Joshua 4
1 And when they had crossed over, the Lord said to Joshua:
A PAU ka lahuikanaka i ka hele i kela kapa o Ioredane, alaila olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i mai la,
2 “Choose twelve men, one from each tribe,
E lawe oukou no oukou iho, i umi kanaka a me kumamalua, mailoko mai o ka poe kanaka, e pakahi ke kanaka i ka ohana hookahi.
3 and instruct them so that they may take from the midst of the channel of the Jordan, where the feet of the priests stood still, twelve very hard stones, which you shall station in the place of the camp, where you will pitch your tents this night.”
A e kauoha aku ia lakou, penei, E lawe aku oukou, mailoko aku o Ioredane nei no kahi i ku ai na wawae o na kahuna, i na pohaku he umi a me kumamalua, a e lawe pu ia mau mea me oukou, a e waiho ma kahi a oukou e hoomoana'i i keia po.
4 And Joshua called twelve men, whom he had chosen from the sons of Israel, one from each tribe,
Hea aku la o Iosua i ka poe kanaka he umikumamalua, ana i hoomakaukau ai no na mamo a Iseraela, pakahi ke kanaka i ka ohana hookahi;
5 and he said to them: “Go before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan, and let each one carry from there one stone on your shoulders, according to the number of the sons of Israel,
Olelo mai la o Iosua ia lakou, E hele ae oukou mamua o ka pahu o Iehova, o ko oukou Akua, maloko o Ioredane, a e lawe pakahi ke kanaka ma kona poohiwi i ka pohaku no oukou; e hoohalike i ka helu'na me na ohana o na mamo a Iseraela.
6 so that it may be a sign among you. And when your sons will ask you, tomorrow, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
I lilo keia i hoailona no oukou, i ka wa e ninau mai ai ka oukou poe keiki mahope aku nei, i ka i ana mai, He mea aha keia mau pohaku ia oukou?
7 you shall respond to them: ‘The waters of the Jordan failed before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, when the ark crossed over it. For this reason, these stones were placed as a monument for the sons of Israel, even forever.’”
Alaila, e hai aku oukou ia lakou, Ua hookaawaleia na wai o Ioredane imua o ka pahuberita o Iehova, I ka wa i hele ai ia maloko o Ioredane, ua hookaawaleia na wai o Ioredane; a e lilo no keia mau pohaku i hoailona mau loa e hoomanao ai na mamo a Iseraela.
8 Therefore, the sons of Israel did as Joshua instructed them, carrying twelve stones from the midst of the channel of the Jordan, just as the Lord had ordered him, according to the number of the sons of Israel, as far as the place where they made camp, and there they stationed them.
Hana iho la na mamo a Iseraela pela, e like me ka Iosua i kauoha mai ai, a lawe lakou i umikumamalua pohaku, mailoko mai o Ioredane, me ka olelo a Iehova ia Iosua, e like hoi me ka helu ana o na ohana o na mamo a Iseraela, a lawe pu ae la me lakou a hiki i kahi a lakou i moe ai, a waiho iho la malaila.
9 Similarly, Joshua positioned another twelve stones in the middle of the channel of the Jordan, where the priests stood who were carrying the ark of the covenant; and they are there, even to the present day.
Kukulu iho la o Iosua i umikumamalua pohaku maloko o Ioredane, ma kahi i ku ai na kapuwai o na kahuna, o ka poe lawe i ka pahuberita. Malaila no i waihoia'i ia mau mea a hiki loa mai i keia la.
10 Now the priests who were carrying the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was accomplished which the Lord had instructed Joshua to speak to the people and which Moses had said to him. And the people hurried, and they passed over.
A o na kahuna, ka poe i lawe i ka pahu, ku malie lakou maloko o Ioredane, a pau i ka hanaia na mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Iosua e olelo mai i kanaka, e like hoi me na mea a pau a Mose i kauoha mai ai ia Iosua. Wikiwiki iho la na kanaka, a hele aku la i kela kapa.
