LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και επει συνετελεσεν πας ο λαος διαβαινων τον ιορδανην και ειπεν κυριος τω ιησοι λεγων	1 And when they had crossed over, the Lord said to Joshua:
2 παραλαβων ανδρας απο του λαου ενα αφ' εκαστης φυλης	2 “Choose twelve men, one from each tribe,
3 συνταξον αυτοις λεγων ανελεσθε εκ μεσου του ιορδανου ετοιμους δωδεκα λιθους και τουτους διακομισαντες αμα υμιν αυτοις θετε αυτους εν τη στρατοπεδεια υμων ου εαν παρεμβαλητε εκει την νυκτα	3 and instruct them so that they may take from the midst of the channel of the Jordan, where the feet of the priests stood still, twelve very hard stones, which you shall station in the place of the camp, where you will pitch your tents this night.”
4 και ανακαλεσαμενος ιησους δωδεκα ανδρας των ενδοξων απο των υιων ισραηλ ενα αφ' εκαστης φυλης	4 And Joshua called twelve men, whom he had chosen from the sons of Israel, one from each tribe,
5 ειπεν αυτοις προσαγαγετε εμπροσθεν μου προ προσωπου κυριου εις μεσον του ιορδανου και ανελομενος εκειθεν εκαστος λιθον αρατω επι των ωμων αυτου κατα τον αριθμον των δωδεκα φυλων του ισραηλ	5 and he said to them: “Go before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan, and let each one carry from there one stone on your shoulders, according to the number of the sons of Israel,
6 ινα υπαρχωσιν υμιν ουτοι εις σημειον κειμενον δια παντος ινα οταν ερωτα σε ο υιος σου αυριον λεγων τι εισιν οι λιθοι ουτοι υμιν	6 so that it may be a sign among you. And when your sons will ask you, tomorrow, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
7 και συ δηλωσεις τω υιω σου λεγων οτι εξελιπεν ο ιορδανης ποταμος απο προσωπου κιβωτου διαθηκης κυριου πασης της γης ως διεβαινεν αυτον και εσονται οι λιθοι ουτοι υμιν μνημοσυνον τοις υιοις ισραηλ εως του αιωνος	7 you shall respond to them: ‘The waters of the Jordan failed before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, when the ark crossed over it. For this reason, these stones were placed as a monument for the sons of Israel, even forever.’ ”
8 και εποιησαν ουτως οι υιοι ισραηλ καθοτι ενετειλατο κυριος τω ιησοι και λαβοντες δωδεκα λιθους εκ μεσου του ιορδανου καθαπερ συνεταξεν κυριος τω ιησοι εν τη συντελεια της διαβασεως των υιων ισραηλ και διεκομισαν αμα εαυτοις εις την παρεμβολην και απεθηκαν εκει	8 Therefore, the sons of Israel did as Joshua instructed them, carrying twelve stones from the midst of the channel of the Jordan, just as the Lord had ordered him, according to the number of the sons of Israel, as far as the place where they made camp, and there they stationed them.
9 εστησεν δε ιησους και αλλους δωδεκα λιθους εν αυτω τω ιορδανη εν τω γενομενω τοπω υπο τους ποδας των ιερεων των αιροντων την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου και εισιν εκει εως της σημερον ημερας	9 Similarly, Joshua positioned another twelve stones in the middle of the channel of the Jordan, where the priests stood who were carrying the ark of the covenant; and they are there, even to the present day.
10 ειστηκεισαν δε οι ιερεις οι αιροντες την κιβωτον της διαθηκης εν τω ιορδανη εως ου συνετελεσεν ιησους παντα α ενετειλατο κυριος αναγγειλαι τω λαω και εσπευσεν ο λαος και διεβησαν	10 Now the priests who were carrying the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was accomplished which the Lord had instructed Joshua to speak to the people and which Moses had said to him. And the people hurried, and they passed over.
