Joshua 5
1 And it comes to pass, when all the kings of the Amorite which [are] beyond the Jordan, toward the sea, and all the kings of the Canaanite which [are] by the sea, hear how that YHWH has dried up the waters of the Jordan at the presence of the sons of Israel until their passing over, that their heart is melted, and there has not been anymore spirit in them because of the presence of the sons 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 At that time YHWH said to Joshua, “Make knives of flint for yourself, and return, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time”;
Paa den Tid sagde Herren til Josva: Gør dig Stenknive og omskær Israels Børn igen anden Gang.
3 and Joshua makes knives of flint for himself, and circumcises the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins.
Da gjorde Josva sig Stenknive og omskar Israels Børn ved Araloths Høj.
4 And this [is] the thing [for] which Joshua circumcises [them]: all the people who are coming out of Egypt, who are males, all the men of war have died in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming 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 who are coming out were circumcised, and all the people who [are] born in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out from Egypt, they have 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 forty years the sons of Israel have gone in the wilderness, until all the nation of the men of war who are coming out of Egypt, who did not listen to the voice of YHWH, to whom YHWH has sworn not to show them the land which YHWH swore to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey, are consumed;
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 and He raised up their sons in their stead, Joshua has circumcised them, for they have been uncircumcised, for they have not circumcised them in 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 it comes to pass, when all the nation has completed to be circumcised, that they abide in their places in the camp until their recovering;
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 and YHWH says to Joshua, “Today I have rolled the reproach of Egypt from off you”; and [one] calls the name of that place Gilgal to 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 And the sons of Israel encamp in Gilgal, and make the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho;
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 eat of the old grain of the land on the next day of the Passover, unleavened things and roasted [grain], on this very same day;
Og de aade af Landets Grøde fra anden Paaskedag, nemlig usyrede Brød og ristede Aks, paa selvsamme Dag.
12 and the manna ceases on the next day in their eating of the old grain of the land, and there has been no more manna for [the] sons of Israel, and they eat of the increase of the land of Canaan in that year.
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 it comes to pass in Joshua’s being by Jericho, that he lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, [there is] one standing in front of him, and his drawn sword [is] in his hand, and Joshua goes to him, and says to him, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?”
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 says, “No, for I [am] Prince of YHWH’s host; now I have come”; and Joshua falls on his face to the earth, and pays respect, and says to Him, “What is my Lord speaking to His servant?”
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 Prince of YHWH’s host says to Joshua, “Cast off your shoe from off your foot, for the place on which you are standing is holy”; and Joshua does 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.
