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.

To, da dukan sarakunan Amoriyawa na yammancin Urdun, da dukan sarakunan Kan’aniyawan da suke bakin teku suka ji yadda Ubangiji ya busar da kogin Urdun a gaban Isra’ilawa, har sai da dukansu suka ƙetare, zuciyarsu ta narke, suka karaya sosai har ma suka rasa samun ƙarfin hali su fuskanci Isra’ilawa.

2 At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”

A lokacin nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ka yi wuƙaƙe na duwatsu ka yi wa Isra’ilawa kaciya.”

3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

Sai Yoshuwa ya yi wuƙaƙe na duwatsu, ya yi wa Isra’ilawa kaciya a Gibeyat-Ha’aralot.

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.

Dalilin da ya sa ya yi haka shi ne, dukan waɗanda suka fito daga Masar, dukan mazan da suka kai shekarun shiga soja, sun mutu a cikin jeji a hanya bayan sun bar Masar.

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.

Dukan mutanen da suka fito daga Masar an yi musu kaciya, amma duk waɗanda aka haifa a jeji a tafiya daga Masar, ba a yi musu ba.

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.

Isra’ilawa sun yi tafiya a jeji shekaru arba’in, har sai da dukan mazan da suka kai shekarun shiga soja da suka bar Masar suka mutu, domin ba su yi wa Ubangiji biyayya ba. Gama Ubangiji ya rantse cewa ba zai bar su su ga ƙasar da ya yi wa iyayensu alkawari da rantsuwa cewa zai ba su ba, ƙasar da zuma da madara suke kwarara, ƙasar da take cike da albarka.

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.

Sai ya sa yaransu ne suka taso a maimakonsu, su ne waɗanda Yoshuwa ya yi wa kaciya. Sun kasance ba kaciya gama ba a yi musu ba a hanya.

8 When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.

Kuma bayan da aka yi wa al’ummar kaciya dukansu, sai suka dakata a nan, sai da suka warke.

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.

Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Yau na kawar muku da zargin Masar.” Saboda haka ake kiran sunan wurin Gilgal har wa yau.

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.

Da yamman rana ta goma sha huɗu ga wata, lokacin da suke a Gilgal a filin Yeriko, Isra’ilawa suka yi Bikin Ƙetarewa.

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 kashegarin Bikin, a wannan rana, sai suka ci daga cikin amfanin ƙasar, burodi marar yisti da hatsin da aka gasa.

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.

Kashegari bayan da suka ci amfanin ƙasar kuwa, Manna ta yanke, mutanen Isra’ila kuma ba su ƙara samunta ba. A wannan shekara suka fara cin amfanin ƙasar Kan’ana.

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?”

To, da Yoshuwa ya yi kusa da Yeriko, ya tā da idanunsa ya duba, sai ya ga wani mutum tsaye a gabansa riƙe da takobi, sai Yoshuwa ya je wurinsa ya ce masa, “Kai namu ne ko na abokan gābanmu?”

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?”

Mutumin ya ce, “Babu ko ɗaya, na dai zo ne a matsayin shugaban rundunar sojojin Ubangiji.” Sai Yoshuwa ya kwanta da fuskarsa har ƙasa, ya girmama shi, ya ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, wane saƙo kake da shi domin bawanka?”

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.

Shugaban rundunar sojojin Ubangiji ya amsa ya ce, “Ka cire takalmanka, gama wurin da kake tsaye, mai tsarki ne.” Sai Yoshuwa ya cire takalmansa.
