Joshua 4
1 And it came to pass when the whole nation had completely gone over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
Naho fa hene tafatsàke Iardeney i valobohòkey, le nitsara ty hoe am’ Iehosoa t’Iehovà:
2 Take you twelve men out of the people, one man out of every tribe,
Rambeso ondaty folo-ro’ amby boak’ am’ ondatioo; songa ondaty raike ze fifokoañe,
3 and command them, saying, Take up hence out of the midst of the Jordan, from 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.
le ifantoho ty hoe: Mandrambesa vato folo-ro’amby boak’ am’ Iardeney ao, amy ijohañam-pandia’ i mpisoroñe reiy, naho endeso hitsake mindre ama’ areo vaho apoho amy tobe hialeña’ areo te anitoy.
4 And Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had appointed of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe;
Aa le kinanji’ Iehosoa indaty folo-ro’amby nedre’e amo ana’ Israeleo rey; sindre ondaty raike ze fifokoa’e.
5 and Joshua said to them, Pass before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and lift up each of you a stone [and put it] upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,
Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ iereo, Mitsàha aolo’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areoy an-teñateña’ Iardeney vaho songa mandrambesa vato raik’ an-tsoro’e ty ami’ ty ia’ o fifokoa’ o ana’ Israeleoo;
6 that this may be a sign in your midst. When your children ask hereafter, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
ho viloñe ama’ areo, aa naho mañontane anahareo o ana’ areoo amy añey, ty hoe: Inoñ’ ama’ areo o vato retoañeo?
7 then ye shall say to them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it went through the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
Le ty hoe ty hatalili’ areo: Amy te nitampak’ aolo’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày o rano Iardeneio; ie nitsake Iardeney, le nitampake o rano’ Iardeneio; vaho ho faniahiañe o ana’ Israeleo nainai’e o vato retoañe.
8 And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua had commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging-place, and laid them down there.
Aa le nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo i namantoha’ Iehosoay, naho rinambe’ iereo ty vato folo-ro’ amby boak’ anteñateña’ Iardeney ao, ty amy tsinara’ Iehovà am’ Iehosoay, ty ami’ty ia’ o fifokoa’ o ana’ Israeleo, naho nendese’ iereo nitsake mindre am’ iereo mb’ an-tobe mb’eo vaho napo’ iereo ey.
9 And twelve stones did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood firm; and they are there to this day.
Natroa’ Iehosoa añivo’ Iardeney ka ty vato folo-ro’ amby amy nijohañam-pandia’ i mpisoroñe nitarazo i vatam-pañinay rey vaho mbe eo izay henaneo.
10 And the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hasted and passed over.
Aa le nijohañe añivo’ Iardeney o mpisoroñe nitarazo i vataio ampara’ te niheneke i nampitaroñe’ Iehovà Iehosoa am’ ondatioy ty amy nandilia’ i Mosè Iehosoa iabiy; vaho nalisa nitsake mb’eo ondatio.
11 And it came to pass, when all the people had completely gone over, that the ark of Jehovah went over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
Naho fa tafatsàke ondaty iabio, le nitsake ka i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey naho i mpisoroñe rey añatrefa’ ondatio.
12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, went over in array before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.
Nitsake reke-pialiañe aolo’ o ana’ Israeleo o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy ty amy nisaontsie’ i Mosè am’ iereoy;
13 About forty thousand armed for military service passed over before Jehovah to the war, unto the plains of Jericho.
va’e efats’ ale reke-pialiañe veka’e hialy ty nionjoñe mb’an-kotakotak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà, mb’a monto’ Ieriko mb’eo.
14 On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.
Naonjo’ Iehovà ampahaoniña’ Israele iaby t’Iehosoa amy andro zay; vaho nañeveñe ama’e manahake ty nañeveña’ iareo amy Mosè amo hene andro niveloma’eo.
15 And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
Nitsara amy Iehosoa t’Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
16 Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
Ampitroaro boak’ am’ Iardeney o mpisoroñe mitarazo i vatam-pañinaio.
17 And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come up out of the Jordan.
Aa le nandily amy mpisoroñe rey t’Iehosoa, nanao ty hoe: Mitroara amo Iardeneio.
18 And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, [when] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on to the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and they flowed as previously, over all its banks.
Naho niakatse boak’ an-teñateña’ Iardene ao i mpisoroñe rey nitarazo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày, vata’e nitroatse an-tamboho eo o lelam-pandia’ i mpisoroñe reio le nimpoly an-toe’e o rano’ Iardeneio, nanginahina añ’olo’e iabio manahake te taolo.
19 And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the eastern extremity of Jericho.
Nitroatse Iardeney amy andro faha-folo’ i volam-baloha’eiy ondatio vaho nitobe e Gilgale an-dafe atiñana’ Ieriko eo.
20 And those twelve stones which they had taken out of the Jordan did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
Le natroa’ Iehosoa e Gilgale eo i vato folo-ro’amby nakare’ iareo am’ Iardeney rey;
21 And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children hereafter ask their fathers, saying, What [mean] these stones?
vaho nitaroñe’e amo ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Aa naho añontanea’ o ana’ areoo an-droae’e añ’ andro añe ty hoe: Ino o vato retoañe?
22 then ye shall let your children know, saying, On dry land did Israel come over this Jordan;
le hampandrendrehe’ areo o ana’ areoo ty hoe: Nitsake Iardeney an-tane mipintampintañe t’Israele.
23 because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;
Amy te nimaihe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo aolo’ areo ty rano Iardene ampara’ t’ie tafatsàke, manahake ty nanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo i Ria-Binday, ie nimaihe’e añatrefan-tikañe ampara’ te tafatsake,
24 that all peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye might fear Jehovah your God continually.
hahafohina’ ze kila ondati’ ty tane toy te maozatse ty fità’ Iehovà, hañeveña’e am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo nainai’e.
