Iyyaasuu 4
1 Waaqayyos erga sabni guutuun Yordaanosin ceʼee booddee, Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe;
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that Yhwh spake unto Joshua, saying,
2 “Saba keessaa nama kudha lama, tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa nama tokko tokko filadhuutii
Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
3 akka isaan walakkaa Yordaanos keessaa iddoo luboonni dhadhaabatan sanaa dhagoota kudha lama fuudhanii, baatanii isin wajjin deemanii iddoo isin edana bultanitti lafa kakaaʼan itti himi.”
And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
4 Kanaafis Iyyaasuun, namoota kudha lamaan Israaʼeloota keessaa, tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa tokko tokko filate sana walitti waamee
Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
5 akkana jedheen; “Taabota Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii kana dura darbaatii walakkaa Yordaanos seenaa. Tokkoon tokkoon keessanis akkuma baayʼina gosoota Israaʼelootaatti dhagaa tokko tokko fudhattanii gatiittii keessanitti baachuu qabdu.
And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of Yhwh your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
6 Kunis akka wanni kun gidduu keessanitti mallattoo taʼuuf. Yommuu ijoolleen keessan gara fuulduraatti, ‘Dhagoonni kunneen maal argisiisu?’ jedhanii isin gaafatanitti,
That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
7 akka bishaan laga Yordaanos fuula taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo duratti gargar cite itti himaa. Yommuu taabonni kun laga Yordaanos ceʼetti bishaan Yordaanos gargar cite. Dhagaawwan kunneenis saba Israaʼeliif yaadannoo bara baraa taʼu.”
Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Yhwh; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
8 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni akkuma Iyyaasuun isaan ajaje godhan. Isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo Iyyaasuutti hime sana, akkuma baayʼina gosoota Israaʼelootaatti dhagoota kudha lama walakkaa Yordaanos keessaa fuudhan; hamma iddoo qubata isaaniittis baatanii achitti lafa kaaʼatan.
And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as Yhwh spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
9 Iyyaasuunis dhagoota kudha lamaan walakkaa Yordaanos keessa iddoo luboonni taabota kakuu baatan sun ijaajjaa turan sana ol dhadhaabe. Isaanis hamma harʼaatti achuma jiru.
And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
10 Luboonni taabota kakuu baatan sunis hamma wanni Waaqayyo akka inni namootatti himuuf Iyyaasuu ajaje hundi akkuma Museen Iyyaasuu ajajetti raawwatamutti walakkaa Yordaanos keessa dhadhaabachaa turan. Namoonnis dafanii ceʼan;
For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that Yhwh commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
11 akkuma hundi isaanii ceʼaniinis utuma namoonni arganuu taabonni Waaqayyootii fi luboonni gara gama kaaniitti ceʼan.
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of Yhwh passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
12 Ilmaan Ruubeen, ilmaan Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee akkuma Museen isaan ajajetti miʼa lolaa hidhatanii Israaʼeloota dura gara gamaatti ceʼan.
And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
13 Namni gara kuma afurtamaa taʼu warraanaaf hidhatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura gara dirree Yerikootti lolaaf ceʼe.
About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before Yhwh unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
14 Waaqayyos guyyaa sana fuula Israaʼeloota hundaa duratti Iyyaasuu nama guddaa godhe; isaanis akkuma Museef ulfina kennaa turan sana bara jireenya isaa guutuu Iyyaasuufis ulfina kennan.
On that day Yhwh magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
15 Ergasiis Waaqayyo Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe;
And Yhwh spake unto Joshua, saying,
16 “Akka isaan Yordaanos keessaa ol baʼaniif luboota taabota kakuu seeraa baatan sana ajaji.”
Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
17 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun, “Yordaanos keessaa ol baʼaa” jedhee luboota ajaje.
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
18 Luboonnis taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatanii laga keessaa ol baʼan. Akkuma isaan miilla isaanii lafa gogaa irra dhaabbataniin bishaan Yordaanos iddoo ofiitti deebiʼee akkuma duraanii guutee irra dhangalaʼe.
And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of Yhwh were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
19 Guyyaa kurnaffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti namoonni Yordaanos keessaa ol baʼanii Gilgaal isa baʼa daarii Yerikoo keessa qubatan.
And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
20 Iyyaasuunis dhagoota kudha lamaan isaan Yordaanos keessaa fuudhan sana Gilgaal keessa dhadhaabe.
And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
21 Innis Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhe; “Gara fuulduraatti yoo sanyiin keessan, ‘Dhagaawwan kunneen maal argisiisu?’ jedhanii abbootii isaanii gaafatan,
And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
22 ‘Israaʼel lafa gogaa irra Yordaanos ceʼe’ jedhaa itti himaa.
Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
23 Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan hamma isin gamatti ceetanitti fuuluma keessan duratti Yordaanos gogsee tureetii. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma hamma nu ceenutti Galaana Diimaa fuula keenya duratti gogse sana Yordaanosiinis gogse.
For Yhwh your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Yhwh your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
24 Innis akka sabni lafaa hundinuu akka harki Waaqayyoo jabaa taʼe argisiisuu fi akka isinis yeroo hunda Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan sodaattaniif waan kana hojjete.”
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of Yhwh, that it is mighty: that ye might fear Yhwh your God for ever.
