Zosua 4
1 Hanki maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Jodani tima takahe vagaretazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne,
After all the people of the Israeli nation had finished crossing the Jordan [River], Yahweh said to Joshua,
2 Israeli vahepintira 12fu'a vahe zamagi hinke'za eho. Hagi mago'mago naga nofipintira magoke etere hanagenka,
“When you choose the twelve men, one from each tribe, whom I mentioned previously, tell them to pick up [large] stones from the middle of the Jordan riverbed, where the priests are [still] standing.
3 Jodani timofo amu'nompima pristi vahe'mo'zama zamagama re'za oti'nareti 12fu'a zamente zamente havea ome erita vuta, seli noma kita meni kenage'ma masesaza kumate omenteho hunka zamasamio.
Tell them to carry the stones with you and put them down at the place where you will stay tonight.”
4 Higeno Josua'a Israeli naga nofipinti mago mago zamagi hutere huno 12fu'a vahe'ma huhampri'nea nagara kehige'za e'naze.
So Joshua chose twelve men, one from each tribe. He called them together, and said to them,
5 Hagi Josua'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ete Jodani timpi uramita Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima eri'za oti'naza pristi vahe'mokizmi zamagiafinti 12fu'a naga'motma naga nofitamire huhampritere hutma mago'mago havea atita tamafunte erita eho.
“Go into the middle of the Jordan riverbed, to [where the priests are standing, holding] the chest that Yahweh, your God, gave you. Each of you must pick up a [large] stone, one for each tribe, [and carry it] on your shoulder [to our camp].
6 Hanki henkama tamagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza mofavremo'za ana haveramima nege'za, ama avame'zana nagafare me'ne? hu'za tamantahigesageta,
[Then pile them up] to be a memorial for you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean?’,
7 tamagra amanage hutma zamasamiho, Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima eri'za Jodani timpima azageno'ma tanege'zama hagege mopare'ma takahe'nazagu, Israeli vahe'mo'zama nege'za antahimi vava hanaza avame'za me'ne huta zmasamigahaze.
tell them that the water in the Jordan River was blocked off when the priests were carrying the chest [that contained] the Ten Commandments that Yahweh [gave us]. When the chest was carried into the Jordan [River], the water was blocked off [so that we could cross the riverbed]. These stones will be a memorial for the descendants of us Israeli people forever.”
8 Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma Josua'ma asami'nea kante ante'za, Jodani timofo amu'nompinti Israeli naga'nofite huhampri'za mago'mago have atitere hu'za ana maka 12fu'a havea eri'za, vu'za kuma'ma ome ante'za masazare anante ome ante'naze.
So those Israeli men did what Joshua told them to do. They went and picked up twelve [large] stones from the middle of the Jordan [riverbed], one stone for each of the tribes, just as Yahweh had told Joshua. They carried the stones to their camp and put them down.
9 Hanki Josua'a agranena 12fu'a have erino Jodani timofo amu'nompima Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima pristi vahe'mo'zama eri'ne'zama oti'nazare magopi ante atru higeno meno eno ama knarera ehanati'ne.
Then Joshua set up twelve [other large] stones [in a pile], in the middle of the Jordan [riverbed], where the priests who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments were standing. And those stones are still there.
10 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima eri'naza pristi vahe'mo'za Jodani timofo amu'nompi oti'nazageno, ana maka zama Ra Anumzamo'ene Mosese'enema Josuama asamike, huo huke hunte'na'a zana, ana maka huvagare'naze. Hige'za Israeli naga'mo'za ame'ama hu'za Jodani tina takahe'za kantu kaziga vu'naze.
The priests who carried the chest remained standing in the middle of the Jordan [riverbed] until the people had finished doing everything that Yahweh had commanded Joshua to tell them to do. Those were the same instructions that Moses had given to Joshua. The Israeli people crossed [the riverbed] quickly.
11 Hanki maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Jodani tima takahe'za kama kazigama eme oti vagarazage'za, timpintira Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia pristi naga'mo'za eri'za ome zamagatere'za zamavuga evu oti'naze.
As soon as all of them had crossed, as the people watched, the priests carried the chest [the rest of the way across the river].
