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.
And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Emorites, who were on the side of the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they were passed over, that their heart melted, and there remained no more any courage 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 unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3 Dia nanao fiharatra vato ho azy Josoa ka namora ny Zanak’ Isiraely teo an-kavoana Haralota.
And Joshua made himself sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of '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 cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness on the way, after their going forth 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.
For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way at their going forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.
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 during forty years the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness, till there was an end of all the people, the men of war, who were come out of Egypt, who had not obeyed the voice of the Lord; unto whom the Lord had sworn that he would not let them see the land, which the Lord had sworn unto their fathers that he would give unto 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.
But their children he raised up in their stead: these did Joshua circumcise; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
8 Ary rehefa noforana ny lehilahy rehetra, dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny fitoerany tany an-toby izy mandra-pahasitrany.
And it came to pass, when the whole people had all been circumcised, that they abode in their places in the camp till they were healed.
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 unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And he called the name of the place Gilgal unto 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.
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and they prepared the passover-offering on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains 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 they ate of the corn of the land on the morrow after the passover-offering, unleavened cakes and parched corn, on the selfsame 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 the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the corn of the land; and the children of Israel had not any more manna; but they did eat of the product of the land of Canaan during that year.
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?
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, a man was standing over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went unto him, and said to him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
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; for I am a captain of the host of the Lord: now am I come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed himself, and said to him, What doth my lord speak unto 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 host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
