Yashuuca 4
1 Oo markii quruuntii oo dhammu ay ka wada gudubtay Webi Urdun, ayaa Rabbigu Yashuuca la hadlay, oo ku yidhi,
When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,
2 Dadka kala bax laba iyo toban nin, qabiil walba nin,
“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,
3 oo waxaad iyaga ku amartaa oo ku tidhaahdaa, Webi Urdun dhexdiisa oo ah meeshii cagaha wadaaddadu istaageen, waxaad ka qaaddaan laba iyo toban dhagax, oo waxaad ula gudubtaan dhanka kale, oo waxaad dhigtaan meeshaad caawa ku dhaxaysaan.
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 Markaasaa Yashuuca u yeedhay laba iyo tobankii nin, oo uu ka diyaariyey reer binu Israa'iil, oo qabiil walbana nin buu ka soo soocay.
So Joshua summoned the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,
5 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Ka hor gudba sanduuqa Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo waxaad tagtaan Webi Urdun dhexdiisa, oo midkiin waluba dhagax garabka ha ku qaado, inta reer binu Israa'iil qabiilooyinkooda tiradoodu tahay,
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 in taasu idiin ahaato calaamo idin dhex taal, oo wakhtiga soo socda markii carruurtiinnu idin weyddiiyaan, oo idinku yidhaahdaan, Maxaad ula jeeddaan dhagaxyadan?
to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
7 Waxaad ku odhan doontaan, Sababtu waxa weeye, biyihii Webi Urdun baa ku hor kala go'ay sanduuqa axdiga Ilaah; oo markii uu ka gudbayay Webi Urdun ayay biyihii Webi Urdun kala go'een; oo dhagaxyadanu xusuus bay u ahaan doonaan reer binu Israa'iil weligood.
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 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay yeeleen sidii Yashuuca ku amray, oo waxay Webi Urdun dhexdiisa ka qaadeen laba iyo toban dhagax, oo ah intii qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil tiradoodu ahayd sidii Rabbigu u sheegay Yashuuca, oo waxay u gudbiyeen meeshii ay ku dhaxeen, oo halkaasay dhigeen.
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 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu laba iyo toban dhagax qotomiyey Webi Urdun dhexdiisa, taasoo ah meeshii wadaaddada sida sanduuqa axdiga ay cagahoodu istaageen; oo ilaa maantadan weli meeshii bay jiraan.
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 Waayo, wadaaddadii siday sanduuqa waxay istaageen Webi Urdun dhexdiisa, ilaa ay dhammaadeen wax waluba wixii Rabbigu ku amray Yashuuca inuu dadka kula hadlo, sidii wixii Muuse ku amray Yashuuca oo dhan, oo dadkiina way degdegeen oo gudbeen.
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 Oo waxaa dhacday markii ay dadkii oo dhammu wada gudbeen inuu sanduuqii Rabbiguna gudbay, isaga iyo wadaaddadiiba, dadkii oo arka.
and after everyone had finished crossing, the priests with the ark of the LORD crossed in the sight of the people.
12 Oo reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo qabiilkii reer Manaseh badhkiis ayaa reer binu Israa'iil ka hor gudbay, iyagoo hub leh, sidii Muuse kula hadlay iyaga.
The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over before the Israelites, armed for battle as Moses had instructed them.
13 Qiyaas afar kun oo nin oo hub leh oo dagaal diyaar u ah ayaa Rabbiga hortiisa ka gudubtay oo dagaal ugu kacday xagga bannaanka Yerixoo.
About 40,000 troops armed for battle crossed over before the LORD into the plains of Jericho.
14 Oo maalintaas Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku weyneeyey reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan hortooda; oo cimrigiisii oo dhanba way ka cabsadeen isagii, sidii ay Muuse uga baqi jireen oo kale.
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 Markaasaa Rabbigu Yashuuca la hadlay, oo ku yidhi,
Then the LORD said to Joshua,
16 Wadaaddada sanduuqa maragga sida waxaad ku amartaa inay ka soo baxaan Webi Urdun.
“Command the priests who carry the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
17 Oo sidaas daraaddeed Yashuuca baa amray wadaaddadii, oo ku yidhi, Ka soo baxa Webi Urdun.
So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up from the Jordan.”
18 Oo markii wadaaddadii siday sanduuqa axdigii Rabbiga ay ka soo dhex bexeen Webi Urdun, oo ay cagaha u qaadeen dhul engegan, ayay biyihii Webi Urdun meeshoodii ku soo noqdeen, oo ay qararkiisii oo dhan ka daateen sidii markii hore.
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 Oo dadku waxay Webi Urdun ka soo bexeen maalintii tobnaad oo bishii kowaad, oo waxay degeen Gilgaal oo xagga bari ka xigta Yerixoo.
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 Oo laba iyo tobankii dhagax oo ay ka soo qaadeen Webi Urdun dhexdiisa ayuu Yashuuca qotomiyey Gilgaal.
And there at Gilgal Joshua set up the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.
21 Markaasuu ka hadlay reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Wakhtiga soo socda markii carruurtiinnu aabbayaashood weyddiiyaan, oo yidhaahdaan, Maxaad ula jeeddaan dhagaxyadan?
Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their fathers, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’
22 Waxaad carruurtiinna ogeysiisaan, oo ku tidhaahdaan, Reer binu Israa'iil Webigan Urdun waxay kaga soo gudbeen dhul engegan.
you are to tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’
23 Waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah baa hortiinna ka engejiyey biyihii Webi Urdun, ilaa aad ka soo gudubteen, sidii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu u galay Badda Cas oo kale, tii uu hortayada ka engejiyey ilaa aannu ka gudubnay,
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 si ay dadka dhulka jooga oo dhammu u ogaadaan gacanta Rabbigu inay xoog badan tahay; oo ay weligood uga cabsadaan Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
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.”
