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.
Semua raja Amori di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan, dan semua raja Kanaan di pesisir Laut Tengah mendengar bahwa Sungai Yordan telah dikeringkan oleh TUHAN selama umat Israel menyeberangi sungai itu. Maka mereka menjadi takut dan gentar karena orang Israel.
2 At that time YHWH said to Joshua, “Make knives of flint for yourself, and return, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time”;
Pada waktu itu TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Buatlah pisau dari batu, lalu adakanlah lagi upacara penyunatan untuk orang-orang Israel."
3 and Joshua makes knives of flint for himself, and circumcises the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins.
Maka Yosua melaksanakan perintah TUHAN, dan menyunat orang-orang Israel di tempat yang dinamakan Bukit Penyunatan.
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,
Pada waktu orang-orang Israel keluar dari Mesir, semua orang laki-lakinya sudah disunat. Tetapi ketika mereka mengembara di padang pasir empat puluh tahun lamanya, anak-anak mereka yang laki-laki seorang pun belum ada yang disunat. Dan pada akhir masa empat puluh tahun itu, orang laki-laki yang ketika keluar dari Mesir telah mencapai umur yang patut untuk masuk tentara, semuanya sudah mati, karena tidak menurut perintah TUHAN. Maka sesuai dengan sumpah TUHAN, mereka tidak diizinkan melihat negeri yang makmur dan subur itu yang dijanjikan-Nya kepada nenek moyang mereka.
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;
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;
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.
Itulah sebabnya semua anak lelaki mereka belum disunat. Generasi baru inilah yang disunat oleh Yosua.
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;
Sesudah mereka semua selesai disunat, mereka tinggal di perkemahan sampai luka mereka sembuh.
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.
TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Hari ini kehinaan kalian sebagai budak-budak di Mesir sudah Kulenyapkan." Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamakan Gilgal sampai pada saat ini.
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;
Sementara berkemah di Gilgal di dataran dekat Yerikho, umat Israel merayakan Paskah pada sore hari tanggal empat belas bulan itu.
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;
Besoknya, untuk pertama kalinya mereka makan makanan hasil negeri Kanaan, yaitu: roti tidak beragi dan gandum panggang.
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.
Pada hari itu juga manna tidak lagi jatuh dari langit, dan orang Israel berhenti makan manna. Sejak itu mereka makan hasil tanah Kanaan.
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?”
Pada suatu waktu Yosua berada di dekat Yerikho. Tiba-tiba ia melihat seorang laki-laki berdiri di depannya dengan pedang terhunus. Yosua mendekati orang itu, dan bertanya, "Engkau ini kawan, atau lawan?"
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?”
"Bukan kawan, dan juga bukan lawan," jawab orang itu. "Aku datang ke sini sebagai panglima tentara TUHAN." Mendengar itu Yosua segera sujud menyembah orang itu. Yosua berkata, "Saya ini hamba Tuan. Apa yang dapat saya lakukan untuk Tuan?"
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.
Panglima tentara TUHAN itu menjawab, "Buka sepatumu; tanah tempat kau berdiri itu adalah tanah suci." Maka Yosua membuka sepatunya.
