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 who [were] on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who [were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we 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 thee sharp 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.

And Joshua made him sharp 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.

And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, [that 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.

Now 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 from Egypt, [them] 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 people [that were] men of war who came out of Egypt were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth 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 Joshua circumcised: 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 people, 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 to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you: Wherefore the name of the place is 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.

And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and 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.

And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched [corn] 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.

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 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?”

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 to him, and said to 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, No; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, What saith my lord 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.

And the captain of the LORD'S host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou standest is holy: and Joshua did so.
