And it came to pass when the kings of the Amorites who were beyond Jordan heard, and the kings of Phoenicia by the sea, that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan from before the children of Israel when they passed over, that their hearts failed, and they were terror-stricken, and there was no sense in them because of the children of Israel.

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν ᾿Αμορραίων, οἳ ἦσαν πέραν τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς Φοινίκης οἱ παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν, ὅτι ἀπεξήρανε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην ποταμὸν ἐκ τῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῷ διαβαίνειν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐτάκησαν αὐτῶν αἱ διάνοιαι καὶ κατεπλάγησαν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς φρόνησις οὐδεμία ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ.

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́шаша ца́рїе а҆морре́йстїи, и҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ ѡ҆б̾ ѻ҆нꙋ̀ странꙋ̀ і҆ѻрда́на, и҆ ца́рїе фїні́честїи {Є҆вр.: ханаа̑ни.}, и҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ бли́з̾ мо́рѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зсꙋшѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆ѻрда́нъ рѣкꙋ̀ пред̾ сы̑ны і҆и҃левыми, внегда̀ преходи́ти и҆̀мъ, и҆ и҆ста́ѧша мы̑сли и҆́хъ, и҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ, и҆ не бѧ́ше въ ни́хъ смышле́нїѧ ни є҆ди́нагѡ ѿ лица̀ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ.

2

And about this time the Lord said to Joshua, Make thee stone knives of sharp stone, and sit down and circumcise the children of Israel the second time.

ὑπό δὲ τοῦτον τὸν καιρὸν εἶπε Κύριος τῷ ᾿Ιησοῖ· ποίησον σεαυτῷ μαχαίρας πετρίνας ἐκ πέτρας ἀκροτόμου καὶ καθίσας περίτεμε τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ δευτέρου.

Въ сїе́ же вре́мѧ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь і҆исꙋ́сꙋ: сотворѝ себѣ̀ ножѝ ка́мєнны ѿ ка́мене ѻ҆́страгѡ, и҆ сѣ́дъ ѡ҆брѣ́жи сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы второ́е.

3

And Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the "Hill of Foreskins."

καὶ ἐποίησεν ᾿Ιησοῦς μαχαίρας πετρίνας ἀκροτόμους καὶ περιέτεμε τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπὶ τοῦ καλουμένου τόπου Βουνὸς τῶν ἀκροβυστιῶν.

И҆ сотворѝ і҆исꙋ́съ себѣ̀ ножѝ ка́мєнны ѻ҆стры̑ и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́за сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы на мѣ́стѣ нарече́ннѣмъ хо́лмъ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ.

4

And [this is] the way in which Joshua purified the children of Israel; as many as were born in the way, and as many as were uncircumcised of them that came out of Egypt, all these Joshua circumcised;

ὃν δὲ τρόπον περιεκάθαρεν ᾿Ιησοῦς τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅσοι ποτὲ ἐγένοντο ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ὅσοι ποτὲ ἀπερίτμητοι ἦσαν τῶν ἐξεληλυθότων ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, πάντας τούτους περιέτεμεν ᾿Ιησοῦς·

И҆ та́кѡ ѡ҆брѣ́за і҆исꙋ́съ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы: є҆ли́цы тогда̀ роди́шасѧ на пꙋтѝ, и҆ є҆ли́цы тогда̀ не ѡ҆брѣ́зани бы́ша ѿ и҆зше́дшихъ и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта, всѣ́хъ си́хъ ѡ҆брѣ́за і҆исꙋ́съ: всѝ лю́дїе и҆зше́дшїи и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта мꙋ́жеска по́лꙋ, всѝ мꙋ́жїе ра́тнїи и҆змро́ша въ пꙋсты́ни на пꙋтѝ, внегда̀ и҆зыдо́ша и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта:

5

for forty and two years Israel wandered in the wilderness of Mabdaris--

τεσσαράκοντα γὰρ καὶ δύο ἔτη ἀνέστραπται ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῇ Μαβδαρίτιδι,

ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣ́зани бы́ша всѝ лю́дїе и҆зше́дшїи, вси́ же лю́дїе, и҆̀же роди́шасѧ въ пꙋсты́ни на пꙋтѝ, є҆гда̀ и҆зыдо́ша и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта, не ѡ҆брѣ́зани бы́ша:

6

Wherefore most of the fighting men that came out of the land of Egypt, were uncircumcised, who disobeyed the commands of God; concerning whom also he determined that they should not see the land, which the Lord sware to give to their fathers, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey.

διὸ ἀπερίτμητοι ἦσαν οἱ πλεῖστοι αὐτῶν τῶν μαχίμων τῶν ἐξεληλυθότων ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου οἱ ἀπειθήσαντες τῶν ἐντολῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ, οἷς καὶ διώρισε μὴ ἰδεῖν αὐτοὺς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ὤμοσε Κύριος τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν δοῦναι, γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι.

четы́редесѧть бо и҆ два̀ лѣ̑та хожда́ше і҆и҃ль въ пꙋсты́ни мавдарі́тїдѣ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди не ѡ҆брѣ́зани бы́ша мно́зи ѿ тѣ́хъ во́инѡвъ и҆зше́дшихъ и҆з̾ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ, не послꙋ́шавшїи за́повѣдїй гдⷭ҇нихъ, и҆̀мже и҆ ѡ҆предѣлѝ гдⷭ҇ь не ви́дѣти землѝ, є҆́юже клѧ́тсѧ гдⷭ҇ь ѻ҆тцє́мъ и҆́хъ да́ти на́мъ зе́млю кипѧ́щꙋю ме́домъ и҆ млеко́мъ:

7

And in their place he raised up their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised, having been born by the way.

