4:1

καὶ ἐπεὶ συνετέλεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβαίνων τὸν Ιορδάνην καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγων

And when all the people had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying:

全體百姓過完約旦河以後，主對約書亞說：

4:2

παραλαβὼν ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς

Take men from the people, one from each tribe,

你要從百姓中選取人，每支派一人，

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

and command them, saying: Take up from the midst of the Jordan twelve ready stones, and carry these along with you and set them down in your encampment, wherever you encamp there for the night.

吩咐他們說：你們要從約旦河中取十二塊預備好的石頭，把這些石頭一同帶過去，放在你們夜間安營的營地裡。

4:4

καὶ ἀνακαλεσάμενος Ἰησοῦς δώδεκα ἄνδρας τῶν ἐνδόξων ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς

And Joshua called together twelve men of the honored ones from the sons of Israel, one from each tribe,

約書亞就從以色列人中召了十二個尊貴的人來，每支派一人，

4:5

εἶπεν αὐτοῖς προσαγάγετε ἔμπροσθέν μου πρὸ προσώπου κυρίου εἰς μέσον τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ ἀνελόμενος ἐκεῖθεν ἕκαστος λίθον ἀράτω ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν δώδεκα φυλῶν τοῦ Ισραηλ

and said to them: Come forward before me, before the face of the Lord, into the midst of the Jordan, and let each one take up a stone from there and lift it upon his shoulders, according to the number of the twelve tribes of Israel,

對他們說：你們到我這裡來，在主面前進到約旦河中，各人照著以色列十二支派的數目，從那裡取一塊石頭扛在肩上，

4:6

ἵνα ὑπάρχωσιν ὑμῖν οὗτοι εἰς σημεῖον κείμενον διὰ παντός ἵνα ὅταν ἐρωτᾷ σε ὁ υἱός σου αὔριον λέγων τί εἰσιν οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ὑμῖν

that these may serve you as a sign set permanently, so that when your son asks you tomorrow, saying: What are these stones to you?

好叫這些石頭在你們中間永遠立作記號。日後你們的兒子問你說：這些石頭對你們有甚麼意思？

4:7

καὶ σὺ δηλώσεις τῷ υἱῷ σου λέγων ὅτι ἐξέλιπεν ὁ Ιορδάνης ποταμὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης κυρίου πάσης τῆς γῆς ὡς διέβαινεν αὐτόν καὶ ἔσονται οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ὑμῖν μνημόσυνον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος

then you shall declare to your son, saying: Because the river Jordan failed before the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth when it crossed it. And these stones shall be for you a memorial to the sons of Israel forever.

你就要向你的兒子說明，告訴他說：因為全地之主約櫃過約旦河的時候，約旦河的水就斷絕了。這些石頭要作以色列人永遠的紀念。

4:8

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

And the sons of Israel did so, just as the Lord commanded Joshua; and taking twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, just as the Lord had directed Joshua, at the completion of the crossing of the sons of Israel, they carried them along with themselves into the camp and laid them down there.

以色列人就照主吩咐約書亞的行了。他們照主所吩咐約書亞的，在以色列人過河完畢的時候，從約旦河中取了十二塊石頭，一同帶到營中，放在那裡。

4:9

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

And Joshua also set up another twelve stones in the Jordan itself, in the place that came to be under the feet of the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and they are there to this day.

約書亞另把十二塊石頭立在約旦河中，就在抬主約櫃的祭司腳所站立的地方；那些石頭直到今日還在那裡。
