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.
Hagi Sitimima mani'nazaretira Josua'ene maka Israeli vahe'mo'za nanterame oti'za Jodani tinte e'za, seli nonkuma eme ante'za mani'naze.
2 Then the leaders went throughout the camp,
Anante tagufa zage kna evutegeno, kva vahe'mo'za kuma'ma ante'za mani'nafi vano nehu'za,
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.
amanage hu'za zmasami'naze, Tamagrama kesanageno'ma Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima Livae naga'pinti pristi vahe'mo'zama erisga hu'zama vanagetma, mani'naza kumara atretma otitma zamavariritma viho.
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].”
E'ina nehutma kama vanaza kana keso'e hiho. Na'ankure omenare kasefa kante neaze. Hianagi tamagra huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo tavaontera ovutma, 1kilomita naza kankamu amitama, afete eho.
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!”
Anante Josua'a Israeli vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra'a tamazeri agru hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a tamagri amu'nompi ruzahu kaguvaza okina erifore hugahie.
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.
Hagi Josua'a pristi vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eritma vahe'mokizmi zamavuga vugoteho, hige'za ke amage ante'za eri'za vahe zamavuga vugota hu'naze.
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.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra menina agafa hu'na Israeli vahe zamavufi kagi'a erisga hanuge'za, zamagrama ke'za antahi'zama hanazana, Mosese'enema mani'neaza huno Anumzamo'a kagri'enena mani'ne hu'za antahigahaze.
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.’”
Hagi menina huhagerafi huvempage vogisima erisaza pristi vahera amanage hunka zamasamio, tamagrama Jodani timofo ankenare'ma vanutma, ti amu'nompi vutma ome oti fatgo hiho.
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.”
Higeno Josua'a Israeli vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, amare erava'o huta Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma hiankea eme antahiho.
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].
Nehuno Josua'a amanage huno Israeli vahera zamasami'ne, ko'ma mani'naza Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Hivi vahe'ma, Peresi vahe'ma, Gilgasi vahe'ma, Amori vahe'ma, Jebusi vahe'ma zamahe panini hanigeta, kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzamo'a amu'nontifi mani'ne hutma keta antahita hugahaze.
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.
Keho, maka mopama kegava hu'nea Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimo'ma, vugota huno Jodani tima takahe'nigeta,
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].
menina Israeli vahe'mota mago'mago naga nofipintira mago vahe huhamprita zmavaretere hinke'za 12fu'a vahe eho.
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.”
Hagi Ra Anumzama maka mopama kegava hu'nea Anumzamofo Agri huhagerafi huvempage vogisima erisaza pristi vahe'mo'zama zamagama Jodani timpima ome resageno'a, tima ne'eazamo'a taneno kamanu kaziga magopi ante hihihuno marerigahie.
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.
Anante pristi vahe'mo'za huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eri'za vugota nehazage'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za ana pristi vahe'mokizmi zmavariri'za Jodani tina takahenaku seli nozamia tagana vazi'za e'neri'za maka'za zamia retro hu'naze.
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,
Hagi maka kafufina ne'zama hamare knarera Jodani timo'a tusi ti hagetere nehiane. Hagi e'i ana knarekino timo'a amutu'amutu nehifi pristi vahe'mo'za huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eri'za Jodani timofo ankenare ehanati'za zamagia timpi eme razageno,
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.
kamaniti'ma e'nea timo'a taneno ogamanu afete Zaretani tavaonte me'nea rankuma Adamua, magopi ome ante hihi huno agonagna huno marerigeno, kami kazigama fri'nea hagerintegama evia timo'a tane vagarege'za hagage mopare vu'za kantu kaziga Jeriko tava'onte uhanati'naze.
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.
Hagi Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima zamafunte'ma kofi'naza pristi vahe'mo'za, timofo amu'nompima hagegema hu'nere oti hanaveti'nage'za, ana maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Jodani timo'ma hagagema hu'nea moparera evu vagare'za kantu kaziga vu'naze.
