< Joshua 4 >

1 When all the people crossed over the Jordan, Yahweh said to Joshua,
Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da Yodane Hano degei dagoloba, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i,
2 “Choose twelve men for yourselves from among the people, one man from each tribe.
“Dunu fagoyale, Isala: ili fi fagoyale amoga afae afae amo ilegema.
3 Give them this command: 'Take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan where the priests are standing on the dry ground, and bring them over with you and lay them down in the place where you will spend the night tonight.'”
Ilia da igi fagoyale Yodane Hano dogoa gobele salasu dunu ilia lelu sogebi gala, amo lale dilia wali gasia esalebego amoga legema: ne sia: ma.”
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had chosen from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.
Amalalu, Yosiua da dunu fagoyale gala e da ilegei, ilima misa: ne sia: i.
5 Joshua said to them, “Go over before the ark of Yahweh your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel.
E da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo bisili, Yodane Hano amo ganodini masa. Dilia afae afae igi gisa masa. Amo da Isala: ili fi fagoyale gala afae afae igi afae gala.
6 This will be a sign in your midst for you when your children ask in days to come, 'What do these stones mean to you?'
Amo igi ba: sea, Isala: ili dunu da Hina Gode Ea hamoi amo bu dawa: mu. Hobea, dilia mano da amo igi gilisi ea bai amo dilima adole ba: sea,
7 Then you will say to them, 'The waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones will be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.'”
dilia da amo bai olelemu, amo Isala: ili fi amola Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da hano degemusa: dawa: loba, hano ea ahoabe da yolesi dagoi. Isala: ili dunu da amo igi ba: sea, ilia da guiguda: hou amo dawa: lalumu.”
8 The people of Israel did just as Joshua commanded, and they picked up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, as Yahweh said to Joshua. They set the stones up according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel. They carried the stones with them, over to the place where they camped and they set them down there.
Dunu ilegei da Yosiua ea sia: nabi. Hina Gode da Yosiuama sia: i amo defele, ilia da igi fagoyale gala (Isala: ili fi afae afae igi afae gala) amo Yodane Hano dogoa lale, ilia golamu sogebi amoga gisa asili ligisi.
9 Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan River, in the place where the feet of the priests that carried the ark of the covenant stood. The memorial is there to this day.
Amola Yosiua da igi fagoyale gala eno amo gobele salasu ilia Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli lelu sogebi Yodane Hano dogoa amoga legesu. (Amo igi da wali amogawi diala.)
10 The priests that carried the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan until everything that Yahweh commanded Joshua to tell the people was completed, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people hurried and they crossed over.
Gobele salasu dunu da Yodane Hano dogoa liligi huluane Hina Gode da Yosiua Isala: ili dunuma hamoma: ne sia: i, amo hamoi dagoi. Ilia da Yodane Hano dogoa ba: musa: lelu. Mousese da amo hou hamoma: ne sia: i. Dunu huluane da hedolo degei dagoi.
11 When all the people had finished crossing over, the ark of Yahweh and the priests crossed over before the people.
Ilia da huluane na: iyado bega: doaga: loba, gobele salasu dunu da dunu eno bisili, Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo gaguli asi.
12 The tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh passed before the people of Israel formed up as an army, just as Moses said to them.
Mousese ea sia: i defele, Liubene fi, Ga: de fi amola Mana: se fi la: idi ilia da gegesu liligi gaguli, dunu eno bisili degei.
13 About forty thousand men equipped for war passed before Yahweh, for battle on the plains of Jericho.
Hina Gode ba: ma: ne dunu 40,000 ilia gegesu liligi gaguli, Yodane Hano degele, umi soge Yeligou moilai bai bagade gadenene amoga doaga: i.
14 On that day Yahweh made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel. They honored him—just as they honored Moses— all his days.
Hina Gode da amo eso hou hamobeba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Yosiua da gasa bagade mimogo dunu dawa: i. E da esalea, ilia da Mousesema dawa: i defele, Yosiuama nodosu.
15 Then Yahweh spoke to Joshua,
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i,
16 “Command the priests who carry the ark of the testimony to come up out of the Jordan.”
“Gobele salasu dunu amo da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli ahoa, ilima ilia da Yodane Hano fisili osoboga heda: ma: ne sia: ma.”
17 So, Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.”
Yosiua da agoane sia: i.
18 When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came up out of the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of their feet were lifted up out on dry ground, then the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed its banks, just as they were four days before.
Gobele salasu dunu da hano bega: doaga: le heda: loba, hano da bu ahoasu amola bu bagade nedei.
19 The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month. They stayed in Gilgal, east of Jericho.
Eso nabuga amola oubi age amoga, Isala: ili dunu da Yodane Hano degele, Giliga: le soge (Yeligou moilai bai bagade amo ea eso mabadi la: idi gala) amoga ilia abula diasu gaguli gagai.
20 The twelve stones that they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.
Amogawi Yosiua da igi fagoyale gala e Yodane Hanoga lai, amo legei.
21 He said to the people of Israel, “When your descendants ask their fathers in times to come, 'What are these stones?'
E da Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: i, “Hobea dilia mano da amo igi ilia bai dilima adole ba: sea,
22 Tell your children, 'This is where Israel crossed over the Jordan on dry ground.'
dilia da esoha amoga Isala: ili dunu da Yodane Hano amo osobo hafoga: i amoga degei ilima olelema.
23 Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you, until you had crossed over, just as Yahweh your God did to the Sea of Reeds, which he dried up for us until we passed over,
Dilia Hina Gode da Maga: me Hano Wayabo amo hafoga: i, amo defele Yodane Hano dili degema: ne hafoga: i, amo ilima olelema.
24 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of Yahweh is mighty, and that you will honor Yahweh your God forever.”
Amo hou ba: beba: le, osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane da Hina Gode Ea gasa bagade hou dawa: mu, amola dilia da mae fisili eso huluane dilia Hina Godema nodonanumu.”
