¹In zgodi se, ko je vse ljudstvo docela prišlo čez Jordan, da veli GOSPOD Jozuetu, rekoč:

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

²Vzemite si izmed ljudstva dvanajst mož, po enega iz vsakega rodu,

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

³in jim ukažite in recite: Vzdignite iz sredi Jordana dvanajst kamenov, z mesta, kjer so trdno stale noge duhovnikov, in prinesite jih s seboj na ono stran, da jih položite v šatorišče, kjer nocoj ostanete.

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.`

⁴Tedaj pokliče Jozue dvanajst mož, ki jih je bil pripravil izmed Izraelovih sinov, iz vsakega rodu po enega;

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

⁵in jim reče: Pojdite tja pred skrinjo GOSPODA, svojega Boga, v sredo Jordana, in vsak vzdigni po en kamen na ramo, po številu rodov sinov Izraelovih,

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,

⁶da bodo v znamenje med vami. Ko bodo pozneje vprašali otroci vaši in rekli: Kaj vam pomenijo ti kameni?

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

⁷jim odgovorite: Da so se razdelile vode jordanske pred skrinjo GOSPODOVE zaveze; ko je šla čez Jordan, so se razdelile jordanske vode; in ti kameni naj bodo sinom Izraelovim v večen spomin.

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.`

⁸In sinovi Izraelovi so storili tako, kakor jim je zapovedal Jozue, in vzdignili so dvanajst kamenov iz sredi Jordana, kakor je GOSPOD govoril Jozuetu, po številu rodov sinov Izraelovih, in so jih prinesli s seboj na mesto, kjer so prenočili, in jih ondi položili.

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,

⁹Jozue je tudi postavil dvanajst kamenov sredi Jordana, na mestu, kjer so stale noge duhovnikov, nesočih skrinjo zaveze, in tam so do današnjegaa dne.

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.

¹⁰Duhovniki pa, ki so nesli skrinjo, so stali sredi Jordana, dokler ni bilo dopolnjeno vse, kar je GOSPOD zapovedal Jozuetu, da naj govori ljudstvu, po vsem, kar je bil Mojzes ukazal Jozuetu. In ljudstvo je hitelo in prešlo na drugo stran.

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.

¹¹In ko je bilo docela prešlo vse ljudstvo, je šla tudi skrinja GOSPODOVA čez in duhovniki, vpričo ljudstva.

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;

¹²In sinovi Rubenovi in Gadovi in polovica Manasejevega rodu so prešli oboroženi pred sinovi Izraelovimi, kakor jim je bil naročil Mojzes.

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;

¹³Okoli štirideset tisoč oboroženih za vojsko jih je prešlo pred GOSPODOM v boj na poljane ob Jerihu.

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

¹⁴Tisti dan je poveličal GOSPOD Jozueta pred očmi vsega Izraela, in bali so se ga, kakor so se bali Mojzesa, dokler je živel.

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.

¹⁵In GOSPOD reče Jozuetu:

¹⁵And Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying,

¹⁶Ukaži duhovnikom, ki nosijo skrinjo pričevanja, naj stopijo gori iz Jordana.

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

¹⁷Ukaže torej Jozue duhovnikom, rekoč: Stopite gori iz Jordana!

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

¹⁸In ko so stopili duhovniki, ki so nesli skrinjo GOSPODOVE zaveze, iz Jordana in so se podplati njih nog povzdignili nad suhim, so se vrnile jordanske vode v svojo strugo in se razlivale po vseh svojih bregovih kakor poprej.

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.

¹⁹Bilo pa je deseti dan prvega meseca, ko je stopilo ljudstvo iz Jordana, in utaborili so se v Gilgalu, proti vzhodu, na skrajni meji Jeriha.

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;

²⁰In tistih dvanajst kamenov, ki so jih vzeli iz Jordana, je postavil Jozue v Gilgalu

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

²¹in je govoril sinovom Izraelovim in rekel: Ko bodo v prihodnjih časih vprašali otroci vaši očete svoje, rekoč: Kaj pomenijo ti kameni?

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

²²razložite jim in recite: Izrael je prešel ta Jordan po suhem.

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

²³Kajti GOSPOD, vaš Bog, je posušil jordanske vode pred vami, dokler niste prešli, kakor je GOSPOD, vaš Bog, storil ob Rdečem morju, katero je posušil pred nami, dokler nismo prešli;da bi spoznali vsi narodi zemlje roko GOSPODOVO, da je mogočna, da bi se vi bali GOSPODA, svojega Boga, vse svoje dni.

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;

²⁴da bi spoznali vsi narodi zemlje roko GOSPODOVO, da je mogočna, da bi se vi bali GOSPODA, svojega Boga, vse svoje 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.`
