< Yosua 5 >

1 Ketika semua raja orang Amori di sebelah barat sungai Yordan dan semua raja orang Kanaan di tepi laut mendengar, bahwa TUHAN telah mengeringkan air sungai Yordan di depan orang Israel, sampai mereka dapat menyeberang, tawarlah hati mereka dan hilanglah semangat mereka menghadapi orang Israel itu.
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 berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yosua: "Buatlah pisau dari batu dan sunatlah lagi orang Israel itu, untuk kedua kalinya."
At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
3 Lalu Yosua membuat pisau dari batu dan disunatnyalah orang Israel itu di Bukit Kulit Khatan.
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.
4 Inilah sebabnya Yosua menyunat mereka: semua orang yang keluar dari Mesir, yakni yang laki-laki, semua prajurit, telah mati di padang gurun di tengah jalan, setelah mereka keluar dari Mesir.
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.
5 Sebab, semua orang yang keluar dari Mesir itu telah bersunat, tetapi semua orang yang lahir di padang gurun dalam perjalanan sejak keluar dari Mesir, belum disunat.
Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,
6 Sebab empat puluh tahun lamanya orang Israel itu berjalan melalui padang gurun, sampai habis mati seluruh bangsa itu, yakni prajurit yang keluar dari Mesir, yang tidak mendengarkan firman TUHAN. Kepada mereka itu TUHAN telah bersumpah, bahwa Ia tidak akan mengizinkan mereka melihat negeri yang dijanjikan TUHAN dengan bersumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka akan memberikannya kepada kita, suatu negeri yang berlimpah-limpah susu dan madunya.
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 Tetapi anak-anak mereka yang telah dijadikan-Nya ganti mereka, mereka itulah yang disunat Yosua, sebab mereka belum bersunat, karena mereka tidak disunat dalam perjalanan.
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 Setelah seluruh bangsa itu selesai disunat, maka tinggallah mereka di tempatnya masing-masing di perkemahan itu, sampai mereka sembuh.
Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.
9 Dan berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yosua: "Hari ini telah Kuhapuskan cela Mesir itu dari padamu." Itulah sebabnya nama tempat itu disebut Gilgal sampai sekarang.
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, orang Israel itu merayakan Paskah pada hari yang keempat belas bulan itu, pada waktu petang, di dataran Yerikho.
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 Lalu pada hari sesudah Paskah mereka makan hasil negeri itu, yakni roti yang tidak beragi dan bertih gandum, pada hari itu juga.
And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.
12 Lalu berhentilah manna itu, pada keesokan harinya setelah mereka makan hasil negeri itu. Jadi orang Israel tidak beroleh manna lagi, tetapi dalam tahun itu mereka makan yang dihasilkan 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 Ketika Yosua dekat Yerikho, ia melayangkan pandangnya, dilihatnya seorang laki-laki berdiri di depannya dengan pedang terhunus di tangannya. Yosua mendekatinya dan bertanya kepadanya: "Kawankah engkau 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 Jawabnya: "Bukan, tetapi akulah Panglima Balatentara TUHAN. Sekarang aku datang." Lalu sujudlah Yosua dengan mukanya ke tanah, menyembah dan berkata kepadanya: "Apakah yang akan dikatakan tuanku kepada hambanya ini?"
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 Dan Panglima Balatentara TUHAN itu berkata kepada Yosua: "Tanggalkanlah kasutmu dari kakimu, sebab tempat engkau berdiri itu kudus." Dan Yosua berbuat demikian.
Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
