Mgbe mba ahụ niile gafesịrị osimiri Jọdan, Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua okwu sị ya,
2 Chese thou twelue men,
“Site nʼetiti ndị ụmụ Izrel họpụta ndị ikom iri na abụọ, otu onye site nʼebo ọbụla,
3 by ech lynage o man, and comaunde thou to hem, that thei take fro the myddis of the trow of Jordan, where the `feet of preestis stoden, twelue hardiste stoonys; whiche thou schalt sette in the place of castels, where ye schulen sette tentis in this nyyt.
ka onye ọbụla nʼime ha site nʼebe ahụ ndị nchụaja guzoro nʼetiti osimiri Jọdan buputa otu nkume, otu nkume, gwa ha ka ha debe nkume ndị a ha buputara nʼebe unu ga-anọ ọnọdụ abalị taa.”
4 And Josue clepide twelue men, whiche he hadde chose of the sones of Israel, of ech lynage o man;
Ya mere, Joshua kpọrọ ndị ikom iri na abụọ ndị ahụ, ndị ọ họpụtara, site nʼetiti ndị Izrel, otu onye site nʼebo ọbụla,
5 and he seide to hem, Go ye bifore the arke of youre Lord God to the myddis of Jordan, and bere ye fro thennus in youre schuldris ech man o stoon, bi the noumbre of the sones of Israel,
Ọ gwara ha sị, “Sitenụ nʼetiti osimiri Jọdan, ebe ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu guzoro, buputa nkume. Onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-ebuputa otu nkume, tụkwasị nʼubu ya, dịka ọnụọgụgụ ebo Izrel niile si dị,
6 that it be a signe bitwixe you. And whanne youre sones schulen axe you to morewe, that is, in tyme `to comynge, and schulen seie, What wolen these stonus `to hem silf?
ka ha bụrụ ihe ịrịbama nʼetiti unu. Nʼoge dị nʼihu, mgbe ụmụ unu ga-ajụ unu ajụjụ sị, ‘Gịnị bụ isi ogidi nkume a dị nʼebe a?’
7 ye schulen answere to hem, The watris of Jordan failiden bifor the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, whanne the arke passide Jordan; therfor these stoonus ben set in to mynde of the sones of Israel, til in to withouten ende.
Unu ga-asịkwa ha, ‘Ọ bụ ihe na-echetara anyị otu osimiri Jọdan si kwụsị ịsọ, mgbe ndị bụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị zọnyere ụkwụ ha nʼosimiri ahụ.’ Nkume a ga-abụkwara ụmụ Izrel niile ihe ncheta ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
8 Therfor the sones of Israel diden as Josue comaundide to hem, and baren fro the myddis of the trow of Jordan twelue stoonys, as the Lord comaundide to hem, bi the noumbre of the sones of Israel, `til to the place in which thei settiden tentis; and there thei puttiden tho stonys.
Ụmụ Izrel mere dịka Joshua gwara ha. Ha buputara nkume iri na abụọ site nʼetiti osimiri Jọdan, dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye Joshua nʼiwu sị na otu onye, nʼebo Izrel ọbụla, ga-ebuputa otu nkume. Ha buuru nkume iri na abụọ ndị ahụ gaa nʼebe ha nọrọ ọnọdụ abalị, debe ha nʼebe ahụ.
9 Also Josue puttide othire twelue stoonys in the myddis of the trow of Jordan, where the preestis stoden, that baren the arke of boond of pees of the Lord; and tho stoonys ben there `til in to present dai.
Joshua nʼonwe ya kwa ji nkume iri na abụọ ahụ nke si nʼetiti osimiri Jọdan wuo ogidi ịrịbama, nʼebe ahụ ndị nchụaja bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ guzoro. Ha dịkwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa.
10 Forsothe the preestis, that baren the arke, stoden in the myddis of Jordan, til alle thingis weren fillid, whiche the Lord comaundide, that Josue schulde speke to the puple, as Moises hadde seide to hym. And the puple hastide, and passide.
Ndị nchụaja, ndị bụ igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, guzoro nʼetiti osimiri Jọdan, tutu ruo mgbe e mezuru iwu ahụ niile Onyenwe anyị nyere Joshua site nʼọnụ Mosis. Mgbe ahụ kwa, ndị Izrel mere ngwangwa gafee osimiri Jọdan.
11 And whanne alle men hadden passid, also the arke of the Lord passide, and the preestis yeden bifor the puple.
Ngwangwa ha niile gafetasịrị, igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị na ndị nchụaja gafetakwara nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ, ka ndị mmadụ na-ele ha anya.
