书5:1 在约旦河西，亚摩利人的众王和靠近海边迦南人的众王，听见耶和华怎样使约旦河的水在以色列人面前干了，直到他们都过河去，他们都心里惊怕，因以色列人的缘故，勇气全失。
书5:1 Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
书5:2 那时，耶和华对约书亚说：“你要制造火石刀，第二次给以色列人行割礼。”
书5:2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make yourself stone knives and give the children of Israel circumcision a second time.
书5:3 约书亚就制造了火石刀，在包皮山那里给以色列人行了割礼。
书5:3 So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth.
书5:4 约书亚给以色列人行割礼的原因是这样：所有从埃及出来的人民，就是所有能作战的男丁，出埃及以后，都死在旷野的路上。
书5:4 And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.
书5:5 因为所有从埃及出来的人民都受过割礼；唯有从埃及出来以后，所有在旷野的路上出生的人民，都没有受过割礼。
书5:5 All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.
书5:6 以色列人在旷野走了四十年，直到全国的人，就是从埃及出来能作战的男丁，都灭尽了，因为他们不听耶和华的话；耶和华曾经向他们起誓，必不容许他们看见耶和华向他们列祖起誓要赐给我们的地，就是流奶与蜜的地。
书5:6 For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
书5:7 他们的子孙，就是耶和华兴起来代替他们的，约书亚给他们行了割礼；这些人是未受割礼的人，因为他们在路上没有受过割礼。
书5:7 And their children, who came up in their place, now underwent circumcision by the hands of Joshua, not having had it before: for there had been no circumcision on the journey.
书5:8 全国的人受了割礼之后，都住在营中自己的地方，直到痊愈。
书5:8 So when all the nation had undergone circumcision, they kept in their tents till they were well again.
书5:9 耶和华对约书亚说：“我今日把埃及的耻辱从你们身上辊去了。”因此，那地方名叫吉甲（“吉甲”意即“辊”），直到今日。
书5:9 And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day.
书5:10 以色列人在吉甲安营；正月十四日晚上，他们在耶利哥的平原守逾越节。
书5:10 So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the lowlands of Jericho.
书5:11 逾越节后次日，他们吃了那地的出产；就在那一天，吃了无酵饼和烘的谷物。
书5:11 And on the day after the Passover, they had for their food the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and dry grain on the same day.
书5:12 他们吃了那地的出产之后，第二天吗哪就停止降下；以色列人不再有吗哪了；那一年他们却吃迦南地的出产。
书5:12 And there was no more manna from the day after they had for their food the produce of the land; the children of Israel had manna no longer, but that year the produce of the land of Canaan was their food.
书5:13 约书亚走近耶利哥的时候，抬头观看，看见一个人站在他对面，手里拿着拔出来的刀。约书亚走到他那里，对他说：“你是我们的人，还是我们的仇敌呢？”
书5:13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, lifting up his eyes he saw a man in front of him, with his sword uncovered in his hand: and Joshua went up to him and said, Are you for us or against us?
书5:14 那人回答：“不是的；我现在来是作耶和华军队的元帅。”约书亚就脸伏在地，向他下拜，对他说：“我主有什么事要吩咐仆人呢？”
书5:14 And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?
书5:15 耶和华军队的元帅对约书亚说：“把你脚上的鞋脱下来，因为你站的地方是圣地。”约书亚就照着行了。
书5:15 And the captain of the Lord's army said to Joshua, Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy. And Joshua did so.
