וַֽיְהִי֙ כַּאֲשֶׁר־תַּ֣מּוּ כׇל־הַגּ֔וֹי לַעֲב֖וֹר אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֑ן {פ} וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהֹוָ֔ה אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ לֵאמֹֽר׃
καὶ ἐπεὶ συνετέλεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβαίνων τὸν Ιορδάνην καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγων
Quibus transgressis, dixit Dominus ad Josue :
ወሶበ ፡ ተገምረ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ሕዝብ ፡ ወዐደው ፡ ዮርዳንስ ፡ ወይቤሎ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ለኢየሱስ ፤
When all the nation had completely crossed over the Jordan, Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,
4:2

παραλαβὼν ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς
Elige duodecim viros singulos per singulas tribus :
ንሣእ ፡ ዐሠርተ ፡ ወክልኤተ ፡ ዕደወ ፡ አሐደ ፡ አሐደ ፡ ብእሴ ፡ እምነ ፡ አሐዱ ፡ አሐዱ ፡ ነገድ ።
“Take twelve men out of the people, a man out of every tribe,
4:3

σύνταξον αὐτοῖς λέγων ἀνέλεσθε ἐκ μέσου τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἑτοίμους δώδεκα λίθους καὶ τούτους διακομίσαντες ἅμα ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς θέτε αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ στρατοπεδείᾳ ὑμῶν οὗ ἐὰν παρεμβάλητε ἐκεῖ τὴν νύκτα
et praecipe eis ut tollant de medio Jordanis alveo, ubi steterunt pedes sacerdotum, duodecim durissimos lapides, quos ponetis in loco castrorum, ubi fixeritis hac nocte tentoria.

and command them, saying, ‘Take from out of the middle of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, carry them over with you, and lay them down in the place where you’ll camp tonight.’”
4:4
וַיִּקְרָ֣א יְהוֹשֻׁ֗עַ אֶל־שְׁנֵ֤ים הֶעָשָׂר֙ אִ֔ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֵכִ֖ין מִבְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אִישׁ־אֶחָ֥ד אִישׁ־אֶחָ֖ד מִשָּֽׁבֶט׃
καὶ ἀνακαλεσάμενος Ἰησοῦς δώδεκα ἄνδρας τῶν ἐνδόξων ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς
Vocavitque Josue duodecim viros, quos elegerat de filiis Israël, singulos de singulis tribubus,
ወጸውዐ ፡ ኢየሱስ ፡ ዐሠርተ ፡ ወክልኤተ ፡ ዕደወ ፡ እምውስተ ፡ ክቡራኒሆሙ ፡ ለደቂቀ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ አሐደ ፡ አሐደ ፡ ብእሴ ፡ እምነ ፡ አሐዱ ፡ አሐዱ ፡ ነገድ ።
Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe.
4:5

et ait ad eos : Ite ante arcam Domini Dei vestri ad Jordanis medium, et portate inde singuli singulos lapides in humeris vestris, juxta numerum filiorum Israël,
ወይቤሎሙ ፡ ኢየሱስ ፡ ንዑ ፡ ወአምጽኡ ፡ ቅድሜየ ፡ ወቅድመ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ እምነ ፡ ማእከለ ፡ ዮርዳንስ ፡ ወንሥኡ ፡ እምህየ ፡ አሐተ ፡ አሐተ ፡ እብነ ፡ ወጹሩ ፡ ውስተ ፡ መታክፍቲክሙ ፡ በከመ ፡ ኍለቊሆሙ ፡ ለዐሠርቱ ፡ ወክልኤቱ ፡ ነገደ ፡ እስራኤል ፤
Joshua said to them, “Cross 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;
4:6

