< 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.
Pagkarinig ng lahat ng hari ng mga Amoreo sa kanlurang dako ng Jordan, at lahat ng hari ng mga Cananaeo, na nasa baybayin ng Malaking Dagat, na pinatuyo ni Yahweh ang tubig sa Jordan hanggang nakatawid ang bayan ng Israel, natunaw ang kanilang mga puso, at walang anumang espiritu sa kanila dahil sa mga Israelita.
2 At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
Sa panahong iyon sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Gumawa ka ng mga kutsilyo mula sa matigas na bato at tuliin minsan pa ang lahat ng lalaki ng Israel.”
3 And Joshua made himself sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of 'Araloth.
Pagkatapos gumawa mismo si Josue ng mga kutsilyo mula sa matigas na bato at tinuli ang lahat ng lalaki ng Israel sa Gibeat Haaralot.
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.
At ito ang dahilan na tinuli sila ni Josue: lahat ng lalaking lumabas sa Ehipto, kasama ang lahat ng kalalakihang mandirigma, ay namatay sa ilang habang daan, pagkatapos nilang lumabas sa Ehipto.
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.
Kahit tinuli na ang lahat ng lalaking lumabas sa Ehipto, gayon man, walang batang lalaking ipinanganak sa ilang habang daang palabas ng Ehipto ay tinuli.
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.
Naglakbay ang bayan ng Israel sa loob ng apatnapung taon sa ilang hanggang ang lahat ng tao, iyon ay, lahat ng kalalakihang mandirigma na nakalabas sa Ehipto ay namatay, dahil hindi nila sinunod ang tinig ni Yahweh. Ipinangako ni Yahweh sa kanila na hindi niya sila hahayaang makita ang lupaing ipinangako niya sa kanilang mga ninuno na ibibigay sa amin, isang lupaing umaapaw ang gatas at pulot.
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.
Ang kanilang mga anak na inalagaan ni Yahweh kapalit nila na silang tinuli ni Josue, dahil hindi pa sila tinuli sa daan.
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.
Nang tinuli silang lahat, nanatili sila sa kampo kung saan sila naroroon hanggang gumaling sila.
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.
At sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Sa araw na ito inalis ko ang kahihiyan ng Ehipto mula sa inyo.” Kaya tinawag ang lugar na iyon sa pangalang Gilgal hanggang sa araw na ito.
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.
Nagkampo ang bayan ng Israel sa Gilgal. Ipinagdiwang nila ang Paskua sa ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan, sa gabi, sa mga kapatagan ng Jerico.
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.
At kinabukasan ng Paskua, sa araw mismong iyon, kinain nila ang ilan sa bunga ng lupain, tinapay na walang lebadura, at inihaw na butil.
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.
Tumigil ang manna sa araw matapos nilang kainin ang bunga ng lupain. Wala ng manna para sa bayan ng Israel, pero kinain nila ang bunga ng lupain ng Canaan sa taong iyon.
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?
Nang malapit na si Josue sa Jerico, tumingala siya at nakita, at masdan ito, isang lalaki ang nakatayo sa kaniyang harapan; hinugot niya ang kaniyang espada at ito at nasa kamay niya. Lumapit si Josue sa kaniya at sinabing, “Ikaw ba ay sa amin o para sa aming kaaway?”
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?
Sinabi niya, “Wala sa alinman. Dahil ako ang pinuno ng hukbo ni Yahweh. Ngayon naparito ako.” Pagkatapos nagpatirapa si Josue sa lupa para sumamba at sinabi sa kaniya, “Ano ang sinasabi ng aking panginoon sa kaniyang lingkod?”
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.
Sinabi ng pinununo ng hukbo ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Hubarin mo ang iyong sandalyas mula sa iyong mga paa, dahil banal ang lugar na iyong kinatatayuan.” At ginawa iyon ni Josue.
