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.
When all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, 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 flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
3 Jošua načini sebi kamene noževe i obreza Izraelce na brežuljku Aralotu.
Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at 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.
This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along 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,
For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
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 walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would 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.
Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
8 Kad je bio obrezan sav narod, počivali su u taboru sve dok nisu ozdravili.
When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in 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.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.
10 Izraelci se, dakle, utaboriše u Gilgalu i ondje na Jerihonskim poljanama proslaviše Pashu uvečer četrnaestoga dana u mjesecu.
The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover 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.
They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in 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.
The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
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?”
When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”
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?”
He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of the LORD’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked him, “What does my lord 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.
The prince of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
