< 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.
Hagi Sitimima mani'nazaretira Josua'ene maka Israeli vahe'mo'za nanterame oti'za Jodani tinte e'za, seli nonkuma eme ante'za mani'naze.
2 After three days the officers went through the camp
Anante tagufa zage kna evutegeno, kva vahe'mo'za kuma'ma ante'za mani'nafi vano nehu'za,
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.
amanage hu'za zmasami'naze, Tamagrama kesanageno'ma Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima Livae naga'pinti pristi vahe'mo'zama erisga hu'zama vanagetma, mani'naza kumara atretma otitma zamavariritma viho.
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.”
E'ina nehutma kama vanaza kana keso'e hiho. Na'ankure omenare kasefa kante neaze. Hianagi tamagra huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo tavaontera ovutma, 1kilomita naza kankamu amitama, afete eho.
5 Then Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”
Anante Josua'a Israeli vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra'a tamazeri agru hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a tamagri amu'nompi ruzahu kaguvaza okina erifore hugahie.
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.
Hagi Josua'a pristi vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eritma vahe'mokizmi zamavuga vugoteho, hige'za ke amage ante'za eri'za vahe zamavuga vugota hu'naze.
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.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra menina agafa hu'na Israeli vahe zamavufi kagi'a erisga hanuge'za, zamagrama ke'za antahi'zama hanazana, Mosese'enema mani'neaza huno Anumzamo'a kagri'enena mani'ne hu'za antahigahaze.
8 Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the waters, stand in the Jordan.’”
Hagi menina huhagerafi huvempage vogisima erisaza pristi vahera amanage hunka zamasamio, tamagrama Jodani timofo ankenare'ma vanutma, ti amu'nompi vutma ome oti fatgo hiho.
9 So Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God.”
Higeno Josua'a Israeli vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, amare erava'o huta Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma hiankea eme antahiho.
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.
Nehuno Josua'a amanage huno Israeli vahera zamasami'ne, ko'ma mani'naza Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Hivi vahe'ma, Peresi vahe'ma, Gilgasi vahe'ma, Amori vahe'ma, Jebusi vahe'ma zamahe panini hanigeta, kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzamo'a amu'nontifi mani'ne hutma keta antahita hugahaze.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go ahead of you into the Jordan.
Keho, maka mopama kegava hu'nea Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimo'ma, vugota huno Jodani tima takahe'nigeta,
12 Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.
menina Israeli vahe'mota mago'mago naga nofipintira mago vahe huhamprita zmavaretere hinke'za 12fu'a vahe eho.
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.”
Hagi Ra Anumzama maka mopama kegava hu'nea Anumzamofo Agri huhagerafi huvempage vogisima erisaza pristi vahe'mo'zama zamagama Jodani timpima ome resageno'a, tima ne'eazamo'a taneno kamanu kaziga magopi ante hihihuno marerigahie.
14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of them.
Anante pristi vahe'mo'za huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eri'za vugota nehazage'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za ana pristi vahe'mokizmi zmavariri'za Jodani tina takahenaku seli nozamia tagana vazi'za e'neri'za maka'za zamia retro hu'naze.
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,
Hagi maka kafufina ne'zama hamare knarera Jodani timo'a tusi ti hagetere nehiane. Hagi e'i ana knarekino timo'a amutu'amutu nehifi pristi vahe'mo'za huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eri'za Jodani timofo ankenare ehanati'za zamagia timpi eme razageno,
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.
kamaniti'ma e'nea timo'a taneno ogamanu afete Zaretani tavaonte me'nea rankuma Adamua, magopi ome ante hihi huno agonagna huno marerigeno, kami kazigama fri'nea hagerintegama evia timo'a tane vagarege'za hagage mopare vu'za kantu kaziga Jeriko tava'onte uhanati'naze.
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.
Hagi Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima zamafunte'ma kofi'naza pristi vahe'mo'za, timofo amu'nompima hagegema hu'nere oti hanaveti'nage'za, ana maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Jodani timo'ma hagagema hu'nea moparera evu vagare'za kantu kaziga vu'naze.
