Joshua 5
1 Tokosra nukewa lun mwet Amor su muta roto liki Infacl Jordan, ac tokosra nukewa lun mwet Canaan su muta sisken Meoa Mediterranean elos lohng lah LEUM GOD El akpaoyela Infacl Jordan nwe ke na mwet Israel elos fahsr sasla. Elos mutawauk in sangeng ac insialos foroti ke sripen mwet Israel ah.
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 the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
2 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Orala kutu mitmit kosroh an ke eot keke, ac sifil sang kosrala mwet Israel.”
At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
3 Na Joshua el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel, ac el kosrala mwet Israel in sie acn pangpang Fineol in Kosrala.
Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 Pa inge sripa se sis Joshua el kosralosla, mweyen mukul nukewa ma fal matwalos in wi mweun ke elos illa liki Egypt, elos misa tari.
This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Mukul nukewa ma wi illa liki acn Egypt, elos kosrkosrla tari, ac mukul nukewa ma tufah isusla tukun illa sac, elos nukewa soenna kosrla.
For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
6 Mwet Israel elos tuh forfor yen mwesis ke yac angngaul, nwe ke mwet mweun ma wi illa liki acn Egypt ah nufon misa ke sripen elos tia akos LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD El tuh wulela nu sin papa matu tumasr meet lah El ac ase nu sesr sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we, tuh ke sripen seakos lalos uh LEUM GOD El fulahk nu selos tuh elos ac fah tia sun facl sac.
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Tulik natulos su soenna kosrala pa fwil sasu se ma Joshua el kosrala uh.
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 Ac tukun mwet nukewa kosrkosrla tari, elos mutana in lohm nuknuk selos nwe ke na kinet kaclos ah mahla.
When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
9 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Misenge nga sisla liki kowos mwe mwekin lowos ke kowos tuh moul in mwet kohs in acn Egypt.” Pa inge sripa se sis pangpang acn sac Gilgal, ac ine se inge srakna orekmakinyuk nwe misenge.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.
10 Ke eku in len se aksingoul akosr ke malem sac, ke mwet Israel elos srakna muta in acn tupasrpasr apkuran nu Jericho, elos oru Kufwen Alukela in lohm nuknuk selos.
The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
11 In len tok ah, pa inge len se emeet elos mutawauk mongo ke fokin acn Canaan. Ma elos kang pa bread wangin mwe pulol kac, ac fiten wheat manman.
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 In len sac me manna tia sifil sikyak, ac mwet Israel elos mongo ke fokin acn Canaan.
The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 Ke Joshua el apkuran nu Jericho, el ngetak ac liye mwet se tu ye mutal, ac cutlass natul fwafeyak inpaol. Joshua el kalukyang nu yorol ac fahk, “Ya kom sie sesr, ku kom mwet lokoalok lasr?”
When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, 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 enemies?”
14 Ac mwet sac fahk, “Nga tia wi kewa. Nga pa captain lun un mwet mweun lun LEUM GOD.” Na Joshua el putati nu infohk uh ac alu nu sel ac fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lom. Mea kom lungse nga in oru?”
He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of the LORD’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
15 Na captain lun un mwet mweun lun LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel, “Sarukla fahluk lom an, tuh acn se kom tu we an acn mutal se.” Na Joshua el oru oana ma el fahk ah.
The prince of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
