Josoa 4
1 Naho fa hene tafatsàke Iardeney i valobohòkey, le nitsara ty hoe am’ Iehosoa t’Iehovà:
And when they were passed over, the Lord said to Josue:
2 Rambeso ondaty folo-ro’ amby boak’ am’ ondatioo; songa ondaty raike ze fifokoañe,
Choose twelve men, one of every tribe:
3 le ifantoho ty hoe: Mandrambesa vato folo-ro’amby boak’ am’ Iardeney ao, amy ijohañam-pandia’ i mpisoroñe reiy, naho endeso hitsake mindre ama’ areo vaho apoho amy tobe hialeña’ areo te anitoy.
And command them to take out of the midst of the Jordan, where the feet of the priests stood, twelve very hard stones, which you shall set in the place of the camp, where you shall pitch your tents this night.
4 Aa le kinanji’ Iehosoa indaty folo-ro’amby nedre’e amo ana’ Israeleo rey; sindre ondaty raike ze fifokoa’e.
And Josue called twelve men, whom he had chosen out of the children of Israel, one out of every tribe,
5 Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ iereo, Mitsàha aolo’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areoy an-teñateña’ Iardeney vaho songa mandrambesa vato raik’ an-tsoro’e ty ami’ ty ia’ o fifokoa’ o ana’ Israeleoo;
And he said to them: Go before the ark of the Lord your God to the midst of the Jordan, and carry from thence every man a stone on your shoulders, according to the number of the children of Israel,
6 ho viloñe ama’ areo, aa naho mañontane anahareo o ana’ areoo amy añey, ty hoe: Inoñ’ ama’ areo o vato retoañeo?
That it may be a sign among you and when your children shall ask you tomorrow, saying: What mean these stones?
7 Le ty hoe ty hatalili’ areo: Amy te nitampak’ aolo’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày o rano Iardeneio; ie nitsake Iardeney, le nitampake o rano’ Iardeneio; vaho ho faniahiañe o ana’ Israeleo nainai’e o vato retoañe.
You shall answer them: The waters of the Jordan ran off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, when it passed over the same: therefore were these atones set for a monument of the children of Israel for ever.
8 Aa le nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo i namantoha’ Iehosoay, naho rinambe’ iereo ty vato folo-ro’ amby boak’ anteñateña’ Iardeney ao, ty amy tsinara’ Iehovà am’ Iehosoay, ty ami’ty ia’ o fifokoa’ o ana’ Israeleo, naho nendese’ iereo nitsake mindre am’ iereo mb’ an-tobe mb’eo vaho napo’ iereo ey.
The children of Israel therefore did as Josue commanded them, carrying out of the channel of the Jordan twelve stones, as the Lord had commanded him, according to the number of the children of Israel, unto the place wherein they camped, and there they set them.
9 Natroa’ Iehosoa añivo’ Iardeney ka ty vato folo-ro’ amby amy nijohañam-pandia’ i mpisoroñe nitarazo i vatam-pañinay rey vaho mbe eo izay henaneo.
And Josue put other twelve stones in the midst of the channel of the Jordan, where the priests stood that carried the ark of the covenant: and they are there until this present day.
10 Aa le nijohañe añivo’ Iardeney o mpisoroñe nitarazo i vataio ampara’ te niheneke i nampitaroñe’ Iehovà Iehosoa am’ ondatioy ty amy nandilia’ i Mosè Iehosoa iabiy; vaho nalisa nitsake mb’eo ondatio.
Now the priests that carried the ark, stood in the midst of the Jordan till all things were accomplished which the Lord had commanded Josue to speak to the people, and Moses had said to him. And the people made haste and passed over.
11 Naho fa tafatsàke ondaty iabio, le nitsake ka i vatam-pañinan’ Añaharey naho i mpisoroñe rey añatrefa’ ondatio.
And when they had all passed over, the ark also of the Lord passed over, and the priests went before the people.
12 Nitsake reke-pialiañe aolo’ o ana’ Israeleo o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy ty amy nisaontsie’ i Mosè am’ iereoy;
The children of Ruben also and Gad, and half the tribe of Manasses, went armed before the children of Israel as Moses had commanded them.
13 va’e efats’ ale reke-pialiañe veka’e hialy ty nionjoñe mb’an-kotakotak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà, mb’a monto’ Ieriko mb’eo.
And forty thousand fighting men by their troops, and bands, marched through the plains and fields of the city of Jericho.
14 Naonjo’ Iehovà ampahaoniña’ Israele iaby t’Iehosoa amy andro zay; vaho nañeveñe ama’e manahake ty nañeveña’ iareo amy Mosè amo hene andro niveloma’eo.
In that day the Lord magnified Josue in the sight of all Israel, that they should fear him, as they had feared Moses, while he lived.
15 Nitsara amy Iehosoa t’Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
And he said to him:
16 Ampitroaro boak’ am’ Iardeney o mpisoroñe mitarazo i vatam-pañinaio.
Command the priests, that carry the ark of the covenant, to come up out of the Jordan.
17 Aa le nandily amy mpisoroñe rey t’Iehosoa, nanao ty hoe: Mitroara amo Iardeneio.
And he commanded them, saying: Come ye up out of the Jordan.
18 Naho niakatse boak’ an-teñateña’ Iardene ao i mpisoroñe rey nitarazo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày, vata’e nitroatse an-tamboho eo o lelam-pandia’ i mpisoroñe reio le nimpoly an-toe’e o rano’ Iardeneio, nanginahina añ’olo’e iabio manahake te taolo.
And when they that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, were come up, and began to tread on the dry ground, the waters returned into the channel, and ran as they were wont before.
19 Nitroatse Iardeney amy andro faha-folo’ i volam-baloha’eiy ondatio vaho nitobe e Gilgale an-dafe atiñana’ Ieriko eo.
And the people came up out of the Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Galgal, over against the east side of the city of Jericho.
20 Le natroa’ Iehosoa e Gilgale eo i vato folo-ro’amby nakare’ iareo am’ Iardeney rey;
And the twelve stones which they had taken out of the channel of the Jordan, Josue pitched in Galgal,
21 vaho nitaroñe’e amo ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Aa naho añontanea’ o ana’ areoo an-droae’e añ’ andro añe ty hoe: Ino o vato retoañe?
And said to the children of Israel: When your children shall ask their fathers, tomorrow, and shall say to them: What mean these stones?
22 le hampandrendrehe’ areo o ana’ areoo ty hoe: Nitsake Iardeney an-tane mipintampintañe t’Israele.
You shall teach them and say: Israel passed over this Jordan through the dry channel.
23 Amy te nimaihe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo aolo’ areo ty rano Iardene ampara’ t’ie tafatsàke, manahake ty nanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo i Ria-Binday, ie nimaihe’e añatrefan-tikañe ampara’ te tafatsake,
The Lord your God drying up the waters thereof in your sight, until you passed over: As he had done before in the Red Sea, which he dried up till we passed through:
24 hahafohina’ ze kila ondati’ ty tane toy te maozatse ty fità’ Iehovà, hañeveña’e am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo nainai’e.
That all the people of the earth may learn the most mighty hand of the Lord, that you also may fear the Lord your God for ever.
