Jozuas 4
1 Un kad visi ļaudis bija pārgājuši pār Jardāni, tad Tas Kungs runāja uz Jozua un sacīja:
After all the people of the Israeli nation had finished crossing the Jordan [River], Yahweh said to Joshua,
2 Ņemat sev divpadsmit vīrus no tiem ļaudīm, no ikvienas cilts vienu vīru,
“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 Un pavēliet tiem sacīdami: paņemiet no šejienes, no Jardānes vidus, kur priesteru kājās stāvējušas, divpadsmit akmeņus un nesiet tos līdz pāri un noliekat tos tai vietā, kur paliksiet par nakti.
Tell them to carry the stones with you and put them down at the place where you will stay tonight.”
4 Tad Jozuas aicināja tos divpadsmit vīrus, ko viņš no Israēla bērniem bija iecēlis, no ikvienas cilts vienu vīru, un Jozuas uz tiem sacīja:
So Joshua chose twelve men, one from each tribe. He called them together, and said to them,
5 Noejat Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, šķirsta priekšā Jardānes vidū un paņemat ikkatrs vienu akmeni uz saviem pleciem pēc Israēla bērnu cilšu skaita.
“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 Lai šī ir zīme jūsu starpā, kad jūsu bērni pēclaikā vaicās, sacīdami: kas tie jums par akmeņiem?
[Then pile them up] to be a memorial for you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean?’,
7 Tad jums būs uz tiem sacīt: tādēļ, ka Jardānes ūdens ir izsīcis priekš Tā Kunga derības šķirsta; kad tas gāja caur Jardāni, tad Jardānes ūdens izsīka. Tā lai šie akmeņi Israēla bērniem ir par piemiņu mūžam.
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 Un Israēla bērni darīja, kā Jozuas tiem bija pavēlējis, un ņēma no Jardānes vidus divpadsmit akmeņus pēc Israēla bērnu cilšu skaita, kā Tas Kungs uz Jozua bija runājis, un tos pārnesa līdz mājas vietā, un tos tur nolika.
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 Jozuas uzcēla arī divpadsmit akmeņus pašā Jardānes vidū, kur priesteru, derības šķirsta nesēju, kājas bija stāvējušas, un tie tur ir līdz šai dienai.
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 Un tie priesteri, kas to šķirstu nesa, stāvēja Jardānes vidū, kamēr viss bija izdarīts, ko Tas Kungs Jozuam bija pavēlējis, uz tiem ļaudīm runāt, pēc visa, ko Mozus Jozuam bija pavēlējis; un tie ļaudis steidzās un gāja pāri.
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 Un kad tie ļaudis bija pārgājuši, tad Tā Kunga šķirsts gāja pāri un tie priesteri ļaužu priekšā.
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 Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni un Manasus puscilts apbruņoti gāja Israēla bērnu priekšā, kā Mozus uz tiem bija runājis.
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 Pie četrdesmit tūkstošu apbruņotu karavīru gāja karā Tā Kunga priekšā Jērikus klajumos.
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 Tai dienā Tas Kungs Jozua paaugstināja visa Israēla acīs, un tie viņu bijās, tā kā tie bija Mozu bijušies visas viņa mūža dienas.
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 Un Tas Kungs runāja uz Jozua un sacīja:
Yahweh said to Joshua,
16 Pavēli tiem priesteriem, kas derības šķirstu nes, lai tie izkāpj no Jardānes.
“[Now] tell the priests who are carrying the chest containing the Ten Commandments to come up from the Jordan [riverbed].”
17 Tad Jozuas tiem priesteriem pavēlēja un sacīja: izkāpiet no Jardānes.
So Joshua commanded the priests to do that.
18 Un kad tie priesteri, kas Tā Kunga derības šķirstu nesa, izkāpa no Jardānes vidus, un kad priesteru kājas nāca sausumā, tad Jardānes ūdens griezās atpakaļ savā vietā un pārplūda kā papriekš visur savos krastos.
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 Bet pirmā mēneša desmitā dienā tie ļaudis no Jardānes izkāpa un apmetās Gilgalā, Jērikum pret rītiem.
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 Un Jozuas uzcēla Gilgalā tos divpadsmit akmeņus, ko tie no Jardānes bija paņēmuši.
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 Un viņš runāja uz Israēla bērniem sacīdams: kad jūsu bērni turpmāk saviem tēviem vaicās un sacīs: kas tie par akmeņiem?
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 Tad jums būs stāstīt saviem bērniem un sacīt: Israēls ir gājis pa sausumu caur šo Jardāni.
tell them, ‘We Israeli people crossed the Jordan [River as though we were crossing] on dry ground.
23 Jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Jardānes ūdenim jūsu priekšā ir licis izsīkt, tiekams jūs bijāt pārgājuši, kā Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, bija darījis niedru jūrā; tai Viņš arī lika izsīkt mūsu priekšā, tiekams bijām gājuši cauri.
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 Lai visas zemes tautas atzīst Tā Kunga roku, ka tā ir stipra, lai jūs bīstaties To Kungu, savu Dievu, visu mūžu.
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.’”
