< Joshua 5 >

1 All the kings of the people-groups to the west of the Jordan River and all the kings of the groups who were descendants of Canaan and who lived close to the [Mediterranean] Sea heard about how Yahweh had dried up the water of the Jordan [River] until all we Israeli people had crossed over. So they became very dismayed. They no longer were courageous enough to fight us.
Pripetilo se je, ko so vsi kralji Amoréjcev, ki so bili na zahodni strani Jordana in vsi kralji Kánaancev, ki so bili poleg morja, slišali, da je Gospod izpred Izraelovih otrok posušil vode Jordana, dokler nismo prešli čez, da se je njihovo srce stopilo niti ni bilo več tam v njih duha zaradi Izraelovih otrok.
2 While [they were camped at Gilgal], Yahweh said to Joshua, “[The Israeli males who lived in Egypt were circumcised before they left there. Now] make knives from flint stones and circumcise all the Israeli males [who have been born since then].”
Ob tistem času je Gospod rekel Józuetu: »Naredi si ostre nože in ponovno, drugič, obreži Izraelove otroke.«
3 So Joshua [made knives and] circumcised the Israeli males at a place that is now called ‘Circumcision Hill’.
Józue si je naredil ostre nože in Izraelove otroke obrezal na hribu prednjih kožic.
4 [The reason they did that is that all the men who left Egypt], those who were old enough to be soldiers, died in the desert after they left Egypt.
In to je razlog, zakaj je Józue obrezal. Vse ljudstvo, ki je prišlo iz Egipta, kar jih je bilo moških, torej vsi bojevniki, so umrli po poti v divjini, potem ko so prišli iz Egipta.
5 They had been circumcised in Egypt, but the baby boys who had been born while their parents were camping in the desert after they left Egypt had not been circumcised.
Torej vse ljudstvo, ki je izšlo, je bilo obrezano. Toda vsega ljudstva, ki je bilo rojeno po poti v divjini, ko so izšli iz Egipta, njih niso obrezali.
6 Our Israeli ancestors traveled around in the desert for 40 years, and all the men who were old enough to be soldiers had died. [The women had also died]. They had not obeyed Yahweh, so Yahweh said that they would not arrive at the land that he had promised to our ancestors that he would give to us, a land that was very fertile [MTY].
Kajti Izraelovi otroci so štirideset let hodili po divjini, dokler ni bilo vse ljudstvo, ki so bili bojevniki, ki so prišli iz Egipta, použito, ker niso ubogali Gospodovega glasu, katerim je Gospod prisegel, da jim ne bo pokazal dežele, ki jo je Gospod prisegel njihovim očetom, da nam jo bo dal, deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med.
7 The sons of those who had disobeyed Yahweh were the ones whom Joshua circumcised at Gilgal. They were circumcised because they had not been circumcised [while they were traveling in the desert].
Njihove otroke, ki jih je dvignil namesto njih, te je Józue obrezal, kajti bili so neobrezani, ker jih po poti niso obrezali.
8 After all the Israeli males had been circumcised, they remained in the camp and rested until their wounds were healed.
Pripetilo se je, ko so naredili obrezo vsega ljudstva, da so ostali na svojih prostorih v taboru, dokler niso okrevali.
9 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “[Because your forefathers were slaves in Egypt], the Egyptians felt a revulsion toward you. But today I have removed the revulsion the Egyptians have had toward you.” Because of that, the people called the place ‘Gilgal’, [which sounds like the Hebrew word ‘removed’, ] and it still has that name.
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Danes sem od tebe odvalil egiptovsko grajo.« Zaradi tega se ime kraja imenuje Gilgál do današnjega dne.
10 In the evening of the fourteenth day of that month, while the Israeli people were camped at Gilgal, on the plain near Jericho [city], they celebrated the Passover [Festival].
Izraelovi otroci so se utaborili v Gilgálu in na štirinajsti dan meseca zvečer praznovali pasho na ravninah Jerihe.
11 The next day, they found some barley grain in the fields in that area. So they took that and roasted it and ate it with bread that was made without yeast.
Naslednji dan po pashi so jedli od starega žita dežele, nekvašene kolače in praženo žito, na prav isti dan.
12 The next day, [God] stopped [sending] manna for the Israeli people to eat. After that, they ate food that was grown in Canaan.
Mana je prenehala naslednji dan, potem ko so jedli od starega žita dežele niti Izraelovi otroci niso imeli več mane, temveč so tisto leto jedli od sadov kánaanske dežele.
13 One day when Joshua came near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword in his hand. Joshua approached him and asked him, “Are you [going to fight] for us or against us?”
Pripetilo se je, ko je bil Józue pri Jerihi, da je povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, nasproti njega je stal mož z izvlečenim mečem v svoji roki. Józue je odšel k njemu ter mu rekel: » Ali si za nas ali za naše nasprotnike?«
14 The man replied, “I am not [planning to fight with you] or [against you]. Instead, I am the commander of Yahweh’s army [in heaven], and I have come [down from there to assure you that Yahweh will help you].” Then Joshua bowed down with his face on the ground (to show his respect for/to worship) the man, and said to him, “Tell me what [you want me to do].”
Odgovoril je: »Ne, temveč kot poveljnik Gospodove vojske; sedaj sem prišel.« Józue je padel na svoj obraz k zemlji in oboževal ter mu rekel: »Kaj pravi moj gospod svojemu služabniku?«
15 The commander of Yahweh’s army replied, “Take off your sandals! [I am Yahweh, and] the ground on which you are standing is holy because I am here.” So Joshua took off his sandals.
Poveljnik Gospodove vojske je Józuetu rekel: »Sezuj svoj čevelj s svojega stopala, kajti kraj, na katerem stojiš, je svet.« In Józue je storil tako.
