Joshua 3
1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
Joshua teh amom a thaw teh Isarel miphun abuemlah hoiyah Shittim khopui hoi a kampuen awh teh, Jordan tui a raka awh hoehnahlan palang teng rim a sak awh.
2 And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers went through the camp;
Hnin thum touh a pha toteh, ransabawinaw ni ransahu onae tangkuem koe a cei awh.
3 and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then remove from your place, and go after it;
Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut e lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e vaihma bawi Levih miphunnaw ni a kâkayawt lahun e na hmu torei teh, nangmanaw ni hai hmuen na kampuen awh vaiteh, na kâbang awh han.
4 yet there shall be a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Ye shall not come near it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
Thingkong hoi nangmae a rahak vah, dong thong hni touh na kâhla awh han. Na kâbang hane lamthung na panue thai awh nahane thingkong rek na hnai awh mahoeh. Hete lam teh nangmouh ni vai touh hai na cet awh hoeh rah telah tami pueng hah lawk a thui.
5 And Joshua said to the people, Hallow yourselves; for to-morrow Jehovah will do wonders in your midst.
Joshua ni nangmanaw pueng namahoima kâthoung sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tangtho e hnin teh, BAWIPA Cathut ni kângairu e hnonaw nangmouh koe a sak han toe telah taminaw lawk a thui.
6 And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and go over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Hahoi vaihmanaw kaw nateh, nangmanaw ni lawkkam thingkong hrawm na laihoi taminaw e hmalah rakat awh leih. Joshua ni a dei e patetlah ahnimanaw teh lawkkam thingkong a kâkayawt awh teh, taminaw hmalah a cei awh.
7 And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
BAWIPA Cathut ni Joshua a kaw teh, kai ni Mosi ka okhai e patetlah nang koe ka o e hah Isarelnaw abuemlah ni a panue awh nahanelah, ahnimae hmaitung vah sahnin kai ni na kamsawng sak han.
8 And thou shalt command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, stand still in the Jordan.
Lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e vaihma bawinaw Jordan palang teng a pha awh torei teh, Jordan tui dawk a kangdue awh han telah patuen na dei pouh awh han atipouh.
9 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of Jehovah your God.
Joshua ni tho awh leih, nangmae BAWIPA Cathut e lawk teh ngâi awh hottelah Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah a kaw awh.
10 And Joshua said, Hereby shall ye know that the living God is in your midst, and [that] he will without fail dispossess from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
BAWIPA Cathut teh nangmouh koe ao, nangmae hmalah, Kanaannaw, Periznaw, Amornaw, Jebusitnaw, Hitnaw, Girgashitenaw hah a pâlei han tie hah panuek awh.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is going over before you into the Jordan.
Talaivan abuemlah ka uk e BAWIPA Cathut e lawkkam thingkong teh nangmae hmalah Jordan tuipui dawk a rakakhai awh toe.
12 And now take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe.
Hatdawkvah Isarel miphunnaw thung hoi miphun tangkuem e tami buetbuet touh abuemlah tami hlaikahni touh rawi awh.
13 And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, the waters flowing down from above, shall be cut off, and shall stand up in a heap.
Talai van abuemlah ka uk e Bawipa Jehovah e thingkong hah ka hrawm e vaihma bawinaw ni khoksampha hoi Jordan tuipui a coungroe tahma vah atunglae tui a kâhat vaiteh, a kamuem han.
14 And it came to pass when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, that the priests bearing the ark of the covenant were before the people;
Taminaw teh Jordan tuipui raka awh hanelah rimnaw dawk hoi a kampuen vaiteh, lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e vaihma bawinaw ni taminaw e hmalah a cei awh han.
15 and when they that bore the ark were come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (and the Jordan is full over all its banks throughout the days of harvest),
Jordan tuipui koe a pha awh hoi ka poum e tui hah khoksampha hoi a coungroe awh toteh, canganae a tue navah hote tuipui teh, palang rai dawk ouk a poum eiteh,
16 the waters which flowed down from above stood [and] rose up in a heap, very far, by Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan; and those that flowed down towards the sea of the plain, the salt sea, were completely cut off. And the people went over opposite to Jericho.
atunglah hoi ka lawng e tui a kâhat teh ahlanae koe e Zarethan khopui teng kaawm e Adam khopui totouh a kamuem. Arabah tuipui palang koe ka lawng e tui hai a kâhat teh, taminaw pueng ni Jeriko khopui koelah a raka awh.
17 And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan. And all Israel went over on dry ground, until all the nation had completely gone over the Jordan.
Tami moikapap teh Jordan namran a pha hoeh roukrak BAWIPA Cathut e lawkkam thingkong ka hrawm e vaihma bawinaw ni tuipui lungui talai dawk kacaklah a kangdue awh teh, Isarel miphunnaw abuemlah ni talai dawk a cei awh.
