Joshua 4

1 And when all the people were wholy gone ouer Iorden, (after the Lord had spoken vnto Ioshua, saying,

Kane ogendini duto otieko ngʼado aora Jordan, Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya,

2 Take you twelue me out of the people, out of euery tribe a man,

“Yier ji apar gariyo e kind jogi, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot,

3 And command you them, saying, Take you hence out of the middes of Iorden, out of the place where the Priestes stoode in a readinesse, twelue stones, which ye shall take away with you, and leaue them in the lodging where you 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 Ioshua called the twelue men, whome he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery tribe a man,

Omiyo Joshua noluongo ji apar gariyo mane oseyiero koa kuom jo-Israel, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot,

5 And Ioshua said vnto them, Go ouer before the Arke of the Lord your God, euen through the middes of Iorden, and take vp euery man of you a stone vpon his shoulder according vnto the nomber of the tribes of the children 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 bee a signe among you, that whe your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, saying, What meane you by these stones?

mondo obed kaka ranyisi e dieru. E ndalo mabiro, ka nyithindu openjou ni, ‘Kitegi nyiso angʼo?’

7 Then ye may answere them, That the waters of Iorden were cut off before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord: for when it passed through Iorden, the waters of Iorden were cut off: therefore these stones are a memoriall vnto the children of Israel for euer.

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 Then ye children of Israel did euen so as Ioshua had commanded, and tooke vp twelue stones out of the mids of Iorden as ye Lord had said vnto Ioshua, according to the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel, and caried them away with them vnto the lodging, and layd 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 Ioshua set vp twelue stones in the middes of Iorden, in the place where the feete of the Priests, which bare the Arke of the couenant stood, and there haue they continued vnto 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 So the Priests, which bare ye Arke, stoode in the middes of Iorden, vntill euery thing was finished that ye Lord had comanded Ioshua to say vnto the people, according to all that Moses charged Ioshua: then the people hasted and went ouer.

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 When all the people were cleane passed ouer, the Arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the Priests before 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 sonnes of Reuben, and the sonnes of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh went ouer before the children of Israel armed, as Moses had charged 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 Euen fourty thousand prepared for warre, went before the Lord vnto battel, into ye plaine of Iericho.

Ji madirom alufu piero angʼwen mane moikore ni lweny mondo gikedi, nongʼado loka kocha e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka e pewe mag Jeriko.

14 That day the Lord magnified Ioshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses all dayes 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 the Lord spake vnto Ioshua, saying,

Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya,

16 Commande the Priests that beare ye Arke of the testimonie, to come vp out of Iorden.

“Chik jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mondo giwuog oko mar aora Jordan.”

17 Ioshua therefore commanded the Priests, saying, Come ye vp out of Iorden.

Omiyo Joshua nochiwo chik ni jodolo niya, “Wuoguru oko mar aora Jordan.”

18 And when the Priests that bare the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord were come vp out of the middes of Iorden, and assoone as the soles of the Priests feete were set on the dry land, the waters of Iorde returned vnto their place, and flowed ouer all the bankes thereof, as they did before.

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 So the people came vp out of Iorden the tenth day of the first moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, in the Eastside of Iericho.

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 Also the twelue stones, which they tooke out of Iorden, did Ioshua pitch in Gilgal.

Kendo Joshua nochungo kite apar gariyogo Gilgal, ma gin kite mane ogolo e aora Jordan.

21 And he spake vnto ye childre of Israel, saying, When your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, and say, What meane these stones?

Nowachone jo-Israel niya, “E ndalo mabiro ka nyikwau nopenj wuoneu ni, ‘Kitegi nyiso angʼo?’

22 Then ye shall shew your children, and say, Israel came ouer this Iorden on dry land:

To nyisgiuru ni, ‘Jo-Israel nongʼado aora Jordan kawuotho e lowo motwo.’

23 For the Lord your God dryed vp ye waters of Iorden before you, vntill ye were gone ouer, as the Lord your God did the red Sea, which hee dryed vp before vs, till we were gone ouer,

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 people of the worlde may know that the hand of the Lord is mightie, that ye might feare the Lord your God continually.

Notimo kamano mondo ji duto manie piny ongʼe ni lwet Jehova Nyasaye nigi teko kendo mondo omi uluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kinde duto.”
