Joshua 3
1 So then Joshua rose early in the morning, and they brake up from The Acacias and came as far as the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, —and they lodged there before they passed over.
Gokinyi mangʼich Joshua kod jo-Israel duto nowuok koa Shitim, mi gidhi nyaka e aora Jordan, negibiro kanyo kapok giidho loka.
2 And it came to pass, after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp,
Bangʼ ndalo adek jotelo nowuotho e kuonde kambi duto,
3 and commanded the people saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and, the priests the Levites, bearing it, ye also, shall break up out of your place, and come after it.
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 Yet shall there be, a distance, between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure, —do not come near unto it that ye may get to know the way by which ye must go, for ye have not passed this way, heretofore.
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 Then said Joshua unto the people, Hallow yourselves, —for, to-morrow, will Yahweh do in your midst, wonderful things.
Joshua nokone oganda Israel niya, “Pwodhreuru, nikech kiny Jehova Nyasaye biro timo gigo miwuoro e kindu.”
6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take ye up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people. So they took up the ark of the covenant, and went on before the people.
Joshua nowachone jodolo niya, “Kawuru Sandug Muma mar singruok kendo utel kode e nyim ji.” Omiyo ne gikawe mi gidhi nyimgi.
7 Then said Yahweh unto Joshua: This day, will I begin to magnify thee in the eyes of all Israel, —who shall know, that, as I was with Moses, I will be with thee.
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 Thou, therefore, shalt command the priests who am bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, —When ye are come as far as the edge of the waters of the Jordan, in the Jordan, shall ye stand.
Nyis jodolo matingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok ni, ‘Ka uchopo e geng pige mag aora Jordan, to dhiuru kendo uchungʼ ei aora.’”
9 Then said Joshua, unto the sons of Israel, —Draw near hither, and hear ye the words of Yahweh your God.
Joshua nowachone jo-Israel niya, “Biuru kae kendo uchik itu ne weche Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
10 And Joshua said, Hereby, shall ye know, that a Living GOD is in your midst, —and that he will, certainly dispossess, from before you, the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Hivite and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
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 Lo! the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, is about to pass before you into the Jordan.
Ne, Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto biro dhi nyimu nyaka aora Jordan.
12 Now, therefore, take you twelve men, out of the tribes of Israel, —one man severally for each tribe;
Koro omiyo, yier ji apar gariyo koa e dhout Israel, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot.
13 and it shall be, when the soles of the feet of the priests who are bearing the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, do rest, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, shall be cut off, the waters that are coming down from above, —and shall stand in one mound.
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 And it came to pass, when the people set out from their tents, to cross the Jordan, —with the priests, bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,
Omiyo ka ji noke oa e kambi mag-gi mondo gingʼad aora Jordan, jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok notelo nyimgi.
15 then, as the bearers of the ark came as far as the Jordan, and, the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark, were dipped in the edge of the waters, —the Jordan being full over all his banks, all the days of harvest,
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 that the waters which were coming down from above, stood—rose up in one mound, a great way off, by the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan, and, they which were going down to the sea of the waste plain, the salt sea, failed—were cut off, —and, the people, passed over, right against Jericho.
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 priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, stood on dry ground, in the midst of the Jordan, with firm footing, —while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, until all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan.
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.
