1When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,
1Tukun mwet Israel nukewa utyak tari nu finmes ah liki Infacl Jordan, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua,
2“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,
2“Sulela mwet singoul luo, mwet se sin kais sie sruf,
3and 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.’”
3ac sap elos in srukak kais sie eot liki infacl an yen mwet tol elos tu we, ac us welulos ac oakiya yen kowos ac mongla we ofong an.”
4So Joshua summoned the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,
4Ouinge Joshua el pangonma mwet singoul luo liki inmasrlon mwet uh su el srisrngiya liki inmasrlon kais sie sruf,
5and 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,
5ac fahk nu selos, “Fahsrot nu infulwen Infacl Jordan. Fahsr meet liki Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lowos, ac srukak kais sie eot nu finpisowos, fal nu ke pisen sruf lun Israel.
6to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
6Lela tuh ma inge in mwe akul nu suwos nu ke pacl tulik nutuwos uh ac mau siyuk in pacl tok uh lah mea kalmen eot inge,
7you 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.”
7na kowos fah akkalemye nu selos lah kof ke Infacl Jordan tuh tui nwe ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD utukyak liki infacl ah. Eot inge ac fah mwe asmakin nu sin mwet Israel ke ma inge nwe tok.”
8Thus 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.
8Na elos oru oana ke Joshua el sapkin nu selos. Elos srukak eot singoul luo liki infacl uh, fal nu ke pisen sruf lun Israel, oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Joshua, ac elos us eot inge nwe ke acn elos mongla we, ac filiya we.
9Joshua 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.
9Ac Joshua el oayapa oakiya eot singoul luo ke infulwen Infacl Jordan, yen ma mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang elos tuh tu we ah, ac eot inge oasr na we nu misenge.
10Now 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,
10Mwet tol inge tuh tu na infulwen Infacl Jordan nwe ke na ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Joshua tuh elan fahk nu sin mwet uh ac safla, oapana ke Moses el tuh sapkin nu sel Joshua. Ouinge mwet uh fahsr sulaklak in sun finmes uh.
11and after everyone had finished crossing, the priests with the ark of the LORD crossed in the sight of the people.
11Ac tukun mwet nukewa utyak tari nu finmes, na mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD elos utyak ac sifil fahsr meet liki mwet uh.
12The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over before the Israelites, armed for battle as Moses had instructed them.
12Ac mukul ke sruf lal Reuben, ac sruf lal Gad, ac tafu sruf lal Manasseh, elos us mwe mweun ac fahsr meet liki mwet uh, oana ke Moses el tuh sapkin nu selos.
13About 40,000 troops armed for battle crossed over before the LORD into the plains of Jericho.
13Apkuran in tausin angngaul pisen mwet su akola nu ke mweun pa utyak ye mutun LEUM GOD nu yen tupasrpasr sisken acn Jericho.
14On 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.
14LEUM GOD El akfulatyal Joshua ke mwenmen ma el sang Joshua el oru ye mutun mwet Israel nukewa in len sac, ac mwet Israel nukewa elos oayapa akfulatyal Joshua ke lusen moul lal nufon, oana ke elos tuh akfulatyal Moses in pacl lal ah.
15Then the LORD said to Joshua,
15Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua,
16“Command the priests who carry the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
16“Fahkang nu sin mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang tuh elos in utyak liki Infacl Jordan.”
17So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up from the Jordan.”
17Na Joshua el oru oana.
18When 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.
18Ouinge ke pacl se mwet tol elos tufahna sroak liki infacl ah nu finmes ah, na kof ke infacl ah sifilpa soror ac sronoti oana meet ah.
19On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.
19Mwet uh elos tuh fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan ke len aksingoul in malem se meet, ac elos tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Gilgal, kutulap in Jericho.
20And there at Gilgal Joshua set up the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.
20Na eot singoul luo ma elos tuh us liki Infacl Jordan, Joshua el oakiya in acn Gilgal.
21Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their fathers, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’
21Ac el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “In pacl fahsru, tulik nutuwos fin siyuk suwos lah mea kalmen eot inge,
22you are to tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’
22na kowos fah srumun nu selos, ke pacl se mwet Israel tuh fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan elos fahsr ke acn pao.
23For 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.
23Fahkang nu selos lah LEUM GOD lowos el tuh akpaoyela Infacl Jordan nwe ke na kut nukewa fahsr sasla infacl ah, oana El tuh oru nu sin mwet matu lasr meet ah ke El akpaoyela Meoa Srusra.
24He 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.”
24El tuh oru ma inge tuh mwet in faclu nufon elos in etu ke ku lulap lun LEUM GOD , ac tuh kowos fah etu in akfulatye ac sunakin LEUM GOD lowos ma pahtpat.”
