< Joshua 3 >

1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
Gokinyi mangʼich Joshua kod jo-Israel duto nowuok koa Shitim, mi gidhi nyaka e aora Jordan, negibiro kanyo kapok giidho loka.
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
Bangʼ ndalo adek jotelo nowuotho e kuonde kambi duto,
3 And they commanded the people, saying, When all of you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then all of you shall remove from your place, and go after it.
ka gimiyogi chike niya, “Ka uneno ka Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, otingʼ gi jodolo, ma jo-Lawi, to nyaka uwuog oko e kuonde muchungʼie mondo uluwe.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that all of you may know the way by which all of you must go: for all of you have not passed this way in time past.
Bangʼe ubiro ngʼeyo yo mudhiyoe, nikech ne pok uluwo yorni nyaka nene. Makmana, beduru mochwalore gi sandugno, madirom fut alufu ariyo mia ochiko gi piero abich gadek; kendo kik usud machiegni kode.”
5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: in order to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
Joshua nokone oganda Israel niya, “Pwodhreuru, nikech kiny Jehova Nyasaye biro timo gigo miwuoro e kindu.”
6 And Joshua spoke unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Joshua nowachone jodolo niya, “Kawuru Sandug Muma mar singruok kendo utel kode e nyim ji.” Omiyo ne gikawe mi gidhi nyimgi.
7 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I 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.
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Kawuono abiro tingʼi malo e wangʼ jo-Israel duto, eka ginyalo ngʼeyo ni An kodi mana kaka ne an gi Musa.
8 And you shall command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When all of you are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, all of you shall stand still in Jordan.
Nyis jodolo matingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok ni, ‘Ka uchopo e geng pige mag aora Jordan, to dhiuru kendo uchungʼ ei aora.’”
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
Joshua nowachone jo-Israel niya, “Biuru kae kendo uchik itu ne weche Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
10 And Joshua said, Hereby all of you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
Kawuononi ubiro neno ranyisi ni Nyasaye mangima nikodu kendo enoriemb e nyimu jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Hivi, jo-Perizi, jo-Girgash, jo-Amor kod jo-Jebus.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passes over before you into Jordan.
Ne, Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto biro dhi nyimu nyaka aora Jordan.
12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
Koro omiyo, yier ji apar gariyo koa e dhout Israel, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot.
13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as 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 Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
E sa ma jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma en Ruoth Nyasaye mar piny duto, nonyon aora Jordan, pige-ge mamol koluwo aora tir nochungʼ kogingore ka pith.”
14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
Omiyo ka ji noke oa e kambi mag-gi mondo gingʼad aora Jordan, jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok notelo nyimgi.
15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overflows all his banks all the time of harvest, )
Aora Jordan koro notimo ataro kuonde duto nyaka ndalo mag keyo. Omiyo ka jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok nochopo e aora Jordan mi tiendegi omulo geng aora,
16 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
pige mane mol koa malo nochungʼ. Nogingore malo kaka pith, e dala miluongo ni Adam man but Zarethan. Pi mane mol kadhi e nam mar Araba (ma tiende ni Nam Chumbi) nochungʼ chuth, omiyo ji nongʼado modhi loka komachielo, momanyore gi Jeriko.
17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
Jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye nochungʼ motegno e lowo motwo e dier aora Jordan, nyaka ogendini mag jo-Israel notieko kadho ka giwuotho e lowo motwo.
