約書亞記 5
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1約旦河 西 亞摩利 人的諸王和靠海 迦南 人的諸王，聽見耶和華在 以色列 人前面使 約旦河 的水乾了，等到我們過去，他們的心因 以色列 人的緣故就消化了，不再有膽氣。
1Now 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那時，耶和華吩咐 約書亞 說：「你製造火石刀，第二次給 以色列 人行割禮。」
2At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
3約書亞 就製造了火石刀，在「除皮山」那裏給 以色列 人行割禮。
3He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.
4約書亞 行割禮的緣故，是因為從 埃及 出來的眾民，就是一切能打仗的男丁，出了 埃及 以後，都死在曠野的路上。
4Now 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因為出來的眾民都受過割禮；惟獨出 埃及 以後、在曠野的路上所生的眾民都沒有受過割禮。
5Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,
6以色列 人在曠野走了四十年，等到國民，就是出 埃及 的兵丁，都消滅了，因為他們沒有聽從耶和華的話。耶和華曾向他們起誓，必不容他們看見耶和華向他們列祖起誓、應許賜給我們的地，就是流奶與蜜之地。
6Luring 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他們的子孫，就是耶和華所興起來接續他們的，都沒有受過割禮；因為在路上沒有給他們行割禮， 約書亞 這才給他們行了。
7The 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國民都受完了割禮，就住在營中自己的地方，等到痊癒了。
8Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.
9耶和華對 約書亞 說：「我今日將 埃及 的羞辱從你們身上滾去了。」因此，那地方名叫 吉甲 ，直到今日。
9And 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以色列 人在 吉甲 安營。正月十四日晚上，在 耶利哥 的平原守逾越節。
10And 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逾越節的次日，他們就吃了那地的出產；正當那日吃無酵餅和烘的穀。
11And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.
12他們吃了那地的出產，第二日嗎哪就止住了， 以色列 人也不再有嗎哪了。那一年，他們卻吃 迦南 地的出產。
12And 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約書亞 靠近 耶利哥 的時候，舉目觀看，不料，有一個人手裏有拔出來的刀，對面站立。 約書亞 到他那裏，問他說：「你是幫助我們呢，是幫助我們敵人呢？」
13And 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他回答說：「不是的，我來是要作耶和華軍隊的元帥。」 約書亞 就俯伏在地下拜，說：「我主有甚麼話吩咐僕人。」
14And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come.
15耶和華軍隊的元帥對 約書亞 說：「把你腳上的鞋脫下來，因為你所站的地方是聖的。」 約書亞 就照着行了。
15Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord to his servant?

16Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
