Yosua 5
1 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.
Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel.
2 Pada waktu itu TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Buatlah pisau dari batu, lalu adakanlah lagi upacara penyunatan untuk orang-orang Israel."
At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
3 Maka Yosua melaksanakan perintah TUHAN, dan menyunat orang-orang Israel di tempat yang dinamakan Bukit Penyunatan.
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.
4 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.
Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.
Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,
Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Itulah sebabnya semua anak lelaki mereka belum disunat. Generasi baru inilah yang disunat oleh Yosua.
The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way.
8 Sesudah mereka semua selesai disunat, mereka tinggal di perkemahan sampai luka mereka sembuh.
Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.
9 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.
And the Lord said to Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present day.
10 Sementara berkemah di Gilgal di dataran dekat Yerikho, umat Israel merayakan Paskah pada sore hari tanggal empat belas bulan itu.
And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho:
11 Besoknya, untuk pertama kalinya mereka makan makanan hasil negeri Kanaan, yaitu: roti tidak beragi dan gandum panggang.
And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.
12 Pada hari itu juga manna tidak lagi jatuh dari langit, dan orang Israel berhenti makan manna. Sejak itu mereka makan hasil tanah Kanaan.
And the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan.
13 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?"
And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries?
14 "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?"
And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come. Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord to his servant?
15 Panglima tentara TUHAN itu menjawab, "Buka sepatumu; tanah tempat kau berdiri itu adalah tanah suci." Maka Yosua membuka sepatunya.
Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
