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.
As soon as all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were along the coast of the Great Sea, heard that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan until the people of Israel had crossed over, their hearts melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people 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 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and once more circumcise all the males of Israel.”
3 Dia nanao fiharatra vato ho azy Josoa ka namora ny Zanak’ Isiraely teo an-kavoana Haralota.
Then Joshua made himself flint knives and he circumcised all the males of Israel at Gibeath Haaraloth.
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.
This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: All the males who had come out of Egypt, including all the men of war, had died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out from 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.
Though all the males who came out of Egypt were circumcised, still, none of the boys born in the wilderness on the way out of Egypt had been 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 the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the people, that is, all the men of war who had come out of Egypt, died, because they did not obey the voice of Yahweh. Yahweh swore to them that he would not let them see the land that he had sworn to their ancestors that he would give to 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.
It was their children that Yahweh raised up in their place that Joshua circumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 Ary rehefa noforana ny lehilahy rehetra, dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny fitoerany tany an-toby izy mandra-pahasitrany.
When they were all circumcised, they remained where they were in the camp until they 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.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” So, the name of that place has been called Gilgal until this present 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.
The people of Israel camped at Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, on 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.
On the day after Passover, that same day, they ate some of the produce of the land on the day, unleavened bread and roasted grain.
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.
The manna stopped on the day after they ate the produce of the land. There was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate the produce of the land of Canaan 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?
When Joshua was near Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing in front of him; he had drawn his sword and it was in his hand. Joshua went to him and said, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
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?
He said, “Neither. For I am the commander of the army of Yahweh. Now I have come.” Then Joshua lay facedown on the ground to worship and said to him, “What does my master 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.
The commander of Yahweh's army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, because the place you are standing is holy.” That is what Joshua did.
