Joshua 5

1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard how that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

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.

2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

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.”

3 And Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Siosiua ʻae ngaahi hele māsila, ʻo ne kamuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi Kipahalaloti.

4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: all the people that came forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt.

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.

5 For all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.

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.

6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war which came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not let them see the land which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

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.

7 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them did Joshua circumcise: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.

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.

8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

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.

9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto this day.

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.

10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

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.

11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched corn, in the selfsame day.

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.

12 And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

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.

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

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?”

14 And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

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?”

15 And the captain of the LORD’S host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

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.”
