Josoa 5

1 Ary ny mpanjaka rehetra amin’ ny Amorita any an-dafy andrefan’ i Jordana sy ny mpanjaka rehetra tamin’ ny Kananita any amoron’ ny ranomasina, rehefa nandre ny nanamainan’ i Jehovah ny rano Jordana teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mandra-pitany, dia ketraka ny fony ka very hevitra izy noho ny tahony ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

2 Tamin’ izany andro izany no nilazan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa hoe: Manaova fiharatra vato ho anao, ka atombohy indray ny famorana ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make yourself stone knives and give the children of Israel circumcision a second time.

3 Dia nanao fiharatra vato ho azy Josoa ka namora ny Zanak’ Isiraely teo an-kavoana Haralota.

So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth.

4 Ary izao no anton’ ny namoran’ i Josoa azy: Ny lehilahy rehetra izay nivoaka avy tany Egypta, dia ny mpanafika rehetra, samy maty tany an-fitra teny an-dalana, tamin’ izy efa nivoaka avy tany Egypta.

And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

5 Ary voafora ny lehilahy rehetra izay nivoaka; fa ny lehilahy rehetra nateraka teny an-dalana tany an-efitra, tamin’ izy efa nivoaka avy tany Egypta, dia tsy mbola voafora kosa.

All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.

6 Fa efa-polo taona no nandehanan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tany an-efitra, mandra-pahalany ritran’ ny olona rehetra, dia ny mpanafika izay nivoaka avy tany Egypta, satria tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah izy; dia ireo no nianianan’ i Jehovah fa tsy havelany hahita ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razana homeny antsika, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.

For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Ary ny zanany no natsangany handimby azy, ka ireo no noforan’ i Josoa; fa tsy mbola voafora ireo, satria tsy noforana teny an-dalana.

And their children, who came up in their place, now underwent circumcision by the hands of Joshua, not having had it before: for there had been no circumcision on the journey.

8 Ary rehefa noforana ny lehilahy rehetra, dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny fitoerany tany an-toby izy mandra-pahasitrany.

So when all the nation had undergone circumcision, they kept in their tents till they were well again.

9 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa: Androany no nanakodiavako ny fandatsan’ i Egypta ho afaka aminareo. Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataony hoe Gilgala mandraka androany.

And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day.

10 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nitoby tany Gilgala ka nitandrina ny Paska tamin’ ny harivan’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana, teo amin’ ny tani-hay any Jeriko.

So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the lowlands of Jericho.

11 Ary nony ampitson’ ny Paska, dia nihinana ny vokatry ny tany izy tamin’ izany andro izany indrindra, dia mofo tsy misy masirasira sy lango.

And on the day after the Passover, they had for their food the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and dry grain on the same day.

12 Ary nitsahatra ny mana tamin’ iny andro ampitso iny, dia tamin’ ny nihinanany ny vokatry ny tany, ka tsy nisy mana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely intsony; fa nihinana ny vokatry ny tany Kanana izy tamin’ izany taona izany.

And there was no more manna from the day after they had for their food the produce of the land; the children of Israel had manna no longer, but that year the produce of the land of Canaan was their food.

13 Ary nony teo akaikin’ i Jeriko Josoa, dia nanopy ny masony izy ka nijery, ary, indro, nisy lehilahy nitsangana tandrifiny, ka ny sabany voatsoaka dia teny an-tànany; ary nanatona Azy Josoa ka nanao taminy hoe: Namanay va Hianao, sa naman’ ny fahavalonay?

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, lifting up his eyes he saw a man in front of him, with his sword uncovered in his hand: and Joshua went up to him and said, Are you for us or against us?

14 Dia hoy Izy: Tsia; fa Izaho dia Komandin’ ny miaramilan’ i Jehovah ka tonga atỳ ankehitriny. Dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany Josoa ka nanao taminy hoe: Inona no holazainao amin’ ny mpanomponao, Tompokolahy?

And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?

15 Dia hoy Ilay Komandin’ ny miaramilan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa: Esory amin’ ny tongotrao ny kapanao; fa masìna io tany ijanonanao io. Dia nataon’ i Josoa izany.

And the captain of the Lord's army said to Joshua, Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy. And Joshua did so.
