Yashuuca 5
1 Oo boqorradii reer Amor oo dhan oo joogay Webi Urdun xaggiisa shishe oo galbeed, iyo boqorradii reer Kancaan oo dhan oo badda dhinaceeda degganaa, markay maqleen sida Rabbigu biyihii Webi Urdun u engejiyey reer binu Israa'iil hortooda ilaa aannu soo wada gudubnay, ayay wada dhalaaleen, oo xoog dambena kuma jirin, reer binu Israa'iil aawadood.
All the kings of the people-groups to the west of the Jordan River and all the kings of the groups who were descendants of Canaan and who lived close to the [Mediterranean] Sea heard about how Yahweh had dried up the water of the Jordan [River] until all we Israeli people had crossed over. So they became very dismayed. They no longer were courageous enough to fight us.
2 Oo markaasuu Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Waxaad samaysaa mindiyo dhagax adag ah, oo reer binu Israa'iil haddana ku gud mar labaad.
While [they were camped at Gilgal], Yahweh said to Joshua, “[The Israeli males who lived in Egypt were circumcised before they left there. Now] make knives from flint stones and circumcise all the Israeli males [who have been born since then].”
3 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu samaystay mindiyo dhagax adag ah, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ku guday meel la yidhi Buurta Buuryada.
So Joshua [made knives and] circumcised the Israeli males at a place that is now called ‘Circumcision Hill’.
4 Oo Yashuuca sababtii uu u gudayna waxay ahayd sidan: dadkii dalkii Masar ka soo baxay oo dhammu, intii labka ahayd, xataa raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhammuba waxay ku dhinteen cidlada intay jidka ku jireen markay Masar ka soo bexeen dabadeed.
[The reason they did that is that all the men who left Egypt], those who were old enough to be soldiers, died in the desert after they left Egypt.
5 Oo dadkii soo baxay oo dhammu way gudnaayeen; laakiinse kulli dadkii cidlada ku dhashay intay jidka ku jireen markay Masar ka soo bexeen dabadeed, kuwaas lama gudin.
They had been circumcised in Egypt, but the baby boys who had been born while their parents were camping in the desert after they left Egypt had not been circumcised.
6 Waayo, reer binu Israa'iil waxay cidlada dhex socdeen afartan sannadood, ilaa quruuntii oo dhan ay ka dhammaadeen xataa raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo Masar ka soo baxay oo dhammu, waayo, waxay maqli waayeen codkii Rabbiga; kuwaas oo Rabbigu ugu dhaartay inaanu u oggolaanayn inay arkaan dalkii Rabbigu ugu dhaartay awowayaashood inuu annagana siin doono, dalkaas oo ah dal caano iyo malab la barwaaqaysan.
Our Israeli ancestors traveled around in the desert for 40 years, and all the men who were old enough to be soldiers had died. [The women had also died]. They had not obeyed Yahweh, so Yahweh said that they would not arrive at the land that he had promised to our ancestors that he would give to us, a land that was very fertile [MTY].
7 Oo carruurtoodii oo uu Rabbigu meeshoodii ka kiciyey, ayaa Yashuuca guday; maxaa yeelay, waxay ahaayeen buuryoqab, waayo, jidka laguma soo gudin.
The sons of those who had disobeyed Yahweh were the ones whom Joshua circumcised at Gilgal. They were circumcised because they had not been circumcised [while they were traveling in the desert].
8 Oo markay quruuntii oo dhan wada gudeen, waxay iska joogeen meelahoodii ahaa xerada dhexdeeda ilaa ay ka bogsadeen.
After all the Israeli males had been circumcised, they remained in the camp and rested until their wounds were healed.
9 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Maantaan idinka rogay ceebtii Masar, oo sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas ilaa maantadan la joogo waxaa lagu magacaabaa Gilgaal.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “[Because your forefathers were slaves in Egypt], the Egyptians felt a revulsion toward you. But today I have removed the revulsion the Egyptians have had toward you.” Because of that, the people called the place ‘Gilgal’, [which sounds like the Hebrew word ‘removed’, ] and it still has that name.
10 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay degeen Gilgaal; oo bisha maalinteedii afar iyo tobnaad markay fiidkii ahayd ayay bannaankii Yerixoo ku sameeyeen Iiddii Kormaridda.
In the evening of the fourteenth day of that month, while the Israeli people were camped at Gilgal, on the plain near Jericho [city], they celebrated the Passover [Festival].
11 Oo maalintii Iidda Kormaridda ka dambaysay waxay cuneen hadhuudhkii dalkii ka baxay, kaas oo ahaa kibis aan khamiir lahayn, iyo hadhuudh la dubay, maalintaas qudheeda.
The next day, they found some barley grain in the fields in that area. So they took that and roasted it and ate it with bread that was made without yeast.
12 Oo maannadiina maalintii dambe ayay ka joogsatay, markay cuneen hadhuudhkii dalkii ka baxay dabadeed, oo reer binu Israa'iilna ma ay helin maanna dambe, laakiinse sannaddaas waxay cuneen midhihii dalkii Kancaan ka baxay.
The next day, [God] stopped [sending] manna for the Israeli people to eat. After that, they ate food that was grown in Canaan.
13 Oo markii Yashuuca joogay Yerixoo agteeda ayuu indhihiisa kor u taagay oo wax fiiriyey, oo wuxuu arkay nin isaga ka soo hor jeeda oo seeftiisii oo gal la' gacanta ku haysta. Markaasaa Yashuuca intuu u tegey ku yidhi, War ma annagaad nala gees tahay mise colkayagaad la gees tahay?
One day when Joshua came near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword in his hand. Joshua approached him and asked him, “Are you [going to fight] for us or against us?”
14 Markaasuu isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Maya; laakiinse waxaan haatan u imid inaan madax u ahaado ciidanka Ilaah. Markaasaa Yashuuca wejigiisii dhulka saaray, wuuna sujuuday, oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, maxaad anoo addoonkaaga ah igu odhan lahayd?
The man replied, “I am not [planning to fight with you] or [against you]. Instead, I am the commander of Yahweh’s army [in heaven], and I have come [down from there to assure you that Yahweh will help you].” Then Joshua bowed down with his face on the ground (to show his respect for/to worship) the man, and said to him, “Tell me what [you want me to do].”
15 Markaasaa kii ciidanka Rabbiga madax u ahaa wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Kabtaada iska siib, waayo, meeshaad ku taagan tahay waa quduus. Oo Yashuucana sidaasuu yeelay.
The commander of Yahweh’s army replied, “Take off your sandals! [I am Yahweh, and] the ground on which you are standing is holy because I am here.” So Joshua took off his sandals.
