< Josue 3 >

1 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.
Joshua rose up early in the morning; and they moved from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel. They lodged there before they passed over.
2 Kalpasan iti tallo nga aldaw, napan dagiti opisyal idiay tengnga ti kampo;
It happened after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;
3 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.
and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of YHWH your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then you shall move from your place, and follow it.
4 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.”
However, keep a distance of about two thousand nine hundred fifty-three feet between yourselves and the ark. Do not come near to it, that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way before."
5 Kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao, “Idatonyo dagiti bagiyo kenni Yahweh inton bigat, ta agaramidto kadakayo ni Yahweh kadagiti nakaskasdaaaw.”
Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow YHWH will do wonders among you."
6 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.
Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people." They took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 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.
YHWH said to Joshua, "Today I will 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.
8 Ibilinmonto kadagiti padi a mangawit iti lakasa ti tulag, “Inton makadanonkayo iti igid dagiti dandanum ti Jordan, agtalinaedkayo a sitatakter idiay Karayan Jordan.
You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, 'When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.'"
9 Ket kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Umaykayo ditoy ket denggenyo dagiti sasao ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
Joshua said to the children of Israel, "Come here, and hear the words of YHWH your God."
10 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.
Joshua said, "Hereby you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, and the Hethite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.
11 Kitaenyo! Agballasiw iti Jordan nga umuna kadakayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Apo iti entero a daga.
Look, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over before you into the Jordan.
12 Mangpilikayo ita iti sangapulo ket dua a lallaki manipud kadagiti tribu ti Israel, maysa manipud iti tunggal tribu.
Now therefore take twelve men from the children of Israel, one man for each tribe.
13 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.”
It shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of YHWH, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap."
14 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.
It happened, when the people moved from their tents to pass over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being before the people,
15 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),
and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark had dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),
16 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.
that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off, at 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. Then the people passed over right against Jericho.
17 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.
The priests who bore the ark of the covenant of YHWH stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan.
