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.
Sesudah bangsa Israel seluruhnya menyeberangi sungai Yordan, TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua,
2 Take for yourselves from the people two [plus] ten men a man one a man one from a tribe.
“Pilihlah dua belas orang, satu dari setiap suku.
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.
Perintahkanlah kepada mereka, ‘Masing-masing ambillah sebuah batu besar dari tempat para imam sedang berdiri di tengah sungai Yordan. Bawalah batu-batu itu dan letakkanlah di tempat kita bermalam nanti.’”
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.
Lalu Yosua memanggil kedua belas orang terpilih itu
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.
dan berkata kepada mereka, “Masuklah ke tengah sungai Yordan, di mana peti perjanjian TUHAN berada. Kalian masing-masing haruslah mengambil dan memikul sebuah batu besar. Jadi, semuanya ada dua belas batu, sesuai jumlah suku Israel.
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.
Batu-batu itu selamanya akan mengingatkan bangsa Israel tentang apa yang TUHAN lakukan hari ini. Suatu hari nanti, bila anak cucu kalian bertanya tentang arti dari batu-batu ini, kalian akan memberitahu mereka bahwa batu-batu ini mengingatkan kita bagaimana sungai Yordan berhenti mengalir ketika peti perjanjian TUHAN dibawa menyeberang.”
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.
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.
Kedua belas orang itu melakukan sesuai dengan yang diperintahkan TUHAN melalui Yosua. Mereka mengambil dua belas batu dari tengah sungai Yordan, sesuai jumlah suku Israel, membawanya ke tempat perkemahan mereka, dan meletakkannya di sana.
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.
Yosua juga menyuruh orang untuk mendirikan dua belas batu di tengah-tengah sungai Yordan, di tempat para imam yang mengangkat peti perjanjian berdiri. Sampai kitab ini ditulis, batu-batu itu masih ada di sana.
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.
Para imam yang mengangkat peti perjanjian berdiri di tengah sungai Yordan sampai semua yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Yosua selesai dilakukan. Semua itu juga sesuai dengan segala yang Musa perintahkan kepada Yosua. Maka orang-orang Israel bergegas menyeberangi sungai itu,
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.
dan setelah semuanya menyeberang, para imam yang mengangkat peti perjanjian TUHAN berjalan lagi menyeberangi sungai itu disaksikan oleh semua orang Israel.
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.
Sesuai perintah Musa, pasukan bersenjata dari suku Ruben, suku Gad, dan separuh suku Manasye memimpin untuk menyeberang sungai itu.
13 About forty thousand armed [men] of war they passed over before Yahweh for battle to [the] plains of Jericho.
Pasukan bersenjata sebanyak empat puluh ribu orang pergi menyeberang ke dataran rendah di dekat kota Yeriko untuk berperang, dan TUHAN menyertai mereka.
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.
Pada hari itu TUHAN membuat Yosua dihormati oleh seluruh bangsa Israel sebagai seorang pemimpin, dan sepanjang hidupnya mereka menghormati dia sama seperti mereka menghormati Musa.
15 And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.
Kata TUHAN kepada Yosua,
16 Command the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the testimony so they may come up from the Jordan.
“Perintahkanlah para imam yang membawa peti perjanjian untuk keluar dari sungai Yordan.”
17 And he commanded Joshua the priests saying come up from the Jordan.
Yosua pun berkata kepada para imam, “Keluarlah dari sungai Yordan!”
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.
Begitu para imam yang membawa peti perjanjian TUHAN keluar dari sungai Yordan dan menginjak tepi sungai, air sungai Yordan mengalir kembali dan meluap seperti semula.
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.
Bangsa Israel menyeberangi sungai Yordan di hari ke sepuluh bulan pertama dan berkemah di Gilgal, di perbatasan timur kota Yeriko.
20 And two [plus] ten the stones these which they had taken from the Jordan he set up Joshua at Gilgal.
Di sana Yosua mendirikan kedua belas batu yang diambil dari sungai Yordan.
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.
Lalu katanya kepada orang Israel, “Bila kelak anak-cucu kalian menanyakan tentang arti dari batu-batu ini,
22 And you will make known to children your saying on the dry ground it passed over Israel the Jordan this.
beritahulah mereka bahwa bangsa Israel menyeberangi sungai Yordan di atas tanah yang kering.
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.
Karena TUHAN Allah kalian mengeringkan sungai Yordan sampai kalian semua menyeberangi sungai itu, sama seperti saat TUHAN Allah mengeringkan Laut Merah sampai kami semua menyeberanginya.
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.
TUHAN melakukan hal ini agar segala bangsa di dunia mengetahui betapa besarnya kuasa TUHAN, dan agar kalian takut dan hormat kepada TUHAN Allahmu selama-lamanya.”
