Iosue 5
1 Postquam ergo audierunt omnes reges Amorrhæorum, qui habitabant trans Iordanem ad Occidentalem plagam, et cuncti reges Chanaan, qui propinqua possidebant magni maris loca, quod siccasset Dominus fluenta Iordanis coram filiis Israel donec transirent, dissolutum est cor eorum, et non remansit in eis spiritus, timentium introitum filiorum Israel.
As soon as all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were along the coast of the Great Sea, heard that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan until the people of Israel had crossed over, their hearts melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel.
2 Eo tempore ait Dominus ad Iosue: Fac tibi cultros lapideos, et circumcide secundo filios Israel.
At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and once more circumcise all the males of Israel.”
3 Fecit quod iusserat Dominus, et circumcidit filios Israel in colle præputiorum.
Then Joshua made himself flint knives and he circumcised all the males of Israel at Gibeath Haaraloth.
4 Hæc autem causa est secundæ circumcisionis: Omnis populus, qui egressus est de Ægypto generis masculini, universi bellatores viri, mortui sunt in deserto per longissimos viæ circuitus,
This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: All the males who had come out of Egypt, including all the men of war, had died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out from Egypt.
5 qui omnes circumcisi erant. Populus autem qui natus est in deserto,
Though all the males who came out of Egypt were circumcised, still, none of the boys born in the wilderness on the way out of Egypt had been circumcised.
6 per quadraginta annos itineris latissimæ solitudinis incircumcisus fuit: donec consumerentur qui non audierant vocem Domini, et quibus ante iuraverat ut non ostenderet eis terram lacte et melle manantem.
For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the people, that is, all the men of war who had come out of Egypt, died, because they did not obey the voice of Yahweh. Yahweh swore to them that he would not let them see the land that he had sworn to their ancestors that he would give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Horum filii in locum successerunt patrum, et circumcisi sunt a Iosue: quia sicut nati fuerant, in præputio erant, nec eos in via aliquis circumciderat.
It was their children that Yahweh raised up in their place that Joshua circumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 Postquam autem omnes circumcisi sunt, manserunt in eodem castrorum loco, donec sanarentur.
When they were all circumcised, they remained where they were in the camp until they healed.
9 Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Hodie abstuli opprobrium Ægypti a vobis. Vocatumque est nomen loci illius Galgala, usque in præsentem diem.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” So, the name of that place has been called Gilgal until this present day.
10 Manseruntque filii Israel in Galgalis, et fecerunt Phase, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperum in campestribus Iericho:
The people of Israel camped at Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, on the plains of Jericho.
11 et comederunt de frugibus Terræ die altero, azymos panes, et polentam eiusdem anni.
On the day after Passover, that same day, they ate some of the produce of the land on the day, unleavened bread and roasted grain.
12 Defecitque manna postquam comederunt de frugibus Terræ, nec usi sunt ultra cibo illo filii Israel, sed comederunt de frugibus præsentis anni Terræ Chanaan.
The manna stopped on the day after they ate the produce of the land. There was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate the produce of the land of Canaan that year.
13 Cum autem esset Iosue in agro urbis Iericho, levavit oculos, et vidit virum stantem contra se, evaginatum tenentem gladium, perrexitque ad eum, et ait: Noster es, an adversariorum?
When Joshua was near Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing in front of him; he had drawn his sword and it was in his hand. Joshua went to him and said, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
14 Qui respondit: Nequaquam: sed sum princeps exercitus Domini, et nunc venio. Cecidit Iosue pronus in terram. Et adorans ait: Quid dominus meus loquitur ad servum suum?
He said, “Neither. For I am the commander of the army of Yahweh. Now I have come.” Then Joshua lay facedown on the ground to worship and said to him, “What does my master say to his servant?”
15 Solve, inquit, calceamentum tuum de pedibus tuis: locus enim, in quo stas, sanctus est. Fecitque Iosue ut sibi fuerat imperatum.
The commander of Yahweh's army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, because the place you are standing is holy.” That is what Joshua did.
