< Joshua 3 >

1 Then Ioshua rose very earely, and they remoued from Shittim, and came to Iorden, he, and all the children of Israel, and lodged there, before they went ouer.
Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hundinuu ganama barii Shixiim keessaa baʼanii gara Laga Yordaanos dhufan. Utuu gamatti hin ceʼin duras achi qubatan.
2 And after three dayes the officers went throughout the hoste,
Bultii sadii booddee ajajjoonni loltootaa qubata keessa dedeemanii,
3 And commanded the people, saying, When ye see the Arke of the couenat of the Lord your God, and the Priestes of the Leuites bearing it, ye shall depart from your place, and goe after it.
akkana jedhanii namoota ajajan: “Isin yommuu taabota kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitii fi Lewwota luboota taʼan isaanii taaboticha baatan argitanitti iddoo keessanii kaatanii taaboticha faana buʼuu qabdu.
4 Yet there shalbe a space betweene you and it, about two thousande cubites by measure: ye shall not come neere vnto it, that ye may knowe the way, by the which ye shall goe: for ye haue not gone this way in times past.
Isin sababii duraan karaa kanaan hin darbiniif, karaa deemuun isinii malu ni beektu. Garuu isinii fi taaboticha gidduutti gargari fageenya gara dhundhuma kuma lama hambisaa; ittis hin dhiʼaatinaa.”
5 (Nowe Ioshua had saide vnto the people, Sanctifie your selues: for to morowe the Lord will doe wonders among you)
Iyyaasuunis uummataan, “Of qulqulleessaa; Waaqayyo bor gidduu keessanitti wantoota dinqisiisaa ni hojjetaatii” jedhe.
6 Also Ioshua spake vnto the Priestes, saying, Take vp the Arke of the couenant, and goe ouer before the people: so they tooke vp the Arke of the couenant, and went before the people.
Iyyaasuunis lubootaan, “Taabota kakuu fuudhaatii uummata dura darbaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan taaboticha fuudhanii uummata dura darban.
7 Then the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, This day will I begin to magnifie thee in the sight of all Israel, which shall knowe, that as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Akka isaan akka ani akkuman Musee wajjin ture sana si wajjin jiru beekaniif, ani harʼa fuula Israaʼeloota hundaa duratti nama guddaa si gochuu nan jalqaba.
8 Thou shalt therefore command the Priests that beare the Arke of the Couenant, saying, When ye are come to the brinke of the waters of Iorden, ye shall stande still in Iorden.
Atis luboota taabota kakuu baataniin, ‘Isin yommuu qarqara bishaan Yordaanos geessanitti, dhaqaatii laga keessa dhadhaabadhaa’ jedhi.”
9 Then Ioshua said vnto the children of Israel, Come hither, and heare the wordes of the Lord your God.
Iyyaasuunis Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhe; “As kottaatii dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dhagaʼaa.
10 And Ioshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the liuing God is among you, and that he will certainely cast out before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hiuites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Iebusites.
Akki isin itti akka Waaqni jiraataan gidduu keessan jiruu fi akka inni dhugumaan Kanaʼaanota, Heetota, Hiiwota, Feerzota, Girgaashota, Amoorotaa fi Yebuusota fuula keessan duraa ariʼee baasu beektan kanaa dha.
11 Beholde, the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of all the worlde passeth before you into Iorden.
Kunoo, taabonni kakuu Gooftaa lafa hundumaa isin duraan Yordaanos ni seena.
12 Nowe therefore take from among you twelue men out of the tribes of Israel, out of euery tribe a man.
Kanaafuu amma gosoota Israaʼel keessaa nama kudha lama jechuunis tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa nama tokko tokko filadhaa.
13 And assoone as the soles of the feete of the Priestes (that beare the Arke of the Lord God the Lord of all the worlde) shall stay in the waters of Iorden, the waters of Iorden shall be cut off: for the waters that come from aboue, shall stande still vpon an heape.
Akkuma luboonni taabota Waaqayyo Gooftaa lafa hundaa baatan miilla isaanii Yordaanos keessa seensisaniin, bishaan isaa kan gubbaadhaa gad yaaʼu ni cita; tuulamees ol dhaabata.”
14 Then when the people were departed from their tentes to goe ouer Iorden, the Priestes bearing the Arke of the Couenant, went before people.
Kanaaf yommuu namoonni laga Yordaanos ceʼuuf qubata isaanii keessaa baʼanitti, luboonni taabota kakuu baatanii isaan dura darbanii deeman.
15 And as they that bare the Arke came vnto Iorden, and the feete of the Priestes that bare the Arke were dipped in the brinke of the water, (for Iorden vseth to fill all his bankes all the time of haruest)
Yeroo midhaan galfamu hunda lagni Yordaanos guutee irra dhangalaʼa. Taʼus akkuma luboonni taaboticha baatan Yordaanos gaʼanii miilli isaanii qarqara bishaanii tuqeen,
16 Then the waters that came downe from aboue, stayed and rose vpon an heape and departed farre from the citie of Adam, that was beside Zaretan: but the waters that came downe towarde the Sea of the wildernes, euen the salt Sea, failed, and were cut off: so the people went right ouer against Iericho.
bishaan burqaa oliitii dhufu yaaʼuu dhiise. Iddoo magaalaa Addaam jedhamu kan Zaaretaan biraa sana irraa fagaatee tuulamee dhaabate; bishaan gara Galaana Arabbaatti yookaan Galaana soogiddaatti gad yaaʼus guutumaan guutuutti cite. Kanaafuu namoonni fuullee Yerikootiin gara gamaatti ceʼan.
17 But the Priestes that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, stoode drie within Iorden readie prepared, and all the Israelites went ouer dry, vntill all the people were gone cleane ouer through Iorden.
Yeroo Israaʼeloonni hundi darbaa turanitti luboonni taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatan sun hamma sabni guutumaan guutuutti lafa goggogaa irra ceʼutti walakkaa Yordaanos keessa qajeelanii lafa goggogaa irra dhaabatan.
