Joshua 5
1 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.
Postquam ergo audierunt omnes reges Amorrhaeorum, 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.
2 At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
Eo tempore ait Dominus ad Iosue: Fac tibi cultros lapideos, et circumcide secundo filios Israel.
3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Fecit quod iusserat Dominus, et circumcidit filios Israel in colle praeputiorum.
4 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.
Haec autem causa est secundae circumcisionis: Omnis populus, qui egressus est de Aegypto generis masculini, universi bellatores viri, mortui sunt in deserto per longissimos viae circuitus,
5 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.
qui omnes circumcisi erant. Populus autem qui natus est in deserto,
6 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 did not listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he would not let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
per quadraginta annos itineris latissimae solitudinis incircumcisus fuit: donec consumerentur qui non audierant vocem Domini, et quibus ante iuraverat ut non ostenderet eis terram lacte et melle manantem.
7 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.
Horum filii in locum successerunt patrum, et circumcisi sunt a Iosue: quia sicut nati fuerant, in praeputio erant, nec eos in via aliquis circumciderat.
8 When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
Postquam autem omnes circumcisi sunt, manserunt in eodem castrorum loco, donec sanarentur.
9 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.
Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Hodie abstuli opprobrium Aegypti a vobis. Vocatumque est nomen loci illius Galgala, usque in praesentem diem.
10 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.
Manseruntque filii Israel in Galgalis, et fecerunt Phase, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperum in campestribus Iericho:
11 They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
et comederunt de frugibus Terrae die altero, azymos panes, et polentam eiusdem anni.
12 The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel did not have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Defecitque manna postquam comederunt de frugibus Terrae, nec usi sunt ultra cibo illo filii Israel, sed comederunt de frugibus praesentis anni Terrae Chanaan.
13 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?”
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?
14 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?”
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?
15 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.
Solve, inquit, calceamentum tuum de pedibus tuis: locus enim, in quo stas, sanctus est. Fecitque Iosue ut sibi fuerat imperatum.
