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.
Ketika semua raja bangsa Amori di sebelah barat sungai Yordan dan semua raja bangsa Kanaan di pesisir Laut Tengah, mendengar bahwa TUHAN sudah mengeringkan sungai Yordan supaya bangsa Israel bisa menyeberang, mereka sangat ketakutan dan keberanian mereka pun lenyap.
2 At that time YHWH said to Joshua, “Make knives of flint for yourself, and return, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time”;
Saat itu TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, “Buatlah beberapa pisau dari batu keras dan sunatilah semua laki-laki Israel yang belum disunat.”
3 and Joshua makes knives of flint for himself, and circumcises the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins.
Maka Yosua membuat beberapa pisau dari batu keras dan menyunat semua laki-laki Israel di Bukit Kulit Khatan.
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,
Inilah alasan Yosua harus menyunat mereka: Ketika bangsa Israel keluar dari Mesir, semua laki-laki sudah disunat. Namun, sesudah keluar dari Mesir, anak-anak yang dilahirkan dalam perjalanan mereka di padang belantara selama empat puluh tahun tidak disunat. Semua laki-laki yang sudah cukup umur untuk berperang ketika keluar dari Mesir sudah mati karena tidak taat kepada TUHAN, dan TUHAN bersumpah bahwa mereka tidak akan masuk ke negeri yang Dia janjikan kepada bangsa Israel, negeri yang berlimpah dengan hasil alam.
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.
Anak-anak merekalah yang akan menggantikan mereka. Dan Yosua menyunat generasi baru ini, sebab mereka belum disunat dalam perjalanan itu.
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 semua laki-laki disunat, mereka tetap tinggal di perkemahan sampai 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 Aku sudah menghapus kehinaan kalian sebagai budak di Mesir.” Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai Gilgal sampai kitab ini ditulis.
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 orang Israel berkemah di Gilgal, mereka merayakan Paskah pada malam keempat belas bulan itu di dataran Yeriko.
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;
Pada hari berikutnya mereka makan 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.
Sejak hari itu manna tidak ada lagi. Orang Israel berhenti makan manna dan mereka memakan makanan yang dihasilkan di negeri itu.
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?”
Suatu hari, ketika Yosua berada di dekat Yeriko, dia melihat seorang laki-laki berdiri di hadapannya dengan pedang di tangan. Yosua mendekati orang itu dan bertanya, “Apakah engkau 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?”
Dia menjawab, “Bukan keduanya! Sesungguhnya saya datang sebagai komandan pasukan TUHAN!” Mendengar itu, Yosua bersujud dan berkata, “Apa yang hendak Tuanku sampaikan kepada hambamu ini?”
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.
Komandan pasukan TUHAN itu menjawab, “Lepaskan kasutmu, karena kamu berdiri di tempat yang kudus.” Maka Yosua melepas kasutnya.
