Исус Навиев 5
1 А когато всичките аморейски царе, които бяха оттатък Иордан на запад, и всичките ханаански царе, които бяха при морето, чуха, че Господ пресуши водата на Иордан пред израилтяните догде преминаха, сърцата им се стопиха, и душа не остана в тях поради израилтяните.
All the kings of the people-groups to the west of the Jordan River and all the kings of the groups who were descendants of Canaan and who lived close to the [Mediterranean] Sea heard about how Yahweh had dried up the water of the Jordan [River] until all we Israeli people had crossed over. So they became very dismayed. They no longer were courageous enough to fight us.
2 В това време Господ рече на Исуса: Направи си кремъчни ножове и обрежи пак израилтяните, втори път.
While [they were camped at Gilgal], Yahweh said to Joshua, “[The Israeli males who lived in Egypt were circumcised before they left there. Now] make knives from flint stones and circumcise all the Israeli males [who have been born since then].”
3 И тъй, Исус си направи кремъчни ножове и обряза израилтяните на мястото Хълм на краекожията.
So Joshua [made knives and] circumcised the Israeli males at a place that is now called ‘Circumcision Hill’.
4 А ето причината, по която Исус извърши обрязването: всичките мъжки, които излязоха из Египет, всичките военни мъже, измряха в пустинята по пътя, след като бяха излезли из Египет;
[The reason they did that is that all the men who left Egypt], those who were old enough to be soldiers, died in the desert after they left Egypt.
5 и всичките люде, които излязоха, бяха обрязани; а всичките люде, които се родиха в пустинята по пътя, след като бяха излезли из Египет, не бяха обрязани.
They had been circumcised in Egypt, but the baby boys who had been born while their parents were camping in the desert after they left Egypt had not been circumcised.
6 Защото израилтяните ходиха четиридесет години по пустинята, догде се изтребиха всичките люде, излезли из Египет военни мъже, които не послушаха Господния глас, на които Господ се кле, че не ще ги остави да видят земята, за която Господ беше се клел на бащите им, че ще ни я даде, земя гдето текат мляко и мед.
Our Israeli ancestors traveled around in the desert for 40 years, and all the men who were old enough to be soldiers had died. [The women had also died]. They had not obeyed Yahweh, so Yahweh said that they would not arrive at the land that he had promised to our ancestors that he would give to us, a land that was very fertile [MTY].
7 А вместо тях Той издигна синовете им, които Исус обряза; защото бяха необрязани, понеже не бяха ги обрязали по пътя.
The sons of those who had disobeyed Yahweh were the ones whom Joshua circumcised at Gilgal. They were circumcised because they had not been circumcised [while they were traveling in the desert].
8 И като се обрязаха всичките люде, седяха на местата си в стана догде оздравяха.
After all the Israeli males had been circumcised, they remained in the camp and rested until their wounds were healed.
9 Тогава Господ рече на Исуса: Днес отнех от вас египетския позор. За това онова място се нарича Галгал, както се казва и до днес.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “[Because your forefathers were slaves in Egypt], the Egyptians felt a revulsion toward you. But today I have removed the revulsion the Egyptians have had toward you.” Because of that, the people called the place ‘Gilgal’, [which sounds like the Hebrew word ‘removed’, ] and it still has that name.
10 А израилтяните разположиха стан в Галгал, и направиха пасхата на четиринадесетия ден от месеца, привечер, на ерихонските полета.
In the evening of the fourteenth day of that month, while the Israeli people were camped at Gilgal, on the plain near Jericho [city], they celebrated the Passover [Festival].
11 И на сутринта на пасхата, в същия ден, ядоха безквасни хлябове от житото на земята и изпържено жито.
The next day, they found some barley grain in the fields in that area. So they took that and roasted it and ate it with bread that was made without yeast.
12 А на сутринта, като ядоха от житото на земята, манната престана; и израилтяните нямаха вече манна, но през тая година ядяха от рожбите на Ханаанската земя.
The next day, [God] stopped [sending] manna for the Israeli people to eat. After that, they ate food that was grown in Canaan.
13 И когато беше Исус при Ерихон, подигна очи и видя, и, ето, насреща му стоеше човек с измъкнат нож в ръка; и Исус пристъпи при него и му рече: Наш ли си, или от неприятелите ни?
One day when Joshua came near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword in his hand. Joshua approached him and asked him, “Are you [going to fight] for us or against us?”
14 А той рече: Не; но за Военачалник на Господното войнство сега дойдох аз. И Исус падна с лицето си на земята и се поклони; и рече му: Що заповяда Господарят ми на слугата си?
The man replied, “I am not [planning to fight with you] or [against you]. Instead, I am the commander of Yahweh’s army [in heaven], and I have come [down from there to assure you that Yahweh will help you].” Then Joshua bowed down with his face on the ground (to show his respect for/to worship) the man, and said to him, “Tell me what [you want me to do].”
15 А военачалникът на Господното войнство рече на Исуса: Изуй обущата си от нозете, защото мястото, на което стоиш, е свето. И Исус стори така.
The commander of Yahweh’s army replied, “Take off your sandals! [I am Yahweh, and] the ground on which you are standing is holy because I am here.” So Joshua took off his sandals.