11 And when they had all crossed, the ark of the Lord also crossed, and the priests advanced before the people.
A pau na kanaka i ka hele ae, alaila, hele ae la no ka pahu o Iehova, a me na kahuna imua o na kanaka.
12 Likewise, the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh advanced with weapons before the sons of Israel, just as Moses had instructed them.
A o na mamo a Reubena, a me na mamo a Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, hele makaukau lakou mamua o na mamo a Iseraela, e like me ka olelo a Mose ia lakou.
13 And forty thousand fighters, by companies and divisions, advanced through the plains and fields of the city of Jericho.
Hookahi kanaha tausani o ia puali makaukau i ke kaua, i hele ae imua o Iehova i ke kaua i na wahi papu o Ieriko.
14 In that day, the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel, so that they would fear him, just as they had feared Moses while he lived.
Ia la, hookiekie mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i na maka o ka Iseraela a pau, a makau no lakou ia ia i na la a pau o kona ola ana, me lakou i makau ai ia Mose.
15 And he said to him,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i mai la,
16 “Command the priests who are carrying the ark of the covenant to ascend from the Jordan.”
E kauoha ae oe i na kahuna, i ka poe i lawe i ka pahu kanawai, e pii lakou mailoko mai o Ioredane.
17 And he commanded them, saying, “Ascend from the Jordan.”
Kauoha mai la no o Iosua i na kahuna, i mai la, E pii mai oukou mailoko mai o Ioredane.
18 And when those who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord had ascended, and they began to step on dry soil, the waters returned to their channel, and they flowed as they usually did before.
A i ka wa i pii aku ai na kahuna, ka poe i lawe i ka pahuberita o Iehova, mailoko mai o Ioredane, a pae na kapuwai o na kahuna ma kahi maloo, alaila, hoi hou na wai o Ioredane i ko lakou wahi, a kahe hou no maluna o kona kapa a pau, e like mamua.
19 Now the people ascended from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they encamped at Gilgal, opposite the eastern portion of the city of Jericho.
Pii aku la na kanaka a pau, mailoko mai o Ioredane, i ka la umi o ka malama mua, a hoomoana iho la lakou ma Gilegala ma ka palena o Ieriko, aia ma ka hikina.
20 Likewise, the twelve stones that they had taken up from the channel of the Jordan, Joshua stationed at Gilgal.
A o kela mau pohaku, he umikumamalua a lakou i lawe mai ai, mai Ioredane mai, kukulu iho la o Iosua ma Gilegala.
21 And he said to the sons of Israel: “When your sons will question their fathers, tomorrow, and they will say to them, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
Olelo mai la ia i na mamo a Iseraela, i mai la, I ka wa e ninau mai ai ka oukou poe keiki i ko lakou makuakane mahope aku nei, i ka i ana mai, He mea aha keia mau pohaku?
22 you shall teach them, and you shall say: ‘Israel passed over this Jordan, through the dry channel.’
Alaila, e hoike aku oukou i ka oukou poe keiki, me ka i ana aku, Ma kahi maloo i hele mai ai ka Iseraela, a hiki i keia aoao o Ioredane nei.
23 For the Lord your God dried up its waters in your sight, until you crossed over, just as he had done before, at the Red Sea, which he dried up until we crossed over.
No ka mea, ua hoomaloo mai o Iehova, ko oukou Akua i na wai o Ioredane, mamua o oukou, a pau oukou i ka hele ae, e like me ka Iehova ko oukou Akua i hana'i i ke Kaiula, i ka mea ana i hoomaloo ai mamua o kakou, a hala ae kakou;
24 So may all the peoples of the earth learn of the very powerful hand of the Lord. So may you also fear the Lord your God for all time.”
I ike na kanaka a pau o ka honua nei i ka lima o Iehova, ua ikaika ia; i makau hoi oukou ia Iehova, i ko oukou Akua, i na la a pau loa.
