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.
And it came to pass when the kings of the Amorites who were beyond Jordan heard, and the kings of Phoenicia by the sea, that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan from before the children of Israel when they passed over, that their hearts failed, and they were terror-stricken, and there was no sense in them because 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."
And about this time the Lord said to Joshua, Make you stone knives of sharp stone, and sit down and circumcise the children of Israel the second time.
3 Maka Yosua melaksanakan perintah TUHAN, dan menyunat orang-orang Israel di tempat yang dinamakan Bukit Penyunatan.
And Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the “Hill of 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.
And [this is] the way in which Joshua purified the children of Israel; as many as were born in the way, and as many as were uncircumcised of them that came out of Egypt,
all these Joshua circumcised; for forty and two years Israel wondered in the wilderness of Mabdaris—
Therefore most of the fighting men that came out of the land of Egypt, were uncircumcised, who disobeyed the commands of God; concerning whom also he determined that they should not see the land, which the Lord sware to give to their fathers, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Itulah sebabnya semua anak lelaki mereka belum disunat. Generasi baru inilah yang disunat oleh Yosua.
And in their place he raised up their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised, having been born by the way.
8 Sesudah mereka semua selesai disunat, mereka tinggal di perkemahan sampai luka mereka sembuh.
And when they had been circumcised they rested continuing there in the camp till 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 Joshua the son of Naue, On this day have I removed the reproach of Egypt from you: and he called the name of that place Galgala.
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 kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, to the westward of Jericho on the opposite side of the Jordan in the plain.
11 Besoknya, untuk pertama kalinya mereka makan makanan hasil negeri Kanaan, yaitu: roti tidak beragi dan gandum panggang.
And they ate of the grain of the earth unleavened and new [corn].
12 Pada hari itu juga manna tidak lagi jatuh dari langit, dan orang Israel berhenti makan manna. Sejak itu mereka makan hasil tanah Kanaan.
In this day the manna failed, after they had eaten of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel no longer had manna: and they took the fruits of the land of the Phoenicians in that year.
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 it came to pass when Joshua was in Jericho, that he looked up with his eyes and saw a man standing before him, and [there was] a drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua drew near and said to him, Are you for us or on the side of our enemies?
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 said to him, I am now come, the chief captain of the host of the Lord. And Joshua fell on his face upon the earth, and said to him, Lord, what command you your servant?
15 Panglima tentara TUHAN itu menjawab, "Buka sepatumu; tanah tempat kau berdiri itu adalah tanah suci." Maka Yosua membuka sepatunya.
And the captain of the Lord's host said to Joshua, Loose your shoe off your feet, for the place whereon you now stand is holy.
