Iosua 4
1 A PAU ka lahuikanaka i ka hele i kela kapa o Ioredane, alaila olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i mai la,
When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,
2 E lawe oukou no oukou iho, i umi kanaka a me kumamalua, mailoko mai o ka poe kanaka, e pakahi ke kanaka i ka ohana hookahi.
“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,
3 A e kauoha aku ia lakou, penei, E lawe aku oukou, mailoko aku o Ioredane nei no kahi i ku ai na wawae o na kahuna, i na pohaku he umi a me kumamalua, a e lawe pu ia mau mea me oukou, a e waiho ma kahi a oukou e hoomoana'i i keia po.
and command them: ‘Take up for yourselves twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan where the priests were standing, carry them with you, and set them down in the place where you spend the night.’”
4 Hea aku la o Iosua i ka poe kanaka he umikumamalua, ana i hoomakaukau ai no na mamo a Iseraela, pakahi ke kanaka i ka ohana hookahi;
So Joshua summoned the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,
5 Olelo mai la o Iosua ia lakou, E hele ae oukou mamua o ka pahu o Iehova, o ko oukou Akua, maloko o Ioredane, a e lawe pakahi ke kanaka ma kona poohiwi i ka pohaku no oukou; e hoohalike i ka helu'na me na ohana o na mamo a Iseraela.
and said to them, “Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of Israel,
6 I lilo keia i hoailona no oukou, i ka wa e ninau mai ai ka oukou poe keiki mahope aku nei, i ka i ana mai, He mea aha keia mau pohaku ia oukou?
to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
7 Alaila, e hai aku oukou ia lakou, Ua hookaawaleia na wai o Ioredane imua o ka pahuberita o Iehova, I ka wa i hele ai ia maloko o Ioredane, ua hookaawaleia na wai o Ioredane; a e lilo no keia mau pohaku i hoailona mau loa e hoomanao ai na mamo a Iseraela.
you are to tell them, ‘The waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters were cut off.’ Therefore these stones will be a memorial to the Israelites forever.”
8 Hana iho la na mamo a Iseraela pela, e like me ka Iosua i kauoha mai ai, a lawe lakou i umikumamalua pohaku, mailoko mai o Ioredane, me ka olelo a Iehova ia Iosua, e like hoi me ka helu ana o na ohana o na mamo a Iseraela, a lawe pu ae la me lakou a hiki i kahi a lakou i moe ai, a waiho iho la malaila.
Thus the Israelites did as Joshua had commanded them. They took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, one for each tribe of Israel, just as the LORD had told Joshua; and they carried them to the camp, where they set them down.
9 Kukulu iho la o Iosua i umikumamalua pohaku maloko o Ioredane, ma kahi i ku ai na kapuwai o na kahuna, o ka poe lawe i ka pahuberita. Malaila no i waihoia'i ia mau mea a hiki loa mai i keia la.
Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant stood. And the stones are there to this day.
10 A o na kahuna, ka poe i lawe i ka pahu, ku malie lakou maloko o Ioredane, a pau i ka hanaia na mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Iosua e olelo mai i kanaka, e like hoi me na mea a pau a Mose i kauoha mai ai ia Iosua. Wikiwiki iho la na kanaka, a hele aku la i kela kapa.
Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until the people had completed everything the LORD had commanded Joshua to tell them, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried across,
11 A pau na kanaka i ka hele ae, alaila, hele ae la no ka pahu o Iehova, a me na kahuna imua o na kanaka.
and after everyone had finished crossing, the priests with the ark of the LORD crossed in the sight of the people.
12 A o na mamo a Reubena, a me na mamo a Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, hele makaukau lakou mamua o na mamo a Iseraela, e like me ka olelo a Mose ia lakou.
The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over before the Israelites, armed for battle as Moses had instructed them.
13 Hookahi kanaha tausani o ia puali makaukau i ke kaua, i hele ae imua o Iehova i ke kaua i na wahi papu o Ieriko.
About 40,000 troops armed for battle crossed over before the LORD into the plains of Jericho.
14 Ia la, hookiekie mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i na maka o ka Iseraela a pau, a makau no lakou ia ia i na la a pau o kona ola ana, me lakou i makau ai ia Mose.
On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they revered him all the days of his life, just as they had revered Moses.
15 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i mai la,
Then the LORD said to Joshua,
16 E kauoha ae oe i na kahuna, i ka poe i lawe i ka pahu kanawai, e pii lakou mailoko mai o Ioredane.
“Command the priests who carry the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
17 Kauoha mai la no o Iosua i na kahuna, i mai la, E pii mai oukou mailoko mai o Ioredane.
So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up from the Jordan.”
18 A i ka wa i pii aku ai na kahuna, ka poe i lawe i ka pahuberita o Iehova, mailoko mai o Ioredane, a pae na kapuwai o na kahuna ma kahi maloo, alaila, hoi hou na wai o Ioredane i ko lakou wahi, a kahe hou no maluna o kona kapa a pau, e like mamua.
When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up out of the Jordan and their feet touched the dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their course and overflowed all the banks as before.
19 Pii aku la na kanaka a pau, mailoko mai o Ioredane, i ka la umi o ka malama mua, a hoomoana iho la lakou ma Gilegala ma ka palena o Ieriko, aia ma ka hikina.
On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.
20 A o kela mau pohaku, he umikumamalua a lakou i lawe mai ai, mai Ioredane mai, kukulu iho la o Iosua ma Gilegala.
And there at Gilgal Joshua set up the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.
21 Olelo mai la ia i na mamo a Iseraela, i mai la, I ka wa e ninau mai ai ka oukou poe keiki i ko lakou makuakane mahope aku nei, i ka i ana mai, He mea aha keia mau pohaku?
Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their fathers, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’
22 Alaila, e hoike aku oukou i ka oukou poe keiki, me ka i ana aku, Ma kahi maloo i hele mai ai ka Iseraela, a hiki i keia aoao o Ioredane nei.
you are to tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’
23 No ka mea, ua hoomaloo mai o Iehova, ko oukou Akua i na wai o Ioredane, mamua o oukou, a pau oukou i ka hele ae, e like me ka Iehova ko oukou Akua i hana'i i ke Kaiula, i ka mea ana i hoomaloo ai mamua o kakou, a hala ae kakou;
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, just as He did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over.
24 I ike na kanaka a pau o ka honua nei i ka lima o Iehova, ua ikaika ia; i makau hoi oukou ia Iehova, i ko oukou Akua, i na la a pau loa.
He did this so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty, and so that you may always fear the LORD your God.”
