< Jozue 5 >

1 Nzokande, tango bakonzi nyonso ya Amori, na ngambo ya weste ya Yordani, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya Kanana, pene ya ebale monene ya Barozo, bayokaki ndenge nini Yawe akawusaki ebale Yordani liboso ya bana ya Isalaele kino tango basilisaki kokatisa, mitema na bango ebukanaki mpe bazalaki lisusu na makasi te ya kotelemela bana ya Isalaele.
And it was when heard all [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan west-ward and all [the] kings of the Canaanite[s] who [were] at the sea [they heard] this: he had dried up Yahweh [the] waters of the Jordan from before [the] people of Israel until (passing over they *Q(K)*) and it melted heart their and not it was in them still spirit because of [the] people of Israel.
2 Na tango wana, Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Sala bambeli ya mabanga mpe kata lisusu bana mibali ya Isalaele ngenga.
At the time that he said Yahweh to Joshua make for yourself knives of flint and return circumcise [the] people of Israel a second [time].
3 Jozue asalaki bambeli ya mabanga mpe akataki bana mibali ya Isalaele ngenga, pene ya ngomba moke ya Araloti.
And he made for himself Joshua knives of flint and he circumcised [the] people of Israel to [the] hill of foreskins.
4 Tala mpo na nini Jozue asengelaki kokata bango ngenga: Mibali nyonso oyo babimaki na Ejipito mpe bakokisaki mibu ya kobunda bitumba bakufaki na nzela, kati na esobe, sima na bango kobima na Ejipito.
And this [is] the reason why he circumcised Joshua all the people which had come out from Egypt the males all - [the] men of war they had died in the wilderness on the way when went out they from Egypt.
5 Mibali nyonso oyo babimaki na Ejipito bakatamaki ngenga; kasi bato nyonso oyo babotamaki na nzela, kati na esobe, bakatamaki ngenga te.
For circumcised they had been all the people which came out and all the people born in the wilderness on the way when went out they from Egypt not people had circumcised.
6 Bana ya Isalaele batambolaki kati na esobe mibu tuku minei, kino tango ekeke mobimba ya mibali oyo bakokisaki mibu ya kobunda bitumba tango babimaki na Ejipito basilaki kokufa. Mpo ete batosaki Yawe te, Yawe alapaki ndayi ete bakomona te mokili oyo alakaki kopesa epai ya batata na bango, mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
For - forty year[s] they had walked [the] people of Israel in the wilderness until was finished all the nation [the] men of war who came out from Egypt who not they had listened to [the] voice of Yahweh whom he had sworn Yahweh to them to not to let to see them the land which he had sworn Yahweh to fathers their to give to us a land flowing of milk and honey.
7 Boye, atombolaki bana na esika ya batata na bango; yango wana Jozue akataki bango ngenga, pamba te bakatamaki ngenga te na nzela.
And children their he raised up in place of them them he circumcised Joshua for uncircumcised they were for not people had circumcised them on the way.
8 Sima na ekolo mobimba kokatama ngenga, batikalaki esika moko kati na molako kino tango bapota na bango ekawukaki.
And it was just when they had finished all the nation to be circumcised and they remained in place their in the camp until lived they.
9 Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Lelo, natindiki soni ya Ejipito mosika na bino. Babengaki esika yango « Giligali » kino na mokolo ya lelo.
And he said Yahweh to Joshua this day I have rolled away [the] reproach of Egypt from on you and he called [the] name of the place that Gilgal until the day this.
10 Na pokwa ya mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza wana, bana ya Isalaele basalaki feti ya Pasika, wana bazalaki nanu na molako ya Giligali, na etando ya Jeriko.
And they encamped [the] people of Israel at Gilgal and they observed the passover on [the] four-teen day of the month in the evening on [the] plains of Jericho.
11 Mokolo oyo elandaki feti ya Pasika, baliaki biloko ya mokili ya Kanana: mapa ezanga levire mpe bambuma ya ble oyo bakalingaki kaka mokolo wana.
And they ate some of [the] produce of the land from [the] next day of the passover unleavened bread and roasted [grain] on [the] substance of the day this.
12 Mokolo oyo elandaki mokolo oyo baliaki biloko ya mokili ya Kanana, mana etikaki kokweya; mana ezalaki lisusu te mpo na bana ya Isalaele. Boye, na mobu wana, baliaki biloko ya mokili ya Kanana.
And it ceased the manna from [the] next day when ate they some of [the] produce of the land and not it belonged again to [the] people of Israel manna and they ate some of [the] produce of [the] land of Canaan in the year that.
13 Nzokande, tango Jozue azalaki pene ya Jeriko, atombolaki miso mpe amonaki moto moko atelemi liboso na ye; moto yango asimbaki mopanga na loboko na ye. Jozue apusanaki pene na ye mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, ozali na ngambo na biso to na ngambo ya banguna na biso?
And it was when was Joshua at Jericho and he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! a man [was] standing to before him and sword his [was] drawn in hand his and he went Joshua to him and he said to him ¿ for us [are] you or? for foes our.
14 Azongiselaki Jozue: — Te, kasi nazali mokonzi ya mampinga ya Yawe; nayei kaka sik’oyo. Boye, Jozue akweyaki elongi kino na mabele mpe alobaki na ye: — Sango nini nkolo na ngai azali na yango mpo na mosali na ye?
And he said - In-deed I [am] [the] commander of [the] army of Yahweh now I have come and he fell Joshua to face his [the] ground towards and he bowed down and he said to him what? [is] lord my saying servant his.
15 Mokonzi ya mampinga ya Yawe alobaki na ye: — Longola basapato na yo na makolo, pamba te esika oyo ozali ezali bule. Jozue asalaki se bongo.
And he said [the] commander of [the] army of Yahweh to Joshua take off sandal your from on foot your for the place which you [are] standing on it [is] a holy place it and he did Joshua thus.