that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’
4:7
וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֣ם לָהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר נִכְרְת֜וּ מֵימֵ֤י הַיַּרְדֵּן֙ מִפְּנֵי֙ אֲר֣וֹן בְּרִית־יְהֹוָ֔ה בְּעׇבְרוֹ֙ בַּיַּרְדֵּ֔ן נִכְרְת֖וּ מֵ֣י הַיַּרְדֵּ֑ן וְ֠הָי֠וּ הָאֲבָנִ֨ים הָאֵ֧לֶּה לְזִכָּר֛וֹן לִבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃

respondebitis eis : Defecerunt aquae Jordanis ante arcam foederis Domini, cum transiret eum : idcirco positi sunt lapides isti in monimentum filiorum Israël usque in aeternum.
ወንግሮ ፡ አንተ ፡ ለወልድከ ፡ ወበሎ ፡ እስመ ፡ ነጽፈ ፡ ዮርዳንስ ፡ ተከዚ ፡ እምቅድመ ፡ ታቦተ ፡ ሕጉ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ዘኵሉ ፡ ምድር ፡ እንዘ ፡ ተዐዱ ፡ ወይኩናክሙ ፡ እላንቱ ፡ እበን ፡ ተዝካረ ፡ ለክሙ ፡ ለደቂቀ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ እስከ ፡ ለዓለም ።
then you shall tell them, ‘Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant. When it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.’”
4:8
וַיַּעֲשׂוּ־כֵ֣ן בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֮ כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר צִוָּ֣ה יְהוֹשֻׁ֒עַ֒ וַיִּשְׂא֡וּ שְׁתֵּֽי־עֶשְׂרֵ֨ה אֲבָנִ֜ים מִתּ֣וֹךְ הַיַּרְדֵּ֗ן כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבֶּ֤ר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ לְמִסְפַּ֖ר שִׁבְטֵ֣י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּעֲבִר֤וּם עִמָּם֙ אֶל־הַמָּל֔וֹן וַיַּנִּח֖וּם שָֽׁם׃
καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καθότι ἐνετείλατο κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ καὶ λαβόντες δώδεκα λίθους ἐκ μέσου τοῦ Ιορδάνου καθάπερ συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τῆς διαβάσεως τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ διεκόμισαν ἅμα ἑαυτοῖς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ ἀπέθηκαν ἐκεῖ
Fecerunt ergo filii Israël sicut praecepit eis Josue, portantes de medio Jordanis alveo duodecim lapides, ut Dominus ei imperarat, juxta numerum filiorum Israël, usque ad locum in quo castrametati sunt, ibique posuerunt eos.

