< Joshua 5 >

1 When all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
A, no te rongonga o nga kingi katoa o nga Amori, o era ki te taha ki te hauauru o Horano, me nga kingi katoa o nga Kanaani, o era i te moana, ki te whakamaroketanga a Ihowa i nga wai o Horano i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira a whiti noa matou, n a ka ngohe noa o ratou ngakau, kahore atu hoki o ratou wairua, i te wehi ki nga tama a Iharaira.
2 At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
Na i taua wa ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Hanga etahi maripi kohatu mau, a ka tuarua i te kotinga o nga tama a Iharaira.
3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
A hanga ana e Hohua etahi maripi kohatu, a kotia iho nga tama a Iharaira ki te pukepuke o nga kiri matamata.
4 This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.
A ko te take tenei i kokoti ai a Hohua: ko te hunga katoa i puta mai i Ihipa, ko nga tane, ko nga tangata hapai patu, i mate ki te ara i te koraha, i muri i to ratou putanga mai i Ihipa.
5 For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
Na ko te hunga katoa i puta mai he mea kokoti katoa: tena ko te hunga i whanau ki te ara i te koraha i to ratou putanga mai i Ihipa, kihai ena i kotia e ratou.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
E wha tekau hoki nga tau i haere ai nga tama a Iharaira i te koraha, a poto noa te hunga hapai puta katoa i puta mai i Ihipa, mo ratou kihai i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa: ko nga tangata hoki i oati nei a Ihowa ki a ratou, e kore e whakakitea ki a ra tou te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki o ratou matua kia homai e ia ki a tatou, te whenua hoki e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.
7 Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
A, ko a ratou tamariki i whakaarahia ake e ia hei whakakapi mo ratou, ko ratou i kotia e Hohua: no te mea kahore o ratou kotinga; kahore nei hoki ratou i kotia i te huarahi.
8 When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
A, no ka poto katoa nga tangata te kokoti e ratou, ka noho ratou ki te puni ki o ratou wahi a mahu noa.
9 The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, No tenei ra i hurihia atu ai e ahau te taunutanga o Ihipa i a koutou. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi ko Kirikara a tae noa mai ki tenei ra.
10 The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
A i noho nga tama a Iharaira ki Kirikara; a i mahi ratou i te kapenga i te tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama i te ahiahi, i nga mania o Heriko.
11 They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
A, no te aonga ake i te kapenga, i kai ai ratou i te witi o te whenua, he keke kihai i rewenatia, me te witi pahuhu, no taua rangi pu ano.
12 The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
A i whakamutua te mana i te aonga ake o te ra, i muri i ta ratou kainga i te witi ake o te whenua; kahore atu hoki he mana ma nga tama a Iharaira; heoti, kai ana ratou i nga hua o te whenua o Kanaana i taua tau.
13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”
A, i a Hohua i Heriko, na ka anga ake ona kanohi, ka titiro, na he tangata e tu mai ana i tona aroaro, ko tana hoari hoki i tona ringa, unu rawa: na ka haere atu a Hohua ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, mo matou ranei koe, mo o matou hoariri ranei?
14 He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of the LORD’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
Ka mea ia, Kahore; engari he rangatira no te ope a Ihowa ahau i haere mai nei. Na ka tapapa a Hohua ki te whenua, ka koropiko, ka mea ki a ia, E pehea mai ana toku ariki ki tana pononga?
15 The prince of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
A ka mea te rangatira o te ope a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Wetekina tou hu i tou waewae; he tapu hoki te wahi e tu na koe. A pera ana a Hohua.
