Yoswa akomola Abayisirayiri

(B)Mu kiseera ekyo Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Weekolere obwambe obw’amayinja amoogi, okomole abasajja bonna Abayisirayiri abatakomolwanga.” Bw’atyo Yoswa n’akola obwambe mu mayinja amoogi n’akomolera abasajja Abayisirayiri ku lusozi oluyitibwa Gibeyakalaloosi. (C)Ensonga Yoswa kyeyava abakomola y’eno: abasajja Abayisirayiri abaava e Misiri nga mwe muli n’abalwanyi bonna, baafiira mu ddungu. Abaava e Misiri bonna baali bamaze okukomolebwa, kyokka abaana baabwe abaazaalirwa mu ddungu tebaali bakomole. (D)Abayisirayiri baamala emyaka amakumi ana nga batambula mu ddungu okutuusa bonna, nga mwe muli n’abalwanyi, lwe baafa ne baggwaawo, kubanga baagaana okugondera eddoboozi lya Mukama era kyeyava abalayirira nti talibaganya kutuuka mu nsi eyo gye yasuubiza bajjajjaabwe, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki. Kale mu bifo byabwe Mukama yazzaawo baana baabwe era abo Yoswa be yakomola kubanga tebaakomolerwa mu kkubo. (E)Bonna nga bamaze okukomolwa tebaava mu weema zaabwe mu lusiisira, okutuusa nga bamaze okuwona. Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Okuva olwa leero mbaggyeeko ekivume ky’e Misiri.” Ekifo ekyo kyekyava kiyitibwa Girugaali n’okutuusa kaakano.

Abayisirayiri bakwata Okuyitako e Girugaali

10 (F)Awo Abayisirayiri bwe baali bakyasiisidde e Girugaali embaga ey’Okuyitako n’etuuka era ne bagirya akawungeezi ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi, mu lusenyi lw’e Yeriko. 11 (G)Enkeera ne balya emmere ey’omu nsi y’e Kanani: emigaati egitali mizimbulukuse n’empeke ensiike. 12 (H)Okuva ku lunaku olwo lwe baalya ku mmere y’omu Kanani tebaddamu kufuna Maanu; olwo ne batandika kulyanga mmere ya mu nsi eyo.

Yoswa Asisinkana Omukulu w’Eggye lya Mukama

13 (I)Awo Yoswa bwe yali anaatera okutuuka e Yeriko bwe yayimusa amaaso n’alaba omusajja akutte ekitala ekisowole ng’amwolekedde. Yoswa kyeyava amusemberera n’amubuuza nti, “Oli ku ludda lwaffe oba ku lwa balabe baffe?” Ye n’amuddamu nti, 14 (J)“Siriiko ludda. Nze mukulu w’eggye lya Mukama era ntuuse.” Yoswa n’agwa wansi, n’avuunama n’amusinza era n’amubuuza nti, “Mukama wange, oŋŋamba ki omuddu wo?” 15 (K)Naye omukulu w’eggye lya Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Yambulamu engatto zo kubanga ekifo kino mw’oli kitukuvu.” Ne Yoswa naye n’akola nga bwe yalagirwa.

La circuncisión y la pascua en Gilgal

Cuando todos los reyes de los amorreos que estaban al otro lado del Jordán al occidente, y todos los reyes de los cananeos que estaban cerca del mar, oyeron cómo Jehová había secado las aguas del Jordán delante de los hijos de Israel hasta que hubieron pasado, desfalleció su corazón, y no hubo más aliento en ellos delante de los hijos de Israel.