The 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. They carried them over with them to the place where they camped, and laid them down there.
4:9
וּשְׁתֵּ֧ים עֶשְׂרֵ֣ה אֲבָנִ֗ים הֵקִ֣ים יְהוֹשֻׁ֘עַ֮ בְּת֣וֹךְ הַיַּרְדֵּן֒ תַּ֗חַת מַצַּב֙ רַגְלֵ֣י הַכֹּהֲנִ֔ים נֹשְׂאֵ֖י אֲר֣וֹן הַבְּרִ֑ית וַיִּ֣הְיוּ שָׁ֔ם עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
ἔστησεν δὲ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἄλλους δώδεκα λίθους ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ Ιορδάνῃ ἐν τῷ γενομένῳ τόπῳ ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἱερέων τῶν αἰρόντων τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καί εἰσιν ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας
Alios quoque duodecim lapides posuit Josue in medio Jordanis alveo, ubi steterunt sacerdotes qui portabant arcam foederis : et sunt ibi usque in praesentem diem.
ወአቀመ ፡ ኢየሱስ ፡ ካልኣተ ፡ እበነ ፡ ዐሥሩ ፡ ወክልኤ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ዮርዳንስ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ መካን ፡ ኀበ ፡ ቆማ ፡ እገሪሆሙ ፡ ለካህናት ፡ እለ ፡ ይጸውሩ ፡ ታቦተ ፡ ሕግ ፡ ወሀለዋ ፡ ህየ ፡ እስከ ፡ ዮም ፡ ወእስከ ፡ ዛቲ ፡ ዕለት ።
Joshua 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.
4:10
וְהַכֹּהֲנִ֞ים נֹשְׂאֵ֣י הָֽאָר֗וֹן עֹמְדִים֮ בְּת֣וֹךְ הַיַּרְדֵּן֒ עַ֣ד תֹּ֣ם כׇּֽל־הַ֠דָּבָ֠ר אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֨ה יְהֹוָ֤ה אֶת־יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ לְדַבֵּ֣ר אֶל־הָעָ֔ם כְּכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֥ה מֹשֶׁ֖ה אֶת־יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ וַיְמַהֲר֥וּ הָעָ֖ם וַיַּעֲבֹֽרוּ׃
εἱστήκεισαν δὲ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης ἐν τῷ Ιορδάνῃ ἕως οὗ συνετέλεσεν Ἰησοῦς πάντα ἃ ἐνετείλατο κύριος ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἔσπευσεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ διέβησαν
Sacerdotes autem qui portabant arcam, stabant in Jordanis medio, donec omnia complerentur, quae Josue, ut loqueretur ad populum, praeceperat Dominus, et dixerat ei Moyses. Festinavitque populus, et transiit.
ወቆሙ ፡ እልክቱ ፡ ካህናት ፡ እለ ፡ ይጸውሩ ፡ ታቦተ ፡ ሕግ ፡ ማእከለ ፡ ዮርዳንስ ፡ እስከ ፡ ፈጸመ ፡ ኢየሱስ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ዘአዘዞ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ለኢየሱስ ፡ ከመ ፡ ይንግሮሙ ፡ ለሕዝብ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ በከመ ፡ አዘዞ ፡ ሙሴ ፡ ለኢየሱስ ፡ ወአፍጠኑ ፡ ዐዲወ ፡ ሕዝብ ።
For 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.
4:11
וַיְהִ֛י כַּֽאֲשֶׁר־תַּ֥ם כׇּל־הָעָ֖ם לַעֲב֑וֹר וַיַּעֲבֹ֧ר אֲרוֹן־יְהֹוָ֛ה וְהַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָעָֽם׃
καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβῆναι καὶ διέβη ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ οἱ λίθοι ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν
Cumque transissent omnes, transivit et arca Domini, sacerdotesque pergebant ante populum.
ወሶበ ፡ ተገምረ ፡ ዐዲወ ፡ ሕዝብ ፡ ዐደወት ፡ ታቦተ ፡ ሕግሂ ፡ ወእላክቱኒ ፡ እበን ፡ እለ ፡ እምቅድሜሆሙ ።
When all the people had completely crossed over, Yahweh’s ark crossed over with the priests in the presence of the people.
4:12
וַ֠יַּעַבְר֠וּ בְּנֵֽי־רְאוּבֵ֨ן וּבְנֵי־גָ֜ד וַחֲצִ֨י שֵׁ֤בֶט הַֽמְנַשֶּׁה֙ חֲמֻשִׁ֔ים לִפְנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר דִּבֶּ֥ר אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מֹשֶֽׁה׃
καὶ διέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ρουβην καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Γαδ καὶ οἱ ἡμίσεις φυλῆς Μανασση διεσκευασμένοι ἔμπροσθεν τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς
Filii quoque Ruben, et Gad, et dimidia tribus Manasse, armati praecedebant filios Israël, sicut eis praeceperat Moyses :
ወዐደው ፡ ደቂቀ ፡ ሮቤል ፡ ወደቂቀ ፡ ጋድ ፡ ወመንፈቀ ፡ ነገደ ፡ መናሴ ፡ ርሱያኒሆሙ ፡ ቅድመ ፡ ደቂቀ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ በከመ ፡ አዘዞሙ ፡ ሙሴ ።
The children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke to them.
4:13
כְּאַרְבָּעִ֥ים אֶ֖לֶף חֲלוּצֵ֣י הַצָּבָ֑א עָבְר֞וּ לִפְנֵ֤י יְהֹוָה֙ לַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה אֶ֖ל עַֽרְב֥וֹת יְרִיחֽוֹ׃ {ס}

et quadraginta pugnatorum millia per turmas, et cuneos, incedebant per plana atque campestria urbis Jericho.

