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.
Og det skete, der alle Amoriternes Konger, som boede paa hin Side Jordanen imod Vesten, og alle Kananiternes Konger, som boede ved Havet, hørte, at Herren havde udtørret Jordanens Vande for Israels Børns Ansigt, indtil de kom over, da blev deres Hjerte mistrøstigt, og der var ikke ydermere Mod i dem for Israels Børns Ansigt.
2 That same time the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Make thee sharpe kniues, and returne, and circumcise the sonnes of Israel the second time.
Paa den Tid sagde Herren til Josva: Gør dig Stenknive og omskær Israels Børn igen anden Gang.
3 Then Ioshua made him sharpe kniues and circumcised the sonnes of Israel in the hill of the foreskinnes.
Da gjorde Josva sig Stenknive og omskar Israels Børn ved Araloths Høj.
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.
Og dette er Sagen, hvorfor Josva omskar dem: Alt Folket af Mandkøn, som var udgaaet af Ægypten, alt Krigsfolket var død i Ørken paa Vejen, siden de gik ud af Ægypten.
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.
Thi alt Folket, som udgik, var omskaaret; men alt Folket, som var født i Ørken paa Vejen, siden de udgik af Ægypten, havde de ikke omskaaret.
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.
Thi Israels Børn vandrede fyrretyve Aar i Ørken, indtil alt det Folk, Krigsfolket, som udgik af Ægypten, var uddød, de som ikke havde hørt Herrens Røst, saa at Herren svor dem, at han ikke vilde lade dem se det Land, som Herren havde tilsvoret deres Fædre at give os, et Land, som flyder med Mælk og Honning.
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.
Og han oprejste deres Børn i deres Sted; dem omskar Josva, thi de havde Forhud, eftersom man ikke havde omskaaret dem paa Vejen.
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.
Og det skete, der de vare færdige med at omskære alt Folket, da bleve de paa deres Sted i Lejren, indtil de bleve karske.
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.
Og Herren sagde til Josva: I Dag har jeg afvæltet Ægyptens Skændsel fra eder; og man kaldte samme Steds Navn Gilgal indtil denne Dag.
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.
Og Israels Børn lejrede sig i Gilgal, og de holdt Paaske den fjortende Dag i Maaneden om Aftenen, paa Jerikos slette Marker.
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.
Og de aade af Landets Grøde fra anden Paaskedag, nemlig usyrede Brød og ristede Aks, paa selvsamme Dag.
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.
Saa holdt Mannaen op, anden Dag efter at de havde ædt af Landets Grøde, og Israels Børn havde ikke ydermere Manna; men de aade af Kanaans Lands nye Grøde i samme Aar.
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?
Og det skete, der Josva var ved Jeriko, at han opløftede sine Øjne og saa, og se, en Mand stod lige imod ham og havde sit dragne Sværd i sin Haand; og Josva gik til ham og sagde til ham: Hører du os til eller vore Fjender?
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?
Og han sagde: Nej! men jeg er en Fyrste over Herrens Hær, nu kom jeg! Da faldt Josva paa sit Ansigt til Jorden og tilbad og sagde til ham: Hvad taler min Herre til sin Tjener?
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.
Og Fyrsten over Herrens Hær sagde til Josva: Drag din Sko af din Fod, thi det Sted, som du staar paa, det er helligt; og Josva gjorde saa.
