Joshua 4
1 And it came to pass, when all the nation were clean passed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying:
A, ka poto katoa te iwi te whiti i Horano, na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Hohua, ka mea,
2 'Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
Tangohia mai e koutou i roto i te iwi kia kotahi tekau ma rua tangata, kia takikotahi tangata o te iwi,
3 and command ye them, saying: Take you hence out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood, twelve stones made ready, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place, where ye shall lodge this night.'
A ka whakahau ki a ratou, ka mea, Tangohia atu i konei, i waenganui o Horano, i te wahi i ata tu ai nga waewae o nga tohunga, kia tekau ma rua nga kohatu, a maua atu, waiho ki te moenga e moe ai koutou a tenei po.
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man;
Na ka karangatia e Hohua nga tangata kotahi tekau ma rua i whakaritea e ia i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, takikotahi te tangata o roto o te iwi:
5 and Joshua said unto them: 'Pass on before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
A ka mea a Hohua ki a ratou, Haere atu i mua i te aaka a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, ki waenganui o Horano, ka hapai ake kia takikotahi te kohatu ma te tangata ki runga ki tona pokohiwi, kia rite ki nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira te maha:
6 that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in time to come, saying: What mean ye by these stones?
Kia waiho ai tenei mea hei tohu ki waenganui i a koutou; mo te ui a a koutou tamariki a mua, mo te mea, Hei aha enei kohatu ma koutou?
7 then ye shall say unto them: Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over 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.'
Katahi koutou ka mea atu ki a ratou, No te motuhanga i nga wai o Horano i mua i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa; i tona whitinga mai i Horano i motuhia nga wai o Horano: a ko enei kohatu hei whakamahara mo nga tama a Iharaira a ake ake.
8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as the LORD spoke unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
A peratia ana e nga tama a Iharaira me ta Hohua i whakahau ai, hapainga ake ana e ratou nga kohatu kotahi tekau ma rua i waenganui o Horano, peratia ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a Hohua, he mea rite ki nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira te maha; a m auria ana ki to ratou puni, waiho ana i reira.
9 Joshua also set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there unto this day.
A i whakaturia e Hohua etahi kohatu kotahi tekau ma rua ki waenganui o Horano, ki te wahi i tu ai nga waewae o nga tohunga i amo i te aaka o te kawenata: kei reira ano aua kohatu a mohoa noa nei.
10 And the priests that bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hastened and passed over.
Heoi, tu ana tera nga tohunga i amo i te aaka i waenganui o Horano a oti noa nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Hohua kia korerotia ki te iwi, i rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Mohi ki a Hohua; a i hohoro tonu te iwi te whiti.
11 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed on, and the priests, before the people.
A, ka tapeke katoa te iwi te whiti, na ka whiti te aaka a Ihowa, me nga tohunga i te tirohanga a te iwi.
12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed on armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke unto them;
Ko nga tama a Reupena, ko nga tama a Kara, me tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi i whiti topuni atu i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira, i pera me ta Mohi i korero ai ki a ratou;
13 about forty thousand ready armed for war passed on in the presence of the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Kei te wha tekau nga mano, he hunga tumatohi tonu mo te riri, i haere i te aroaro o Ihowa ki nga mania o Heriko ki te whawhai.
14 On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
No taua ra i whakanui ai a Ihowa i a Hohua i te aroaro o Iharaira katoa; a wehi ana ratou i a ia, pera ana me ratou i wehi i a Mohi, i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
15 And the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying:
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Hohua, i mea,
16 'Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.'
Ki atu ki nga tohunga e amo ana i te aaka o te whakaaturanga, kia haere ake i roto i Horano.
17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying: 'Come ye up out of the Jordan.'
Na ka mea atu a hohua ki nga tohunga, Haere ake i roto i Horano.
18 And it came to pass, as the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up out of the midst of the Jordan, as soon as the soles of the priests' feet were drawn up unto the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and went over all its banks, as aforetime.
A, no te haerenga ake o nga tohunga i amo i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i waenganui o Horano, a ka mahuta ake nga kapu o nga waewae o nga tohunga ki te wahi maroke, ko te tino hokinga o te wai o Horano ki tona wahi ano, a huri tonu ake ki rung a i ona pareparenga, pera ana me to mua.
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.
No te tekau o nga ra o te marama tuatahi te iwi i haere ake ai i Horano, a noho ana i Kirikara i te taha ki te rawhiti o Heriko.
20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
A, ko aua kohatu kotahi tekau ma rua i tangohia, ake e ratou i roto i Horano, na Hohua i whakatu ki Kirikara.
21 And he spoke unto the children of Israel, saying: 'When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying: What mean these stones?
A, i korero ia ki nga tama a Iharaira, i mea, E ui a koutou tamariki a mua ki o ratou matua, e mea, He aha enei kohatu?
22 then ye shall let your children know, saying: Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
Na me whakaatu ki a koutou tama, me ki atu, I whiti maroke mai a Iharaira i tenei Horano.
23 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up from before us, until we were passed over,
Na Ihowa hoki, na to koutou Atua i whakamaroke nga wai o Horano i mua i a koutou, a whiti noa koutou, rite tahi ki ta Ihowa, ki ta to koutou Atua i mea ai ki te Moana Whero, i whakamaroketia ra e ia i mua hoki i a tatou, a whiti noa mai tatou:
24 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty; that ye may fear the LORD your God for ever.'
Kia mohio ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki te ringa o Ihowa, he kaha; kia wehi ai ratou i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, i nga ra katoa.