About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war, passed over before Yahweh to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
4:14
בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא גִּדַּ֤ל יְהֹוָה֙ אֶת־יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ בְּעֵינֵ֖י כׇּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּֽרְא֣וּ אֹת֔וֹ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר יָֽרְא֥וּ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֖ה כׇּל־יְמֵ֥י חַיָּֽיו׃ {פ}
ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ηὔξησεν κύριος τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ γένους Ισραηλ καὶ ἐφοβοῦντο αὐτὸν ὥσπερ Μωυσῆν ὅσον χρόνον ἔζη
In die illo magnificavit Dominus Josue coram omni Israël, ut timerent eum, sicut timuerant Moysen, dum adviveret.
ወበይእቲ ፡ ዕለት ፡ አዕበዮ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ለኢየሱስ ፡ ቅድመ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ዘመደ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ ወፈርህዎ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሙሴ ፡ አምጣነ ፡ መዋዕለ ፡ ሕያው ፡ ውእቱ ።
On 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.
4:15
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהֹוָ֔ה אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ לֵאמֹֽר׃
καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγων
Dixitque ad eum :
ወይቤሎ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ለኢየሱስ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ይብል ፤
Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,
4:16
צַוֵּה֙ אֶת־הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים נֹשְׂאֵ֖י אֲר֣וֹן הָעֵד֑וּת וְיַעֲל֖וּ מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃

Praecipe sacerdotibus, qui portant arcam foederis, ut ascendant de Jordane.
አዝዞሙ ፡ ለካህናት ፡ እለ ፡ ይጸውሩ ፡ ታቦተ ፡ ሕጉ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ከመ ፡ ይፃኡ ፡ እምነ ፡ ዮርዳንስ ።
“Command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, that they come up out of the Jordan.”
4:17
וַיְצַ֣ו יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ אֶת־הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים לֵאמֹ֑ר עֲל֖וּ מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃
καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν λέγων ἔκβητε ἐκ τοῦ Ιορδάνου
Qui praecepit eis, dicens : Ascendite de Jordane.
[ወአዘዞሙ ፡ ኢየሱስ ፡ ለካህናት ፡ ወይቤሎሙ ፡ ፃኡ ፡ እምዮርዳንስ ።]
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, “Come up out of the Jordan!”
4:18

Cumque ascendissent portantes arcam foederis Domini, et siccam humum calcare coepissent, reversae sunt aquae in alveum suum, et fluebant sicut ante consueverant.
ወኮነ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ወፅኡ ፡ ካህናት ፡ እለ ፡ ይጸውሩ ፡ ታቦተ ፡ ሕጉ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ እምነ ፡ ማእከለ ፡ ዮርዳንስ ፡ ወኬዱ ፡ በእገሪሆሙ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ምድር ፡ ሮጸ ፡ ማየ ፡ ዮርዳንስ ፡ ወገብአ ፡ ውስተ ፡ መካናቲሁ ፡ ወሖረ ፡ ከመ ፡ ትካት ፡ ወበጽሐ ፡ እስከ ፡ ድንጋጊሁ ።
When the priests who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant had come up out of the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet had been lifted up to the dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before.
4:19

Populus autem ascendit de Jordane decimo die mensis primi, et castrametati sunt in Galgalis contra orientalem plagam urbis Jericho.

