Joshua 4
1 And it comes to pass, when all the nation has completed to pass over the Jordan, that YHWH speaks to Joshua, saying,
Waaqayyos erga sabni guutuun Yordaanosin ceʼee booddee, Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe;
2 “Take for yourselves twelve men out of the people, one man—one man out of a tribe;
“Saba keessaa nama kudha lama, tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa nama tokko tokko filadhuutii
3 and command them, saying, Take up for yourselves from this [place], from the midst of the Jordan, from the established standing-place of the feet of the priests, twelve stones, and you have removed them over with you, and placed them in the lodging-place in which you lodge tonight.”
akka isaan walakkaa Yordaanos keessaa iddoo luboonni dhadhaabatan sanaa dhagoota kudha lama fuudhanii, baatanii isin wajjin deemanii iddoo isin edana bultanitti lafa kakaaʼan itti himi.”
4 And Joshua calls to the twelve men whom he prepared out of the sons of Israel, one man—one man out of a tribe;
Kanaafis Iyyaasuun, namoota kudha lamaan Israaʼeloota keessaa, tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa tokko tokko filate sana walitti waamee
5 and Joshua says to them, “Pass over before the Ark of your God YHWH into the midst of the Jordan, and each of you lift up one stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,
akkana jedheen; “Taabota Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii kana dura darbaatii walakkaa Yordaanos seenaa. Tokkoon tokkoon keessanis akkuma baayʼina gosoota Israaʼelootaatti dhagaa tokko tokko fudhattanii gatiittii keessanitti baachuu qabdu.
6 so that this is a sign in your midst when your children ask hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones to you?
Kunis akka wanni kun gidduu keessanitti mallattoo taʼuuf. Yommuu ijoolleen keessan gara fuulduraatti, ‘Dhagoonni kunneen maal argisiisu?’ jedhanii isin gaafatanitti,
7 That you have said to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off, at the presence of the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH; in its passing over into the Jordan the waters of the Jordan were cut off; and these stones have been for a memorial to the sons of Israel for all time.”
akka bishaan laga Yordaanos fuula taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo duratti gargar cite itti himaa. Yommuu taabonni kun laga Yordaanos ceʼetti bishaan Yordaanos gargar cite. Dhagaawwan kunneenis saba Israaʼeliif yaadannoo bara baraa taʼu.”
8 And the sons of Israel do so as Joshua commanded, and take up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as YHWH has spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and remove them over with them to the lodging-place, and place them there,
Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni akkuma Iyyaasuun isaan ajaje godhan. Isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo Iyyaasuutti hime sana, akkuma baayʼina gosoota Israaʼelootaatti dhagoota kudha lama walakkaa Yordaanos keessaa fuudhan; hamma iddoo qubata isaaniittis baatanii achitti lafa kaaʼatan.
9 even the twelve stones Joshua has raised up out of the midst of the Jordan, the place of the standing of the feet of the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant, and they are there to this day.
Iyyaasuunis dhagoota kudha lamaan walakkaa Yordaanos keessa iddoo luboonni taabota kakuu baatan sun ijaajjaa turan sana ol dhadhaabe. Isaanis hamma harʼaatti achuma jiru.
10 And the priests carrying the Ark are standing in the midst of the Jordan until the completion of the whole thing which YHWH commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, and the people hurry and pass over.
Luboonni taabota kakuu baatan sunis hamma wanni Waaqayyo akka inni namootatti himuuf Iyyaasuu ajaje hundi akkuma Museen Iyyaasuu ajajetti raawwatamutti walakkaa Yordaanos keessa dhadhaabachaa turan. Namoonnis dafanii ceʼan;
11 And it comes to pass, when all the people have completed to pass over, that the Ark of YHWH passes over, and the priests, in the presence of the people;
akkuma hundi isaanii ceʼaniinis utuma namoonni arganuu taabonni Waaqayyootii fi luboonni gara gama kaaniitti ceʼan.
12 and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, pass over, by fifties, before the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them;
Ilmaan Ruubeen, ilmaan Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee akkuma Museen isaan ajajetti miʼa lolaa hidhatanii Israaʼeloota dura gara gamaatti ceʼan.
13 about forty thousand, armed ones of the host, passed over before YHWH for battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Namni gara kuma afurtamaa taʼu warraanaaf hidhatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura gara dirree Yerikootti lolaaf ceʼe.
14 On that day YHWH has made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel, and they fear him, as they feared Moses, all [the] days of his life.
Waaqayyos guyyaa sana fuula Israaʼeloota hundaa duratti Iyyaasuu nama guddaa godhe; isaanis akkuma Museef ulfina kennaa turan sana bara jireenya isaa guutuu Iyyaasuufis ulfina kennan.
15 And YHWH speaks to Joshua, saying,
Ergasiis Waaqayyo Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe;
16 “Command the priests carrying the Ark of the Testimony, and they come up out of the Jordan.”
“Akka isaan Yordaanos keessaa ol baʼaniif luboota taabota kakuu seeraa baatan sana ajaji.”
17 And Joshua commands the priests, saying, “Come up out of the Jordan.”
Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun, “Yordaanos keessaa ol baʼaa” jedhee luboota ajaje.
18 And it comes to pass, in the coming up of the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH out of the midst of the Jordan—the soles of the feet of the priests have been drawn up into the dry ground—and the waters of the Jordan return to their place, and go over all its banks as before.
Luboonnis taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatanii laga keessaa ol baʼan. Akkuma isaan miilla isaanii lafa gogaa irra dhaabbataniin bishaan Yordaanos iddoo ofiitti deebiʼee akkuma duraanii guutee irra dhangalaʼe.
19 And the people have come up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamp in Gilgal, in the extremity east of Jericho;
Guyyaa kurnaffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti namoonni Yordaanos keessaa ol baʼanii Gilgaal isa baʼa daarii Yerikoo keessa qubatan.
20 and these twelve stones, which they have taken out of the Jordan, Joshua has raised up in Gilgal.
Iyyaasuunis dhagoota kudha lamaan isaan Yordaanos keessaa fuudhan sana Gilgaal keessa dhadhaabe.
21 And he speaks to the sons of Israel, saying, “When your sons ask their fathers hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones?
Innis Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhe; “Gara fuulduraatti yoo sanyiin keessan, ‘Dhagaawwan kunneen maal argisiisu?’ jedhanii abbootii isaanii gaafatan,
22 Then you have caused your sons to know, saying, Israel passed over this Jordan on dry land;
‘Israaʼel lafa gogaa irra Yordaanos ceʼe’ jedhaa itti himaa.
23 because your God YHWH dried up the waters of the Jordan at your presence, until your passing over, as your God YHWH did to the Red Sea which He dried up at our presence until our passing over;
Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan hamma isin gamatti ceetanitti fuuluma keessan duratti Yordaanos gogsee tureetii. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma hamma nu ceenutti Galaana Diimaa fuula keenya duratti gogse sana Yordaanosiinis gogse.
24 so that all the people of the land know the hand of YHWH—that it [is] strong, so that you have feared your God YHWH [for] all the days.”
Innis akka sabni lafaa hundinuu akka harki Waaqayyoo jabaa taʼe argisiisuu fi akka isinis yeroo hunda Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan sodaattaniif waan kana hojjete.”
