Zosua 5
1 Amori Kini vahe'ma Jodani timofo zage fre kazigama nemanimo'zane, Kenani Kini vahe'ma Meditereniani hagerimofo ankenaregama nemanimo'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma Jodani tima eri hagegema hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'zama Jodani tima takama he'naza kema nentahi'zageno, hanave'zamia omanege'za koro hu'za ha'ma hanaza zamagesa osu'naze.
All the kings of the people-groups to the west of the Jordan River and all the kings of the groups who were descendants of Canaan and who lived close to the [Mediterranean] Sea heard about how Yahweh had dried up the water of the Jordan [River] until all we Israeli people had crossed over. So they became very dismayed. They no longer were courageous enough to fight us.
2 Hagi ana knafina Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Josuana asami'ne, Havereti asane kazina trohunka vene'neramine ne'mofavre naga'ma zamagoza anoma tagama osu'nesaza nagara taga huzamanto.
While [they were camped at Gilgal], Yahweh said to Joshua, “[The Israeli males who lived in Egypt were circumcised before they left there. Now] make knives from flint stones and circumcise all the Israeli males [who have been born since then].”
3 Higeno agra'a Josua'a havereti kazina trohuteno, ana vene'nene ne'mofavre nagara Ha'alotie nehaza osi agonare zamagoza anona taga huzmante'ne.
So Joshua [made knives and] circumcised the Israeli males at a place that is now called ‘Circumcision Hill’.
4 Hagi ha'ma huga vene'nema Isipiti'ma etirami'naza vahe'mo'za 40'a kafufima ka'ma kopima ne-eza fri vagare'nazagu Josua'a e'inahu zana huzamante'ne.
[The reason they did that is that all the men who left Egypt], those who were old enough to be soldiers, died in the desert after they left Egypt.
5 Hanki ana maka vene'nema Isipiti'ma atre'zama etirami'naza vahe'mo'za zamagoza anona tagahute'za e'naze. Hianagi karankama ka'ma kopima ne-ezama kasezamante'naza vene'ne'a zamagoza anona taga osu'naze.
They had been circumcised in Egypt, but the baby boys who had been born while their parents were camping in the desert after they left Egypt had not been circumcised.
6 Israeli vahe'mo'za 40'a kafufi ka'ma kopina e'naze. Ha'ma huga vene'nema Isipiti'ma etirami'naza vahera e'ina knafi fri vagare'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo kea amage ontenagu, Agra amanage hu'ne, ana vene'nefintira magomo'e huno zamafahe'ima zamigahue hu'na amirimo'ene tumerimo'ma avite'nea mopama huvempama hu'zmante'noa moparera ovugahaze.
Our Israeli ancestors traveled around in the desert for 40 years, and all the men who were old enough to be soldiers had died. [The women had also died]. They had not obeyed Yahweh, so Yahweh said that they would not arrive at the land that he had promised to our ancestors that he would give to us, a land that was very fertile [MTY].
7 Ka'ma kopima zamagri noma erisagu'ma kasezmante'naza ne'mofavre'ramina Josua'a zamagoza anona taga huzamante'ne. Na'ankure karankama ne-eza zamagoza anona taga huozmante'nagu anara hu'ne.
The sons of those who had disobeyed Yahweh were the ones whom Joshua circumcised at Gilgal. They were circumcised because they had not been circumcised [while they were traveling in the desert].
8 Ana maka Israeli vene'nemo'za zamagoza anoma taga hute'za, kuma'ma ante'zama mani'nare mani'nageno, namuzmimo'a tegani'ne.
After all the Israeli males had been circumcised, they remained in the camp and rested until their wounds were healed.
9 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, ko'ma tamagra Isipima mani'neta kazokzo eri'zama eneritma tamagazegu hu'nazane. Hianagi Nagra menina tamagri tamagaze zana eri netroe. Hige'za ana kumakura Gilgalie hu'za agia antemi'nageno, ana agimo'a meninena meno e'ne.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “[Because your forefathers were slaves in Egypt], the Egyptians felt a revulsion toward you. But today I have removed the revulsion the Egyptians have had toward you.” Because of that, the people called the place ‘Gilgal’, [which sounds like the Hebrew word ‘removed’, ] and it still has that name.
10 Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za Jeriko agupofi Gilgali kumate mani'ne'za, ese ikana 14ni knamofo kinaga Ra Anumzamo'ma ozamahe zamagatere'nea zanku antahimi'za ra ne'za kre'za nene'za musena hu'naze.
In the evening of the fourteenth day of that month, while the Israeli people were camped at Gilgal, on the plain near Jericho [city], they celebrated the Passover [Festival].
11 Ana ne'zama nete'za, anante knazupa Kenani mopafinti ne'zana agafa hu'za zo'ore bretine, kre hagege hu witinena ne'naze.
The next day, they found some barley grain in the fields in that area. So they took that and roasted it and ate it with bread that was made without yeast.
12 Israeli naga'mozama Kenani mopafinti ne'zama agafama hu'za naza knazupage, mana ne'zamo'ma monafinti'ma eneramiazana vagare'ne. E'ina hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za ana kafufina mana ne'zana e'ori'nazanki, Kenani mopafinti ne'zanke ne'naze.
The next day, [God] stopped [sending] manna for the Israeli people to eat. After that, they ate food that was grown in Canaan.
13 Mago zupa Josua'a Jeriko kuma tvaonte emani'neno keana, mago ne'mo'a bainati kazina azampi eri'neno, avuga oti'negeno negeno urava'o huno, Kagra tagri vahepi, ha' vaheti mani'nane?
One day when Joshua came near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword in his hand. Joshua approached him and asked him, “Are you [going to fight] for us or against us?”
14 Higeno ana ne'mo'a huno, A'o nagra kagri kaziga vahera omani'na, ha' vahe kaziga vahera omaninoanki, nagra Ra Anumzamofo sondia vahete ugota kva ne' e'noe. Higeno Josua'a avugosaregati kepri huno agiafi renareno amanage hu'ne, Eri'za vahekamo'na na'a hugahufi nasamio.
The man replied, “I am not [planning to fight with you] or [against you]. Instead, I am the commander of Yahweh’s army [in heaven], and I have come [down from there to assure you that Yahweh will help you].” Then Joshua bowed down with his face on the ground (to show his respect for/to worship) the man, and said to him, “Tell me what [you want me to do].”
15 Higeno Ra Anumzamofo sondia vahete ugota kva ne'mo'a Josuana amanage huno asmi'ne, Kagra kaga nona katufe tro. Na'ankure amama oti'nana mopamo'a ruotage hu'ne. Higeno Josua'a kema hiaza huno agia nona katufetre'ne.
The commander of Yahweh’s army replied, “Take off your sandals! [I am Yahweh, and] the ground on which you are standing is holy because I am here.” So Joshua took off his sandals.
