Joshua 4
1 It happened, when all the nation had completely passed over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
Naho fa hene tafatsàke Iardeney i valobohòkey, le nitsara ty hoe am’ Iehosoa t’Iehovà:
2 "Take twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
Rambeso ondaty folo-ro’ amby boak’ am’ ondatioo; songa ondaty raike ze fifokoañe,
3 and command them, saying, 'Take up for yourselves from here, from the middle of the Jordan from the place where the feet of the priests stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging place, where you will lodge tonight.'"
le ifantoho ty hoe: Mandrambesa vato folo-ro’amby boak’ am’ Iardeney ao, amy ijohañam-pandia’ i mpisoroñe reiy, naho endeso hitsake mindre ama’ areo vaho apoho amy tobe hialeña’ areo te anitoy.
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
Aa le kinanji’ Iehosoa indaty folo-ro’amby nedre’e amo ana’ Israeleo rey; sindre ondaty raike ze fifokoa’e.
5 Joshua said to them, "Pass over before me in the presence of the ark of Jehovah your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you pick up a stone and put it on your shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ iereo, Mitsàha aolo’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areoy an-teñateña’ Iardeney vaho songa mandrambesa vato raik’ an-tsoro’e ty ami’ ty ia’ o fifokoa’ o ana’ Israeleoo;
6 that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in time to come, saying, 'What do you mean by these stones?'
ho viloñe ama’ areo, aa naho mañontane anahareo o ana’ areoo amy añey, ty hoe: Inoñ’ ama’ areo o vato retoañeo?
7 then you shall tell them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.'"
Le ty hoe ty hatalili’ areo: Amy te nitampak’ aolo’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày o rano Iardeneio; ie nitsake Iardeney, le nitampake o rano’ Iardeneio; vaho ho faniahiañe o ana’ Israeleo nainai’e o vato retoañe.
8 The children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as Jehovah spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
Aa le nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo i namantoha’ Iehosoay, naho rinambe’ iereo ty vato folo-ro’ amby boak’ anteñateña’ Iardeney ao, ty amy tsinara’ Iehovà am’ Iehosoay, ty ami’ty ia’ o fifokoa’ o ana’ Israeleo, naho nendese’ iereo nitsake mindre am’ iereo mb’ an-tobe mb’eo vaho napo’ iereo ey.
9 Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.
Natroa’ Iehosoa añivo’ Iardeney ka ty vato folo-ro’ amby amy nijohañam-pandia’ i mpisoroñe nitarazo i vatam-pañinay rey vaho mbe eo izay henaneo.
10 For the priests who bore the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and passed over.
Aa le nijohañe añivo’ Iardeney o mpisoroñe nitarazo i vataio ampara’ te niheneke i nampitaroñe’ Iehovà Iehosoa am’ ondatioy ty amy nandilia’ i Mosè Iehosoa iabiy; vaho nalisa nitsake mb’eo ondatio.
11 It happened, when all the people had completely passed over, that the ark of Jehovah passed over, with the priests, in the presence of the people.
Naho fa tafatsàke ondaty iabio, le nitsake ka i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey naho i mpisoroñe rey añatrefa’ ondatio.
12 The descendants of Reuben, and the descendants of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke to them.
Nitsake reke-pialiañe aolo’ o ana’ Israeleo o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy ty amy nisaontsie’ i Mosè am’ iereoy;
13 About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war passed over before Jehovah to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
va’e efats’ ale reke-pialiañe veka’e hialy ty nionjoñe mb’an-kotakotak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà, mb’a monto’ Ieriko mb’eo.
14 On that day, Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
Naonjo’ Iehovà ampahaoniña’ Israele iaby t’Iehosoa amy andro zay; vaho nañeveñe ama’e manahake ty nañeveña’ iareo amy Mosè amo hene andro niveloma’eo.
15 Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
Nitsara amy Iehosoa t’Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
16 "Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan."
Ampitroaro boak’ am’ Iardeney o mpisoroñe mitarazo i vatam-pañinaio.
17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, "Come up out of the Jordan."
Aa le nandily amy mpisoroñe rey t’Iehosoa, nanao ty hoe: Mitroara amo Iardeneio.
18 It happened, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before.
Naho niakatse boak’ an-teñateña’ Iardene ao i mpisoroñe rey nitarazo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày, vata’e nitroatse an-tamboho eo o lelam-pandia’ i mpisoroñe reio le nimpoly an-toe’e o rano’ Iardeneio, nanginahina añ’olo’e iabio manahake te taolo.
19 The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.
Nitroatse Iardeney amy andro faha-folo’ i volam-baloha’eiy ondatio vaho nitobe e Gilgale an-dafe atiñana’ Ieriko eo.
20 Joshua set up those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, in Gilgal.
Le natroa’ Iehosoa e Gilgale eo i vato folo-ro’amby nakare’ iareo am’ Iardeney rey;
21 He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What do these stones mean?'
vaho nitaroñe’e amo ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Aa naho añontanea’ o ana’ areoo an-droae’e añ’ andro añe ty hoe: Ino o vato retoañe?
22 Then you shall let your children know, saying, 'Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
le hampandrendrehe’ areo o ana’ areoo ty hoe: Nitsake Iardeney an-tane mipintampintañe t’Israele.
23 For Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until you had passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;
Amy te nimaihe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo aolo’ areo ty rano Iardene ampara’ t’ie tafatsàke, manahake ty nanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo i Ria-Binday, ie nimaihe’e añatrefan-tikañe ampara’ te tafatsake,
24 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that you may fear Jehovah your God forever.'"
hahafohina’ ze kila ondati’ ty tane toy te maozatse ty fità’ Iehovà, hañeveña’e am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo nainai’e.