11 και εγενετο ως συνετελεσεν πας ο λαος διαβηναι και διεβη η κιβωτος της διαθηκης κυριου και οι λιθοι εμπροσθεν αυτων	11 And when they had all crossed, the ark of the Lord also crossed, and the priests advanced before the people.
12 και διεβησαν οι υιοι ρουβην και οι υιοι γαδ και οι ημισεις φυλης μανασση διεσκευασμενοι εμπροσθεν των υιων ισραηλ καθαπερ ενετειλατο αυτοις μωυσης	12 Likewise, the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh advanced with weapons before the sons of Israel, just as Moses had instructed them.
13 τετρακισμυριοι ευζωνοι εις μαχην διεβησαν εναντιον κυριου εις πολεμον προς την ιεριχω πολιν	13 And forty thousand fighters, by companies and divisions, advanced through the plains and fields of the city of Jericho.
14 εν εκεινη τη ημερα ηυξησεν κυριος τον ιησουν εναντιον παντος του γενους ισραηλ και εφοβουντο αυτον ωσπερ μωυσην οσον χρονον εζη	14 In that day, the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel, so that they would fear him, just as they had feared Moses while he lived.
15 και ειπεν κυριος τω ιησοι λεγων	15 And he said to him,
16 εντειλαι τοις ιερευσιν τοις αιρουσιν την κιβωτον της διαθηκης του μαρτυριου κυριου εκβηναι εκ του ιορδανου	16 “Command the priests who are carrying the ark of the covenant to ascend from the Jordan.”
17 και ενετειλατο ιησους τοις ιερευσιν λεγων εκβητε εκ του ιορδανου	17 And he commanded them, saying, “Ascend from the Jordan.”
18 και εγενετο ως εξεβησαν οι ιερεις οι αιροντες την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου εκ του ιορδανου και εθηκαν τους ποδας επι της γης ωρμησεν το υδωρ του ιορδανου κατα χωραν και επορευετο καθα εχθες και τριτην ημεραν δι' ολης της κρηπιδος	18 And when those who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord had ascended, and they began to step on dry soil, the waters returned to their channel, and they flowed as they usually did before.
19 και ο λαος ανεβη εκ του ιορδανου δεκατη του μηνος του πρωτου και κατεστρατοπεδευσαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εν γαλγαλοις κατα μερος το προς ηλιου ανατολας απο της ιεριχω	19 Now the people ascended from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they encamped at Gilgal, opposite the eastern portion of the city of Jericho.
20 και τους δωδεκα λιθους τουτους ους ελαβεν εκ του ιορδανου εστησεν ιησους εν γαλγαλοις	20 Likewise, the twelve stones that they had taken up from the channel of the Jordan, Joshua stationed at Gilgal.
21 λεγων οταν ερωτωσιν υμας οι υιοι υμων λεγοντες τι εισιν οι λιθοι ουτοι	21 And he said to the sons of Israel: “When your sons will question their fathers, tomorrow, and they will say to them, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
22 αναγγειλατε τοις υιοις υμων οτι επι ξηρας διεβη ισραηλ τον ιορδανην	22 you shall teach them, and you shall say: ‘Israel passed over this Jordan, through the dry channel.’
23 αποξηραναντος κυριου του θεου ημων το υδωρ του ιορδανου εκ του εμπροσθεν αυτων μεχρι ου διεβησαν καθαπερ εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος ημων την ερυθραν θαλασσαν ην απεξηρανεν κυριος ο θεος ημων εμπροσθεν ημων εως παρηλθομεν	23 For the Lord your God dried up its waters in your sight, until you crossed over,
24 οπως γνωσιν παντα τα εθνη της γης οτι η δυναμις του κυριου ισχυρα εστιν και ινα υμεις σεβησθε κυριον τον θεον υμων εν παντι χρονω	24 just as he had done before, at the Red Sea, which he dried up until we crossed over.
	25 So may all the peoples of the earth learn of the very powerful hand of the Lord. So may you also fear the Lord your God for all time.”
