< Joshua 3 >
1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they broke up from Shittim, and came close to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.
Toang na ke len tok ah, Joshua ac mwet Israel nukewa elos tuyak ac fahsr liki acn elos muta we in acn Shittim, ac som nu Infacl Jordan. Elos tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos we ac tupan pacl in som lalos.
2 And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers passed through the midst of the camp.
Len tolu toko, mwet kol lalos elos fahsr sasla lohm nuknuk nukewa
3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then shall ye break up from your place, and go after it.
ac fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Pacl se na kowos liye mwet tol su mwet Levi srukak Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD ac fahsr, na kowos lumwani lohm nuknuk suwos ac fahsr tokolos.
4 Nevertheless there shall be a space between you and it, of about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, in order that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
Acn inge sasu nu suwos, ke ma inge elos ac fah akkalemye inkanek lowos an. Tusruktu kowos in tia fahsr apkuran nu ke Tuptup in Wuleang. Kowos in fahsr ke lusen tafun mael toko.”
5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow will the Lord do wonders in the midst of you.
Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos in akmutalye kowos mweyen lutu LEUM GOD El fah oru ku sakirik lal inmasrlowos.”
6 And Joshua said unto the priests, as followeth, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Ac Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet tol, “Srukak Tuptup in Wuleang ac us fahsr meet liki mwet uh.” Na elos oru oana el fahk.
7 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to make thee great in the eyes of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Ke mwet Israel nukewa elos liye ma nga fah oru misenge, elos ac fah mutawauk in akfulatye kom ac akilen lah nga muta yurum oana nga tuh muta yorol Moses.
8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan.
Kom in fahk nu sin mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang tuh ke elos sun infacl soko ah, elos in tui wekof uh.”
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Approach hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God.
Na Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Fahsru ac lohng kas lun LEUM GOD lowos.
10 And Joshua said, Hereby shall ye know that the living God is in the midst of you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Emorites, and the Jebusites.
Ke kowos ac fahla, God El ac fah lusak mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Hiv, mwet Periz, mwet Girgas, mwet Amor ac mwet Jebus. Na kowos fah etu lah God moul El muta inmasrlowos
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into the Jordan.
ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun faclu nufon ac fah fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan meet liki kowos.
12 And now take yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man each out of every tribe.
Ke ma inge kowos sulela mwet singoul luo, kais sie ke sruf singoul luo lun Israel.
13 And it shall come to pass, that as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, namely, the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand up as a wall.
Ke pacl se nien mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lun faclu nufon fah pusralla Infacl Jordan, na kof uh ac tui insacn, ac kof ma tuku lucng me uh ac fah lapak oana fulatan soko eol.”
14 And it came to pass, when the people broke up from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, and the priests the bearers of the ark of the covenant were before the people;
Ouinge ke mwet uh lumwani lohm nuknuk selos ac akola in fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan, mwet tol elos fahsr meet ac us Tuptup in Wuleang.
15 And as they that bore the ark were come up to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the edge of the water, [the Jordan, however, had overflowed all its banks all the time of harvest, ]
Ke pacl in kosrani uh, pacl in sronot lun Infacl Jordan. Na ke pacl se nien mwet su us Tuptup in Wuleang sun kof uh,
16 That the waters which came down from above stood still and rose up as a wall, very far from the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan; and those that ran down toward the sea of the plain, the salt sea, failed, were cut off; and the people passed over opposite to Jericho.
kof ma tuku lucng ah me tui ac lapak oana fulatan soko eol, nwakla acn uh nwe sun siti srisrik Adam su oan sisken siti Zarethan. Na kof ma soror nu ten nu in Meoa Misa lisr na pwaye, pwanang mwet uh elos ku in fahsr sasla infacl soko ah apkuranyang nu Jericho.
17 And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had finished passing over the Jordan.
Ac mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD elos tu in acn pao infulwen infacl ah nwe ke na mwet nukewa sroak liki infacl ah nu finmes uh.
