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 kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel.

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 Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.

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

He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.

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 the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.

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.

Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,

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.

Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the 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,

The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in 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.

Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of 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.

And the Lord said to Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present 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.

And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho:

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.

And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.

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 manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan.

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?

And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries?

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?

And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come. Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord 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.

Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
