Joshua 4
1 Once the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord told Joshua,
Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da Yodane Hano degei dagoloba, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i,
2 “Choose twelve men from the people, one per tribe,
“Dunu fagoyale, Isala: ili fi fagoyale amoga afae afae amo ilegema.
3 and tell them, ‘Pick up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing. Then carry them and set them down at the place where you will camp tonight.’”
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.”
4 So Joshua sent for the twelve men he had chosen, one from each tribe,
Amalalu, Yosiua da dunu fagoyale gala e da ilegei, ilima misa: ne sia: i.
5 and told them, “Go back into the middle of the Jordan, right in front of the Ark of the Agreement of the Lord your God, and each of you pick up a stone and carry it on your shoulder, one for each of the tribes of Israel.
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.
6 This will be a memorial among you so when your children one day ask, ‘What do these stones mean?’
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,
7 you can tell them, ‘It's about the time the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the Lord's Agreement went across. When it crossed over the water stopped. These stones are a memorial to the people of Israel forever.’”
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.”
8 The people of Israel did as Joshua told them. The men picked up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan as the Lord had instructed Joshua. They carried them to the place where they camped overnight and placed the stones there, one for each of the tribes of Israel.
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.
9 Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan right where the priests carrying the Ark of the Agreement had stood, and they are still there to this very day.
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.)
10 The priests carrying the Ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything was done just as the Lord had told the people to do, all that Moses had told Joshua to do. The people crossed over quickly.
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.
11 Once all the people had crossed over, they watched as the Ark of the Lord was carried across by the priests.
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.
12 The armed men from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh crossed at the head of the people of Israel, as Moses had stipulated.
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.
13 They numbered about 40,000 men, armed and ready for battle, crossed in the presence of the Lord to the plains of Jericho.
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.
14 On that day the Lord confirmed Joshua as great leader in the sight of all the Israelites, and they were in awe of him just as they had been in awe of Moses.
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.
15 The Lord had told Joshua,
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i,
16 “Order the priests carrying the Ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan.”
“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.”
17 So Joshua told the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.”
Yosiua da agoane sia: i.
18 The priests came up out of the Jordan carrying the Ark of the Agreement, and as soon as their feet touched dry ground the waters of the Jordan returned to where they had been, overflowing its banks as before.
Gobele salasu dunu da hano bega: doaga: le heda: loba, hano da bu ahoasu amola bu bagade nedei.
19 The people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal, to the east of Jericho, on the tenth day of the first month.
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.
20 Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones that had been taken from the Jordan.
Amogawi Yosiua da igi fagoyale gala e Yodane Hanoga lai, amo legei.
21 He told the Israelites, “When some day your children ask you their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’
E da Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: i, “Hobea dilia mano da amo igi ilia bai dilima adole ba: sea,
22 you can explain to them, ‘This is where the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’
dilia da esoha amoga Isala: ili dunu da Yodane Hano amo osobo hafoga: i amoga degei ilima olelema.
23 For the Lord your God made the Jordan River dry up right in front of you so you all could cross, just as the Lord your God did at the Red Sea which he dried up so we could all cross.
Dilia Hina Gode da Maga: me Hano Wayabo amo hafoga: i, amo defele Yodane Hano dili degema: ne hafoga: i, amo ilima olelema.
24 He did this so everyone on earth would know how powerful the Lord is, and so that you might be in awe of the Lord your God forever.”
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.”
