< Jozue 5 >

1 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.
Therefore, after all the kings of the Amorites, who were living across the Jordan toward the western region, and all the kings of Canaan, who possessed the places beside the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel, until they crossed over it, their heart was broken, and there remained in them no spirit, out of fear at the entrance of the sons of Israel.
2 Ob tistem času je Gospod rekel Józuetu: »Naredi si ostre nože in ponovno, drugič, obreži Izraelove otroke.«
So at that time, the Lord said to Joshua: “Make for yourself knives of stone, and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.”
3 Józue si je naredil ostre nože in Izraelove otroke obrezal na hribu prednjih kožic.
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 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.
Now this is the reason for the second circumcision: All the people who departed from Egypt of the male gender, all the men fit for war, died in the desert during the very long wandering way;
5 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.
all these had been circumcised. But the people who were born in the desert,
6 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.
throughout the forty years of the journey in the very broad wilderness, were uncircumcised, until the ones who had not listened to the voice of the Lord were consumed. For he had sworn to them before, that he would not reveal to them the land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Njihove otroke, ki jih je dvignil namesto njih, te je Józue obrezal, kajti bili so neobrezani, ker jih po poti niso obrezali.
The sons of these ones succeeded to the place of their fathers, and they were circumcised by Joshua. For they were uncircumcised, just as they had been born, and no one had circumcised them along the way.
8 Pripetilo se je, ko so naredili obrezo vsega ljudstva, da so ostali na svojih prostorih v taboru, dokler niso okrevali.
Then, after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp until they were healed.
9 Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Danes sem od tebe odvalil egiptovsko grajo.« Zaradi tega se ime kraja imenuje Gilgál do današnjega dne.
And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have taken away from you the disgrace of Egypt.” And the name of that place was called Gilgal, even to the present day.
10 Izraelovi otroci so se utaborili v Gilgálu in na štirinajsti dan meseca zvečer praznovali pasho na ravninah Jerihe.
And the sons of Israel stayed at Gilgal, and they kept the Passover, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the plains of Jericho.
11 Naslednji dan po pashi so jedli od starega žita dežele, nekvašene kolače in praženo žito, na prav isti dan.
And on the following day, they ate unleavened bread from the grain of the land, and cooked grain, of the same year.
12 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.
And the manna ceased after they ate from the grain of the land. And the sons of Israel no longer made use of that food. Instead, they ate from the grain of the present year, from the land of Canaan.
13 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?«
And when Joshua was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and he saw a man standing opposite him, holding a drawn sword. And he went to him and said, “Are you one of ours, or one of our adversaries?”
14 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?«
And he responded: “Not at all. Instead, I am a prince of the host of the Lord, and now I have arrived.” Joshua fell prone on the ground. And reverencing, he said, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
15 Poveljnik Gospodove vojske je Józuetu rekel: »Sezuj svoj čevelj s svojega stopala, kajti kraj, na katerem stojiš, je svet.« In Józue je storil tako.
He said: “Remove your shoes from your feet. For the place on which you stand is holy.” And Joshua did just as he had been commanded.
