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

¹And it came to pass when the whole nation had completely gone over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,

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

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

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!'

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

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

⁴And Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had appointed of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe;

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

⁵and Joshua said to them, Pass before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and lift up each of you a stone [and put it] upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

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

⁶that this may be a sign in your midst. When your children ask hereafter, saying, What mean ye by these stones?

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!'

⁷then ye shall say to them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it went through 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.

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.

⁸And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua had commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging-place, and laid them down there.

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

⁹And twelve stones did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood firm; and they are there to this day.

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.

¹⁰And the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hasted and passed over.

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

¹¹And it came to pass, when all the people had completely gone over, that the ark of Jehovah went over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

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

¹²And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, went over in array before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.

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

¹³About forty thousand armed for military service passed over before Jehovah to the war, unto the plains of Jericho.

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

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

¹⁵Ja Issand rääkis Joosuaga, öeldes:

¹⁵And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,

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

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

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

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

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.

¹⁸And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, [when] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on to the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and they flowed as previously, over all its banks.

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

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

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

²⁰And those twelve stones which they had taken out of the Jordan did Joshua set up in Gilgal.

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

²¹And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children hereafter ask their fathers, saying, What [mean] these stones?

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

²²then ye shall let your children know, saying, On dry land did Israel come over this Jordan;

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,

²³because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;

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

²⁴that all peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye might fear Jehovah your God continually.
