¹And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

¹Ja kui kogu rahvas oli läinud üle Jordani, siis rääkis Issand Joosuaga, öeldes:

²Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,

²'Võtke endile rahva hulgast kaksteist meest, igast suguharust mees,

³And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.

³ja andke neile käsk ning öelge: Võtke endile siit Jordani keskelt, kus preestrite jalad seisavad, kaksteist kivi ja viige need enestega kaasa ning asetage leeripaika, kus te sel ööl ööbite!'

⁴Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

⁴Siis Joosua kutsus kaksteist meest, keda ta oli käskinud määrata Iisraeli laste hulgast, igast suguharust ühe mehe,

⁵And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of 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:

⁵ja Joosua ütles neile: 'Minge Issanda, oma Jumala laeka ette keset Jordanit, ja tõstke igamees endile üks kivi õlale, vastavalt Iisraeli laste suguharude arvule,

⁶That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?

⁶et need oleksid teie keskel tähiseks! Kui teie lapsed tulevikus küsivad, öeldes: Mis kivid need teil on?,

⁷Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

⁷siis vastake neile, et Jordani veevool katkes Issanda seaduselaeka ees, kui see läks üle Jordani: Jordani veevool katkes ja need kivid olgu Iisraeli lastele igaveseks mälestuseks!'

⁸And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

⁸Ja Iisraeli lapsed tegid nõnda, nagu Joosua käskis, ja võtsid vastavalt Iisraeli laste suguharude arvule Jordani keskelt kaksteist kivi, nagu Issand oli Joosuale öelnud, ja viisid enestega kaasa leeripaika ning asetasid sinna.

⁹And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.

⁹Ja kaksteist kivi püstitas Joosua keset Jordanit, sinna kohta, kus seaduselaegast kandvate preestrite jalad olid seisnud; ja need on seal tänapäevani.

¹⁰For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.

¹⁰Ja preestrid, kes kandsid laegast, seisid keset Jordanit, kuni oli tehtud kõik, mida Issand oli käskinud Joosuat rahvale öelda, just nõnda nagu Mooses oli käskinud Joosuat; ja rahvas läks rutates üle jõe.

¹¹And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

¹¹Ja kui kogu rahvas viimseni oli üle läinud, siis läksid Issanda laegas ja preestrid rahva ette.

¹²And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:

¹²Ja ruubenlased, gaadlased ja Manasse pool suguharu läksid võitlusvalmilt Iisraeli laste eel, nagu Mooses neid oli käskinud.

¹³About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

¹³Ligi nelikümmend tuhat sõjaks varustatud meest läks Issanda palge ees võitlusesse Jeeriko lagendikel.

¹⁴On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

¹⁴Sel päeval tegi Issand Joosua suureks kogu Iisraeli silmis ja nad kartsid teda, nõnda nagu nad olid kartnud Moosest, kogu ta eluaja.

¹⁵And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

¹⁵Ja Issand rääkis Joosuaga, öeldes:

¹⁶Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.

¹⁶'Käsi preestreid, kes kannavad tunnistuslaegast, et nad tuleksid Jordanist üles!'

¹⁷Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.

¹⁷Ja Joosua andis preestritele käsu, öeldes: 'Tulge Jordanist üles!'

¹⁸And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.

¹⁸Ja kui preestrid, kes kandsid Issanda seaduselaegast, tulid üles Jordani keskelt, ja preestrite jalatallad olid lahkunud kuivale, siis pöördus Jordani vesi tagasi oma paika ja voolas nagu ennegi üle kõigi kallaste.

¹⁹And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.

¹⁹Rahvas tuli Jordani äärest üles esimese kuu kümnendal päeval ja nad lõid leeri üles Gilgalisse, Jeeriko idapoolsele piirile.

²⁰And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.

²⁰Ja need kaksteist kivi, mis nad olid võtnud Jordanist, pani Joosua püsti Gilgalis.

²¹And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

²¹Ja ta rääkis Iisraeli lastega ning ütles: 'Kui teie lapsed tulevikus küsivad oma vanemailt, öeldes: Mis kivid need on?,

²²Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

²²siis tehke oma lastele teatavaks, öeldes: Iisrael läks kuiva mööda läbi Jordani,

²³For the LORD your God dried up the waters of 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:

²³sest Issand, teie Jumal, kuivatas teie eest Jordani vee, kuni te olite läbi läinud, nõnda nagu Issand, teie Jumal, talitas Kõrkjamerega, mille ta kuivatas meie eest, kuni olime läbi läinud,

²⁴That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.

²⁴et kõik maailma rahvad tunneksid Issanda kätt, kui vägev see on, et te igal ajal kardaksite Issandat, oma Jumalat.'
