Joshua 3
1 And so, Joshua arose in the night, and he moved the camp. And they departed from Shittim, and they went to the Jordan: he, and all the sons of Israel, and they remained there for three days.
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 these things unfolded, announcers passed through the midst of 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 they began to proclaim: “When you will see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests of the stock of Levi carrying it, you also shall rise up and follow those who are going before you.
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 And let there be, between you and the ark, the space of two thousand cubits, so that you may be able to see it from far away, and to know along which way you should advance. For you have not walked this way before. And be careful that you do not approach the ark.”
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 And Joshua said to the people: “Be sanctified. For tomorrow the Lord will accomplish miracles 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 up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people.” And they fulfilled the orders, and they took it and walked before 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 And the Lord said to Joshua: “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they may know that, just as I was with Moses, so also am I with you.
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 Now instruct the priests, who are carrying the ark of the covenant, and say to them, ‘When you will have entered into a part of the water of the Jordan, stand still in it.’”
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 And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, “Approach to here, and listen to the word 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 And again, he said: “By this shall you know that the Lord, the living God, is in your midst, and that he shall scatter in your sight, the Canaanite and the Hittite, the Hivite and the Perizzite, likewise the Girgashite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite.
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 shall go before you through 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 Prepare 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 And when the priests who are carrying the ark of the Lord, the God of the entire earth, will have placed the steps of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are lower will run down and pass away, and those that are approaching above will stand together in a mass.”
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 And the people departed from their tents, so that they might cross the Jordan. And the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant were advancing before 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 And as soon as they entered into the Jordan, and their feet were dipped in a portion of the water, (now the Jordan, since it was the time of the harvest, had filled the banks of its channel, )
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 descending waters stood still in one place, and, swelling up like a mountain, they were seen from far away, from the city that is called Adam, even as far as the place of Zarethan. But those that were lower ran down into the Sea of the Wilderness, (which is now called the Dead Sea, ) until they entirely passed away.
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 Then the people advanced opposite Jericho. And the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord were standing, fully-dressed, upon dry soil in the midst of the Jordan, and all the people passed over, through the channel that was dried up.
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.
