< Joshua 3 >

1 Joshua got up early in the morning; and they moved from Shittim and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel. They camped there before they crossed over.
Nasapa iti bigat a bimmangon ni Josue, ket nagrubwatda manipud idiay Settim. Dimmanonda idiay Jordan, isuna ken amin a tattao ti Israel, ket nagkampoda sadiay sakbay a bimmallasiwda.
2 After three days, the officers went through the middle of the camp;
Kalpasan iti tallo nga aldaw, napan dagiti opisyal idiay tengnga ti kampo;
3 and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the LORD your God’s covenant, and the Levitical priests bearing it, then leave your place and follow it.
imbilinda kadagiti tattao, “Inton makitayo ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ken aw-awiten daytoy dagiti padi a naggapu kadagiti Levita, masapul a pumanawkayo iti daytoy a lugar ket surotenyo ti lakasa ti tulag.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it of about two thousand cubits by measure—do not come closer to it—that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way before.”
Masapul a dua ribu a kasiko ti nagbaetanyo iti daytoy. Saankayo nga umas-asideg iti daytoy tapno makitayo ti dalan a papanan, gapu ta saankayo pay idi a nagna iti daytoy a dalan.”
5 Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”
Kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao, “Idatonyo dagiti bagiyo kenni Yahweh inton bigat, ta agaramidto kadakayo ni Yahweh kadagiti nakaskasdaaaw.”
6 Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and cross over before the people.” They took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Ket kinuna ni Josue kadagiti papadi, “Awitenyo ti lakasa ti tulag ket ilabasyo iti sangoanan dagiti tattao.” Inawitda ngarud ti lakasa ti tulag ket napanda iti sangoanan dagiti tattao.
7 The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Josue, “Ita nga aldaw, aramidenka a naindaklan a tao kadagiti mata iti amin nga Israel. Maammoandanto nga addaak kenka a kas kaaddak idi kenni Moises.
8 You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’”
Ibilinmonto kadagiti padi a mangawit iti lakasa ti tulag, “Inton makadanonkayo iti igid dagiti dandanum ti Jordan, agtalinaedkayo a sitatakter idiay Karayan Jordan.
9 Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God.”
Ket kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Umaykayo ditoy ket denggenyo dagiti sasao ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
10 Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.
Maammoanyo babaen iti daytoy a ti sibibiag a Dios ket adda kadakayo ket papanawennanto iti imatangyo dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Heteo, dagiti Heveo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Gergeseo, dagiti Amorreo, ken dagiti Jebuseo.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over before you into the Jordan.
Kitaenyo! Agballasiw iti Jordan nga umuna kadakayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Apo iti entero a daga.
12 Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
Mangpilikayo ita iti sangapulo ket dua a lallaki manipud kadagiti tribu ti Israel, maysa manipud iti tunggal tribu.
13 It shall be that when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of GOD, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off. The waters that come down from above shall stand in one heap.”
Inton masagid dagiti dapan dagiti padi a mangaw-awit iti lakasa ni Yahweh nga Apo iti entero a daga dagiti danum ti Jordan, maisinanto dagiti danum daytoy, ken uray dagiti danum dagiti akin-surong a waig ket agsardeng nga agayus ket agtakderto dagitoy a kasla sanga-gabsoon.”
14 When the people moved from their tents to pass over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being before the people,
Ngarud, idi nagrubwat dagiti tattao a mangballasiw iti Karayan Jordan, napan dagiti padi a nangawit iti lakasa ti tulag nga immun-una ngem kadagiti tattao.
15 and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark had dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),
Apaman a makadanon iti Jordan dagidiay mangaw-awit iti lakasa, ken maitabsaw iti rabaw ti danum dagiti saka dagiti nangawit iti lakasa, (agluplupyas ti danum ti Karayan Jordan kadagiti ig-igid daytoy iti amin a tiempo ti panagaapit),
16 the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.
nagtakder a kasla sanga-gabsoon dagiti danum a nagayus manipud kadagiti akin-surong a waig. Nagsardeng nga agayus ti danum manipud iti adayo. Nagsardeng nga agayus dagiti danum manipud idiay Adam, ti siudad nga abay ti Sartam, agingga idiay baybay ti Negeb, ti Baybay ti Asin. Ket nagballasiw dagiti tattao iti asideg ti Jerico.
17 The priests who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan.
Nagtakder dagiti padi a nangawit iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh iti rabaw ti namaga a daga iti tengnga ti Jordan agingga a nakaballasiw dagiti amin a tattao iti rabaw ti namaga a daga.
