< Joshua 3 >

1 And he rose early Joshua in the morning and they set out from Shittim and they came to the Jordan he and all [the] people Israel and they stayed there before they passed over.
Igitur Iosue de nocte consurgens movit castra: egredientesque de Setim, venerunt ad Iordanem ipse, et omnes filii Israel, et morati sunt ibi tres dies.
2 And it was from [the] end of three days and they passed the officers in [the] midst of the camp.
Quibus evolutis, transierunt præcones per castrorum medium,
3 And they commanded the people saying when see you [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh God your and the priests the Levites carrying it and you you will set out from place your and you will go behind it.
et clamare cœperunt: Quando videritis arcam fœderis Domini Dei vestri, et sacerdotes stirpis Leviticæ portantes eam, vos quoque consurgite, et sequimini præcedentes:
4 Nevertheless - a distance it will be between you (and between it *Q(k)*) about two thousand cubit[s] by measurement may not you draw near to it so that that you may know the way which you will go in it for not you have passed in the way from yesterday three days ago.
sitque inter vos et arcam spatium cubitorum duum millium: ut procul videre possitis, et nosse per quam viam ingrediamini: quia prius non ambulastis per eam: et cavete ne appropinquetis ad arcam.
5 And he said Joshua to the people consecrate yourselves for tomorrow he will do Yahweh in midst your wonders.
Dixitque Iosue ad populum: Sanctificamini: cras enim faciet Dominus inter vos mirabilia.
6 And he said Joshua to the priests saying lift up [the] ark of the covenant and pass over before the people and they lifted up [the] ark of the covenant and they went before the people.
Et ait ad sacerdotes: Tollite arcam fœderis, et præcedite populum. Qui iussa complentes, tulerunt, et ambulaverunt ante eos.
7 And he said Yahweh to Joshua the day this I will begin to make great you in [the] eyes of all Israel that they will know! that just as I was with Moses I will be with you.
Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Hodie incipiam exaltare te coram omni Israel: ut sciant quod sicut cum Moyse fui, ita et tecum sim.
8 And you you will command the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the covenant saying when come you to [the] edge of [the] waters of the Jordan in the Jordan you will stand still.
Tu autem præcipe sacerdotibus, qui portant arcam fœderis, et dic eis: Cum ingressi fueritis partem aquæ Iordanis, state in ea.
9 And he said Joshua to [the] people of Israel draw near hither and hear [the] words of Yahweh God your.
Dixitque Iosue ad filios Israel: Accedite huc, et audite verbum Domini Dei vestri.
10 And he said Joshua by this you will know! that God living [is] in midst your and certainly he will dispossess from before you the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
Et rursum: In hoc, inquit, scietis quod Dominus Deus vivens in medio vestri est, et disperdet in conspectu vestro Chananæum et Hethæum, Hevæum et Pherezæum, Gergesæum quoque et Iebusæum, et Amorrhæum.
11 Here! [the] ark of the covenant [the] lord of all the earth [is] about to pass on before you in the Jordan.
Ecce, arca fœderis Domini omnis terræ antecedet vos per Iordanem.
12 And therefore take for yourselves two [plus] ten man from [the] tribes of Israel a man one a man one to the tribe.
Parate duodecim viros de tribubus Israel, singulos per singulas tribus.
13 And it will be when rest [the] soles of [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of Yahweh [the] lord of all the earth in [the] waters of the Jordan [the] waters of the Jordan they will be cut off! the waters that are coming down from to above so they may stand a heap one.
Et cum posuerint vestigia pedum suorum sacerdotes qui portant arcam Domini Dei universæ terræ in aquis Iordanis, aquæ, quæ inferiores sunt, decurrent atque deficient: quæ autem desuper veniunt, in una mole consistent.
14 And it was when set out the people from tents their to pass over the Jordan and the priests [the] bearers of the ark the covenant before the people.
Igitur egressus est populus de tabernaculis suis, ut transiret Iordanem: et sacerdotes, qui portabant arcam fœderis, pergebant ante eum.
15 And just as came [the] bearers of the ark to the Jordan and [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of the ark they were dipped in [the] edge of the waters and the Jordan it is full over all banks its all [the] days of harvest.
Ingressisque eis Iordanem, et pedibus eorum in parte aquæ tinctis (Iordanis autem ripas alvei sui tempore messis impleverat)
16 And they stood the waters which came down from to above they rose a heap one far away very (from Adam *Q(K)*) the city which [is] from [the] side of Zarethan and which went down to [the] sea of the Arabah [the] Sea of Salt they were complete they were cut off and the people they passed over before Jericho.
steterunt aquæ descendentes in loco uno, et ad instar montis intumescentes apparebant procul ab urbe, quæ vocatur Adom usque ad locum Sarthan: quæ autem inferiores erant, in Mare Solitudinis (quod nunc vocatur Mortuum) descenderunt, usquequo omnino deficerent.
17 And they stood the priests [the] bearers of the ark [the] covenant of Yahweh on the dry ground in [the] middle of the Jordan firmly and all Israel [were] passing over on the dry ground until that they had finished all the nation to pass over the Jordan.
Populus autem incedebat contra Iericho: et sacerdotes qui portabant arcam fœderis Domini, stabant super siccam humum in medio Iordanis accincti, omnisque populus per arentem alveum transibat.
