Joshua 5
1 And it cometh to pass when all the kings of the Amorite which [are] beyond the Jordan, towards the sea, and all the kings of the Canaanite which [are] by the sea, hear how that Jehovah hath dried up the waters of the Jordan at the presence of the sons of Israel till their passing over, that their heart is melted, and there hath not been in them any more spirit because of the presence of the sons of Israel.
Men da alle Amoriterkongerne vesten for Jordan og alle Kana'anæerkongerne ved Havet hørte, at HERREN havde ladet Jordans Vand tørre bort foran Israeliterne, indtil de var gået over, blev de slaget af Rædsel og tabte Modet over for Israeliterne.
2 At that time said Jehovah unto Joshua, 'Make for thee knives of flint, and turn back, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time;'
På den Tid sagde HERREN til Josua: "Lav dig Stenknive og omskær på ny Israeliterne!"
3 and Joshua maketh for him knives of flint, and circumciseth the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins.
Da lavede Josua sig Stenknive og omskar Israeliterne ved Forhudshøjen.
4 And this [is] the thing [for] which Joshua circumciseth [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 var Grunden til, at Josua omskar dem: Alt Mandkøn af Folket, som drog ud af Ægypten, alle våbenføre Mænd, var døde undervejs i Ørkenen, efter at de var draget 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;
Hele Folket, som drog ud, havde nok været omskåret, men af det Folk, som var født i Ørkenen under Vandringen, efter at de var draget ud af Ægypten, var ingen blevet omskåret;
6 for forty years have the sons of Israel gone in the wilderness, till all the nation of the men of war who are coming out of Egypt, who hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah, to whom Jehovah hath sworn not to show them the land which Jehovah sware to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey, are consumed;
thi i fyrretyve År havde Israeliterne vandret i Ørkenen, indtil hele Folket, de våbenføre Mænd, som var draget ud af Ægypten, var døde, fordi de ikke havde adlydt HERRENs Røst, hvorfor HERREN havde svoret, at han ikke vilde lade dem se det Land, HERREN havde tilsvoret deres Fædre at ville give os, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.
7 and their sons He raised up in their stead, them hath Joshua circumcised, for they have been uncircumcised, for they have not circumcised them in the way.
Men deres Børn, som han havde ladet træde i deres Sted, dem omskar Josua; thi de var uomskårne, eftersom de ikke var blevet omskåret under Vandringen.
8 And it cometh to pass when all the nation have completed to be circumcised, that they abide in their places in the camp till their recovering;
Da så hele Folket var blevet omskåret, holdt de sig i Ro, hvor de var i Lejren, indtil de kom sig.
9 and Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'To-day I have rolled the reproach of Egypt from off you;' and [one] calleth the name of that place Gilgal unto this day.
Men HERREN sagde til Josua: "I Dag har jeg bortvæltet Ægypternes Forsmædelse fra eder." Og han kaldte dette Sted Gilgal, som det hedder den Dag i 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;
Medens Israeliterne lå i Lejr i Gilgal, fejrede de Påsken om Aftenen den fjortende Dag i Måneden på Jerikos Sletter;
11 and they eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow of the passover, unleavened things and roasted [corn], in this self-same day;
og Dagen efter Påsken spiste de af Landets Afgrøde, usyrede Brød og ristet Korn;
12 and the manna doth cease on the morrow in their eating of the old corn of the land, and there hath been no more manna to the sons of Israel, and they eat of the increase of the land of Canaan in that year.
selv samme Dag hørte Mannaen op, da de nu spiste af Landets Afgrøde; Israeliterne fik ikke Manna mer, men spiste det År af Høsten i Kana'ans Land.
13 And it cometh to pass in Joshua's being by Jericho, that he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, one standing over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua goeth unto him, and saith to him, 'Art thou for us or for our adversaries?'
Og det skete, medens Josua opholdt sig ved Jeriko, at han så op og fik Øje på en Mand, som stod foran ham med draget Sværd i Hånden. Josua gik da hen til ham og sagde: "Er du en af vore eller en af vore Fjender?"
14 And He saith, 'No, for I [am] Prince of Jehovah's host; now I have come;' and Joshua falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith to Him, 'What is my Lord speaking unto His servant?'
Han svarede: "Ingen af Delene, jeg er Fyrsten over HERRENs Hær; lige nu er jeg kommet!" Da faldt Josua til Jorden på sit Ansigt og tilbad og sagde til ham: "Hvad har min Herre at sige sin Tjener?"
15 And the Prince of Jehovah's host saith unto Joshua, 'Cast off thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou art standing is holy;' and Joshua doth so;
Og Fyrsten over HERRENs Hær svarede Josua: "Drag dine Sko af Fødderne, thi det Sted, du står på, er helligt!" Det gjorde Josua.
