¹Ary 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. [Na: (mandra-pitantsika)]

¹It happened, 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 that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

²[Ny namorana ny olona izay nateraka tany an-efitra, sy ny nitandremany ny Paska, ary ny nitsaharan'ny mana] 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.

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

³Dia nanao fiharatra vato ho azy Josoa ka namora ny Zanak'Isiraely teo an-kavoana Haralota.

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

⁴Ary 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.

⁴This is the reason Joshua circumcised: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.

⁵Ary 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.

⁵For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

⁶Fa 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.

⁶For 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 voice of Yahweh. Yahweh swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which Yahweh swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁷Ary ny zanany no natsangany handimby azy, ka ireo no noforan'i Josoa; fa tsy mbola voafora ireo, satria tsy noforana teny an-dalana.

⁷Their 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.

⁸Ary rehefa noforana ny lehilahy rehetra, dia nitoetra tao amin'ny fitoerany tany an-toby izy mandra-pahasitrany.

⁸It happened, when they were done circumcising all the nation, that they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.

⁹Dia 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. [Gilgala = Fanakodiavana]

⁹Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, “Gilgal” sounds like the Hebrew for “roll.” to this day.

¹⁰Ary 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.[Heb. Arabà]

¹⁰The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

¹¹Ary nony ampitson'ny Paska, dia nihinana ny vokatry ny tany izy tamin'izany andro izany indrindra, dia mofo tsy misy masirasira sy lango.

¹¹They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.

¹²Ary 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.

¹²The 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.

¹³[Ny nisehoan'ny Komandin'ny miaramilan'i Jehovah tamin'i Josoa, sy ny nahafahan'ny Isiraely an'i Jeriko] 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?

¹³It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that 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 adversaries?”

¹⁴Dia 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 ?Dia hoy Ilay Komandin'ny miaramilan'i Jehovah tamin'i Josoa: Esory amin'ny tongotrao ny kapanao; fa masina io tany ijanonanao io. Dia nataon'i Josoa izany.

¹⁴He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”

¹⁵Dia hoy Ilay Komandin'ny miaramilan'i Jehovah tamin'i Josoa: Esory amin'ny tongotrao ny kapanao; fa masina io tany ijanonanao io. Dia nataon'i Josoa izany.

¹⁵The prince of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