ἀντὶ δὲ τούτων ἀντικατέστησε τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν, οὓς ᾿Ιησοῦς περιέτεμε, διὰ τὸ αὐτοὺς γεγεννῆσθαι κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἀπεριτμήτους.

вмѣ́стѡ же си́хъ поста́ви сы́ны и҆́хъ, и҆̀хже ѡ҆брѣ́за і҆исꙋ́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сконча̑ныѧ плѡ́ти бѧ́хꙋ и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ роди́шасѧ на пꙋтѝ не ѡ҆брѣ́зани:

8

And when they had been circumcised they rested continuing there in the camp till they were healed.

περιτμηθέντες δὲ ἡσυχίαν εἶχον αὐτόθι καθήμενοι ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, ἕως ὑγιάσθησαν.

ѡ҆брѣ́завшесѧ же поко́й и҆мѧ́хꙋ та́мѡ сѣдѧ́ще въ полцѣ̀, до́ндеже и҆сцѣли́шасѧ.

9

And the Lord said to Joshua the son of Naue, On this day have I removed the reproach of Egypt from you: and he called the name of that place Galgala.

καὶ εἶπε Κύριος τῷ ᾿Ιησοῖ υἱῷ Ναυή· ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέρᾳ ἀφεῖλον τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν Αἰγύπτου ἀφ’ ὑμῶν. καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Γάλγαλα.

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь і҆исꙋ́сꙋ: въ дне́шнїй де́нь ѿѧ́хъ поноше́нїе є҆гѵ́петско ѿ ва́съ. И҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀ галга́ла, да́же до сегѡ̀ днѐ.

10

And the children of Israel kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, to the westward of Jericho on the opposite side of the Jordan in the plain.

Καί ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ τὸ πάσχα τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς ἀφ’ ἑσπέρας ἐπὶ δυσμῶν ῾Ιεριχὼ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ

И҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы въ галга́лѣхъ и҆ сотвори́ша па́схꙋ въ четвертыйна́десѧть де́нь мцⷭ҇а ѿ ве́чера на за́падѣ на по́ли і҆ерїхѡ́нстѣмъ,

11

And they ate of the grain of the earth unleavened and new [corn].

καὶ ἐφάγοσαν ἀπὸ τοῦ σίτου τῆς γῆς ἄζυμα καὶ νέα.

и҆ ꙗ҆до́ша ѿ пшени́цы землѝ ѻ҆́ноѧ ѡ҆прѣсно́ки и҆ нѡ́ваѧ:

12

In this day the manna failed, after they had eaten of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel no longer had manna: and they took the fruits of the land of the Phoenicians in that year.

ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξέλιπε τὸ μάννα μετὰ τὸ βεβρωκέναι αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ σίτου τῆς γῆς, καὶ οὐκέτι ὑπῆρχε τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ μάννα· ἐκαρπίσαντο δὲ τὴν χώραν τῶν Φοινίκων ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ.

въ то́й де́нь преста̀ ма́нна, повнегда̀ ꙗ҆до́ша ѿ пшени́цы землѝ, и҆ ктомꙋ̀ не бы́сть сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ ма́нны: но ꙗ҆до́ша ѿ плодѡ́въ землѝ фїні́ческїѧ {Є҆вр.: ханаа́нскїѧ.} въ лѣ́то ѻ҆́ное.

13

And it came to pass when Joshua was in Jericho, that he looked up with his eyes and saw a man standing before him, and [there was] a drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua drew near and said to him, Art thou for us or on the side of our enemies?

Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἦν ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐν ῾Ιεριχώ, καὶ ἀναβλέψας τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκότα ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ ρομφαία ἐσπασμένη ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ. καὶ προσελθὼν ᾿Ιησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἡμέτερος εἶ ἢ τῶν ὑπεναντίων;

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ бѧ́ше і҆исꙋ́съ ᲂу҆ і҆ерїхѡ́на, и҆ воззрѣ́въ ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма, ви́дѣ человѣ́ка стоѧ́ща пред̾ ни́мъ, и҆ ме́чь є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆бнаже́нъ въ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀. И҆ пристꙋпи́въ і҆исꙋ́съ, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: на́шъ ли є҆сѝ, и҆лѝ ѿ сопоста̑тъ на́шихъ;

14

And he said to him, I am now come, the chief captain of the host of the Lord. And Joshua fell on his face upon the earth, and said to him, Lord, what commandest thou thy servant?

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἐγὼ ἀρχιστράτηγος δυνάμεως Κυρίου νυνὶ παραγέγονα. καὶ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· δέσποτα, τί προστάσσεις τῷ σῷ οἰκέτῃ;

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́зъ а҆рхїстрати́гъ си́лы гдⷭ҇ни, нн҃ѣ прїидо́хъ (сѣ́мѡ). И҆ і҆исꙋ́съ падѐ лице́мъ свои́мъ на зе́млю и҆ поклони́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ: гдⷭ҇и, что̀ повелѣва́еши рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀;

15

And the captain of the Lord’s host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe off thy feet, for the place whereon thou now standest is holy.

καὶ λέγει ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος Κυρίου πρὸς ᾿Ιησοῦν· λῦσαι τὸ ὑπόδημα ἐκ τῶν ποδῶν σου· ὁ γὰρ τόπος, ἐφ’ ᾧ νῦν ἕστηκας ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ, ἅγιός ἐστι.

И҆ речѐ а҆рхїстрати́гъ гдⷭ҇ень ко і҆исꙋ́сꙋ: и҆ззꙋ́й сапо́гъ съ ногꙋ̀ твоє́ю: мѣ́сто бо, на не́мже ты̀ стои́ши, ст҃о є҆́сть. И҆ сотворѝ і҆исꙋ́съ та́кѡ.
