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 all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in 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 Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
3 Jošua načini sebi kamene noževe i obreza Izraelce na brežuljku Aralotu.
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.
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.
Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.
5 Svi oni bijahu obrezani, ali nije bio obrezan nitko koji se rodio na putu kroz pustinju, poslije izlaska iz Egipta,
Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,
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.
Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the 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.
The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way.
8 Kad je bio obrezan sav narod, počivali su u taboru sve dok nisu ozdravili.
Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.
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 Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present day.
10 Izraelci se, dakle, utaboriše u Gilgalu i ondje na Jerihonskim poljanama proslaviše Pashu uvečer četrnaestoga dana u mjesecu.
And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho:
11 A sutradan poslije Pashe, upravo toga dana, blagovali su od uroda one zemlje: beskvasna kruha i pržena zrnja.
And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.
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 the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan.
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?”
And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries?
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 answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come. Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord 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.
Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
