Joshua 4
1 Nígbà tí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè náà kọjá nínú odò Jordani tan, Olúwa sọ fún Joṣua pé,
And when all the people were wholy gone ouer Iorden, (after the Lord had spoken vnto Ioshua, saying,
2 “Yan ọkùnrin méjìlá nínú àwọn ènìyàn, ẹnìkan nínú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan,
Take you twelue me out of the people, out of euery tribe a man,
3 kí o sì pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ gbé òkúta méjìlá láti àárín odò Jordani ní ibi tí àwọn àlùfáà dúró sí, kí ẹ sì rù wọn kọjá, kí ẹ sì gbé wọn sí ibi tí ẹ̀yin yóò sùn ní alẹ́ yìí.’”
And command you them, saying, Take you hence out of the middes of Iorden, out of the place where the Priestes stoode in a readinesse, twelue stones, which ye shall take away with you, and leaue them in the lodging where you shall lodge this night)
4 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua pe àwọn ọkùnrin méjìlá tí ó ti yàn nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ẹnìkan nínú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan,
Then Ioshua called the twelue men, whome he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery tribe a man,
5 ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ kọjá lọ ní iwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín sí àárín odò Jordani. Kí olúkúlùkù yín gbé òkúta kọ̀ọ̀kan lé èjìká a rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ẹ̀yà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli,
And Ioshua said vnto them, Go ouer before the Arke of the Lord your God, euen through the middes of Iorden, and take vp euery man of you a stone vpon his shoulder according vnto the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel,
6 kí ó sì jẹ́ àmì láàrín yín. Ní ọjọ́ iwájú, nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ yín bá béèrè lọ́wọ́ yín pé, ‘Kí ni òkúta wọ̀nyí dúró fún?’
That this may bee a signe among you, that whe your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, saying, What meane you by these stones?
7 Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò dá wọn lóhùn pé, nítorí a gé omi odò Jordani kúrò ní iwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa. Nígbà tí a rékọjá a Jordani, a gé omi Jordani kúrò. Àwọn òkúta wọ̀nyí yóò sì jẹ́ ìrántí fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láéláé.”
Then ye may answere them, That the waters of Iorden were cut off before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord: for when it passed through Iorden, the waters of Iorden were cut off: therefore these stones are a memoriall vnto the children of Israel for euer.
8 Báyìí ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe bí Joṣua ti pàṣẹ fún wọn. Wọ́n gbé òkúta méjìlá láti àárín odò Jordani gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ẹ̀yà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, bí Olúwa ti sọ fún Joṣua; wọ́n sì rù wọ́n kọjá lọ sí ibùdó, ní ibi tí wọ́n ti gbé wọn kalẹ̀.
Then ye children of Israel did euen so as Ioshua had commanded, and tooke vp twelue stones out of the mids of Iorden as ye Lord had said vnto Ioshua, according to the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel, and caried them away with them vnto the lodging, and layd them down there.
9 Joṣua sì to òkúta méjìlá náà sí àárín odò Jordani fún ìrántí ní ọ̀kánkán ibi tí àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí dúró sí. Wọ́n sì wà níbẹ̀ di òní yìí.
And Ioshua set vp twelue stones in the middes of Iorden, in the place where the feete of the Priests, which bare the Arke of the couenant stood, and there haue they continued vnto this day.
10 Àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí náà dúró ní àárín Jordani títí gbogbo nǹkan tí Olúwa pàṣẹ fún Joṣua fi di ṣíṣe nípasẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ti pàṣẹ fún Joṣua. Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì yára kọjá,
So the Priests, which bare ye Arke, stoode in the middes of Iorden, vntill euery thing was finished that ye Lord had comanded Ioshua to say vnto the people, according to all that Moses charged Ioshua: then the people hasted and went ouer.
11 bí gbogbo wọn sì ti rékọjá tán, ni àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa àti àwọn àlùfáà wá sí òdìkejì. Bí àwọn ènìyàn sì ti ń wò wọ́n.
