¹Ko so pa slišali vsi kralji Amorejcev, ki so bili na tej strani Jordana proti zahodu, in vsi kralji Kanaancev, ki so bivali ob morju, kako je posušil GOSPOD jordanske vode pred sinovi Izraelovimi, dokler niso prešli, jim je skopnelo srce in jim ni ostalo nič poguma, zaradi sinov Izraelovih.

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.

²Tisti čas veli GOSPOD Jozuetu: Naredi si kamenenih nožev, in obreži zopet sinove Izraelove vdrugič.

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

³In naredil si je Jozue kamenenih nožev in obrezal sinove Izraelove ob Hribu neobreze.

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

⁴To pa je vzrok, zakaj jih je obrezal Jozue: vse ljudstvo, ki je šlo iz Egipta, kar jih je bilo moških, sposobnih za vojsko, so pomrli v puščavi po poti, ko so šli iz Egipta.

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,

⁵In ljudstvo vse, ki je izšlo, je bilo obrezano; toda vse ljudstvo, kar se ga je rodilo v puščavi ob potovanju po odhodu iz Egipta, ni bilo obrezano.

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;

⁶Zakaj sinovi Izraelovi so hodili štirideset let po puščavi, dokler ni poginil ves tisti narod, vojaški možje, ki so bili odšli iz Egipta, zato ker niso poslušali GOSPODOVEGA glasu; katerim je prisegel GOSPOD, da jim ne da videti dežele, ki je zanjo prisegel GOSPOD njih očetom, da nam jo da, deželo, v kateri teče mleko in med.

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;

⁷A njih otroke, ki jih je Gospod postavil na njih mesto, je obrezal Jozue; kajti bili so neobrezani, ker jih nihče ni obrezoval na poti.

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.

⁸In ko so končali obrezo vsega naroda, so ostali utaborjeni na svojem mestu, dokler niso ozdraveli.

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;

⁹In GOSPOD reče Jozuetu: Danes sem odvalil z vas sramoto Egipčanov; zato se je imenovalo tisto mesto Gilgal [T. j. odval.] do tega dne.

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.

¹⁰In ko so sinovi Izraelovi taborili v Gilgalu, so praznovali pasho štirinajsti dan meseca proti večeru, na poljanah Jerihovih.

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;

¹¹In jedli so od starega žita te dežele drugi dan po pashi, opresne kruhe in opraženo zrnje v isti dan.

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;

¹²In mana je preminila drugi dan, ko so jedli od žita tiste dežele, in Izraelovi sinovi niso več dobili mane, ampak jedli so od pridelkov Kanaanske dežele tisto leto.

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.

¹³Zgodi se pa, ko je bil Jozue pri Jerihu, da povzdigne oči in gleda, in glej, nasproti mu stoji mož s potegnjenim mečem v roki. In Jozue gre k njemu in mu reče: Si li ti naš ali naših sovražnikov?

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?`

¹⁴On reče: Ne, temuč knez sem vojske GOSPODOVE; sedaj sem prišel. In Jozue pade z obličjem na tla in moli ter mu reče: Kaj pravi gospod moj svojemu hlapcu?In knez vojske GOSPODOVE veli Jozuetu: Sezuj obuvalo z nog svojih, zakaj mesto, ki stojiš na njem, je sveto. In Jozue stori tako.

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?`

¹⁵In knez vojske GOSPODOVE veli Jozuetu: Sezuj obuvalo z nog svojih, zakaj mesto, ki stojiš na njem, je sveto. In Jozue stori tako.

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;
