Iosue 5

1 postquam ergo audierunt omnes reges Amorreorum qui habitabant trans Iordanem ad occidentalem plagam et cuncti reges Chanaan qui propinqua possidebant Magno mari loca quod siccasset Dominus fluenta Iordanis coram filiis Israhel donec transirent dissolutum est cor eorum et non remansit in eis spiritus timentium introitum filiorum Israhel

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 eo tempore ait Dominus ad Iosue fac tibi cultros lapideos et circumcide secundo filios Israhel

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 fecit quod iusserat Dominus et circumcidit filios Israhel in colle Praeputiorum

And Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the “Hill of Foreskins.”

4 haec autem causa est secundae circumcisionis omnis populus qui egressus est ex Aegypto generis masculini universi bellatores viri mortui sunt in deserto per longissimos viae circuitus

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,

5 qui omnes circumcisi erant populus autem qui natus est in deserto

all these Joshua circumcised; for forty and two years Israel wondered in the wilderness of Mabdaris—

6 per quadraginta annos itineris latissimae solitudinis incircumcisus fuit donec consumerentur qui non audierant vocem Domini et quibus ante iuraverat ut ostenderet eis terram lacte et melle manantem

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 horum filii in locum successerunt patrum et circumcisi sunt ab Iosue quia sicut nati fuerant in praeputio erant nec eos in via aliquis circumciderat

And in their place he raised up their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised, having been born by the way.

8 postquam autem omnes circumcisi sunt manserunt in eodem castrorum loco donec sanarentur

And when they had been circumcised they rested continuing there in the camp till they were healed.

9 dixitque Dominus ad Iosue hodie abstuli obprobrium Aegypti a vobis vocatumque est nomen loci illius Galgala usque in praesentem diem

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 manseruntque filii Israhel in Galgalis et fecerunt phase quartadecima die mensis ad vesperum in campestribus Hiericho

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 et comederunt de frugibus terrae die altero azymos panes et pulentam eiusdem anni

And they ate of the grain of the earth unleavened and new [corn].

12 defecitque manna postquam comederunt de frugibus terrae nec usi sunt ultra illo cibo filii Israhel sed comederunt de frugibus praesentis anni terrae Chanaan

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 cum autem esset Iosue in agro urbis Hiericho levavit oculos et vidit virum stantem contra se et evaginatum tenentem gladium perrexitque ad eum et ait noster es an adversariorum

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 qui respondit nequaquam sed sum princeps exercitus Domini et nunc venio cecidit Iosue pronus in terram et adorans ait quid dominus meus loquitur ad servum suum

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 solve inquit calciamentum de pedibus tuis locus enim in quo stas sanctus est fecitque Iosue ut sibi fuerat imperatum

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.
