< Joshua 3 >

1 And Josue rose before daylight, and removed the camp: and they departed from Setim, and came to the Jordan, he, and all the children of Israel, and they abode there for three days.
Gokinyi mangʼich Joshua kod jo-Israel duto nowuok koa Shitim, mi gidhi nyaka e aora Jordan, negibiro kanyo kapok giidho loka.
2 After which, the heralds went through the midst of the camp,
Bangʼ ndalo adek jotelo nowuotho e kuonde kambi duto,
3 And began to proclaim: When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests of the race of Levi carrying it, rise you up also, and follow them as they go before:
ka gimiyogi chike niya, “Ka uneno ka Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, otingʼ gi jodolo, ma jo-Lawi, to nyaka uwuog oko e kuonde muchungʼie mondo uluwe.
4 And let there be between you and the ark the space of two thousand cubits: that you may see it afar off, and know which way you must go: for you have not gone this way before: and take care you come not near the ark.
Bangʼe ubiro ngʼeyo yo mudhiyoe, nikech ne pok uluwo yorni nyaka nene. Makmana, beduru mochwalore gi sandugno, madirom fut alufu ariyo mia ochiko gi piero abich gadek; kendo kik usud machiegni kode.”
5 And Josue said to the people: Be ye sanctified: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
Joshua nokone oganda Israel niya, “Pwodhreuru, nikech kiny Jehova Nyasaye biro timo gigo miwuoro e kindu.”
6 And he said to the priests: Take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people. And they obeyed his commands, and took it up and walked before them.
Joshua nowachone jodolo niya, “Kawuru Sandug Muma mar singruok kendo utel kode e nyim ji.” Omiyo ne gikawe mi gidhi nyimgi.
7 And the Lord said to Josue: This day will I begin to exalt thee before Israel: that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I am with thee also.
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Kawuono abiro tingʼi malo e wangʼ jo-Israel duto, eka ginyalo ngʼeyo ni An kodi mana kaka ne an gi Musa.
8 And do thou command the priests that carry the ark of the covenant, and say to them: When you shall have entered into part of the water of the Jordan, stand in it.
Nyis jodolo matingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok ni, ‘Ka uchopo e geng pige mag aora Jordan, to dhiuru kendo uchungʼ ei aora.’”
9 And Josue said to the children of Israel: Come hither and hear the word of the Lord your God.
Joshua nowachone jo-Israel niya, “Biuru kae kendo uchik itu ne weche Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
10 And again he said: By this you shall know that the Lord the living God is in the midst of you, and that he shall destroy before your sight the Chanaanite and the Hethite, the Hevite and the Pherezite, the Gergesite also and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite.
Kawuononi ubiro neno ranyisi ni Nyasaye mangima nikodu kendo enoriemb e nyimu jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Hivi, jo-Perizi, jo-Girgash, jo-Amor kod jo-Jebus.
11 Behold the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth shall go before you into the Jordan.
Ne, Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto biro dhi nyimu nyaka aora Jordan.
12 Prepare ye twelve men of the tribes of Israel, one of every tribe.
Koro omiyo, yier ji apar gariyo koa e dhout Israel, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot.
13 And when the priests, that carry the ark of the Lord the God of the whole earth, shall set the soles of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are beneath shall run down and go off: and those that come from above, shall stand together upon a heap.
E sa ma jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma en Ruoth Nyasaye mar piny duto, nonyon aora Jordan, pige-ge mamol koluwo aora tir nochungʼ kogingore ka pith.”
14 So the people went out of their tents, to pass over the Jordan: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant. went on before them.
Omiyo ka ji noke oa e kambi mag-gi mondo gingʼad aora Jordan, jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok notelo nyimgi.
15 And as soon as they came into the Jordan, and their feet were dipped in part of the water, (now the Jordan, it being harvest time, had filled the banks of its channel, )
Aora Jordan koro notimo ataro kuonde duto nyaka ndalo mag keyo. Omiyo ka jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok nochopo e aora Jordan mi tiendegi omulo geng aora,
16 The waters that came down from above stood in one place, and swelling up like a mountain, were seen afar off from the city that is called Adom, to the place of Sarthan: but those that were beneath, ran down into the sea of the wilderness (which now is called the Dead Sea) until they wholly failed.
pige mane mol koa malo nochungʼ. Nogingore malo kaka pith, e dala miluongo ni Adam man but Zarethan. Pi mane mol kadhi e nam mar Araba (ma tiende ni Nam Chumbi) nochungʼ chuth, omiyo ji nongʼado modhi loka komachielo, momanyore gi Jeriko.
17 And the people marched over against Jericho: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, stood girded upon the dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the people passed over through the channel that was dried up.
Jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye nochungʼ motegno e lowo motwo e dier aora Jordan, nyaka ogendini mag jo-Israel notieko kadho ka giwuotho e lowo motwo.
