Joshua 4
1 And it was just when they had finished all the nation to pass over the Jordan. And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.
國民盡都過了約旦河，耶和華就對約書亞說：
2 Take for yourselves from the people two [plus] ten men a man one a man one from a tribe.
「你從民中要揀選十二個人，每支派一人，
3 And command them saying take up for yourselves from here from [the] middle of the Jordan from [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests to make firm two [plus] ten stones and you will take over them with you and you will set down them at the lodging place which you will stay at it this night.
吩咐他們說：『你們從這裏，從約旦河中、祭司腳站定的地方，取十二塊石頭帶過去，放在你們今夜要住宿的地方。』」
4 And he called Joshua to two [plus] the ten man whom he had appointed from [the] people of Israel a man one a man one from a tribe.
於是，約書亞將他從以色列人中所預備的那十二個人，每支派一人，都召了來。
5 And he said to them Joshua pass over before [the] ark of Yahweh God your into [the] middle of the Jordan and take up for yourselves each a stone one on shoulder his to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel.
對他們說：「你們下約旦河中，過到耶和華－你們上帝的約櫃前頭，按着以色列人十二支派的數目，每人取一塊石頭扛在肩上。
6 So that it may be this a sign in midst your if they will ask! children your tomorrow saying what? [are] the stones these to you.
這些石頭在你們中間可以作為證據。日後，你們的子孫問你們說：『這些石頭是甚麼意思？』
7 And you will say to them that they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan from before [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh when passed on it in the Jordan they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan and they will become the stones these a reminder to [the] people of Israel until perpetuity.
你們就對他們說：『這是因為約旦河的水在耶和華的約櫃前斷絕；約櫃過約旦河的時候，約旦河的水就斷絕了。這些石頭要作以色列人永遠的紀念。』」
8 And they did thus [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Joshua and they took up two [plus] ten stones from [the] middle of the Jordan just as he had said Yahweh to Joshua to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel and they took over them with them to the lodging place and they set down them there.
以色列人就照約書亞所吩咐的，按着以色列人支派的數目，從約旦河中取了十二塊石頭，都遵耶和華所吩咐約書亞的行了。他們把石頭帶過去，到他們所住宿的地方，就放在那裏。
9 And two [plus] ten stones he set up Joshua in [the] middle of the Jordan in [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the covenant and they have been there until the day this.
約書亞另把十二塊石頭立在約旦河中，在抬約櫃的祭司腳站立的地方；直到今日，那石頭還在那裏。
10 And the priests [the] bearers of the ark [were] standing in [the] middle of the Jordan until was finished every thing which he had commanded Yahweh Joshua to speak to the people according to all that he had commanded Moses Joshua and they hurried the people and they passed over.
抬約櫃的祭司站在約旦河中，等到耶和華曉諭約書亞吩咐百姓的事辦完了，是照摩西所吩咐約書亞的一切話。 於是百姓急速過去了。
11 And it was just when it had finished all the people to pass over and it passed over [the] ark of Yahweh and the priests before the people.
眾百姓盡都過了河，耶和華的約櫃和祭司就在百姓面前過去。
12 And they passed over [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad and [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh arrayed for battle before [the] people of Israel just as he had spoken to them Moses.
呂便人、迦得人、瑪拿西半支派的人都照摩西所吩咐他們的，帶着兵器在以色列人前頭過去。
13 About forty thousand armed [men] of war they passed over before Yahweh for battle to [the] plains of Jericho.
約有四萬人都準備打仗，在耶和華面前過去，到耶利哥的平原，等候上陣。
14 On the day that he made great Yahweh Joshua in [the] eyes of all Israel and they feared him just as they had feared Moses all [the] days of life his.
當那日，耶和華使約書亞在以色列眾人眼前尊大。在他平生的日子，百姓敬畏他，像從前敬畏摩西一樣。
15 And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.
耶和華曉諭約書亞說：
16 Command the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the testimony so they may come up from the Jordan.
「你吩咐抬法櫃的祭司從約旦河裏上來。」
17 And he commanded Joshua the priests saying come up from the Jordan.
約書亞就吩咐祭司說：「你們從約旦河裏上來。」
18 And it was (just as came up *Q(K)*) the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh from [the] middle of the Jordan they were drawn out [the] soles of [the] feet of the priests to the dry ground and they returned [the] waters of the Jordan to place their and they went as yesterday three days ago over all banks its.
抬耶和華約櫃的祭司從約旦河裏上來，腳掌剛落旱地，約旦河的水就流到原處，仍舊漲過兩岸。
19 And the people they went up from the Jordan on the ten of the month first and they encamped at Gilgal on [the] edge of [the] east of Jericho.
正月初十日，百姓從約旦河裏上來，就在吉甲，在耶利哥的東邊安營。
20 And two [plus] ten the stones these which they had taken from the Jordan he set up Joshua at Gilgal.
他們從約旦河中取來的那十二塊石頭，約書亞就立在吉甲，
21 And he said to [the] people of Israel saying that they will ask! children your tomorrow fathers their saying what? [are] the stones these.
對以色列人說：「日後你們的子孫問他們的父親說：『這些石頭是甚麼意思？』
22 And you will make known to children your saying on the dry ground it passed over Israel the Jordan this.
你們就告訴他們說：『以色列人曾走乾地過這約旦河；
23 That he dried up Yahweh God your [the] waters of the Jordan from before you until had passed over you just as he did Yahweh God your to [the] sea of reed[s] which he dried up from before us until had passed over we.
因為耶和華－你們的上帝在你們前面使約旦河的水乾了，等着你們過來，就如耶和華－你們的上帝從前在我們前面使紅海乾了，等着我們過來一樣，
24 So as to know all [the] peoples of the earth [the] hand of Yahweh that [is] mighty it so that you may fear Yahweh God your all the days.
要使地上萬民都知道，耶和華的手大有能力，也要使你們永遠敬畏耶和華－你們的上帝。』」
