Joshua 4
1 And whanne thei weren passid ouer, the Lord seide to Josue,
Awo Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baamala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti,
2 Chese thou twelue men,
“Yungula abasajja kkumi na babiri mu buli kika ng’olondamu omu omu.”
3 by ech lynage o man, and comaunde thou to hem, that thei take fro the myddis of the trow of Jordan, where the `feet of preestis stoden, twelue hardiste stoonys; whiche thou schalt sette in the place of castels, where ye schulen sette tentis in this nyyt.
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.”
4 And Josue clepide twelue men, whiche he hadde chose of the sones of Israel, of ech lynage o man;
Yoswa n’ayita abasajja kkumi na babiri be yalonda mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, n’abagamba nti,
5 and he seide to hem, Go ye bifore the arke of youre Lord God to the myddis of Jordan, and bere ye fro thennus in youre schuldris ech man o stoon, bi the noumbre of the sones of Israel,
“Mukulembere mu maaso g’Essanduuko ya Mukama Katonda wammwe era buli omu ku mmwe alonde ejjinja limu ng’aliggya mu mugga guno Yoludaani alyetikke ku kibegabega kye.
6 that it be a signe bitwixe you. And whanne youre sones schulen axe you to morewe, that is, in tyme `to comynge, and schulen seie, What wolen these stonus `to hem silf?
Kano kalyoke kababeerere akabonero gye muli era mu mirembe ejijja, abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza amayinja gano kye gategeeza,
7 ye schulen answere to hem, The watris of Jordan failiden bifor the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, whanne the arke passide Jordan; therfor these stoonus ben set in to mynde of the sones of Israel, til in to withouten ende.
mulibagamba nti essanduuko y’Endagaano ya Mukama bwe yali ng’esomosebwa omugga Yoludaani, amazzi gaagwo ne geetuuma ng’ogusenge okutuusa Essanduuko bwe yamala okuyisibwawo. Kale amayinja gano, Abayisirayiri galibabeerera ekijjukizo emirembe gyonna.”
8 Therfor the sones of Israel diden as Josue comaundide to hem, and baren fro the myddis of the trow of Jordan twelue stoonys, as the Lord comaundide to hem, bi the noumbre of the sones of Israel, `til to the place in which thei settiden tentis; and there thei puttiden tho stonys.
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 Also Josue puttide othire twelue stoonys in the myddis of the trow of Jordan, where the preestis stoden, that baren the arke of boond of pees of the Lord; and tho stoonys ben there `til in to present dai.
Yoswa n’asimba amayinja kkumi n’abiri mu kifo bakabona abaasitula Essanduuko ey’Endagaano we baalinnya era we gali ne kaakano.
10 Forsothe the preestis, that baren the arke, stoden in the myddis of Jordan, til alle thingis weren fillid, whiche the Lord comaundide, that Josue schulde speke to the puple, as Moises hadde seide to hym. And the puple hastide, and passide.
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 And whanne alle men hadden passid, also the arke of the Lord passide, and the preestis yeden bifor the puple.
Abantu bonna nga bamaze okusomoka, bakabona ne basomosa Essanduuko ya Mukama abantu bonna nga babayeegese amaaso.
12 Also the sones of Ruben, and of Gad, and half the lynage of Manasse, yeden armed bifor the sones of Israel, as Moyses comaundide to hem.
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 And fourti thousynde of fiyters yeden bi her cumpanyes and gaderyngis on the pleyn and feeldi places of the citee of Jerico.
bonna abaali bambalidde ebyokulwanyisa baali emitwalo ng’ena mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, olwo ne boolekera eyali olutalo mu lusenyi lw’e Yeriko.
14 In that day the Lord magnyfiede Josue bifor al Israel, that thei schulden drede hym, as thei dreden Moises, while he lyuede yit.
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 And the Lord seide to Josue,
Awo Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti,
16 Comaunde thou to the preestis that beren the arke of boond of pees, that thei stie fro Jordan.
“Lagira bakabona abasitula Essanduuko ey’Obujulirwa baveeyo mu mugga.”
17 And Josue comaundide to hem, and seide, Stie ye fro Jordan.
Bw’atyo Yoswa n’alagira bakabona nti, “Muveeyo mu mugga Yoludaani.”
18 And whanne thei hadden stied, berynge the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, and hadde bigunne to trede on the drie erthe, the watris turneden ayen in to her trowe, and flowiden, as tho weren wont before.
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 Forsothe the puple stiede fro Jordan in the tenthe dai of the firste monethe, and thei settiden tentis in Galgalis, ayens the eest coost of the citee of Jerico.
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 Also Josue puttide in Galgalis the twelue stonys, whiche thei hadden take fro the trow of Jordan.
Amayinja ekkumi n’abiri agaggibwa mu Yoludaani, Yoswa n’agasimba mu Girugaali.
21 And he seide to the sones of Israel, Whanne youre sones schulen axe to morewe her fadris, and schulen seie to hem, What wolen these stoonys `to hem silf?
N’agamba Abayisirayiri nti, “Abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza amakulu g’amayinja gano,
22 ye schulen teche hem, and ye schulen seie, We passiden this Jordan bi the drie botme,
mulibaddamu nti, ‘Abayisirayiri bwe baali banaatera okusomoka omugga Yoludaani,
23 for oure Lord God driede the watris therof in oure siyt, til we passiden, as he dide bifore in the Reed See, which he driede while we passiden,
Mukama n’akaliza omugga ogwo okutuusa nga bamaze okugusomoka ne kifaananako nga Mukama Katonda bwe yakola Ennyanja Emyufu.’
24 that alle the puplis of londis lurne the strongeste hond of the Lord, that also ye drede youre Lord God in al tyme.
Ebyo byabaawo abantu b’omu nsi yonna bategeere ng’omukono gwa Mukama gwa maanyi era nammwe mulyoke mutye Mukama Katonda wammwe emirembe gyonna.”
