Yosiua 4

1 Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da Yodane Hano degei dagoloba, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i,

And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying,

2 “Dunu fagoyale, Isala: ili fi fagoyale amoga afae afae amo ilegema.

Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,

3 Ilia da igi fagoyale Yodane Hano dogoa gobele salasu dunu ilia lelu sogebi gala, amo lale dilia wali gasia esalebego amoga legema: ne sia: ma.”

And command all of you them, saying, Take you behind out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and all of you shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where all of you shall lodge this night.

4 Amalalu, Yosiua da dunu fagoyale gala e da ilegei, ilima misa: ne sia: i.

Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

5 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo bisili, Yodane Hano amo ganodini masa. Dilia afae afae igi gisa masa. Amo da Isala: ili fi fagoyale gala afae afae igi afae gala.

And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:

6 Amo igi ba: sea, Isala: ili dunu da Hina Gode Ea hamoi amo bu dawa: mu. Hobea, dilia mano da amo igi gilisi ea bai amo dilima adole ba: sea,

That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean all of you by these stones?

7 dilia da amo bai olelemu, amo Isala: ili fi amola Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da hano degemusa: dawa: loba, hano ea ahoabe da yolesi dagoi. Isala: ili dunu da amo igi ba: sea, ilia da guiguda: hou amo dawa: lalumu.”

Then all of you shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

8 Dunu ilegei da Yosiua ea sia: nabi. Hina Gode da Yosiuama sia: i amo defele, ilia da igi fagoyale gala (Isala: ili fi afae afae igi afae gala) amo Yodane Hano dogoa lale, ilia golamu sogebi amoga gisa asili ligisi.

And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spoke unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

9 Amola Yosiua da igi fagoyale gala eno amo gobele salasu ilia Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli lelu sogebi Yodane Hano dogoa amoga legesu. (Amo igi da wali amogawi diala.)

And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.

10 Gobele salasu dunu da Yodane Hano dogoa liligi huluane Hina Gode da Yosiua Isala: ili dunuma hamoma: ne sia: i, amo hamoi dagoi. Ilia da Yodane Hano dogoa ba: musa: lelu. Mousese da amo hou hamoma: ne sia: i. Dunu huluane da hedolo degei dagoi.

For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.

11 Ilia da huluane na: iyado bega: doaga: loba, gobele salasu dunu da dunu eno bisili, Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo gaguli asi.

And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

12 Mousese ea sia: i defele, Liubene fi, Ga: de fi amola Mana: se fi la: idi ilia da gegesu liligi gaguli, dunu eno bisili degei.

And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke unto them:

13 Hina Gode ba: ma: ne dunu 40,000 ilia gegesu liligi gaguli, Yodane Hano degele, umi soge Yeligou moilai bai bagade gadenene amoga doaga: i.

About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

14 Hina Gode da amo eso hou hamobeba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Yosiua da gasa bagade mimogo dunu dawa: i. E da esalea, ilia da Mousesema dawa: i defele, Yosiuama nodosu.

On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

15 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i,

And the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying,

16 “Gobele salasu dunu amo da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli ahoa, ilima ilia da Yodane Hano fisili osoboga heda: ma: ne sia: ma.”

Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.

17 Yosiua da agoane sia: i.

Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come all of you up out of Jordan.

18 Gobele salasu dunu da hano bega: doaga: le heda: loba, hano da bu ahoasu amola bu bagade nedei.

And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.

19 Eso nabuga amola oubi age amoga, Isala: ili dunu da Yodane Hano degele, Giliga: le soge (Yeligou moilai bai bagade amo ea eso mabadi la: idi gala) amoga ilia abula diasu gaguli gagai.

And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.

20 Amogawi Yosiua da igi fagoyale gala e Yodane Hanoga lai, amo legei.

And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.

21 E da Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: i, “Hobea dilia mano da amo igi ilia bai dilima adole ba: sea,

And he spoke unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

22 dilia da esoha amoga Isala: ili dunu da Yodane Hano amo osobo hafoga: i amoga degei ilima olelema.

Then all of you shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

23 Dilia Hina Gode da Maga: me Hano Wayabo amo hafoga: i, amo defele Yodane Hano dili degema: ne hafoga: i, amo ilima olelema.

For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until all of you were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:

24 Amo hou ba: beba: le, osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da Hina Gode Ea gasa bagade hou dawa: mu, amola dilia da mae fisili eso huluane dilia Hina Godema nodonanumu.”

That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that all of you might fear the LORD your God for ever.
