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 it came to pass, when all the people had finished passing over the Jordan, That the Lord said unto Joshua, as followeth,

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 yourselves twelve men out of the people, one man each out of every 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 command ye them, saying, Take yourselves hence out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firmly, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging-place, where ye will lodge this 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;

Then did Joshua call the twelve men, whom he had appointed out of the children of Israel, one man each out of every 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.

And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take yourselves up every man one stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children 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?

In order that this may be a sign among you, when your children ask in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?

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.

That ye shall answer them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; 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.

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 Joshua had commanded; and they took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as the Lord had spoken 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.

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.

Twelve stones also did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, on the spot where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood: and they have remained there unto 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.

But the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until every thing was finished that the Lord had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hastened 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 finished passing over, that the ark of the Lord passed over with the priests in the presence of the people.

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 children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Menasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto 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.

About forty thousand ready armed for war, did they pass over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains 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.

On that day the Lord made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.

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

And the Lord said unto Joshua, as followeth,

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

Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.

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

And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the 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 that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of the Jordan, the soles of the feet of the priests were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all its banks, as on the preceding days.

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 came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the extreme eastern border of 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 those twelve stones, which they had taken out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.

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?

And he said unto the children of Israel, thus, When your children shall ask in time to come their fathers, saying, What mean 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.

Then shall ye let your children know, saying, On dry land did Israel pass over this Jordan;

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;

That the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone 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.

In order that all the nations of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty; in order that ye may fear the Lord your God all the days.
