Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel.
1Pea 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.
2At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
2¶ 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.”
3He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.
3Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Siosiua ʻae ngaahi hele māsila, ʻo ne kamuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi Kipahalaloti.
4Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.
4Pea 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.
5Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,
5Pea 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.
6Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing with milk and honey.
6He 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.
7The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way.
7Pea 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.
8Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.
8Pea 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.
9And the Lord said to Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present day.
9Pea 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.
10And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho:
10¶ 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.
11And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.
11Pea 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.
12And the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan.
12¶ 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.
13And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries?
13¶ 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?”
14And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come.
14Pea 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?”
15Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord to his servant?
15Pea 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.”
16Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
