Joshua 5

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 Now 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.	1 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܡܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܕܒܡܥܪܒܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ ܕܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ ܕܐܘܒܫ ܡܪܝܐ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܥܒܪܘ ܙܥ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܬܚܪܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܢܦܫܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
2 At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.	2 ܒܗ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܣܦܣܪܐ ܕܛܪܢܐ ܘܗܦܘܟ ܓܙܘܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܬܢܝܢܘܬ
3 He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.	3 ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܣܦܣܪܐ ܕܛܪܢܐ ܘܓܙܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܬܢܝܢܘܬ ܒܪܡܬܐ ܕܥܘܪ̈ܠܐ
4 Now 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.	4 ܘܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܓܙܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܠ ܝܠܕܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܡܛܘܠ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܥ̇ܒ̈ܕܝ ܩܪܒܐ ܡܝܬܘ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܟܕ ܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ
5 Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,	5 ܡܛܠ ܕܓܙܝܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠ ܥܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܘ ܘܟܠ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܬܝܠܕܘ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܟܕ ܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܓܙܪܘ
6 Luring 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.	6 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܗܠܟܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܣܦܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܥ̇ܒ̈ܕܝ ܩܪܒܐ ܕܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܒܩܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܡܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܝܡܐ ܠܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܪܕܝܐ ܚܠܒܐ ܘܕܒܫܐ
7 The 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.	7 ܘܠܒܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܕܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܙܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܘܪܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܠܐ ܓܙܝܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ
8 Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.	8 ܘܟܕ ܓܡܪܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܠܡܬܓܙܪܘ ܐܝܬܒܘ ܒܕܘܟܝ̈ܬܗܘܢ ܒܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐܣܝܘ
9 And 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.	9 ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܐܥ̇ܒܪܬ ܚܣܕܐ ܕܡܨܪ̈ܝܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܘܩܪܐ ܫܡܗ ܕܐܬܪܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܓܠܓܠܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ
10 And 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:	10 ܘܫܪܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܓܠܓܠܐ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܦܨܚܐ ܒܐܪܒܥܣܪܐ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܒܪܡܫܐ ܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܕܐܝܪܝܚܘ
11 And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.	11 ܘܐܟܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܒܘܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܦܨܚܐ ܦܛܝܪܐ ܘܩ̈ܠܝܬܐ ܐܟܠܘ ܒܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܢܐ
12 And 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.	12 ܘܐܫܬܩܠ ܡܢܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܡܐ ܟܕ ܐܟܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܒܘܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܬܘܒ ܡܢܢܐ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܟܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܠܠܬܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ ܒܗ̇ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܗ̇ܝ
13 And 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?	13 ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܕܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܩ̇ܐܡ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܘܣܝܦܗ ܫܡܝܛ ܘܐܚܝܕ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܐܙܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢܢ ܐܢܬ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝܢ
14 And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come.	14 ܐ̇ܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܐ ܪܒ ܚܝ̈ܠܘܬܗ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܗܫܐ ܐܬܝ̇ܬ ܘܢܦܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܣܓܕ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܐ̇ܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܠܥܒܕܗ
15 Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord to his servant?	15 ܘܐܡܪ ܪܒ ܚܝ̈ܠܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܫܪܝ ܡܣ̈ܢܝܟ ܡܢ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܩ̇ܐܡ ܐܢܬ ܒܗ̇ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܗܝ ܘܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܟܢܐ
16 Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
