Joshua 3
1 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.
Ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀, Joṣua àti gbogbo àwọn Israẹli sí kúrò ní Ṣittimu, wọ́n sì lọ sí etí odò Jordani, wọ́n sì pa ibùdó síbẹ̀ kí wọn tó kọjá.
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ kẹta àwọn olórí la àárín ibùdó já.
3 and they commanded the people, saying: 'When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
Wọ́n sì pàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Nígbà tí ẹ bá rí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi rù ú, nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò sí kúrò ní ipò yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa tẹ̀lé e.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.'
Ẹyin yóò lè mọ ọ̀nà tí ẹ ó gbà, torí pé ẹ̀yin kò gba ọ̀nà yìí tẹ́lẹ̀ rí. Ṣùgbọ́n àlàfo gbọdọ̀ wà ní àárín yín àti àpótí náà, tó bí ìwọ̀n ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ìgbọ̀nwọ́.”
5 And Joshua said unto the people: 'Sanctify yourselves; for to-morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.'
Joṣua sì sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́, nítorí ní ọ̀la, Olúwa yóò ṣe ohun ìyanu ní àárín yín.”
6 And Joshua spoke unto the priests, saying: 'Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people.' And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Joṣua sọ fún àwọn àlùfáà pé, “Ẹ̀yin, ẹ gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí náà kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì máa lọ ṣáájú àwọn ènìyàn.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé e sókè, wọ́n sì ń lọ ní iwájú u wọn.
7 And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
Olúwa sì sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Òní yìí ni Èmi yóò bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í gbé ọ ga ní ojú u gbogbo àwọn ará Israẹli, kí wọn lè mọ̀ pé Èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ṣe wà pẹ̀lú Mose.
8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying: When ye are come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan.'
Sọ fún àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí náà, ‘Nígbà tí ẹ bá dé etí omi Jordani, ẹ lọ kí ẹ sì dúró nínú odò náà.’”
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel: 'Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.'
Joṣua sì sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, “Ẹ súnmọ́ ibí kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì fetí sí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
10 And Joshua said: 'Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
Èyí ni ẹ̀yin yóò fi mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run alààyè wà ní àárín yín àti pé dájúdájú yóò lé àwọn ará Kenaani, àwọn ará Hiti, Hifi, Peresi, Girgaṣi, Amori àti Jebusi jáde níwájú u yín.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth on before you over the Jordan.
Àpótí májẹ̀mú Olúwa gbogbo ayé ń gòkè lọ sí Jordani ṣáájú u yín.
12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ mú ọkùnrin méjìlá nínú àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli, ẹnìkan nínú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan.
13 And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap.'
Bí àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí Olúwa, Olúwa gbogbo ayé bá ti ẹsẹ̀ bọ odò Jordani, omi tí ń ti òkè sàn wá yóò gé kúrò yóò sì gbá jọ bí òkìtì kan.”
14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, the priests that bore the ark of the covenant being before the people;
Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn gbéra láti ibùdó láti kọjá nínú odò Jordani, àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí náà ń lọ níwájú wọn.
15 and when they that bore the ark were come unto the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brink of the water — for the Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest —
Odò Jordani sì máa ń wà ní kíkún ní gbogbo ìgbà ìkórè. Ṣùgbọ́n bí àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí ti dé odò Jordani tí ẹsẹ̀ wọn sì kan etí omi,
16 that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off from 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; and the people passed over right against Jericho.
omi tí ń ti òkè sàn wá dúró. Ó sì gbá jọ bí òkìtì ní òkèèrè, ní ìlú tí a ń pè ní Adamu, tí ó wà ní tòsí Saretani; nígbà tí omi tí ń sàn lọ sínú Òkun aginjù (ti o túmọ̀ sí Òkun Iyọ̀) gé kúrò pátápátá. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn kọjá sí òdìkejì ní ìdojúkọ Jeriko.
17 And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, while all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over the Jordan.
Àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa sì dúró ṣinṣin lórí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ ní àárín Jordani, nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ń kọjá títí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè náà fi rékọjá nínú odò Jordani lórí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
