¹A stalo sa, keď počuli všetci amorejskí kráľovia, ktorí boli za Jordánom, k moru, i všetci kananejskí kráľovia, ktorí boli pri mori, že Hospodin vysušil vody Jordána pred synmi Izraelovými, dokiaľ ho neprešli, ich srdce sa rozlialo jako voda, a nebolo v nich viacej ducha odvahy pred synmi Izraelovými.

¹And it cometh to pass when all the kings of the Amorite which [are] beyond the Jordan, towards the sea, and all the kings of the Canaanite which [are] by the sea, hear how that Jehovah hath dried up the waters of the Jordan at the presence of the sons of Israel till their passing over, that their heart is melted, and there hath not been in them any more spirit because of the presence of the sons of Israel.

²V tom čase povedal Hospodin Jozuovi: Narob si ostrých nožov a obrež zase synov Izraelových po druhé.

²At that time said Jehovah unto Joshua, `Make for thee knives of flint, and turn back, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time;`

³A Jozua si narobil ostrých nožov a obrezal synov Izraelových pri Gibeat-haarálot.

³and Joshua maketh for him knives of flint, and circumciseth the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins.

⁴A toto bola príčina, pre ktorú ich obrezal Jozua. Všetok ľud, ktorý vyšiel z Egypta, ktorí boli mužského pohlavia, všetci mužovia, súci do boja, pomreli na púšti, na ceste, keď vyšli z Egypta.

⁴And this [is] the thing [for] which Joshua circumciseth [them]: all the people who are coming out of Egypt, who are males, all the men of war have died in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out of Egypt,

⁵Lebo obrezaní boli všetci, všetok ľud, ktorí vyšli, ale nikoho zo všetkého ľudu, z tých, ktorí sa narodili na púšti, na ceste, keď už boli vyšli z Egypta, neboli obrezali.

⁵for all the people who are coming out were circumcised, and all the people who [are] born in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out from Egypt, they have not circumcised;

⁶Lebo štyridsať rokov chodili synovia Izraelovi po púšti, dokiaľ nevyhynul všetok ten národ, mužovia, súci do boja, ktorí boli vyšli z Egypta, ktorí nepočúvali na hlas Hospodina, ktorým potom prisahal Hospodin, že im neukáže zeme, o ktorej prisahal Hospodin ich otcom, že nám ju dá, zem to, ktorá tečie mliekom a medom.

⁶for forty years have the sons of Israel gone in the wilderness, till all the nation of the men of war who are coming out of Egypt, who hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah, to whom Jehovah hath sworn not to show them the land which Jehovah sware to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey, are consumed;

⁷Ale ich synov postavil namiesto nich. Tých obrezal Jozua, pretože boli neobrezaní, lebo ich neboli obrezali na ceste.

⁷and their sons He raised up in their stead, them hath Joshua circumcised, for they have been uncircumcised, for they have not circumcised them in the way.

⁸A stalo sa, keď už bol obrezaný celý národ, všetci, že zostali každý na svojom mieste v tábore, dokiaľ sa nevyhojili.

⁸And it cometh to pass when all the nation have completed to be circumcised, that they abide in their places in the camp till their recovering;

⁹A Hospodin riekol Jozuovi: Dneska som s vás odvalil pohanu Egypta. A nazval meno toho miesta Gilgal, a tak sa volá až do tohoto dňa.

⁹and Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `To-day I have rolled the reproach of Egypt from off you;` and [one] calleth the name of that place Gilgal unto this day.

¹⁰A synovia Izraelovi táborili v Gilgale a slávili Veľkú noc, štrnásteho dňa toho mesiaca, večer, na rovinách Jericha.

¹⁰And the sons of Israel encamp in Gilgal, and make the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho;

¹¹A jedli z úrody zeme nasledujúceho dňa po Veľkej noci, nekvasené chleby a pražené zrno, práve toho istého dňa.

¹¹and they eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow of the passover, unleavened things and roasted [corn], in this self-same day;

¹²A tak prestala manna na druhý deň, keď jedli z úrody zeme, a už viacej nemali synovia Izraelovi manny, ale jedli z úrody Kananejskej zeme toho roku.

¹²and the manna doth cease on the morrow in their eating of the old corn of the land, and there hath been no more manna to the sons of Israel, and they eat of the increase of the land of Canaan in that year.

¹³A stalo sa, keď bol Jozua pri Jerichu, že pozdvihol svoje oči a videl, že hľa, stojí naproti nemu nejakí muž, a jeho vytasený meč v jeho ruke. A Jozua išiel k nemu a povedal mu: Či si ty za nás a či za našich protivníkov?

¹³And it cometh to pass in Joshua`s being by Jericho, that he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, one standing over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua goeth unto him, and saith to him, `Art thou for us or for our adversaries?`

¹⁴A muž odpovedal: Nie, lebo ja som knieža vojska Hospodinovho; teraz som prišiel. Vtedy padol Jozua na svoju tvár na zem a klaňal sa a povedal mu: Čo hovorí môj pán svojmu služobníkovi?

¹⁴And He saith, `No, for I [am] Prince of Jehovah`s host; now I have come;` and Joshua falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith to Him, `What is my Lord speaking unto His servant?`

¹⁵A knieža vojska Hospodinovho riekol Jozuovi: Sozuj svoju obuv so svojich nôh, lebo miesto, na ktorom stojíš, je sväté. A Jozua urobil tak.

¹⁵And the Prince of Jehovah`s host saith unto Joshua, `Cast off thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou art standing is holy;` and Joshua doth so;
