< Joshua 3 >

1 Early the following morning Joshua and the Israelites set out from Shittim and arrived at the banks of the Jordan. There they all spent the night before crossing 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 Three days later those in charge of the people went through the camp
Kalpasan iti tallo nga aldaw, napan dagiti opisyal idiay tengnga ti kampo;
3 telling the people, “When you see the Ark of the Agreement of the Lord your God carried by the priests, the Levites, you must leave the place where you are 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 That way you'll know which way to go, since you haven't been here before. Leave about 3,000 feet between you and the Ark. Don't go near it!”
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 Then Joshua said to the people, “Make sure you are pure, because tomorrow the Lord is going to do amazing things 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, “Pick up the Ark of the Agreement and go before the people.” So they picked up the Ark of the Agreement and went ahead of 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, “What I do today will confirm you as great leader in the sight of all the Israelites, so that they'll realize that just 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 Tell the priests carrying the Ark of the Agreement, ‘When you get to the edge of the Jordan, take a few steps into the water and then stop.’”
Ibilinmonto kadagiti padi a mangawit iti lakasa ti tulag, “Inton makadanonkayo iti igid dagiti dandanum ti Jordan, agtalinaedkayo a sitatakter idiay Karayan Jordan.
9 So Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here and listen to what the Lord your God has to say to you.
Ket kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Umaykayo ditoy ket denggenyo dagiti sasao ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
10 This is how you will know that the living God is right here with you,” he told them. “You can be sure that he will drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.
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 Just watch—the Ark of the Agreement of the Lord of all the earth will cross in front of you through the Jordan.
Kitaenyo! Agballasiw iti Jordan nga umuna kadakayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Apo iti entero a daga.
12 Choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one per tribe.
Mangpilikayo ita iti sangapulo ket dua a lallaki manipud kadagiti tribu ti Israel, maysa manipud iti tunggal tribu.
13 The moment the priests carrying the Ark step into the water the river will stop flowing and the water will pile up.”
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 So the people broke camp and set out to cross the Jordan, with the priests carrying the Ark ahead of them.
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 As it was harvest season, the Jordan was full of water, overflowing its banks. But at the very moment the priests carrying the Ark stepped into the water, the river stopped flowing.
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 water piled up a long way upstream, at the town of Adam, near Zarethan, while downstream no more water flowed into the Dead Sea. So the people crossed over, opposite 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 carrying the Ark stood on the dried-up riverbed of the Jordan as all the people went by, staying there until everyone had crossed over on dry ground.
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.
