Joshua 4
1 And it came to pass, when all the nation were clean passed over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
Kane ogendini duto otieko ngʼado aora Jordan, Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya,
2 Take for you twelve men out of the people, a man out of every tribe,
“Yier ji apar gariyo e kind jogi, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot,
3 and command ye them, saying, Take for you here out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge this night.
kendo ikonegi mondo gikaw kite apar gariyo e dier aora Jordan yo korachwich koma jodolo ochungoe kendo gitingʼ-gi mi giketgi piny kama gidhi dakie otieno ma kawuono.”
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the sons of Israel, a man out of every tribe.
Omiyo Joshua noluongo ji apar gariyo mane oseyiero koa kuom jo-Israel, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot,
5 And Joshua said to them, Pass over before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,
kendo nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru e nyim Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu nyaka uchop e dier aora Jordan. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka kaw kidi e goke, kaluwore gi kwan mar dhout Israel,
6 that this may be a sign among you, that, when your children ask in time to come, saying, What do ye mean by these stones?
mondo obed kaka ranyisi e dieru. E ndalo mabiro, ka nyithindu openjou ni, ‘Kitegi nyiso angʼo?’
7 Then ye shall say to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the sons of Israel forever.
To nyisgiuru kaka pi aora Jordan noduono kane Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye kadho. Kane ongʼad kode aora Jordan, to pige mag aora Jordan noduono. Kitegi mondo obed rapar ni jo-Israel nyaka chiengʼ.”
8 And the sons of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
Omiyo jo-Israel notimo kaka Joshua nochikogi. Negikawo kite apar gariyo koa e dier aora Jordan, kaluwore gi kwan mar dhout Israel, kaka Jehova Nyasaye nokone Joshua; kendo negitingʼogi nyaka kama negibuoroe, kanyo negiketogie piny.
9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood, and they are there to this day.
Joshua nochano kite apar gariyogo mane ni e dier aora Jordan kama jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok nosechungʼe kendo kitego pod ni kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.
10 For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua. And the people hastened and passed over.
Koro jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok nodongʼ kochungʼ e dier aora Jordan nyaka ji notieko timo gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiko Joshua, mana kaka Musa nochiko Joshua. Ji nokadho mapiyo nono kadhi,
11 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of Jehovah passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
kendo bangʼ kane gisekadho giduto, eka jodolo bende nokadho modhi loka komachielo kotingʼo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ka ji duto neno.
12 And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the sons of Israel, as Moses spoke to them.
Jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase nongʼado ka gimanore gi gige lweny e nyim jo-Israel, mana kaka Musa nosechikogi.
13 About forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before Jehovah to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Ji madirom alufu piero angʼwen mane moikore ni lweny mondo gikedi, nongʼado loka kocha e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka e pewe mag Jeriko.
14 On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
E odiechiengʼno, Jehova Nyasaye notingʼo Joshua malo e nyim jo-Israel, mi gimiye luor ndalo duto mag ngimane, mana kaka negimiyo Musa luor.
15 And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya,
16 Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
“Chik jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mondo giwuog oko mar aora Jordan.”
17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan.
Omiyo Joshua nochiwo chik ni jodolo niya, “Wuoguru oko mar aora Jordan.”
18 And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as formerly.
Kendo jodolo nowuok oko e aora kotingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye. Kadiemo wangʼ kapok giketo tiendegi e lowo motwo, to pige mag aora Jordan noduogo e wangʼe mi ochako mol mogingore kaka chon.
19 And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.
E odiechiengʼ mar apar gariyo mar dwe mokwongo, ji noa e aora Jordan mi ochokore Gilgal e tongʼ ma yo podho chiengʼ mar Jeriko.
20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.
Kendo Joshua nochungo kite apar gariyogo Gilgal, ma gin kite mane ogolo e aora Jordan.
21 And he spoke to the sons of Israel, saying, When your sons shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What do these stones mean?
Nowachone jo-Israel niya, “E ndalo mabiro ka nyikwau nopenj wuoneu ni, ‘Kitegi nyiso angʼo?’
22 Then ye shall let your sons know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
To nyisgiuru ni, ‘Jo-Israel nongʼado aora Jordan kawuotho e lowo motwo.’
23 For Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were passed over,
Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu notwoyo aora Jordan e nyimu nyaka ukalo loka kocha. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu notimo ni aora Jordan mana gima notimone Nam Makwar e ndalo mane otwoye e nyimu nyaka ne ungʼado loka kocha.
24 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty, that ye may fear Jehovah your God forever.
Notimo kamano mondo ji duto manie piny ongʼe ni lwet Jehova Nyasaye nigi teko kendo mondo omi uluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kinde duto.”
