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.
As soon as all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were along the coast of the Great Sea, heard that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan until the people of Israel had crossed over, their hearts melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people 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 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and once more circumcise all the males of Israel.”
3 Maka Yosua melaksanakan perintah TUHAN, dan menyunat orang-orang Israel di tempat yang dinamakan Bukit Penyunatan.
Then Joshua made himself flint knives and he circumcised all the males of Israel at Gibeath Haaraloth.
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.
This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: All the males who had come out of Egypt, including all the men of war, had died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out from Egypt.
Though all the males who came out of Egypt were circumcised, still, none of the boys born in the wilderness on the way out of Egypt had been circumcised.
For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the people, that is, all the men of war who had come out of Egypt, died, because they did not obey the voice of Yahweh. Yahweh swore to them that he would not let them see the land that he had sworn to their ancestors that he would give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Itulah sebabnya semua anak lelaki mereka belum disunat. Generasi baru inilah yang disunat oleh Yosua.
It was their children that Yahweh raised up in their place that Joshua circumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 Sesudah mereka semua selesai disunat, mereka tinggal di perkemahan sampai luka mereka sembuh.
When they were all circumcised, they remained where they were in the camp until they 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.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” So, the name of that place has been called Gilgal 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.
The people of Israel camped at Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, on the plains of Jericho.
11 Besoknya, untuk pertama kalinya mereka makan makanan hasil negeri Kanaan, yaitu: roti tidak beragi dan gandum panggang.
On the day after Passover, that same day, they ate some of the produce of the land on the day, unleavened bread and roasted grain.
12 Pada hari itu juga manna tidak lagi jatuh dari langit, dan orang Israel berhenti makan manna. Sejak itu mereka makan hasil tanah Kanaan.
The manna stopped on the day after they ate the produce of the land. There was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate the produce of the land of Canaan 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?"
When Joshua was near Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing in front of him; he had drawn his sword and it was in his hand. Joshua went to him and said, “Are you for us or for 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?"
He said, “Neither. For I am the commander of the army of Yahweh. Now I have come.” Then Joshua lay facedown on the ground to worship and said to him, “What does my master say to his servant?”
15 Panglima tentara TUHAN itu menjawab, "Buka sepatumu; tanah tempat kau berdiri itu adalah tanah suci." Maka Yosua membuka sepatunya.
The commander of Yahweh's army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, because the place you are standing is holy.” That is what Joshua did.
