< Josoa 5 >

1 Aa naho jinanji’ o hene mpanjaka’ o nte-Amore alafe’ Iardeney mañandrefañeo, naho ze hene mpanjaka’ o nte Kanàne marine i riakey te nimaihe’ Iehovà aolo’ o ana’ Israeleo o rano’ Iardeneo ampara’ t’ie tafatsàke, le nitronake ty arofo’ iareo vaho tsy naha­kofòke ty amo ana’ Israeleo.
And it came to pass when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2 Ie henane zay, hoe t’Iehovà am’ Iehosoa: Tse­neo meso am-bato pìlake vaho savaro indraike o ana’ Israeleo ho fañindroe’e.
At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make thee stone-knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3 Aa le nitsene mesom-bato pilake t’Iehosoa, vaho nisavare’e e Gibeate-ha-aralote eo o ana’ Israeleo.
And Joshua made him stone-knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of Araloth.
4 Zao ty talim-panavara’ Iehosoa iareo: toe nihomak’ am-patrambey an-dalañe eo ze hene ondaty niakatse i Mitsraimeo; o lahilahio, o lahindefoñeo, ie fa niavotse i Mitsraime.
And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised [them]: all the people that had come out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Fa nivotso-boy ondaty iaby niakatse boak’aoo, fe tsy nisavareñe ze hene ondaty nasamak’ am-patrambey amy lalañe niakara’ iareo i Mitsraimey,
For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt, [them] had they not circumcised.
6 amy te efa-polo taoñe ty nañaveloa’ o ana’ Israeleo am-patrambey añe, ampara’ te nihomake i fifeheañe iabiy, o lahindefoñe niavotse i Mitsraimeo, ie tsy nañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà; i nifantà’ Iehovà te tsy hapò’e hahaoniñe i tane nifantà’ Iehovà aman-droae’ iareo te hatolo’e antikañey, tane orikorihen-dronono naho tanteley.
For the children of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, till the whole nation of men of war had perished who had come out of Egypt, who had not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah; to whom Jehovah had sworn that he would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Aa le nibeize’e o ana’ iareoo handimbe iareo, ie ty nisavare’ Iehosoa, tinampake kanao tsy nivo­tso-boy amy lalañey.
And their sons [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
8 Naho niheneke ty fanavarañe i valobohòke iabiy le nitofa an-tobe’e ao ampara’ te nimelañe.
And it came to pass when the whole nation had finished being circumcised, that they abode in their place in the camp, till they were whole.
9 Hoe ty tsara’Iehovà am’Iehosoa: Anindroany t’ie namarimbariñe ty inje’ i Mitsraime tsy ho ama’ areo. Aa le nitokaveñe ty hoe Gilgale i toetsey, ampara’ te henane.
And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And the name of the place was called Gilgal to this day.
10 Ie nitobe e Gilgale ao o ana’ Israeleo le nambena’ iareo i Fihelañ’ amboney ami’ty hariva’ i andro faha folo-efats’ ambi’ i volañeiy amonto’ Ieriko ey.
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and held the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the plains of Jericho.
11 Nikamà’ iareo ty voka’ ela’ i taney amy loak’ andro’ i Fihelañ’ Amboney: mofo po-dalivay naho tsako tono amy àndroy.
And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened loaves, and roasted [corn] on that same day.
12 Nijihetse amy andro naño­rike i nikamà’ iareo ty voka’ i taneiy i maney vaho tsy nahazo mane ka o ana’ Israeleo, f’ie nikama ty vokan-tane Kanàne amy taoñe zay.
And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the old corn of the land; and there was no more manna for the children of Israel; and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan that year.
13 Narine’ Ieriko t’Iehosoa t’ie nampiandra fihaino naho nahaisake te inge t’indaty aolo’e, am-pi­tà’e ty fibara tsinoake; vaho nimb’ ama’e mb’eo t’Iehosoa, nanao ty hoe: Ama’ay v’iheo ke amo rafe­lahi’aio?
And it came to pass when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there stood a man before him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him, and said to him: Art thou for us, or for our enemies?
14 Le hoe re, Aiy! Izaho mpifehe o lahindefo’ Iehovào ty nivotrahako etoa. Aa le nibabok’ an-daha­ra’e an-tane eo t’Iehosoa le niam­bane nanao ty hoe: Ino o ho saontsie’ ty talèko amy mpitoro’eio?
And he said, No; for [as] captain of the army of Jehovah am I now come. Then Joshua fell upon his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
15 Le hoe ty mpifehen-dahindefo’ Iehovào tam’ Iehosoa: Afaho am-pandia’o o hana’oo; amy te miavake o toetse johañe’oo. Le nanoe’ Iehosoa.
And the captain of Jehovah's army said to Joshua, Loose thy sandal from off thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
