Joshua 5
1 Mgbe ndị eze ndị Amọrait niile, ndị bi nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ, na ndị eze ndị Kenan niile bi nʼakụkụ oke osimiri Mediterenịa, nụrụ na Onyenwe anyị emeela ka osimiri Jọdan takpọọ nʼihu ụmụ Izrel, ruo mgbe anyị niile gafesịrị, obi lọrọ ha mmiri. Ọ dịkwaghị ike ọbụla fọdụụrụ ha iguzo nʼihu ụmụ Izrel.
And it happened, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2 Ma nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua okwu sị ya, “Jiri nkume mee mma ị ga-eji bie ụmụ Izrel niile ugwu ọzọ.”
At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."
3 Ya mere, Joshua ji nkume mee mma ntakịrị e ji bie ụmụ Izrel niile ugwu. Ebe a nọ bie ụmụ Izrel ugwu bụ ebe a na-akpọ Gibịat Haaralot.
Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the Hill of the Foreskins.
4 Nke a bụ ihe mere o ji mee otu a: Ndị ikom niile si nʼIjipt pụta, ndị tozuru ije agha, nwụrụ nʼụzọ, nʼime ọzara, mgbe ha hapụchara Ijipt.
This is the reason Joshua circumcised: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Mgbe ụmụ Izrel niile si Ijipt pụta, e biri ndị nwoke niile nọ nʼetiti ha ugwu. Ma nʼime iri afọ anọ ahụ ha na-awagharị nʼọzara, o nweghị ụmụ ha ndị nwoke a mụrụ nʼoge a e biri ugwu.
For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
6 Ndị Izrel niile awagharịala nʼọzara iri afọ anọ tutu ruo mgbe ndị ikom niile toruru ije agha, bụ ndị hapụrụ Ijipt nwụchara, ebe ọ bụ na ha jụrụ irubere Onyenwe anyị isi. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ṅụrụ iyi sị ha na ha agaghị ahụ ala ahụ anya, bụ ala ahụ o kwere nna nna ha na nkwa, inye anyị, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD, those to whom the LORD swore that they would not see the land which the LORD swore to their ancestors that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Onyenwe anyị mere ka ụmụ ndị nnupu isi a mụtara nọchie anya ha. Ọ bụkwa ndị a ka Joshua biri ugwu, nʼihi na tutu ruo ugbu a, e bibeghị ha ugwu.
And their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
8 Mgbe e bizuru mba niile ahụ ugwu, ha nọdụrụ nʼebe ahụ ha mara ụlọ ikwu tutu ọnya obibi ugwu ha alaa.
And it happened, when they were done circumcising all the nation, that they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua okwu sị, “Taa, ewezugala m site nʼebe unu nọ ihe nkọcha nke ya na Ijipt so.” Nʼihi nke a, ha kpọrọ ebe ahụ Gilgal. Ọ bụkwa aha ya ruo taa.
And the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from off you." Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day.
10 Mgbe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Gilgal nʼala ihe nʼadịghị nke Jeriko, ha mere Mmemme Ngabiga nʼuhuruchi nke ụbọchị iri na anọ nke ọnwa ahụ.
The children of Israel camped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
11 Nʼụbọchị sotere ụbọchị ngabiga, nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, ha riri ụfọdụ ihe ubi nke ala Kenan. Ọ bụ achịcha a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee, na ọka ahụrụ nʼọkụ ka ha tara.
They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
12 Mánà kwụsịkwara nʼechi ya mgbe ha riri nri sitere nʼala ahụ. Ụmụ Izrel ahụkwaghị mánà anya ọzọ, ma nʼafọ ahụ ha riri ihe omume ubi si nʼala Kenan.
The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel did not have manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 Mgbe Joshua nọ nso obodo Jeriko, o weliri anya ya elu hụ otu nwoke ka o guzo nʼihu ya. Nwoke a mịpụtara mma agha ya jide ya nʼaka ya. Joshua jekwuru ya jụọ ya sị ya, “Ị dịnyeere anyị ka ị dịnyeere ndị iro anyị?”
It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and look, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him, and said to him, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?"
14 Nwoke ahụ zaghachiri ya sị, “Ọ dịghị onye m dịnyeere, kama abịara m ugbu a dịka ọchịagha usuu ndị agha Onyenwe anyị.” Joshua dara nʼala kpuo ihu ya nʼala kpọọ isiala nye ya, sị ya, “Ejikerela m ime ihe ọbụla i nyere nʼiwu. Onyenwe m, gịnị ka ị chọrọ ka m mee?”
And he said to him, "Truly I am the commander of the army of the LORD. Now I have come." And Joshua fell facedown to the ground and worshipped, and said to him, "What does my lord say to his servant?"
15 Ọchịagha usuu ndị agha Onyenwe anyị zara sị Joshua, “Yipụ akpụkpọụkwụ gị, nʼihi na ebe ahụ i guzo bụ ala dị nsọ.” Joshua mere dịka ọ gwara ya.
The commander of the army of the LORD said to Joshua, "Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy." Joshua did so.