12 Hagi Rubeni naga'ma Gati naga'ma Manase naga'ma amu'nompinti refko hu'naza naga'mo'zane ha'ma huga vahe'amozage Israeli naga'mokizmi zamavuga ha'zana tro tra hu'za, Mosese'ma zamasami'nea kante ante'za ugote'za vu'naze.
The soldiers of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and of half of the soldiers of the tribe of Manasseh, crossed over ahead of the rest of the Israeli people, carrying their weapons, as Moses had commanded.
13 Anampina 40 tauseni'a naza ha'ma huga vahera Ra Anumzamofo avurera vu'za, Jeriko tavaonte mago agupo me'nefi vu'naze.
As Yahweh was watching, there were about 40,000 of those soldiers, carrying weapons ready for battle, who crossed the riverbed to the plains near Jericho, [ready] to fight.
14 Ana knazupa Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe zamavufi Josuana azeri ante'ama hige'za, Mosesenkema antahimi'nazaza hu'za Josu'ana ke'a antahimi'naze.
On that day, all the people of Israel saw that Yahweh had caused Joshua to be a great leader. And they honored Joshua for the rest of his life, just as they had honored Moses.
15 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne,
Yahweh said to Joshua,
16 Zamasamige'za huhagerafi huvempage vogisima e'neri'za pristi vahe'mo'za Jodani timpintira atre'za ankenarega emareriho.
“[Now] tell the priests who are carrying the chest containing the Ten Commandments to come up from the Jordan [riverbed].”
17 Higeno Josua'a pristi nagara huzamanteno, Jodani timpintira atreta ankenarega atiramita eho.
So Joshua commanded the priests to do that.
18 Anagema hige'za Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima eri'za oti'naza pristi vahe'mo'za, Jodani timofo amu'nompintira atre'za ankenarega e'za, timpinti'ma zamagiama erisga hu'za mopare'ma razageno'a, Jodani timo'a ete hageno ko'ma hu'neaza huno evu'ne.
Then the priests, carrying the chest containing the Ten Commandments that Yahweh [had given to Moses], came up out of the riverbed. And as soon as they walked up out of the riverbed onto the riverbank, the water of the Jordan [River] flowed again, and flooded [over the river banks] as it had done before.
19 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ese ikamofona 10ni knazupa Jodani tina takamahe'za kantu kazigama vute'za, Jeriko kuma'mofona zage hanati kaziga Gilgalie nehazare ome kumara ante'naze.
It was on the tenth day of the first month [of that year] that the people crossed over the Jordan [River] and camped at [a place called] Gilgal, on the east side of [the land near] Jericho [city].
20 Hanki 12fu'a havema Jodani timpinti'ma ati'zama eri'za e'naza haveramina, Gilgalie nehazare ana haveramina Josua'a magopi eri ante atru hu'ne.
The men [who were carrying] the twelve [large] stones from the Jordan [riverbed brought them to] Joshua, [and he] set them up at Gilgal
21 Ana nehuno Israeli vahe'mokizmia amanage huno zamasami'ne, henkama fore'ma hanaza mofavremo'zama zamafahe'ima zamantahige'zma, ama haveramina nagafare mane'ne? hu'zama zamantahigesage'za,
Joshua said to the Israeli people, “In the future, when your children and grandchildren ask, ‘(What do these stones [mean/Why are these stones here)]?’,
22 amanage hu'za zamasamiho, Israeli vahe'mo'za Jodani timo'ma hihima huno marerigeno mopamo hagegema hu'nege'za takahe'za e'naza zanku negeta antahimi avame'za me'ne hu'za zmasamigahaze.
tell them, ‘We Israeli people crossed the Jordan [River as though we were crossing] on dry ground.
23 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo Koranke Hagerima hu'neaza huno Jodani tina eri hagege higeta, hagege mopare takaheta evagare'none.
As we were watching, Yahweh, your God, dried up the river until we had all crossed over. Yahweh, the God whom we worship, did to the Jordan [River] just like he did to the Red Sea, when he caused it to become dry as [our parents] were watching, until they all crossed over it.
24 E'ina hu'negu ama mopafi maka vahe'mo'zama ke'za antahi'zama hanazana, Ra Anumzamofo azamo'a hanavenentake hu'ne nehanageta, tamagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofonke maka zupa korora huntevava hiho.
Yahweh did that in order that all the people-groups of the earth may know that he [MTY] is very powerful, and in order that you may always (be in awe of/revere) Yahweh, your God.’”
