¹It happened, when all the nation had completely passed over the Jordan, that Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,

¹Sesudah seluruh bangsa itu berada di seberang, TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua,

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

²"Pilihlah dua belas orang, seorang dari setiap suku.

³and command them, saying, ‘Take from out of the middle of the Jordan, out of 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 you will lodge tonight.’”

³Perintahkan mereka untuk mengambil dua belas buah batu dari tengah-tengah Sungai Yordan, tepat di tempat para imam berdiri. Suruh mereka memikul batu-batu itu sampai ke tempat kamu berkemah pada waktu malam nanti."

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

⁴Maka Yosua memanggil kedua belas orang yang terpilih itu,

⁵Joshua said to them, “Pass over before the ark of Yahweh your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you pick up a stone and put it on your shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;

⁵lalu berkata, "Pergilah ke tengah Sungai Yordan, ke depan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN Allahmu. Masing-masing harus mengangkat sebuah batu dari situ--jumlahnya dua belas batu sesuai dengan jumlah suku-suku dalam bangsa Israel.

⁶that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’

⁶Batu-batu itu akan mengingatkan bangsa ini kepada apa yang sudah dilakukan oleh TUHAN. Di kemudian hari kalau anak-anakmu bertanya apa artinya batu-batu ini bagimu,

⁷then you shall tell them, ‘Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.’”

⁷hendaklah kalian memberitahukan kepada mereka bahwa air Sungai Yordan terputus ketika Peti Perjanjian TUHAN dibawa menyeberangi sungai itu. Batu-batu itu akan selalu mengingatkan bangsa Israel kepada apa yang terjadi di sini."

⁸The children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as Yahweh spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

⁸Kedua belas orang itu pun melaksanakan perintah Yosua. Sesuai dengan petunjuk TUHAN kepada Yosua, mereka mengambil dua belas batu dari tengah-tengah Yordan--jumlahnya sesuai dengan jumlah suku-suku dalam bangsa Israel--lalu membawanya ke tempat perkemahan mereka.

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

⁹Di tengah-tengah Yordan itu juga, Yosua menyusun dua belas buah batu tepat di tempat berdirinya para imam yang memikul Peti Perjanjian itu. (Batu-batu itu masih ada di situ sampai sekarang.)

¹⁰For the priests who bore the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Yahweh commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and passed over.

¹⁰Para imam tetap berdiri di tengah-tengah Yordan sampai orang-orang itu selesai melakukan segala yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada mereka melalui Yosua. Itu sesuai dengan petunjuk-petunjuk dari Musa kepada Yosua. Dengan cepat umat Israel menyeberangi Sungai Yordan.

¹¹It happened, when all the people had completely passed over, that the ark of Yahweh passed over, with the priests, in the presence of the people.

¹¹Setelah semua sampai di seberang, para imam yang memikul Peti Perjanjian itu berjalan di depan mereka.

¹²The children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke to them.

¹²Sesuai dengan yang diperintahkan oleh Musa, pejuang-pejuang dari suku Ruben, Gad dan separuh suku Manasye, telah lebih dahulu menyeberangi sungai.

¹³About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war passed over before Yahweh to battle, to the plains of Jericho.

¹³Semuanya 40.000 orang laki-laki yang bersenjata dan siap untuk bertempur di hadapan TUHAN, mereka menyeberang menuju ke dataran rendah di dekat Yerikho.

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

¹⁴Hari itu TUHAN melakukan hal-hal yang membuat bangsa Israel menghormati Yosua sebagai orang besar. Seumur hidupnya mereka menghormati dia seperti mereka menghormati Musa.

¹⁵Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,

¹⁵Kemudian TUHAN menyuruh Yosua

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

¹⁶memerintahkan para imam yang memikul Peti Perjanjian itu supaya keluar dari Yordan.

¹⁷Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, “Come up out of the Jordan!”

¹⁷Yosua melakukan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya.

¹⁸It happened, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh had come up out of the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before.

¹⁸Begitu para imam itu sampai di tepi sungai, air sungai itu mulai mengalir kembali dan meluap seperti semula.

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

¹⁹Umat Israel tiba di seberang Yordan dan pada tanggal sepuluh bulan pertama, dan mereka berkemah di Gilgal sebelah timur Yerikho.

²⁰Joshua set up those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, in Gilgal.

²⁰Di situ Yosua menyusun kedua belas batu yang diambil dari dalam Yordan.

²¹He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean?’

²¹Lalu Yosua berkata kepada umat Israel, "Di kemudian hari apabila anak-anakmu menanyakan tentang arti dari batu-batu ini,

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

²²beritahukanlah kepada mereka bahwa umat Israel menyeberangi Sungai Yordan ini di atas tanah yang kering.

²³For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until you had passed over, as Yahweh your God did to the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds , which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;

²³Ceritakan kepada mereka bahwa TUHAN Allahmu mengeringkan air Sungai Yordan itu untuk kalian sampai kalian semuanya tiba di seberang, sama seperti Ia mengeringkan Laut Gelagah untuk kami,

²⁴that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Yahweh, that it is mighty; that you may fear Yahweh your God forever.’”

²⁴supaya semua orang di dunia mengetahui betapa besarnya kuasa TUHAN. Dan dengan demikian kalian akan menghormati TUHAN Allahmu untuk selama-lamanya."
