Joshua 3
1 Early the next morning Joshua got up and left Shittim with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over.
KU ae la o Iosua i kakahiaka, a hele aku la, mai Sitima aku, a hiki aku la i Ioredane, oia, a me na mamo a pau a Iseraela, a malaila lakou i hoomoana'i mamua o ko lakou hele ana ae i kela kapa.
2 After three days the officers went through the camp
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka pau ana o na la ekolu, hele ae la na luna mawaena o ka poe kanaka;
3 and commanded the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God being carried by the Levitical priests, you are to set out from your positions and follow it.
Kauoha mai la ia lakou, i mai la, A ike oukou i ka pahuberita a Iehova a ko oukou Akua, a me ka poe kahuna na Levi e amo ana ia mea; alaila oukou e haalele ai i ko oukou wahi, a e hahai maumuli o ia mea.
4 But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between yourselves and the ark. Do not go near it, so that you can see the way to go, since you have never traveled this way before.”
I wahi kaawale hoi mawaena o ia mea a me oukou, i elua tausani kubita paha ka loihi. Mai hookokoke aku, i ike oukou i ke ala a oukou e hele ai; no ka mea, akahi no oukou a hele i keia ala.
5 Then Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”
Olelo mai la o Iosua i na kanaka, E huikala oukou ia oukou iho; no ka mea, apopo e hana mai no o Iehova i na mea kupanaha iwaena o oukou.
6 And he said to the priests, “Take the ark of the covenant and go on ahead of the people.” So they carried the ark of the covenant and went ahead of them.
Olelo mai la o Iosua i na kahuna, i mai la, E hapai i ka pahuberita, a e hele ae imua o na Kanaka. Hapai ae la lakou i ka pahuberita, hele aku la imua o na kanaka.
7 Now the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you just as I was with Moses.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, I keia la no, e hoomaka au i ka hookiekie ia oe imua o ka Iseraela a pau, i ike lakou i ko'u noho pu ana me oe, e like me a'u i noho pu ai me Mose.
8 Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the waters, stand in the Jordan.’”
E kauoha aku oe i na kahuna, i ka poe halihali i ka pahuberita, e i aku, A hiki oukou ma ka lihiwai o Ioredane, e ku malie oukou maloko o Ioredane.
9 So Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God.”
Olelo mai la o Iosua i na mamo a Iseraela, E neenee mai oukou, a e hoolohe i na olelo a Iehova a ko oukou Akua.
10 He continued, “This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that He will surely drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.
I mai la o Iosua, Eia ka mea e ike ai oukou i ka noho pu ana o ke Akua ola me oukou, a e oiaio no, e kipaku aku ia mamua o oukou i ka Kanaana, a me ka Heta, a me ka Heva, a me ka Pereza, a me ka Giregasa, a me ka Amora, a me ka Iebusa.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go ahead of you into the Jordan.
Aia hoi, ke hele ae nei ka pahuberita a ka Haku o ka honua a pau, mamua o oukou iloko o Ioredane.
12 Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.
E lawe hoi oukou, no oukou, i umi kanaka a me kumamalua, mailoko mai o na ohana a Iseraela, pakahi ke kanaka i ka ohana hookahi.
13 When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the LORD—the Lord of all the earth—touch down in the waters of the Jordan, its flowing waters will be cut off and will stand up in a heap.”
A hiki i ka wa e hoomaha ai maloko o ka wai o Ioredane na kapuwai o ka poe kahuna nana e lawe ka pahu o Iehova, ka Haku o ka honua a pau; alaila, e hookaawaleia na wai o Ioredane, o na wai e kahe ana mailuna mai, a e ku no iluna me he puu la.
14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of them.
Pela io no, i ka wa i hele aku ai na kanaka, mai ko lakou wahi aku i hoomoana'i, e hele i kela kapa o Ioredane, a hapai ka poe kahuna i ka pahuberita imua o na kanaka.
15 Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge,
A hiki ka poe i halihali i ka pahu i Ioredane, a komo na wawae o na kahuna, ka poe i halihali i ka pahu ma ka lihiwai, (no ka mea, i ka manawa e oo ai ka ai, ua halana o Ioredane maluna o kona kapa a pau, )
16 the flowing water stood still. It backed up as far upstream as Adam, a city in the area of Zarethan, while the water flowing toward the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea ) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
Alaila, ku malie no na wai i kahe maluna mai, a pii aku la, a lilo i puu loihi loa a hiki wale aku i ke kulanakauhale i Adama, e pili ana i Zaretana: a o ka wai i kahe ma ke kai o ka papu, oia hoi ka moanakai, moku iho la ia a maloo; a hele aku la na kanaka i kela kapa, ma ke alo o Ieriko.
17 The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel crossed over the dry ground, until the entire nation had crossed the Jordan.
Ku malie iho la na kahuna, ka poe lawe i ka pahuberita o Iehova, ma kahi maloo, mawaena o Ioredane, a hele ka Iseraela a pau ma ka aina maloo, a pau loa ia Iahuikanaka i ka hala i kela kapa o Ioredane.
