Joshua 3
1 And Joshua rises early in the morning, and they journey from Shittim, and come to the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodge there before they pass 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 comes to pass, at the end of three days, that the authorities pass over into the midst of the camp,
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ kẹta àwọn olórí la àárín ibùdó já.
3 and command the people, saying, “When you see the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and the priests, the Levites, carrying it, then you journey from your place, and have gone 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 only, a distance is between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; you do not come near to it, so that you know the way in which you go, for you have not passed over in the way before.”
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 says to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow YHWH does wonders in your midst.”
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 speaks to the priests, saying, “Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and pass over before the people”; and they take up the Ark of the Covenant, and go 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 YHWH says to Joshua, “This day I begin to make you great in the eyes of all Israel, so that they know that as I was with Moses I am with you;
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 you, command the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant, saying, When you come to the extremity of the waters of the Jordan, stand 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 says to the sons of Israel, “Come near here, and hear the words of your God YHWH”;
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 says, “By this you know that the living God [is] in your midst, and He certainly dispossesses 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 is passing over before you into the Jordan;
Àpótí májẹ̀mú Olúwa gbogbo ayé ń gòkè lọ sí Jordani ṣáájú u yín.
12 and now, take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man—one man for a tribe;
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ mú ọkùnrin méjìlá nínú àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli, ẹnìkan nínú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan.
13 and it has been, at the resting of the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the Ark of YHWH, Lord of all the earth, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan are cut off—the waters which are coming down from above—and they stand—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 comes to pass, in the journeying of the people from their tents to pass over the Jordan, and of the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant 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 at those carrying the Ark coming to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the Ark have been dipped in the extremity of the waters (and the Jordan is full over all its banks all the days 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 stand; those coming down from above have risen—one heap, very far above Adam, the city which [is] at the side of Zaretan; and those going down by the Sea of the Plain (the Salt Sea), have been completely cut off; and the people have passed through opposite 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 carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH stand on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan—established, and all Israel are passing over on dry ground until all the nation has completed to pass 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.
