Iosua 5

1 A LOHE na'lii a pau o ka Amora, ka poe i noho ma ia aoao o Ioredane ma ke komohana, a me na'lii a pau o ko Kanaana, ka poe i noho makai, i hoomaloo o Iehova i na wai o Ioredane, mamua o na mamo a Iseraela, a pau kakou i ka hele ae, maule iho la ko lakou naau, aole hoi i koe ke aho iloko o lakou imua o na mamo a Iseraela.

Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and their spirits failed for fear of the Israelites.

2 Ia manawa, olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, E hana oe i mau pahi oi nau, a e okipoepoe hou i na mamo a Iseraela, o ka lua ia.

At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel once again.”

3 Hana iho la o Iosua i mau pahi oi, a okipoepoe mai la i na mamo a Iseraela, ma ka puu omaka.

So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.

4 No keia mea hoi i okipoepoe ai o Iosua ia lakou; o na kanaka a pau i hele mai, mai Aigupita mai, o ka poe kane i makaukau i ke kaua, pau lakou i ka make ma ka waonahele, ma ke ala a lakou i hele ai mawaho mai o Aigupita.

Now this is why Joshua circumcised them: All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of war—had died on the journey in the wilderness after they had left Egypt.

5 Ua okipoepoeia no na kanaka a pau i hele mai mawaho; aka, o ka poe i hanau ma ka waonahele, i ka puka ana mai mawaho o Aigupita, aole lakou i okipoepoeia.

Though all who had come out were circumcised, none of those born in the wilderness on the journey from Egypt had been circumcised.

6 Hookahi kanaha makahiki i auwana ai na mamo a Iseraela ma ka waonahele, a pau i ka make ka lahuikaua, ka poe i hele mai mai Aigupita mai, i hoolohe ole i ka leo o Iehova. Hoohiki no o Iehova ia lakou, aole e hoike mai ia lakou i ka aina ana i hoohiki ai i ko lakou mau makua, e haawi mai no lakou, he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.

For the Israelites had wandered in the wilderness forty years, until all the nation’s men of war who had come out of Egypt had died, since they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD vowed never to let them see the land He had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 A o ka lakou poe keiki, ana i hoopuka mai ai, oia ka Iosua i okipoepoe iho ai; no ka mea, ua okipoepoe ole ia lakou, aole lakou i okipoepoeia ma ke ala,

And Joshua raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones he circumcised. Until this time they were still uncircumcised, since they had not been circumcised along the way.

8 A i ka wa i hoopau ai lakou i ke okipoepoe ana i kanaka a pau, alaila, noho iho la lakou ma ko la kou wahi i hoomoana'i, a ola lakou.

And after all the nation had been circumcised, they stayed there in the camp until they were healed.

9 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, I keia la ua olokaa wale aku au, mai o oukou aku, i ka hoino ana o Aigupita. Nolaila ua kapaia ka inoa o ia wahi, o Gilegala, a hiki mai i keia la.

Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.

10 Hoomoana no na mamo a Iseraela ma Gilegala, a malama iho la lakou i ka moliaola, i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama, i ke ahiahi, ma na wahi papu o Ieriko.

On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while the Israelites were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they kept the Passover.

11 I ka la mahope iho o ka moliaola, ai no lakou i ka ai o ka aina, a ia la no pulehu lakou i ka berena hu ole.

The day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate unleavened bread and roasted grain from the produce of the land.

12 Ia la iho, mahope o ka lakou ai ana i ka ai o ka aina, oki iho la ka mane, aole mane hou na na mamo a Iseraela. A ai no lakou i ka ai o ka aina ma Kanaana ia makahiki.

And the day after they had eaten from the produce of the land, the manna ceased. There was no more manna for the Israelites, so that year they began to eat the crops of the land of Canaan.

13 Eia hoi kekahi, i ko Iosua noho ana imua o Ieriko, alawa ae la kona maka iluna, nana aku la, aia hoi! ku mai la kekahi kanaka imua ona, me ka pahikaua i unuhiia ma kona lima. Hele aku la o Iosua io na la, i aku la, Ma o makou nei anei oe, ma ko makou enemi paha?

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in His hand. Joshua approached Him and asked, “Are You for us or for our enemies?”

14 I mai la kela, Aole, ua hele mai nei au i alii koa no ko Iehova puali. Moe iho la ko Iosua alo ma ka honua, hoomana aku la, i aku la ia ia, Heaha ka kuu Haku e olelo mai nei i kau kauwa?

“Neither,” He replied. “I have now come as Commander of the LORD’s army.” Then Joshua fell facedown in reverence and asked Him, “What does my Lord have to say to His servant?”

15 Olelo mai la ke alii koa o ko Iehova puali ia Iosua, E wehe ae oe i kou mau kamaa, mai kou kapnwai aku, no ka mea, he wahi hoano kau e ku nei. A hana no o Iosua pela.

The Commander of the LORD’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
