< Yashuuca 3 >

1 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu kacay aroor hore, oo Shitiim way ka guureen, oo Webi Urdun yimaadeen, isagii iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo halkaasay degeen intaanay gudbin ka hor.
Joshua got up early in the morning; and they moved from Shittim and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel. They camped there before they crossed over.
2 Oo saddex maalmood dabadeed saraakiishii xeraday dhex mareen,
After three days, the officers went through the middle of the camp;
3 oo waxay dadkii ku amreen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Markaad aragtaan sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, iyo wadaaddada reer Laawi oo isaga sida waa inaad meeshiinna ka guurtaan, oo daba gashaan isaga.
and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of Yahweh your God’s covenant, and the Levitical priests bearing it, then leave your place and follow it.
4 Oo weliba waa in meel bannaan oo qiyaasteedu dhan tahay laba kun oo dhudhun idiin dhexaysaa idinka iyo sanduuqa. Ha u soo dhowaanina isaga, si aad u ogaataan jidkii aad mari lahaydeen; waayo, idinku hadda ka hor ma aydaan marin jidkan.
Yet there shall be a space between you and it of about two thousand cubits by measure—don’t come closer to it—that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way before.”
5 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Quduus iska dhiga, waayo, berri Rabbigu wuxuu dhexdiinna ku samayn doonaa waxyaalo yaab leh.
Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow Yahweh will do wonders among you.”
6 Oo Yashuuca wadaaddadii buu la hadlay, oo ku yidhi, Sanduuqa axdiga qaada, oo dadka ka hor gudba. Kolkaasay waxay qaadeen sanduuqii axdiga, oo dadkiina way ka hor mareen.
Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and cross over before the people.” They took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 Markaasaa Rabbigu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Maantaan bilaabayaa inaan kugu weyneeyo reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, inay ogaadaan in sidii aan Muuse ula jiray, aan adigana kuula jiri doono.
Yahweh 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 Oo waa inaad amartaa wadaaddada sanduuqa axdiga sida, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markii aad gaadhaan biyaha Webi Urdun qarkooda waa inaad Webi Urdun isdhex taagtaan.
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 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Kaalaya halkan, oo maqla erayada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of Yahweh your God.”
10 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu yidhi, Sidan baad ku ogaan doontaan in Ilaaha nool idin dhex joogo, iyo inuu shakila'aan hortiinna ka eryi doono reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Girgaash, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Yebuus.
Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.
11 Bal eega, Rabbiga dhulka oo dhan sanduuqiisii axdiga ayaa idin hor maraya xagga Webi Urdun dhexdiisa.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over before you into the Jordan.
12 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed laba iyo toban nin ka soo bixiya qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil, qabiil walba nin.
Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
13 Oo markii wadaaddada sida sanduuqa Rabbiga ah Rabbiga dhulka oo dhan ay calaacalaha cagahoodu taabtaan biyaha Webi Urdun, ayaa biyaha Webi Urdun kala go'i doonaan, kuwaasoo ah biyaha kor ka imanaya, oo markaasay meel istaagi doonaan iyagoo tuulan.
It shall be that when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off. The waters that come down from above shall stand in one heap.”
14 Oo markii dadku ka tegey teendhooyinkooda si ay Webi Urdun uga gudbaan aawadeed, iyadoo ay ka horreeyaan wadaaddada sida sanduuqii axdiga,
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 oo markii kuwa sanduuqa sida ay soo gaadheen Webi Urdun, oo wadaaddada sida sanduuqa ay cagahoodu galeen biyaha qarkooda, (waayo, xilliga waxgoosashada oo dhan Webi Urdun qararkiisa oo dhan buu buuxdhaafaa)
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 ayay biyaha kor ka imanayay istaageen, iyagoo tuulan, oo meel aad u fog bay istaageen oo u dhow magaalada la yidhaahdo Aadaam oo ku ag taal Saaretaan. Kuwii hoos u kacay xagga badda Caraabaah, taasoo ah Badda Cusbada leh, iyana kulligood waa go'een; oo dadkii wuxuu u gudbay meel ku toosan Yerixoo.
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 near Jericho.
17 Oo wadaaddadii siday sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga waxay istaageen dhul engegan oo Webi Urdun dhexdiisa ah, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku gudbeen dhul engegan, ilaa ay quruuntii oo dhammu ka wada gudubtay Webi Urdun.
The priests who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan.
