Joshua 3
1 Joshua [and all the other Israelis] got up early [the next] morning. They left [their camp at] Acacia and went [down] to the Jordan [River]. They camped there for two nights.
Golale, hahabedafa, Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu da wa: legadole, abula diasu Aga: isia sogebiga galu amo fisili, Yodane hano bega: asi. Amogawi, ilia da fili, Yodane Hano degemusa: ouesalu.
2 Then the leaders went throughout the camp,
Eso udiana asili, ouligisu dunu da abula diasu gilisisu amo golili asili,
3 telling the people, “You will see some of the priests, who are descendants of Levi, carrying the chest that contains the Ten Commandments that Yahweh our God gave us. When you see them, leave the places where you are camped and follow them.
dunu huluane ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia gobele salasu dunu amo dilia Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amo gaguli ahoanebe ba: sea, abula diasu mugululi, ilima fa: no bobogema.
4 You have not been (here/along this road) before, [so you must follow the priests]. But do not walk close to the chest. Stay (1,000 yards/900 meters) from the chest. [The chest is sacred, so (God will punish you/you will be punished) if you come close to it].”
Dilia da amoga musa: hame ahoasu. Amaiba: le, ilia da logo dilima olelemu. Be Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gadenene mae masa. 1gilomida fisili, sedagaga fa: no bobogema.”
5 Then Joshua told the people, “Perform the ceremonies needed to make yourselves acceptable to Yahweh, because tomorrow he is going to do things for you that will amaze you!”
Yosiua da dunu huluane ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia ledo dodofema. Bai aya Hina Gode da dilia gilisisu ganodini gasa bagade hou hamomu.”
6 Then Joshua said to the priests, “Carry the chest and go in front of the [rest of the] people.” So they lifted up the chest and went ahead.
Amalalu, e da gobele salasu dunu amo Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili lale, dunu huluane bisili masa: ne sia: i. Ilia da amo hamoi.
7 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “This is the day that I will begin to show all the Israeli people that you are a great leader. Then they will honor you, and know that I am with/helping you as I (was with/helped) Moses.
Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Na da wali muni hamosea, Isala: ili dunu da dima beda: iwane nodomu amola Na da Mousesema fidi amo defele dima fidilala amo dawa: mu.
8 Tell the priests who are carrying the chest that contains the Ten Commandments, ‘When you come to the edge of the Jordan [River], stand in the water.’”
Gobele salasu dunu da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli ahoa ilima ilia da Yodane Hano amoga doaga: sea, ilia da amo hano ganodini asili, hano be gadenene leloma: ne sia: ma.”
9 Then Joshua said to the Israeli people, “Come close to me in order that you can listen to what Yahweh, your God, is saying.”
Amalalu, Yosiua da dunu huluane ilima amane sia: i, “Guiguda: misa! Dilia Hina Gode Ea sia: nabima.
10 [When they came near], he said to them, “This is how you will know that God, who is all-powerful, is among you, and that he will expel for you the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Hiv, Periz, Girgash, Amor, and Jebus [who are now living in that land].
Dilia da gusuba: i ahoasea, E da dafawane Ga: ina: naide, Hidaide, Haifaide, Belesaide, Gegasiaide, A:moulaide amola Yebiusaide dunu huluane sefasimu.
11 Keep in mind that Yahweh is the one who rules over all the earth. The chest belongs to him, and it will be carried into the Jordan River ahead of you.
Hina Gode (osobo bagade fifi asi gala ilima Hina esala) amo Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da dili bisili Yodane Hano degesea, dilia da Esalalalebe Gode da dilia gilisisu ganodini esala dawa: mu.
12 So choose twelve men, [one from each] of the tribes of Israel, [and I will tell you later what I want them to do].
Wali dunu fagoyale gala ilegema. Isala: ili fi fagoyale gala afae afae amoga dunu afae ilegema.
13 As for the priests who are carrying the chest, as soon as they put their feet into the Jordan [River], the water will stop flowing. It will pile up because I will cause it to be blocked upstream.”
Gobele salasu amo da osobo bagade fifi asi gala amo Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli ahoa amo da ilia emo hano ganodini osa: gisia, Yodane Hano da ea ahoabe fisili, hano da sogebi afae amo ganodini agolo agoane hamomu.”
14 So when the [Israeli] people packed up their tents in order to cross the river, the priests who were carrying the chest containing the Ten Commandments went in front of them.
15 [It was springtime], when people harvest their crops, [and] at that time the river floods over its banks. But as soon as the priests reached the edge of the river and stepped into the water,
Amo eso da ha: i manu gamibi eso ba: i, amola hano da bagadewane nedei. Isala: ili dunu da ilia esalebe fisili, Yodane Hano degemusa: ahoanoba, gobele salasu dunu da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli bisili asi. Gobele salasu dunu da hano amo ganodini ahoanoba,
16 the water stopped flowing. The water piled up far [upstream], at a town named Adam, near Zarethan. The water stopped flowing down to the Dead Sea. So the people were able to cross the river near Jericho.
hano da ea ahoabe fisili, sogebi afae amo A: dame moilai bai bagade Sa: leda: ne moilai gadenei amoga agolo bi agoane hamoi. Be Yodane Hano ea ahoabe Bogoi Hano Wayabo amoga da fisi dagoi. Dunu huluane da osobo hafoga: i amoga degei. Ilia da Yeligou moilai bai bagade gadenene degei.
17 The priests who were carrying the chest containing the Ten Commandments that Yahweh [had given them] stood on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan [riverbed], while the rest of the Israeli people crossed the river [as though they were crossing] dry ground.
Isala: ili dunu huluane da hafoga: i osobo amoga degelaloba, gobele salasu dunu ilia da Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gaguli asili, hafoga: i osobo Yodane Hano dogoa amoga lelu. Dunu huluane da degei dagoiba: le yolesi.
