Joshua 5

1 And it came to pass when the kings of the Amorites who were beyond Jordan heard, and the kings of Phoenicia by the sea, that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan from before the children of Israel when they passed over, that their hearts failed, and they were terror-stricken, and there was no sense in them because of the children of Israel.

Pripetilo se je, ko so vsi kralji Amoréjcev, ki so bili na zahodni strani Jordana in vsi kralji Kánaancev, ki so bili poleg morja, slišali, da je Gospod izpred Izraelovih otrok posušil vode Jordana, dokler nismo prešli čez, da se je njihovo srce stopilo niti ni bilo več tam v njih duha zaradi Izraelovih otrok.

2 And about this time the Lord said to Joshua, Make you stone knives of sharp stone, and sit down and circumcise the children of Israel the second time.

Ob tistem času je Gospod rekel Józuetu: »Naredi si ostre nože in ponovno, drugič, obreži Izraelove otroke.«

3 And Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the “Hill of Foreskins.”

Józue si je naredil ostre nože in Izraelove otroke obrezal na hribu prednjih kožic.

4 And [this is] the way in which Joshua purified the children of Israel; as many as were born in the way, and as many as were uncircumcised of them that came out of Egypt,

In to je razlog, zakaj je Józue obrezal. Vse ljudstvo, ki je prišlo iz Egipta, kar jih je bilo moških, torej vsi bojevniki, so umrli po poti v divjini, potem ko so prišli iz Egipta.

5 all these Joshua circumcised; for forty and two years Israel wondered in the wilderness of Mabdaris—

Torej vse ljudstvo, ki je izšlo, je bilo obrezano. Toda vsega ljudstva, ki je bilo rojeno po poti v divjini, ko so izšli iz Egipta, njih niso obrezali.

6 Therefore most of the fighting men that came out of the land of Egypt, were uncircumcised, who disobeyed the commands of God; concerning whom also he determined that they should not see the land, which the Lord sware to give to their fathers, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey.

Kajti Izraelovi otroci so štirideset let hodili po divjini, dokler ni bilo vse ljudstvo, ki so bili bojevniki, ki so prišli iz Egipta, použito, ker niso ubogali Gospodovega glasu, katerim je Gospod prisegel, da jim ne bo pokazal dežele, ki jo je Gospod prisegel njihovim očetom, da nam jo bo dal, deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med.

7 And in their place he raised up their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised, having been born by the way.

Njihove otroke, ki jih je dvignil namesto njih, te je Józue obrezal, kajti bili so neobrezani, ker jih po poti niso obrezali.

8 And when they had been circumcised they rested continuing there in the camp till they were healed.

Pripetilo se je, ko so naredili obrezo vsega ljudstva, da so ostali na svojih prostorih v taboru, dokler niso okrevali.

9 And the Lord said to Joshua the son of Naue, On this day have I removed the reproach of Egypt from you: and he called the name of that place Galgala.

Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Danes sem od tebe odvalil egiptovsko grajo.« Zaradi tega se ime kraja imenuje Gilgál do današnjega dne.

10 And the children of Israel kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, to the westward of Jericho on the opposite side of the Jordan in the plain.

Izraelovi otroci so se utaborili v Gilgálu in na štirinajsti dan meseca zvečer praznovali pasho na ravninah Jerihe.

11 And they ate of the grain of the earth unleavened and new [corn].

Naslednji dan po pashi so jedli od starega žita dežele, nekvašene kolače in praženo žito, na prav isti dan.

12 In this day the manna failed, after they had eaten of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel no longer had manna: and they took the fruits of the land of the Phoenicians in that year.

Mana je prenehala naslednji dan, potem ko so jedli od starega žita dežele niti Izraelovi otroci niso imeli več mane, temveč so tisto leto jedli od sadov kánaanske dežele.

13 And it came to pass when Joshua was in Jericho, that he looked up with his eyes and saw a man standing before him, and [there was] a drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua drew near and said to him, Are you for us or on the side of our enemies?

Pripetilo se je, ko je bil Józue pri Jerihi, da je povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, nasproti njega je stal mož z izvlečenim mečem v svoji roki. Józue je odšel k njemu ter mu rekel: » Ali si za nas ali za naše nasprotnike?«

14 And he said to him, I am now come, the chief captain of the host of the Lord. And Joshua fell on his face upon the earth, and said to him, Lord, what command you your servant?

Odgovoril je: »Ne, temveč kot poveljnik Gospodove vojske; sedaj sem prišel.« Józue je padel na svoj obraz k zemlji in oboževal ter mu rekel: »Kaj pravi moj gospod svojemu služabniku?«

15 And the captain of the Lord's host said to Joshua, Loose your shoe off your feet, for the place whereon you now stand is holy.

Poveljnik Gospodove vojske je Józuetu rekel: »Sezuj svoj čevelj s svojega stopala, kajti kraj, na katerem stojiš, je svet.« In Józue je storil tako.
