< Joshua 5 >

1 Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ọba Amori ti ìlà-oòrùn Jordani àti gbogbo àwọn ọba Kenaani tí ń bẹ létí òkun gbọ́ bí Olúwa ti mú Jordani gbẹ ní iwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli títí ti a fi kọjá, ọkàn wọn pami, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò ní ìgboyà mọ́ láti dojúkọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before the sons of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.
2 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Joṣua pé, “Fi akọ òkúta ṣe abẹ kí o sì kọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ilà ní ìgbà ẹ̀ẹ̀kejì.”
At that time, said Yahweh unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, —and again circumcise the sons of Israel, a second time.
3 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua sì ṣe abẹ akọ òkúta, ó sì kọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ilà, ní Gibiati-Haralotu.
So Joshua made him knives of flint, —and circumcised the sons of Israel, at the Hill of Foreskins.
4 Wàyí o, ìdí tí Joṣua fi kọ wọ́n nílà nìyìí. Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ti Ejibiti jáde wá, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin ogun kú ní aginjù ní ọ̀nà lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
Now, this, is the cause why Joshua did circumcise, —all the people who came forth out of Egypt, who were males, all the men of war, died in the desert, by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt.
5 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin tó jáde láti Ejibiti ni a ti kọ ní ilà, síbẹ̀ gbogbo ènìyàn tí a bí nínú aginjù lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n jáde ní Ejibiti ni wọn kò kọ ní ilà.
For, though all the people who came forth had been circumcised, yet, all the people who were born in the desert by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt, had they not circumcised.
6 Àwọn ará Israẹli rìn ní aginjù fún ogójì ọdún títí gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó tó ogun n jà nígbà tí wọ́n kúrò ni Ejibiti fi kú, nítorí wọn kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa. Nítorí Olúwa ti búra fún wọn pé wọn kò ní rí ilẹ̀ tí òun ṣe ìlérí fún àwọn baba wọn láti fi fun wa, ilẹ̀ tí ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin.
Because, for forty years, did the sons of Israel journey in the desert, until all the nation who were men of war, who came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, —unto whom Yahweh sware that he would not let them see the land, which Yahweh sware unto their fathers, that he would give unto us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó gbé àwọn ọmọ wọn dìde dípò wọn, àwọn wọ̀nyí sì ni Joṣua kọ ní ilà. Wọ́n wà ní aláìkọlà nítorí a kò tí ì kọ wọ́n ní ilà ní ojú ọ̀nà.
Their sons, therefore, whom he had raised up in their stead, them, did Joshua circumcise, —for, uncircumcised, they were, in that they had not circumcised them by the way.
8 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè náà kọ ilà tan, wọ́n dúró ní ibi tí wọ́n wà ní ibùdó títí ilà wọn fi jinná.
And so it came to pass, when they had made an end of circumcising all the nation, they remained in their place, in the camp, until they were healed.
9 Nígbà náà ní Olúwa wí fún Joṣua pé, “Ní òní ni mo yí ẹ̀gàn Ejibiti kúrò ní orí yín.” Nítorí náà ni a ṣe ń pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ ní Gilgali títí ó fi di òní yìí.
Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, To-day, have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of that place is called Gilgal ["a rolling away"]unto this day.
10 Ní ìrọ̀lẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù náà, nígbà tí wọ́n pàgọ́ ní Gilgali ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Jeriko, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe ọdún àjọ ìrékọjá.
Thus then the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal, —and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the waste plains of Jericho.
11 Ní ọjọ́ kejì àjọ ìrékọjá, ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni, wọ́n jẹ nínú àwọn ìre oko ilẹ̀ náà: àkàrà aláìwú, àti ọkà yíyan.
And they did eat of the corn of the land, on the morrow of the passover, unleavened cakes and parched ears of corn, —on this selfsame day.
12 Manna náà sì tan ní ọjọ́ kejì tí wọ́n jẹ oúnjẹ tí ilẹ̀ náà mú jáde, kò sì sí manna kankan mọ́ fún àwọn ará Israẹli, ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún náà wọ́n jẹ ìre oko ilẹ̀ Kenaani.
And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the corn of the land, neither had the sons of Israel manna any more, —so they did eat of the yield of the land of Canaan throughout that year.
13 Nígbà tí Joṣua súnmọ́ Jeriko, ó wo òkè ó sì rí ọkùnrin kan tí ó dúró ní iwájú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀. Joṣua sì tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, ó sì bi í pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ wà fún wa tàbí fún ọ̀tá a wa?”
And it came to pass, while Joshua was at Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes, and looked, and lo! a man standing over against him, with his sword drawn, in his hand, —so Joshua went unto him, and said to him, For us, art thou, or for our adversaries?
14 “Kì í ṣe fún èyíkéyìí ó fèsì, ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí olórí ogun Olúwa ni mo wá nísinsin yìí.” Nígbà náà ni Joṣua sì wólẹ̀ ní iwájú u rẹ̀ ní ìbẹ̀rù, ó sì bi í léèrè, “Kí ni Olúwa ní í sọ fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀?”
And he said—Nay, but, I, as prince of the host of Yahweh, have, now, come. So Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said unto him, What is my lord speaking unto his servant?
15 Olórí ogun Olúwa sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Bọ́ sálúbàtà rẹ kúrò ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ, nítorí pé ibi tí ìwọ dúró sí yìí, ilẹ̀ mímọ́ ni.” Joṣua sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
Then said the prince of the host of Yahweh unto Joshua—Slip off thy sandals from thy feet, for, as for the place whereon thou art standing, holy, it is. And Joshua did so.
