Joshua 5
1 Nowe when all the Kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Iorden Westward, and all the Kinges of the Canaanites which were by the Sea, heard that the Lord had dried vp the waters of Iorden before the children of Israel vntill they were gone ouer, their heart fainted: and there was no courage in them any more because of the children of Israel.
住在約旦河西岸所有的阿摩黎人的王子，和所有靠近海濱的客納罕人的王子，一聽見上主使約旦河水在以色列子民面前乾涸了，直到他們都過了河，無不膽戰心驚，面對以色列子民，個個嚇得魂不附體。
2 That same time the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Make thee sharpe kniues, and returne, and circumcise the sonnes of Israel the second time.
那時上主對若蘇厄說：「你應製造火石刀，再給以色列子民行割損。」
3 Then Ioshua made him sharpe kniues and circumcised the sonnes of Israel in the hill of the foreskinnes.
若蘇厄就製造了火石刀，在阿辣羅特山丘給以色列子民行了割損。
4 And this is the cause why Ioshua circumcised all the people, euen the males that came out of Egypt, because all the men of warre were dead in the wildernesse by the way after they came out of Egypt.
若蘇厄行割損的原因，是因為由埃及出來的眾，所有能作戰的男子，出埃及後，都死在曠野的路上。
5 For all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were borne in the wildernes by the way after they came out of Egypt, were not circumcised.
出離埃及的百姓，都受過割損，但在離開埃及以後，生於曠野路途的百姓，都沒有受過割損。
6 For the children of Israel walked fourtie yeres in the wildernes, till all the people of the men of warre that came out of Egypt were consumed, because they obeyed not the voyce of the Lord: vnto whome the Lord sware, that he would not shewe them the lande, which the Lord had sworne vnto their fathers, that he would giue vs, euen a land that floweth with milke and hony.
以色列百姓在曠野裏漂泊了四十年，直到全民眾，即出離埃及能作的男子都去了世，因為他們沒有聽從上主的話，所以上主曾向他們起誓，決不讓他們看到上主向他們的祖先起誓，要賜給我們的那流奶流蜜的地方。
7 So their sonnes whome he raysed vp in their steade, Ioshua circumcised: for they were vncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the way.
但為接替他們，上主興起了他們的子孫，就給他們行了割損，──他們仍有包皮，因為他們在路沒有受過割損。
8 And when they had made an ende of circumcising al the people, they abode in the places in the campe till they were whole.
民眾全受了割損以後，便往在營中，直到痊愈。
9 After, the Lord said vnto Ioshua, This day I haue taken away the shame of Egypt from you: wherefore he called the name of that place Gilgal, vnto this day.
上主於是對若蘇厄說：「今天我由你們割去了埃及的羞恥。」於是，那地方直到今天叫作基耳加耳。
10 So the children of Israel abode in Gilgal, and kept ye feast of the Passeouer the fourteenth day of the moneth at euen in ye plaine of Iericho.
以色列子民在基耳加耳紮了營；正月十四日晚上，在耶利哥平原舉行了逾越節。
11 And they did eat of the corne of the land, on the morow after the Passeouer, vnleauened breade, and parched corne in the same day.
逾越節次日，他們吃了當地的出產，即在那一天，吃了無酵餅和烤的麥子。
12 And the MAN ceased on the morowe after they had eaten of the corne of the land, neither had the children of Israel MAN any more, but did eate of the fruite of the land of Canaan that yeere.
他們吃了當地出產的次日，「瑪納」就停止了。以色列子民既沒有了「瑪納」，那年就以客納罕地的出產為生。
13 And when Ioshua was by Iericho, he lift vp his eyes and looked: and behold, there stood a man against him, hauing a sword drawen in his hand: and Ioshua went vnto him, and said vnto him, Art thou on our side, or on our aduersaries?
當若蘇厄走近耶利哥時，舉目一望，看見一個人立在他前面，手拿脫鞘的刀。若蘇厄走近那人面前問他說：「你是我們的人，還是我們仇敵的人﹖」
14 And he said, Nay, but as a captaine of the host of the Lord am I nowe come: then Ioshua fel on his face to the earth, and did worship, and saide vnto him, What sayth my Lord vnto his seruant?
那人回答說：「不，我是上主軍旅的元帥，剛來到這裏。」若蘇厄便俯伏在地，向他下拜說：「我主有什麼事要指示自己的僕人呢﹖」
15 And the captaine of ye Lords host said vnto Ioshua, Loose thy shoe of thy foote: for ye place wheron thou standest, is holy: and Ioshua did so.
上主軍旅的元帥對若蘇厄說：「將你腳上鞋脫下，因為你站的地方是聖地。」若蘇厄便照著做了。
