約書亞記 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1國民盡都過了 約旦河 ，耶和華就對 約書亞 說：
1When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,
2「你從民中要揀選十二個人，每支派一人，
2“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,
3吩咐他們說：『你們從這裏，從 約旦河 中、祭司腳站定的地方，取十二塊石頭帶過去，放在你們今夜要住宿的地方。』」
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.’”
4於是， 約書亞 將他從 以色列 人中所預備的那十二個人，每支派一人，都召了來。
4So Joshua summoned the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,
5對他們說：「你們下 約旦河 中，過到耶和華－你們上帝的約櫃前頭，按着 以色列 人十二支派的數目，每人取一塊石頭扛在肩上。
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,
6這些石頭在你們中間可以作為證據。日後，你們的子孫問你們說：『這些石頭是甚麼意思？』
6to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
7你們就對他們說：『這是因為 約旦河 的水在耶和華的約櫃前斷絕；約櫃過 約旦河 的時候， 約旦河 的水就斷絕了。這些石頭要作 以色列 人永遠的紀念。』」
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.”
8以色列 人就照 約書亞 所吩咐的，按着 以色列 人支派的數目，從 約旦河 中取了十二塊石頭，都遵耶和華所吩咐 約書亞 的行了。他們把石頭帶過去，到他們所住宿的地方，就放在那裏。
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.
9約書亞 另把十二塊石頭立在 約旦河 中，在抬約櫃的祭司腳站立的地方；直到今日，那石頭還在那裏。
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.
10抬 約 櫃的祭司站在 約旦河 中，等到耶和華曉諭 約書亞 吩咐百姓的事辦完了，是照 摩西 所吩咐 約書亞 的一切話。 於是百姓急速過去了。
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,
11眾百姓盡都過了河，耶和華的 約 櫃和祭司就在百姓面前過去。
11and after everyone had finished crossing, the priests with the ark of the LORD crossed in the sight of the people.
12呂便 人、 迦得 人、 瑪拿西 半支派的人都照 摩西 所吩咐他們的，帶着兵器在 以色列 人前頭過去。
12The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over before the Israelites, armed for battle as Moses had instructed them.
13約有四萬人都準備打仗，在耶和華面前過去，到 耶利哥 的平原，等候上陣。
13About 40,000 troops armed for battle crossed over before the LORD into the plains of Jericho.
14當那日，耶和華使 約書亞 在 以色列 眾人眼前尊大。在他平生的日子，百姓敬畏他，像從前敬畏 摩西 一樣。
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.
15耶和華曉諭 約書亞 說：
15Then the LORD said to Joshua,
16「你吩咐抬法櫃的祭司從 約旦河 裏上來。」
16“Command the priests who carry the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
17約書亞 就吩咐祭司說：「你們從 約旦河 裏上來。」
17So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up from the Jordan.”
18抬耶和華約櫃的祭司從 約旦河 裏上來，腳掌剛落旱地， 約旦河 的水就流到原處，仍舊漲過兩岸。
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.
19正月初十日，百姓從 約旦河 裏上來，就在 吉甲 ，在 耶利哥 的東邊安營。
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.
20他們從 約旦河 中取來的那十二塊石頭， 約書亞 就立在 吉甲 ，
20And there at Gilgal Joshua set up the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.
21對 以色列 人說：「日後你們的子孫問他們的父親說：『這些石頭是甚麼意思？』
21Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their fathers, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’
22你們就告訴他們說：『 以色列 人曾走乾地過這 約旦河 ；
22you are to tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’
23因為耶和華－你們的上帝在你們前面使 約旦河 的水乾了，等着你們過來，就如耶和華－你們的上帝從前在我們前面使 紅海 乾了，等着我們過來一樣，
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.
24要使地上萬民都知道，耶和華的手大有能力，也要使你們永遠敬畏耶和華－你們的上帝。』」
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.”
