Joshua 4
1 When all the nation had completely crossed over the Jordan, the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
Nígbà tí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè náà kọjá nínú odò Jordani tan, Olúwa sọ fún Joṣua pé,
2 “Take twelve men out of the people, a man out of every tribe,
“Yan ọkùnrin méjìlá nínú àwọn ènìyàn, ẹnìkan nínú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan,
3 and command them, saying, ‘Take from out of the middle of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, carry them over with you, and lay them down in the place where you’ll camp tonight.’”
kí o sì pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ gbé òkúta méjìlá láti àárín odò Jordani ní ibi tí àwọn àlùfáà dúró sí, kí ẹ sì rù wọn kọjá, kí ẹ sì gbé wọn sí ibi tí ẹ̀yin yóò sùn ní alẹ́ yìí.’”
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua pe àwọn ọkùnrin méjìlá tí ó ti yàn nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ẹnìkan nínú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan,
5 Joshua said to them, “Cross before the ark of the LORD 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;
ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ kọjá lọ ní iwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín sí àárín odò Jordani. Kí olúkúlùkù yín gbé òkúta kọ̀ọ̀kan lé èjìká a rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ẹ̀yà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli,
6 that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’
kí ó sì jẹ́ àmì láàrín yín. Ní ọjọ́ iwájú, nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ yín bá béèrè lọ́wọ́ yín pé, ‘Kí ni òkúta wọ̀nyí dúró fún?’
7 then you shall tell them, ‘Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the LORD’s covenant. When it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.’”
Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò dá wọn lóhùn pé, nítorí a gé omi odò Jordani kúrò ní iwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Nígbà tí a rékọjá a Jordani, a gé omi Jordani kúrò. Àwọn òkúta wọ̀nyí yóò sì jẹ́ ìrántí fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láéláé.”
8 The children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as the LORD spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel. They carried them over with them to the place where they camped, and laid them down there.
Báyìí ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe bí Joṣua ti pàṣẹ fún wọn. Wọ́n gbé òkúta méjìlá láti àárín odò Jordani gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ẹ̀yà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, bí Olúwa ti sọ fún Joṣua; wọ́n sì rù wọ́n kọjá lọ sí ibùdó, ní ibi tí wọ́n ti gbé wọn kalẹ̀.
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.
Joṣua sì to òkúta méjìlá náà sí àárín odò Jordani fún ìrántí ní ọ̀kánkán ibi tí àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí dúró sí. Wọ́n sì wà níbẹ̀ di òní yìí.
10 For the priests who bore the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and passed over.
Àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí náà dúró ní àárín Jordani títí gbogbo nǹkan tí Olúwa pàṣẹ fún Joṣua fi di ṣíṣe nípasẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ti pàṣẹ fún Joṣua. Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì yára kọjá,
11 When all the people had completely crossed over, the LORD’s ark crossed over with the priests in the presence of the people.
bí gbogbo wọn sì ti rékọjá tán, ni àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa àti àwọn àlùfáà wá sí òdìkejì. Bí àwọn ènìyàn sì ti ń wò wọ́n.
12 The children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke to them.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Reubeni, Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase náà sì rékọjá ní ìhámọ́ra ogun níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ti pàṣẹ fún wọn.
13 About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war, passed over before the LORD to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Àwọn bí ọ̀kẹ́ méjì tó ti múra fún ogun rékọjá lọ ní iwájú Olúwa sí pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Jeriko láti jagun.
14 On that day, the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Olúwa gbé Joṣua ga ní ojú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, wọ́n sì bẹ̀rù u rẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé e wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti bẹ̀rù Mose.
15 The LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
Olúwa sì sọ fún Joṣua pé,
16 “Command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, that they come up out of the Jordan.”
“Pàṣẹ fún àwọn àlùfáà tí o ń ru àpótí ẹ̀rí, kí wọn kí ó jáde kúrò nínú odò Jordani.”
17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, “Come up out of the Jordan!”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua pàṣẹ fún àwọn àlùfáà pé, “Ẹ jáde kúrò nínú odò Jordani.”
18 When the priests who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant had come up out of the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet had been lifted up to the dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before.
Àwọn àlùfáà náà jáde láti inú odò pẹ̀lú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa ni orí wọn. Bí wọ́n ti fi ẹsẹ̀ ẹ wọn tẹ orí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ ni omi Jordani náà padà sí ààyè e rẹ̀, o sì kún wọ bèbè bí i ti àtẹ̀yìnwá.
19 The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹwàá oṣù kìn-ín-ní àwọn ènìyàn náà lọ láti Jordani, wọ́n sì dúró ní Gilgali ní ìlà-oòrùn Jeriko.
20 Joshua set up those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, in Gilgal.
Joṣua sì to àwọn òkúta méjìlá tí wọ́n mú jáde ní Jordani jọ ní Gilgali.
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?’
Ó sì sọ fún àwọn ará Israẹli, “Ní ọjọ́ iwájú nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ yín bá béèrè ní ọwọ́ baba wọn pé, ‘Kín ni òkúta wọ̀nyí dúró fún?’
22 Then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
Nígbà náà ni ẹ ó jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ yín mọ̀ pé, ‘Israẹli rékọjá odò Jordani ní orí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.’
23 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you until you had crossed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had crossed over,
Nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mú Jordani gbẹ ní iwájú u yín títí ẹ̀yin fi kọjá. Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti ṣe sí Jordani gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe sí Òkun Pupa, nígbà tí ó mú un gbẹ ní iwájú wa títí àwa fi kọjá.
24 that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD’s hand is mighty, and that you may fear the LORD your God forever.’”
Ó ṣe èyí kí gbogbo ayé lè mọ̀ pé ọwọ́ Olúwa ní agbára, àti kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè máa bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ní ìgbà gbogbo.”
