Yashuuca 4
1 Oo markii quruuntii oo dhammu ay ka wada gudubtay Webi Urdun, ayaa Rabbigu Yashuuca la hadlay, oo ku yidhi,
After all the people of the Israeli nation had finished crossing the Jordan [River], Yahweh said to Joshua,
2 Dadka kala bax laba iyo toban nin, qabiil walba nin,
“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 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.
Tell them to carry the stones with you and put them down at the place where you will stay tonight.”
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 chose twelve men, one from each tribe. He called them together, and said to them,
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,
“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 in taasu idiin ahaato calaamo idin dhex taal, oo wakhtiga soo socda markii carruurtiinnu idin weyddiiyaan, oo idinku yidhaahdaan, Maxaad ula jeeddaan dhagaxyadan?
[Then pile them up] to be a memorial for you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean?’,
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Oo waxaa dhacday markii ay dadkii oo dhammu wada gudbeen inuu sanduuqii Rabbiguna gudbay, isaga iyo wadaaddadiiba, dadkii oo arka.
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 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 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 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.
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 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, 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 Markaasaa Rabbigu Yashuuca la hadlay, oo ku yidhi,
Yahweh said to Joshua,
16 Wadaaddada sanduuqa maragga sida waxaad ku amartaa inay ka soo baxaan Webi Urdun.
“[Now] tell the priests who are carrying the chest containing the Ten Commandments to come up from the Jordan [riverbed].”
17 Oo sidaas daraaddeed Yashuuca baa amray wadaaddadii, oo ku yidhi, Ka soo baxa Webi Urdun.
So Joshua commanded the priests to do that.
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.
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 Oo dadku waxay Webi Urdun ka soo bexeen maalintii tobnaad oo bishii kowaad, oo waxay degeen Gilgaal oo xagga bari ka xigta Yerixoo.
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 Oo laba iyo tobankii dhagax oo ay ka soo qaadeen Webi Urdun dhexdiisa ayuu Yashuuca qotomiyey Gilgaal.
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 Markaasuu ka hadlay reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Wakhtiga soo socda markii carruurtiinnu aabbayaashood weyddiiyaan, oo yidhaahdaan, Maxaad ula jeeddaan dhagaxyadan?
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 Waxaad carruurtiinna ogeysiisaan, oo ku tidhaahdaan, Reer binu Israa'iil Webigan Urdun waxay kaga soo gudbeen dhul engegan.
tell them, ‘We Israeli people crossed the Jordan [River as though we were crossing] 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,
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 si ay dadka dhulka jooga oo dhammu u ogaadaan gacanta Rabbigu inay xoog badan tahay; oo ay weligood uga cabsadaan Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
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.’”
