Jošua 5

1 Pošto su čuli svi kraljevi amorejski na zapadnoj strani Jordana i svi kraljevi kanaanski koji bijahu uz more da je Jahve osušio Jordan pred Izraelcima dok ne prijeđoše, zastade im srce i nestade im junaštva pred Izraelcima.

Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

2 U to vrijeme Jahve reče Jošui: “Načini sebi kamene noževe i ponovo obreži Izraelce.”

At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make yourself stone knives and give the children of Israel circumcision a second time.

3 Jošua načini sebi kamene noževe i obreza Izraelce na brežuljku Aralotu.

So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth.

4 A evo zašto ih je Jošua obrezao: sve ljudstvo što je izišlo iz Egipta, sve što mogaše nositi oružje, pomrlo je na putu kroz pustinju.

And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

5 Svi oni bijahu obrezani, ali nije bio obrezan nitko koji se rodio na putu kroz pustinju, poslije izlaska iz Egipta,

All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.

6 jer su četrdeset godina Izraelci lutali pustinjom dok ne pomriješe svi za oružje sposobni koji bijahu izišli iz Egipta; nisu slušali glasa Jahvina te im se Jahve zakleo da njihove oči neće vidjeti zemlju koju je obećao njihovim ocima - zemlju u kojoj teče mlijeko i med.

For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Na njihovo je mjesto podigao sinove njihove i njih je Jošua obrezao: nisu bili obrezani jer se na putu nije obrezivalo.

And their children, who came up in their place, now underwent circumcision by the hands of Joshua, not having had it before: for there had been no circumcision on the journey.

8 Kad je bio obrezan sav narod, počivali su u taboru sve dok nisu ozdravili.

So when all the nation had undergone circumcision, they kept in their tents till they were well again.

9 Tada reče Jahve Jošui: “Danas skidoh s vas sramotu egipatsku.” I prozva se ono mjesto Gilgal sve do naših dana.

And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day.

10 Izraelci se, dakle, utaboriše u Gilgalu i ondje na Jerihonskim poljanama proslaviše Pashu uvečer četrnaestoga dana u mjesecu.

So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the lowlands of Jericho.

11 A sutradan poslije Pashe, upravo toga dana, blagovali su od uroda one zemlje: beskvasna kruha i pržena zrnja.

And on the day after the Passover, they had for their food the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and dry grain on the same day.

12 I mÓana je prestala padati čim su počeli jesti plodove zemlje. Tako Izraelci nisu više imali mane, nego su se te godine hranili plodovima zemlje kanaanske.

And there was no more manna from the day after they had for their food the produce of the land; the children of Israel had manna no longer, but that year the produce of the land of Canaan was their food.

13 Kad se Jošua približio gradu Jerihonu, podiže oči i ugleda čovjeka kako pred njim stoji s isukanim mačem u ruci. Jošua mu pristupi i upita ga: “Jesi li ti s nama ili s našim neprijateljima?”

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, lifting up his eyes he saw a man in front of him, with his sword uncovered in his hand: and Joshua went up to him and said, Are you for us or against us?

14 A on odgovori: “Ne, ja sam vođa vojske Jahvine i upravo sam došao ...” Tada Jošua pade ničice, pokloni mu se i reče: “Što zapovijedaš Gospodaru, sluzi svome?”

And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?

15 A vođa vojske Jahvine odgovori Jošui: “Skini obuću s nogu svojih, jer je sveto mjesto na kojem stojiš.” I Jošua učini tako.

And the captain of the Lord's army said to Joshua, Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy. And Joshua did so.
