< 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.
And it came to pass when the kings of the Amorites who were beyond Jordan heard, and the kings of Phoenicia by the sea, that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan from before the children of Israel when they passed over, that their hearts failed, and they were terror-stricken, and there was no sense 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.”
And about this time the Lord said to Joshua, Make you stone knives of sharp stone, and sit down and circumcise the children of Israel the second time.
3 Konsa, Josué te fè pou kont li kouto avèk silèks e te sikonsi fis Israël yo nan Gilbreath-Araloth.
And Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the “Hill of Foreskins.”
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 way in which Joshua purified the children of Israel; as many as were born in the way, and as many as were uncircumcised of them that 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 these Joshua circumcised; for forty and two years Israel wondered in the wilderness of Mabdaris—
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.
Therefore most of the fighting men that came out of the land of Egypt, were uncircumcised, who disobeyed the commands of God; concerning whom also he determined that they should not see the land, which the Lord sware to give to their fathers, [even] 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 in their place he raised up their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised, having been born by the way.
8 Alò, lè yo te fin sikonsi tout nasyon an, yo te rete nan plas yo nan kan an jiskaske yo te fin geri.
And when they had been circumcised they rested continuing there in the camp till they were healed.
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 the son of Naue, On this day have I removed the reproach of Egypt from you: and he called the name of that place Galgala.
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.
And the children of Israel kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, to the westward of Jericho on the opposite side of the Jordan in the plain.
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 they ate of the grain of the earth unleavened and new [corn].
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.
In this day the manna failed, after they had eaten of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel no longer had manna: and they took the fruits of the land of the Phoenicians in that year.
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?”
And it came to pass when Joshua was in Jericho, that he looked up with his eyes and saw a man standing before him, and [there was] a drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua drew near and said to him, Are you for us or on the side of our enemies?
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 to him, I am now come, the chief captain of the host of the Lord. And Joshua fell on his face upon the earth, and said to him, Lord, what command you your 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 host said to Joshua, Loose your shoe off your feet, for the place whereon you now stand is holy.
