Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
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.
2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
I det same bilet sagde Herren til Josva: «Gjer deg steinknivar og umskjer Israels-sønerne att!»
3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
So gjorde Josva seg steinknivar og umskar Israels-sønerne på ein haug som sidan vert kalla Huvudhaugen.
4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
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.
5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth from Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
No var alle dei som for frå Egyptarland umskorne, men av deim som vart fødde på ferdi i øydemarki, var ingen umskoren.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
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.
7 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
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.
8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were healed.
Då dette var frå seg gjort, og heile folket var umskore, heldt dei seg i ro i lægret til såri hadde batna.
9 And the LORD said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
Og Herren sagde til Josva: «I dag hev eg velt av dykk egyptarskammi.» Sidan hev den staden vore kalla Gilgal alt til denne dag.
10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
Medan Israels-sønerne låg i læger attmed Gilgal, heldt dei påske på Jerikomoarne den fjortande dagen i månaden, um kvelden.
11 And they ate of the old grain of the land on the next day after the passover, unleavened cakes, and roasted grain in the same day.
Og dagen etter påske åt dei av landsens grøda; usyrt brød og steikte aks åt dei den dagen.
12 And the manna ceased on the next day after they had eaten of the old grain of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
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.
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
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?»
14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord to his servant?
«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?»
15 And the captain of the LORD’S host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place on which thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
Då svara hovdingen yver Herrens her: «Drag skoen av foten din! for den staden du stend på, er heilag.» Og Josva gjorde so.
