Josue 5
1 Pagkarinig ng lahat ng hari ng mga Amoreo sa kanlurang dako ng Jordan, at lahat ng hari ng mga Cananaeo, na nasa baybayin ng Malaking Dagat, na pinatuyo ni Yahweh ang tubig sa Jordan hanggang nakatawid ang bayan ng Israel, natunaw ang kanilang mga puso, at walang anumang espiritu sa kanila dahil sa mga Israelita.
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 Sa panahong iyon sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Gumawa ka ng mga kutsilyo mula sa matigas na bato at tuliin minsan pa ang lahat ng lalaki ng Israel.”
At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
3 Pagkatapos gumawa mismo si Josue ng mga kutsilyo mula sa matigas na bato at tinuli ang lahat ng lalaki ng Israel sa Gibeat Haaralot.
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.
4 At ito ang dahilan na tinuli sila ni Josue: lahat ng lalaking lumabas sa Ehipto, kasama ang lahat ng kalalakihang mandirigma, ay namatay sa ilang habang daan, pagkatapos nilang lumabas sa Ehipto.
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 Kahit tinuli na ang lahat ng lalaking lumabas sa Ehipto, gayon man, walang batang lalaking ipinanganak sa ilang habang daang palabas ng Ehipto ay tinuli.
Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,
6 Naglakbay ang bayan ng Israel sa loob ng apatnapung taon sa ilang hanggang ang lahat ng tao, iyon ay, lahat ng kalalakihang mandirigma na nakalabas sa Ehipto ay namatay, dahil hindi nila sinunod ang tinig ni Yahweh. Ipinangako ni Yahweh sa kanila na hindi niya sila hahayaang makita ang lupaing ipinangako niya sa kanilang mga ninuno na ibibigay sa amin, isang lupaing umaapaw ang gatas at pulot.
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 Ang kanilang mga anak na inalagaan ni Yahweh kapalit nila na silang tinuli ni Josue, dahil hindi pa sila tinuli sa daan.
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 Nang tinuli silang lahat, nanatili sila sa kampo kung saan sila naroroon hanggang gumaling sila.
Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.
9 At sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Sa araw na ito inalis ko ang kahihiyan ng Ehipto mula sa inyo.” Kaya tinawag ang lugar na iyon sa pangalang Gilgal hanggang sa araw na ito.
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 Nagkampo ang bayan ng Israel sa Gilgal. Ipinagdiwang nila ang Paskua sa ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan, sa gabi, sa mga kapatagan ng Jerico.
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 At kinabukasan ng Paskua, sa araw mismong iyon, kinain nila ang ilan sa bunga ng lupain, tinapay na walang lebadura, at inihaw na butil.
And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.
12 Tumigil ang manna sa araw matapos nilang kainin ang bunga ng lupain. Wala ng manna para sa bayan ng Israel, pero kinain nila ang bunga ng lupain ng Canaan sa taong iyon.
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 Nang malapit na si Josue sa Jerico, tumingala siya at nakita, at masdan ito, isang lalaki ang nakatayo sa kaniyang harapan; hinugot niya ang kaniyang espada at ito at nasa kamay niya. Lumapit si Josue sa kaniya at sinabing, “Ikaw ba ay sa amin o para sa aming kaaway?”
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 Sinabi niya, “Wala sa alinman. Dahil ako ang pinuno ng hukbo ni Yahweh. Ngayon naparito ako.” Pagkatapos nagpatirapa si Josue sa lupa para sumamba at sinabi sa kaniya, “Ano ang sinasabi ng aking panginoon sa kaniyang lingkod?”
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 Sinabi ng pinununo ng hukbo ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Hubarin mo ang iyong sandalyas mula sa iyong mga paa, dahil banal ang lugar na iyong kinatatayuan.” At ginawa iyon ni Josue.
Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
