< Joshua 3 >

1 Joshua got up early in the morning, and they set out from Shittim. They came to the Jordan, he and all the people of Israel, and they camped there before they crossed over.
Nasapa iti bigat a bimmangon ni Josue, ket nagrubwatda manipud idiay Settim. Dimmanonda idiay Jordan, isuna ken amin a tattao ti Israel, ket nagkampoda sadiay sakbay a bimmallasiwda.
2 After three days, the officers went through the middle of the camp;
Kalpasan iti tallo nga aldaw, napan dagiti opisyal idiay tengnga ti kampo;
3 they commanded the people, “When you see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and the priests from the Levites carrying it, you must leave this place and follow it.
imbilinda kadagiti tattao, “Inton makitayo ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ken aw-awiten daytoy dagiti padi a naggapu kadagiti Levita, masapul a pumanawkayo iti daytoy a lugar ket surotenyo ti lakasa ti tulag.
4 There must be a distance between you and it of about two thousand cubits. Do not come close to it, so that you can see which way to go, since you have not gone this way before.”
Masapul a dua ribu a kasiko ti nagbaetanyo iti daytoy. Saankayo nga umas-asideg iti daytoy tapno makitayo ti dalan a papanan, gapu ta saankayo pay idi a nagna iti daytoy a dalan.”
5 Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves tomorrow, for Yahweh will do wonders among you.”
Kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao, “Idatonyo dagiti bagiyo kenni Yahweh inton bigat, ta agaramidto kadakayo ni Yahweh kadagiti nakaskasdaaaw.”
6 Then Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass in front of the people.” So they picked up the ark of the covenant and went in front of people.
Ket kinuna ni Josue kadagiti papadi, “Awitenyo ti lakasa ti tulag ket ilabasyo iti sangoanan dagiti tattao.” Inawitda ngarud ti lakasa ti tulag ket napanda iti sangoanan dagiti tattao.
7 Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I will make you a great man in the eyes of all Israel. They will know that as I was with Moses, I will be with you.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Josue, “Ita nga aldaw, aramidenka a naindaklan a tao kadagiti mata iti amin nga Israel. Maammoandanto nga addaak kenka a kas kaaddak idi kenni Moises.
8 You will command the priests who carry the ark of the covenant, 'When you have come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you must stand still in the Jordan River.'”
Ibilinmonto kadagiti padi a mangawit iti lakasa ti tulag, “Inton makadanonkayo iti igid dagiti dandanum ti Jordan, agtalinaedkayo a sitatakter idiay Karayan Jordan.
9 Then Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come here, and listen to the words of Yahweh your God.
Ket kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Umaykayo ditoy ket denggenyo dagiti sasao ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
10 By this you will know that the living God is among you and will drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
Maammoanyo babaen iti daytoy a ti sibibiag a Dios ket adda kadakayo ket papanawennanto iti imatangyo dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Heteo, dagiti Heveo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Gergeseo, dagiti Amorreo, ken dagiti Jebuseo.
11 Look! The ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth crosses over ahead of you into the Jordan.
Kitaenyo! Agballasiw iti Jordan nga umuna kadakayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Apo iti entero a daga.
12 Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from each.
Mangpilikayo ita iti sangapulo ket dua a lallaki manipud kadagiti tribu ti Israel, maysa manipud iti tunggal tribu.
13 When the soles of the feet of the priests that carry the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, touch the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, and even the waters that flow down from upstream will stop flowing and they will stand in one heap.”
Inton masagid dagiti dapan dagiti padi a mangaw-awit iti lakasa ni Yahweh nga Apo iti entero a daga dagiti danum ti Jordan, maisinanto dagiti danum daytoy, ken uray dagiti danum dagiti akin-surong a waig ket agsardeng nga agayus ket agtakderto dagitoy a kasla sanga-gabsoon.”
14 So when the people set out to cross over the Jordan, the priests that carried the ark of the covenant went ahead of the people.
Ngarud, idi nagrubwat dagiti tattao a mangballasiw iti Karayan Jordan, napan dagiti padi a nangawit iti lakasa ti tulag nga immun-una ngem kadagiti tattao.
15 As soon as those who were carrying the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of those who carried the chest were dipped in the edge of the water (now the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of the harvest),
Apaman a makadanon iti Jordan dagidiay mangaw-awit iti lakasa, ken maitabsaw iti rabaw ti danum dagiti saka dagiti nangawit iti lakasa, (agluplupyas ti danum ti Karayan Jordan kadagiti ig-igid daytoy iti amin a tiempo ti panagaapit),
16 the waters that flowed down from upstream stood up in one heap. The water stopped flowing from a great distance. The waters stopped flowing from Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, all the way down to the sea of the Negev, the Salt Sea. The people crossed over near Jericho.
nagtakder a kasla sanga-gabsoon dagiti danum a nagayus manipud kadagiti akin-surong a waig. Nagsardeng nga agayus ti danum manipud iti adayo. Nagsardeng nga agayus dagiti danum manipud idiay Adam, ti siudad nga abay ti Sartam, agingga idiay baybay ti Negeb, ti Baybay ti Asin. Ket nagballasiw dagiti tattao iti asideg ti Jerico.
17 The priests that carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan until all the people of Israel crossed over on dry ground.
Nagtakder dagiti padi a nangawit iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh iti rabaw ti namaga a daga iti tengnga ti Jordan agingga a nakaballasiw dagiti amin a tattao iti rabaw ti namaga a daga.
