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 came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard how that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were 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 unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, 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.
And Joshua made him knives of flint, 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.
And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: all the people that came forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth 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 that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had not 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, till all the nation, even the men of war which came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not let them see the land which the LORD sware unto their fathers 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 stead, them did Joshua circumcise: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by 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 came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
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 unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto 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.
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even 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.
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched corn, in the selfsame 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.
And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat 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?”
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou 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, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto 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.
And the captain of the LORD’S host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
