1 O o markii quruuntii oo dhammu ay ka wada gudubtay Webi Urdun, ayaa Rabbigu Yashuuca la hadlay, oo ku yidhi,

When all the nation had crossed the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua,

2 D adka kala bax laba iyo toban nin, qabiil walba nin,

“Choose twelve men from the people, one man from each family.

3 o o waxaad iyaga ku amartaa oo ku tidhaahdaa, Webi Urdun dhexdiisa oo ah meeshii cagaha wadaaddadu istaageen, waxaad ka qaaddaan laba iyo toban dhagax, oo waxaad ula gudubtaan dhanka kale, oo waxaad dhigtaan meeshaad caawa ku dhaxaysaan.

Tell them, ‘Take twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan. Take them from the place where the religious leaders’ feet are standing. Carry them over with you, and lay them down in the place where you stay tonight.’”

4 M arkaasaa Yashuuca u yeedhay laba iyo tobankii nin, oo uu ka diyaariyey reer binu Israa'iil, oo qabiil walbana nin buu ka soo soocay.

So Joshua called the twelve men he had chosen from the sons of Israel, one man from each family.

5 O o Yashuuca wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Ka hor gudba sanduuqa Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo waxaad tagtaan Webi Urdun dhexdiisa, oo midkiin waluba dhagax garabka ha ku qaado, inta reer binu Israa'iil qabiilooyinkooda tiradoodu tahay,

And Joshua said to them, “Go into the middle of the Jordan in front of the special box of the agreement of the Lord your God. Each of you take a stone on his shoulder, one for each of the twelve family groups of Israel.

6 i n taasu idiin ahaato calaamo idin dhex taal, oo wakhtiga soo socda markii carruurtiinnu idin weyddiiyaan, oo idinku yidhaahdaan, Maxaad ula jeeddaan dhagaxyadan?

Let this be something special among you. Your children will ask you later, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’

7 W axaad ku odhan doontaan, Sababtu waxa weeye, biyihii Webi Urdun baa ku hor kala go'ay sanduuqa axdiga Ilaah; oo markii uu ka gudbayay Webi Urdun ayay biyihii Webi Urdun kala go'een; oo dhagaxyadanu xusuus bay u ahaan doonaan reer binu Israa'iil weligood.

Then you will tell them that the water of the Jordan was cut off before the special box of the agreement of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the water of the Jordan was cut off. So these stones will become something to remember to the people of Israel forever.”

8 O o reer binu Israa'iil waxay yeeleen sidii Yashuuca ku amray, oo waxay Webi Urdun dhexdiisa ka qaadeen laba iyo toban dhagax, oo ah intii qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil tiradoodu ahayd sidii Rabbigu u sheegay Yashuuca, oo waxay u gudbiyeen meeshii ay ku dhaxeen, oo halkaasay dhigeen.

The sons of Israel did as Joshua told them. They took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, just as the Lord told Joshua. There was one stone for each family group of the sons of Israel. They carried them over with them to the place where they stayed, and put them down there.

9 O o Yashuuca wuxuu laba iyo toban dhagax qotomiyey Webi Urdun dhexdiisa, taasoo ah meeshii wadaaddada sida sanduuqa axdiga ay cagahoodu istaageen; oo ilaa maantadan weli meeshii bay jiraan.

Then Joshua set up twelve stones at the place where the feet of the religious leaders who carried the special box of the agreement were standing in the middle of the Jordan. They are there to this day.

10 W aayo, wadaaddadii siday sanduuqa waxay istaageen Webi Urdun dhexdiisa, ilaa ay dhammaadeen wax waluba wixii Rabbigu ku amray Yashuuca inuu dadka kula hadlo, sidii wixii Muuse ku amray Yashuuca oo dhan, oo dadkiina way degdegeen oo gudbeen.

The religious leaders who carried the special box of the agreement stood in the middle of the Jordan. They stood there until everything was finished that the Lord told Joshua to tell the people, all that Moses had told Joshua. The people crossed in a hurry.