En aquel tiempo Jehová dijo a Josué: Hazte cuchillos afilados, y vuelve a circuncidar la segunda vez a los hijos de Israel. Y Josué se hizo cuchillos afilados, y circuncidó a los hijos de Israel en el collado de Aralot.[a] Esta es la causa por la cual Josué los circuncidó: Todo el pueblo que había salido de Egipto, los varones, todos los hombres de guerra, habían muerto en el desierto, por el camino, después que salieron de Egipto. Pues todos los del pueblo que habían salido, estaban circuncidados; mas todo el pueblo que había nacido en el desierto, por el camino, después que hubieron salido de Egipto, no estaba circuncidado. Porque los hijos de Israel anduvieron por el desierto cuarenta años, hasta que todos los hombres de guerra que habían salido de Egipto fueron consumidos, por cuanto no obedecieron a la voz de Jehová; por lo cual Jehová les juró que no les dejaría ver la tierra de la cual Jehová había jurado a sus padres que nos la daría, tierra que fluye leche y miel.(A) A los hijos de ellos, que él había hecho suceder en su lugar, Josué los circuncidó; pues eran incircuncisos, porque no habían sido circuncidados por el camino.

Y cuando acabaron de circuncidar a toda la gente, se quedaron en el mismo lugar en el campamento, hasta que sanaron. Y Jehová dijo a Josué: Hoy he quitado de vosotros el oprobio de Egipto; por lo cual el nombre de aquel lugar fue llamado Gilgal,[b] hasta hoy.

10 Y los hijos de Israel acamparon en Gilgal, y celebraron la pascua(B) a los catorce días del mes, por la tarde, en los llanos de Jericó. 11 Al otro día de la pascua comieron del fruto de la tierra, los panes sin levadura, y en el mismo día espigas nuevas tostadas. 12 Y el maná cesó(C) el día siguiente, desde que comenzaron a comer del fruto de la tierra; y los hijos de Israel nunca más tuvieron maná, sino que comieron de los frutos de la tierra de Canaán aquel año.

Josué y el varón con la espada desenvainada

13 Estando Josué cerca de Jericó, alzó sus ojos y vio un varón que estaba delante de él, el cual tenía una espada desenvainada en su mano. Y Josué, yendo hacia él, le dijo: ¿Eres de los nuestros, o de nuestros enemigos? 14 Él respondió: No; mas como Príncipe del ejército de Jehová he venido ahora. Entonces Josué, postrándose sobre su rostro en tierra, le adoró; y le dijo: ¿Qué dice mi Señor a su siervo? 15 Y el Príncipe del ejército de Jehová respondió a Josué: Quita el calzado de tus pies, porque el lugar donde estás es santo. Y Josué así lo hizo.

Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast(A) heard how the Lord had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they[a] had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear(B) and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.

Circumcision and Passover at Gilgal

At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives(C) and circumcise(D) the Israelites again.” So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloth.[b]

Now this is why he did so: All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age(E)—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt.(F) All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not. The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness(G) forty years(H) until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the Lord. For the Lord had sworn to them that they would not see the land he had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us,(I) a land flowing with milk and honey.(J) So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised. They were still uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised on the way. And after the whole nation had been circumcised, they remained where they were in camp until they were healed.(K)

Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So the place has been called Gilgal[c](L) to this day.

10 On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month,(M) while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover.(N) 11 The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land:(O) unleavened bread(P) and roasted grain.(Q) 12 The manna stopped the day after[d] they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate the produce of Canaan.(R)

The Fall of Jericho

13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man(S) standing in front of him with a drawn sword(T) in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

14 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown(U) to the ground(V) in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord[e] have for his servant?”

15 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.”(W) And Joshua did so.

The Second Generation Circumcised

So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites (A)who were by the sea, (B)heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until [a]we had crossed over, that [b]their heart melted; (C)and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.

At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make (D)flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at [c]the hill of the foreskins. And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: (E)All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt. For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised. For the children of Israel walked (F)forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were [d]consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord—to whom the Lord swore that (G)He would not show them the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, (H)“a land flowing with milk and honey.” Then Joshua circumcised (I)their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp (J)till they were healed. Then the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away (K)the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called (L)Gilgal[e] to this day.

10 Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover (M)on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho. 11 And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and [f]parched grain, on the very same day. 12 Then (N)the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.

The Commander of the Army of the Lord

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, (O)a Man stood opposite him (P)with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”

14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.”

And Joshua (Q)fell on his face to the earth and (R)worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

15 Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, (S)“Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.
