Joshua 5
1 Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel.
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.
2 At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
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.
3 He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.
Dia nanao fiharatra vato ho azy Josoa ka namora ny Zanak’ Isiraely teo an-kavoana Haralota.
4 Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.
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.
5 Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,
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.
6 Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing with milk and honey.
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.
7 The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way.
Ary ny zanany no natsangany handimby azy, ka ireo no noforan’ i Josoa; fa tsy mbola voafora ireo, satria tsy noforana teny an-dalana.
8 Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.
Ary rehefa noforana ny lehilahy rehetra, dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny fitoerany tany an-toby izy mandra-pahasitrany.
9 And the Lord said to Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present day.
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.
10 And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho:
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.
11 And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.
Ary nony ampitson’ ny Paska, dia nihinana ny vokatry ny tany izy tamin’ izany andro izany indrindra, dia mofo tsy misy masirasira sy lango.
12 And the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan.
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.
13 And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries?
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?
14 And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come. Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord to his servant?
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?
15 Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
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.