The 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.
4:20
וְאֵת֩ שְׁתֵּ֨ים עֶשְׂרֵ֤ה הָֽאֲבָנִים֙ הָאֵ֔לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָקְח֖וּ מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּ֑ן הֵקִ֥ים יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ בַּגִּלְגָּֽל׃
καὶ τοὺς δώδεκα λίθους τούτους οὓς ἔλαβεν ἐκ τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἔστησεν Ἰησοῦς ἐν Γαλγαλοις
Duodecim quoque lapides, quos de Jordanis alveo sumpserant, posuit Josue in Galgalis,
ወአቀሞን ፡ ኢየሱስ ፡ ለእልክቱ ፡ እበን ፡ ዐሥሩ ፡ ወክልኤ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ገልጋላ ።
Joshua set up those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, in Gilgal.
4:21

He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean?’
4:22

ἀναγγείλατε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν ὅτι ἐπὶ ξηρᾶς διέβη Ισραηλ τὸν Ιορδάνην
docebitis eos, atque dicetis : Per arentem alveum transivit Israël Jordanem istum,
ዜንውዎሙ ፡ ለደቂቅክሙ ፡ ወበልዎሙ ፡ እስመ ፡ እንተ ፡ የብስ ፡ ዐደውናሁ ፡ ለዝንቱ ፡ ዮርዳንስ ።
Then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
4:23
אֲשֶׁר־הוֹבִישׁ֩ יְהֹוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֜ם אֶת־מֵ֧י הַיַּרְדֵּ֛ן מִפְּנֵיכֶ֖ם עַֽד־עׇבְרְכֶ֑ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂה֩ יְהֹוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֧ם לְיַם־ס֛וּף אֲשֶׁר־הוֹבִ֥ישׁ מִפָּנֵ֖ינוּ עַד־עׇבְרֵֽנוּ׃
ἀποξηράναντος κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐκ τοῦ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν μέχρι οὗ διέβησαν καθάπερ ἐποίησεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν τὴν ἐρυθρὰν θάλασσαν ἣν ἀπεξήρανεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἔμπροσθεν ἡμῶν ἕως παρήλθομεν
siccante Domino Deo vestro aquas ejus in conspectu vestro, donec transiretis,
እስመ ፡ አይበሶ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ለማየ ፡ ዮርዳንስ ፡ ቅድሜነ ፡ እስከ ፡ ነዐዱ ፡ በከመ ፡ ገብራ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ለባሕረ ፡ [ኤ]ርትራ ፡ እንተ ፡ አይበሳ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ አምላክነ ፡ እምነ ፡ ቅድሜነ ፡ እስከ ፡ ኀለፍነ ፤
For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you until you had crossed over, as Yahweh your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had crossed over,
4:24
לְ֠מַ֠עַן דַּ֜עַת כׇּל־עַמֵּ֤י הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ אֶת־יַ֣ד יְהֹוָ֔ה כִּ֥י חֲזָקָ֖ה הִ֑יא לְמַ֧עַן יְרָאתֶ֛ם אֶת־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם כׇּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃ {פ}
ὅπως γνῶσιν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς ὅτι ἡ δύναμις τοῦ κυρίου ἰσχυρά ἐστιν καὶ ἵνα ὑμεῖς σέβησθε κύριον τὸν θεὸν ὑμῶν ἐν παντὶ χρόνῳ
sicut fecerat prius in mari Rubro, quod siccavit donec transiremus :
ከመ ፡ ያእምሩ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ አሕዛበ ፡ ምድር ፡ ከመ ፡ ጽኑዕ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ኀይሉ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ወከመ ፡ ትፍርህዎ ፡ አንትሙኒ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ አምላክነ ፡ በኵሉ ፡ ግብር ።
that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh’s hand is mighty, and that you may fear Yahweh your God forever.’”
4:25——
ut discant omnes terrarum populi fortissimam Domini manum, ut et vos timeatis Dominum Deum vestrum omni tempore.
—
that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh’s hand is mighty, and that you may fear Yahweh your God forever.’”
