¹A stalo sa, keď už bol prešiel celý národ cez Jordán, že riekol Hospodin Jozuovi povediac:

¹And it cometh to pass, when all the nation hath completed to pass over the Jordan, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,

²Vezmite si z ľudu dvanástich mužov: po jednom mužovi z každého pokolenia,

²`Take for you out of the people twelve men, one man — one man out of a tribe;

³prikážte im a recte: Vezmite si odtiaľto, z prostredku Jordána, s miesta, na ktorom stoja nepohnute nohy kňazov, dvanásť kameňov a vynesiete ich so sebou a složíte ich na nocľažišti, na ktorom budete nocovať tejto noci.

³and command ye them, saying, Take up for you from this [place], from the midst of the Jordan, from the established standing-place of the feet of the priests, twelve stones, and ye have removed them over with you, and placed them in the lodging-place in which ye lodge to-night.`

⁴Vtedy zavolal Jozua dvanástich mužov, ktorých bol ustanovil nato zo synov Izraelových, z každého pokolenia jedného muža,

⁴And Joshua calleth unto the twelve men whom he prepared out of the sons of Israel, one man — one man out of a tribe;

⁵a riekol im Jozua: Iďte pred truhlou Hospodina, svojho Boha, doprostred Jordána a vezmite si odtiaľ každý jeden kameň na svoje plece podľa počtu pokolení synov Izraelových,

⁵and Joshua saith to them, `Pass over before the ark of Jehovah your God unto the midst of the Jordan and lift up for you each, one stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,

⁶aby vám to bolo na znamenie vo vašom strede. Keď sa voľakedy budú pýtať vaši synovia a povedia: Načo sú vám tieto kamene?

⁶so that this is a sign in your midst, when your children ask hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones to you?

⁷Poviete im, že sa boly kedysi odrezaly vody Jordána pred truhlou smluvy Hospodinovej; keď išla cez Jordán, boly sa odrezaly vody Jordána, a tieto kamene sú na pamiatku synom Izraelovým až na veky.

⁷that ye have said to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off, at the presence of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; in its passing over into the Jordan were the waters of the Jordan cut off; and these stones have been for a memorial to the sons of Israel — to the age.`

⁸A synovia Izraelovi učinili tak, ako prikázal Jozua, a vzali dvanásť kameňov zprostred Jordána tak, ako hovoril Hospodin Jozuovi, podľa počtu pokolení synov Izraelových, a odniesli ich so sebou na nocľažište a složili ich tam.

⁸And the sons of Israel do so as Joshua commanded, and take up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah hath spoken unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and remove them over with them unto the lodging-place, and place them there,

⁹A dvanásť iných kameňov postavil Jozua prostred Jordána, na mieste, na ktorom stály nohy kňazov, ktorí niesli truhlu smluvy, a sú tam až do toho dňa.

⁹even the twelve stones hath Joshua raised up out of the midst of the Jordan, the place of the standing of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, and they are there unto this day.

¹⁰A kňazi, ktorí niesli truhlu, stáli prostred Jordána, dokiaľ sa nevyplnilo každé slovo, ktoré prikázal Hospodin Jozuovi hovoriť ľudu, všetko tak, ako bol prikázal Mojžiš Jozuovi. A ľudia sa ponáhľali a prešli.

¹⁰And the priests bearing the ark are standing in the midst of the Jordan till the completion of the whole thing which Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, and the people haste and pass over.

¹¹A stalo sa, keď už bol prešiel všetok ľud, že prešla i truhla Hospodinova i kňazi pred ľudom.

¹¹And it cometh to pass when all the people have completed to pass over, that the ark of Jehovah passeth over, and the priests, in the presence of the people;

¹²A prešli aj synovia Rúbenovi aj synovia Gádovi jako aj polovica pokolenia Manassesovho, pripravení do boja, pred synmi Izraelovými tak, ako im hovoril Mojžiš;

¹²and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, pass over, by fifties, before the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them;

¹³bolo ich okolo štyridsať tisíc, ozbrojených do vojny, a prešli pred Hospodinom do boja na roviny Jericha.

¹³about forty thousand, armed ones of the host, passed over before Jehovah for battle, unto the plains of Jericho.

¹⁴Toho dňa zvelebil Hospodin Jozuu v očiach celého Izraela, a preto sa ho báli, jako sa báli Mojžiša, po všetky dni jeho života.

¹⁴On that day hath Jehovah made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel, and they reverence him, as they reverenced Moses, all days of his life.

¹⁵A Hospodin riekol Jozuovi:

¹⁵And Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,

¹⁶Prikáž kňazom, ktorí nesú truhlu svedoctva, aby vyšli hore z Jordána.

¹⁶`Command the priests bearing the ark of the testimony, and they come up out of the Jordan.`

¹⁷Vtedy prikázal Jozua kňazom a riekol: Vyjdite hore z Jordána!

¹⁷And Joshua commandeth the priests, saying, `Come ye up out of the Jordan.`

¹⁸A stalo sa, keď vyšli kňazi, ktorí niesli truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej, zprostred Jordána, a stupy nôh kňazov sa odtrhly a vkročili na sucho, že sa navrátily vody Jordána na svoje miesto a tiekly jako predtým, ponad všetky jeho brehy.

¹⁸And it cometh to pass, in the coming up of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the midst of the Jordan — the soles of the feet of the priests have been drawn up into the dry ground — and the waters of the Jordan turn back to their place, and go as heretofore over all its banks.

¹⁹A ľud vyšiel hore z Jordána desiateho dňa prvého mesiaca, a táborili v Gilgale na pokraji východne od Jericha.

¹⁹And the people have come up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamp in Gilgal, in the extremity east of Jericho;

²⁰A tých dvanásť kameňov, ktoré vzali z Jordána, postavil Jozua v Gilgale.

²⁰and these twelve stones, which they have taken out of the Jordan, hath Joshua raised up in Gilgal.

²¹A riekol synom Izraelovým: Keď sa zajtra voľakedy budú pýtať vaši synovia svojich otcov a povedia: Čo znamenajú tieto kamene?

²¹And he speaketh unto the sons of Israel, saying, `When your sons ask their fathers hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones?

²²Oznámite svojim synom a poviete: Izrael prešiel tento Jordán po suchu,

²²then ye have caused your sons to know, saying, On dry land Israel passed over this Jordan;

²³lebo Hospodin, váš Bôh, vysušil vody Jordána pred vami, a bolo tak, dokiaľ ste neprešli, tak ako učinil Hospodin, váš Bôh, Rudému moru, ktoré bol vysušil pred nami, dokiaľ sme neprešli,

²³because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan at your presence, till your passing over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea which He dried up at our presence till our passing over;

²⁴aby poznaly všetky národy zeme ruku Hospodinovu, že je silná, a aby ste sa báli Hospodina, svojho Boha, po všetky dni.

²⁴so that all the people of the land do know the hand of Jehovah that it [is] strong, so that ye have reverenced Jehovah your God all the days.`
