1 Da nu hele folket var kommet vel over Jordan, sa Herren til Josva:

And it was just when they had finished all the nation to pass over the Jordan. And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.

2 Velg ut tolv menn av folket, én mann av hver stamme,

Take for yourselves from the people two plus ten men a man one a man one from a tribe.

3 og byd dem og si: Ta op her fra Jordans bunn tolv stener, fra det sted hvor prestenes føtter står, og hold dem ferdige, og bær dem med eder over og legg dem ned på det sted hvor I blir denne natt over!

And command them saying take up for yourselves from here from [the] middle of the Jordan from [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests to make firm two plus ten stones and you will take over them with you and you will set down them at the lodging place which you will stay at it this night.

4 Da lot Josva de tolv menn kalle som han hadde valgt blandt Israels barn, én mann for hver stamme.

And he called Joshua to two plus the ten man whom he had appointed from [the] people of Israel a man one a man one from a tribe.

5 Og Josva sa til dem: Gå foran Herrens, eders Guds ark ut i Jordan og ta hver sin sten op på skulderen, efter tallet på Israels barns stammer!

And he said to them Joshua pass over before [the] ark of Yahweh God your into [the] middle of the Jordan and take up for yourselves each a stone one on shoulder his to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel.

6 Disse stener skal være et tegn blandt eder. Når eders barn i fremtiden spør: Hvad er dette for stener?

So that it may be this a sign in midst your if they will ask! children your tomorrow saying what? [are] the stones these to you.

7 da skal I si til dem: Jordans vann delte sig foran Herrens pakts-ark; da den drog ut i Jordan, delte Jordans vann sig, og disse stener skal være til et minne om dette for Israels barn til evig tid.

And you will say to them that they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan from before [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh when passed on it in the Jordan they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan and they will become the stones these a reminder to [the] people of Israel until perpetuity.

8 Israels barn gjorde som Josva bød, og tok tolv stener op av Jordan, således som Herren hadde sagt til Josva, efter tallet på Israels barns stammer, og de bar dem med sig over til det sted hvor de blev natten over, og la dem ned der.

And they did thus [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Joshua and they took up two plus ten stones from [the] middle of the Jordan just as he had said Yahweh to Joshua to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel and they took over them with them to the lodging place and they set down them there.

9 Og ute i Jordan, på det sted hvor de prester som bar paktens ark, stod med sine føtter, reiste Josva tolv stener op, og de står der den dag idag.

And two plus ten stones he set up Joshua in [the] middle of the Jordan in [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the covenant and they have been there until the day this.

10 Prestene som bar paktens ark, blev stående ute i Jordan, til det var skjedd alt det som Herren hadde befalt Josva å si til folket, efter alt det som Moses hadde befalt Josva. Og folket skyndte sig og gikk over.

And the priests [the] bearers of the ark [were] standing in [the] middle of the Jordan until was finished every thing which he had commanded Yahweh Joshua to speak to the people according to all that he had commanded Moses Joshua and they hurried the people and they passed over.

13 Det var omkring firti tusen menn som væbnet til strid drog frem for Herrens åsyn til kamp på Jerikos ødemarker.

14 Den dag gjorde Herren Josva stor for hele Israels øine, og de fryktet ham, likesom de hadde fryktet Moses, alle hans livs dager.

23 fordi Herren eders Gud lot Jordans vann tørke bort foran eder til I kom over, likesom Herren eders Gud gjorde med det Røde Hav, som han lot tørke bort foran oss til vi kom over,

That he dried up Yahweh God your [the] waters of the Jordan from before you until had passed over you just as he did Yahweh God your to [the] sea of reed[s] which he dried up from before us until had passed over we.

24 forat alle folk på jorden skal kjenne at Herrens hånd er sterk, og forat I alle dager skal frykte Herren eders Gud.

So as to know all [the] peoples of the earth [the] hand of Yahweh that [is] mighty it so that you may fear Yahweh God your all the days.