11 O o waxaa dhacday markii ay dadkii oo dhammu wada gudbeen inuu sanduuqii Rabbiguna gudbay, isaga iyo wadaaddadiiba, dadkii oo arka.

When all the people were over, they watched the religious leaders carry the special box of the agreement to the other side.

12 O o reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo qabiilkii reer Manaseh badhkiis ayaa reer binu Israa'iil ka hor gudbay, iyagoo hub leh, sidii Muuse kula hadlay iyaga.

The sons of Reuben and Gad and the half-family group of Manasseh crossed over ready for battle before the people of Israel, just as Moses had told them.

13 Q iyaas afar kun oo nin oo hub leh oo dagaal diyaar u ah ayaa Rabbiga hortiisa ka gudubtay oo dagaal ugu kacday xagga bannaanka Yerixoo.

About 40, 000 soldiers ready for battle crossed before the Lord to the desert plains of Jericho.

14 O o maalintaas Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku weyneeyey reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan hortooda; oo cimrigiisii oo dhanba way ka cabsadeen isagii, sidii ay Muuse uga baqi jireen oo kale.

On that day the Lord gave Joshua honor in the eyes of all Israel. So they honored him as a great man just as they had honored Moses all the days of his life.

15 M arkaasaa Rabbigu Yashuuca la hadlay, oo ku yidhi,

The Lord said to Joshua,

16 W adaaddada sanduuqa maragga sida waxaad ku amartaa inay ka soo baxaan Webi Urdun.

“Tell the religious leaders who carry the special box of the agreement to come up from the Jordan.”

17 O o sidaas daraaddeed Yashuuca baa amray wadaaddadii, oo ku yidhi, Ka soo baxa Webi Urdun.

So Joshua told the religious leaders to come up from the Jordan.

18 O o markii wadaaddadii siday sanduuqa axdigii Rabbiga ay ka soo dhex bexeen Webi Urdun, oo ay cagaha u qaadeen dhul engegan, ayay biyihii Webi Urdun meeshoodii ku soo noqdeen, oo ay qararkiisii oo dhan ka daateen sidii markii hore.

The religious leaders who carried the special box of the agreement of the Lord came up from the middle of the Jordan. When their feet stepped on dry ground, the water of the Jordan returned to its place. It flowed over its sides as before.

19 O o dadku waxay Webi Urdun ka soo bexeen maalintii tobnaad oo bishii kowaad, oo waxay degeen Gilgaal oo xagga bari ka xigta Yerixoo.

The people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month. Then they stayed at Gilgal on the east side of Jericho.

20 O o laba iyo tobankii dhagax oo ay ka soo qaadeen Webi Urdun dhexdiisa ayuu Yashuuca qotomiyey Gilgaal.

Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.

21 M arkaasuu ka hadlay reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Wakhtiga soo socda markii carruurtiinnu aabbayaashood weyddiiyaan, oo yidhaahdaan, Maxaad ula jeeddaan dhagaxyadan?

He said to the people of Israel, “Your children will ask their fathers some time in the future, ‘What do these stones mean?’

22 W axaad carruurtiinna ogeysiisaan, oo ku tidhaahdaan, Reer binu Israa'iil Webigan Urdun waxay kaga soo gudbeen dhul engegan.

Then let your children know that Israel crossed this Jordan on dry ground.

23 W aayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah baa hortiinna ka engejiyey biyihii Webi Urdun, ilaa aad ka soo gudubteen, sidii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu u galay Badda Cas oo kale, tii uu hortayada ka engejiyey ilaa aannu ka gudubnay,

For the Lord your God dried up the water of the Jordan before you until you had crossed. It was just as the Lord your God had done to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed.

24 s i ay dadka dhulka jooga oo dhammu u ogaadaan gacanta Rabbigu inay xoog badan tahay; oo ay weligood uga cabsadaan Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.

Now all the people of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is powerful, so that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”