When all the people were cleane passed ouer, the Arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the Priests before the people.
12 Àwọn ọkùnrin Reubeni, Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase náà sì rékọjá ní ìhámọ́ra ogun níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ti pàṣẹ fún wọn.
And the sonnes of Reuben, and the sonnes of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh went ouer before the children of Israel armed, as Moses had charged them.
13 Àwọn bí ọ̀kẹ́ méjì tó ti múra fún ogun rékọjá lọ ní iwájú Olúwa sí pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Jeriko láti jagun.
Euen fourty thousand prepared for warre, went before the Lord vnto battel, into ye plaine of Iericho.
14 Ní ọjọ́ náà ni Olúwa gbé Joṣua ga ní ojú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, wọ́n sì bẹ̀rù u rẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé e wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti bẹ̀rù Mose.
That day the Lord magnified Ioshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses all dayes of his life.
15 Olúwa sì sọ fún Joṣua pé,
And the Lord spake vnto Ioshua, saying,
16 “Pàṣẹ fún àwọn àlùfáà tí o ń ru àpótí ẹ̀rí, kí wọn kí ó jáde kúrò nínú odò Jordani.”
Commande the Priests that beare ye Arke of the testimonie, to come vp out of Iorden.
17 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua pàṣẹ fún àwọn àlùfáà pé, “Ẹ jáde kúrò nínú odò Jordani.”
Ioshua therefore commanded the Priests, saying, Come ye vp out of Iorden.
18 Àwọn àlùfáà náà jáde láti inú odò pẹ̀lú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa ni orí wọn. Bí wọ́n ti fi ẹsẹ̀ ẹ wọn tẹ orí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ ni omi Jordani náà padà sí ààyè e rẹ̀, o sì kún wọ bèbè bí i ti àtẹ̀yìnwá.
And when the Priests that bare the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord were come vp out of the middes of Iorden, and assoone as the soles of the Priests feete were set on the dry land, the waters of Iorde returned vnto their place, and flowed ouer all the bankes thereof, as they did before.
19 Ní ọjọ́ kẹwàá oṣù kìn-ín-ní àwọn ènìyàn náà lọ láti Jordani, wọ́n sì dúró ní Gilgali ní ìlà-oòrùn Jeriko.
So the people came vp out of Iorden the tenth day of the first moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, in the Eastside of Iericho.
20 Joṣua sì to àwọn òkúta méjìlá tí wọ́n mú jáde ní Jordani jọ ní Gilgali.
Also the twelue stones, which they tooke out of Iorden, did Ioshua pitch in Gilgal.
21 Ó sì sọ fún àwọn ará Israẹli, “Ní ọjọ́ iwájú nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ yín bá béèrè ní ọwọ́ baba wọn pé, ‘Kín ni òkúta wọ̀nyí dúró fún?’
And he spake vnto ye childre of Israel, saying, When your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, and say, What meane these stones?
22 Nígbà náà ni ẹ ó jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọ yín mọ̀ pé, ‘Israẹli rékọjá odò Jordani ní orí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.’
Then ye shall shew your children, and say, Israel came ouer this Iorden on dry land:
23 Nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mú Jordani gbẹ ní iwájú u yín títí ẹ̀yin fi kọjá. Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti ṣe sí Jordani gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe sí Òkun Pupa, nígbà tí ó mú un gbẹ ní iwájú wa títí àwa fi kọjá.
For the Lord your God dryed vp ye waters of Iorden before you, vntill ye were gone ouer, as the Lord your God did the red Sea, which hee dryed vp before vs, till we were gone ouer,
24 Ó ṣe èyí kí gbogbo ayé lè mọ̀ pé ọwọ́ Olúwa ní agbára, àti kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè máa bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ní ìgbà gbogbo.”
That all the people of the worlde may know that the hand of the Lord is mightie, that ye might feare the Lord your God continually.
