tè yo, gato san ledven ak sereyal griye.

And on the day after the Passover, they had for their food the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and dry grain on the same day.

12 Lamàn te sispann nan jou apre yo te manje kèk nan pwodwi tè yo. Konsa, fis Israël yo pa t gen lamàn ankò, men yo te manje nan donn tè Canaran an pandan ane sa a.

And there was no more manna from the day after they had for their food the produce of the land; the children of Israel had manna no longer, but that year the produce of the land of Canaan was their food.

13 Alò, li te rive ke lè Josué te toupre Jéricho, li te leve zye li anwo e te gade, vwala, yon nonm te kanpe anfas li avèk nepe li rale nan men l. Josué te pwoche l, e li te di li: “Èske ou pou nou oswa kont nou?”

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, lifting up his eyes he saw a man in front of him, with his sword uncovered in his hand: and Joshua went up to him and said, Are you for us or against us?

14 Li te reponn: “Non; olye de sa, anverite mwen vini koulye a kòm kapitèn a lame SENYÈ a.” Konsa, Josué te tonbe atè sou figi li. Li te adore l e te di li: “Kisa mèt mwen an gen pou di a sèvitè li?”

And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?

15 Kapitèn a lame SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Retire sapat ou nan pye ou, paske plas kote ou kanpe a sen.” Epi Josué te fè l.

And the captain of the Lord's army said to Joshua, Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy. And Joshua did so.
