Iosua 4

1 A PAU ka lahuikanaka i ka hele i kela kapa o Ioredane, alaila olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i mai la,

And when the people had completely passed over Jordan, the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,

2 E lawe oukou no oukou iho, i umi kanaka a me kumamalua, mailoko mai o ka poe kanaka, e pakahi ke kanaka i ka ohana hookahi.

Take men from the people, one of each tribe,

3 A e kauoha aku ia lakou, penei, E lawe aku oukou, mailoko aku o Ioredane nei no kahi i ku ai na wawae o na kahuna, i na pohaku he umi a me kumamalua, a e lawe pu ia mau mea me oukou, a e waiho ma kahi a oukou e hoomoana'i i keia po.

and charge them; and you shall take out of the midst of Jordan twelve fit stones, and having carried them across together with yourselves, place them in your camp, where you shall encamp for the night.

4 Hea aku la o Iosua i ka poe kanaka he umikumamalua, ana i hoomakaukau ai no na mamo a Iseraela, pakahi ke kanaka i ka ohana hookahi;

And Joshua having called twelve men of distinction among the children of Israel, one of each tribe,

5 Olelo mai la o Iosua ia lakou, E hele ae oukou mamua o ka pahu o Iehova, o ko oukou Akua, maloko o Ioredane, a e lawe pakahi ke kanaka ma kona poohiwi i ka pohaku no oukou; e hoohalike i ka helu'na me na ohana o na mamo a Iseraela.

said to them, Advance before me in the presence of the Lord into the midst of Jordan, and each having taken up a stone from thence, let him carry it on his shoulders, according to the number of the twelve tribes of Israel:

6 I lilo keia i hoailona no oukou, i ka wa e ninau mai ai ka oukou poe keiki mahope aku nei, i ka i ana mai, He mea aha keia mau pohaku ia oukou?

that these may be to you continually for an appointed sign, that when your son asks you in future, saying, What are these stones to us?

7 Alaila, e hai aku oukou ia lakou, Ua hookaawaleia na wai o Ioredane imua o ka pahuberita o Iehova, I ka wa i hele ai ia maloko o Ioredane, ua hookaawaleia na wai o Ioredane; a e lilo no keia mau pohaku i hoailona mau loa e hoomanao ai na mamo a Iseraela.

then you may explain to your son, saying, The river Jordan was dried up from before the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth, when it passed it: and these stones shall be for a memorial for you for the children of Israel for ever.

8 Hana iho la na mamo a Iseraela pela, e like me ka Iosua i kauoha mai ai, a lawe lakou i umikumamalua pohaku, mailoko mai o Ioredane, me ka olelo a Iehova ia Iosua, e like hoi me ka helu ana o na ohana o na mamo a Iseraela, a lawe pu ae la me lakou a hiki i kahi a lakou i moe ai, a waiho iho la malaila.

And the children of Israel did so, as the Lord commanded Joshua; and they took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, (as the Lord commanded Joshua, when the children of Israel had completely passed over, ) and carried these stones with them into the camp, and laid them down there.

9 Kukulu iho la o Iosua i umikumamalua pohaku maloko o Ioredane, ma kahi i ku ai na kapuwai o na kahuna, o ka poe lawe i ka pahuberita. Malaila no i waihoia'i ia mau mea a hiki loa mai i keia la.

And Joshua set also other twelve stones in Jordan itself, in the place that was under the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and there they are to this day.

10 A o na kahuna, ka poe i lawe i ka pahu, ku malie lakou maloko o Ioredane, a pau i ka hanaia na mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Iosua e olelo mai i kanaka, e like hoi me na mea a pau a Mose i kauoha mai ai ia Iosua. Wikiwiki iho la na kanaka, a hele aku la i kela kapa.

And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant stood in Jordan, until Joshua [had] finished all that the Lord commanded him to report to the people; and the people hasted and passed over.

11 A pau na kanaka i ka hele ae, alaila, hele ae la no ka pahu o Iehova, a me na kahuna imua o na kanaka.

And it came to pass when all the people had passed over, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord passed over, and the stones before them.

12 A o na mamo a Reubena, a me na mamo a Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, hele makaukau lakou mamua o na mamo a Iseraela, e like me ka olelo a Mose ia lakou.

And the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses commanded them.

13 Hookahi kanaha tausani o ia puali makaukau i ke kaua, i hele ae imua o Iehova i ke kaua i na wahi papu o Ieriko.

Forty thousand armed for battle went over before the Lord to war, to the city of Jericho.

14 Ia la, hookiekie mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i na maka o ka Iseraela a pau, a makau no lakou ia ia i na la a pau o kona ola ana, me lakou i makau ai ia Mose.

In that day the Lord magnified Joshua before all the people of Israel; and they feared him, as [they did] Moses, as long as he lived.

15 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, i mai la,

And the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,

16 E kauoha ae oe i na kahuna, i ka poe i lawe i ka pahu kanawai, e pii lakou mailoko mai o Ioredane.

Charge the priests that bear the ark of the covenant of the testimony of the Lord, to go up out of Jordan.

17 Kauoha mai la no o Iosua i na kahuna, i mai la, E pii mai oukou mailoko mai o Ioredane.

And Joshua charged the priests, saying, Go up out of Jordan.

18 A i ka wa i pii aku ai na kahuna, ka poe i lawe i ka pahuberita o Iehova, mailoko mai o Ioredane, a pae na kapuwai o na kahuna ma kahi maloo, alaila, hoi hou na wai o Ioredane i ko lakou wahi, a kahe hou no maluna o kona kapa a pau, e like mamua.

And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were gone up out of Jordan, and set their feet upon the land, [that] the water of Jordan returned impetuously to its place, and went as before over all its banks.

19 Pii aku la na kanaka a pau, mailoko mai o Ioredane, i ka la umi o ka malama mua, a hoomoana iho la lakou ma Gilegala ma ka palena o Ieriko, aia ma ka hikina.

And the people went up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month; and the children of Israel encamped in Galgala in the region eastward from Jericho.

20 A o kela mau pohaku, he umikumamalua a lakou i lawe mai ai, mai Ioredane mai, kukulu iho la o Iosua ma Gilegala.

And Joshua set these twelve stones which he took out of Jordan, in Galgala,

21 Olelo mai la ia i na mamo a Iseraela, i mai la, I ka wa e ninau mai ai ka oukou poe keiki i ko lakou makuakane mahope aku nei, i ka i ana mai, He mea aha keia mau pohaku?

saying, When your sons ask you, saying, What are these stones?

22 Alaila, e hoike aku oukou i ka oukou poe keiki, me ka i ana aku, Ma kahi maloo i hele mai ai ka Iseraela, a hiki i keia aoao o Ioredane nei.

Tell your sons, that Israel went over this Jordan on dry land,

23 No ka mea, ua hoomaloo mai o Iehova, ko oukou Akua i na wai o Ioredane, mamua o oukou, a pau oukou i ka hele ae, e like me ka Iehova ko oukou Akua i hana'i i ke Kaiula, i ka mea ana i hoomaloo ai mamua o kakou, a hala ae kakou;

when the Lord our God had dried up the water of Jordan from before them, until they had passed over; as the Lord our God did to the Red Sea, which the Lord our God dried up from before us, until we passed over.

24 I ike na kanaka a pau o ka honua nei i ka lima o Iehova, ua ikaika ia; i makau hoi oukou ia Iehova, i ko oukou Akua, i na la a pau loa.

That all the nations of the earth might know, that the power of the Lord is mighty, and that you might worship the Lord our God in every work.
