Joshua 4
1 And it came to pass, when all the nation were clean passed over the Jordan, that Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying,
quibus transgressis dixit Dominus ad Iosue
2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
elige duodecim viros singulos per singulas tribus
3 and command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place, where ye shall lodge this night.
et praecipe eis ut tollant de medio Iordanis alveo ubi steterunt sacerdotum pedes duodecim durissimos lapides quos ponetis in loco castrorum ubi fixeritis hac nocte tentoria
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
vocavitque Iosue duodecim viros quos elegerat de filiis Israhel singulos de tribubus singulis
5 and Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
et ait ad eos ite ante arcam Domini Dei vestri ad Iordanis medium et portate singuli singulos lapides in umeris vestris iuxta numerum filiorum Israhel
6 that this may be a sign among you, that, when your children ask in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
ut sit signum inter vos et quando interrogaverint vos filii vestri cras dicentes quid sibi volunt isti lapides
7 then ye shall say unto them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
respondebitis eis defecerunt aquae Iordanis ante arcam foederis Domini cum transiret eum idcirco positi sunt lapides isti in monumentum filiorum Israhel usque in aeternum
8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
fecerunt ergo filii Israhel sicut eis praecepit Iosue portantes de medio Iordanis alveo duodecim lapides ut ei Dominus imperarat iuxta numerum filiorum Israhel usque ad locum in quo castrametati sunt ibique posuerunt eos
9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests that bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
alios quoque duodecim lapides posuit Iosue in medio Iordanis alveo ubi steterunt sacerdotes qui portabant arcam foederis et sunt ibi usque in praesentem diem
10 For the priests that bare the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
sacerdotes autem qui portabant arcam stabant in Iordanis medio donec omnia conplerentur quae Iosue ut loqueretur ad populum praeceperat Dominus et dixerat ei Moses festinavitque populus et transiit
11 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of Jehovah passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
cumque transissent omnes transivit et arca Domini sacerdotesque pergebant ante populum
12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
filii quoque Ruben et Gad et dimidiae tribus Manasse armati praecedebant filios Israhel sicut eis praeceperat Moses
13 about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before Jehovah unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
et quadraginta pugnatorum milia per turmas et cuneos incedebant per plana atque campestria urbis Hiericho
14 On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
in illo die magnificavit Dominus Iosue coram omni Israhel ut timerent eum sicut timuerant Mosen dum adviveret
15 And Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying,
dixitque ad eum
16 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
praecipe sacerdotibus qui portant arcam foederis ut ascendant de Iordane
17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan.
qui praecepit eis dicens ascendite de Iordane
18 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah were come up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and went over all its banks, as aforetime.
cumque ascendissent portantes arcam foederis Domini et siccam humum calcare coepissent reversae sunt aquae in alveum suum et fluebant sicut ante consueverant
19 And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.
populus autem ascendit de Iordane decimo mensis primi die et castrametati sunt in Galgalis contra orientalem plagam urbis Hiericho
20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
duodecim quoque lapides quos de Iordanis alveo sumpserant posuit Iosue in Galgalis
21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
et dixit ad filios Israhel quando interrogaverint filii vestri cras patres suos et dixerint eis quid sibi volunt isti lapides
22 then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
docebitis eos atque dicetis per arentem alveum transivit Israhel Iordanem istum
23 For Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were passed over;
siccante Domino Deo vestro aquas eius in conspectu vestro donec transiretis sicut fecerat prius in mari Rubro quod siccavit donec transiremus
24 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye may fear Jehovah your God for ever.
ut discant omnes terrarum populi fortissimam Domini manum et ut vos timeatis Dominum Deum vestrum omni tempore
