1 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.

When all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until we had crossed over, their hearts melted and there was no spirit in them any more because of the Israelites.

2 N a 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.

At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make knives of flint and circumcise the Israelites as before.

3 A hanga ana e Hohua etahi maripi kohatu, a kotia iho nga tama a Iharaira ki te pukepuke o nga kiri matamata.

So Joshua made knives of flint and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.

4 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.

And this is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way after they came out of Egypt.

5 N a 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.

Though all the people who came out were circumcised, yet all the people who were born in the wilderness on the way after Israel came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

6 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.

For the Israelites walked forty years in the wilderness till all who were men of war who came out of Egypt perished, because they did not hearken to the voice of the Lord; to them the Lord swore that He would not let them see the land which the Lord swore to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 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.

So it was their uncircumcised children whom He raised up in their stead whom Joshua circumcised, because the rite had not been performed on the way.

8 A , no ka poto katoa nga tangata te kokoti e ratou, ka noho ratou ki te puni ki o ratou wahi a mahu noa.

When they finished circumcising all the males of the nation, they remained in their places in the camp till they were healed.

9 N a 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.

And the Lord said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. So the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

10 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.

And the Israelites encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

11 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.

And on that same day they ate the produce of the land: unleavened cakes and parched grain.

12 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.

And the manna ceased on the day after they ate of the produce of the land; and the Israelites had manna no more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

13 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?

When Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up, and behold, a Man stood near him with His drawn sword in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, Are you for us or for our adversaries?

14 K a 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?

And He said, No, but as Prince of the Lord’s host have I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, What says my Lord to His servant?

15 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.

And the Prince of the Lord’s host said to Joshua, Loose your shoes from off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
