Siosiua 5
1 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he potu ʻo Sioatani ki lulunga, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kau Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe ofi ki tahi, kuo fakamamaha ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo Sioatani mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kanau hoko atu kotoa pē, naʻe vaivai ai honau loto, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi tenau kei fiemālie, koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
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 Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Ngaohi maʻau ʻae ngaahi hele māsila, pea toe kamuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko hono liunga ua.”
At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and once more circumcise all the males of Israel.”
3 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Siosiua ʻae ngaahi hele māsila, ʻo ne kamuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi Kipahalaloti.
Then Joshua made himself flint knives and he circumcised all the males of Israel at Gibeath Haaraloth.
4 Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni naʻe fai ai ʻe Siosiua ʻae kamu: Ko e kakai tangata kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei ʻIsipite, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē, naʻe mate ʻi he hala ʻi he toafa, hili ʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipite.
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 Pea ko eni, naʻe kamuʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei ʻIsipite: ka ko e fānau kotoa pē naʻe tupu ʻi he hala ʻi he toafa ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipite, naʻe ʻikai kamuʻi ʻakinautolu.
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 He naʻe feʻaluʻaki fano ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ʻi he toafa, ke ʻoua ke ʻosiʻosingamālie ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova: ʻakinautolu naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova, ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahā ʻae fonua kiate kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ke ne foaki kiate kitautolu, ko e fonua ʻoku mahutāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi.
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 Pea ko ʻenau fānau, ʻaia kuo ne fokotuʻu hake ko honau fetongi, ko kinautolu naʻe kamuʻi ʻe Siosiua: he naʻe teʻeki kamuʻi ʻakinautolu, he naʻe ʻikai tenau kamuʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala.
It was their children that Yahweh raised up in their place that Joshua circumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻenau kamuʻi ʻo ʻosi ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa nau nofo pe ʻi honau ngaahi potu ʻi he ʻapitanga ke ʻoua kenau moʻui.
When they were all circumcised, they remained where they were in the camp until they healed.
9 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Kuo u tekaʻi ʻiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni ʻae manuki ʻo ʻIsipite.” Ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae potu ko ia, ko Kilikali ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
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 Pea naʻe ʻapitanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Kilikali, ʻonau fai ʻa e [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻi he efiafi ʻi he ngaahi tafangafanga ʻo Seliko.
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 Pea naʻa nau kai ʻae uite motuʻa ʻoe fonua ʻi he pongipongi ʻi he hili ʻa e [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu, ko e mā taʻefakalēvani, mo e uite tunu ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia.
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 Pea naʻe tuku leva ʻae mana ʻi he pongipongi hili ʻenau kai ʻae uite motuʻa ʻoe fonua; pea naʻe ʻikai toe maʻu ʻae mana ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ka naʻa nau kai ʻae fua ʻoe fonua ko Kēnani ʻi he taʻu ko ia.
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 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻI he tuʻu ʻa Siosiua ʻo ofi ki Seliko, pea hanga hake ʻe ia hono mata ʻo sio atu, pea vakai, naʻe tuʻu mai ha tangata ʻo hangatonu mai kiate ia mo e heletā kuo unuhi ʻi hono nima: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Siosiua kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, ʻOku ke kau mo kimautolu, pe ki homau ngaahi fili?”
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 Pea pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻIkai, ka kuo u haʻu ni au, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe tau ʻa Sihova.” Pea naʻe fakafoʻohifo ʻe Siosiua ʻa hono mata ki he kelekele, ʻo ne hū, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae folofola ʻa hoku ʻeiki ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki?”
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 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki tau ʻoe tau ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Vete ho topuvaʻe mei ho vaʻe; he ko e potu ʻoku ke tuʻu ai, ko e potu māʻoniʻoni. Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Siosiua.”
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.
