4 (A)Awo Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baamala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, 2 (B)“Yungula abasajja kkumi na babiri mu buli kika ng’olondamu omu omu.” 3 (C)Obakuutire nti, “Mulonde amayinja kkumi n’abiri nga mugaggya wakati mu mugga Yoludaani awo wennyini bakabona we balinnye ebigere byabwe, mugende nago okutuukira ddala we munaasula ekiro kino.”

Kale amayinja gano, Abayisirayiri galibabeerera ekijjukizo emirembe gyonna.”
8 (F)Abasajja Abayisirayiri ne bakola nga Yoswa bwe yabakuutira, ne balonda amayinja kkumi n’abiri nga bagaggya mu mugga Yoludaani ng’omuwendo gw’ebika by’Abayisirayiri bwe gwali. Ne bagasitula okugatuusiza ddala we baali bagenda okusula nga Mukama bwe yagamba Yoswa. 9 (G)Yoswa n’asimba amayinja kkumi n’abiri mu kifo bakabona abaasitula Essanduuko ey’Endagaano we baalinnya era we gali ne kaakano.
10 Bakabona abaasitula Essanduuko ne bayimirira wakati mu Yoludaani okutuusa nga Abayisirayiri bamaze okutuukiriza byonna Mukama bye yabalagira ng’ayita mu Musa ne Yoswa. Abantu bonna ne basomoka bunnambiro. 11 Abantu bonna nga bamaze okusomoka, bakabona ne basomosa Essanduuko ya Mukama abantu bonna nga babayeegese amaaso. 12 (H)Awo abasajja ab’ekika kya Lewubeeni, n’ekya Gaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase ne basomoka ne bayita ku Bayisirayiri bonna nga babagalidde ebyokulwanyisa nga Musa bwe yabagamba, 13 bonna abaali bambalidde ebyokulwanyisa baali emitwalo ng’ena mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, olwo ne boolekera eyali olutalo mu lusenyi lw’e Yeriko. 14 (I)Ku lunaku olwo Mukama n’agulumiza nnyo Yoswa mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri bonna, ne bamussaamu ekitiibwa ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe nga bwe baakolanga Musa.
15 Awo Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, 16 (J)“Lagira bakabona abasitula Essanduuko ey’Obujulirwa baveeyo mu mugga.” 17 Bw’atyo Yoswa n’alagira bakabona nti, “Muveeyo mu mugga Yoludaani.” 18 (K)Bakabona abasitula Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ya Mukama olwalinnya ebigere byabwe ku lukalu, amazzi gonna aga Yoludaani ne gakomawo mu kkubo lyago n’okwanjaala ne ganjaala nga bulijjo. 19 (L)Bwe batyo Abayisirayiri ne basitula okuva ku Yoludaani ku lunaku olw’ekkumi mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye ne batuuka e Girugaali ne basiisira awo kumpi n’ensalo ey’ebuvanjuba eya Yeriko. 20 (M)Amayinja ekkumi n’abiri agaggibwa mu Yoludaani, Yoswa n’agasimba mu Girugaali. 21 (N)N’agamba Abayisirayiri nti, “Abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza amakulu g’amayinja gano, 22 (O)mulibaddamu nti, ‘Abayisirayiri bwe baali banaatera okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, 23 (P)Mukama n’akaliza omugga ogwo okutuusa nga bamaze okugusomoka ne kifaananako nga Mukama Katonda bwe yakola Ennyanja Emyufu.’ 24 (Q)Ebyo byabaawo abantu b’omu nsi yonna bategeere ng’omukono gwa Mukama gwa maanyi era nammwe mulyoke mutye Mukama Katonda wammwe emirembe gyonna.”
Joshua 4
New International Version
Joshua 4
New International Version
4 When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan,(A) the Lord said to Joshua, 2 “Choose twelve men(B) from among the people, one from each tribe, 3 and tell them to take up twelve stones(C) from the middle of the Jordan,(D) from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.(E)”
4 So Joshua called together the twelve men(F) he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, 5 and said to them, “Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan.(G) Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, 6 to serve as a sign(H) among you. In the future, when your children(I) ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’(J) 7 tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off(K) before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial(L) to the people of Israel forever.”
8 So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones(M) from the middle of the Jordan,(N) according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the Lord had told Joshua;(O) and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down. 9 Joshua set up the twelve stones(P) that had been[a] in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.(Q)
10 Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the Lord had commanded Joshua was done by the people, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried over, 11 and as soon as all of them had crossed, the ark of the Lord and the priests came to the other side while the people watched. 12 The men of Reuben,(R) Gad(S) and the half-tribe of Manasseh(T) crossed over, ready for battle, in front of the Israelites,(U) as Moses had directed them.(V) 13 About forty thousand armed for battle(W) crossed over(X) before the Lord to the plains of Jericho for war.
14 That day the Lord exalted(Y) Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him all the days of his life, just as they had stood in awe of Moses.
15 Then the Lord said to Joshua, 16 “Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant law(Z) to come up out of the Jordan.”
17 So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.”
18 And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place(AA) and ran at flood stage(AB) as before.
19 On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal(AC) on the eastern border of Jericho. 20 And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones(AD) they had taken out of the Jordan. 21 He said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’(AE) 22 tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’(AF) 23 For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea[b] when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over.(AG) 24 He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know(AH) that the hand of the Lord is powerful(AI) and so that you might always fear the Lord your God.(AJ)”
