Joshua 4
1 And it cometh to pass, when all the nation hath completed to pass over the Jordan, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,
Kane ogendini duto otieko ngʼado aora Jordan, Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya,
2 'Take for you out of the people twelve men, one man — one man out of a tribe;
“Yier ji apar gariyo e kind jogi, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot,
3 and command ye them, saying, Take up for you from this [place], from the midst of the Jordan, from the established standing-place of the feet of the priests, twelve stones, and ye have removed them over with you, and placed them in the lodging-place in which ye lodge to-night.'
kendo ikonegi mondo gikaw kite apar gariyo e dier aora Jordan yo korachwich koma jodolo ochungoe kendo gitingʼ-gi mi giketgi piny kama gidhi dakie otieno ma kawuono.”
4 And Joshua calleth unto the twelve men whom he prepared out of the sons of Israel, one man — one man out of a tribe;
Omiyo Joshua noluongo ji apar gariyo mane oseyiero koa kuom jo-Israel, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot,
5 and Joshua saith to them, 'Pass over before the ark of Jehovah your God unto the midst of the Jordan and lift up for you each, one stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,
kendo nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru e nyim Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu nyaka uchop e dier aora Jordan. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka kaw kidi e goke, kaluwore gi kwan mar dhout Israel,
6 so that this is a sign in your midst, when your children ask hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones to you?
mondo obed kaka ranyisi e dieru. E ndalo mabiro, ka nyithindu openjou ni, ‘Kitegi nyiso angʼo?’
7 that ye have said to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off, at the presence of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; in its passing over into the Jordan were the waters of the Jordan cut off; and these stones have been for a memorial to the sons of Israel — to the age.'
To nyisgiuru kaka pi aora Jordan noduono kane Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye kadho. Kane ongʼad kode aora Jordan, to pige mag aora Jordan noduono. Kitegi mondo obed rapar ni jo-Israel nyaka chiengʼ.”
8 And the sons of Israel do so as Joshua commanded, and take up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah hath spoken unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and remove them over with them unto the lodging-place, and place them there,
Omiyo jo-Israel notimo kaka Joshua nochikogi. Negikawo kite apar gariyo koa e dier aora Jordan, kaluwore gi kwan mar dhout Israel, kaka Jehova Nyasaye nokone Joshua; kendo negitingʼogi nyaka kama negibuoroe, kanyo negiketogie piny.
9 even the twelve stones hath Joshua raised up out of the midst of the Jordan, the place of the standing of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, and they are there unto this day.
Joshua nochano kite apar gariyogo mane ni e dier aora Jordan kama jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok nosechungʼe kendo kitego pod ni kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.
10 And the priests bearing the ark are standing in the midst of the Jordan till the completion of the whole thing which Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, and the people haste and pass over.
Koro jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok nodongʼ kochungʼ e dier aora Jordan nyaka ji notieko timo gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiko Joshua, mana kaka Musa nochiko Joshua. Ji nokadho mapiyo nono kadhi,
11 And it cometh to pass when all the people have completed to pass over, that the ark of Jehovah passeth over, and the priests, in the presence of the people;
kendo bangʼ kane gisekadho giduto, eka jodolo bende nokadho modhi loka komachielo kotingʼo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye ka ji duto neno.
12 and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, pass over, by fifties, before the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them;
Jo-Reuben, jo-Gad kod nus mar dhood Manase nongʼado ka gimanore gi gige lweny e nyim jo-Israel, mana kaka Musa nosechikogi.
13 about forty thousand, armed ones of the host, passed over before Jehovah for battle, unto the plains of Jericho.
Ji madirom alufu piero angʼwen mane moikore ni lweny mondo gikedi, nongʼado loka kocha e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka e pewe mag Jeriko.
14 On that day hath Jehovah made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel, and they reverence him, as they reverenced Moses, all days of his life.
E odiechiengʼno, Jehova Nyasaye notingʼo Joshua malo e nyim jo-Israel, mi gimiye luor ndalo duto mag ngimane, mana kaka negimiyo Musa luor.
15 And Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya,
16 'Command the priests bearing the ark of the testimony, and they come up out of the Jordan.'
“Chik jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mondo giwuog oko mar aora Jordan.”
17 And Joshua commandeth the priests, saying, 'Come ye up out of the Jordan.'
Omiyo Joshua nochiwo chik ni jodolo niya, “Wuoguru oko mar aora Jordan.”
18 And it cometh to pass, in the coming up of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the midst of the Jordan — the soles of the feet of the priests have been drawn up into the dry ground — and the waters of the Jordan turn back to their place, and go as heretofore over all its banks.
Kendo jodolo nowuok oko e aora kotingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye. Kadiemo wangʼ kapok giketo tiendegi e lowo motwo, to pige mag aora Jordan noduogo e wangʼe mi ochako mol mogingore kaka chon.
19 And the people have come up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamp in Gilgal, in the extremity east of Jericho;
E odiechiengʼ mar apar gariyo mar dwe mokwongo, ji noa e aora Jordan mi ochokore Gilgal e tongʼ ma yo podho chiengʼ mar Jeriko.
20 and these twelve stones, which they have taken out of the Jordan, hath Joshua raised up in Gilgal.
Kendo Joshua nochungo kite apar gariyogo Gilgal, ma gin kite mane ogolo e aora Jordan.
21 And he speaketh unto the sons of Israel, saying, 'When your sons ask their fathers hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones?
Nowachone jo-Israel niya, “E ndalo mabiro ka nyikwau nopenj wuoneu ni, ‘Kitegi nyiso angʼo?’
22 then ye have caused your sons to know, saying, On dry land Israel passed over this Jordan;
To nyisgiuru ni, ‘Jo-Israel nongʼado aora Jordan kawuotho e lowo motwo.’
23 because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan at your presence, till your passing over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea which He dried up at our presence till our passing over;
Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu notwoyo aora Jordan e nyimu nyaka ukalo loka kocha. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu notimo ni aora Jordan mana gima notimone Nam Makwar e ndalo mane otwoye e nyimu nyaka ne ungʼado loka kocha.
24 so that all the people of the land do know the hand of Jehovah that it [is] strong, so that ye have reverenced Jehovah your God all the days.'
Notimo kamano mondo ji duto manie piny ongʼe ni lwet Jehova Nyasaye nigi teko kendo mondo omi uluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kinde duto.”