12 Also the sones of Ruben, and of Gad, and half the lynage of Manasse, yeden armed bifor the sones of Israel, as Moyses comaundide to hem.
Ndị agha ụmụ Ruben, na ụmụ Gad, na ọkara ebo Manase, buuru ụmụ Izrel niile ụzọ gafee, idu ha nʼagha, dịka Mosis nyere ha nʼiwu.
13 And fourti thousynde of fiyters yeden bi her cumpanyes and gaderyngis on the pleyn and feeldi places of the citee of Jerico.
Ndị agha ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru iri puku anọ, ndị jikeere nke ọma ibu agha, duuru ebo ndị ọzọ, gafere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bata nʼobosara ala Jeriko maka ibu agha.
14 In that day the Lord magnyfiede Josue bifor al Israel, that thei schulden drede hym, as thei dreden Moises, while he lyuede yit.
Ụbọchị ahụ bụ ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị buliri Joshua elu nke ukwuu nʼihi na o mere Joshua ka ọ dị ukwuu nʼanya ndị Izrel niile, si otu a mee ka ha tụọ ya egwu nke ukwuu dịka ha si tụọ Mosis egwu, ma sọpụkwara ya ụbọchị niile nke ndụ ya.
15 And the Lord seide to Josue,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua okwu sị,
16 Comaunde thou to the preestis that beren the arke of boond of pees, that thei stie fro Jordan.
“Nye ndị nchụaja, ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ iwu ka ha si nʼosimiri Jọdan pụta.”
17 And Josue comaundide to hem, and seide, Stie ye fro Jordan.
Ya mere Joshua nyere ndị nchụaja iwu sị ha, “Sitenụ nʼosimiri Jọdan pụta.”
18 And whanne thei hadden stied, berynge the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, and hadde bigunne to trede on the drie erthe, the watris turneden ayen in to her trowe, and flowiden, as tho weren wont before.
Mgbe ndị nchụaja bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ si nʼosimiri Jọdan rịpụta, dịka ọbụ ụkwụ ha na-emetụ nʼala akọrọ, mmiri osimiri ahụ sọghachiri nʼọnọdụ ya ruchie akụkụ ya niile, ka ọ dị na mbụ.
19 Forsothe the puple stiede fro Jordan in the tenthe dai of the firste monethe, and thei settiden tentis in Galgalis, ayens the eest coost of the citee of Jerico.
Ihe ịrịbama a mere nʼụbọchị nke iri, nʼọnwa nke mbụ. Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka ndị Izrel niile gafere osimiri Jọdan, gaa maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Gilgal, ebe dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ obodo Jeriko.
20 Also Josue puttide in Galgalis the twelue stonys, whiche thei hadden take fro the trow of Jordan.
Nkume iri na abụọ ahụ ha si nʼosimiri Jọdan buputa, ka Joshua guzobere na Gilgal.
21 And he seide to the sones of Israel, Whanne youre sones schulen axe to morewe her fadris, and schulen seie to hem, What wolen these stoonys `to hem silf?
Ọ sịrị ndị Izrel, “Nʼoge dị nʼihu, mgbe ụmụ unu ga-ajụ ndị bụ nna ha ajụjụ sị, ‘Gịnị ka nkume ndị a pụtara, Gịnịkwa ka ha na-egosi?’
22 ye schulen teche hem, and ye schulen seie, We passiden this Jordan bi the drie botme,
Gwa ha, ‘Izrel gafere osimiri Jọdan nʼala akọrọ.’
23 for oure Lord God driede the watris therof in oure siyt, til we passiden, as he dide bifore in the Reed See, which he driede while we passiden,
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu mere ka osimiri Jọdan takpọọ nʼihu unu tutu ruo mgbe unu gafesịrị nʼofe nke ọzọ. Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu mere osimiri Jọdan ihe o mere osimiri Uhie mgbe o mere ka osimiri Uhie takpọọ nʼihu anyị, tutu ruo mgbe anyị gafesịrị nʼofe ya nke ọzọ.
24 that alle the puplis of londis lurne the strongeste hond of the Lord, that also ye drede youre Lord God in al tyme.
O mere ihe ndị a niile ka ndị niile bi nʼelu ụwa mata na aka Onyenwe anyị dị ike. O mekwara ya ka unu onwe unu tụọ egwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, mgbe niile.”
