Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Emorites, who were on the side of the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they were passed over, that their heart melted, and there remained no more any courage in them, because of the children of Israel.
Alle amoritarkongarne vestanfor Jordan og alle kananitarkongarne utmed havet vart so rædde at dei reint vilde uvita då det spurdest at Herren hadde turka ut Jordan for Israels-folket medan dei for yver, og dei hadde ingen hug meir til å taka att med Israels-sønerne.
2 At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
I det same bilet sagde Herren til Josva: «Gjer deg steinknivar og umskjer Israels-sønerne att!»
3 And Joshua made himself sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of 'Araloth.
So gjorde Josva seg steinknivar og umskar Israels-sønerne på ein haug som sidan vert kalla Huvudhaugen.
4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness on the way, after their going forth out of Egypt.
Men at Josva laut umskjera deim, det hadde seg so: Alt folket som for frå Egyptarland, alle karar, alle våpnføre menner, hadde døytt burt i øydemarki på vegen frå Egyptarland.
5 For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way at their going forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.
No var alle dei som for frå Egyptarland umskorne, men av deim som vart fødde på ferdi i øydemarki, var ingen umskoren.
6 For during forty years the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness, till there was an end of all the people, the men of war, who were come out of Egypt, who had not obeyed the voice of the Lord; unto whom the Lord had sworn that he would not let them see the land, which the Lord had sworn unto their fathers that he would give unto us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
For i fyrti år laut Israels-sønerne ferdast i øydemarki, til dess heile folket, alle våpnføre menner som for frå Egyptarland, var daude og burte; dei vilde ikkje lyda Herrens ord, difor svor han deim til at dei ikkje skulde få sjå det landet han hadde lova federne deira å gjeva oss, eit land som fløymer med mjølk og honning.
7 But their children he raised up in their stead: these did Joshua circumcise; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
Men i staden for deim let han borni deira veksa upp; deim var det Josva umskar; for dei gjekk endå med huvehold, av di dei ikkje hadde vorte umskorne på ferdi.
8 And it came to pass, when the whole people had all been circumcised, that they abode in their places in the camp till they were healed.
Då dette var frå seg gjort, og heile folket var umskore, heldt dei seg i ro i lægret til såri hadde batna.
9 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And he called the name of the place Gilgal unto this day.
Og Herren sagde til Josva: «I dag hev eg velt av dykk egyptarskammi.» Sidan hev den staden vore kalla Gilgal alt til denne dag.
10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and they prepared the passover-offering on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
Medan Israels-sønerne låg i læger attmed Gilgal, heldt dei påske på Jerikomoarne den fjortande dagen i månaden, um kvelden.
11 And they ate of the corn of the land on the morrow after the passover-offering, unleavened cakes and parched corn, on the selfsame day.
Og dagen etter påske åt dei av landsens grøda; usyrt brød og steikte aks åt dei den dagen.
12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the corn of the land; and the children of Israel had not any more manna; but they did eat of the product of the land of Canaan during that year.
Same dagen traut manna; for no åt Israels-folket av landsens grøda, og sidan fekk dei ikkje meir manna, men tok same året til å eta av det som var avla i Kana’ans-landet.
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, a man was standing over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went unto him, and said to him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
Då Josva var innmed Jeriko, hende det honom noko: Best som han lyfte upp augo, vart han var ein mann som stod beint framfyre honom med eit drege sverd i handi. Då gjekk Josva burt til mannen og sagde: «Er du av våre folk, eller høyrer du til fienden?»
14 And he said, No; for I am a captain of the host of the Lord: now am I come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed himself, and said to him, What doth my lord speak unto his servant?
«Nei», svara han, «eg er hovdingen yver Herrens her. No er eg komen.» Josva fall på kne og bøygde seg til jordi og sagde: «Kva hev herren min å segja tenaren sin?»
15 And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
Då svara hovdingen yver Herrens her: «Drag skoen av foten din! for den staden du stend på, er heilag.» Og Josva gjorde so.
