Yoswa 5
1 Awo bakabaka ba ab’Amoli abaali emitala ebugwanjuba bw’omugga Yoludaani, ne bakabaka b’Abakanani abaliraanye ennyanja bwe baawulira nga Mukama yakaliza amazzi g’omugga Yoludaani Abayisirayiri basobole okusomoka, ne batekemuka omwoyo olw’Abayisirayiri.
And it cometh to pass when all the kings of the Amorite which [are] beyond the Jordan, towards the sea, and all the kings of the Canaanite which [are] by the sea, hear how that Jehovah hath dried up the waters of the Jordan at the presence of the sons of Israel till their passing over, that their heart is melted, and there hath not been in them any more spirit because of the presence of the sons of Israel.
2 Mu kiseera ekyo Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Weekolere obwambe obw’amayinja amoogi, okomole abasajja bonna Abayisirayiri abatakomolwanga.”
At that time said Jehovah unto Joshua, 'Make for thee knives of flint, and turn back, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time;'
3 Bw’atyo Yoswa n’akola obwambe mu mayinja amoogi n’akomolera abasajja Abayisirayiri ku lusozi oluyitibwa Gibeyakalaloosi.
and Joshua maketh for him knives of flint, and circumciseth the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins.
4 Ensonga Yoswa kyeyava abakomola y’eno: abasajja Abayisirayiri abaava e Misiri nga mwe muli n’abalwanyi bonna, baafiira mu ddungu.
And this [is] the thing [for] which Joshua circumciseth [them]: all the people who are coming out of Egypt, who are males, all the men of war have died in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out of Egypt,
5 Abaava e Misiri bonna baali bamaze okukomolebwa, kyokka abaana baabwe abaazaalirwa mu ddungu tebaali bakomole.
for all the people who are coming out were circumcised, and all the people who [are] born in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out from Egypt, they have not circumcised;
6 Abayisirayiri baamala emyaka amakumi ana nga batambula mu ddungu okutuusa bonna, nga mwe muli n’abalwanyi, lwe baafa ne baggwaawo, kubanga baagaana okugondera eddoboozi lya Mukama. Mukama kyeyava abalayirira nti talibaganya kutuuka mu nsi eyo gye yasuubiza bajjajjaabwe, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
for forty years have the sons of Israel gone in the wilderness, till all the nation of the men of war who are coming out of Egypt, who hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah, to whom Jehovah hath sworn not to show them the land which Jehovah sware to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey, are consumed;
7 Kale mu bifo byabwe Mukama yazzaawo baana baabwe era abo Yoswa be yakomola kubanga tebaakomolerwa mu kkubo.
and their sons He raised up in their stead, them hath Joshua circumcised, for they have been uncircumcised, for they have not circumcised them in the way.
8 Bonna nga bamaze okukomolwa tebaava mu weema zaabwe mu lusiisira, okutuusa nga bamaze okuwona.
And it cometh to pass when all the nation have completed to be circumcised, that they abide in their places in the camp till their recovering;
9 Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Okuva olwa leero mbaggyeeko ekivume ky’e Misiri.” Ekifo ekyo kyekyava kiyitibwa Girugaali n’okutuusa kaakano.
and Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'To-day I have rolled the reproach of Egypt from off you;' and [one] calleth the name of that place Gilgal unto this day.
10 Awo Abayisirayiri bwe baali bakyasiisidde e Girugaali embaga ey’Okuyitako n’etuuka era ne bagirya akawungeezi ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi, mu lusenyi lw’e Yeriko.
And the sons of Israel encamp in Gilgal, and make the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho;
11 Enkeera ne balya emmere ey’omu nsi y’e Kanani: emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse n’empeke ensiike.
and they eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow of the passover, unleavened things and roasted [corn], in this self-same day;
12 Okuva ku lunaku olwo lwe baalya ku mmere y’omu Kanani tebaddamu kufuna Maanu; olwo ne batandika kulyanga mmere ya mu nsi eyo.
and the manna doth cease on the morrow in their eating of the old corn of the land, and there hath been no more manna to the sons of Israel, and they eat of the increase of the land of Canaan in that year.
13 Awo Yoswa bwe yali anaatera okutuuka e Yeriko bwe yayimusa amaaso n’alaba omusajja akutte ekitala ekisowole ng’amwolekedde. Yoswa kyeyava amusemberera n’amubuuza nti, “Oli ku ludda lwaffe oba ku lwa balabe baffe?” Ye n’amuddamu nti,
And it cometh to pass in Joshua's being by Jericho, that he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, one standing over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua goeth unto him, and saith to him, 'Art thou for us or for our adversaries?'
14 “Siriiko ludda. Nze mukulu w’eggye lya Mukama era ntuuse.” Yoswa n’agwa wansi, n’avuunama n’amusinza era n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama wange, oŋŋamba ki omuddu wo?”
And He saith, 'No, for I [am] Prince of Jehovah's host; now I have come;' and Joshua falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith to Him, 'What is my Lord speaking unto His servant?'
15 Naye omukulu w’eggye lya Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Yambulamu engatto zo kubanga ekifo kino mw’oli kitukuvu.” Ne Yoswa naye n’akola nga bwe yalagirwa.
And the Prince of Jehovah's host saith unto Joshua, 'Cast off thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou art standing is holy;' and Joshua doth so;
