Joshua 4
1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
Kane ogendini duto otieko ngʼado aora Jordan, Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya,
2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
“Yier ji apar gariyo e kind jogi, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot,
3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye 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 Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
Omiyo Joshua noluongo ji apar gariyo mane oseyiero koa kuom jo-Israel, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot,
5 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number 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 be a sign among you, [that] when your children ask [their fathers] in time to come, saying, What [mean] ye by these stones?
mondo obed kaka ranyisi e dieru. E ndalo mabiro, ka nyithindu openjou ni, ‘Kitegi nyiso angʼo?’
7 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
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 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid 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 Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto 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 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of 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 hasted and passed over.
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 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of 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 children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto 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 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Ji madirom alufu piero angʼwen mane moikore ni lweny mondo gikedi, nongʼado loka kocha e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka e pewe mag Jeriko.
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.
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 unto Joshua, saying,
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya,
16 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
“Chik jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mondo giwuog oko mar aora Jordan.”
17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
Omiyo Joshua nochiwo chik ni jodolo niya, “Wuoguru oko mar aora Jordan.”
18 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, [and] the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, 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 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth [day] of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
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 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
Kendo Joshua nochungo kite apar gariyogo Gilgal, ma gin kite mane ogolo e aora Jordan.
21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What [mean] these stones?
Nowachone jo-Israel niya, “E ndalo mabiro ka nyikwau nopenj wuoneu ni, ‘Kitegi nyiso angʼo?’
22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
To nyisgiuru ni, ‘Jo-Israel nongʼado aora Jordan kawuotho e lowo motwo.’
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 gone over:
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 earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it [is] mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.
Notimo kamano mondo ji duto manie piny ongʼe ni lwet Jehova Nyasaye nigi teko kendo mondo omi uluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kinde duto.”
