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 came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, that were by the sea, heard how that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

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

²At that time Jehovah said unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

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

³And Joshua made him knives of lint, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill 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 cause why Joshua did circumcise: all the people that came forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth 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 that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had 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 the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah: unto whom Jehovah sware that he would not let them see the land which Jehovah sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

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

⁷And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them did Joshua circumcise: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by 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 came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

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 said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto this day.

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

¹⁰And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even 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 did eat of the produce of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the selfsame 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 ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan 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 came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto 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 said, Nay; but [as] prince of the host of Jehovah am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord 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 said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
