< 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.
И воста заутра Иисус, и воздвигошася из Саттина, и приидоша до Иордана той и вси сынове Израилевы, и сташа тамо прежде неже прейти.
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
И бысть по триех днех, проидоша книгочия чрез полк,
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.
и заповедаша людем, глаголюще: егда узрите кивот завета Господа Бога нашего, и жерцы нашя, и левиты воздвизающыя его, да воздвигнетеся и вы от мест ваших и пойдете вслед его:
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.
но подалее да будет между вами и оным, елико две тысящы лакот станете: не приближитеся к нему, да увесте путь, по немуже пойдете: не ходисте бо путем тем ни вчера, ни третияго дне.
5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: in order to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
И рече Иисус к людем: очиститеся наутрие, яко заутра сотворит в вас Господь чудная.
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.
И рече Иисус к жерцем: воздвигните кивот завета Господня и предидите пред людьми. И взяша жерцы кивот завета Господня и идоша пред людьми.
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.
И рече Господь ко Иисусу: в сей день начинаю возвышати тя пред всеми сынми Израилевыми, да уведят, якоже бех с Моисеом, тако буду и с тобою:
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.
и ныне заповеждь жерцем воздвизающым кивот завета, глаголя: егда внидете на часть воды Иордана, и во Иордане станете.
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
И рече Иисус сыном Израилевым: приступите семо, и слышите слово Господа Бога вашего:
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.
в сих увесте, яко Господь живяй в вас и потребляяй потребит от лица вашего Хананеа и Хеттеа, и Ферезеа и Евеа, и Гергесеа и Аморреа и Иевусеа:
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passes over before you into Jordan.
се, кивот завета Господа всея земли преходит Иордан:
12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
изберите себе дванадесять мужей от сынов Израилевых, единаго от коегождо племене,
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.
и будет егда почиют нози жерцев воздвизающих кивот завета Господа всея земли в воде Иордана, вода Иорданова оскудеет, вода же низтекущая станет.
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;
И бысть егда воздвигнушася людие от кущ своих прейти Иордан, жерцы же воздвигоша кивот завета Господня пред людьми:
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, )
егда же внидоша жерцы воздвижуще кивот завета Господня во Иордан, и нози жерцев воздвизающих кивот завета Господня омочишася в части воды Иордана, Иордан же наполняшеся во вся краи своя, якоже во дни жатвы пшеницы:
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.
и сташа воды текущыя свыше, ста огустение едино отлучившееся далече зело зело от Адами града даже до страны Кариафиарима: низтекущая же низтече в море Аравско, в море Сланое, дондеже до конца оскуде.
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.
И людие стояху прямо Иерихону. И сташа жерцы воздвизающии кивот завета Господня на сусе посреде Иордана: и вси сынове Израилевы прехождаху по суху, дондеже скончаша вси людие преходяще Иордан.
