< 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
When all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
2 eo tempore ait Dominus ad Iosue fac tibi cultros lapideos et circumcide secundo filios Israhel
At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
3 fecit quod iusserat Dominus et circumcidit filios Israhel in colle Praeputiorum
Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the 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
This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 qui omnes circumcisi erant populus autem qui natus est in deserto
For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
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
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, 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
Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
8 postquam autem omnes circumcisi sunt manserunt in eodem castrorum loco donec sanarentur
When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
9 dixitque Dominus ad Iosue hodie abstuli obprobrium Aegypti a vobis vocatumque est nomen loci illius Galgala usque in praesentem diem
The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.
10 manseruntque filii Israhel in Galgalis et fecerunt phase quartadecima die mensis ad vesperum in campestribus Hiericho
The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
11 et comederunt de frugibus terrae die altero azymos panes et pulentam eiusdem anni
They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
12 defecitque manna postquam comederunt de frugibus terrae nec usi sunt ultra illo cibo filii Israhel sed comederunt de frugibus praesentis anni terrae Chanaan
The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan 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
When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for 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
He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of the LORD’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
15 solve inquit calciamentum de pedibus tuis locus enim in quo stas sanctus est fecitque Iosue ut sibi fuerat imperatum
The prince of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
