1ヨルダン川の西側にいたアモリ人のすべての王たちと、海辺にいたカナン人のすべての王たちは、イスラエルの人々が渡り終えるまで、主が彼らの前でヨルダン川の水を枯らされたことを聞いた。そのとき彼らの心はくじけ、イスラエルの人々のゆえに、もはや彼らの中に気力は残っていなかった。
1When all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
2その時、主はヨシュアに言われた。「火打ち石の小刀を作り、イスラエルの人々にもう一度割礼を施しなさい。」
2At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
3ヨシュアは火打ち石の小刀を作り、ギベアト・ハアラロトでイスラエルの人々に割礼を施した。
3Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4ヨシュアが割礼を施した理由は次のとおりである。エジプトから出て来た民のうち、すべての男子、すなわちすべての戦士たちは、エジプトから出た後、道中の荒野で死んだ。
4This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5出て来た民はみな割礼を受けていた。しかし、エジプトから出た後、道中の荒野で生まれた民はみな、割礼を受けていなかったのである。
5For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
6イスラエルの人々は四十年間荒野を歩み、エジプトから出て来た戦士たちは皆、死に絶えた。彼らが主の声に聞き従わなかったので、主は、父祖たちに与えると誓われた乳と蜜の流れる地を、彼らには見せないと誓われた。
6For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
7主が彼らに代わって起こされた彼らの子らに、ヨシュアは割礼を施した。道中で割礼を施されていなかったので、彼らは無割礼であったからである。
7Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
8全国民に割礼を施し終えたとき、彼らは傷が癒えるまで宿営の自分たちの場所にとどまった。
8When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
9主はヨシュアに言われた。「今日、わたしはエジプトで受けたそしりを、あなたがたから転がし去った。」それで、その場所は今日までギルガル と呼ばれている。
9The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.
10イスラエルの人々はギルガルに宿営した。彼らはその月の十四日の夕方、エリコの平野で過越の祭りを守った。
10The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
11過越の祭りの翌日、その同じ日に、彼らはその地の産物である種なしパンと炒った穀物を食べた。
11They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
12彼らがその地の産物を食べた翌日、マナは降らなくなった。イスラエルの人々にはもはやマナはなかった。彼らはその年、カナンの地の収穫物を食べた。
12The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13ヨシュアがエリコの近くにいたとき、目を上げると、抜き身の剣を手にした一人の人が目の前に立っていた。ヨシュアは近づいて尋ねた。「あなたは私たちの味方ですか。それとも敵の味方ですか。」
13When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”
14その人は答えた。「いや。わたしは今、主の軍勢の将として来た。」 ヨシュアは顔を地につけてひれ伏して拝み、彼に言った。「わが主は、しもべに何を語られるのですか。」
14He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of the LORD’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
15主の軍勢の将はヨシュアに言った。「足から履き物を脱ぎなさい。あなたが立っている場所は聖なる地である。」ヨシュアはそのとおりにした。
15The prince of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.
