Josvas 5

1 Alle amoritarkongarne vestanfor Jordan og alle kananitarkongarne utmed havet vart so rædde at dei reint vilde uvita då det spurdest at Herren hadde turka ut Jordan for Israels-folket medan dei for yver, og dei hadde ingen hug meir til å taka att med Israels-sønerne.

And it 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 the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

2 I det same bilet sagde Herren til Josva: «Gjer deg steinknivar og umskjer Israels-sønerne att!»

At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."

3 So gjorde Josva seg steinknivar og umskar Israels-sønerne på ein haug som sidan vert kalla Huvudhaugen.

Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the Hill of the Foreskins.

4 Men at Josva laut umskjera deim, det hadde seg so: Alt folket som for frå Egyptarland, alle karar, alle våpnføre menner, hadde døytt burt i øydemarki på vegen frå Egyptarland.

This 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.

5 No var alle dei som for frå Egyptarland umskorne, men av deim som vart fødde på ferdi i øydemarki, var ingen umskoren.

For 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.

6 For i fyrti år laut Israels-sønerne ferdast i øydemarki, til dess heile folket, alle våpnføre menner som for frå Egyptarland, var daude og burte; dei vilde ikkje lyda Herrens ord, difor svor han deim til at dei ikkje skulde få sjå det landet han hadde lova federne deira å gjeva oss, eit land som fløymer med mjølk og honning.

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD, those to whom the LORD swore that they would not see the land which the LORD swore to their ancestors that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Men i staden for deim let han borni deira veksa upp; deim var det Josva umskar; for dei gjekk endå med huvehold, av di dei ikkje hadde vorte umskorne på ferdi.

And 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.

8 Då dette var frå seg gjort, og heile folket var umskore, heldt dei seg i ro i lægret til såri hadde batna.

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

9 Og Herren sagde til Josva: «I dag hev eg velt av dykk egyptarskammi.» Sidan hev den staden vore kalla Gilgal alt til denne dag.

And the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from off you." Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day.

10 Medan Israels-sønerne låg i læger attmed Gilgal, heldt dei påske på Jerikomoarne den fjortande dagen i månaden, um kvelden.

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

11 Og dagen etter påske åt dei av landsens grøda; usyrt brød og steikte aks åt dei den dagen.

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

12 Same dagen traut manna; for no åt Israels-folket av landsens grøda, og sidan fekk dei ikkje meir manna, men tok same året til å eta av det som var avla i Kana’ans-landet.

The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel did not have manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

13 Då Josva var innmed Jeriko, hende det honom noko: Best som han lyfte upp augo, vart han var ein mann som stod beint framfyre honom med eit drege sverd i handi. Då gjekk Josva burt til mannen og sagde: «Er du av våre folk, eller høyrer du til fienden?»

It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and look, 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?"

14 «Nei», svara han, «eg er hovdingen yver Herrens her. No er eg komen.» Josva fall på kne og bøygde seg til jordi og sagde: «Kva hev herren min å segja tenaren sin?»

And he said to him, "Truly I am the commander of the army of the LORD. Now I have come." And Joshua fell facedown to the ground and worshipped, and said to him, "What does my lord say to his servant?"

15 Då svara hovdingen yver Herrens her: «Drag skoen av foten din! for den staden du stend på, er heilag.» Og Josva gjorde so.

The commander of the army of the LORD said to Joshua, "Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy." Joshua did so.
